Definitions
- Paper towels are routinely used in kitchens, restaurants and other settings where food is prepared and served. No matter where food is served, paper towel dispensers are often used to dispense paper towel sheets to clean up spills or to clean tables, floors and kitchen appliances. In addition, paper towel dispensers are often used in recreational settings, in addition to garages, auto or wood working shops and in other work or recreational areas where people need to absorb or wipe-up a spill, dry a surface or simply clean and/or dry their hands. Paper towels are usually sold in a roll having a width of approximately eleven inches or so and sheets of approximately six to fifteen inches in length connected end-to- end along serrated tear lines.
- a preferred embodiment of the invention which is intended to accomplish at least some of the foregoing objects, includes a single hand, paper towel sheet dispenser comprising a base, a core holder operable to rotatably hold a roll of serrated, paper towel sheet segments connected together end-to-end along perforated tear lines, and a single hand paper towel dispensing bale.
- the single hand dispensing bale includes a first brake bar and a second generally parallel tear bar.

- FIGURE 16 is a partial cross-sectional view, taken along section lines 16 —16 in Figure 15, disclosing a highly secure braking relationship of a brake bar with respect to a tear bar of this embodiment of the invention.
- FIGURE 17 is an axonometric view of the embodiment of the invention depicted in Figure 15 with the roll of paper towel sheets removed to disclose internal detail ofthe dispenser.
- the shell can ca y a solid rectangular permanent magnet.
- the base may be round, oval, square or even irregular as desired.
- the base may be releasably mounted upon the exterior of any metallic surface such as the sidewall, or even front, of a refrigerator.
- the base element 10 can also be configured such that a transparent cover is mounted on top of the base element to permit display of pictures or other personalized user insignia.
- the base can be formed from a ceramic block with a magnetic backing adhesively adhered to the base.
- the base 10 operably serves to carry a generally U-shaped wire core holder 18.
- the core holder 18 has a first rod 20 pivotally mounted on the base 10. This can be accomplished by different means, including an elongate sleeve segment (not shown) stamped out of the metallic member 10 or two or more sleeve segments 26 connected to the lower portion ofthe base 10.
- the core holder 18 has a second rod 22, extending parallel to the first, that serves to pivotally carry a core-cariying member 30, note Figure 3.
- the core-cariying member 30 may be formed in a number of generally cylindrical shapes, including a spiral-shaped wire cage as depicted in Figure 3.
- the core-carrying member 30 can be a molded plastic unit that has voids throughout its length but is generally fashioned in the shape of a cylinder. Regardless of the material, or exact shape, the core carrying member 30 snuggly but releasably engages the interior surface of a paper core of a roll of paper towel sheets without relative rotation.
- the core cariying member 30, however, is pivoted upon and free to rotate about the second rod 22 ofthe core holder 18.
- the diameter of the core cariying member 30 can vary but is generally the size of a conventional paper core of a roll of paper towels.
- the U-shaped core holder 18 and dispensing bale 40 are preferably composed of a heavy gauge solid wire construction so that they are rugged. Other materials and shapes such as tubular plastic bars are envisioned and may be used, however, a heavy wire composed of painted low-grade steel, or even stainless steel, is presently preferred.
- the invention is designed to be bi-directional in that a user might want to install the serrated, paper towel sheet dispenser of the present invention so that the core carrying member 18 can be loaded from either the right side or left side of the dispenser.
- a user slides the core carrying member 18 out of engagement with the base plate 10, then swings the dispensing bale 40 to the other side of the core cariying member 18. Then the user reinserts the core carrying unit 18 in the other end of the base plate 10, such that the mounting ai'm 20 is inserted through the mounting brackets 26 from the opposite direction.
- Figure 3 depicts a perspective view of the subject invention with the components of the mvention shown assembled together without application of a roll of serrated paper sheets to reveal structural details of the invention.
- Figure 4 depicts a partial end view ofthe dispensing bale 40 where the diameter ofthe brake bar 42 engaging the exterior surface ofthe roll of paper towels has a diameter greater than the diameter of the tear bar 44. Accordingly, the tear bar 42 is held out and away from engagement with the exterior surface of a roll of paper towels. Gently pulling downward on the free end 50 of a roll of paper towels sheets unreels a length of towel beneath the brake bar 42 and over the tear bar 44.
