Patent number: 8991646Abstract: A product dispenser including a housing for housing dispensable products in a product reservoir defined by the housing and a cover member defining a dispensing opening through which the products are dispensed. The cover member includes a lid member and a support member and the lid member is openable relative to the support member about a hinge. The cover member is removably mountable to the housing by at least one engagement member of the support member engaging at least one complementary engagement member of the housing. A strength of connection of the hinge to the support member and a strength of connection of at least one engagement member of the support member for removably mounting the support member to the housing is such that when the lid member is opened to a stop position and further opening force is applied to the lid member, at least one engagement member dismounts between the housing and the support member before the force gets so great as to break the hinge.Type: GrantFiled: August 30, 2011Date of Patent: March 31, 2015Assignee: SCA Hygiene Products ABInventor: Russell G. Wieser

Patent number: 8730643Abstract: A dispenser can include a charge collector, an arc gap and a ground, where the arc gap is between the charge collector and the ground. The arc gap provides high impedance and can be set to a distance of from about 0.1 to about 0.01 inches. The technology operates by collecting charge from at one charge generating site with at least one charge collector and sending the charge to ground through the arc gap, the arc gap being between the at least one charge collector and the ground.Type: GrantFiled: October 22, 2010Date of Patent: May 20, 2014Assignee: SCA Hygiene Products ABInventors: John S. Formon, Russell G. Wieser, Joseph Wieser

Patent number: 8511600Abstract: A two-roll toilet paper dispenser automatically transfers a new roll into dispensing position once the previous roll is spent or nearly spent. A spring-loaded plate senses the decreasing diameter of the first roll, and once it reaches a predetermined minimum, actuates a linkage that permits a mandrel carrying the two rolls to drop down within the dispenser body and position the second roll for dispensing. The mandrel and track structure permits reloading the dispenser without removing the mandrel. The rolls of toilet paper have adapter plugs in one end only, to ensure that the rolls are placed in the correct orientation within the dispenser.Type: GrantFiled: May 31, 2011Date of Patent: August 20, 2013Assignee: SCA Tissue North America LLCInventors: John S. Formon, Russell G. Wieser

Patent number: 7530524Abstract: A dispenser has a cover and a housing body. Within the housing body is a pair of rollers having a nip area therebetween. When the cover is open, a disengagement mechanism may be manually depressed to increase the space between one end of the rollers, while the space between an opposing end of the rollers remains substantially unchanged to facilitate the removal of a jam in the nip area of the dispenser.Type: GrantFiled: March 28, 2006Date of Patent: May 12, 2009Assignee: SCA Tissue North America LLCInventors: Russell G.

Patent number: 5199720Abstract: A totally split mechanical face seal being installable and replaceable without necessitating breakdown of the shaft and/or housing. The inventive split seal is well suited for replacement of packing or stuffing in heavy duty or inaccessible locations. The inventive seals include a sealing element that seals the primary ring against the shaft and rigidly positions the primary ring in the axial, circumferential and radial directions, and also includes a sealing element which seals the mating ring against the housing and non-rigidly positions the mating ring in the axial direction while simultaneously providing an axial biasing force on the mating ring to provide mating contact of the two rings.Type: GrantFiled: December 10, 1991Date of Patent: April 6, 1993Assignee: John Crane, Inc.Inventors: Jon J. Radosav, Thomas A. Evans, David M. Dudek, Russell G. Wieser, Brian J. Atwater, Robert J. Eisbrenner
