Abstract: A "U" shaped dispenser which is comprised of a base, two arms projecting from the base, and an axial rod for insertion through openings in the arms. Each arm has a side projection, or ear, that surrounds the opening and that is parallel to the base. The ears are inserted into the interior cavity of the rolled material. The rod is inserted through the interior cavity of the rolled material and locked into place by mating grooves on the rod with slots in the openings in the arms, thereby securing the rolled material into position. By pulling on the exposed end of the rolled material, a desired amount of material can be removed with one hand.Preferably, the arms are connected to the base as a single unit. The dispenser is made, preferably, of a sufficiently flexible material which allows for the arms to swing out when unfolded from the packaging material. Alternatively, the dispenser is made of a less flexible material and hinges are used to maintain flexibility.
