Abstract
A cutting assembly for aluminum foil dispensers. The cutting assembly comprises a member corresponding to the length of the dispenser carton. The member has a U-shaped cross-section adapted to slip over the free edge of the front panel of the dispenser carton having a base web with one leg on the inside of the carton and a second leg exposed on the outside of the carton. The inside leg has an extension which is bent back over the leg and extends the full height of the inside leg to project above the base web of the U-shaped member. The upward extension is serrated with a continuous row of teeth projecting above the base, preferably a depth of 0.020'. The outside leg of the member has a flap which is bent back internally of the U-shaped member to provide a retainer strip which projects angularly upward and inward of the U-shaped member to provide a resilient flap which resists upward displacement of the member from the panel. The base web of the panel is flat, extending perpendicularly to the legs with a width of at least seven times the depth of the teeth. The height of the legs is about 1-1/2 times the width of the web.
