Problems solved by technology

However, this type of dispenser relies on precise settings, depending on the thickness of the sheet product and / or the compression level of the stack
Furthermore, this type of dispenser requires difficult adjustments in order to vary the predetermined amount of sheet product to be dispensed and is therefore often used to always dispense the same amount of sheet product

Embodiment Construction

[0065] figure 1 An embodiment of a dispenser 1 is shown. The dispenser 1 comprises a housing 40 defining an internal volume for containing a stack of sheet products 10 . The sheet product can be interfolded and can be a napkin. More generally, sheet products have a wiping function. Housing 40 is provided on top of stand 5 having feet for positioning on a horizontal surface such as a counter top. The housing 40 includes a distal wall defining a support surface for the stack 10 , side walls for receiving the stack 10 laterally, and a proximal wall 8 for preventing the stack 10 from falling towards the user. In the embodiment shown the front wall 8 comprises a door which opens about a hinge 7 to allow the stack 10 to be filled. In an alternative embodiment, the front wall shown may optionally include a channel extending in the stacking direction instead of a door to allow a user to reach into the interior volume defined by the housing 40 . The housing 40 is open at the top (...

Abstract

A dispenser is disclosed that includes a housing defining an interior volume for receiving a stack of sheet products, an actuator, a dispensing member, a roller, and a support structure for engaging a front face of the stack including opposed shelves for supporting opposed sides of the front face. 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 roller 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 depending upon which of the user interface ledges is actuated, 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.

Description

technical field [0001] The present disclosure relates to a dispenser configured to receive and dispense stacks of sheet products. Background technique [0002] Existing sheet product dispensers in which a sheet product is dispensed from a product housing through a dispensing opening. Examples of known types of sheet products are hand towels, toilet paper, napkins, paper napkins, and other wiping products in sheet form. A problem with such dispensers is that the user may take more product than needed, resulting in waste. [0003] For that purpose, dispensers are known which dispense predetermined quantities of sheet products. However, this type of dispenser relies on precise settings, depending on the thickness of the sheet product and / or the compression level of the stack. Furthermore, dispensers of this type require difficult adjustments in order to vary the predetermined quantity of sheet product to be dispensed and are therefore often used to always dispense the same q...
