TOILET PAPER ROLL HOLDER ATTACHMENT SYSTEM
A toilet paper roll holder attachment system is disclosed for supporting the holding of at least two toilet paper rolls in either horizontal or vertical configuration, or for supporting the holding of large or jumbo toilet paper rolls. The toilet paper roll holder attachment systems have a hollow cylindrical body with two substantially round apertures which are adapted for holding a pre-existing toilet paper roll spindle. A vertical support arm or support bracket can extend perpendicularly downward from the hollow cylindrical body. At the lower end of the vertical support arm or support bracket can be a horizontal rod for holding the toilet paper rolls. There can be one or more stoppers at one or more ends of the horizontal rod for the purpose of preventing a toilet paper roll from sliding out of the horizontal rod.
MULTI-PURPOSE STORAGE AND DISPENSING APPARATUS
A dispensing device for single-use articles is provided. In certain embodiments, the dispensing device comprises a wall-mounted unit or fixture that is capable of holding at least different articles and providing those articles to a user. Packaging devices for use and cooperation with the dispensing device are further provided, and various systems for storing and dispensing articles are provided.
Sheet product dispenser
Some example product dispensers that accommodate two full paper towel rolls are provided herein. The product dispenser may employ separate dispensing mechanisms for each product roll and may include roll holders that articulate out from the housing to facilitate easy loading and access to replacement and loading of the other product roll. A roll partition may be utilized to separate the web paths of the two product rolls and enable rotation of front roll holders. Example funnel covers and nip covers can aid with intuitive installation. Example roll holders with retention mechanisms help prevent unintentional dropping of the installed product roll. Other beneficial features include utilizing motor operation sensing to dispense a desired sheet length, automatic/assisted loading into the dispensing mechanism, automatic switching between dispensing of product rolls, and always dispensing from the smaller product roll first. Many other features/structures of example product dispensers are also described herein.
HYGIENE PRODUCT DISPENSER WITH A PLURALITY OF PRODUCTS
A dispenser for containing a plurality of products, the dispenser comprising at least one adapter and at least one inner compartment. The adapter is configured to securely hold at least one first product, with the at least one first product being holdable directly to the adapter. The at least one inner compartment is configured to contain at least one second product, the inner compartment at least partially within a lumen of said adapter. The at least one adapter and the inner compartment being unitary or separable.
ROLL TOWEL DISPENSER
A roll towel dispenser includes a frame configured to support a first roll of first paper towel and a second roll of second paper towel and a main roller coupled to the frame. During operation, the first paper towel and the second paper towel are positioned adjacent the main roller such that the first paper towel is positioned between the second paper towel and the main roller. The main roller is configured to engage the first paper towel such that rotation of the main roller moves the first paper towel from the first roll, at least partially around the main roller, and through an outlet of the roll towel dispenser. The first paper towel slips relative to the second paper towel while the main roller moves the first paper towel such that only the first paper towel is dispensed through the outlet.
SHEET PRODUCT DISPENSER WITH PRODUCT LEVEL GAUGE SYSTEM
An example sheet product dispenser includes a housing, a first roll holder, and a second roll holder. A first roll of sheet product is positioned on the first roll holder and assigned as a primary roll and a second roll of sheet product is positioned on the second roll holder and assigned as a secondary roll. A dispensing mechanism is configured to dispense sheet product from at least one of the first roll and the second roll. A sensor is configured to sense measurement data associated with the primary roll, including sensing when the primary roll rotates to dispense and measuring the diameter of the primary roll. A data communication device is in communication with the sensor and configured to transmit the measurement data. A controller is configured to determine situational information regarding the sheet product dispenser and provide corresponding alerts to users regarding the situational information and measured data.
Dispenser for Dispensing Sheet Materials
A dispenser is disclosed for holding and dispensing a package containing a wiping product, such as flushable premoistened wipes. The dispenser can be made from a single piece blank. The dispenser can include arms for engaging a rolled bathroom tissue fixture and can include an open end for receiving a package of wiping products and mating with the package in a way that facilitates dispensing of the product.
Paper product dispenser
A paper product dispenser that includes a toilet paper spindle adapted to hold and dispense a toilet paper roll, at least one motor connected to the toilet paper spindle, a controller connected to the motor, and a thermopile sensor in communication with the controller, the thermopile sensor comprising a plurality of thermocouples that form a junction A and a junction B, wherein when the thermocouples sense thermal radiation, thermal gradient between junction A and junction B is created, the thermal gradient generating an electrical signal that the thermopile sensor sends to the controller.
Sheet product dispenser with product level gauge system
An example sheet product dispenser includes a housing, a first roll holder, and a second roll holder. A first roll of sheet product is positioned on the first roll holder and assigned as a primary roll and a second roll of sheet product is positioned on the second roll holder and assigned as a secondary roll. A dispensing mechanism is configured to dispense sheet product from at least one of the first roll and the second roll. A sensor is configured to sense measurement data associated with the primary roll, including sensing when the primary roll rotates to dispense and measuring the diameter of the primary roll. A data communication device is in communication with the sensor and configured to transmit the measurement data. A controller is configured to determine situational information regarding the sheet product dispenser and provide corresponding alerts to users regarding the situational information and measured data.
Toilet Paper Dispensing Device, and Replenishment Method Thereof
A toilet paper dispenser has a toilet roll container defining a chamber sufficient to enclose a first toilet paper roll and a second toilet paper roll positioning the first and second paper rolls in an end to end orientation. The container has a longitudinal opening to allow dispensing of toilet paper sheets from the toilet paper rolls. A central divider within the container divides the container into two spaces for accommodating two toilet paper rolls. Each space containing toilet paper rolls includes a positioning insert centered on and located on opposite sides of the central divider that extend within the length of the container. The positioning inserts stabilize the toilet paper rolls within the container. A retaining member at each end of the container secures the toilet paper rolls within the container. A support fixes the container to a wall structure may allow rotation of the container around the center point of the container's longitudinal axis.
