  • Publication number: 20190367255
    Abstract: A dispenser adapted to be mounted to a structure wall and to allow consumables to be dispensed from a consumables box, the dispenser comprising a front wall, at least one back wall, first and second walls, and at least one support wall. The front wall defines and extends completely around an aperture. The first and second walls each extendi between the front wall and the at least one back wall. The at least one support wall extends from at least one of the front wall, the at least one back wall, and the first and second walls. The consumables box is supported by the at least one support wall such that a first portion defined by the at least one back wall is configured to engage the consumables box and a second portion defined by one of the first and second walls is configured to engage the consumables box.

  • Patent number: 10384856
    Abstract: The present invention is a dispenser that is secured to a structure wall. Back walls of the dispenser are fixed relative to each other such that a first spring mechanism applies a first outward force on at least one wall of the dispenser, a second spring mechanism applies a second outward force on at least one wall of the dispenser, and the first and second outward forces are transmitted to the structure wall through one or both of first and second walls and the back walls. An aperture in the front wall is configured to inhibit flexing of the dispenser when the first and second outward forces are applied to the walls of the dispenser.

  • Patent number: 9624027
    Abstract: The present invention generally relates to dispensers for holding a consumables box containing consumable products such as, but not limited to, disposable latex gloves. In one embodiment, the dispenser includes a continuous front plate with an aperture for extracting the consumable products, continuous side plates, and separable back plates that develop a load path with the continuous front plate after the dispenser has been mounted onto a mounting surface. The dispenser may include one or more spring mechanisms that urge the consumables box into a forward and centered position within the dispenser. The continuous front plate resists undesired deflection when subjected to an outward force. In another embodiment, one or more surfaces of the dispenser may be overlaid with a woodgrain laminate for aesthetic purposes.
