Benefits of technology

[0005]An embodiment of the invention is a device to restrain the unwinding of a roll of paper for use in combination with a paper dispenser is disclosed. The paper dispenser is conventional as it includes a back plate mountable upon a wall, a pair of opposed side plates extending from the back plate for rotatably supporting a roll of paper having a depending lead sheet. The restraining device comprises a base portion mountable to the wall and a

Problems solved by technology

While these devices fulfill their respective, particular objectives and requirements, a problem with such toilet paper dispensers is waste associated with toilet paper.
This waste may be caused by the unintentional removal of excessive amounts of paper from the roll caused by roll runaway.
However, they are not as desirable for residential or commercial buildings where the risk of such abuse is low.

Embodiment Construction

[0014]Referring now in detail to the various figures of the drawings wherein like reference characters refer to like parts, there is shown at 10 in FIGS. 1 and 2, a toilet paper roll holder of conventional design. The toilet paper roll holder 10 includes a back support 14 mountable to a support surface 18, e.g., a wall, by conventional means, e.g., a strip of adhesive material (not shown). Alternatively, the back support 14 may connect to the wall 18 with screws, pins, slide connections, glue, or other conventional types of connection methods. It is understood that although the back support 14 is shown as a rectangular plate (e.g., FIG. 2), it may have other geometric shapes, and it may be other than flat and still be within the scope of the present invention.

[0015]Extending perpendicularly and laterally from the back support 14 is a pair of opposed side plates 22 which are secured to the back plate 14 in any appropriate fashion. Each side plate 22 includes a free end having a socke...

Abstract

A device to restrain the unwinding of a roll of paper for use in combination with a paper dispenser is disclosed. The paper dispenser includes a back plate mountable upon a wall, a pair of opposed side plates extending from the back plate for rotatably supporting a roll of paper having a depending lead sheet. The restraining device comprises a base portion mountable to the wall and a support arm extending laterally from the base portion over the roll of paper. The support arm includes a collar located at its free end, the collar including a central opening. The roll braking arm is oriented substantially vertically and extends through the central opening of the support arm. The roll braking arm contacts and applies its weight as a braking force against the roll of paper to restrain the roll of paper from unwinding unnecessarily.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]The present invention relates generally to dispensers for paper such as toilet paper, and more particularly, to devices to restrain and control the unwinding of a roll of toilet paper during use or otherwise.BACKGROUND OF INVENTION[0002]The use of toilet paper dispensers is known in the prior art. More specifically, toilet paper dispensers heretofore devised and utilized are known to consist basically of familiar, expected and obvious structural configurations, notwithstanding the myriad of designs encompassed by the prior art which have been developed for the fulfillment of countless objectives and requirements. While these devices fulfill their respective, particular objectives and requirements, a problem with such toilet paper dispensers is waste associated with toilet paper. This waste may be caused by the unintentional removal of excessive amounts of paper from the roll caused by roll runaway.[0003]The unintentional removal of excessive amounts of pa...
