Abstract

A dispensing device for a roll of material (31) coiled on a hollow core, the device having means (15) for supporting generally in the roll (31), wherein
  • in a first axial position of the roll (31) relative to the device, the roll (31) is free so as to dispense the material still in the roll (31) and
  • in a second axial position, the roll (31) is restrained against rotation
  • the roll (31) being used in the first and second axial positions by axial motion relative to the rotational axis of the roll (31).
    • Figure 00000001
