Systems, methods, and apparatuses for dispensing sheets of material are provided. In one embodiment, a sheet material dispensing apparatus is provided, the apparatus comprising: a cover; a rear wall connected to the cover; a mounting plate operatively connected to the cover; a shaft, wherein the shaft is connected to the mounting plate; a supply roller connected to the shaft, wherein the supply roller has a radiused portion and at least one truncated portion; and a retracting roller connected to the shaft, wherein the retracting roller has a radiused portion, and at least one truncated portion.

A system and control method are provided for authenticating a paper product dispensed from a dispenser. The paper product formation is loaded into the dispenser, the formation having an identification mark engraved into a surface thereof. Within the dispenser, incident light is directed onto the surface and a digital image of the surface is captured. The engraved identification mark produces a recognizable authentication signature in the digital image as compared to surrounding surface of the paper product formation. The captured digital image is analyzed for presence of the authentication signature, and if the authentication signature is not present, the paper product formation is deemed unauthorized and a responsive action is initiated.

A dispenser for dispensing sheets of web material is provided. The dispenser includes a dispenser housing and storage compartment for receiving a stack of sheets of web material. The housing has a front side, a rear side, upper and lower end portions, and two vertical sides connecting the front and rear sides, the lower end portion forming a dispensing end portion of the dispenser. The storage compartment includes a support arrangement for supporting the stack of sheets of web material at the dispensing end portion of the dispenser. The support arrangement a dispensing opening is arranged in a portion between the front, rear and side portions and an abutment surface to which the stack of sheets of web material can abut.

A wet wipe dispensing cap, container and kit having a container body such as a thermoplastic pouch, containing a plurality of wet wipe and closed with a rigid dispensing cap having a flat base with an outer perimeter, an inner perimeter, an upstanding outer wall and an optional inner wall forming a weir around a passageway through the base, and having a top wall aperture dimensioned tor keeping a wet wipe roll inside the container body and cap, and where the passageway is adapted for and dimensioned for manual frictional dispensing of a wet wipe sheet, preferably with an inner wall, base, and outer wall forming a liquid reservoir; with the cap fastened to a container body opening: whereby the container is adapted to dispense wipes from the container body through the cap aperture by pulling a wipe downward with detachment by angular movement.

The present disclosure provides an apparatus for dispensing an earring post wipe. The apparatus has a container that includes a reservoir with a cleaning or sanitizing fluid.

A sheet product dispenser for dispensing sheet product from a supply of sheet product reduces accumulation of the sheet product in the chute. The dispenser comprises a housing including a chute having a sheet product dispensing opening, a sheet product feed roller assembly disposed in the housing and configured to feed sheet product from the supply of sheet product into the chute, and a pusher disposed in the housing and configured to engage the sheet product fed from the sheet product feed roller assembly at a location downstream from the sheet product feed roller assembly and push the sheet product fed from the sheet product feed roller assembly toward the dispensing opening to reduce accumulation of the sheet product in the chute. A related method of reducing accumulation of the sheet product in the chute also is provided.

In example, a sheet material dispenser can include a feed roller configured to engage and move the sheet material along a discharge path for dispensing thereof, and a manual dispensing assembly in communication with the feed roller. The manual dispensing assembly can include an engagement portion operatively coupled to the feed roller body for engagement by a user to rotate the feed roller to facilitate dispensing of the sheet material, and an integrated gear clutch configured to control movement of the engagement portion or the feed roller. Other examples also are described.

A dispenser including a rear housing member and a front housing member that are connected by way of a first hinge so that the front housing member is openable relative to the rear housing member in order to fill a space defined by the front housing member and the rear housing member with at least one stack of sheet products. The front housing member and the rear housing member also include components for forming a second hinge. The first hinge allows the front housing member to open from a first side of the rear housing member in a first rotational direction, and the second hinge, when formed, allows the front housing member to rotate in an opposite direction from an opposite side of the rear housing member.
