Abstract: An apparatus for dispensing paper product has an encasement that is configured to enclose the roll of paper. The encasement has a base at a longitudinal end for supporting the roll of paper in that encasement, with the base including a base opening for the paper to be inserted there through. The base also has an inner surface that is configured to contact the roll of paper, as well as an oppositely disposed outer surface. A dispensing portion of the apparatus is located adjacent the outer surface of the base, and is releasably coupled to the encasement. Coupling between the dispensing portion and the encasement is free of fasteners. The dispensing portion includes a rotatable dispensing element that has a dispensing orifice for dispensing paper from within said encasement to the exterior.

Abstract: A hygienic sheet material dispenser includes a housing with a dispensing opening, a compartment for a sheet material product, a first sensor arranged to assume an active mode in which it scans for the presence of a user, a dispensing motor arranged to drive a driving mechanism, a second sensor for sensing when a piece of said product has been removed, and a microcontroller connected to the first sensor, the second sensor and the dispensing motor, said dispenser also being configured to be switched to a passive mode. The dispenser is arranged to switch to the passive mode after a first predetermined period of time has elapsed in the active mode without detection of a user; wherein, upon entering the passive mode, a length of said product is fed from the dispenser out of the dispensing opening and the first sensor and the microcontroller are substantially deactivated; and wherein the dispenser is arranged to switch back to the active mode when the second sensor senses that said product has been removed.

Abstract: In an implementation, a roller system is provided. The roller system includes a modular frame. The frame includes a plurality of weight component attachment points. Each weight component attachment point is adapted to receive one or more weight components such that a weight of the frame and location of a center of gravity of the frame is adjusted by the addition of one or more weight components to each of the plurality of weight component attachment points. The frame further includes at least one arm assembly adapted to connect to the frame, and to apply force to a surface, wherein the force applied to the surface is proportional to the weight of the frame and the location of the center of gravity of the frame.
