  • Patent number: 8651003
    Abstract: A power-operated toilet paper dispensing device for automatically providing a desired quantity of existing toilet paper as needed by a user may include a housing adapted to be affixed to a support surface. Further, the device may include a plurality of spindles situated within the housing. Each of the spindles may receive and support a corresponding roll of toilet paper. A mechanism may be included for automatically and independently rotating each of the spindles along a corresponding first rotational path defined within the housing. Such a mechanism may be automatically responsive to a triggering event such that a first one of the spindles automatically and independently articulate along the corresponding first rotational path while a second one of the spindles remains statically disposed at a fixed position within the housing. Additionally, the automatically and independently rotating mechanism may automatically detect the triggering event at a location exterior of the housing.
