Abstract:
The dispenser for roll materials is adapted for permanent mounting to any convenient vertical surface, e.g., a wall, door, or other vertical panel. The dispenser includes a cabinet having one or more compartments, each compartment storing and dispensing material from a roll. An openable front cover is disposed over the front of the cabinet, the front cover having a corresponding number of dispensing openings therethrough and a cutting implement slidably attached adjacent each dispensing opening. The cutting blade of each cutting implement is disposed to the opposite side of the opening from the slotted track to which the cutting implement is attached, thereby providing access to the free end of the roll material after each cut. The dispenser is particularly well suited for installation in the kitchen for dispensing aluminum foil, plastic wrap, and wax paper, and may also include an optional paper towel holder depending beneath the cabinet.
