CLEANING TISSUE, AND ROLLER AND DISPENSER FOR CLEANING TISSUES
A dispenser for an unwindable cleaning cloth wound on a hollow cylindrical roll, in particular for a toilet paper roll, comprising a holder attached to a rear cover, whose outside diameter is smaller than the inside diameter of the roller, for accommodating the roll of the coiled cleaning cloth, wherein the holder is hollow cylindrical in shape and configured with an open end facing the rear cover, wherein inside the cavity of the holder one or more wet wipes can be stored, which can be removed and refilled through the open end.
Adapter element for a paper roll and relative dispenser with rotatable axis equipped with this adapter element
An adapter element configured for insertion inside the core of a paper roll to be applied to the support shaft of a dispenser includes an external annular wall adapted for insertion into the core of the paper roll with a predetermined degree of mechanical interference; an axial channel delimited by an annular wall arranged internally to the external annular wall; and first engaging elements configured for releasable engagement to second engaging elements belonging to the support shaft of the dispenser so that, in use, a portion of the end of the support shaft is insertable into the axial channel of the adapter element. A dispenser is also disclosed having the support shaft adaptable for engagement with the adapter element.
Modular dispenser system
A modular dispenser system is described that can enable users to carry and use items and liquids that can be used together in a convenient, cost effective, and portable manner. The system includes a body, a bottle that is removably secured to the body, and a cover removably engaged to the body. When the body, bottle, and cover are secured together, it may form a unitary object. In this way, a user can easily carry and store the system and its items and liquids simultaneously. The modular dispenser system provides versatility to a user by enabling the user to use the items and the liquids together or separately.
Convertible Dispenser
A system and method for dispensing toilet paper. The system includes a back plate coupled to a cover. An arm base is coupled to an arm, and the arm is coupled to a post. The arm base can rotate relative to the cover. By applying a force the arm rest can unseat and freely rotate. If the user starts with an over-the-top roll configuration the user can rotate the arm to present a behind-the-roll configuration without any need for tools or disassembly.
Carousel style dispenser
A dispenser assembly that includes a carousel tray and is operable to allow the user to selectively orient one of a plurality of respective discrete rolls of web material supported by the carousel tray proximate a dispense opening. An elongate user actuated lever arm is accessible from outside the dispenser housing and operable to allow the user to manually rotate the carousel tray relative to the housing to present each discrete roll of web material proximate the dispense opening for use. In preferred embodiments, the dispensing assembly includes one or more indexing and/or brake assemblies that are configured to inhibit inertial rotation of the carousel and/or to resist rotation of the carousel beyond a desired radial location absent user interaction with the lever arm.
PAPER DISPENSER AND METHOD OF USING SAME
A paper dispenser for dispensing paper provided on a roll may include a cylindrical housing having a compartment dimensioned to receive the roll and a slot provided between an inner and an outer surface of the cylindrical housing to dispense paper from the roll. End walls may be removably provided proximate to longitudinal ends of the cylindrical housing. The paper dispenser may also include a decorative layer and a layer of absorptive material for dispensing fragrance. Additionally or alternatively, the dispenser may employ a flexible rod that supports the paper roll in a position that is further away from a support structure than would be possible with a rigid rod, and may provide illumination functionality.
Bath Tissue Dispenser Roll Hub
The hub described herein is adapted for specialized use with relatively larger diameter tissue roll cores and large width rolls. The hub prevents the practical use of smaller tissue rolls having smaller core diameters and/or being a smaller width roll. The hub allows for custom matching a bath tissue roll with a particular hub for quality control purposes. The hub facilitates the installation of a predetermined uniform bath tissue to be mounted in a dispenser with the hub.
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.
FRICTIONAL FEATURES FOR ROLLED SHEET PRODUCT DISPENSERS
Improvements to frictional features in rolled sheet product dispensers are provided herein. An example sheet product dispenser for enabling dispensing from a roll of sheet product is provided. The dispenser includes a moveable support portion for storing and rotating the roll of sheet product relative to a base portion. A loaded roll of sheet product is configured to rotate about a spindle during dispensing of the sheet product therefrom. The dispenser further includes a frictional feature attached to a movable support brake feature at a pivot point radially spaced apart from the spindle. The frictional feature is positioned to pivot about the pivot point toward the movable support brake feature when the roll of sheet product is loaded on the spindle such that the frictional feature applies a decreasing friction force on a side surface of the roll as the sheet product depletes.
SUPPORT SPINDLE ASSEMBLY FOR A ROLL
A support spindle assembly for rotatably supporting a coreless paper roll for dispensing, the support spindle assembly including a spindle base, a spindle element having a central longitudinal axis (X) and having first and second ends, the spindle element being attached to the spindle base at the first end and rotationally fixed in relation to the spindle base and a rotatable sleeve rotatably disposed about the spindle element, and rotatable in relation to the spindle base and to the spindle element. The support spindle assembly includes a resilient member disposed about the first end of the spindle element, which resilient member is arranged to cooperate with the spindle base and with the rotatable sleeve in order to provide the rotatable sleeve with a rotational resistance.
