Abstract

A tissue roll mount is conformed for convenient assembly by providing internal pivot seats subjacent the lower interior edges of each one of two opposed openings formed in the roll supporting arms. Each one of the pivot seats forming a pair is spaced relative the other by a dimension that is smaller than the spacing between the pivots at the ends of cantilevered pivot arms aligned along the vertical edges of a set of opposed pivotal mounts to capture the ends of the arms therein. A block of open-celled resilient foam is then inserted in each arm for capture in compression against the corresponding pivot mount.

1 . In a tissue roll mount assembly characterized by a generally hollow frame defined by an upper and a lower shell joined to each other at the peripheries thereof to form an elongate central portion connected at each end to an orthogonally aligned arm extending in cantilever, each said arm including a face surface aligned in opposition to each other and including opposed openings therein provided with pivotal mounts spaced relative each other for receipt in the interior of a tissue roll and including planar shields bridging across corresponding ones of said opposed openings, the improvement comprising:
 said lower shell further including a pair of spaced apart pivot seats formed within each arm interior subjacent the lower edges of each said opening;   each said pivotal mount includes a pair of cantilevered pivot extensions aligned adjacent the lateral edges of said planar shields each terminating in a pivot spaced for compressive receipt within the corresponding ones of said pivot seats; and   a pair of blocks of resiliently compressible material compressed within said lower shell within each said arm and against the corresponding one of said pivot mounts.   
   
   
       2 . Apparatus according to  claim 1 , further comprising:
 a set of partial walls formed in each said arm interior of said lower shell to contain the corresponding one of said blocks therebetween.   
   
   
       3 . Apparatus according to  claim 2 , wherein:
 each said resilient block comprises an open celled polymeric material structure.   
   
   
       4 . Apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein:
 each said seat includes a distally spaced end cap; and   each said pivot includes an exteriorly directed chamfered edge spaced for compressive receipt between said distally spaced end caps.   
   
   
       5 . Apparatus according to  claim 4 , further comprising:
 a set of partial walls formed in each said arm interior of said lower shell to contain the corresponding one of said blocks therebetween.   
   
   
       6 . Apparatus according to  claim 5  wherein:
 each said resilient block comprises an open celled polymeric material structure.   
   
   
       7 . In a tissue roll mount assembly characterized by a generally hollow frame defined by an upper and a lower shell conformed for joining each other to form a common interior including an elongate central portion connected at each end to an orthogonally aligned arm extending in cantilever on one side of said central portion, each said arm including a face surface aligned in opposition to each other and including a set of opposed openings therein provided with pivotal mounts spaced relative each other for receipt in the interior of a tissue roll and including planar shields bridging across corresponding ones of said opposed openings, the improvement comprising:
 said lower shell further including a pair of spaced apart pivot seats formed within each arm interior subjacent the lower edges of each said opening and a set of spaced apart partial walls extending thereacross;   each said pivotal mount includes a pair of cantilevered pivot extensions aligned adjacent the lateral edges of said planar shields each terminating in a pivot spaced for compressive receipt within the corresponding ones of said pivot seats; and   a pair of blocks of resiliently compressible open celled polymeric material compressed within said lower shell within each said arm and against the corresponding one of said pivot mounts between said partial walls.   
   
   
       8 . Apparatus according to  claim 7 , wherein:
 each said seat includes a distally spaced end cap.   
   
   
       9 . Apparatus according to  claim 8 , wherein:
 each said pivot includes an exteriorly directed chamfered edge spaced for compressive receipt between said distally spaced end caps.   
   
   
       10 . Apparatus according to  claim 7 , wherein:
 said pivotal mounts and said blocks are conformed for installation in said lower shell prior to the joining thereof to said upper shell.   
   
   
       11 . Apparatus according to  claim 10 , wherein:
 each said seat includes a distally spaced end cap.   
   
   
       12 . Apparatus according to  claim 11 , wherein:
 each said pivot includes an exteriorly directed chamfered edge spaced for compressive receipt between said distally spaced end caps.
