Disposable dispensing apparatus for paper towels

Abstract

An disposable paper towel dispensing apparatus 10 is provided in combination with a paper towel roll 12 . The disposable paper towel dispensing apparatus if this invention includes a circularly shaped base support member comprised of a disposable material having a guide slot 20 formed therein. An elongated vertically extending member 24 comprised of the same disposable material is coupled at one end 26 thereof to the middle of the circularly shaped base support member with the paper towel roll 12 formed therearound in a vertical upright position. An upper coupling member 32 comprised of the disposable material couplingly engages the uppermost portion 36 of the vertically extending member 24 thereby allowing the paper towel roll 12 to be held in a predetermined position so that the paper towel can be selectively dispensed through the guide slot until the roll is depleted and the dispenser can thereafter be depleted.

What is claimed: 
     
         1 . A disposable paper towel dispensing apparatus in combination with a paper towel roll comprising:
 a circularly shaped light weight base support member comprised of a lightweight disposable plastic material, having a guide slot formed therein;   an elongated vertically extending member comprised of the same disposable light weight plastic material as used for the base support member, the elongated vertically extending member being coupled at a lowermost portion thereof to a central portion of the bottom wall member of the base support member;   a paper towel roll supported on and formed around the vertically extending member to rotate and unwind thereon about an axis thereof of the vertically extending member in a predetermined manner; and   a coupling member, being, comprised of the disposable light weight plastic material for couplingly securing the paper towel roll in a predetermined position on the vertically extending member so that the paper towel can be selectively pulled by outermost end portions thereof through the guide slot and dispensed until depleted so that the dispenser can thereafter be discarded.   
     
     
         2 . A disposable paper towel dispensing apparatus in combination with a paper towel roll as defined in  claim 1  wherein the base support member includes a circular shaped bottom wall member and
 an upstanding circularly shaped wall member having, the guide slot formed therein whereby the upstanding circularly shaped wall member is coupled to outermost portions of the bottom wall member. 
 
     
     
         3 . A disposable paper towel dispensing apparatus in combination with a paper towel roll as defined in  claim 2  wherein the coupling member includes:
 an outwardly projecting threaded member formed around an uppermost portion of the vertically extending member; 
 a planar shaped member; and 
 a cylindrically shaped member formed with the planar shaped member having threaded indentations formed therein which interacts with the outwardly projecting threaded member to coupling secure the paper towel roll in a predetermined position on the vertically extending member. 
 
     
     
         4 . A disposable paper towel dispensing apparatus in combination with a paper towel roll comprising:
 a rectangularly shaped base support member comprised of a light weight disposable plastic material having a guide slot formed therein;   an elongated vertically extending member,   comprised of a disposable light weight plastic material coupled at a lowermost portions thereof to a central portion of the bottom wall member of the base support member;   a paper towel roll formed around the vertically extending member to rotate and unwind thereon about an axis thereof of the vertically extending member in a predetermined manner; and   a coupling member, comprised of a disposable light weight plastic material, for couplingly securing the paper towel roll in a predetermined position on the vertically extending member so that the paper towel can be selectively pulled by outermost portions thereof through the guide slot and dispensed until depleted and so that the dispenser can thereafter be discarded.   
     
     
         5 . A disposable paper towel dispensing apparatus in combination with a paper towel roll as defined in  claim 4  wherein the base support member includes a rectangularly shaped bottom wall member; and
 An upstanding rectangularly shaped wall member, having the guide slot formed therein whereby the upstanding rectangularly shaped wall member is coupled to outermost portions of the bottom wall member. 
 
     
     
         6 . An disposable paper towel dispensing apparatus in combination with a paper towel roll as defined in  claim 5  wherein the coupling member includes:
 an outwardly projecting threaded member formed on uppermost of the vertically extending member; 
 a planar shaped member; and 
 a cylindrically shaped member formed with the planar shaped member having threaded indentations formed therein which interact with the outwardly projecting threaded member to couplingly secure the paper towel roll in a predetermined [position on the vertically extending member. 
 
     
     
         7 . An disposable paper towel dispensing apparatus in combination with a paper towel roll comprising:
 a front planar shaped wall member comprised of a disposable light weight plastic material having a guide slot formed therein;   a first planar shaped side wall member comprised of a disposable light weight plastic material coupled to the outermost portions of the front wall member;   a second planar shaped side wall member comprised of a disposable light weight plastic material coupled to outermost portions of the front wall member;   a bottom planar shaped wall member comprised of a disposable lightweight plastic material coupled to the lowermost portions of the front and side wall members;   a slotted ridge formed on uppermost portions of the front, first and second wall side wall members;   a top planar shaped wall member; and   a back planar shaped wall member, the top wall member being coupled at an outermost back portion thereof to an uppermost portion of the back portion thereof to an uppermost portion of the back wall member, outermost portions of the top wall member being aligned in the slotted ridges to couplingly engage the top and back walls to the walls so that the paper towel roll is supported therebetween to be pulled through the slot and selectively guided by outermost end portions thereof through the slot and dispensed until depleted and so that the dispenser can thereafter be discarded.
