  • Patent number: 4314679
    Abstract: A roll holder and dispenser for rolls of webbed material (11) such as used for toilet paper or towels comprising a container (10) having a first aperture (24) where rolls are inserted and a second aperture (28) from where a web of roll material can be withdrawn. The container (10) is made relatively theft proof by an inwardly angled flange (26). The flange (26) is situated near the first aperture (24), and allows a roll to be inserted but makes it difficult for a roll to be withdrawn. Near the second aperture (28) there is a second flange (30) used for separating the upper stored rolls from the bottom usable roll. A side aperture (32) is situated in a side wall (20) or (22) at the same level as the flange (30). When it is desired to pull a roll down from the storage position it is only necessary to insert a finger or thumb through the aperture (32) and engage the center core of the roll and pull it downward passed the flange (30) to the usable position at the bottom end (14) of the container (10).
