A portable apparatus for holding and dispensing a coiled strip of ribbon-like material, such as tack strip which is used in the upholstery business, includes a pair of parallel rods which are rigidly connected at first end thereof, with the length of said rods being substantially longer than the radius of a full coil of the material. The separation of the rods is only slightly greater than the width of the ribbon-like material. An arm is pivotably connected to and mounted between the pair of rods intermediate the length of said arm and relatively near one end thereof, so as to divide the arm into longer and shorter portions. The longer portion of the arm is curved inwardly to the extent that its distal end lies near the periphery of a coil of the material. Means, such as a cotter pin, holds the coil between the rods. A spring is mounted for biasing the arm toward general longitudinal alignment with the rods. A generally U-shaped foot is secured to the distal end of the longer portion of the pivoted arm, with the open part of the foot being oriented inwardly toward the rods to encompass and bear against a peripheral portion of the coil of material. The coiled strip is restrained along a radial line that extends from the center of the coil out to the periphery thereof and at a remote point, at the periphery of the coiled material located approximately 90 DEG from the radial line.
