Definitions

  • This invention relates to a dispenser for sequentially dispensing a plurality of rolls of tissue and the like wherein one roll of tissue is originally presented in a dispensing position, while the other is presented in a nondispensing position, and upon the consumption of said one roll, said other roll is movable from its nondispensing to a dispensing position. More particularly, this invention relates to a dispenser of the foregoing type preferably including detection means for detecting the consumption of the first used roll of tissue and automatically, upon said detection of said consumption, moving said other or reserve roll into its dispensing position, all of which may be incorporated with a novel roll holder assembly and a novel roll holder mounting structure, according to certain of the principles of the present invention.
  • Two basic types of prior dispensers for sequentially dispensing a plurality of rolls of tissue have been provided, one in which the rolls of tissue are mounted on separate and independently, slidably movable roll holders, and the other in which a pair of roll holders are mounted on a pivotally movable roll holder assembly.
  • the separate roll holders have usually been mounted in some form of housing, with ends of said roll holders engaged in track means for guiding the individual slidable movement of said roll holders along the housing in order to present the rolls of tissue in the various dispensing and nondispensing positions, and accomplish the change of such positions.
  • said assembly has usually been pivotally mounted on a housing for extending one of the rolls of tissue from the housing in a dispensing position, while maintaining the other roll of tissue within the housing in a nondispensing position, the roll holder assembly pivoting to reverse the roll holder positioning relative to the housing when the first roll of tissue is consumed, and thereby presenting the reserve roll in the dispensing position.
  • Dispensers of the general character herein involved are used in commercial and institutional environments and are normally serviced once or twice a day for properly maintaining the rolls of tissue dispensed thereby replenished.
  • the usual procedure is for maintenance personnel to make the rounds of the various dispensers at predetermined intervals, replacing consumed rolls of tissue and repositioning partially consumed rolls of tissue.
  • dispensers adapted for sequentially dispensing a plurality of rolls of tissue is that more than a single roll of tissue is provided at each location so that the foregoing maintenance need be less frequent, while still assuring a proper supply of tissue at all times.
  • Such servicing intervals are, of course, determined so that in most of the dispensers being serviced, the initial dispensed roll will be completely consumed and the reserve roll wiil be in the process of consumption.
  • the prior dispensers discussed, whether of the separate, slidably movable roll holder type, or the pivotal roll holder assem bly type, and assuming that the most usual situation will be prevalent wherein the originally dispensed roll has been consumed and the reserve roll is in the process of being consumed, it is necessary during the servicing operation to remove the partially consumed roll from the reserve roll holder and replace the same on the first dis- "ice pensing roll holder, with a new roll of tissue then being placed on the reserve roll holder.
  • Such required servicing operation is relatively time consuming, it is obviously necessary in order that the advantages of the multiple roll dispensers will not be completely frustrated.
  • a dispenser for sequentially dispensing a. plurality of rolls of tissue of the foregoing general character wherein a roll holder assembly, including at least two spaced roll holders, is slidable as an integral unit in a housing Wherein one roll of tissue supported on said assembly is initially presented in a dispensing position, while another roll of tissue is presented in a reserve, nondispensing position when said assembly is in a first position, said assembly being movable upon the consumption of said one roll for moving said reserve roll to a dispensing position.
  • detecting means may be provided operably with said roll holder assembly for detecting said one roll consumption and automatically releasing latch means for movement of the roll holder assembly from its first to its second position.
  • Due to a unique integration of housing metal and plastic parts it is possible to form the major portion of the dispenser sidewalls from plastic and the intricately configured track means formed directly in said plastic sidewalls, while still providing the necessary assured alignment and strength for properly movably supporting the roll holder assembly to assure eflicient and proper functioning of the dispenser.
  • the housing sidewalls may be relatively economically produced as plastic moldings, will present an aesthetically pleasing outward appearance, while still reducing the overall fabrication cost of the dispenser construction.
  • the latch means for retaining the roll holder assembly in its first position and releasable for permitting movement of said roll holder assembly to its second position may, furthermore, be associated directly with said roll split core detection so that complicated interconnecting arms and levers are not required.
  • the combined detection means and latch means is, therefore, positively operable and may be economically provided for relatively foolproof functioning.
  • the roll holders are readily and freely accessible for the roll changing or mounting operations.
  • the dispenser of the present invention it is never necessary to remove a partially consumed roll of tissue from one roll holder and replace it on the other roll holder, but rather, the entire maintenance operation is merely the replacement of the fully consumed roll so as to even further greatly reduce the maintenance operation time required.
  • the roll holder assembly is slidably removed from the dispenser housing, the fully consumed roll of tissue is replaced, the roll holder assembly is reversed end for end so as to place the roll holder containing the partially consumed roll of tissue in the leading position, and the roll holder assembly is slidably reinserted in the housing, placing said partially consumed roll in a dispensing position and said replenished roll in the reserve, nondispensing position.

  • the track 56 of the left side panel 36 has an open upper end 60 at the cover 34 and a closed lowerend 62 adjacent the housing lower end 50, while the track 58 of the right side panel 32 similarly has an open upper end 64 and a closed lower end 66 at the same locations.
  • Both of the tracks 56 and 58 in the transverse alignment thereof extend longitudinally from the open upper ends 60 and 64 angling slightly rearwardly and then straight downwardly, and finally, angle more sharply rearwardly to the closed lower ends 62 and 66.

