Abstract:

A rolled material holder includes rotatable disks as base members with pivotable arms for holding opposing open ends of a cylinder having a roll of material. The rotatable disks allow an installer to mount the holder on any surface without limitation to being just horizontal or just vertical. Each of a pair of side frame members has a cavity, and the disks are positioned in the cavities and have a selectable orientation within the respective cavity of the side frame members. Each base member has a recess in which are mounted a pair of arms for holding the cylinder at the opposing open ends.

Abstract:

A rollerless device is disclosed for supporting a roll of material, such as toilet paper, within a recess within a wall, for example. The device comprises a shell having a semi-cylindrical cavity for receiving the roll and rotatable pegs mounted at opposite ends of the shell. Each peg includes a hub which is rotatable relative to a base secured to the shell at approximately the midpoint of the shell. Each base and hub includes cooperating members for limiting the movement of the hub from a first position in which the core of the roll is rotatably mounted in the center of the cylindrical cavity, and a second position in which the core can be removed or a new roll inserted into the cavity. The second position is such that when the pegs are not constrained, they will fall under the influence of gravity to the first or roll supporting position.
