Toilet paper dispenser and folder system

Abstract

A toilet paper dispenser and folder system has a frame subassembly having front and rear parallel panels, an upper feeder roller and a lower feeder roller. Each panel has a large aperture and a paper roll holder aperture and a lower roller aperture and an upper roller slot. A paper rotation subassembly has a cylindrical housing with a cutting edge and a guide, and roller arm and a backplate. A pulley subassembly has a rotator bolt with two threaded ends and a bushing and threaded nuts and larger and smaller pulleys each with a central hole, and a belt between the pulleys.

1. A toilet paper dispenser and folder system for dispensing a variety of paper strip lengths in a folded configuration and in a sanitary and efficient manner, said system comprising, in combination; :
 a frame sub  assembly having a front panel and a parallel rear panel, each panel having a rectilinear configuration, with each panel having a large aperture and a  paper roll holder aperture and a lower roller aperture and  and a front panel with an upper roller slot with the panels being coupled by a dowel-like toilet paper roll holder coupled in each of the paper roll holder apertures, the frame subassembly also having an upper feeder roller and a lower feeder roller, with the lower feeder roller having a thread on one end and being disposed between and coupled to the panels, the lower feeder roller coupling to the lower roller apertures with a bushing on each of the panels thereby rotating freely and with the upper feeder roller ends being slidably accommodated into the slots of each of the panels, by gravity the upper and lower feeder rollers touch each other thus a rotation by the lower feeder roller results in a counter rotation of the upper feeder roller creating a pulling action;  aperture; 
 a paper rotation subassembly having a cylindrical housing and a roller arm and a backplate, the cylindrical housing being fabricated of a rigid material having a hollow cylindrical configuration having a cutting edge and a guide, and the roller arm having a bolt hole through the middle and being located within the cylindrical housing and having a generally slightly curved U-shaped configuration, and backplate being flat and circular with a centrally located shaft hole; and  
 a pulley subassembly having a rotator bolt with two threaded ends and a bushing and a plurality of threaded nuts and a larger pulley with a central hole and a smaller pulley with a central hole and a pulley belt, with the rotator bolt being coupled to the roller arm with a pair of threaded nuts, and with the rotator bolt being coupled to the backplate with a bushing and a pair of threaded nuts, thereby rotating freely, the larger pulley being coupled to the rotator bolt with a pair of threaded nuts, the smaller pulley being coupled to the lower roller with a pair of threaded nuts and the pulleys being coupled and driven by the pulley belt whereby a user may rotate the roller arm clockwise and pull the paper from the roll, between the feeder rollers into the spool and onto the arm to achieve the desired plurality of layers whereby the arm rotation is reversed and the paper is cut and then removed through the aperture in the front panel.  a first feeder roller and a second feeder roller arranged in the frame assembly in adjacent parallel relationship to form a nip between them;  
   a paper strip winder arranged in the frame assembly behind the front panel, and having a pair of opposed, parallel paper receiving surfaces upon which the paper strip may be wound to create a plurality of layers; and    
   a roller driver capable of cooperatively rotating said paper strip winder and at least one of the first and second feeder rollers so as to create a pulling action for a paper strip disposed in said nip,    
   said paper strip winder being rotatable about an axis thereof which is substantially parallel to said paper receiving surfaces,    
   said frame assembly further comprising a cylinder coaxially disposed on said axis and disposed adjacent to the aperture in the front panel and surrounding the paper receiving surfaces in close proximity for retaining the paper strip on the receiving surfaces, said cylinder having an opening in a side extending parallel to a central cylinder axis for insertion of the paper strip, one side edge of the opening having a cutting edge,    
   said feeder rollers being located outside the cylinder,    
   said dispenser being operative to draw the paper strip from a paper roll in said paper roll holder, between the feeder rollers and onto the receiving surfaces of the paper strip winder, to form the desired plurality of layers, whereby the paper strip may be severed by the cutting edge between the paper roll and the layers, and may be removed through the aperture in the front panel.   
 
     
     
       2. A toilet paper dispenser and folder system comprising;
 a frame subassembly having a front panel and a parallel rear panel each having a large aperture and a paper roll holder aperture and a lower roller aperture and an upper roller slot, the frame subassembly also having an upper feeder roller and a lower feeder roller;    a paper rotation subassembly having a cylindrical housing with a cutting edge and a guide, a rotatable roller arm located within the cylindrical housing and in close proximity to the wall thereof, and a backplate fastened to the roller arm, the feeder rollers being located outside of the cylindrical housing; and    a pulley subassembly connecting one of the feeder rollers and the roller arm and having a rotator bolt with two threaded ends and a bushing and a plurality of threaded nuts and a larger pulley with a central hole and a smaller pulley with a central hole and a pulley belt there between.    
     
     
       3. The system as set forth in  claim 2  whereby a user may rotate the roller arm clockwise and pull the paper from the roll, between the feeder rollers into the cylindrical housing and onto the arm to achieve the desired plurality of layers whereby the arm rotation is reversed and the paper is cut and then removed through the aperture in the front panel. 
     
     
       4. The system as set forth in  claim 2  wherein the roller arm has a bolt hole through the middle and has a generally slightly curved U-shaped configuration.
