A dispenser comprising a rotating member and a holding member. The rotating member includes a first portion and a second portion. The first portion has an outer surface and a cylindrical inner surface defining a diameter. The second portion has an outer surface and a cylindrical inner surface defining a diameter. The diameter of the cylindrical inner surface of the second portion is greater than the diameter of the cylindrical inner surface of the first portion. A plurality of ribs extends radially inwardly from the cylindrical inner surface of the second portion. The holding member is located radially outwardly of the first portion. The holding member has an inner surface and an outer surface.

An arm for an unwinder for unwinding rolls is disclosed. The arm includes an axial engaging member for engaging the rolls. The axial engaging member has a shaft supported by at least two support bearings mounted on the arm, so as to rotate around a rotation axis. A brake is also provided, adapted to act on the shaft. The brake is at least partially arranged between the two support bearings.

A tape dispenser housing wound adhesive tape includes a brake spoke tapering (i.e., narrowing) from a distal radial end to a proximal radial end relative to a tape rotational axis, wherein the brake spoke effectuates the braking of wound adhesive tape on a hub by contacting the wound adhesive tape, the hub, or both simultaneously.

A web material dispenser includes a housing and a pivotable roll support assembly provided therein. A first mandrel is provided at a first attachment location of the roll support assembly to support a first roll of web material. A second mandrel is provided at a second location of the roll support assembly to support a second roll of web material. The web material dispenser permits one-handed operation to replace the rolls of web material and to change positions of the mandrels within the dispenser. The roll support assembly may have a linkage arm and/or a roll support arm. Positions of the first and second mandrels relative to the dispenser's opening can be switched by pivoting the linkage arm relative to the housing and by pivoting the roll support arm relative to the linkage arm. A method for switching positions of rolls in the web material dispenser is also provided.
