Patent number: 9499369Abstract: A braking assembly used in a dispenser that dispenses a continuous supply of material such as paper. The braking assembly includes a support structure. A first fixed gear is rotatably connected to the support structure. A movable chassis is also connected to the support structure. A second movable gear is held by the chassis and moves with the chassis. Teeth of the first gear and teeth of the second gear intermesh with each other and allow the paper to pass therethrough. The chassis maintains the teeth of the first and second gears in contact with each other while enabling a distance between gears to be adjustable. The assembly further includes a braking mechanism that varies an amount of force required to rotate the gears.Type: GrantFiled: November 4, 2013Date of Patent: November 22, 2016Assignee: SCA TISSUE NORTH AMERICA LLCInventors: Craig Billman, Jeffrey J.

Patent number: 6434981Abstract: A combination lock having a housing, a shackle, a dial, a pushbutton, and a lock assembly. The lock assembly is made of a group of rotating disks having windows that can be aligned to open the lock. When the dial is turned according to the combination of the lock, the windows become aligned so that the user can depress the pushbutton to release the shackle. The pushbutton travels in a direction that is perpendicular to the axis of rotation of the dial. When the shackle is locked again, the pushbutton returns to its original position. As the pushbutton travels back to its original position, portions of the lock assembly are turned so that the combination must be reentered in order to reopen the lock.Type: GrantFiled: March 1, 2001Date of Patent: August 20, 2002Assignee: Master Lock CompanyInventors: Steven A. Fantl, James L. Welch, Jesse A. Marcelle, John W. Grosz, Edward A. Raleigh