- the dispenser bale 40 is mounted from the other end of the base 10, i.e. turned end-for-end and the dispensmg bale 48 is flipped over, the former outward looking lines of contact 54 and 56 will come into contact with the periphery of the roll of serrated paper towel sheets.
- an inner brake bar 42 and an outer tear bar 44 is shown.
- the inner braking bar 42 is again larger in transverse dimension than the outer tear bar 44, however, in this embodiment the inner braking bar 42 is approximately square in cross-section having four sides 58 of approximately equal dimension.
- a generally flat, rectangular inner surface is brought into braking contact with the exterior surface of the roll of serrated, paper towels during a dispensing operation.
- Figure 11 discloses yet another embodiment ofthe invention where the inner brake bar 42 is similar to the brake bar depicted in Figure 10, however, the outer tear bar 44 is formed with a somewhat square cross- sectional configuration but with an arcuate upper surface 78 that contacts the paper towel 50 as it is being dispensed to present in combination with inner bale 42 a desirable braking and tear configuration.
- Figures 12 - 14 illustrate yet another embodiment ofthe invention.
- Figure 12 discloses an axonometric view of the components ofthe bale 40 mounted upon a base 10 where the bale components and roll of paper towels extend outwardly from a central portion ofthe base 10.
- Mounting apertures 82 may be fashioned through the base plate 10 to receive wood or metal screws in a conventional manner.
- the core holder 18 is mounted within a sleeve 84 formed within the base element 10.
- Figure 14 depicts a cross sectional view, taken along section lines 14-14 in Figure 13, of a mounting arrangement of the core holder 18 with respect to the base plate 10.
- the mounting sleeve 84 is an integral part of the base element 10 and extends along the length of the base as shown in Figure 12.
- the mounting sleeve 84 is formed as a cylindrical tube having, on at least a portion of its length, a noncircular interior shape. As seen in Figure 14 this non-circular shape is depicted as a twelve-sided configuration having twelve flat surfaces 92 and twelve obtuse angles 94.
- a mounting rod 20 of core holder 18 is designed to axially slide into the mounting sleeve 84, note again Figures 1- 3.
- the mounting rod is formed with lands and angles which are compatible with surfaces 92 and 94.
- a dodecagon configuration is preferred although a hexagon shape will also work.
- the mounting rod 20 may be retained in an axially secure position by frictional engagement, a detent, a set screw or other conventional mounting arrangement.
- the provision of a twelve sided dodecagon mounting arrangement enables a user to adjust the position ofthe core holder 18, with respect to the plane of the base 10 in increments of 30 degrees. If a finer adjustment is desired the number of angles and flats can be increased.
- the releasable nature of core holder element 20, with respect to the base 10, enables a user to withdraw the core holder from the mounting sleeve 84 and turn the core mounting element 18 end-for-end such that the paper towel dispenser may be positioned, with an open end in a position to easily slide a roll of paper towels onto the core cariying member 30.
- the paper towel-retaining rod 46 is rotated 180 degrees.
- an elastic fastening element 98 operable extends between the fixed core holder element 18 and the pivotally mounted dispensing bale 40.
- the roll can be retained on the core-carrying member 30 by the provision of the generally radially extending retaining arm 46 at a distal end of the dispensing bale 40.
- the base 10 is fashioned as a rectangular shell with an interior solid rectangular magnet 100.
- the mounting element is a transverse elongate sleeve 26 for rotatably supporting the pivot arm or rod 20 ofthe core-carrying bale 18.
- the core of a roll of paper towels is supported by an interior element 30, which is formed from a molded polymer having voids but with a general exterior configuration of a cylinder.
- the core-carrying bale 18 is connected to the dispensing bale 40 with a flexible connector 47, such as a light chain.
- the dispensing bale 40 is provided with an enhanced structural relationship of the mutually parallel brake bar 42 and the tear bar 44 for braking. More specifically, and as clearly seen in Figures 16 and 17, the brake bar 42 has spacing end segments 102 that position the brake bar 42 below the tear bar 44. With this physical arrangement a paper towel is trained beneath the brake bar 42, reversely bent back over the brake bar and up and over the tear bar 42 is an S- shape path. This provides a reverse bend path for the paper towel sheets that enhances the braking action during a tearing operation. In certain instances it may even be desirable to extend the brake bar forward ofthe tear bar 44 to enhance the reverse fold path of the paper towel sheets.
