Pocket-sized dispenser for a spool of coiled material
A dispenser for holding a spool of coiled material utilizes a spindle having shoulder members at its ends respectively, and an elastic or resilient line extending between the shoulder members. The line traverses the outermost convolution of the coiled material, to resist free unwinding movement thereof. One of shoulder members is removable, to allow for insertion of a filled spool onto the spindle, for controlled dispensing of the coiled material. Simplicity in construction is realizable, along with compensation for gradual depletion of the coiled material as it is used up.
APPARATUS AND SYSTEM FOR FACILITATING WRAPPING OF ARTICLES WITH WRAPPING MATERIALS
An apparatus and a system for facilitating the wrapping of articles with wrapping materials is described. In one example, the system includes two or more apparatuses adapted to be secured in adjacent spaced relation to one another on a planar surface so as to support a roll of wrapping material above the planar surface so as to freely rotate between a pair of apparatuses. Each apparatus includes a clamp assembly adapted to be actuated by a user to removably attach its corresponding apparatus to a ledge of the planar surface so that the supported roll is parallel to and above the planar surface.
Streamer Dispenser
A streamer dispenser for dispensing crepe paper includes a housing. The housing has a front, a back and a sidewall extending from the back to the front defining an internal space. The front is open. A divider is coupled to the housing and is positioned in the internal space, defining a pair of compartments. A pair of slots is positioned through the sidewall of the housing. Each slot extends to a respective compartment. The compartments are positioned in the housing such that each compartment is configured for insertion of a respective roll of crepe paper.
