An axle for rotatably mounting a roll of sheet material such as a roll of toilet paper or a roll of paper towel in position in a roll holder comprises a cylindrical main body 3 and a pair of rods 5, 6 protruding axially from opposite ends 3a, 3b of the main body, at least one of which rods is a movable rod 5 energized outwardly by a spring 4 in a state rectractable into the interior of the main body, and a stopper 7, which engages an end face of the roll, formed at the movable rod end of the main body by a disc-shaped flange or a plurality of radially extending protuberances extended to an overall diameter greater than the inside diameter of the central hollow core of the roll of sheet material. The provision of the stopper facilitates the work of mounting the roll of sheet material and the axle on the roll holder The end 3b of the main body is tapered for easy insertion into the roll. <IMAGE> |