- the subject invention will also operate, although not as facilely, with a core-cariying member 30 that has a diameter less than the interior diameter of the core of paper towels and thus permits relative rotation of the roll of paper towels upon the core-carrying member during an unreeling operation.
- the brake bar 42 serves to prevent further rotation and enables one handed tearing of a desired length of paper towels.
- the base member 10 can be fitted with a clear panel of glass or plastic to enable a user to slide a picture or personal item behind the glass for display.
- the core holder 18 is pivotally mounted to the base plate 10 along an edge of the frame so that the clear surface is not obstructed. The operation of the paper sheet dispenser, including the core holder 18 and the paper sheet dispensing bale, operate the same as discussed above.
- the paper towel sheet dispenser can be mounted on a generally vertical surface, including a wall or cabinet, or alternatively mounted on the bottom of a horizontal surface, i.e. the bottom of a kitchen cabinet with wood or metal screws through the base plate 10.
- a serrated paper sheet segment such as a paper towel segment
- the invention presents numerous advantages over traditional paper sheet dispensers and enables a user to reliably unreel a desired length of paper segments and sever the length with one hand.
- the subject invention is preferably composed of heavy gauge wire which provides not only strength to the structure but a gravity component that assists in braking action during removal of a length of paper segments from a roll. Alternatively other materials may be used, such as plastic, which will fall within the purview of the subject invention.
- the paper sheet dispensing bale with mutually parallel bars 42 and 44 enables the paper sheet to be entrained in an under/over dispensing path that is operable to securely brake the roll as an individual or series of towel segments are torn from the roll.
- the parallel brake bar of the dispensing bale may be fashioned such that in cross-section the contacting surface of the brake bar contacts the outer surface of a roll of serrated paper sheets with a surface that is concave, hollowed or arched inward relative to the adjacent, generally rounded outer surface of said roll of serrated paper sheets.
- this design at least two parallel lines of contact are made between the braking bar and the outer surface of the roll of serrated paper sheets. This design provides desirable tearing characteristics when a user dispenses one or more serrated paper sheets.
- the brake bar 42 and tear bar 44 provide desirable braking and tear characteristics for particular paper towel compositions.
- the downward force applied by the user to dispense the sheet applies a force against the braking bar.
- This downward force acts as a braking mechanism such that at least two parallel lines of contact are established between said generally concave contacting surface ofthe braking bar and the somewhat deformable outer surface of a roll of serrated paper sheets.
- This braking mechanism serves both to secure the roll of serrated paper sheets during the dispensing operation, and also prevents undesired unreeling of the roll.
- the subject paper towel dispensing invention is designed to be mounted with an open end either to the right or left.
- a user can facilely install the serrated paper sheet dispenser of the present invention with an open end on either the right side or left side of a generally planar surface for mounting.
- To change the direction of mounting a user slides the core cariying unit out of engagement with the base plate, then swings the bale bar to the other side ofthe roller, and reinserts the unit in the reverse side of the base plate.
- the invention will mount on a refrigerator with a magnetic base plate, or it will mount on a wall or under a cabinet with screws through the base plate.
- a user may want the roll of serrated paper sheets to hang against a wall (similar to mounting on a refrigerator). In the wall and under-cabinet positions, it may be beneficial to use a torsion spring or an elastic cord to maintain contact between the braking bar and the roll of serrated paper sheets.
- the base member 10 can be fitted with a photo frame, a ceramic tile frame, or a stainless steel long, narrow piece. These frame options also have a flexible magnet on the reverse sides.
- the base member 10 is fitted with a generally U-shaped frame that operably fits around three sides of the base to form a U-shaped channel.
- a clear panel of glass or plastic is slid into the frame and a user is then free to slide a picture or personal item behind the glass for display.
- the core holder 18 is then pivotally mounted to the base edge ofthe frame so that the display surface is not obstructed.
- the subject invention provides a reliable system of using a single hand to tear off serrated, paper towel sheets without touching or soiling other sheets of the roll of paper towels with a user's other hand.
- a braking bar extends below a tear bar and the path of travel of paper towel sheets is in a general reverse folded S-shaped path that provides enhanced braking action as a sheet of paper towel is being torn from the roll.
- the base may be advantageously mounted on a wood or plastic surface with screws or on a metallic surface by utilizing a permanent magnet.
- the base may further be utilized to display personal or decorative pictures or designs or information for ready reference.
