  • Patent number: 4463912
    Abstract: Disclosed is a dispenser for toilet tissue and other similar roll material having a hollow core. The dispenser has a storage container which allows a plurality of rolls to be stored in an end-to-end stack arrangement. The lowest roll can be dispensed by a user through a side opening in the storage container. When the lowest roll is completely used, the user can discharge the roll core by pulling a slide plate outwardly to align an aperture in the slide plate with the used core. The core also drops through a core opening in a pivot plate immediately below the slide plate. The next roll of tissue drops to the slide plate and is supported thereon because it is larger than the core aperture.The dispenser is filled by releasing a lock means and rotating the storage container into a horizontal position.
