ABSTRACT:
A cord dispensing apparatus having a body member provided with a first portion for holding a mass, ball, spool and the like of cord, a second portion for mounting the body member on a wall, panel or frame to position the cord dispensing apparatus for use thereof, and a tab portion for cutting a selected length of the cord off from the mass, ball, spool and the like. The tab portion has a free edge and a transversely extending slot adjacent to the tab portion edge and extending parallel to the tab portion edge, with an opening extending through the tab portion edge into the slot. A cutting blade extends across the slot for cutting the selected length of cord when a portion of the cord is passed through the opening into the slot and forced against the cutting blade. Preferably, the walls of the slot are tapered downwardly from the opening to the opposite ends of the slot to facilitate the cutting of the cord when the cord is pulled towards either of the slot ends. The second portion for mounting the body member can either be a tongue and groove arrangement or a hook portion on the body member. The first portion for holding the mass, ball, spool and the like of cord can be a container or a rod mounted between flanges of the body member. A locking device can be provided on the body member to securely hold the cord during the cutting thereof.
