Abstract:
The present invention is a rolled paper cutting device and method which safely and easily cuts a variable length sheet of paper from rolled paper, including an adjustable holder for controlling the rolled paper, and a paper cutting blade embedded within a safety slot, the safety slot protecting a user from a blade related injury.

Claim (Index 7):
A paper cutting device comprising:\n a. a tube made of durable plastic 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 an interstice on one side and a hinge on the other side; b. a 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 which first edge includes along its entire length a protrusion extending axially out from the wall of the tube and a first edge of the bottom portion of the tube; c. a partial length knife engagement interstice, open towards the front end of the device and closed towards the back facing end, within which interstice a front facing blade is attached and which partial length knife engagement interstice is located along the first edge of the bottom portion of the tube, forming a paper cutting guide, separate from and along side the full length dispensing interstice and also following the axis of the tube; d. a living 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; e. a paper cutting knife blade attached to the first edge of the bottom portion of the tube, between the front end and the back end, the knife blade extending into the interstice, and which blade includes a sharp edge, which sharp edge faces towards the front end of the tube and which knife blade is an overmold embedded in the tube material, except that the front facing sharp edge of the knife blade is exposed in the direction of the front end of the tube.
