Claim 0:
1. A foil dispensing device comprising:
a housing comprising a box and a lid, the lid being hingedly engaged to the box, such that the lid is positioned for selectively closing an open top of the box for defining an interior space;
a motor engaged to the box and positioned in the interior space;
a spindle selectively positionable in the interior space, such that the spindle is operationally engaged to the motor and such that the spindle is rotationally engaged to the housing,
a slot positioned in the housing and extending in parallel to the spindle;
a roll of foil positioned around and engaged to the spindle, such that a free end of the roll of extends into the slot;
a motion sensor engaged to the housing and being operationally engaged to the motor, wherein the motion sensor is configured for being actuated by motion of a hand of a user for signaling the motor for selectively rotating the spindle for dispensing a section of the foil from the roll through the slot;
a cutter engaged to the housing proximate to the slot, such that the cutter is positioned for selectively engaging the foil positioned in the slot for separating the section from the roll;
a battery engaged to the housing and positioned in the interior space;
a microprocessor engaged to the housing, positioned in the interior space, and being operationally engaged to the battery, the motor, and the motion sensor; and
a mode selector engaged to the housing and being operationally engaged to the microprocessor, wherein the mode selector is configured for being selectively switched for signaling the microprocessor for actuating the motor intermittently, for actuating the motor upon receipt of a motion signal from the motion sensor, and for turning off the motor.
