Abstract: An apparatus for dispensing strip material and the like from a source of the material, the apparatus having a frame; a mount borne by the frame for receiving a source of the material; a drive member mounted on the frame for feeding a strip of material from the source of the material; and a control member mounted on the frame for movement toward and from the drive member and selectively positionable to carry a strip of the material extended between the control member and the drive member into engagement with the drive member selectively to feed the strip of material from the source of material. A cartridge assembly operable with the apparatus to serve as a source of the material and having portions cooperating with the apparatus to feed the material.
