Abstract: A dispensing aid is disclosed for attachment to an annular roll of tape that has an inside radial surface and an outer radial tape surface, such as a roll of masking tape for example. A pair of side risers each have at a lower end thereof an opposing, inwardly-projecting tab that is configured for sliding along the inside radial surface of the roll of tape. A top platform laterally spans the outer radial tape surface width and is fixed with an upper end of each riser. The distance between each riser may be adjustable to accommodate different tape roll widths. A cutting blade projects away from the top platform at a forward end of the platform. One of the risers may include a central slot wherein the riser is slidably engaged within the slot. The riser may include a pivot mechanism such that the riser may pivot from a vertical closed position to a horizontal open position, thereby facilitating the attachment and removal of the aid with the tape roll.

Abstract: A toilet paper holder is formed by a roll paper retainer, and a holding plate for cutting roll paper. The roll paper retainer include a back plate, a pair of holding members projecting forwardly from the back plate and having supporting members for rotatably supporting roll paper therebetween, and guide portions formed at two lateral sides of the back plate. The holding plate includes a rear plate vertically slidably fitted in the guide portions, and an upper plate projecting forwardly from the rear plate to move vertically together with the rear plate. A distal end portion is positioned on a substantially vertical line between the rotatable supporting members.

Abstract: A disposable packaging member (1) for a web or tape material (2) has an exit opening (4) for the tape material (2) that can be drawn out of the disposable packaging member (1) and a receiving part (7) for removably mounting a cutting assembly. The cutting assembly (11) includes at least one movable cutting unit, (15), a stationary support edge (14) for a material to be cut and a mounting means (13) for removably mounting the cutting assembly (11) on the packaging member. The disposable packaging member (1) can be combined with the cutting assembly (11).
