Abstract

A dispenser is disclosed for dispensing plastic bags from bag rolls. The dispenser includes a base frame and an arm pivotally connected to the base frame. A roll stop is attached to the arm to be inserted in the core of the bag roll when one is nested on the frame. The roll stop includes an internal spring which applies a braking force to the interior of the core of the bag roll to prevent the bag roll from spinning.

 a frame;   a pivotable arm attached to the frame; and   a brake adapted to apply a braking force to the interior of the core.   
     
     
         2 . A dispenser according to  claim 1  wherein the brake is a spring. 
     
     
         3 . A dispenser according to  claim 1  wherein the brake includes a hollow cylinder and a spring disposed in the cylinder.
