Abstract
Abstract An apparatus for cutting and dispensing sheet material from a roll of material comprising rack means carried by a pair of standards for supporting an elongated roll of sheet material. The sheet material is fed over a cutting surface under a pressure bar which holds an end of the sheet material on the cutting surface after a cutting blade severs the sheet material. An arm extends outwardly from adjacent the middle of the cutting surface for measuring the length of the material to be cut. The arm also provides means over which the material can be automatically folded upon cutting.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
172 words
An apparatus for cutting and dispensing sheet material from a roll of sheet material comprising: a pair of spaced standards, rack means carried by said standards for supporting an elongated roll of sheet material, a cutting surface carried between said spaced standards, a horizontally disposed elongated bar carried between said standards above said cutting surface, a cutting blade mounted on said elongated bar for reciprocal sliding movement, a pressure bar carried on said cutting surface adjacent said cutting blade, said sheet material extending from said roll of sheet material between said pressure bar and said cutting surface so that said pressure bar holds an end of said sheet material on said cutting surface after said cutting blade severs said sheet material, and an arm extending outwardly from said cutting surface for indicating the length of material cut one end of said arm is carried adjacent the center of said cutting surface with the other end extending outwardly therefrom so that said material can be supported in a folded manner after being cut.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
172 words
An apparatus for cutting and dispensing sheet material from a roll of sheet material comprising: a pair of spaced standards, rack means carried by said standards for supporting an elongated roll of sheet material, a cutting surface carried between said spaced standards, a horizontally disposed elongated bar carried between said standards above said cutting surface, a cutting blade mounted on said elongated bar for reciprocal sliding movement, a pressure bar carried on said cutting surface adjacent said cutting blade, said sheet material extending from said roll of sheet material between said pressure bar and said cutting surface so that said pressure bar holds an end of said sheet material on said cutting surface after said cutting blade severs said sheet material, and an arm extending outwardly from said cutting surface for indicating the length of material cut one end of said arm is carried adjacent the center of said cutting surface with the other end extending outwardly therefrom so that said material can be supported in a folded manner after being cut.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
41 words
The apparatus as set forth in claim 1, wherein said one end of said arm is pivotally connected to a bottom side of said cutting surface so that said arm can be pivoted under said cutting surface when not in use.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
19 words
The apparatus as set forth in claim 1, wherein said arm is telescoping and has a measuring scale thereon.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
39 words
The apparatus as set forth in claim 1, wherein said pressure bar is pivotally mounted between said standards so that such can be readily raised for insertion of the sheet material between the cutting surface and the pressure bar.
