  • Dispenser and method of dispensing individual sheets from continuous bulk material
    Patent number: 5611455
    Abstract: A relatively heavy, free standing dispenser for continuous rolled plastic sheet material separable by tear lines. The roll is supported in a vertical position and is unwound by a steady force applied to the running end which extends through an opening of the dispenser. A sudden force is applied to separate individual sheets when the tear line passes the opening. The mass of the dispenser acts through the roll on the running end to oppose this force causing each sheet to separate cleanly beyond the opening.
