Abstract: A dispenser apparatus for stacked single-fold towel sheets has a rear wall, side walls, and front and rear funnel walls extending to a funnel height between bottom portions of the side walls on opposite sides of a feed slot; and a pair of shelf members projecting downwardly and inwardly from respective ones of the side walls, each shelf member having a shelf width perpendicular to the rear wall being approximately 45 percent of a housing depth between upper extremities of the funnel walls, inward extremities of the shelf members, the inward extremities being spaced above the feed slot within the funnel height and being spaced apart by a distance of not greater than approximately 90 percent of the stack width for partially supporting the sheets. Each shelf member has an upwardly and inwardly facing panel surface that forms a side angle of approximately 45 degrees with the side wall. A perimeter contour of each shelf member has a plan radius of approximately 0.

Abstract: An insert device for a sheet dispenser having a housing for receiving a stack of folded sheets, a bottom opening of the housing being formed as a rounded elongate slot having an enlarged center portion, includes a rear panel portion; an upwardly and forwardly sloping front ramp portion, a pair of side panel portions connecting the front ramp potion to the rear panel portion; and a ledge portion extending forwardly from the panel portion toward the ramp portion. Also disclosed is a method for bottom loading of the insert device (with stacked sheets therein) into a dispenser having door members defining a bottom opening thereof.

Abstract: A dispenser for rolled sheet material includes an openable housing having a front opening, a parallel-spaced pair of guide slots being supported proximate opposite sides of the housing, each guide slot having a generally vertically oriented first segment, a generally horizontally oriented second segment intersecting the first segment, and a generally vertically oriented third segment intersecting the second segment in offset relation to the first segment, the first segment having a bottom extremity below the second segment. A dual mandrel of the dispenser has a parallel-spaced pair of mandrel portions for receiving respective rolls, and a bridge portion rigidly connecting the mandrel portions.
