A sheet product dispenser for dispensing sheet product from a roll of sheet product is provided. An example sheet product dispenser includes a housing defining an interior space for receiving a first roll of sheet product (170a, 170b) therein, a mandrel (150a, 150b) positioned within the interior space, and a spindle (100) positioned over at least a portion of the mandrel and configured to support the first roll of sheet product for rotation about the mandrel The spindle comprises abase portion (102) and a nose portion (104) configured to translate relative to one another along a longitudinal axis of the mandrel (150a, 150b). At least a portion of the spindle is configured to translate relative to the mandrel from a first configuration to a second configuration to cause a remainder of the first roll of sheet product (170a, 170b) to deform and enable movement of a dispensing door (186) to enable access to a second roll of sheet product.

Exemplary embodiments of wipes dispensers are disclosed herein. An exemplary wipes dispenser includes a container, a plurality of wipes contained within the container, a fluid for wetting the plurality of wipes and a self-orientating outlet nozzle. The self-orientating outlet nozzle includes a moveable outlet opening. The moveable outlet opening aligns with the direction of pull of the wipe when the wipe is pulled out of the dispenser at an angle that is not substantially vertical.

A compressed hollow coreless roll of absorbent paper sheet produced by way of providing a roll of absorbent paper sheet by winding the sheet about a forming core member having a diameter in the range of 30 mm to 50 mm; removing the forming core member such that there is provided a hollow coreless roll of absorbent paper sheet with an axial cavity having a diameter in the range of 30 mm to 50 mm and compressing the hollow coreless roll such that, the axial cavity is substantially collapsed. The compressed hollow coreless rolls are readily re-formed into cylindrical shape. Space-saving packages of the rolls are overwrapped with tubular polymer film to provide a flexible reconfigurable package of a series of individually encased rolls. Volume reductions of about 10 to about 20%, about 14% to about 20%, 30%, 40% and more as compared with conventional products are realized.

A rolled paper product dispenser having a dispensing nozzle with inner and outer portions that cooperate to enable single sheet dispensing and resist sheet product falling back into the dispenser and out of reach of a user.

A coreless roll of absorbent tissue web is provided, the web having a length and a width, and the roll defining a central axial hole that extends from a first end of the roll to a second end of the roll in a direction perpendicular to the length of the absorbent tissue web. The coreless roll has a high density. The absorbent tissue web includes an outer perforated length located in the periphery of the coreless roll, the outer perforated length having a plurality of perforation lines across the width of the absorbent tissue web such as to form individual sheets. The absorbent tissue web of the coreless roll further includes an inner unperforated length of the absorbent tissue web.

A support spindle assembly for rotatably supporting a coreless paper roll for dispensing, the support spindle assembly including a spindle base, a spindle element having a central longitudinal axis (X) and having first and second ends, the spindle element being attached to the spindle base at the first end and rotationally fixed in relation to the spindle base and a rotatable sleeve rotatably disposed about the spindle element, and rotatable in relation to the spindle base and to the spindle element. The support spindle assembly includes a resilient member disposed about the first end of the spindle element, which resilient member is arranged to cooperate with the spindle base and with the rotatable sleeve in order to provide the rotatable sleeve with a rotational resistance.

A sheet product dispenser for dispensing sheet product from a roll of sheet product is provided. An example sheet product dispenser includes a housing defining an interior space for receiving a first roll of sheet product therein, a mandrel positioned within the interior space, and a spindle positioned over at least a portion of the mandrel and configured to support the first roll of sheet product for rotation about the mandrel. The spindle comprises a base portion and a nose portion configured to translate relative to one another along a longitudinal axis of the mandrel. At least a portion of the spindle is configured to translate relative to the mandrel from a first configuration to a second configuration to cause a remainder of the first roll of sheet product to deform and enable movement of a dispensing door to enable access to a second roll of sheet product.

A coreless paper roll manufacturing method includes: unrolling a wide tissue web from a parent roll; spraying adhesive on the wide tissue web; winding the wide tissue web on a winding mandrel to form a log roll; and cutting the log roll to form a plurality of paper rolls. The spraying includes depositing a first adhesive, having a bonding strength capable of solidifying the wide tissue web wound on the winding mandrel and separating a sheet of tissue from the solidified wide tissue web, on parts of the wide tissue web from which the wide tissue web starts to be wound, the parts including both ends of the wide tissue web in the width direction and positions at which the log roll is cut, and depositing a second adhesive having a lower bonding strength than the first adhesive on parts between the parts where the first adhesive is deposited.

A dispensing system has a dispenser for sections of a material web wound onto a roll. A support bar is provided, on each end, a bearing journal protruding out from the roll. At least one of the two bearing journals has a mating surface which is not designed as a rotational surface. The dispenser has a guide for each bearing journal that extends to a dispensing position. A counter surface for the mating surface is provided at the beginning of the guide for each bearing journal that has the mating surface. The insertion of the roller into the dispenser is only possible if the mating surface coincides with the counter surface, which extends to in the dispensing position. The roller is rotatably arranged about the central area of the supporting rod, which does not rotate in the dispensing position.

A dispenser assembly and method of providing a web material dispenser assembly that is configured to dispense towel and wipe web materials, whether continuous or interwoven, in a pull-through manner from a core of a roll of material. The dispenser assembly includes a housing having a base and a moveable cover. A roll guide is disposed in the housing and defines a portion of the dispense passage associated with extraction of material from the dispenser assembly. A restrictor plate is supported by the roll guide and is rotatable and axially translatable relative thereto. The restrictor plate defines a number of dispense openings that can be selectively aligned with the portion of the dispense passage defined by the roll guide such that the characteristics associated with the pull-through dispense activity of the dispenser assembly can be quickly and conveniently configured to achieve a desired dispense action.
