Abstract: An anti-theft dispenser of material wound in a core-free roll. The dispenser includes a substantially planar support and a shaft to support the roll which is perpendicular to the support. The shaft is fitted at its free end with a stop and a compressible anti-extraction element which is axially rotatable on the shaft and is mounted perpendicularly to the support to prevent extraction of the roll in a direction away from the support. The dispenser is characterized in that the compressible anti-extraction element includes a plurality of flexible, compressible anti-extraction rings.
