Abstract
Abstract A dispenser-holder of simple construction for foils which come packaged in a box of substantially square cross-section is provided which is adapted to receive and hold the box, the holder having a rigid ledge with a cutting edge so that the foil may be unrolled from the box and cut to the desired size with one hand and so that, after cutting, a protruding edge of the foil remaining on the roll extends over the rigid ledge so that the next sheet is readily obtained therefrom.
