Dispenser and cleaning assembly
10898037 · 2021-01-26 ·

A cleaning assembly includes a handle assembly configured to grasp a moistened tissue. A drum is included within a dispensing unit to store the tissue. The dispensing unit selectively releases the tissue from the drum as an actuating assembly operates a lever between a first position and a second position. The drum is seated within the dispensing unit in communication with the actuating assembly in a manner such that the tissues are sealed and prevented from drying out. The seal is selectively broken to permit dispensing of the tissues. The cleaning assembly permits a user the ability to clean a potentially unclean surface without the need to physically contact any of the cleaning tissue, chemicals, or surface itself at any time. The user is separated from the potentially harmful surfaces and chemicals.

Sheet product level sensor calibration and indication systems and methods

A sheet product (e.g., napkin) dispenser may include an example calibration system and method for a product depletion curve for accurately determining a product level. An example sheet product dispenser includes a housing, a roll holder, a dispensing mechanism, a sensor, and a controller. The sensor is configured to emit a signal toward the product roll and receive a return signal. The controller is configured to receive a calibration product roll and operate the sensor to emit the signal and receive the return signal. The controller determines a brightness value of the return signal and determines a calibration value associated with the determined brightness value. The determined brightness value is within a range of brightness values associated with the calibration value. The controller adjusts a product depletion curve based on at least the determined calibration value and the determined brightness value. Additionally, example product level notification systems are provided herein.

20200383531 · 2020-12-10 ·

A fragrance releasing toilet paper assembly for freshening air in a bathroom includes a roll of toilet paper, which in turn comprises a tube and tissue paper. A reservoir is coupled to an inner surface of the tube. The reservoir comprises an aroma compound and is configured to release the aroma compound into the tissue paper so that the aroma compound is gradually emitted from the tissue paper on the tube, therein providing a base level of air freshening. The aroma compound is rapidly emitted from the tissue paper upon contact of the tissue paper with water, therein providing an increased level of air freshening. The tube is configured to be rotated on a rod of a toilet paper holder so that a rate of emission of the aroma compound from the reservoir is increased, which also increases the level of air freshening.
