Description

CA _02848429 2014-04-03 EASY LOAD SHEET PRODUCT DISPENSER
BACKGROUND
The present disclosure generally relates to sheet product dispensers, and more particularly, to sheet product dispensers for dispensing sheet product from rolls.
Dispensing of sheet products such as paper towel, tissue and the like, is common in commercial facilities such as restaurants, airports, shopping malls, service stations, and so forth. Paper products are dispensed in these facilities through the use of dispensers, oftentimes with dispensers that house multiple rolls of product.
Such dispensers require re-loading on a regular basis. Thus, an important criterion for dispenser selection is the ease with which the dispenser may be re-loaded.
Accordingly, a continual need exists for sheet product dispensers that are easy to load.
BRIEF SUMMARY

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
Disclosed herein are sheet product dispensers that allow easy loading of sheet product rolls. 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 Figures 1-4, an exemplary dispenser housing, generally designated 12 is illustrated. Suitable materials for the housing 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: acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS) resins;
polyacrylic resins; polycarbonate resins; polystyrene resins; and styrene-acrylic copolymer resins.
The housing 12 includes generally a cover 14 defining a front wall 16 of dispenser 10. Cover 14 includes a pair of rearwardly projecting sidewall dome lobes 18, 20.
The sidewall dome lobes 18, 20 extend rearwardly to a greater extent than adjacent sidewall portions 22, 24 of the cover 14. The housing 12 also has a back housing member 30 which includes a pair of laterally spaced sidewall portions 32, 34 as well as a pair of laterally opposed sidewall recesses 36, 38 corresponding in size and location to at least about a circumference 41 of the ends of a roll 40 of sheet product, which is mounted in the dispenser 10. The size of the sidewall dome lobes 18, 20 varies depending on the intended sheet product to be employed in the dispenser 10. For example, in on embodiment, a tissue roll of diameter, D, typically of about 4 inches, may be employed.
4 The back housing member 30 defines a top wall 42 of dispenser 10. A hinge 48 couples the cover 14 and the back housing member 30 such that the cover 14 is pivotable between an open position 49a shown in Figure 1 and a closed position 49b shown in Figure 2. Hinge 48 includes a plurality of molded-in pin mounts in back housing member 30 as well as a hinge pin 50 and a plurality of molded-in pin mounts 54 of cover 14.
Sidewall dome lobes 18, 20 of cover 14 and the sidewall recesses 36, 38 of back housing member 30 are positioned, configured and dimensioned such that they cooperate to define the sidewalls of the housing 12 in the vicinity of roll 40 mounted for dispensing when the housing 12 is in the closed position 49b and to provide substantially unobstructed access to the roll 40 when the cover 14 is in the open position 49a.
In one embodiment, recesses 36, 38 are generally arcuate and sidewall dome lobes 18, 20 of the cover 14 are also arcuate. For example, the sidewall dome lobes 18, 20 can be frusto-spheroidal lobes. The arcuate recesses 36, 38 of the back housing member 30 and the sidewall dome lobes 18, 20 of the cover 14 extend substantially to back panel 52 of the housing 12 which can be mounted, for example, on a universal mounting plate secured to a wall. The sidewall dome lobes 18, 20 are located at an upper portion 62 of the cover 14, while recesses 36, 38 are located at an upper portion 64 of back housing member 30. The back housing member 30 includes a pair of laterally opposed sidewall portions 66, extending outwardly from a lower central portion 70 and that the cover 14 includes a pair of corresponding or congruent cover recesses 71, 73 extending toward front wall 16 at a lower portion 72 of the cover 14. The various recesses and projections cooperate in an interlocking manner as shown so that the cover is securely supported by back housing member 30 over a plurality of horizontally extending segments 74, 76, 78 and 80 defined therebetween when the cover 14 is in the closed position 49b.
5 In one embodiment, back housing member 30 further defines a bottom wall 82, which extends more than 50% of horizontal span 84 between a back 86 of the dispenser 10 and front wall 16 so as to be suitable as a support platform for a drive chassis, for example, as well as defining a primary dispensing aperture 90 located at a medial portion 92 of the bottom wall 82. Back housing member 30 also includes a pair of laterally opposed mounting brackets 94, 96 for mounting a carousel assembly 100.
In one embodiment, the carousel assembly 100 is enclosed when the housing 12 is in the closed position 49b. An upper mounting 150 of carousel assembly 100 is substantially unobstructed when the dispenser 10 is open, for reloading, for example. Sidewall dome lobes 18, 20 are frusto-spheroidal in shape, projecting laterally from adjacent areas of the cover sidewalls and extending rearwardly generally abutting back panel 52. At the back panel 52, the sidewall dome lobes 18, 20 are truncated, such that the frustal plane of each sidewall dome lobe 18, 20 is generally parallel to back panel 52.
Referring to Figures 4-8, there is shown in more detail that carousel assembly includes a mandrel base 160, spindle locks 162, 164 as well as mandrel support shafts (also referred to interchangeably as roll mounts) 166, 168 that may respectively include a sleeve member. A mandrel support frame 180 with axial supports 182 along a central axis of rotation 186. The supports 182 have round sections 188 as well as locking 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.
Figure 5 is an enlarged view of support 182 (also referred to interchangeably as mounting projection 182) of frame 180 showing round section 188 as well as lug 192. Brackets 94, 96 of back housing member 30 include an angled, elongated slot 220 with a substantially horizontal portion and a downwardly extending terminus 221 adjacent a channel 222. More particularly, channel 222 is axially
6 adjacent slot 220 along axis 186 of frame 180 when the various components are assembled as shown.
When carousel assembly 100 is mounted in brackets 94, 96 by way of frame 180, frame 180 (and thus carousel assembly 100 as well) are movable between an inner locked position 199 shown in Figure 7 where lug 194 engages channel 222, to an outer rotatable position 201 shown in Figure 8 where axis 186 of frame 180 has been shifted outwardly so as to provide clearance with respect to back 52 of back housing member 30 so that the carousel assembly 100 may be rotated in a direction indicated by arrow 224 for reloading.
Advantageously, the dispenser disclosed herein allows for ease in re-loading.
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 of rotation 186 of the carousel 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.
