An improved spindle (10) for use in a dispenser (12) for rolled material such as toilet paper is disclosed in its preferred form as including a core (30) having a length to extend between the inside surfaces (22, 24) of the dispenser (12). The first end (32) of the core (30) is held in the dispenser recess (26) by a plug (34) threadably received therein. The second end (38) of the core (30) is held in the dispenser recess (28) by a sleeve (40) telescopically received therein and which is biased outwardly by a compression spring (56). Access to the sleeve (40) is provided only at a location intermediate the ends (32, 38) and which is overlain by the rolled material while access to the sleeve (40) is effectively prevented adjacent the second end (38) of the core (30) and the dispenser recess (28). In the most preferred form, a longitudinal slot (54) is formed in the core (30) to allow access to the sleeve (40) and specifically to a tab (48) formed on the sleeve (40) having a detent (50) which extends into the slot (54). Thus, in order to remove the spindle (10) from the dispenser (12), it is necessary to remove the rolled material to obtain access to the tab (48) and detent (50) of the sleeve (40) through the slot (54) to allow removal of the sleeve (40) from the dispenser recess (28).
