Abstract:
A holder () for a wrap dispenser () has a boxlike shape matched to and acceptably larger than a shape and size of a wrap dispenser that is generally square through a cross section and usually but not necessarily more or less than a foot or two long. The holder has dispenser retainers () that retain the wrap dispenser in the holder in opposition to normal pulling force to pull wrap or foil from the wrap dispenser. An ejector spring () on a bottom wall () of the holder can eject the wrap dispenser when the dispenser retainers are in a release mode. A back wall () of the wrap dispenser can be attached to vertical walls or to top surfaces of use-area structure. For attachment of the holder to undersides of tables, shelves and other use-area structure, a holder lid () can be hinged to a top of the back wall of the holder and have ends with hinged enclosure flaps () that snap-fasten to the ends of the holder. The back side of the holder and the lid can have fastener elements () that mate with corresponding fastener elements on vertical and horizontal surfaces to which the holder is attachable.
