BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

(1) Field of the Invention

This invention relates to a toilet paper roll holder, in particular to an improved toilet paper roll dispenser and holder for residential or commercial use, that stores multiple rolls of toilet paper and allows for easy replacement of toilet paper rolls when a new roll is required.

(2) Background of the Invention

A variety of roll holders have been proposed for preventing paper rolls, such as toilet tissue rolls, from rotating freely and unwinding excessive amounts of paper or toilet tissue. The problem of excessive unwinding of toilet tissue has been frequently vexing and expensive, especially in public buildings, hotels, motels, and the like. Patrons of such establishments often carelessly tug unnecessarily forceful on the free end of a tissue paper roll, dispensing far more tissue than is necessary. The extra tissue frequently clutters up the bathroom facilities of public buildings, increasing janitorial costs and unnecessarily wasting tissue paper.

None of the devices proposed for overcoming this problem have yet found widespread acceptance because they are unsatisfactory for a variety of reasons. For example, U.S. Pat. No. 3,850,379 discloses a tissue holder brake mechanism, including a spring member which is inserted into one end of a tissue roll. The spring member has a U-shaped cross sectional configuration which exerts opposing forces against the tissue roll and a roll holder arm, producing a frictional braking action on the tissue roll. However, the device disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 3,850,379 is unsuitable for use with most commercially available roll holders, especially roll holders of the recessed type, which often have only approximately an eighth to a quarter of an inch space between the end of the tissue roll and the roll holder arm. Further, the device of U.S. Pat. No. 3,850,379 tends to force the opposite end of the tissue roll against the opposite roll holder arm, thereby tending to fray the tissue.

In addition, heretofore various tube assemblies have been proposed for holding a roll of material, such as a toilet paper roll. Also, some of these assemblies have included a radially projecting flange or tab extending radially outwardly from one of the tubes to facilitate movement of one tube against another tube of the tube assembly. These prior structures require a special construction of one or both of the telescoping tubes and do not include a structure which can be mounted on or used with a conventional assembly for a toilet paper roll.

Various other toilet paper holder devices are known in the prior art. For example, U.S. Pat. No. 4,098,469 issued to McCarthy on Jul. 4, 1978 discloses a toilet tissue roll holder; U.S. Pat. No. 4,192,561 issued to Gunn on Mar. 11, 1980 discloses a storage container for roll tissue paper; U.S. Pat. No. 5,255,861 issued to Saul Lerner on 26 Oct. 1993 discloses a toilet paper holder assembly with auxiliary tissue roll; U.S. Appl. No. 20040159730 issued to Kasuga Seishikogyo on 19 Aug. 2004 discloses a toilet paper roll and method of manufacturing the paper roll; U.S. Pat. No. 5,570,938 issued to Butler on Nov. 5, 1996 discloses a toilet tissue roll holder; U.S. Pat. No. 4,314,679 issued to Paul, et al. on Feb. 9, 1982 discloses a roll holder and dispenser; U.S. Pat. No. 4,273,392 issued to Stinson on Jun. 16, 1981 discloses a tissue roll holder; U.S. Pat. No. 5,887,818 issued to Kelly discloses a device for storing multiple rolls of tissue and dispensing therefrom; U.S. Pat. No. 4,607,809 issued to Sineni on Aug. 26, 1986 discloses a toilet tissue holder and dispenser; U.S. Pat. No. 4,765,475 issued to Kaysserian on Aug. 23, 1988 discloses a holder and dispenser for multiple rolls of tissue.

While these devices fulfill their respective, particular objectives and requirements, but there is still a need for an improved type of toilet paper roller device and dispenser compatible with such a roll product, which can reduce the occurrences of damages caused to the dispenser through installation of an incompatible roll product in the dispenser.
