A plurality of blades are supported for initially severing a continuous tubular core into a plurality of specialty cores and subsequently slitting a continuous sheet of paper as it is drawn from a bulk roll and wound about the specialty cores. Each blade is replaceably carried by an assembly which is selectively positionable along a bar to provide specialty rolls of coiled paper in predetermined widths. A mandrel upon which the core is carried is provided with a plurality of spaced annular grooves for receiving the cutting edge of each blade.

Abstract:
A roll of tape or paper is releaseably retained upon a roll holder by a flexible retention member, carried by the holder and normally outwardly biased to engage the core of the roll. A pivotally connected arm is biased to urge a bearing element at the free end thereof against the outer surface of the paper roll to check uncoiling of the paper sheet. The bearing element is automatically lifted and positioned in reponse to movement of the roll against a camming surface during attachment of the roll to the roll holder. A detachably securable auxiliary roll holder applies tape along the normally free edge of the paper sheet. Also disclosed is an auxiliary tape dispenser carried by the frame of a portable masking machine.
A pair of support arms extend from a base adapted to be attached to a selected surface. The arms are spaced apart to receive a roll of coiled sheet material, such as toilet tissue or paper towels therebetween. A pair of opposed fingers, carried by the support arms rotatably support the roll. The fingers, which are biased to enter the hollow core of the roll are deflectively movable in separable directions in response to urging of the roll to receive the roll therebetween.
