DISPENSER
A dispenser for dispensing at least one perforated web from a storage of web material, the dispenser including: a housing arranged to hold a storage of perforated web material, wherein a web path extends along a feeding direction in an interior of the housing from a storage position to a dispensing opening of the dispenser, and a separation arrangement being arranged along said web path, for separating the at least one perforated web along the perforations thereof, said separation arrangement including a first unit and a second unit, the second unit being arranged downstream said first unit, as seen in the feeding direction of the web path. The first unit is arranged to provide a tensioning force on said web, and the second unit being arranged to stretch the web material along the length of the web and along the width of the web.
Automated product dispensers and related methods for isolating a drive assembly to inhibit vibration transmission
An automated product dispenser for dispensing a product from a supply of product is provided. The automated product dispenser includes a chassis assembly, a drive assembly, and an isolation member. The chassis assembly includes a chassis frame, and the drive assembly includes a motor, a drivetrain, and a drivetrain housing. The isolation member mounts the drive assembly to the chassis assembly such that the drive assembly is substantially spaced apart from the chassis frame. A related method of inhibiting vibration transmission in an automated product dispenser also is provided.

Roller cover toilet system and method
The roller cover toilet system provides users with a portable roll-on cover for public toilets designed to keep the seat surface sanitary while sitting. The device features a dustpan-like carrying system designed to house the roll of covers. It allows users to simply roller the cover over the seat and apply it via a light adhesive, ensuring the cover remains stable as the user sits. The device prevents germs and bacteria from being contracted, ensuring the user stays clean even while using a public toilet. The device eliminates the need to use flimsy paper covers commonly found in public restrooms.

Circular Perforated Paper Towels
This present patent application discloses a generally circular or oval shaped paper towel having a plurality of generally circular or oval shaped perforations thereon. The paper towels are capable of being placed on a plate for warming food in a microwave to prevent food splashes from contaminating an interior of the microwave. More specifically, the improved paper towels of the present invention comprise a series of perforations which allows a user to simply tear the circular or oval shaped paper towel in a circular configuration of varying diameters or an oval configuration of varying dimensions, thereby allowing users to customize the size of the circle or oval created from the perforation to accommodate different sizes of plates, dishes, saucers and the like. The paper towels may also be manufactured in a rollable or stackable web as desired.

SEPARATION UNIT AND A DISPENSER COMPRISING A SEPARATION UNIT
A separation unit is provided for separating a web material having a web width along preformed lines of weakness. The separation unit includes at least a first shaft extending along a first longitudinal axis and at least a second shaft extending along a second longitudinal axis in parallel with the first shaft. The separation unit also includes at least one first protrusion element extending perpendicularly from the first shaft and being arranged to be rotatable about the first longitudinal axis, and at least one second protrusion element extending perpendicularly from the second shaft and being arranged to be rotatable about the second longitudinal axis. The separation unit further includes at least one contact element being arranged in biased abutment against at least one of the first and second protrusion elements in a direction perpendicular to the first or second longitudinal axis.
