A system for dispensing toilet paper and wipes in a bathroom includes a frame configured to be coupled to a wall of a bathroom via a fastener connection with the wall, a product arm configured to receive toilet paper and facilitate dispensing of the toilet paper, the product arm coupled to the frame, and an auxiliary dispenser configured to dispense wipes, the auxiliary dispenser coupled to the frame where the auxiliary dispenser is operable between an open position and a closed position, where the wipes can be loaded into a receiving bay when the auxiliary dispenser is in the open position, and where the wipes can be dispensed from the receiving bay by a user when the auxiliary dispenser is in the closed position.

A dual roll paper towel dispenser, a method of dispensing towel from a dual roll paper towel dispenser, and a method of servicing a dual roll paper towel dispenser are disclosed herein. The dual roll paper towel dispenser can be provided with a dispenser mechanism disposed in a dispenser housing. The dispenser mechanism can include a first drive roller for dispensing paper from an upper first roll of paper and a second drive roller for dispensing paper from a lower second roll of paper. The dispenser mechanism can further include a drive system including a motor for selectively operating the first drive roller and the second drive roller, wherein the drive system powers the motor in a first rotational direction to actuate the first drive roller and powers the motor in a second rotational direction opposite the first rotational direction to actuate the second drive roller.

A dual paper roll holder which is formed of a single formed body is disclosed. The body comprises two distal arms fixed together at a central connection point. Each distal arm has a flange extending outward from the distal arm. A toilet paper roll is placed over top of the distal end of the distal arm and rests on the flange. Below the flange the distal arms connect together at a center point. The body may further comprise a means for mounting the dual paper roll holder directly onto a wall. In one embodiment, each distal arm has a lateral member extending outwardly from the distal arm. The lateral member is cylindrical and is configured to mount into the holders utilized by a standard toilet paper roll holder.

The dispenser mechanism can further include a drive system including a motor for selectively operating the first drive roller and the second drive roller, wherein the drive system powers the motor in a first rotational direction to actuate the first drive roller and powers the motor in a second rotational direction opposite the first rotational direction to actuate the second drive roller.

Dispenser for dispensing web material from a roll, the dispenser including a housing and a spindle intended to rotatably support a roll of web material during dispensing. The spindle is movable between a loading position and a dispensing position. The dispenser further includes a deflecting member being movable between a protruding position protruding towards the spindle in dispensing position and a retracted position retracted into the housing away from the spindle in dispensing position. The deflecting member is connected to a blocking member moving in response to the movement of the deflecting member.

A retaining system for a collection of absorbent articles such as tissues, wipes, towels, cloths, napkins, or similar materials or combinations thereof is described. The articles can be packaged or unpackaged, and held together with a coupling component. The retaining system also includes one or more accessory articles attached to the coupling component. The retaining system may also include an optional waste receptacle attached to the coupling component.

Some example sheet product dispensers that accommodate one or more sheet product rolls are provided herein. An example sheet product dispenser includes a dispensing mechanism with a drive roller and nip roller. A motor is configured to rotate the drive roller to cause a portion of the sheet product to dispense from the sheet product dispenser. A controller is configured to determine a sheet length for dispensing and cause the motor to operate to cause sheet product to be dispensed from the sheet product dispenser. The controller is further configured to monitor an amount of rotation of the motor as the motor operates and cause, in an instance in which the amount of rotation of the motor corresponds to the determined sheet length, the motor to cease operation so as to cause the determined sheet length of sheet product to be dispensed from the 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.

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.
