Dispenser
A sheet dispenser system having a roll of sheet material and a housing to receive the roll. The roll of sheet material comprises a first end portion incorporating a key, and the housing comprises a mounting portion arranged to support the first end portion of the roll and a support portion arranged to support a second end of the roll. The mounting portion comprises a tilting member pivotally coupled to the housing to define an operative position, in which the mounting portion and the support portion are aligned to support the roll in the housing, and a loading position, in which the mounting portion and the support portion are unaligned to inhibit support of the roll in the housing. The mounting portion comprises a block arrangement which is movable between a blocked condition, in which movement of the tilting member from the loading position to the operative position is inhibited, and an unblocked condition, in which movement of the tilting member from the loading position to the operative position is permitted. The mounting portion is arranged such that the roll is movable between an engaged condition, in which the key engages the mounting portion, and a disengaged condition, in which the key is disengaged from the mounting portion, such that, when the roll is moved from the disengaged to the engaged condition, the first end portion of the roll moves the block arrangement into the unblocked condition, thereby permitting movement of the tilting member from the loading position to the operative position.
DURABLE TRANSFER ROLL CORE AND METHOD OF MAKING AND USING THE SAME
A durable transfer roll core may comprise an elongate body comprising a groove, the elongate body having a longitudinal axis. The groove may comprise a Groove Angle from about 0 to about 90 degrees (relative to the longitudinal axis) and the groove may comprise a Groove Depth greater than about 0.003 inches.
Rolled web material dispenser material lockout systems
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.

NOVEL HOSE HOLDER
The present invention is directed to a hose holder that nests individual hose loops separately in grooves formed on (or forming) a sloped surface. The holder includes a series of arched grooves, each groove provided at a different position along the slope of the surface such that adjacent grooves are at different vertical heights when the holder is mounted for use. Grooves further from the mounting point are lower than those nearer. In general, each groove is wide enough to hold and guide a single loop of hose and is configured for easy deployment of the hose when the hose is pulled away from the hose holder.

In-line headphone cord holder
A headphone or other wire holder including an elongated central body and a pair of forked portions, one on each end of the central body. Each forked portion may include two tines. The central body may define a retention channel running along a length of the central body between the forked portion. The retention channel may be configured to receive and secure a length of a wire, such as a headphone cable.

WIRE REEL
A wire reel has a simplified wire joining structure in order to make manufacturing of the wire reel easy, which includes: a wire winding part having a wire wound surface on which a wire is wound by rotation, and first, second and third wire through holes formed in the wire wound surface to be spaced apart from one another at predetermined intervals so that the wire is inserted from the outside to the inside of a body; and a wire joining part having a wire joining groove formed in the body, a first direction joining area to which the wire is inserted from the outside to the inside of the body through the first wire through hole, a second direction joining area to which the wire is inserted from the inside to the outside of the body in the opposite direction to the first direction through the second wire through hole.
