C. MOSER DEVICE FOR HOLDING TOILET PAPER ROLLS Filed Oct. 1926 INVENTOR. CHARLES MOJER A TTORNE Y.

CHARLES MOSEB, 01 LOS ANGELES, CALTFO RNIB;

DEVICE son nonnme TOILET-PAPER ROLLS.

Application filed October 2, 1926. Serial No. 139,073.

This invention relates more specifically to a device for rotatably mounting rolls of to1let I An important ob ect of myf'inventron 1s 5 to provide a toilet paper holding device so arranged that a hollow roll of paper may be quickly mounted thereon and the hollow core on which the same is wound, may be removed therefrom without the necessity of dismantling the device.

A further object is to provide a devlce provided with a stationary spindle for rotatably mounting a paper roll thereon provided on its outer end with a collapsible flange for '5 preventing an accidental detachmentof the roll from the" spindle when the same 1s rotated.

Further objects and advantageswill be apparent from the following description, reference being had to the accompanying drawings forming a part thereof, in which:

Fig. 1 is a perspective view of the paper roll holder.

Fig. 2 is a plan view of the holder with the paper roll in section mounted thereon.

Fig. 3 is a detail view of the roll spindle showing the method of mounting a roll thereon. g Fig. 4 is a similar view showing the method w of removing the roll core from the spindle after the paper has been removed therefrom.

Fig. 5 is an end view of the spindle showing the collapsible flange.

Fig. 6 is a longitudinal section'through the i5 outer end of the spindle showing the spring operated flange.

Referring now more particularly to the drawings, the device as here shown referably consistsof a metal stamping ormed m from a single sheet of material, and consisting of a. bracket member 10, having an attaching plate 11, bent at right angles thereto, said plate being provided with screw holes 12 in order that the device may be rigidly m secured to a. stationary support. The metal at the outer end of the bracket is bent at right angles thereto and rolled into a tubular spindle 13 whose length is slightly greater than the width of a roll of ordinary toilet paper which it is designed to carry.

The outer end of the spindle 13 is prospindle.

vided with a collapsible flange 14 pivotally mountedpn a transversely disposed bearing pin 15 diametrically and rigidly secured in the tubular wall of the spindle. The lower end of flange 14 is cut away as at 16 for the reception of a coiled spring 17 that encircles the pin, one end 17 of the spring being fast to the flange, while its other end 18 extends within the'hollow spindle and bears against its inner wall, the spring normally forcing the flange into a vertical position and against the seat 19 formed on the free end of the The side edges of the flange 14 taper upwardly towards each other to form a pointed end 20 that is bent outwardly in order to facilitate the insertion of the paper roll 21 on the spindle and the removal of the hollow winding core 22 after the paper has been removed therefrom.

In Fig. 3 I have illustrated the method of mounting a roll on the spindle, and Fig. 4: illustrates the removal of the hollow core 22 therefrom. I en mounting the roll 21 on the spindle the same is applied at an angle thereto to depress the spring controlled flange downwardly, this method of mounting being accomplished in a single operation.

The method of core removal is readily discernable from an inspection of The flange 14 serves a dual that of serving to prevent an 4:. purpose first, accidental delatchment of the roll from the spindle when rotating the same, and secondly, to furnish sufficient friction to theadjacent end of the roll to prevent a too rapid rotation of the same.

By forming the device out of a single.sheet of metal great economy of cost and production is afforded, the stamped stationary spindle replacing the usual wood rotatable spindle and its trunnions.

What I claim is:

1. A device of the class described comprising a sheet metal member bent into bracket form, a tubular spindle formed integrally therewith, and a spring controlled flange hingedly secured to the free end of said spindle. I

2. A device of the class described comprising a metal bracket adapted to be secured to a support, a tubular spindle secured to said bracket for supporting a roll of paper thereon, and a spring controlled flange pivotally secured to the free end of said splndle.

3. A. device for holding a roll of toilet 5 paper comprising a single piece of sheet metal die stamped to form a. tubular spindle having an attachment bracket formed at one end thereof, and a spring controlled flange of tongue form pivotally secured to the opposite end of said spindle.

Y In witness that I claim the foregoing I have hereunto subscribed my name this 11th day of Sept., 1926.
