Benefits of technology

[0008] Therefore, the object of the present invention is to provide a tissue paper dispenser for dispensing separated sheets of tissue paper, which has a simplified construction, and which allows for easy and smooth dispensing of tissue paper.

Problems solved by technology

However, the user's hand may contaminate the tissue paper remaining in the box upon retrieval.
Besides, it is not easy to retrieve the toilet paper from the stack.
As illustrated, the conventional paper dispenser is complicated in construction, and has a large number of components.
Furthermore, the frictional resistance provided by the rollers 824 is relatively inferior so that the dispensing of paper is not smooth.
Thus, dust and other matter may easily enter into the receiving space 814 to contaminate the toilet paper therein.
However, they are also complicated in construction and do not provide a satisfactory tissue paper dispensing effect.

Embodiment Construction

[0022] Before the present invention is described in greater detail, it should be noted that like elements are denoted by the same reference numerals throughout the disclosure.

[0023] Referring to FIGS. 1 and 2, the first preferred embodiment of a tissue paper dispenser according to the present invention is shown to be adapted for dispensing sheets of tissue paper from a stack 9 of separated sheets of tissue paper, the stack including a leading sheet (9A), a succeeding sheet (9B) that is in contact with the leading sheet (9A) by a first friction force, and a last sheet (9N) that is opposite to the leading sheet (9A) in a depleting direction. The tissue paper dispenser includes a holding member 2, an actuator 43, and a guiding member 4.

[0024] The holding member 2 confines a receiving space 23 for holding the stack 9, and includes a standby abutment wall 21, a front major wall 22, a rear wall 20 opposite to the front major wall 22 in a longitudinal direction transverse to the depletin...

Abstract

A tissue paper dispenser includes a holding member for holding a stack of separated sheets of tissue paper and having an access opening and a dispensing slot, and an actuator including an actuating member terminating at an enlarged dragging portion contacting a leading sheet of the stack with a friction force, a shifted member operable to move the dragging portion between standby and ready-to-dispense positions, and a key confronting the access opening and interposed between the actuating member and the shifted member. A guiding member is disposed on the holding member, and has a keyway to guide the key to move between initial and end regions along forward and backward paths. The keyway is configured such that the friction force between the dragging portion and the leading sheet is instantly decreased when the key reaches the end region by following the forward path.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0001] 1. Field of the Invention [0002] The invention relates to a tissue paper dispenser, more particularly to a tissue paper dispenser for dispensing separated sheets of tissue paper. [0003] 2. Description of the Related Art [0004] Toilet paper is generally available in rolls and in packs of interfolded sheets. Toilet paper is also available in flat packs of separated single-ply sheets. The sheets are usually placed in a stack in a box for retrieval. In use, a user takes a desired number of sheets from the box. However, the user's hand may contaminate the tissue paper remaining in the box upon retrieval. Besides, it is not easy to retrieve the toilet paper from the stack. [0005] Taiwanese Publication No. 355346 is directed to a dispensing device for dispensing separated sheets of toilet paper. Referring to FIGS. 10 and 11, the dispensing device 8 includes a paper holder 81, a dispensing member 82 mounted on a top wall 811 of the paper holder 81, and a r...
