Spring-loaded toilet paper dispenser
A spring-loaded toilet paper dispenser for compact and aesthetic holding and dispensing of multiple rolls of toilet paper. The spring-loaded toilet paper dispenser generally includes an elongated housing to store rolls of toilet paper in a generally vertical stack until ready for use. The dispenser also includes a roller bar to hold an active roll of toilet paper, allowing for paper to be unrolled. When the active roll is empty, the roller bar slides into the topmost, next roll in the stack and then rotates to move the on-deck roll into the active position.
DISPENSER FOR DISPENSING A PAPER ROLL
A dispenser includes: a housing having a support axis for accommodating and rotatably supporting the paper roll, a brake shoe having a contact surface configured to abut at a face side of the paper roll and movably attached relative to the housing for adjustment of a braking force, and an elastic member urging the brake shoe in a direction toward the face side of the paper roll and having an adjustable elastic force that adjusts the braking force. The contact surface may have at least a first contact area closer to a tip of the support axis in an axial direction of the support axis and further away from the support axis in a radial direction and a second contact area further away from the tip of the support axis in the axial direction and closer to the support axis in the radial direction to provide a braking force decreasing with a decreasing diameter of the roll.
DISPENSER FOR ROLLS
Dispenser includes housing for at least two rolls of tissue paper, access opening in housing, and closure selectively closing a portion of access opening. Closure includes body, first wall movably connected to body at first edge of first wall; and second wall movably connected to body at first edge of second wall. First and second wall are urged toward each other to respectively position second edges of first and second walls opposite to first edges in a blocking position in which sliding of closure into first or second position is blocked until a predetermined amount of paper of second or first roll, respectively, has been dispensed. Closure includes first and second spring urging first and second walls, respectively, toward each other, spring force of first and second springs being configured to automatically return closure into first or second position, respectively, when sliding of the closure into first or second position, respectively, is blocked.
SHELF SYSTEM
A shelf system has a shelf component and a support frame component configured to removably support the shelf component in a cantilever fashion in an assembled state of the shelf system. The shelf component has a top surface, a bottom surface, a front end, a rear end, opposite sides between the front and rear ends, and a longitudinal groove formed in the bottom surface between the opposite sides. The support frame component is formed of a base panel having a front side, a rear side, a top end, a bottom end and opposite lateral sides between the top and bottom ends. A pair of support members extend from the front side of the support frame component for supporting a cross member. The longitudinal groove of the shelf component is configured to engage the cross member of the support frame component in the assembled state of the shelf system.
MULTI-FUNCTION PAPER TOWEL HOLDER
A multi-function paper towel assembly has a frictional component to control paper towel rolling, and a removable spray bottle container that is positioned inverted, and inside the vertical shaft that holds the paper towel. An accompanying funnel may be attachable to the assembly.
Dispenser assembly and related methods
A paper product dispenser assembly has a hood that includes a hood coupling component, as well as a first rear housing member that is configured for selective coupling with the hood. The first rear housing member has a first coupling component that cooperates with the hood coupling component for releasably coupling the hood and the first rear housing member to one another. The first rear housing member and the hood jointly define a first housing that is adapted to hold a roll of paper product therein. A second rear housing member of the assembly is configured for selective coupling with the hood in place of the first rear housing member. The second rear housing member has a second coupling component that cooperates with the hood coupling component for releasably coupling the hood and the second rear housing member to one another.
Dual paper roll holder
A dual paper roll holder which is formed of a single formed body is disclosed. The body comprises two distal arms fixed together at a central connection point. Each distal arm has a flange extending outward from the distal arm. A toilet paper roll is placed over top of the distal end of the distal arm and rests on the flange. Below the flange the distal arms connect together at a center point. The body may further comprise a means for mounting the dual paper roll holder directly onto a wall. In one embodiment, each distal arm has a lateral member extending outwardly from the distal arm. The lateral member is cylindrical and is configured to mount into the holders utilized by a standard toilet paper roll holder.
Toilet Paper Roll Spindle
A toilet paper roll spindle is disclosed for supporting the holding of at least two toilet paper rolls in either horizontal or vertical configuration or for supporting the holding of large or jumbo toilet paper rolls. The toilet paper roll spindle has a vertical support arm or support bracket extending perpendicularly downward from the middle section of the spindle. At the lower end of the vertical support arm or support bracket is a horizontal shaft for holding the toilet paper rolls. There is(are) stopper(s) at the end(s) of the horizontal shaft for the purpose of preventing the toilet paper rolls from sliding out of the horizontal shaft.
PREMATURE REPLACEMENT PREVENTION OR DETERRENCE FOR MULTIPLE ROLL SHEET PRODUCT DISPENSERS
Improvements to sheet product dispensers configured to hold multiple product rolls are provided herein. An example sheet product dispenser comprises a housing defining a dispensing position and a reserve position. The housing is configured to hold a first roll of sheet product in the dispensing position and a second roll of sheet product in the reserve position, where a user can receive a portion of the first roll of sheet product that is in the dispensing position. The sheet product dispenser includes a roll replacement feature that is configured to enable installation of a replacement roll of sheet product into the reserve position. The sheet product dispenser includes a restrictive access feature configured to prevent installation of the replacement roll of sheet product directly into the dispensing position in an instance in which the roll replacement feature enables installation of the replacement roll of sheet product in the reserve position.
Magnetic Resistance for Rolled Material Dispensers
The present invention provides a holder and dispenser of rolled products such as paper, plastic, foil, tape and other goods with magnetic resistance. The dispenser generally includes a base and a cage that supports the roll of material and rotates relative to the base. A magnetic resistance mechanism is generally located between the base and the cage. The magnetic resistance mechanism creates forces that act to resist rotation of the cage relative to the base.
