Abstract:
A cover, carriage, or faceplate for a napkin dispenser is provided. The cover, faceplate or carriage defines one or more pick zones that facilitate manual extraction of different numbers of multiple napkins from the dispenser during each dispensing event. Preferably, the cover, carriage or faceplate cooperates with a container configured to receive a stack of napkins and is maintained adjacent an end or edge of the stack. More preferably, the cover, faceplate or carriage is configured to cooperate with containers having various shapes and/or configured for countertop, hanging, or in-counter implementation of the container to allow retrofitting of currently available single quantity dispensing napkin dispensers.
Abstract:
A dispenser (2) for dispensing a sheet of web material from a stack of folded web material is provided. The dispenser (2) comprises: a housing (4) arranged to be positioned along a vertical direction (12), a dispensing arrangement (14) including a dispensing opening (8) for the web material in the housing (4), and a web material storage section (16) inside the housing (4) arranged to hold and support the stack of folded web material. The web material storage section (16) comprises an upper end portion (18) and opposite thereto a lower end portion (20), and a stack supporting surface. The web material is arranged to be lead to the dispensing arrangement (14) from the upper end portion (18) and the stack of folded web material is arranged to be supported by the stack supporting surface. The dispenser (2) comprises a supporting arrangement (72) for supporting, at least temporarily, the stack of folded web material at a distance from the stack supporting surface.
Abstract:
A dispenser, comprising a housing defining an interior volume for receiving a stack (10) of sheet products. The dispenser comprises an actuator (2) and a dispensing member (3), wherein the actuator is operable by a user to activate a dispensing member to dispense a desired number of sheet products. The actuator includes two or more user interfaces that a user can actuate to transmit to the dispensing member an amount of movement corresponding to different numbers of sheet products being dispensed depending upon which of the user interfaces is actuated. The dispenser comprises a support structure for engaging a front face of the stack including opposed shelves for supporting opposed sides of the front face of the stack. A roller (15) of the dispensing member is located between the opposed shelves and engages and grips on the front face of the stack. The actuator imparts a predetermined amount of rotation to the roller, which causes the roller to separate one or more sheet products at the front face of the stack in a one-at-a-time fashion. A different amount of rotation is imparted to the roller depending upon which of the user interface ledges is actuated, thereby allowing selection of different numbers of sheet products to be dispensed.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a separation unit for separating a web material along preformed lines of weakness. The separation unit has a width direction and comprises at least a first roller having a rotational axis extending in the width direction and a web width extending in the width direction, and at least a second roller having a rotational axis extending parallel with the rotational axis of the first roller and a web width extending in the width direction. The second roller is positioned at a distance from the first roller, the distance extending in a direction perpendicular to the width direction. Each of the first and the second rollers is provided with at least one protrusion element extending perpendicularly from the axes. Each of the protrusion elements has a maximum width in the width direction, a maximum radial extension from the rotational axes, an inner portion adjacent to the rotational axes, and an outer portion remote from the rotational axes. The outer portions of the protrusion elements on the first roller are arranged in a staggered relationship with the outer portions of the protrusion elements on the second roller such that the outer portions of the protrusion elements on the first roller are partially overlapping with the outer portions of the protrusion elements on the second roller with a radial overlap length, thus forming an undulating passage for a web material between the rollers. The radial overlap length is between 2-40 mm, preferably 2-20 mm, more preferably 3-12 mm, or most preferably between 4-10 mm.

Abstract:
A wipe dispenser includes a housing having a chamber configured to contain a stack of wet wipes, a dispensing slot in the housing and in communication with the chamber to allow a feed of the wet wipes to exit the chamber, a proximity sensor responsive to an indication from a user to generate a signal to trigger dispensation of a sequential wet wipe in the feed of the wet wipes, and a nip roller positioned adjacent the dispensing slot to engage the sequential wet wipe to advance the feed through the dispensing slot in accordance with the trigger signal from the proximity sensor. The proximity sensor is configured to determine whether the user indication is within a predetermined distance of the proximity sensor to advance the feed for the dispensation of the sequential wet wipe without requiring user contact with the wipe dispenser.
Abstract:
A dispensing device (10) to facilitate ready removal of interfolded sheet material from a dispenser (48), including a base portion (12) with a moveable support member (14), the moveable support member (14) in operative communication with a lifting means (18), arranged to support a stack of interfolded sheet material, the lifting means (18) progressively urging the support member (14) and interfolded sheet material towards an aperture (50) in the upper surface of the dispenser as discrete sheets are successively removed.
Abstract:
An apparatus for dispensing paper product stacked along a stacking dimension includes a housing for holding the stack of paper product and having a longitudinal dimension associated with the stacking dimension. The movable ejector is located adjacent the housing and is configured to contact paper product at an end of the stack. Movement of the ejector is effective to slide paper product at the end of the stack, relative to a remainder of the stack, in a dispensing direction, to thereby dispense paper product from the housing. A first restrictor in the housing is configured to exert a force on the stack in a first restricting direction transverse to the dispensing direction, with the first restrictor being spaced from the ejector, in the longitudinal dimension, by a first distance.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a separation unit for separating a web material along preformed lines of weakness. The separation unit has a width direction and comprises a first roller arrangement having a rotational axis extending in the width direction and a web width extending in said width direction, and a second roller arrangement having a rotational axis extending parallel with the rotational axis of the first roller arrangement and a web width extending in said width direction. The second roller arrangement is positioned at a distance from the first roller arrangement, the distance extending in a direction perpendicular to the width direction. Each of the first and the second roller arrangements is provided with a plurality of protrusion elements arranged with a spacing along the rotational axes and protruding perpendicularly from the axes. Each of the protrusion elements has a maximum width in the width direction, a maximum radial extension from the rotational axes, an inner portion adjacent to the rotational axes, and an outer portion remote from the rotational axes. The outer portions of the protrusion elements on the first roller arrangement are arranged in a staggered relationship with the outer portions of the protrusion elements on the second roller arrangement such that the outer portions of the protrusion elements on the first roller arrangement are partially overlapping with the outer portions of the protrusion elements on the second roller arrangement with a radial overlap length, thus forming an undulating passage for a web material between said rollers. Each of the first and second roller arrangements has a central portion and peripheral portions in said width direction. For the first roller arrangement the spacing between the protrusion elements is greater in the central portion than in the peripheral portions.
