Dispenser Assembly For Selectively Dispensing Sheet Material
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.
Roll towel dispenser
A roll towel dispenser includes a frame configured to support a roll of paper towel. The roll towel dispenser also includes a main roller coupled to the frame whereby the main roller has an axis of rotation. The roll towel dispenser further includes a transfer member coupled to the main roller and extending away from the main roller. The transfer member is configured to move relative to the main roller during operation of the roll towel dispenser.
Dispenser with Drop Down Feature and Method
A dispenser is disclosed that facilitates loading of new rolls of material and the removal of empty cores. The dispenser includes a cradle roller spaced from a pair of abutment rollers. As a roll of material is dispensed, the diameter of the roll reduces causing the roll to drop from the cradle roller to a collection device. A transfer assembly pivots with the roll so that the sheet material continues to be dispensed from the dispenser without interruption. Once the roll of material drops to the collection device, a new roll of material can be loaded into the dispenser for automatic transfer to the new roll once the first roll of material has been completely depleted.
Roller assembly with compliant mechanisms
A roller assembly for a dispenser includes an elongated guide body and a pair of pressure roller supports. A plurality of compliant support arms couple the pair of pressure roller supports to the elongated guide body. A plurality of compliant support spring members are configured to couple a Rapper bar to the elongated guide body.
CAROUSEL TISSUE DISPENSER
A tissue dispenser comprising a housing and a carousel with a plurality of spindles is disclosed herein. Each spindle is designed to retain coreless tissue rolls and is rotatably held within the housing. The invention features a locking mechanism incorporated into each spindle, comprising a pivotable locking spoke. This spoke, when in a locking position, aligns with the spindle and interferes with the housing to prevent carousel rotation until the tissue roll is fully depleted. Upon depletion, the spoke automatically moves to a nonlocking position, allowing carousel rotation for roll replacement. The dispenser further includes a bracket at the outlet to prevent premature roll removal, reducing wastage. The design ensures efficient tissue dispensing while enhancing vandal resistance and reducing maintenance efforts.
Extendable toilet paper roll holder
The extendable toilet paper roll holder includes a toilet paper holder, a scissoring arm, and a mounting base. The toilet paper holder may be configured to hold a plurality of toilet paper rolls. Toilet paper may be dispensed from the plurality of toilet paper rolls while the plurality of toilet paper rolls are coupled to the toilet paper holder. The mounting base may be operable to mount the extendable toilet paper roll holder to a stable base. The scissoring arm may be operable to reposition the toilet paper holder closer to and farther away from the mounting base.
Dispensing assembly for paper products
A dispensing assembly is disclosed herein. The dispensing assembly includes a housing comprising a plurality of side panels that together define a compartment; a self-contained cartridge for dispensing a paper product, the self-contained cartridge being removably received in the compartment of the housing; and an actuation subassembly being disposed in the housing, the actuation subassembly configured to advance the paper product disposed in the self-contained cartridge.
