Abstract: A centerflow dispenser for dispensing a rolled paper product which includes a device for varying the diameter of the dispensing orifice to accommodate rolled paper products of various weights, widths, bulks and tensile strengths. The dispenser includes a rear housing, a front housing pivotally attached to the rear housing, the rear housing having extending therefrom a support member or bottom housing upon which a rolled paper product is placed. In one embodiment, the support member has attached thereto a rotatable disk with a plurality of a different diameter orifices disposed in the periphery thereof. The disk can be rotated such that each orifice in turn comes in at a vertical overlapping relationship with an exit port in the support member. In such manner, the desired orifice can be selected for the particular paper product being dispensed.In a second embodiment, interchangeable U-shaped members are supplied, each having a different diameter orifice therein.

Abstract: A retrofit folded towel dispensing module for use with a wall mounted, folded towel dispenser designed to dispense a folded towel having a predetermined footprint, the folded towel dispensing module enabling the dispenser to dispense folded towels having a different footprint. The module has a frame including a top member, a pair of extensible side members attached to the top member, and a dispensing platform having a dispensing orifice therethrough. The dispensing platform is pivotally attached to the extensible side members. The frame supports a stack of folded towels within the wall mounted, folded towel dispenser. The extensible side members allow the frame to be vertically adjustable within the wall mounted, folded towel dispenser to accommodate differing stack heights of a plurality of different wall mounted, folded towel dispensers.

Abstract: Disclosed is transfer apparatus for use in an embossing dispenser capable of sequentially dispensing primary and secondary rolls of a sheet material. The transfer apparatus includes pivotally mounted transfer linkage which supports a primary roll contacting surface. Bar means attached to the transfer linkage has a comb projecting therefrom with a wing member extending from each end of the bar member. The transfer linkage is biased for rotational movement to maintain the primary roll contacting surface in contact with the primary roll as the primary roll is depleted. This biasing simultaneously rotates the bar means toward the embossing rollers.
