A dispenser for a roll of web material (26) includes a housing (2), a base 12 to support the roll (26), and a tubular member (16) extending down from the base and closed at its outer end by a plate (18) having an aperture (20) therein, the aperture including a "slot" terminating at the apex (24) of the aperture. To allow a length of web material to be removed from the roll without injury to the user's hand and without wastage of web material, the aperture (20) is so configured that pulling the free end of the web material with a component of force in a horizontal direction causes the web material to be guided into the "slot" in which the web material wedges and is held, whereupon further application of force in the same direction causes the web material to tear at or below the slot. |
