Abstract: The invention consists of a paper towel dispenser for dispensing individual sheets of paper towels from a roll of paper having regularly spaced apart lines of partial severance. The dispenser is comprised of a housing and a housing door which can be pivotally opened to allow a roll of sheet material to be inserted into the dispenser. The dispenser has a funnel-shaped exit to allow the end of the roll to protrude in order to be grasped by the user. A paper towel tearing member is located adjacent to the funnel outlet of said funnel and the opening of this member is adjustable in order to vary the size of the opening of the dispenser. This adjustment of the exit size creates an adjustment in the position at which the sheet tears away from the roll to allow the use of different types of sheet material in a single dispenser.

Abstract: The invention consists of a bung for a paper roll, the bung comprised of a core and a plurality of flanges frangibly coupled to the core. Each flange has a number of ridges that serve to anchor the flange to the paper roll. When the bung is inserted into a paper roll, the flanges are decoupled from the core, and serve to hold the core within the paper roll.
