Abstract
A dispensing device is provided for rolled sheet material. The device includes a base member and oppositely facing arms hinged to the base member. The arms are movable between an open position and a folded position wherein the arms completely nest within the base member to form a flush surface with the base member. A dual acting biasing mechanism is provided to bias the arm members away from the base member in their folded position and to bias the arm members towards the base member in their open position.
