Rigid means to support a roll of toilet paper on a dispenser bracket

Claim 1

Support means for dispensing paper from a roll of toilet paper comprising, a rigid wall receptacle adapted to be mounted to a wall and having a front opening mouth sized to receive a portion of a conventional size toilet paper roll therein oriented in an attitude with the axis of the roll extending laterally of the mouth, an outwardly extending rigidly supported arm extending outwardly of the receptacle on opposite sides of the mouth, a short peg rigidly carried on each of the arms, said pegs being in confronting relation, and defining a support axis for the roll, each peg being beveled to a distal end of reduced cross section relative to the cross section of the proximal end of said peg, the terminal ends of said pegs being spaced apart a distance somewhat less than the axial length of a roll of toilet paper, and the proximal ends of said pegs being permanently spaced apart a distance greater than the width of a roll of toilet paper, and said pegs defining a cam surface between their respective terminal and proximal ends, and said pegs being of rigid material to inwardly deform at least one end of a roll of toilet paper forceably wedged between the distal ends of the pegs and into the mouth to be nested in said receptacle and rotatably supported and captivated on said pair of pegs until the diameter of the roll is reduced upon dispensing the paper, said dispenser receptacle, rigid support arms and said pegs being formed as an integral unit.
