Abstract: A dispenser for rolled material, such as rolled towel and tissue, includes a receptacle made as two separable interfitting elements so that the rolled material can be easily replaced. One form has a cup-like member with a lid and a separable interfitting horizontal or vertical dispensing slot is provided in the receptacle through which the material is dispensed. Another form has an inner body member that nests in an outer body member with opposed walls defining a dispensing passage and slot. Two different types of rolled material are dispensed from a single dispenser.

Abstract: A heat reduction volume compensator for use with a drip coffee maker in which the temperature applied by a hot plate to a coffee pot is reduced as the amount of liquid in the pot decreases by means of resilient segments that lift the pot away from the hot plate as the weight of the liquid in the coffee pot decreases.
