of folded material onto a spindle to form the roll 400 in a known manner also as illustrated the adhesive tape 490 having an adhesive surface 492 will be joined to the folded construction during dispensing from the dispensing apparatus reference is made to fig9 13 for illustrating another exemplary embodiment of the present description which is similar to the previous embodiment accordingly similar structure of the present embodiment will be designated with the same reference numeral but with the addition a suffix marking u201c a u201d as illustrated in fig1 one difference is that the radially extending end portion 566 a and the distal end portion 568 a are allowed to flip open after being slit by the slitting mechanism flipping is allowed since the radially extending end portion 566 a and the distal end portion 568 a are not retained in their illustrated position see fig8 because no retaining function is being performed rather only a slitting function need be accomplished hence the radially extending end portion 566 a and the distal end portion 568 a extend in a direction which is generally parallel with the longitudinal axis 590 of the roll flipping is achieved because of the inherent flimsy nature of these thin elements reference is made to fig1 18 for illustrating another exemplary embodiment of the present description which is similar to the previous embodiment accordingly similar structure of the present embodiment will be designated with the same reference numeral but with the addition a suffix marking u201c b u201d as illustrated in fig1 one difference is that the radially.
