  • Patent number: 6481665
    Abstract: A storage and dispensing bin has a plurality of vertically spaced chutes, each of which are capable of receiving a plurality of rolls of web stock material and dispensing material from an end-most roll through guides located at the desired vertical position with respect to a work surface. The chutes are inclined at angles to allow roll web stock to advance to a movable gate which allows the next roll of web stock in line to be advanced to a dispensing station when one roll is depleted. Each dispensing space station includes horizontally spaced rollers on which the web stock rests. A keeper bar extends in front of the web stock for holding it in placed as material is dispensed therefrom. A lateral stop is provided for holding the web stock, which may be of different widths, in predetermined horizontal alignment with respect to the work surface.
