The hub described herein is adapted for specialized use with relatively larger diameter tissue roll cores and large width rolls. The hub prevents the practical use of smaller tissue rolls having smaller core diameters and/or being a smaller width roll. The hub allows for custom matching a bath tissue roll with a particular hub for quality control purposes. The hub facilitates the installation of a predetermined uniform bath tissue to be mounted in a dispenser with the hub.

A tissue holder includes a mounting bracket, a tube axle, a hanging rod, a cover plate, and a clamping driving mechanism. The tube axle is connected with the mounting bracket. The hanging rod is connected with the tube axle. The cover plate is pivotally mounted on the tube axle. The clamping driving mechanism is arranged between the tube axle and the cover plate. The clamping driving mechanism is configured to drive the cover plate to move toward a side of the hanging rod to clamp roll paper hung on the hanging rod.

The present invention relates to a rotatable toilet paper holder device primarily comprised of at least two side walls, a bottom wall, a base and a toilet paper roll holder. The toilet paper roll holder is spring-loaded, such that a toilet paper roll can be secured between the side walls of the device. The side walls and bottom wall further attach to the base via at least one fastener that allows the side walls and bottom wall to rotate around the base. Therefore, a toilet paper roll that is secured between the side walls via the toilet paper roll holder can be easily rotated relative to the base, such that the toilet paper within the device can be positioned so that toilet paper can be pulled from over top or from under the toilet paper roll.

Embodiments provide for a consolidated towel holder or rack. An example consolidated towel holder includes a base, a first support member extending upward from the base, a second support member extending upward from the base and configured for supporting a paper towel roll, a cap in slidable contact with the first support member via an extension member such that the cap gravitationally rests atop the paper towel roll, and a third support member extending perpendicularly from the first support member and configured for supporting a fabric towel or cleaning apparatus.

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.

A dispenser is provided for dispensing a hygiene product. The dispenser includes a time-of-flight sensor for measuring a position of an object relative to the dispenser; and a controller configured to selectively operate at least one function of the dispenser based on the measured position of the object relative to the dispenser. A method of operating at least one function of a dispenser for dispensing a hygiene product is also provided. The method includes measuring with a time-of-flight sensor a position of an object relative to the dispenser; and using a controller to selectively operate the at least one function of the dispenser based on the measured position of the object relative to the dispenser.

A spindle stabilizer assembly for use in connection with a rolled material dispenser that dispenses a rolled material. The spindle stabilizer assembly includes a spindle having a larger diameter part and a smaller diameter part, where the smaller diameter part is partially inserted into the larger diameter part and is slidable relative thereto against the bias of a spring. Strips of tape are axially formed to the larger diameter part and the larger diameter part is slid into a stabilizing tube, where the tape frictionally slows the rotation between the spindle and the tube. A friction engagement is provided between an outer diameter of the tube and the rolled material that allows the rolled material to rotate relative to the tube under a reasonable force so that the rolled material can be easily torn off the roll.
