WILLIAM T. STERLING, OF NEW YORK, N. Y.
HOLDER FOR ROLL TOILET-PAPER.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 777,981, dated December 20, 1904.
Application filed Tune 6, 1904. Serial No. 211,298.
To all whom it may concern-.-
Be it known that I, WILLIAM T. STERLING, a citizen of the United States, residing in the borough of Manhattan, city, county, and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Holders for Roll Toilet-Paper, of which the following is a specification suflicient to enable others skilled in the art to which the invention appertains to make and use the same.
My invention relates to holders for roll toilet-paper. Heretofore these roll-holders have consisted of detachable spindles supported parallel to the wall or other support by and between brackets projecting at right angles to and from a base-plate extending between said brackets. Hence the wall or other supporting-space requisite for the accommodation of such form of holder necessarily exceeds the width of the paper-roll and is not always available.
The main object of my invention is to afford a neat compact roll holder having a minimum-sized base which may be conveniently secured to a comparatively narrow support, if necessary, such as a door or window frame, or to any other suitable or available support.
The invention is also designed to facilitate the placing of the paper-roll upon the holder, to insure the smooth facile unrolling of the paper, and to adapt the holder to the various widths and requirements of the difierent kinds of roll toilet-paper found in the market.
A distinguishing feature of my invention consists in supporting a roll of toilet-paper on a stud projecting perpendicularly from its base-plate, so that the roll is presented axially at right angles to the supporting-base instead of parallel thereto, as heretofore, thereby dispensing with the broad base and supportingbrackets heretofore used, economizing space laterally, as well as simplifying the construction and use of the holder.
Another feature of the invention consists in making the stud hollow and in using in connection therewith an end cap having a spring-shank for engagement with the internal walls of the stud, whereby the position of the roll upon the supporting-stud may be insured. Incidentally in this connection my invention includes the utilization of the springshank of the end cap as a means for positively locking the cap to the stud.
It is obvious that the roll may be mounted directly upon the stud, if desired; but I prefer in most cases to use an elastic spindle rotatable upon the stud and adapted to fit the tubular center of the roll, substantially as hereinafter set forth.
In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a front elevation of my improved holder with a roll of paper in position thereon. Fig. 2 is a rear view of the holder. Fig. 3 is a front view of the holder with the end cap removed. Fig. 4 is a View of the inner or rear side of the cap. Figs. 5 and 6 are side elevations, taken at right angles to each other, of the cap and its spring-shank. Fig. 7 is a side elevation of the holder complete; Fig. 8, a central longitudinal section of the same; Fig. 9, a side elevation of the base, stud, and rotatable spindle; Fig. 10, a transverse section upon plane of line 10 10, Fig. 7. Fig. 11 is an elevation, partly in section, showing my improved device in its simplest form. Fig. 12 is a side elevation of a split spring-shank.
B represents the base of the holder, formed with the screw-holes Z) 6 or otherwise adapted to be secured to a suitable support. Integral with the base is the stud S, which in the simplest structure of my new form of holder may be made solid, except where tapped to receive the threaded shank of the cap C, as shown in Fig. 11. I prefer, however, to make the stud S hollow and to use an end cap (I, having a spring-shank 0, made either in the form of a split plug, as shown in Fig. 12, or in the form of a spring-latch 0. (Shown in Figs. 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 10.) In either form of spring-shank the bearing of the latter against the inner surface of the hollow stud affords a certain degree. of frictionalresistance to the rotation of the cap C upon its axis, and this is utilized to brake or retard the unrolling of the paper by causing the cap C to bear tightly against the adjoining end of the roll, thereby also forcing the opposite extremity of the roll against the face of the base-plate B and further increasing the frictional resistance to be overcome in the removal of paper. Where the end cap Cis formed with the spring-latch shank c, the latter is formed with one or more latches 0 for engagement with the annular shoulder s on the stud S, as will be seen more particularly by reference to Fig. 8 of the drawings. The use of two or more catches 0 either or any one of which may be made to engage with theannular shoulder 8, allows the locking of my holder at variable widths to accommodate various widths of paper-rolls. The outer end in of spring-shank 0 is bent sharply and projects beyond the stud S, affording a convenient means when the paper has been unrolled for unlocking the cap O and removing the carton upon which toiletpaper is commonly rolled. I/Vhen the paper roll is in place, the spring 0, with its projecting end a', is covered thereby, making its position uncertain, and the possibility of the illegitimate removal of the cap G or of the unused paper-roll is reduced to a minimum. When the paper has been all unrolled, the end of the springs becomes visible and available forits intended use. By making the stud of a diameter suited to the tubular center of the paper-roll to be accommodated the latter may be supported directly thereon, and I do not, therefore, restrict myself to the use of the rotatable spindle R shown in the drawings; neither do I limit myself to the identical form'and construction of parts shown, since it is obvious that various modifications and mechanical expedients may be resorted to without departing from the spirit and intent of my invention, which contemplates, broadly, a roll-supportingstud projecting at right angles to the base-plate, together with means for retaining the roll on said stud substantially as herein indicated. Where the rotatable spindle R is used upon the stud S, I prefer to make it of a single piece of elastic sheet metal cut and bent to form the collars 1' 1, with the connecting longitudinal bows 0- 1", which latter are compressed when the roll is placed in position, and thereby cause the roll to rotate with and upon the spindle B.
By reference to Fig. 1 of the drawings it will be seen that the roll when in position upon the holder completely hides the stud S and base B and that only the disk of the end cap C is visible, thus presenting a neat and attractive appearance. It is thus also obvious that my improved holder, owing to the simplicity and compactness of its structure and the arrangement of the support perpendicular to the base, may be utilized in situations and positions where the use of the older form having the support parallel to the base would be impossible. Anotherimportant feature is the ease with which a roll of paper may be placed in position on my form of holder, since it is simply necessary to remove the end cap C to give access to the support for the roll, such support being also held firmly in position for the reception of the roll, so that both hands of the operator are free to manipulate and place the roll.
