| Abstract: |
A rotatable paper roll holder for rotatably supporting a roll of paper for dispensing of the paper either from over or from under the roll includes a mounting assembly for securing to a support surface such as a vertical wall. A yoke supports a spindle upon which a roll of paper can be rotatably positioned. An adjustable angle coupling secures the yoke to the mounting assembly and permits rotation of the yoke about an axis directed orthogonally through the spindle such that the paper roll can be oriented to unroll paper either from over or from under the roll as desired.
