Abstract
A toilet paper holder that utilizes two appendages between the two supporting arms in lieu of the rods or bars. The appendages are positioned in the front portions of the supporting arms and face each other creating a void area between them The appendages rotate upward approximately 90 degrees, held in tension by a coil spring, as a roll of toilet paper is placed beneath and between the tip ends of the appendages and moved upward. To remove or replace, the roll of paper is moved upward as the appendages snap back to their horizontal positions.

two supporting arms which are secured to a wall by means of brackets and screws at the back portion and two appendages which are located in the front portion of the supporting arms and which are encased in housings positioned and fused within the hollow supporting arms and rotate approximately 90 degrees upward while held in tension by means of coil springs that are rolled over shafts and which pierce the appendages from points outside the housings.
2 . The toilet paper holder according to claim 1 , wherein two supporting arms and two appendages which are encased in their housing and fused within the hollow front portions of the supporting arms and which are held in tension by a coil spring positioned over a shaft located within the appendages, rotate upward approximately 90 degrees as a roll of toilet paper is moved upward beneath and between the two appendages until it is supported by the tip ends of the appendages which have snapped back to their original horizontal positions.
3 . The toilet paper holder according to claim 2 , wherein the two appendages located in the front portions of the supporting arms which face each other do not touch each other nor extend the length of the distance between to the supporting arms.
