ABSTRACT:
A media loader for a media roll having a pair of endcaps. The media loader has a handle portion, a support portion adapted to partially encircle the endcap and a flexible midportion having an opening narrower than a selected portion of the endcap and adapted to flex to allow the passage therethrough of the selected portion of the endcap. The support portion is substantially the same cross-sectional size as the selected portion of the endcap but is adapted to remain stationary when the endcap rotates therein. The handle portion is adapted to accept therethrough portions of the endcap of larger cross-sectional size than the selected portion of the endcap while the flexible midportion is sufficiently stiff so as not to flex under the weight of the media loader.
