Abstract: An apparatus and method for consolidating partially used rolls of conventional, private bathroom-sized rolls of toilet tissue as a cost saving measure for reuse in furnishing "new" rolls to overnight guests in the hotel/motel industry is disclosed. The apparatus includes a housing, supply and take-up reels mounted on the housing and having vertically extending spindles which are bounded at the top by removable disk-shaped horizontally oriented cover plates and coaxially bounded at the bottom by disk-shaped horizontally oriented base plates. The cover plates are weighted to ensure positive gripping of the rolls. The take-up reel is motor driven and is automatically stopped when the roll has reached a predetermined full-sized roll diameter.
