  • Patent number: 6766976
    Abstract: Dispenser for rolls of material in the form of a web has a withdrawal opening for the material and space for at least two rolls. A first space is arranged adjacent to the withdrawal opening and is intended for a roll in use position, and a second space is intended for a roll in reserve position. A retaining member is arranged so as, in a retaining position, to hold the second roll in reserve position, and to be freed in order to allow the reserve roll to drop down into use position when the first roll is removed. A spindle end arranged in the first space is displaceable in its longitudinal direction and rotatably mounted. It is intended to lie in engagement with the interior of a central core of a roll in use position and is connected to an operating knob arranged outside the housing for feeding out the material web and for drawing the spindle end out of engagement with the central core.

    Abstract: Dispenser for rolls of material in the form of a web, such as paper, which dispenser has space for at least two rolls. A first space is intended for a roll in use position, and a second space is intended for a roll in reserve position. A retaining member is arranged so as to hold the second roll in reserve position and to interact with a roll in use position in such a manner that, when a roll is present in use position, the retaining member is held in retaining position, whereas the retaining member is freed in order to allow the reserve roll to drop down into use position when the first roll is removed. The dispenser comprises a wall bracket and a casing. Two support elements are mounted on the wall bracket inside the withdrawal opening and are intended to support a roll arranged in use position. A plate is mounted pivotably on the wall bracket about an axis and is spring-loaded below the axis.