Further-more, in the overall roll holder assembly 24, the roll holders 94 and 96 and the roll holder frame 98 may be formed of molded plastic, whereas the yoke 92, as previously mentioned, is preferably formed of metal.
  • Rolls of tissue, generally indicated at 134, to be dispensed by the dispenser 20 of the present invention are formed with split cores 136, best seen in FIGS. 5 and 6, said split cores being maintained in axially assembled condition by wrapped tissue 138 of said rolls. Also, it will be noted in FIG. 5 that the split of the cores 136 occurs axially between the mandrel enlarged portions 110 and the sleeves 114 of the roll holders 94 and 96, such being required for the proper functioning of the dispenser 20, as will be hereinafter described.
  • the roll holder assembly 24 is filled with rolls of tissue 134 separate from the housing 22, said rolls of tissue being axially slid over the roll holders 94 and 96, with the split cores 136 thereof engaged over and supported on said roll holders.
  • said split cores will be maintained assembled and will retain the mandrel enlarged portions 110 and the sleeves 114 of the roll holders 94 and 96 axially aligned with the sleeve latch engagement legs 116 overlying and longitudinally aligned with the longitudinally depending ends 130 of the roll holder frame 98.
  • the roll holder sleeves 114 will be retained axially aligned, rather than pivoted, relative to the mandrel enlarged portions 110 thereof by the roll holder springs 128 so that said rolls of tissue may be easily slipped over the roll holders 94 and 96.
  • the filled roll holder assembly 24 is ready for insertion into the housing 22, which is accomplished merely by opening the housing cover 34 and sliding the roll holder assembly, either end first, into the housing tracks 56 and S8, with the roll holder projections or yoke end parts 100 and 102 in the narrower track 56 and the roll holder projections 104 and 106 in the housing wider track 58.
  • the forward of the latch engagement legs 116 on the sleeve 114 on the leading of the roll holders say the roll holder 96, will transversely depress the latch spring and come to rest supported on the latch stop 88, as shown and in the position of FIGS. 1, 2, 4 and 5.
  • the left-hand roll holder projections as viewed in FIG. 5, that is, the grooved yoke end portions and 102, will be transversely trapped within the housing track 56 'by the front edge 68 on the housing left trough leg 36, engaging forwardly in the grooved yoke end portions 100 and 102.
  • the metal housing trough 26 will, therefore, prevent any possibility of transverse spreading of the housing plastic side panels 30 and 32, making possible the formation of the housing tracks 56 and 58 with the relatively complicated configuration thereof in the plastic side panels 30 and 32. In this manner, the more economically formed plastic side panels 30 and 32 of the housing 22 will provide proper functioning for the overall construction, and as well provide the aesthetically pleasing outside appearance possible with said side panels 30 and 32.
  • the housing cover 34 may be closed and the dispenser 20 is ready for the dispensing of the first roll of tissue 134.

  • the antireverse latch 72 will be released from the cover projecting edge 76 so that the latch will pivot to lie against the housing ledge 78 and overlie the uppermost of the roll holder frame stabilizers 132 of the roll holder assembly 24, as best seen in hidden lines in FIG. 2. Any attempt to slide the roll holder assembly 24 upwardly in the housing 22 will, therefore, be blocked by the engagement of the housing antireverse latch 72 with the roll holder assembly stabilizer 132.
  • the first roll of tissue may be used in the conventional manner and upon the complete use of the wrapped tissue 13S completely exposing or freeing the split cores 136, the housing latch spring 80 bearing transversely against the sleeve latch engagement leg 116 engaged with the housing latch stop 38 will overcome the lesser resilient force of the roll holder spring 128 of the roll holder 96, thereby pivoting the roll holder sleeve 114 relative to the roll holder mandrel 108 in the manner illustrated in phantom lines in FIG. 8.
  • the time for maintenance of the dispenser 20 will arrive and the servicing personnel will merely unlock and open the housing cover 34, pivoting said cover to the open position.
  • the pivoting of the housing cover 34 to the open position will cause the cover projecting edge 76 to engage the projection 74 on the antireverse latch 72, pivoting said antireverse latch in the counterclockwise position, as viewed in FIG. 3, so that the roll holder assembly 24 will no longer be blocked against upward movement along the housing tracks 56 and 53.
  • the entire unitary roll holder assembly 24 may, therefore, be slid upwardly and outwardly of the housing 22 to be serviced remote from said housing.

  • the roll holder 94 In view of the roll holder 94 containing the partially used roll of tissue 134 so that a certain amount of wrapped tissue 138 will retain the split cores 136 thereof assembled, the roll holder 94 will be in the previously described latching condition for engagement with the housing latch stop 88, also as previously described. The roll holder 94 will, therefore, now be positioned in a dispensing position and the roll holder 96 will be positioned in the reserve, nondispensing position. Upon the partially used roll of tissue 134 on the roll holder 94 being completely consumed, the unlatchin'g and downward movement of the roll holder assembly 24 will again be repeated for placing the now lower roll holder 94 in the exhausted position and the new upper roll holder 96 in the dispensing position.
