A dispenser is described for a roll of cling wrap wound on a paper core (the “wrap core’), The dispenser comprises a main paper core which fits in the wrap core in such a way that the wrap core can rotate thereabout. A handle portion in the form of a paper core is wrapped around the main core on one side of the wrap core and a stop member formed of the same paper core is wrapped around the end section. The wrap core is held in position between the handle section arid the stop member. When the cling wrap has been fully used, the user disposes of the dispenser.
1. A roll of cling wrap with a supporting dispenser comprising
A a roll of cling wrap including a tubular wrap core and a length of cling wrap wound around the wrap core over essentially the entire length of the wrap core, and
B a dispenser rotatably supporting the roll and comprised of
1) a tubular support core of wound paper consisting of
a) a spindle portion disposed within the wrap core and dimensioned such that the wrap core can rotate thereabout,
b) a handle portion which extends from one side of the spindle portion and projects beyond the wrap core, and
c) an end portion which extends from the other side of the spindle portion and projects beyond the wrap core,
2) a handle comprising a wound paper core surrounding and affixed to the handle portion of the support core and radially dimensioned to limit movement of the wrap core in one direction along the support core, and
3) a stop comprising a wound paper core surrounding and affixed to the end portion of the support core and being radially dimensioned such as to limit movement of the wrap core in a second opposite direction along the support core and to prevent the wrap core from being removed from the spindle portion of the support core.
2. Apparatus according to claim 1 in which the length of the stop core and of the support core surrounded by the stop core is insufficient in extent to enable the stop core and adjacent support core to be used effectively as a handle.
3. Apparatus according to claim 1 in which the length of the stop core and of the support core in its end portion is a minor part of the length of the handle core.
