Abstract (en)

A dispenser comprises a housing 10 containing a web of sheet material separable into sheets along spaced lines of weakness. The housing 10 has a resilient element 22 in one wall 12 having an aperture 24 through which the web is dispensed, The aperture 24 is smaller than a rope of the web material and as the web is drawn through the aperture 24 in rope form, it deforms the resilient element 22 to allow it to pass through. The resilient element squeezes the rope with sufficient force that the friction between the rope and the element during extraction of the web is less than the breaking strength of the lines of weakness when the web is in the rope, but greater than the breaking strength of the lines of weakness in the flat web,
