BY ml 3m United States Patent TOILET TISSUE STORAGE CONTAINER Melvin R. Tosch, East Detroit, Mich.
Application March 13, 1956, Serial No. 571,269
1 Claim. (Cl. 220-18) The present invention relates to new and useful improvements in storage containers particularly for toilet tissue and has for its primary object to provide, in a manner as hereinafter set forth, novel means in the form of a cylindrical tubular magazine, for the reception of a stack of tissue rolls, which may be expeditiously installed and substantially concealed in the stack wall of a bathroom at the time of construction.
Another very important object of the invention is to provide a tissue storage container of the aforementioned character from which the rolls may be readily removed one at a time.
Other objects of the invention are to provide a toilet tissue storage container of the character described which will be comparatively simple in construction, strong, durable, compact, of light weight and which may be manufactured and installed at low cost.
These together with other objects and advantages which will become subsequently apparent reside in the details of construction and operation as more fully hereinafter described and claimed, reference being had to the accompanying drawing forming a part hereof, wherein like numerals refer to like parts throughout, and in which:
Figure 1 is a view in front elevation, showing a container embodying the present invention installed;
Figure 2 is a vertical sectional view, taken substantially on the line 22 of Figure 1;
Figure 3 is a view in horizontal section, taken substantially on the line 3--3 of Figure 2; and,
Figure 4 is a view in horizontal section, taken substantially on the line 4-4 of Figure 2.
Referring now to the drawing in detail, it will be seen that the embodiment of the invention which has been illustrated comprises a substantially cylindrical, tubular magazine of metal, plastic or other suitable material which is designated generally by reference character 5. The ends of the tubular magazine 5, which may also be of any desired length and diameter, are closed by upper and lower caps 6 and 7, respectively.
As shown to advantage in Figures 3 and 4 of the drawing, the tubular magazine is adapted to be mounted on one side of a stud 8 in a stack wall 9, immediately beneath the ceiling or ceiling plate 10. Toward this end, substantially U-shaped metallic straps are afiixed horizontally, as by welding, to the tubular magazine 5 at vertically spaced points. The end portions of the straps 11 straddle the stud 8 and are nailed thereto, as indicated at 12.
Adjacent to but spaced slightly above the lower end of the magazine 5 is a substantially square, outwardly projecting flanged opening 13 for the insertion and removal of the rolls of tissue paper, as indicated at 14. The flanged opening 13 extends through an opening 18 in the finish wall 15 of the structure and is provided with a suitable closure 16.
It is thought that the invention will be readily understood from a consideration of the foregoing. Briefly, the cylindrical tubular magazine 5 is mounted on the stud 8 during the construction of the stack wall 9, the device preferably being located in back of and just above the usual flush tank of the bathroom, as indicated at 17 in Figure 1 of the drawing. Of course, access is had to the magazine 5 by opening the door 16. The previously inserted rolls 14 are elevated to permit the insertion of the next roll therebeneath. This operation is repeated until the magazine 5 is full or substantially so. Of course, to remove the rolls one at a time as they are needed, the foregoing procedure is substantially reversed. The lowermost roll 14 is removed by swinging the upper end thereof outwardly from beneath the superjacent roll, this operation being facilitated by reason of the fact that the lower end portion of said lower roll extends below the opening 13 and is thus anchored for causing said lower roll to swing outwardly and downwardly when pulled.
From the foregoing, the construction and operation of the device will be readily understood and further explanation is believed to be unnecessary. However, since numerous modifications and changes will readily occur to those skilled in the art, it is not desired to limit the invention to the exact construction shown and described, and accordingly all suitable modifications and equivalents may be resorted to, falling within the scope of the invention as claimed.
What is claimed as new is as follows:
A tissue roll storage container comprising: a vertical cylindrical magazine to be mounted and concealed in a bathroom stack wall having an opening therein, said magazine for the reception of tissue rolls, upper and lower caps closing the ends of the magazine, a flanged outlet on the lower portion of the magazine adjacent to but spaced above the lower cap and engageable in the opening for supporting said magazine in the wall, and a closure hingedly mounted on said flanged outlet.
