  • the reel 1 may not include a support arm and support base.
  • the roll 3 of paper comprises a tube 35 comprising an axial recess 37 which extends over the entire length of the tube 35, on which is wound a plurality of sheets of paper 39 interconnected in a breakable manner.
  • the paper roll 3 is of the type hand towel roll, paper towel roll, toilet paper roll, etc.
  • the axial recess 37 of the tube 35 allows the assembly of the roll 3 of paper on the support stud 23 and on the keying device 29, by means of a keying end piece detailed in the remainder of the description.
