A dispenser includes a dispenser body having an interior cavity, and an aperture that communicates with the interior cavity. The dispenser also includes a loading door and a lid. The lid engages a dispenser surface when in the closed position to thereby create a substantially gas impermeable seal. The dispenser further includes a mounting surface disposed within the interior cavity and proximal the aperture. The mounting surface includes a mounting interface that permits substantially gas impermeable mounting of a cartridge while permitting access to the cartridge from the exterior of the dispensing body through the aperture.

A dispenser assembly with a compartment for storing clean tissues and a compartment in the assembly for storing used tissues. A partition wall separates the compartments and can move to enlarge the space for the storage of used objects such as tissues. The dispenser assembly may be sized to fit within an automobile cup holder.

This towel dispenser (10) comprises a housing (12) partially closed by a faade (20) defining an opening (22). The dispenser (10) further comprises a holder (30) inserted in the housing (12), this holder (30) having a substantially planar base (32) and, protruding from the base (32), at least one wall (34, 36) substantially perpendicular to the base (32). The base (32) and the or each wall (34, 36) together defining a parallelepiped cavity (38), the cavity (38) emerging outside the holder (30) through a first window arranged in a first face (56) of the parallelepiped orthogonal to the base (32) and through a second window (62) arranged in a second face (58) of the parallelepiped opposite the base (32). The holder (30) can be positioned inside the housing (12) in a first position, in which the first window faces the opening (22), and in a second position, in which the second window (62) faces the opening (22).

A ligature-resistant folded-sheet paper towel dispenser includes a rear housing with a rear mounting plane surface for securing the ligature-resistant paper towel dispenser to a wall. A front cover is rotatably coupled and lockable to the rear housing, and a paper outlet formed by the front cover, the rear housing, or a combination of the front cover and the rear housing and fed by a paper path having a serpentine segment along which the paper towels are guided and that is defined by curved projections that contact the paper towels on alternating faces as the paper towels are dispensed. The paper path terminates in an outlet slot at the bottom of the towel dispenser to dispense paper towels from a stack of folded-sheet paper towels. The paper towel dispenser also includes a locking mechanism for securing the front cover to the rear housing.

The disclosure relates to a method for evaluating a status of a dispenser for dispensing a sheet product for wiping, said dispenser comprising sensor, such as a radar sensor; said sensor being configured to emit a sensor beam; the method comprising: Providing a sensor echo signal indicative of a distance from said sensor to one or more reflective surfaces at least partially reflecting said sensor beam, wherein one of said one or more reflective surfaces is said boundary surface, using said sensor; andDetermining a status of said dispenser using said sensor echo signal. The method further relates to a dispenser, to a control unit and to a computer program for performing the method.

A sheet product dispenser for dispensing sheet product from a roll of sheet product having a sealed tail is provided. The sheet product dispenser includes a roll interface configured to engage and at least partially support the roll of sheet product, the roll interface including a separating member configured to engage and unseal the sealed tail; a feed roller assembly configured to dispense sheet product from the roll of sheet product, the feed roller assembly including a feed roller configured to engage and at least partially support the roll of sheet product; and a controller operable to initiate driving of the feed roller and rotation of the roll of sheet product such that the sealed tail is unsealed by engaging the separating member. A related method of automatically loading a roll of sheet product having a sealed tail in a sheet product dispenser also is provided.

A separation unit for separating a web material along preformed lines of weakness. The separation unit has a width direction and includes a first roller having a rotational axis extending in the width direction and a web width extending in the width direction, and a second roller having a rotational axis extending parallel with the rotational axis of the first roller and a web width extending in the width direction. The second roller is positioned at a distance from the first roller. Each of the first and the second rollers is provided with a plurality of protrusion elements being spaced along the rotational axes and protruding perpendicular from the axes. Each of the protrusion elements has a maximum width in the width direction, a maximum radial extension from the rotational axes, an inner portion adjacent to the rotational axes, and an outer portion remote from the rotational axes.

A supplemental wipe dispenser apparatus is removably attachable to a spool mounted paper roll. The apparatus includes a housing having an interior that contains a plurality of separately usable wipes or sheets (dry or pre-moistened). A dispensing opening on the housing enables a user to remove wipes or sheets from the housing. Left and right support arms on the housing each include a lower end portion attached to the housing and an upper end portion having a specially configured hanger that at least partially surrounds an opening. The hanger includes a first circumferentially extending portion having an inner edge, an outer edge, and a first free end portion. The hanger includes a second circumferentially extending portion having an inner edge, an outer edge, and a second free end. A gap is located in between the first and second free end portions.

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.
