Abstract

In most existing toilet paper dispensers a person must compress the spindle by grasping it and pushing, or pulling, to compress it within itself, in order to remove the empty toilet paper roll. This invention uses a rod or plunger that compresses the spring loaded spindle and permits easier access and removal of the empty toilet paper roll.
