Claim (Index 8):
A method of cutting rolled paper into sheets of paper comprising the steps of:\n a. using a paper cutting device, which device comprising: a tube with a circular cross section, the tube having an open front end, an open back end and a middle section between the front end and the back end, and having a top portion and a bottom portion separated from each other by a full length dispensing interstice on one side of the tube and a hinge on the other side of the tube, the full length dispensing interstice running axially along one side of the tube from the front end to the back end, and defined by a first edge of the top portion of the tube and a first edge of the bottom portion of the tube, the hinge running axially along one side of the tube from the front end to the back end and running parallel to the full length dispensing interstice, the hinge defining a second edge of the top portion of the tube and a second edge of the bottom portion of the tube, the hinge allowing for variations in the width of the interstice when the top portion of the tube is pivoted about the axis of the hinge; a knife blade attached to the first edge of the bottom portion of the tube, between the front end and the back end of the tube, the knife blade extending into the interstice, and which blade includes a sharp edge which faces towards the front end of the tube; b. positioning the paper cutting device around the rolled paper; c. extending a free end of the rolled paper through the full length paper dispensing interstice to a desired length to present a side edge of the free end of the rolled paper to the knife blade; d. engaging the side edge of the free end of the rolled paper with the knife blade; e. moving the paper cutting device in the direction of the side edge; and f. detaching the free end of the rolled paper from the rolled paper.
