The problem addressed by the invention is that of ensuring simple handling in the case of a device for unrolling and cutting off a strip (2) on a strip roll (3), said device having a main body (4), wherein the main body (4) has: a top side (5), having a tear-off blade (9), a gap (12), a storage plate (13) for storing the strip (2), and a roller (22); two lateral guiding surfaces (6, 7); and an underside (8). This problem is solved in that the storage plate (13) can be lateral pivoted or the roller (22) arranged after the gap (12) as viewed against the unrolling direction (11) can be inserted and locked in order to store the strip (2), wherein the storage plate (13) or the roller (22) forms the gap (12) in the end position thereof together with a rear edge (14) of the top side (5).
