1. A rolled material dispensing device comprising:
a base;
a telescoping rod comprising a telescoping structure including a first cylindrical member and a second cylindrical member slidably received therein;
a cavity formed in a proximal end of the second cylindrical member of the telescoping rod;
a cover having a top and a bottom surface and removably attached to the proximal end of the second cylindrical member of the telescoping rod;
a braking mechanism fixedly attached to the bottom surface of the cover;
wherein the braking mechanism extends into the cavity formed in the proximal end of the second cylindrical member of the telescoping rod when the cover is attached to the rod;
wherein the bottom surface of the cover includes a gripping component having a texturized surface comprising a rubberized polymer configured to engage an outer surface of the rolled material to further prevent rotation; and
wherein the telescoping rod further includes a passive locking mechanism comprising a ridge system configured to adjust the telescoping rod to a predetermined length.
