Abstract: A body member has an arm leading angularly outwardly therefrom, and a spindle leads from the arm in parallel relation to the body member. The spindle has an upwardly extending retainer or hook on the end thereof for engaging the edge of a core on which the paper roll is wound to restrain rotation of the roll. The spindle is angled rearwardly to cause the core of the roll to frictionally engage both the top and bottom edges of the spindle to further restrain turning movement of the roll. Such spindle also may have a rearward projection which acts as a stabilizer and further restrains rolling movement of the paper roll. Also, an edge of the spindle can be serrated to restrain rolling movement, or if desired a semi-circular serrated projection can form a part of the spindle to restrain rolling movement of the paper roll.
