A sheet conveyance device includes a conveyance roller to convey a sheet, an ejection roller to eject the sheet from the sheet conveyance device, a conveyance relay roller disposed between the conveyance roller and the ejection roller, a driven roller disposed in contact with the conveyance relay roller to form a nip, and an openable portion to open and close relative to a housing of the sheet conveyance device. A pivotable roller holder to pivot relative to openable portion is attached to the openable portion. The pivotable roller holder holds the conveyance relay roller and the driven roller to maintain a nip pressure between the conveyance relay roller and the driven roller when the openable portion is opened.

A rolled sheet dispenser assembly for dispensing a cutting a selected length of a rolled sheet includes a housing that has a plurality of mounting holes integrated for mounting to a horizontal support surface. The housing has a dispensing slot extending into an interior of the housing to facilitate a rolled sheet positioned in the housing to be drawn outwardly through the dispensing slot. A pair of holders is each of the holders is coupled to the housing to engage a respective end of the rolled sheet. A base is removably attachable to the housing and a cutter is slidably coupled to the base. The cutter is slidable laterally along the base to cut the length of rolled sheet that has been drawn outwardly from the housing.

A web material dispenser for housing two or more rolls is provided. The web material dispenser includes a housing having a fixed housing portion provided with a first roll support assembly coupled thereto for supporting a first roll of web material. The housing further has a movable housing portion, movable between a closed position and an open position, provided with a second roll support assembly coupled thereto for supporting a second roll of web material. The fixed and movable housing portions defining a housing chamber therebetween when the movable portion is in the closed position, for at least partially enclosing the two or more rolls of web material within the housing chamber. The movable portion is moved to the open position for providing access to the two or more rolls and allowing replacement of at least one of the first and second rolls.

A tape dispenser, including: a main body, including a base and a reel member, the reel member being connected to the base and movable between a plurality of positions relative to the base; an installation portion, connected to the main body, configured for installation of a tape; and a control portion, mounted to the base; wherein the control portion operates to allow movement of the reel member so that the reel member is switched to and restricted to be in one of the plurality of positions.

Roll-dispensed stock containers are provided. The roll-dispensed stock containers can include a recessed cutting track positioned along a length of a support wall of the container. The support wall can also include one or more apertures positioned adjacent to the recessed cutting track configured to receive a base of a slidable cutter movable along an elongated slot in a lid of the container. The base of the slidable cutter is captured by the recessed cutting track during a cutting operation to secure the lid in a closed position and to apply constant pressure against roll-dispensed stock as it is cut. Roll-dispensed stock containers of the present disclosure can also include a coating on one or more surfaces thereof. The coating can be formed from a material selected to reduce surface friction, increase rigidity, disperse forces associated with a cutter, and/or otherwise enhance characteristics of the container.

A pad of dispensable adhesive tape segments is shown and described. The pad includes a protective envelope and a number of tape segments. The tape segments are arrayed such that detachable pull tabs for each are exposed for grasp. The envelope may include a strip folded over onto itself and adhered in place. The envelope is pulled open and may be adhered to an environmental surface. Tape segments have adhesive of weaker adherence than the adhesive of the envelope so that when pulled by a pull tab, each tape segment preferentially releases from the next, but the envelope maintains adherence to the environmental surface. Adhesive lined tabs initially holding the envelope closed may also be used for adherence to the environmental surface. Preferably used for medical tape, the envelope is waterproof to maintain sterility of tape segments.

A medium passage switching mechanism disposed on a casing of an image forming device, includes a medium tray, a guiding component and a linking component. An entrance passage, a first exit passage and a second exit passage are formed inside the casing. The medium tray is pivoted to the casing. The guiding component is pivoted to the casing. The linking component is a one-piece structure and movably connected to the medium tray and the guiding component. When the medium tray pivots relative to the casing, the medium tray drives the linking component to drive the guiding component to pivot relative to the casing, so that the guiding component can guide a medium to enter into the first exit passage or the second exit passage selectively from the entrance passage.

A waste disposal device comprises a container having an opening at a top end, the container defining an inner cavity accessible through the opening. A bag interface at the opening is adapted to hold a bag opened at the opening of the container with a closed end of the bag extending in the inner cavity. A pair of doors is pivotally connected to the container to open and close access through the opening and adapted to close off a portion of the bag passing therebetween, the doors being pivotable from a closed position in which the doors meet to close the access through the opening, to a first pivoted position in which the doors are pivoted away from the inner cavity, and wherein One of both doors is or are pivotable to a second pivoted position toward the inner cavity. An actuation mechanism operatively connected to at least one of the doors to bias the at least one of the doors to the closed position.

A blank forms a dispenser carton. The dispenser carton receives a rolled sheet to form a dispenser carton assembly. The dispenser carton has a top panel. A dispensing state of the dispenser carton the top panel includes a pair of locking tabs with notches received by a pair of flaps of side panels of the dispenser carton. The pair of flaps each have flap notches. The flap notches provide a gap between a top panel flange and a front panel of the dispenser carton. The pair of locking tabs are received into flap apertures of the pair of flaps. A pair of triangular gaps separate a portion of a back panel of the dispenser carton from left and right side panels to bias the pair of locking tabs against stops of the pair of flaps. A bottom panel of the dispenser carton includes a bottom aperture.

A roll-dispensed stock container is provided. The roll-dispensed stock container has a recessed cutting track and can be assembled by computer aided manufacturing processes.
