Abstract:
A portable dispenser for a roll of sheet material comprising an enclosure of rectangular shape having a rear wall, bottom wall, having a free forward edge and a cover having a rear edge hingedly mounted to the rear wall being movable between an open position and a closed position for an open position for insertion of a roll of dispensing sheet material and a closed position for dispensing sheet material including a front cutting edge and including a compressible support for supporting the roll of sheet material by compressing when the full roll is inserted and gradually expanding when the material is utilized thereby raising the roll upward and frontward toward the dispensing area of the box, including the cutting edge, said compressible support being fixed to the interior of the box, whereby frictional resistance of the sponge also diminishes reverse rolling of the roll and the resultant pulling back of the leading edge of the sheet material wherein the cutting edge is held close to the parting segment of the roll of the material for the reason the position of the roll of sheet material is controlled by the compressible support.
