Abstract
A core includes a tubular body for supporting a wound sheet roll on a spindle. The body includes an annular outer surface for receiving the sheet roll, and an annular inner surface defining a bore for receiving the spindle. A plurality of ribs project inwardly from the body inner surface and extend axially between opposite first and second openings for nesting in the corresponding slots in the spindle. At least one of the ribs includes a bowed side surface in the exemplary form of a fork for frictionally engaging a corresponding one of the spindle slots to frictionally retain the core axially thereon.
