Elongate material dispenser system
An elongate material dispenser system for providing a positive locking structure for retaining a disposable spool regardless of the physical state of the spool's cardboard core. The elongate material dispenser system includes a handle member having a handle shoulder, a handle shank having a first prong and a second prong extending from the handle member, an end member having an end shoulder, a tongue member having a plurality of first teeth and a plurality of second teeth, a first cross member having a first positive member, and a second cross member having a second positive member. The first positive member and the second positive member catchably engage the second teeth within the tongue member. The resilient prongs retain the first positive member and the second positive member in engagement with the second teeth regardless of the physical state of the core.
