The sheet product dispenser may be employed with one or more rolls. The term “sheet products” is inclusive of natural and/or synthetic cloth or paper sheets. Further, sheet products can include both woven and non-woven articles. Examples of sheet products include, but are not limited to, wipers, napkins, tissues, and towels.
- Referring now to
FIGS. 1-4 , an exemplary dispenser housing, generally designated 12 is illustrated. Suitable materials for thehousing 12 include, but are not limited to, metal and plastics. For ease and cost in manufacturing, in one embodiment, the components of the housing comprise an injection-molded structure made from a thermoplastic material, such as one that includes at least one of the following resins: acrylonitlile-butadiene-styrene (ABS) resins; polyacrylic resins; polycarbonate resins; polystyrene resins; and styrene-acrylic copolymer resins. - The
housing 12 includes generally acover 14 defining afront wall 16 ofdispenser 10.Cover 14 includes a pair of rearwardly projectingsidewall dome lobes adjacent sidewall portions cover 14. Thehousing 12 also has aback housing member 30 which includes a pair of laterally spacedsidewall portions sidewall recesses circumference 41 of the ends of aroll 40 of sheet product, which is mounted in thedispenser 10. The size of thesidewall dome lobes dispenser 10. For example, in on embodiment, a tissue roll of diameter, D, typically of about 4 inches, may be employed. - The
back housing member 30 defines atop wall 42 ofdispenser 10. Ahinge 48 couples thecover 14 and theback housing member 30 such that thecover 14 is pivotable between anopen position 49 a shown inFIG. 1 and a closedposition 49 b shown inFIG. 2 . Hinge 48 includes a plurality of molded-inpin mounts 53 inback housing member 30 as well as ahinge pin 50 and a plurality of molded-inpin mounts 54 ofcover 14. - Sidewall dome lobes 18, 20 of
cover 14 and the sidewall recesses 36, 38 ofback housing member 30 are positioned, configured and dimensioned such that they cooperate to define the sidewalls of thehousing 12 in the vicinity ofroll 40 mounted for dispensing when thehousing 12 is in the closedposition 49 b and to provide substantially unobstructed access to theroll 40 when thecover 14 is in theopen position 49 a. - In one embodiment,
recesses sidewall dome lobes cover 14 are also arcuate. For example, thesidewall dome lobes arcuate recesses back housing member 30 and thesidewall dome lobes cover 14 extend substantially toback panel 52 of thehousing 12 which can be mounted, for example, on a universal mounting plate secured to a wall. Thesidewall dome lobes upper portion 62 of thecover 14, whilerecesses upper portion 64 ofback housing member 30. Theback housing member 30 includes a pair of laterally opposedsidewall portions central portion 70 and that thecover 14 includes a pair of corresponding orcongruent cover recesses front wall 16 at alower portion 72 of thecover 14. The various recesses and projections cooperate in an interlocking manner as shown so that thecover 14 is securely supported byback housing member 30 over a plurality of horizontally extendingsegments cover 14 is in the closedposition 49 b. - In one embodiment,
back housing member 30 further defines abottom wall 82, which extends more than 50% ofhorizontal span 84 between aback 86 of thedispenser 10 andfront wall 16 so as to be suitable as a support platform for a drive chassis, for example, as well as defining aprimary dispensing aperture 90 located at amedial portion 92 of thebottom wall 82. Backhousing member 30 also includes a pair of laterally opposedmounting brackets carousel assembly 100. - In one embodiment, the
carousel assembly 100 is enclosed when thehousing 12 is in the closedposition 49 b. Anupper mounting 150 ofcarousel assembly 100 is substantially unobstructed when thedispenser 10 is open, for reloading, for example.Sidewall dome lobes panel 52. At theback panel 52, thesidewall dome lobes sidewall dome lobe back panel 52. - Referring to
FIGS. 4-8 , there is shown in more detail thatcarousel assembly 100 includes amandrel base 160,spindle locks mandrel support frame 180 with axial supports 182 along a central axis ofrotation 186. Thesupports 182 haveround sections 188 as well aslocking lugs 192. In order to provide for a more compact dispenser,carousel assembly 100 is movable between an inner, locked position for dispensing and an outer, rotatable position for dispensing. -
FIG. 5 is an enlarged view of support 182 (also referred to interchangeably as mounting projection 182) offrame 180 showinground section 188 as well aslug 192.Brackets back housing member 30 include an angled,elongated slot 220 with a substantially horizontal portion and a downwardly extendingterminus 221 adjacent achannel 222. More particularly,channel 222 is axiallyadjacent slot 220 alongaxis 186 offrame 180 when the various components are assembled as shown. - When
carousel assembly 100 is mounted inbrackets frame 180, frame 180 (and thuscarousel assembly 100 as well) arc movable between an innerlocked position 199 shown inFIG. 7 wherelug 194 engageschannel 222, to an outerrotatable position 201 shown inFIG. 8 whereaxis 186 offrame 180 has been shifted outwardly so as to provide clearance with respect to back 52 ofback housing member 30 so that thecarousel assembly 100 may be rotated in a direction indicated byarrow 224 for reloading. - Advantageously, the dispenser disclosed herein allows for ease in reloading. Moreover, the use of a
carousel assembly 100 allows multiple rolls of sheet product to be employed. The use of multiple rolls makes it much less likely that available sheet product will be exhausted, while the ability to move the axis ofrotation 186 of thecarousel assembly 100 outwardly for rotation allows for a compact dispenser profile. - While the disclosure has been described with reference to an exemplary embodiment, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes may be made and equivalents may be substituted for elements thereof without departing from the scope of the disclosure. In addition, many modifications may be made to adapt a particular situation or material to the teachings of the disclosure without departing from the essential scope thereof. Therefore, it is intended that the disclosure not be limited to the particular embodiment disclosed as the best mode contemplated for carrying out this disclosure, but that the disclosure will include all embodiments falling within the scope of the appended claims.
