Abstract: A paper toweling dispenser apparatus including damping structure for taking up over-spin slack, including a pivoting paper guide pivotally connected to a fixed paper guide by springs which operate in sequential stages during paper toweling dispensing.

Abstract: Apparatus for dispensing paper toweling from a roll of paper toweling includes a rotary damper resisting formation of overspin slack in the paper toweling resulting from a pulling force applied to the paper toweling. Control mechanism changes the rotary damper from an operative condition to an inoperative condition responsive to reduction of the diameter of the roll of paper toweling.

Abstract: A system allowing a user to communicate with a service provider concerning services includes a user interface panel indicating restroom maintenance services available and communication structure through which a user can select required services and communicate with the service provider.

Abstract: A paper roll end support plug includes a first plug member non-rotatably mounted on a dispenser and a second plug member inserted in the paper roll end and rotatable relative to the first plug member, the plug members being in frictional engagement to prevent overspin of the paper roll during dispensing of paper from the roll.

Abstract: A wet wipe dispenser apparatus including a container, a top with a wipe egress opening, a wipe support for holding a stack of wet wipes biased for movement toward the top, and at least one wick in the container for applying moisture to wipes of the stack of wipes.

Abstract: Control apparatus for controlling operation of a paper towel dispenser includes control switches and a handle having two relatively movable handle portions rotating when a paper toweling support drum rotates. One of the handle portions has projections which engage the switches when the handle rotates.

Abstract: A system for harvesting and storing energy including photovoltaic structure continuously harvesting energy from an internal lighting system, at least one supercapacitor for receiving and storing electrical energy produced by the photovoltaic structure, and a microprocessor continually powered by the supercapacitor and programmed to activate an electrically operated device when the stored energy in the supercapacitor exceeds a minimum voltage charge level sufficient to maintain operation of the microprocessor.

Abstract: A toilet seat cover refill package including a box holding a plurality of toilet seat covers dispensed in face-to-face relationship and on end, and support structure within the box for providing lateral support for the toilet seat covers to prevent sagging thereof.

Abstract: Control apparatus for controlling operation of a paper towel dispenser includes control switches and a handle having two relatively movable handle portions rotating when a paper toweling support drum rotates. One of the handle portions has projections which engage the switches when the handle rotates.

Abstract: Apparatus for dispensing paper toweling from a roll of paper toweling includes structure including a fixed cutter blade and a toweling support tray at the toweling exit opening which makes it difficult to “milk” toweling from the dispenser.

Abstract: Apparatus adapted to detect fluid in a conduit arrangement (100, 101) includes a first fluid sensor (102) and a second fluid sensor (104). A fluid detection device (105) is in communication with the first and the second sensors, the device being configured to output a fluid detection signal when both the first and the second sensors detect presence of fluid. In use, the first and the second sensors are positioned at different positions along a conduit arrangement and/or the first and the second sensors are disposed at different radial angles with respect to an axis of a conduit arrangement.

Abstract: A lockable torque-limiting driver that includes, a body, a sleeve, a shaft carried by the body for rotation relative thereto and having a fastener-engaging tip at one end that projects from the body, a torque-limiting mechanism coupled to the shaft and housed within said body, a torque-adjusting mechanism within the body and coupled to the torque-limiting mechanism for adjusting the torque-limiting mechanism to a desired torque value, a torque-locking mechanism operably coupled with the torque-adjusting mechanism and the body or the sleeve for preventing movement of the torque-determining means and locking the settable torque-limiting driver at the desired torque value.
