  • Patent number: 11363919
    Abstract: A paper product dispenser includes a hood having a first coupling component; a rear housing member including a second coupling component; a pair of roll support couplers and a dispensing member at least partially disposed within said housing; and a pair of roll support arms. The second coupling component cooperates with the first coupling component for releasably coupling the hood and the rear housing member to one another. The rear housing member and the hood jointly define a housing adapted to hold a roll of paper product therein. The dispensing member is configured to selectively dispense the paper product from within said housing. Each pair of roll support arms are configured to support an end of a roll of paper product within the housing and each is configured for releasable coupling with one of the pair of roll support couplers.

  • Patent number: 10443775
    Abstract: A pipe coupling may include a body that is tubular and formed from a polymer. The body may include a main bore with a main axis and at least first and second female receptacles on each end of the main bore. Each receptacle may be configured to receive a male end of a pipe. A first brace may be coupled to and extend between, for example, a first female receptacle and a third female receptacle. A second brace may be coupled to extend between, for example, a second female receptacle and the third female receptacle. The pipe coupling can be a single, integral, injection molded monolithic structure.

  • Patent number: 10334996
    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.
