Singlehandedly operated dispenser for rolled sheets of paper
Abstract
The present invention refers to the singlehandedly operated dispenser for rolled sheets of paper for perforated and unperforated paper sheets alike. The spindle with roll of paper placed over-handedly is moving down and against the back wall along the chutes in the form of elongated slots, grooves or tabs in side walls and providing continuous contact of the outside surface of the paper roll with the back wall covered by antiskid layer, and thus keeping the roll of paper immobilized and in fixed position against the back wall, and preventing run-off when the amount of paper on the roll is getting smaller. Drawing sheet of paper upward from the roll disengages the roll from the back wall, while drawing downward increases engagement of the outside surface of the roll with back wall that allows separating the required length from the roll leaving previously separated edge on top of the roll for easy access at next draw.
Claims
exact text as granted — not AI-modifiedWhat is claimed is:
1 .- 20 . (canceled)
21 . A dispenser apparatus for singlehandedly dispensing a desired length of a rolled paper from a paper roll, comprising:
a. a dispenser base with a flat rectangular back wall of a width predetermined by a width of said paper roll, wherein two side walls are protruding from both shorter sides of the said back wall in the right angle in the same direction, wherein said back wall provide an attaching means allowing to place said base on a vertical surface, wherein each said side wall has a chute means to move said paper roll down and against said back wall, and wherein each said side wall has a stopper means to allow a full size of said paper roll to fit and freely rotate inside said dispenser base, and also to prevent disconnection of said paper roll from said dispenser body when the paper is drawn up from said roll with excessive force, wherein said chute means and said stopper means are either added, cut, formed, carved or machined as tabs, grooves, or slots in various materials ranging from metal, plastics, wood or glass and ceramics; b. an antiskid layer incorporated into said back wall of said dispenser base, whereby said antiskid layer immobilizes the roll of paper whenever said paper roll interacts with said back wall; c. a spindle comprising a cylindrical body of a paper holder that fits inside a core of said paper roll placed over-handedly on said paper holder, wherein axles are placed at the ends of said paper holder, wherein said axles are fixed or removable, and wherein diameters of said axles are smaller, or equal the diameter of said paper holder, and wherein the lengths of said axles are predetermined by a size of said chute means, whereby said spindle moves along said chute means.
22 . The dispenser for rolled paper of claim 21 , wherein said chute means of said dispenser base are formed as grooves in said side walls or tabs that extend inward towards each other, and wherein said grooves or said tabs are tilted downward to said back wall while opened at the top edge of said side walls, whereby spindle means, having either fixed or peripheral axles, and said chute means assure single-handedly dispensing of sheets from rolled paper.
23 . The dispenser for rolled paper of claim 21 , wherein said chute means of said dispenser base are formed as closed elongated cutouts that are tilted downward to said back wall, whereby spindle means, having removable axles, and said chute means assure single-handedly dispensing of sheets from rolled paper.
24 . The dispenser for rolled paper of claim 21 , wherein said spindle means with said paper roll placed over-handedly moves gravitationally along the said chute means and keeps an outside surface of said paper roll immobilized against said antiskid layer of said back wall independently of an amount of paper remaining on said roll, wherein downward pull on length of said rolled paper causes said paper roll to move farther down along the chute means and closer to said antiskid layer of said back wall, increase friction between said paper and said antiskid layer of said back wall and thus eliminate rotation of said paper roll, whereby said increased friction constitutes singlehandedly dispensing operation, and wherein an edge of said paper remaining on said roll stays on top of said paper roll being easily accessible for a next draw.Join the waitlist — get patent alerts
