The present invention pertains to paper product devices for holding toilet paper, particularly toilet roll spindles and holders that simultaneously provide illumination in an area. Embodiments described for the present invention use a toilet paper spindle housing, one or more springs designed to hold the electrical device in place, a power source, often battery powered, one or more lights within the housing to illuminate an area around and including a toilet, an ambient light sensor to detect an ambient light level, a toilet paper slide preventer and motion sensor guard, and one or more passive infrared sensors to detect movement in an area. The embodiment may illuminate an area for a specific time duration once motion or occupancy is detected. In one embodiment, the toilet roll spindle housing attaches vertically to a freestanding base and may be comprised of a power source, a photocell sensor, and infrared sensors.

Systems, devices, and methods for providing a sheet product dispenser with automated product level tracking functionality are provided herein. Various product level sensors are disclosed herein including a product level sensor configured to emit a signal toward an outer circumference of a sheet product roll on a spindle extending along a longitudinal axis and to receive a reflected signal. The product level sensor is positioned a radial distance away from the spindle and aimed to emit the signal in a direction that is not parallel and not perpendicular to the longitudinal axis. The product level sensor detects a parameter of the reflected signal corresponding to the distance between the product level sensor and the sheet product roll. Other example embodiments include mechanical product level sensors. Various communication protocols may be employed to limit transmission of data to conserve battery life while still maintaining desired communication functionality.

Examples of systems and methods to encourage compliance with hand hygiene recommendations are disclosed. A request for a cleansing agent in a cleansing agent dispenser can be received. A compliance timer can be created upon receiving the request. A subsequent request for a towel from a towel dispenser can be deemed out of compliance with hand hygiene recommendations if the request was received before expiry of the compliance timer.

A sanitary wipe dispensing assembly for positioning sanitary wipes proximate to a toilet includes a box has a rear facet, a front facet, opposed vertical facets, and opposed horizontal facets. One of the front facet, the opposed vertical facets, and a first one of the opposed horizontal facets is open for insertion of a container of sanitary wipes. The box can be mounted to a substantially vertical surface proximate to a toilet so that the rear facet abuts the substantially vertical surface. An aperture is positioned in a second one of the opposed horizontal facets. A sanitary wipe protruding through the aperture can be grasped and pulled by a user to dispense it from the container for use in maintaining personal hygiene.

A dispenser for sheet materials is disclosed. The dispenser includes a housing having an including a cover assembly, a back frame member comprising a first side and a second and opposite side forming an interior surface of the housing, and the first side of the back frame member comprising at least one mating receptor; and a plate comprising a carrier member primarily made from plastic and a decorative facia, wherein the carrier member has a facia side coupled to the decorative facia and a back and opposite side, including a locking element, wherein the plate is configured to be removably coupled to the first side of the back frame member when the locking element of the carrier member is releasably engaged to the mating receptor of the back frame member such that the decorative facia forms an exterior surface of the dispenser.

A single-use towel dispenser, sterilizer and usage logging device with a refillable storage compartment for storing a single-use towel supply including an access door for refilling the single-use towel supply and a dispensing port, an ultra-violet sterilization element, a single-use towel dispensing mechanism, a user input device, a non-transitory memory storing an executable code and a hardware processor executing the executable code to receive a user input via the user input device, activate, in response to the user input, the ultra-violet sterilization element, dispense, using the single-use towel dispensing mechanism, a sterilized single-use towel by passing a first length of single-use towel from the single-use towel supply within an effective distance of the activated ultra-violet sterilization element such that the first length of single-use towel is illuminated by an ultra-violet light having sufficient intensity to sterilize the first length of single-use towel and store sterilization and usage data in the non-transitory memory.

A housing is provided to enclose a heating device configured to warm toilet paper and irradiate the toilet paper with germicidal UV light. An additional light may be provided for the convenience of the user at night or other low light applications. The devices may be initiated by the user, initiated by a motion or touch sensor, or initiated by a timer. A smart device may be utilized to provide user configured preferences. The devices may be powered by a battery pack or may receive power from a wall outlet.

A bathroom product delivery system includes a toilet paper holder and a flushable wipe holder. The toilet paper holder and the flushable wipe holder bathroom are positioned adjacent to each other. The flushable wipe holder may receive and retain a flushable wipe container that contains a roll of flushable wipes, orienting the flushable wipe container in a manner that makes the flushable wipes readily accessible to an individual as they use a toilet. Methods of using such a bathroom product delivery system are also disclosed.

The present invention relates to a decorative toilet paper holder. The holder is configured to be styled as one or more of an animal likeness, a sports equipment replica, a logo, a cartoon character, a doll, a toy and many more. The toilet paper holder comprises: a holder body that includes a cavity to accommodate a toilet paper roll; a weighted base or a suction cup attached to the bottom of the holder body, directly or through a detachable handle, for placing the holder on a surface; the toilet paper roll is rolled over a spindle within the cavity, wherein the spindle can be removed for replacing the toilet paper roll. The holder also includes a sleeve or pocket for storing an air freshener for providing fresh or scented air.

A dispensing assembly and a method for cleaning inner buttocks using partially wet toilet paper. The dispensing assembly includes a housing and a container removably coupled to the bottom of the housing. The container can be removed, refilled, and reattached to the housing. A pump enclosed within the housing can suck liquid from the container. The pump can deliver a stream of liquid through a nozzle on the toilet paper. Sensors protruding from the housing can detect the toilet paper when in proximity to the nozzle.
