Abstract
A mounting plate for holding a roll of wound material. The mounting plate comprises a body, a hub extending from the body for holding a core, and one or more spacers affixed to the body and extending beyond the body in the direction of the roll. Each spacer comprises an inner member which may contact the roll and one or more resiliently deformable legs extending outwardly from the inner member. The spacers can maintain contact with the ends of the roll and prevent the roll from being damaged due to telescoping or impacts with the mounting plates or other structures.
