Dispenser handle for rolls of flexible sheeting material

A handle for use with a hollow core, for holding a web of material, the core having an inner diameter, the handle comprising:

• (a) an insert portion having an internal surface and an external surface
• (b) a plurality of fins extending radially from the external contact the inner diameter of the core;
• (c) an outer flange attached to the external surface of the insert portion, the flange having an outer diameter greater than the inner diameter of the core to locate the handle in the core;
• (d) a grip surface transversely integral within the internal surface of the insert portion;
• and
• (e) a plurality of rigid load-bearing supports connecting the grip surface and the internal surface of the insert portion.

A method of dispensing a web of material from a hollow core having an inner diameter, the method comprising the steps of:

• (a) providing a handle having an insert portion with a plurality of fins extending radially therefrom, the handle having an interior diameter, a grip surface and plurality of load-bearing supports connecting the grip surface and the insert portion;
• (b) inserting the insert portion into the hollow core;
• (c) gripping the grip surface;
• and
• (d) dispensing the web of material by controlling the rotation of inner diameter of the hollow core relative to the grip surface.

A dispenser handle for use with a hollow core, the hollow core having an inner diameter, the handle comprising:

• (a) an cylindrical insert portion having a first end, a second end, an inner surface and an outer surface, wherein the diameter of the outer surface is less than the inner diameter of the hollow core;
• (b) a concave grip surface;
• (c) a plurality of rigid stanchions, generally perpendicular to the grip surface, integrally disposed between the grip surface and the inner surface of the first end of the insert portion, providing support for the grip surface;
• (d) an annular flange having its inner periphery attached to the outer diameter of the first end of the insert portion, adapted to abut one end of the core to locate the handle within the core, and
• (e) a plurality of fins attached radially to the outer diameter of the insert portion, such fins laterally positioned between the first end and the second end of the insert portion, such fins being flexible to allow controlled rotational movement of the hollow core by producing friction between the inner diameter of the hollow core and the fins.

A handle for holding rolled material wrapped around a hollow core comprising:

• (a) a cylinder sized to fit within the hollow core;
• (b) a flange attached to the cylinder at one end sized to abut the edge of the core when the cylinder is fitted within the core;
• (c) a grip surface supported within the cylinder by radial stanchions;
• (d) a plurality of radial fins longitudinally attached to the cylinder which are deformable to allow friction or contact with cores of different sizes.
