A lockout system that is configured to limit use of a rolled web material dispenser assembly to dispense only authorized rolls of web material. The lockout system includes respective first and second mating registration elements that removeably cooperate with one another and provide a rotational cooperation therebetween when engaged with one another. One of the registration elements is associated with each authorized roll of web material and the mating registration element is associated with the rolled web material dispenser assembly. The first registration element defines an insert engaged with a bore of discrete authorized rolls of web material. The corresponding and mating second registration element defines a hub that is supported by the roll dispenser. Mating of the first and second registration elements provides a rotatable linkage that facilitates rotation of the roll relative to the dispenser assembly during the dispense activity.

A retaining system for a collection of absorbent articles such as tissues, wipes, towels, cloths, napkins, or similar materials or combinations thereof is described. The articles can be packaged or unpackaged, and held together with a coupling component. The retaining system also includes one or more accessory articles attached to the coupling component. The retaining system may also include an optional waste receptacle attached to the coupling component.

A storage and dispensing device for standard and industrial size toilet paper rolls has a mounting member, a base member, a roll storage member, and a mounting element. The mounting element is positioned on the mounting member, and utilizes an over-the-door hook or one or more apertures to hang the mounting member from a door or wall. The base member is connected to the bottom of the mounting member. The roll storage member is connected to the base member opposite the mounting member and is angled upwards to accept multiple rolls of toilet paper. An industrial sized toilet paper roll may be accommodated by the base member. The mounting member may be adjustable in length. An upper roll storage member may be connected to the mounting member opposite the base member for additional roll storage. A locking member between the roll storage member and the mounting member may prevent theft.

The present technology relates to apparatuses, systems, and methods for holding and dispensing a roll of material. The apparatus can comprise a supporting structure which can include an engaging member connected to a supporting member. The supporting member can comprise a connecting element. The engaging member can be configured to engage a household fixture. The connecting element can be configured to connect to a second connecting element of a second supporting structure such that the supporting members of the first and second supporting structure support a roll of material.
