PCT No. PCT/IT97/00098 Sec. 371 Date Nov. 26, 1997 Sec. 102(e) Date Nov. 26, 1997 PCT Filed Apr. 29, 1997 PCT Pub. No. WO97/41764 PCT Pub. Date Nov. 13, 1997A container device that dispenses paper from a roll, with a roll (B) in reserve. The device has two substantially parallel pins (4,4') for supporting and unwinding paper (10) from the rolls (A, B) with two openings (20) corresponding to the pins in the lower portion of the device contained within a housing. A sector (5) shaped as part of a circle is mounted to freely rotate about one of the pins. The sector (5) has a peripheral flange (5a) that is adapted to obstruct the corresponding opening (20). When the sector (5) is kept at a first, substantially vertical position, the opening (20) is obstructed. A spring (15) urges the sector (5) to rotate until reaching a second position at which point, the previously obstructed opening (20) is made accessible. A lever (6) is provided to keep the sector (5) in a first position until a thumb follower (8), attached to the lever (6) comes into contact with the core of the roll upon roll exhaustion, whereby the sector (5) rotates to a second position making the opening (20) accessible.
