Magnetic paper towel holder

Abstract

A magnetic paper towel holder comprises a pair of plates, inner plate and outer plate. The outer plate has an apparatus to hold a roll of paper towel, such as a L-shaped rod. Both plates can be magnetic plates to attract each other or one plate can be a steel one and the other a magnetic one to allow the inner plate to hold the outer plate reversibly in place under a kitchen cabinet or on the side wall of a kitchen cabinet by magnetism without nails or screws or glue.

1 - 4 . (canceled) 
   
   
       5 . A magnetic paper towel holder comprising a magnetic inner plate, a magnetic outer plate and an apparatus for holding a paper towel roll to said outer plate whereby said outer plate can be attached by magnetic attraction to an underside or outside of a kitchen cabinet without nails, screws or adhesive. 
   
   
       6 . The magnetic paper towel holder of  claim 5  wherein said apparatus for holding a paper towel roll to said outer plate is a L-shaped rod and a cap to hold a paper towel roll. 
   
   
       7 . The magnetic paper towel holder of  claim 5  wherein said magnetic inner plate and said magnetic outer plate have the magnetic polarity arranged to attract each other. 
   
   
       8 . The magnetic paper towel holder of  claim 6  wherein the L-shaped rod has a first end attached to the outer plate, and a second free end, and wherein the outer plate is reversibly mountable to the kitchen cabinet to allow the orientation of the second free end to be varied. 
   
   
       9 . A magnetic paper towel holder comprising:
 a magnetic inner plate having a generally planar inner plate face with a first magnetic polarity;   a magnetic outer plate having a generally planar outer plate face with a second magnetic polarity opposite the first magnetic polarity; and   an L-shaped rod extending from the magnetic outer plate opposite the generally planar outer plate face, for holding a paper towel roll;   whereby the magnetic inner and outer plates can be aligned with one another on opposite sides of an intermediate structure with the inner plate face toward the outer plate face, for securing the magnetic paper towel holder to the intermediate structure by magnetic attraction between the magnetic inner and outer plates.   
   
   
       10 . A method of mounting a roll of paper towels to a structure, said method comprising:
 installing a magnetic Inner plate having a surface with a first magnetic polarity confronting a first side of the structure;   Installing a magnetic outer plate having a surface with a second and opposite magnetic polarity confronting a second side of the structure; and   mounting the roll of paper towels onto an L-shaped rod extending from the magnetic outer plate opposite the surface with the second and opposite magnetic polarity.
