6. The device of claim 5 , wherein said central support assembly further comprises a second fastener mechanism operable between a first position where said second extension member is moveable relative to said second elongated member and a second position where said second extension member is fixed relative to said second elongated member.

7. The device of claim 6 , wherein said second fastener mechanism comprises a plurality of spring button holes disposed in said second elongated member and a spring button disposed in said second extension member adapted to engage one of said spring button holes.

8. The device of claim 7 , wherein said plurality of spring button holes comprises a first spring button hole, a second spring button hole, a third spring button hole, and a fourth spring button hole.

9. The device of claim 8 , wherein said first spring buttonhole is used when the film roll is 24 inches; said second spring button hole is used when the film roll is 30 inches; said third spring button hole is used when the film roll is 36 inches; said fourth spring button hole is used when the film roil is 48 inches.

10. The device of claim 9 , wherein said first fastener mechanism comprises a thumb screw disposed in said first elongated member; said thumb screw having a knob portion and an end portion engageable with said first extension member upon rotation of said knob portion.

11. The device of claim 10 , wherein said handle is removably engaged with said first elongated member.

12. The device of claim 11 , wherein said first and second elongated members are rectangular shaped.

13. The device of claim 12 , wherein said first and second extension members are rectangular shaped.

14. The device of claim 13 , wherein said first elongated member is welded to said second elongated member.

15. The device of claim 14 , wherein said second end portion of said first extension member is welded to said right support assembly.

16. The device of claim 15 , wherein said second end portion of said second extension member is welded to said left support assembly.

17. The device of claim 1 , further comprising a pressing tube having first and second end portions; said right and left support assembly each comprise a film pressing roller adapted to support said first and second end portions of said pressing tube, respectively; said film pressing roller of said right support assembly has a length L 1 ; said film mounting roller of said right support assembly has a length L 2 ; said length L 1 of said film pressing roller is greater than said length L 2 of said film mounting roller; said film pressing roller of said left support assembly has a length L 3 ; said film mounting roller of said left support assembly has a length L 4 ; said length L 3 of said film pressing roller is greater than said length L 4 of said film mounting roll.

18. The device of claim 1 , further comprising a pressing tube kit comprising first and second pressing tubes and a pressing tube assembly comprising third and fourth pressing tubes and an interconnect member; said right and left support assembly each comprise a film pressing roller adapted to support said first pressing tube; each of said film pressing rollers are further adapted to support said second pressing tube; each of said film pressing rollers are further adapted to support said pressing tube assembly; said third pressing tube having a first end portion engaged with said film pressing roller of said right support assembly and a second end portion engaged with said interconnect member; said fourth pressing tube having a first end portion engaged with said film pressing roller of said left support assembly and a second end portion removably engaged with said interconnect member; whereby said pressing kit may be used to provide film pressing tubes having lengths of 24 inches, 30 inches, 36 inches, and 48 inches while requiring a maximum packaging dimension of about 30 inches thereby reducing the size of a shipping box or container.
