Claim:
A device for use in separating multi-ply rolled paper, the device comprising: at least one member having a first end and a second end, a longitudinal axis, the longitudinal axis extending between the first end and the second end, and a top surface and a bottom surface, the top surface and bottom surface being parallel to the longitudinal axis; at least one arm, having an upper end portion and a lower end portion, the lower end portion coupled to one of the first and second ends of the member and the upper end portion removably mounted to a multi-ply rolled paper holder bar formed in a multi-ply rolled paper holder; and wherein the at least one arm secures the at least one member at a distance from the multi-ply rolled paper holder so that when multi-ply rolled paper is positioned on the multi-ply rolled paper holder, the member is positioned below the height of the multi-ply rolled paper holder bar and divides the multi-ply rolled paper into separate plies by passing a first ply over the top surface and a second ply over the bottom surface of the member.
