Abstract
A toilet paper holding system for holding a roll of toilet paper includes a pair of arms that are each coupled to a vertical support surface having the arms being spaced apart from each other. A holder is hingedly coupled between the pair of arms. The holder is selectively positioned in an open position to have a roll of toilet paper positioned thereon. The holder is selectively positioned in a closed position to retain the roll of toilet paper between the arms.
Claims8
A toilet paper holding system comprising:
- a pair of arms, each of said arms being configured to be coupled to a vertical support surface having said arms being spaced apart from each other;
- and
- a holder being hingedly coupled between said pair of arms, said holder being selectively positioned in an open position wherein said holder is configured to have a roll of toilet paper positioned thereon, said holder being selectively positioned in a closed position wherein said holder is configured to retain the roll of toilet paper between said arms, said holder comprising a first coupler having a first end, a second end and an outer surface extending therebetween, said first end having a diameter being less than a diameter of said second end, said second end having a notch extending toward said first end.
A toilet paper holding system comprising:
- a pair of arms, each of said arms being configured to be coupled to a vertical support surface having said arms being spaced apart from each other;
- and
- a holder being hingedly coupled between said pair of arms, said holder being selectively positioned in an open position wherein said holder is configured to have a roll of toilet paper positioned thereon, said holder being selectively positioned in a closed position wherein said holder is configured to retain the roll of toilet paper between said arms, said holder comprising
- a first coupler,
- a second coupler, and
- a strap having a first end and a second end, said first end of said strap being coupled to said first coupler, said second end of said strap being coupled to said second coupler, said strap biasing said second coupler away from said first coupler such that said strap retains each of said first coupler and said second coupler in said well in an associated one of arms.

A toilet paper holding system comprising:
- a pair of arms, each of said arms being configured to be coupled to a vertical support surface having said arms being spaced apart from each other, each of said arms having a first surface, said first surface corresponding to each of said arms having a well extending inwardly therein, said first surface corresponding to each of said arms facing each other;
- and
- a holder being hingedly coupled between said pair of arms, said holder being selectively positioned in an open position wherein said holder is configured to have a roll of toilet paper positioned thereon, said holder being selectively positioned in a closed position wherein said holder is configured to retain the roll of toilet paper between said arms, said holder comprising:
- a first coupler having a first end, a second end and an outer surface extending therebetween, said first end having a diameter being less than a diameter of said second end, said second end having a notch extending toward said first end, said outer surface having a cut out portion being aligned with said second end, said cut out portion intersecting said notch, said first end being slidably inserted into said well corresponding to an associated one of said arms,
- a second coupler having a primary end and a secondary end, said primary end having a diameter being less than a diameter of said secondary end, said primary end being slidably inserted into said well corresponding to an associated one of said arms,
- a shaft having a leading end and a following end, said following end having a tab extending outwardly therefrom, said tab being positioned in said notch in said first coupler, said shaft extending horizontally between said arms when said holder is positioned in said closed position having said tab abutting said first coupler thereby retaining said shaft in the horizontal orientation, said shaft extending upwardly at an angle from said first coupler having said leading end extending into said cut out such that said leading end is inhibited from engaging said first coupler,
- a pin extending through said first coupler and said tab such that said shaft is hingedly retained on said first coupler, and
- a strap having a first end and a second end, said first end of said strap being coupled to said first coupler, said second end of said strap being coupled to said second coupler, said strap biasing said second coupler away from said first coupler such that said strap retains each of said first coupler and said second coupler in said well in an associated one of arms.
