  • Apparatus for dispensing rolled sheet material
    Patent number: 6554158
    Abstract: An apparatus for dispensing rolled sheet materials from a roll. The apparatus includes a roll of sheet material and a feed mechanism for incrementally feeding lengths of sheet material from the roll to a dispensing position. The feed mechanism includes a user manipulable means for engagement by the user and a drive roller operably connected to the user manipulable means. The drive roller is maintained in continuous contact with the outer circumference of the roll. Upon operation of the user manipulable means by the user, the drive roller frictionally engages and drives the roll rotationally about the axis of the roll. This causes the incremental feeding of the sheet material by unwinding the sheet material from the roll.
