  • Patent number: 5213245
    Abstract: An improved clear-wrap dispenser is provided which consists of a housing having a bottom wall, a front wall and a pair of side walls, so as to form a compartment therein with an open back and an open top. A generally U-shaped handle is pivotally mounted to the side walls of the housing, so that when in an upright position the handle can be gripped to carry the housing. A roll of clear-wrap is rotatably positioned within the compartment in the housing from the open back between the side walls, so as to be dispensed therefrom through the open top. A cutting blade is disposed within the housing along a top edge of the front wall. A mechanism is for retracting and extracting the cutting blade with respect to the top edge of the front wall of the housing by pivoting the handle on the side walls, so that when retracted the cutting blade will be safely stored and when extracted the cutting blade will be able to cut the clear-wrap being dispensed therefrom.
