<p>A dispenser apparatus for holding, dispensing, and severing lengths of flexible duct connector material (10) from side-by-side coils thereof includes a guide station (20) and a cut-off station (170) shiftable laterally of the apparatus and into alignment with a selected one of the coils (C1). The coils are supported on an anti-friction cradle which includes anti-friction rollers (34, 35, 36) extending laterally of the device, the ends of the rollers being supported on chains (31) hung in catenary fashion. Since the rollers are capable of moving toward and away from each other, they are free to define a cradle which conforms to the periphery of the specific coil which is being fed to assure that the connector material may be withdrawn for processing with the lowest possible force.</p> |
