Spindle for rolled wrap

Abstract

A spindle for rotatably holding a rolled wrap includes a hollow tubular body having a threaded rod axially movably received therein. A front section of the tubular body is axially cut to form two symmetrical halves, on inner wall surfaces of which two push blocks are correspondingly provided to define two forward tapered recesses. The threaded rod may be screwed inward to move a tapered front end through the two forward tapered recesses of the push blocks and thereby flares the two halves of the front section of the tubular body for the same to tightly contact with and hold the rolled wrap in place, allowing a user to tensely stretch an outward pulled length of the rolled wrap to smoothly and firmly package an article.

1 . A spindle for rolled wrap, comprising: 
 a hollow tubular body, a front section of which is axially symmetrically cut at two diametrically opposite sides to form an upper and a lower half; said upper and said lower half being provided at predetermined positions on inner wall surfaces with two corresponding push blocks; each of said push blocks defining an axial open-side recess that tapers toward a front end of said hollow tubular body; and a rear section of said hollow tubular body being a hollow handle having a length of threaded portion provided at a predetermined position on an inner wall surface thereof; and    a threaded rod axially movably received in said hollow tubular body to mesh with said threaded portion of said hollow handle, and having a tapered front end and a diametrically expanded round grip formed at a rear end thereof;    whereby when a rolled wrap is mounted on said upper and said lower half at the front section of said tubular body with said threaded rod received in said hollow tubular body without being screwed to pass through said push blocks, said rolled wrap is allowed to freely rotate about said upper and said lower half of the front section of said tubular body and be outward pulled for packaging an article; and when said threaded rod is screwed inward to move through said push blocks, said upper and said lower half of said tubular body are flared to tightly contact with and hold said rolled wrap in place, allowing a user to tensely stretch an outward pulled length of said rolled wrap to smoothly and firmly package the article.    
   
   
       2 . The spindle for rolled wrap as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein said upper and said lower half at the front section of said hollow tubular body are provided at free ends with radially raised hooking ribs to prevent said rolled wrap from moving out of said spindle via a front end of said tubular body.
