Abstract
Abstract A paper dispensing device comprising a holder containing a paper web reel and consisting of a support (4) to be fastened to a substrate (3) and a hood (5) to be releasably fixed to said support (4), said support (4) having a central opening (9) for passing the paper web and at the side of said opening at least one ripping edge (10), while in the operational state of the device the hood covers the reel on the support, wherein the support has a rim (8) protruding like a console and passing around the side intended for the substrate, at the lower end to be fastened to the support the hood (5) has a substantially U-shaped widening (13) for receiving the rim (8) of the support (4), in the mounted position the hood grips around the rim of the support by its widened part partly from above, laterally and from below, and the hood (5) can be slipped in a self-clamping manner onto the rim (8) of the support (4) and can be fastened thereto in its end position in a resilient manner, in order to simply close and open the dispenser for inserting said paper web reel.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 14
Claim 1
Independent Claim
139 words
A paper dispensing device comprising the combination of: a supporting structure adapted to be attached to a support such as a wall, said supporting structure including a supporting surface for retaining a roll of paper while a length of paper is pulled from the roll, said supporting surface having an opening through which such length of paper may be pulled and having a peripheral portion of generally U-shaped plan view; and hood means for receiving said supporting structure in interfitted relation therewith defining an enclosure adapted to receive the roll of paper, said hood means having an open side and an open end and recess means at said open end receiving said peripheral portion of the supporting surface for simultaneously locating the hood means relative to said supporting structure and clamping said supporting surface to maintain said interfitted relation.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
139 words
A paper dispensing device comprising the combination of: a supporting structure adapted to be attached to a support such as a wall, said supporting structure including a supporting surface for retaining a roll of paper while a length of paper is pulled from the roll, said supporting surface having an opening through which such length of paper may be pulled and having a peripheral portion of generally U-shaped plan view; and hood means for receiving said supporting structure in interfitted relation therewith defining an enclosure adapted to receive the roll of paper, said hood means having an open side and an open end and recess means at said open end receiving said peripheral portion of the supporting surface for simultaneously locating the hood means relative to said supporting structure and clamping said supporting surface to maintain said interfitted relation.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
32 words
A device as defined in claim 1 including cutting edge means on said supporting surface below said opening for allowing a desired length of paper to be torn off by the user.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
28 words
A device as defined in claim 2 including guard means on said supporting surface adjacent said cutting edge means for exposing only portions of said cutting edge means.
Claim 5
Independent Claim
45 words
A device as defined in any one of claims 1-3 wherein said supporting surface is of U-shape in cross-section and said recess means is also of U-shape in cross-section, said recess means snugly receiving said peripheral portion of said shelf means throughout the lengths thereof.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
23 words
A device as defined in claim 4 wherein said supporting structure includes an upstanding attaching portion and said supporting surface projects horizontally therefrom.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
30 words
A device as defined in claim 5 wherein said open side of the hood means cooperates with the support to which the supporting structure is attached substantially to abut thereagainst.
Claim 8
Independent Claim
40 words
A device as defined in any one of claims 1-3 including at least one tab on said hood means and a detent in said supporting surface for releasably locking said hood means and said supporting structure in said interfitted relation.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
42 words
A device as defined in claim 7 wherein said supporting surface is of U-shape in cross-section and said recess means is also of U-shape in cross-section, said recess means snugly receiving said peripheral portion of said supporting surface throughout the lengths thereof.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
23 words
A device as defined in claim 8 wherein said supporting structure includes an upstanding attaching portion and said supporting surface project horizontally therefrom.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
30 words
A device as defined in claim 9 wherein said open side of the hood means cooperates with the support to which the supporting structure is attached substantially to abut thereagainst.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim
210 words
A paper dispensing device for retaining a roll of paper while successive lengths of paper are pulled from the roll and torn off at selected lengths thereof, comprising the combination of: a supporting structure adapted to be mounted on a wall and surface means projecting from said supporting surface, said surface means presenting a protruding rim having a generally U-shaped periphery; hood means for slidable engagement with said protruding rim in the direction parallel to said surface means so that the hood means and the supporting structure may be interfitted to a final relative position which defines a space, bounded at one end of said hood means by said surface means, within which the roll of paper is captured and held, said hood means being open at said one end thereof and being provided thereat with means for clamping said rim in orthogonal directions; detent means for latching said hood means and said supporting structure in said final relative position; said surface means being provided with an opening through which a length of paper may be pulled while the roll of paper is held in captured relation within said space; and cutting means adjacent said opening exteriorally of said space for cutting through the paper as it is pulled thereagainst.
Claim 13
Dependent Claim
210 words
A paper dispensing device for retaining a roll of paper while successive lengths of paper are pulled from the roll and torn off at selected lengths thereof, comprising the combination of: a supporting structure adapted to be mounted on a wall and surface means projecting from said supporting surface, said surface means presenting a protruding rim having a generally U-shaped periphery; hood means for slidable engagement with said protruding rim in the direction parallel to said surface means so that the hood means and the supporting structure may be interfitted to a final relative position which defines a space, bounded at one end of said hood means by said surface means, within which the roll of paper is captured and held, said hood means being open at said one end thereof and being provided thereat with means for clamping said rim in orthogonal directions; detent means for latching said hood means and said supporting structure in said final relative position; said surface means being provided with an opening through which a length of paper may be pulled while the roll of paper is held in captured relation within said space; and cutting means adjacent said opening exteriorally of said space for cutting through the paper as it is pulled thereagainst.
Claim 14
Dependent Claim
32 words
A device as defined in claim 11 wherein said means for clamping is defined by wall portions of said hood means disposed in generally U-haped configuration in cross-section and in plan view.
