         12 . The system of  claim 11 , wherein the inner assembly includes an outer sheath rotatable relative to the first end cap and the second end cap. 
     
     
         13 . The system of  claim 11 , wherein the inner assembly includes a center rod configured to receive the rolled product. 
     
     
         14 . The system of  claim 11 , wherein the center rod includes a first portion and a second portion, the second portion slidable relative to the first portion along the direction of the major axis of the inner assembly. 
     
     
         15 . The system of  claim 11  further comprising:
 a spring forcing the second portion of the center rod away from the first portion of the center rod. 
 
     
     
         16 . A rolled product dispenser, the rolled product dispenser comprising:
 an inner assembly:
 configured to support a rolled product; and 
 having a left end and a right end, the inner assembly having a major axis in length longer than the product to be dispensed; 
 including:
 a center rod configured to receive the rolled product, wherein the center rod includes:
 a first portion and a second portion, the second portion slidable relative to the first portion along the direction of the major axis of the inner assembly;
