Dispensing unit for a bathroom

Abstract

A dispensing unit for a bathroom that can be mounted on or encased into a wall, has a body comprised of a front panel, two lateral sides, a back side, a bottom side, an openable top lid, a removable bin and a porthole for accessing toilet paper wherein there is a lever for actuating a toilet paper releasing mechanism. A plurality of silos located along the length of the back panel wherein at least one of the plurality of silos is configured and sized for holding a plurality of toilet paper roll. A lever slit and an opening for passing the activation lever are also present on the front panel. The toilet paper releasing mechanism further comprised of a pair of modules wherein each module is a mirror image of the other module and each module shares a single bar which is itself actuated by a lever actuated by an intended user wherein when the bar is lowered it pushes down push members which push nipples which entrain casters attached to a plank guided by tracks diagonally downward to a lowered position so as to move pins laterally and downwardly such that a roll of toilet paper and a core portion are released. The core portion falling into a bin by way of a bin opening while simultaneously, another roll is released and falls down to be trapped by the pins.

1 . A dispensing unit for a bathroom that can be mounted on or encased into a wall, has a body comprised of a front panel, two lateral sides, a back side, a bottom side, an openable top lid, a removable bin and a porthole for accessing toilet paper wherein there is a lever for actuating a toilet paper releasing mechanism; a plurality of silos located along the length of the back panel wherein at least one of the plurality of silos is configured and sized for holding a plurality of toilet paper rolls; a lever slit and an opening for passing the activation lever are also present on the front panel; the toilet paper releasing mechanism further comprised of a pair of modules wherein each module is a mirror image of the other module and each module shares a single bar which is itself actuated by a lever actuated by an intended user wherein when the bar is lowered it pushes down push members which push nipples which entrain casters attached to a plank guided by tracks diagonally downward to a lowered position so as to move pins laterally and downwardly such that a roll of toilet paper and a core portion are released; the core portion falling into a bin by way of a bin opening while simultaneously, all the toilet paper rolls drop down until a lowermost toilet paper roll is blocked by the bin opening being sized to only pass a core portion; upon release of the lever, the plank is brought back to its upward position by way of a means for biasing which brings back the set of pins so that the two lowermost toilet paper rolls are trapped by the set of pins which grab and lift the toilet paper rolls in such a way that the lowermost toilet paper roll no longer touches the area around the bin opening and the toilet paper roll above it is also raised so that there is no contact between the toilet paper roll and the lowermost toilet paper roll.
