Abstract: A material dispenser is configured to dispense and cut rolled material. The material dispenser has a central cavity configured to hold the rolled material. A forward flap is configured to have a rear central opening that permits a portion of the rolled material to be pulled through the rear central opening. A rear flap is configured to cover the forward flap. A cutting button is embedded onto the rear flap. Folding the rear flap upon the forward flap enables cutting the portion of the rolled material with the cutting button.

Abstract: The disclosed basketball net has an integrally formed resilient net-like body of a generally tapered configuration. A connected undulating central waist portion of the body is defined by a series of oppositely disposed upper and lower cutouts to facilitate limited stretching of the net-like body about its waist. A connected undulating lower portion of the body facilitates limited stretching of the net-like body about its lower circumference. The overall shape of the net and its cutouts is adapted to provide an interaction with a regulation basketball similar to that of a conventional nylon basketball net. In one embodiment, the net is fastened to a conventional basketball hoop by a strap in the form of a high-strength metallic cable. In that embodiment, a male clip having a downwardly extending tongue is attached to the body and is connected by the strap to a female clip having a corresponding aperture.
