Abstract

A toilet roll dispenser comprising a housing having a top surface, a bottom surface, a back wall, and a first sidewall and a second sidewall with the sidewalls each having a track with the tracks running parallel to each other for guiding a toilet paper roll from a receiving end of the tracks to a dispensing end of the tracks with the toilet roll dispenser also including at least one pair of reserve tracks comprising a track branching from the track of the first sidewall and a track branching from the track of the second sidewall with the reserve track located parallel to each other for supporting a further toilet paper roll in an out of the way condition so that all of the toilet paper rolls supported by the dispenser are spaced from each other.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
I claim:  
     
         1 . A toilet roll dispenser comprising: 
 a housing having a top member, a bottom member, a rear wall and a first sidewall and a second sidewall, said sidewalls each having a track with the track of said first sidewall running parallel to the track of said second sidewall for guiding a toilet paper roll supported by a roller from a receiving end of said tracks to a dispensing end of said tracks; and    at least one pair of reserve tracks comprising a first track branching from the track of the first sidewall and a second track branching from the track of the second sidewall with the reserve tracks located parallel to each other for supporting a further toilet paper roll in an out-of-the-way condition and a spaced condition from the toilet paper roll supported by the roller in the dispensing end of said tracks.    
     
     
         2 . The toilet roll dispenser of  claim 1  wherein said housing includes a cover openable for inserting a toilet paper roll therein and closeable for blocking a user's view of the toilet paper rolls supported by the reserve slots.  
     
     
         3 . The toilet roll dispenser of  claim 1  wherein said housing includes a first pair of reserve tracks and a second pair of reserve tracks, each of said pair of tracks for supporting a toilet paper roll in an out-of-the-way condition.  
     
     
         4 . The toilet roll dispenser of  claim 1  wherein the dispensing end of the first sidewall and the dispensing end of the second sidewall includes a distance therebetween sufficient to support the rollers therein while also permitting the rollers to be pivotally removable from said dispensing ends.  
     
     
         5 . The toilet roll dispenser of  claim 1  wherein said toilet roll dispenser comprises a wood base material.  
     
     
         6 . The toilet roll dispenser of  claim 1  wherein said toilet roll dispenser comprises a plastic, metal, or any moldable material.  
     
     
         7 . The toilet roll dispenser of  claim 1  wherein said toilet roll dispenser includes an attachment member surrounding said toilet roll dispenser for fixingly mounting said toilet roll dispenser to a wall surface.  
     
     
         8 . The toilet roll dispenser of  claim 1  wherein a force of gravity maintains the roller supported by the dispensing end of the tracks in a dispensing condition.  
     
     
         9 . The toilet roll dispenser of  claim 1  wherein the tracks angle downward to confine the roller supported by the dispensing end of the tracks in the dispensing condition.  
     
     
         10 . The toilet roll dispenser of  claim 1  wherein the reserve tracks angle downward to confine the further toilet paper roll in the out-of-the-way condition and the spaced condition.  
     
     
         11 . A toilet roll dispenser comprising: 
 a housing having a top member, a bottom member, a back wall, and a first sidewall and a second sidewall; said sidewalls each having a track running parallel to each other for guiding a toilet paper roll supported by a roller from a receiving end of said tracks through said dispenser and into a dispensing end of said tracks wherein a distance between the dispensing ends is sufficiently long to support the rollers therein while also permitting the rollers to be pivotally removable from said dispensing ends; and    at least one pair of reserve tracks comprising of a first rack branching from the track of the first sidewall and a second track branching off from the track of the second sidewall with the reserve tracks located parallel to each other for supporting a further toilet paper roll in an out of the way condition so that all the toilet paper rolls supported by said housing are spaced from each other.    
     
     
         12 . The toilet roll dispenser of  claim 11  wherein said housing includes a cover openable for inserting a toilet paper roll therein and closeable for blocking a user's view of the toilet paper rolls supported by the reserve tracks.  
     
     
         13 . The toilet roll dispenser of  claim 11  wherein said housing includes a first pair of reserve tracks, a second pair of reserve track, and a third pair of reserve tracks, the reserve tracks for supporting toilet paper rolls within said housing so that all of the toilet paper rolls are spaced from each other.  
     
     
         14 . The toilet roll dispenser of  claim 11  wherein said toilet roll dispenser comprises a wood base material.  
     
     
         15 . The toilet roll dispenser of  claim 11  wherein said toilet roll dispenser comprises a plastic, metal, or a moldable material.  
     
     
         16 . The toilet roll dispenser of claim  1 I wherein said toilet roll dispenser includes an attachment member surrounding said toilet roll dispenser for fixingly mounting said toilet roll dispenser to a wall surface.  
     
     
         17 . The toilet roll dispenser of  claim 11  wherein the rollers are held in a horizontal condition.  
     
     
         18 . The toilet roll dispenser of  claim 11  wherein the tracks angle downward to confine the roller at the dispensing end of the tracks.  
     
     
         19 . The toilet roll dispenser of  claim 12  wherein said cover comprises at least one door openable for inserting a toilet paper roll therein and closeable for blocking a user's view of the toilet paper rolls supported by the reserve tracks.  
     
     
         20 . A dispenser for supporting multiple rolls of toilet paper comprising:
