This invention relates to a paper towel holder support and more particularly to a paper towel holder support for mounting a pair of paper towel rolls under the ledge of a conventional kitchen cabinet for selective disposition of the rolls to the front for dispensing thereof.
Wide use is made of single roll paper towel holders mounted under the shelf of conventional kitchen cabinets, and although multiple roll tissue and paper towel dispensers are known in the prior art for various applications (see for example, U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,650,487; 3,677,485 and 3,754,719) such multiple roll dispensers and holders are not practicable for use under conventional kitchen cabinets. In the known dispensers the rolls are mounted in vertically superposed disposition with their axes spaced one above another. If such an arrangement were utilized in a home kitchen where the rolls are mounted on the cabinet above a sink or counter, the rolls would interfere with the servicability of the sink or counter and there would be an inefficient utilization of the available space. Moreover, it would also present an unappealing kitchen arrangement. Furthermore, although such rolls are of a diameter such that two rolls may be mounted with their axes in spaced vertical planes one behind the other below the cabinet, the length of the conventionally used rolls together with the holders is longer than the depth of the cabinet from the wall such that a simple turntable type construction would not function. Thus, although there is a need for having a reserve roll of paper towels conveniently available above a kitchen sink, no such proposal appears in the art.
