20150344217 | RollaRod - The RolaRod invention is a device that helps restrain the inner spool that contains wrap products such as aluminum foil, wax paper, parchment paper and plastic wrap, by keeping it securely inside the container box when in use. Often when taking the product off of the inner spool, the spool containing the product will lift out of the container causing uneven and messy extraction. The RollaRod device fits onto the original wrap container box. The wrap container is usually an elongated rectangular, four-sided, cardboard box with small push-in, end tabs designed into the container ends. These end tabs depress inward to the inside of the hollow spool in an effort to help keep the spool securely inside the container. But, after repeated use, the cardboard end tabs may become weak and allow the inner spool to excessively move around when extracting the wrap product. To prevent excessive movement of the inner spool, the RollaRod is a dowel that is inserted into one of the push in tabs and extends to the other end of the box through the middle of the hollow spool, where a screw-in end cap is added to the dowel. Once fully in place, the RollaRod is secured to the outer container box and locked in place, which tightly secures the inner spool while still allowing for full rotation and easy extraction of the wrap product. | 2015-12-03 |
