ABSTRACT:
A device used to hold any material stored on or dispensed from a roll. The device comprises two shafts placed a given distance apart from each other and running substantially parallel to each other. A pivot structure is attached to the outer end of each shaft. The inner end of each shaft is fixed to a support structure such as a wall or cabinet. Support arms are fixed to the pivot structures at one end, and are oriented with the other end of the support arm pointing toward, and aligned on a common central longitudinal axis, with the support arm fixed to the pivot structure of the other arm. The support arms pivot only in a limited arc from horizontal to nearly perpendicular. Gravity tends to hold the arms in horizontal position. The roll is free to rotate on its central longitudinal axis on the support arms allowing a desired amount of material to be unrolled. The roll is removed by pushing the roll upward, causing the support arms to rotate upward and out of the central longitudinal aperture of the roll. The roll is installed by moving the roll upward against the support arms until top of the roll moves past the tips of the support arms, allowing the support arms to enter the central longitudinal aperture of the roll on each end. The roll is then allowed to move downward until the support arms are horizontal.
