Abstract: A bathroom tissue dispenser for holding both a large fresh roll and a remnant roll of bathroom tissues. The dispenser has a base with a spindle on a main support area of the base for carrying the large fresh roll of bathroom tissue. The base has a secondary support area beneath the main support area with stub shafts thereon for carrying the remnant roll of bathroom tissue directly beneath the large roll. The remnant roll is carried with its axis perpendicular to the axis of the large roll. The spindle preferably has a tubular body and detachable ribs for increasing the diameter of the body.

Abstract: A paper towel dispenser of the type dispensing towelling spirally from the center of a coreless roll of towelling while the roll stands upright. The dispenser is a knockdown dispenser having a separate base, a first casing part, and a second casing part. The dispenser can be shipped with the parts disassembled to save space and assembled onsite by connecting the base to the first casing part and then pivotally connecting the second casing part to the base. The roll of towelling sits on the base and the casing parts form an enclosure about the roll. The dispenser has a dispensing nozzle in the base through which the paper towelling is dispensed. An access opening is provided in the wall of the nozzle to make it easier to thread the towelling through the nozzle when loading a new roll of towelling in the dispenser. A dispensing ring may be provided in the bottom of the nozzle through which the towelling is dispensed.

Abstract: A dispenser for dispensing sheets of paper towelling from a tubular roll of paper towelling that has perforated lines across it at spaced-apart intervals dividing the towelling into joined together sheets. The dispenser has a base on which one end of the towelling roll sits and an opening in the base through which one end of the towelling, from within the roll, is passed in the form of a spiral tail. This tail is then passed through gripping members beneath the base which both flatten the towel into a band-like strip and grip the strip so that when the strip is pulled beneath the gripping means, the outermost sheet of towelling is torn away along a line of perforations.
