Abstract
Abstract The bracket comprises two support members adapted to be secured to a wall or the like at spaced apart positions and two shaft means, each adapted to be removably coupled to one of the support members for supporting a roll of material for rotation between the two support members. Each support member comprises a body having a slot formed therein from one side to an opposite side. Each shaft means comprises a shaft portion adapted to be inserted into the axial opening at one end of the roll of material and a coupling portion having a slot formed therein from one side to an opposite side. A portion of the coupling portion of each shaft means is adapted to be removably received in the slot of one of the support members and a portion of the body of the corresponding support member is adapted to be removably received in the slot of the coupling portion of the shaft means whereby the shaft means may be removably interlocked with the support member. The two support members are identical and the two shaft means are identical.
