A paper tissue roll holder eliminates the use of a spindle. Two opposed arms with slidable back frames have support plugs or protrusions extending inwardly from ends of the arms, to engage in the ends of a tissue paper roll. The frames move laterally in opposition to one another in a slide track of a housing. In one preferred embodiment both slidable frames have gear racks which engage with a single rotatable gear positioned in the center of a back plate of the housing. Movement of either of the arms and frames causes opposite movement in unison by the other frame, by virtue of the mechanical linkage provided by the gear. This allows clearance for center loading of a tissue paper roll.

1. A paper tissue roll holder, comprising:a back plate,a pair of back frame members at opposed and overlapping positions alongside the back plate, the back frame members being generally coplanar with one another and in a plane generally parallel to the back plate, the two back frame members being mounted on the back plate for sliding movement toward and away from one another,each back frame member having an arm extending at approximately right angles from an outer end of the back frame member, out of said plane of the back frame members, and each arm having near an outer end of the arm a projection extending toward the other arm and capable of fitting into an end of a tissue roll so as to support the tissue roll between the arms, andmechanical linkage means comprising a rotatable gear mounted on the back plate, and each back frame member having a gear rack enmeshed with the rotatable gear, the two racks being at opposed sides of the rotatable gear, such that when one arm and rack are moved laterally, the other arm and rack are caused to move in unison in the opposite direction,whereby a paper tissue roll can be removed and replaced using only one hand to manipulate the tissue roll holder.
