Abstract: A device (1) for extracting one or more paper strip portions (3?) from a paper strip rotatably arranged around an axle, preferably rolled around a bobbin, while utilizing an edge surface serving as a tearing edge or a scissor device, belonging to a lid part (6). Adjacent the edge surface (5) and located within or below the lid part (6) is arranged a rotatable counter roller (8), adapted to press against the paper strip (3) with part of its peripheral surface. The counter roller is rotatable by a powered feed roller (7) so that the rotation will extract a paper strip portion (3?) past the edge surface. The counter roller (8) is made to press against the paper strip by a spring force. A frontal lid part (6) carries the counter roller (8) and has an edge surface or cutting edge (5).
