ABSTRACT:
A spring actuated, paper towel holding and dispensing apparatus which functions to provide adjustable and constant pressure to paper towels by utilizing a main body which slidably engages two support arms, with lateral tension being provided by a set of spring members which runs inside the main body and connects the support arms. Such lateral force permits lateral adjustment of the device to fit a variety of paper towels of differing lateral widths. The paper towel roll is secured to the device by a tension adjustment assembly, which provides constant, even, adjustable lateral tension to the paper towel roll itself, and not the paper towels. The lateral pressure is provided by either a threaded tensioning system or a retractable spring tensioning system.
