Patent ID: 7261254

Claim:
A holder for rolled medium, the holder comprising: a mandrel having a drive surface adapted to receive the rolled medium and further adapted to be rotated so that an amount of rolled medium on the drive surface can be unrolled therefrom; a stop located on a stop end of the drive surface; a retaining surface located on a load end of the drive surface and separated from the stop so that a rolled medium can be disposed therebetween, with the retaining surface being movable between a first position where the retaining surface projects above the drive surface and a second position where the retaining surface does not project above the drive surface; and a resilient biasing structure joined to the retaining surface and being elastically deformable with the biasing structure storing potential energy when the retaining surface is driven to the second position and releasing the stored potential energy to urge the retaining surface to move to the first position; wherein said retaining surface is positioned to engage a rolled medium positioned on the drive surface at a position between the first position and the second position and is shaped to transfer a portion of the stored potential energy in the resilient biasing structure to drive the rolled media toward the stop.
