A dispenser assembly facilitating selective dispensing of sheet material from a plurality of supplies of sheet material can be provided. The dispenser assembly can include a drive system to facilitate dispensing of the sheet material from the dispenser. The dispensing system can include a plurality of driven rollers each configured to move sheet material from a respective supply of sheet material, and a drive mechanism selectively driving driven rollers of the plurality of driven rollers and positioned between the driven rollers. The dispenser assembly includes an auto-assist paper dispensing system configured to allow a user to electronically activate a minimum quantity of paper to be supplied and allow for the user to supplement the quantity of paper being supplied.

A paper toweling dispenser apparatus including damping structure for taking up over-spin slack, including a pivoting paper guide pivotally connected to a fixed paper guide by springs which operate in sequential stages during paper toweling dispensing.

A roll paper holder includes: a blade member having a blade provided at an end of a base, a press projection provided at the other end of the base, and a convex portion provided on an upper surface of the base; a blade-member-storing case pivotally supporting the convex portion of the blade member; and a holder body to which a roll paper is attachable, in which the blade-member-storing case is mounted on an upper surface of the holder body with a base end pivotally supported by the holder body, and the blade-member-storing case has a cutout in a side thereof, the cutout being curved from a front end of the side to a lower portion of the side close to the base end of the blade-member-storing case.

A rolled product dispenser for dispensing a web of rolled product is described. The rolled product dispenser comprises a dispensing assembly, a return mechanism, and a blocking mechanism. The dispensing assembly includes a rotating drum assembly having a peripheral wall configured to be contoured at least partially by the web of rolled product. The rotating drum assembly is rotatable in a dispensing rotation direction and a counter dispensing rotation direction along at least 90 degrees. The return mechanism biases the rotating drum towards a stationary configuration by rotating same in the counter dispensing rotation direction. The blocking mechanism is engageable with the rotating drum assembly to prevent rotation thereof in the counter dispensing rotation direction beyond at least one predetermined angular position.

A dispenser assembly facilitating selective manual dispensing of sheet material from a plurality of supplies of sheet material can be provided. The dispenser assembly can be configured with a side-by-side arrangement of supplies of sheet material and can include a manual drive system to facilitate dispensing of the sheet material from the dispenser. The dispensing system can include a plurality of driven rollers each configured to move sheet material from a respective supply of sheet material, and a manual drive mechanism selectively driving driven rollers of the plurality of driven rollers.

A novel rolled material dispensing device is presented. The novel paper towel holder is for use on a flat surface and is generally comprised of a base, a solid rod attached to the base, a removeable cover attached to the proximal end of the rod, and a braking mechanism fixedly attached to the cover or rod. Depressing the cover engages braking mechanism and moves the cover to be in contact with the rolled material thus stopping movement of the rolled material and allowing the user to remove a user determined amount of the rolled material while keeping the remaining material dry and uncontaminated.
