Abstract
An adaptor for supporting rolls of toilet tissue of greater than conventional diameter from an existing toilet roll holder designed to support rolls of toilet tissue of conventional diameter. The adaptor includes telescoping mandrel or spindle for rotatably supporting a roll of toilet tissue of greater than conventional diameter. A side member is attached to each end of the spindle, each side member including a journal for insertion into the holes of the existing toilet roll holder. There is a spring biasing the side members away from each other. A slide pin mechanism including a thole is associated with a slot in each of the side members. The slide pin mechanisms are moveable to any position along their respective slots by a user such that the tholes abut against a portion of the existing toilet roll holder to limit the amount of downward pivotal movement of the side members and the spindle.
