Abstract

An automatic toilet paper dispenser, including a wall mounted container, including a container body disposed on at least a portion of an external surface to store a roll of toilet paper therein, and a dispensing aperture disposed on at least a portion of the container body to facilitate extraction of at least one sheet of the roll of toilet paper therefrom, a motion sensor disposed on at least a portion of the container body to detect movement by a user within a predetermined proximity, and a motor disposed within at least a portion of the container body to automatically extract the at least one sheet of the roll of toilet paper through the dispensing aperture in response to the motion sensor detecting movement by the user.

1 . An automatic toilet paper dispenser, comprising:
 a wall mounted container, comprising:
 a container body disposed on at least a portion of an external surface to store a roll of toilet paper therein, and 
 a dispensing aperture disposed on at least a portion of the container body to facilitate extraction of at least one sheet of the roll of toilet paper therefrom; 
   a motion sensor disposed on at least a portion of the container body to detect movement by a user within a predetermined proximity; and   a motor disposed within at least a portion of the container body to automatically extract the at least one sheet of the roll of toilet paper through the dispensing aperture in response to the motion sensor detecting movement by the user.   
     
     
         2 . The automatic toilet paper dispenser of  claim 1 , wherein the dispensing aperture has a size corresponding to a size of the at least one sheet of the roll of toilet paper.
