Abstract
A dispenser for a film carried on a tape has a cartridge in which is rotatable a supply spool on which the tape carrying the film is wound and a takeup spool onto which the tape is also wound. The cartridge further has a guide over which the tape passes between the spools and a one-way clutch or brake engaged between the takeup spool and the cartridge for permitting the takeup spool to rotate only in a direction winding up the tape. A brake is provided that resists rotation of the supply spool on the cartridge in a direction corresponding to unwinding of the tape from the supply spool with a force that, after a predetermined number of revolutions of the spool, decreases as the tape is unwound from the supply spool.
