  • Patent number: 4765555
    Abstract: A dispenser having simple and removably expendable components including two identical slotted brackets which support, an upper roller and a lower roller. The upper roller fits into the spool of the toilet tissue or paper towel and permits the spool to rotate thereupon. The lower roller is in contact with the power drive unit and is made movable thereby. The power drive unit or motor and drive means comprise a battery compartment, a motor in electrical connection with the batteries in the compartment, a gear in contact with the motor and a drive roller in contact with the gear. The drive roller is in physical contact with the lower roller and rotates the lower roller in a clockwise manner. The motor and drive unit are easily removed as a complete unit from the dispenser housing by loosening one or two screws that attach the unit to the frame of the housing. Thus, the present invention provides an easily detachable motor and drive unit with a reusable dispenser unit.
