In one example, a wipe dispensing system includes a housing that defines an internal wipe storage area, a lid connected to the housing, a fluid reservoir disposed within the housing, a pump in fluid communication with the fluid reservoir, a fluid discharge manifold in fluid communication with the pump and located proximate a wipe dispensing path. The lid is operably disposed with respect to the pump such that depression of the lid causes the pump to discharge fluid from the fluid discharge manifold, and also causes dispensation of a portion of a wipe from the housing, and a return of the lid from a depressed position to a ready position causes the pump to discharge fluid from the fluid discharge manifold, and also causes dispensation of portion of a wipe from the housing.

A dispensing assembly attachable to a fixed substrate is provided. The dispensing assembly may comprise: a housing comprising a first side panel, a second side panel, a top panel, and a back panel that together define a compartment; and a cartridge that may be removably received in the compartment of the housing. The cartridge may comprise a first side, a second side, a third side, a fourth side, a top, and a bottom. One or more portions of the cartridge may engage one or more structures formed on an inner surface of the compartment.

A mechanism is provided for manually actuating rotation of a roller of a sheet material dispenser for dispensing a predetermined length of sheet material. The mechanism includes a frame member; a driven member configured for coupling with the roller; an actuating member configured to rotate about a rotation axis in a first direction through manual actuation by a user; and a driver member coupled with the actuating member. The rotation axis is movably mounted on the frame member to be movable between a first position allowing rotation of the roller caused by rotation of the actuating member in the first direction, and a second position preventing rotation of the roller caused by rotation of the actuating member in the first direction. The mechanism includes a first urging member configured to urge the rotation axis in the first position. A related assembly and dispenser including the mechanism are also provided.

A sheet product dispenser for dispensing sheet product from a supply of sheet product reduces accumulation of the sheet product in the chute. The dispenser comprises a housing including a chute having a sheet product dispensing opening, a sheet product feed roller assembly disposed in the housing and configured to feed sheet product from the supply of sheet product into the chute, and a pusher disposed in the housing and configured to engage the sheet product fed from the sheet product feed roller assembly at a location downstream from the sheet product feed roller assembly and push the sheet product fed from the sheet product feed roller assembly toward the dispensing opening to reduce accumulation of the sheet product in the chute. A related method of reducing accumulation of the sheet product in the chute also is provided.

A sheet product dispenser is provided including a housing including a roll holder configured to receive a product roll, a dispensing mechanism configured to dispense a portion of the sheet product from the product roll, a sensor configured to emit a signal toward the product roll and receive a reflection of the signal from a surface of the product roll, and a controller. The controller is configured to receive an indication of replacement of the product roll, determine a time-of-flight of the signal, and determine an expected time-of-flight (or corresponding distance of travel) of a theoretical signal to a theoretical full product roll. The controller is further configured to compare the time-of-flight (or a corresponding distance of travel) of the signal to the product roll to the expected time-of-flight or distance, and adjust a product depletion curve based on the comparison.

In one example, a wipe dispensing system includes a housing that defines an internal wipe storage area, a lid rotatably connected to the housing, a fluid reservoir disposed within the housing, and a pump in fluid communication with the fluid reservoir. A fluid discharge manifold is in fluid communication with the pump and is arranged proximate to a portion of a wipe dispensing path. The lid is operably disposed with respect to the pump such that depression of the lid causes discharge of fluid from the pump through the fluid discharge manifold, and also causes partial dispensation of a wipe from the housing.

The paper dispensing device includes a main spindle, an axle, two end pieces, and a cutting member. The main spindle has a compartment. The axle is rotatably supported inside the compartment. The end pieces are positioned adjacent to the two ends of the axle, respectively. Each end piece has an eccentric opening through which an end of the axle is threaded. A ring groove is configured around the eccentric opening along an inner side of each end piece. The cutting member includes a blade, a cutter axle, two arms extended outward slantwise from the cutter axle's two ends, and two guiding elements at the arms' outer ends moveably housed in the ring grooves, respectively. As the main spindle spins, the cutting member rotates along with the main spindle and its blade is extended out or retracted into the compartment as the guiding elements move along the ring grooves.
