Abstract
A paper dispensing apparatus includes a platform having a pair of wheels and a housing attached to the platform. A plurality of shafts extend upward from the platform to respectively support different widths of paper rolls. A handle may be attached to the housing to assist manipulation of the apparatus by an operator. Cutting blades are mounted in the housing adjacent the respective paper rolls and operate through vertical movement by means of a drawn cable. A shaft extends upward from the platform to support masking tape rolls at a position to overlap the side edge of the paper rolls. Adjustable retaining collars are provided to accommodate varying widths of paper rolls. Retaining springs are provided to apply tension to the paper rolls.
