ABSTRACT:
A paper roll holder including a spindle having a diameter less than the inner diameter of a roll core, a means to support the spindle, and a wedge-shaped projection extending from the spindle. The combined width of the spindle and the wedge at one end is greater than the core inner diameter, while the remainder of the spindle and wedge combined width is less than the core inner diameter. To remove a sheet from a paper roll, a user will pull on an outer sheet by its edge in a direction that is perpendicular to the spindle causing the roll to spin until a desired number of sheets are unwound from the roll. Next, the user will pull the outer towel sheet in the direction of the sloping wedge-shaped projection. This action will force the roll core edge to engage a roll core engagement edge on the wedge-shaped projection outer edge, thereby causing the towel roll to stop spinning and allow the desired number of towel sheets to be detached from the towel roll.
