  • Patent number: 4828193
    Abstract: A one handed sheet holder for enabling a user to tear off the desired amount of sheets from a roll single handedly. The sheet holder is conformed to be attached to a standard sheet dispensing means, such as a toilet paper dispenser, a paper towel dispenser, and the like. The sheet holder has one or more retaining slots cut into the top of the holder which are wider at the opening and narrower at the ending of the slot. As a result, sheets drawn into the slot are forced to the narrow ending, bunch, and tear leaving the end of the roll of the paper captured in the slot and the desired amount of paper for use in the user's hands. As a result, handicapped and other individuals can easily secure the desired amount of rolled sections of tissue single handedly. Further, the end of the roll is captured and displayed so that it can be simply and easily retained when further sections of paper are desired.
