Abstract
A dispensing hopper fastened in a paper roll holder at the bottom for dispensing a paper roll, the improvement comprising a hopper body having a rotary seat revolvably secured thereto at the bottom to hold an oscillating member permitting it to oscillate on an axle disposed in radial direction through said rotary seat, wherein said oscillating member has an opening vertically through the center thereof which is consisted of two opposed tapered holes with a small hole connected therebetween, and two V-shaped retaining notches on the top edge thereof at two opposite locations at right angles to said axle. The leading end of the crepe paper of the paper roll is inserted through the tapered hole on the hopper body and lead out of the opening on the oscillating member. Pulling the crepe paper from the paper roll causes the oscillating member to oscillate to a matched angle permitting the crepe paper to be firmly retained in either V-shaped retaining notch for easy splitting.
