Abstract

Adapters for solid or coreless rolls of material dispensed in a roll dispenser, which may have slots defined on the side walls thereof. The adapters may have a base body with a first side disposable adjacent to the roll and a second side disposable adjacent to the side walls of the dispenser. A protrusion may extend substantially transverse from the first side and may have a shape and length so as to extend at least partially into a recess or divot formed in the vertical sides of the rolls. An engaging member may extend substantially transverse from the second side of the body member and may have a shape and a length so as to be insertable into and slidable along slots disposed in the dispenser. A pair of the adapters may engage and hold the roll therebetween within the dispenser and may allow for the roll to move along the slots defined in the dispenser to a dispensing position.
