Abstract
A packaging material holder comprising a bent shaft including a first arm, a base portion, and a second arm, and a plurality of magnets attached to the second arm is provided. The first arm includes an end which permits a roll of packaging material having an opening larger than a diameter of the end of the first arm to be placed over the end of the first arm and contact the base portion. The plurality of magnets magnetically couple to a magnetic surface and support a mass of the packaging material holder and a mass of the roll of packaging material.

A packaging material holder comprising:
- a bent shaft including a first arm, a base portion, and a second arm;
- and
- a plurality of magnets attached to the second arm;
- wherein the first arm includes an end configured to permit a roll of packaging material having an opening larger than a diameter of the end of the first arm to be placed over the end of the first arm and contact the base portion, and
- wherein the plurality of magnets are configured to magnetically couple to a magnetic surface and support a mass of the packaging material holder and a mass of the roll of packaging material,
- wherein the base portion includes a bend of approximately 175 degrees such that the first arm extends from the base portion about 5 degrees from parallel and the second arm extends substantially parallel from the base portion,
- wherein the plurality of magnets are disposed along the second arm such that the plurality of magnets are substantially aligned along a side of the second arm facing away from the first arm.
A packaging material holder comprising:
- a bent shaft including a first arm, a base portion, and a second arm, wherein the base portion includes a bend of approximately 175 degrees such that the first arm extends from the base portion about 5 degrees from parallel and the second arm extend substantially parallel from the base portion, and wherein the first arm includes an end which permits a roll of packaging material having an opening larger than a diameter of the end of the first arm to be placed over the end of the first arm and contact the base portion;
- a plurality of magnets attached to the second arm and magnetically couple to a magnetic surface, wherein the plurality of magnets are substantially aligned with one another, and the plurality of magnets are substantially evenly spaced from one another;
- and
- at least two frictional members disposed between the plurality of magnets to increase a friction force between the packaging material holder and the magnetic surface, and provide support for a mass of the packaging material holder and a mass of the roll of packaging material.
