Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented J 1111c 2, 1914;.
Application filed December 15, 1913. Serial No. 806,694.
To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, SETH WHEELER, a
citizen of the U11 ited States of America, and
a resident of Castlcton, county of liens selaer, and State of New York, have 1nvented certain new and useiul Improvements in Paper-Holders, of which the ifollowing is a specification, reference belng had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part thereof. 7
My invention relates to improvements 111 holders or fixtures for paper rolls.
One object oi my invention :is to provide a simple and durable fixture oi. the aforesaid; character in which a paper roll may be readily mounted without the necessity of turning screws or making other ad ustmentS.
Another object is to arrange the fixturei to produce and maintain a suitable amount of friction between the ends of the paper roll and the respective arms or the fixture, as the size of the roll is reduced in service,
and to prevent the removal of the roll. until allot the paper is unwound. I
Another object is to provide the combination of a fixture having spring-actuated engaging members with a paper roll having a hollow core with shoulders near lts ends with which such members engage.
Other objects of my invention will be set forth hereinafter, and in order that my in-' vention may be :Eully understood, I will proceed to describe the some in the following specification, and then point out the novel features thereof in appended claims.
Referring to the drawings: Figure l is a front elevation of a fixture embodying my invention with the paper roll shown 11]. section and a portion oi its core broken away to disirlose one of the holding members of the fixture and the construction of the core. A transverse sectional elevation oi the fixture and core is shown in Fig. 2, the outline of the roll being indicated by broken lines. Figs. 3 and t are respectively a sec tional detail and an end view of one of the core engaging members. of one of the arms of the fixture, illustrating its pivotal connection with the base, is shown in Fig. 5.
The paper holder comprises a base plate 10 which may be supported in any suitable manner as, for example, by screws 11 which may extend into a vertical wall 12, out- A sectional detail core- engaging members 17 and 18. The arm 15 is rigidly secured to the base plate 10 but the arm 16 is pivotally supported from the base plate as shown in Fig. 5 of the drawings. Any suitable means may of course be employed for eiiecting this connection, but in the arrangement shown the base is provided with a semi-cylindrical cross rib 13 adjacent to which is a narrow opening 1-1, a curved projection 19 from the arm 16 extending through the opening leiand cooperating with the semi-cylindrical rib 13. Aside from their mounting the arms 15 and 1,6 are similar and each of them is provided near its outer end with a hollow hub or boss 20 through which a pin or rivet 21 extends. To the inner ends of the respective pins or rivets 21 are afiixed the engaging members 17 and 18 and the outer ends of the pins are enlarged to form heads 22. The pins rotate in the hubs 20 in which they are supported and are also free to slide longitudinally therein, and a helical spring 23 is mounted on each. pin between the outer surface of the arm and the head. 22. This spring is under compression and tends to pull the engaging member, which is attached to the pin, against the hub or boss 20 of the arm as shown in Fig. 3. Extending downwardly from each of the arms a projection 25, the inner surface oi-which forms a continuation of the flat inner surface oil. the arm which, as hereinafter pointed out, is a friction surface and bears against the ends of a paper roll and its core.
Each of the members 17 and 18 in the specific construction shown in the drawings, is in the form oi a square with its corners cut oil conically. 'lhey are so out as to taper away from the arm on which the member is mounted and the largest diameter oi the conic-ally curved surface is substantially equal to the inside diameter of the core of the paper roll which is to be supported.
Rolls of paper such as toilet paper or paper towels are usually wound. upon cores.
In the drawings 30 represents a roll of paper of this character, and 35 is a core upon which the paper is wound. The term roll as used hereinafter is intended to include the core as a part of it.
The core shown is preferably made of I cardboard or some other suitable material which has suilicient body to support the roll wardly extending arms jl516, and a palr of i and at the same time is somewhat flexible.
Formed in the core near its respective ends "are indentations which constrict the opening near the ends of the core and produce annular projections or shoulders 86. The core may be otherwise provided with inwardly extending project-ions or shoulders which may be engaged by the engaging members when the roll is mounted in position. This is accomplished by merely swinging the arm 16 out of the way, holding the roll in place and pushing the engaging member 17 into one end of the core by pressing on the head or enlargement 22 of the pin 21 to which the member 1'7 is secured to compress its spring 21 and at the same time pushing the core against the arm 15. The arm 16 is next swung into position and pushed against its end of the roll and the engaging member 18 forced into its end of the core in like manner.
The shape of each engaging member is such that the core is temporarily distorted to a slight extent as the engaging member is forced into it, by reason of the action of the tapered or cone-shaped surfaces of the member or the shoulder 36 of the core, but after the member is in place it will hook onto and exert a considerable pull against the shoulder caused by the springs 23 and cannot be removed without actually tearing and destroying the core which of course cannot be done until the paper has been re moved. Therefore the roll, as awhole, can obviously not be removed once it is in place except by unwinding the paper.
The springs 23 continue to exert such a pull as to hold the ends of the paper roll firmly against the friction surfaces provided on the interior of the respective arms and on the projections 25 as above indicated. The springs are designed so as to produce a suitable amount of friction to retard the turning of the roll and the removal of the paper. It may be noted that the area of the paper roll which is pressed against the arms of the fixture, is greater when the roll is large than it is after it has been partly used up. As a result of this the retarding effect is greatest when the paper is pulledofi' at a greater distance from the axis of the roll thanit is when the diameter of the roll has been diminished so that the tension on the paper as it is drawn oil, is practically the same under all conditions. It is obvious that if desired both of the arms may be pivoted or that the right hand arm 15 may be pivoted instead of the left hand arm.

A paper holder comprising a base having outwardly extending arms one of which is pivoted thereon and is adapted to swing toward and away from the other arm, a pair of engaging members mounted on the adjacent sides of the respective arms, and a spring for pulling each engaging member toward its arm, said holding members being adapted to enter the respective ends of a paper roll and to engage therewith.
