Abstract:
1. A note paper and manual dispenser combination for providing discrete segments of paper having a low-tack adhesive on one side thereof, said combination comprising: a roll of paper comprising an elongate sheet of paper of a relatively narrow width helically wound upon itself about an axis, with one surface of the sheet having a first strip of low-tack pressure sensitive adhesive extending longitudinally thereof in a narrow region of a width less than that of the sheet; a housing supporting the roll for rotation about the axis; a slot formed in the housing, said sheet extending through the slot and being positioned to enable the sheet to be manually grasped by a user and drawn from the dispenser through the slot in a length determined by the user; friction means extending outwardly from an exterior surface of the housing below the slot for engagement with a surface of the sheet to hold the sheet against inadvertent displacement from the slot, while permitting the sheet to be drawn outwardly through the slot; and a cutter carried by the housing for select engagement with the paper sheet drawn from the dispenser, to cut off discrete segments of the paper sheet, each discrete segment having a length determined by the user as said segment is cut off.
