ABSTRACT:
A holder for paper towels and the like. A standard extends from the side of a flat base and is integral therewith. A major portion of the standard comprises four radially outwardly-extending strips extending out at ninety-degree intervals from a common center, the outer edges of all strips tapering together outwardly from a widest portion at the base. A minor portion distant from the base comprises an extension of each of the four strips, with them separated from each other at the center by a gradually increasing amount. The strips can be forced in toward the center with springy resilience tending to restore them to a normal outward position. Each strip terminates at an out-turned finial. A roll of paper can be placed on the standard by urging the finials inward and then pushing the paper roll toward the base until the finials emerge from the opposite end of the roll and by spring-action expand to overlie and engage the end of the paper roll and retain it in place on the standard, the standard then retaining the paper roll rotatably but with some braking force thereon. If desired, an outer tubular cap may be put in place for engagement with the finials and adjacent the paper roll.
