Abstract

An apparatus for dispensing pre-cut material wound into a coil or folded into a “Z” comprises a casing forming a receptacle with a bottom plate, a lower horizontal wall, vertical walls with a lid that is hinged at the base of the casing and raised vertically up to its closure. The apparatus also comprises a shutter attached to the side walls of the casing and is positioned vertically. The said shutter has in its upper portion a curvilinear configuration for the passage and guidance of the pre-cut strip of material. The said strip of material passes between the said shutter and said lid. The said shutter and said lid each has an identical central cut to allow the release of the pre-cut strip of material and its gripping. The said shutter has around the peripheral edge of said cut, an element having a curvilinear configuration over the entire circumference of the peripheral edge of the said central cut formed on the shutter perpendicular to the shutter plane, and in that the said element has a progressive height differentiated from its central part corresponding to the upper part of the central cut up to its ends forming a ramp. The said ends of said element provide penetration into the strip of material in the pre-cut line thereof to then ensure full transverse tearing and separation of a given section of material.
