Abstract

A dispensing device for dispensing paper product supported on a roll comprising a pair of open-sided members which are hinged together along one longitudinal edge thereof. Each of the open-sided members comprises a curved base portion and has a pair of opposed end walls, and one or both of the open-sided members has an elongate slot for dispensing the paper product. Each open-sided member is provided with a flap area each of which carries one component of a mating interlocking mechanism so that when the open-sided members are pivoted about the hinge, the mechanisms releasably engage one another and the open-sided members substantially enclose a roll of paper product therein. An enlarged end portion is provided in each flap area, remote from the open-sided member, along with a pair of support holes.
