Bathroom tissue dispenser
Abstract
A bathroom tissue dispenser for dispensing wet and dry tissues may be designed to fit a standard sized bathroom tissue roll holder. The dispenser includes a housing, which is substantially cylindrical in shape, and includes an area for the wet tissues. The housing may couple to an end cap on one side, and a spring cap on the other side. A spring is placed under pressure between the housing and spring cap. Nubs on the end cap and spring cap may then engage a standard toiletpaper holder. The end cap may be substantially disk shaped and may include a re-sealable port on the outside edge of the disk shaped end cap. The wet tissues may extend from the housing, through the end cap and out the port. Additionally, a weight may be present in the bottom of the end cap, thereby ensuring the port is horizontally oriented and easily accessed.
