<p>An upright dispenser (10) is adapted to support a roll of paper towels wound on a disposable core. The dispenser (10) comprises a base (12) adapted to be supported on a support surface, and a post (14) projecting upwardly from the base (12) and sized to be received within the core of the roll. A top surface (36) of the post (14) is slanted obliquely relative to a longitudinal axis of the post (14), whereby one side of the top surface (36) is higher than a diagonally opposite side thereof, to facilitate the entry of the post (14) into a deformed end of a core. A platform (40) extends concentrically about a lower end of the post (14) for supporting the roll. The platform (40) is of smaller diameter than a largest diameter of a full roll. <IMAGE></p> |
