Support spindle assembly for a roll

A support spindle assembly for rotatably supporting a coreless paper roll for dispensing, the support spindle assembly, comprising:

• a spindle base;
• a spindle element extending along a central longitudinal axis and having a first end and a second end, said spindle element being attached to said spindle base at said first end and rotationally fixed in relation to said spindle base;
• a first rotatable sleeve rotatably disposed about said spindle element, and rotatable in relation to said spindle base and to said spindle element;
• and
• a resilient member disposed about said first end of said spindle element and configured to cooperate with said spindle base and with said first rotatable sleeve to exert an axial force directly or indirectly on the rotatable sleeve in order to provide said rotatable sleeve with rotational resistance caused by friction during unwinding.
