Abstract: A dispenser for dispensing bags from a roll includes a base, a bag separator, and a swing arm pivotably mounted on the base that includes a roll retaining portion shaped and arranged for being received in an axial opening of the roll. The swing arm is pivotable with respect to the base about a pivot axis in a braking direction in which the roll retaining portion travels toward the base. A spring is operatively connected between the swing arm and the base to bias the swing arm in the braking direction whereby, when the roll retaining portion is received in the axial opening, the roll retaining portion engages the roll and urges the roll into braking engagement with the base.
