A web material dispenser includes a housing and a pivotable roll support assembly provided therein. A first mandrel is provided at a first attachment location of the roll support assembly to support a first roll of web material. A second mandrel is provided at a second location of the roll support assembly to support a second roll of web material. The web material dispenser permits one-handed operation to replace the rolls of web material and to change positions of the mandrels within the dispenser. The roll support assembly may have a linkage arm and/or a roll support arm. Positions of the first and second mandrels relative to the dispenser's opening can be switched by pivoting the linkage arm relative to the housing and by pivoting the roll support arm relative to the linkage arm. A method for switching positions of rolls in the web material dispenser is also provided.

A bushing for a web material roll including a body sized to be fitted into the web material roll; the bushing further including a wall extending across the central cavity of the web material roll when the bushing is in the central cavity of the web material roll and defining an opening for receiving a roll support therethrough, the opening being bordered by a roll support contacting surface, the bushing having one or more bearing surfaces for contacting the roll support and supporting the web material roll, the one or more bearing surfaces including at least the roll support contacting surface bordering the opening. A web material roll, a web material roll retention assembly and a method for placing a web material roll in a web material roll dispenser are also provided.

A device for manually or mechanically producing a tubular packaging material of a paper web is wound to form a roll, which forms an internal cavity, from which the paper web can be drawn to form packaging material. The device includes a receptacle for at least partially circumferentially encompassing the roll and an axial holder for holding an end face of the roll. The axial holder has a wall, in which a dispensing opening for dispensing the packaging material in an axial dispensing direction is formed. The wall has an inner guide contour, which tapers in a funnel-like manner in the axial dispensing direction from the receptacle to the dispensing opening. The wall is provided with at least one front axial recess at a front end of the axial holder in the axial dispensing direction.

A center feed roll dispensing apparatus including: a roll support that extends in a first direction from a first end to a second end; an end wall located in the first direction with respect to the first end of the roll support, the end wall comprising a dispensing aperture; and a roll stop located in the first direction with respect to the first end of the roll support and spaced from the end wall.

An automated product dispenser for dispensing a product from a supply of product is provided. The automated product dispenser includes a chassis assembly, a drive assembly, and an isolation member. The chassis assembly includes a chassis frame, and the drive assembly includes a motor, a drivetrain, and a drivetrain housing. The isolation member mounts the drive assembly to the chassis assembly such that the drive assembly is substantially spaced apart from the chassis frame. A related method of inhibiting vibration transmission in an automated product dispenser also is provided.

A printer includes: a holding member configured to hold a roll of paper; an elastic member configured to support the holding member so that the holding member is slidable in a vertical direction; a first detection unit configured to detect a position of the holding member; and a second detection unit that detects a near-end of the roll of paper based on a detection result by the first detection unit.

The disclosure relates to the field of vehicle hooks, and in particular to a vehicle hook capable of preventing reel disengagement and a vehicle, aiming at solving the problem of disengagement proneness of an existing rewinding reel from mounting notches of a hook base. To this end, the vehicle hook capable of preventing reel disengagement according to the disclosure comprises a mounting portion and a rewinding reel, wherein the mounting portion is configured to be connected to a vehicle and is provided with at least two mounting notches, the rewinding reel is rotatably arranged in the mounting notches and removably connected to the mounting portion, and at least one of the at least two mounting notches is a closable notch. With the above technical solution, the stability of rotation of the rewinding reel in the mounting notches of the mounting portion can be improved, and the rewinding reel can be prevented from disengagement from a mounting seat when being subjected to an impact load or rotating at a high speed.
