  • Patent number: 4836462
    Abstract: The toilet tissue dispenser of this invention requires framing means including a rearwardly disposed wall mounting member and a forwardly disposed tissue roll mounting member. The roll mounting member has a pivotal connection at one end thereof to provide for pivotal movement of the member relative to the wall mounting member between an open position providing for the replenishment of tissue rolls over the free end of the member and a closed position. A roll housing is slidably disposed on the roll mounting member and has an open end facing toward the free end of said member. At the time of replenishment the housing receives spare rolls of tissue therein. The housing is spaced from the free end of the roll mounting member to provide for a roll of tissue on the member in the in-use position clear of the housing. The roll housing is slidable on the roll mounting member toward the free end thereof to place a new roll of tissue in the in use position after the previous roll has been consumed.
