Abstract: A storage unit/workstation is described which allows efficient storage and use of several rolls of package wrapping material in conjunction with the tools needed to perform such wrapping. The storage unit/workstation includes a cabinet wherein the rolls of wrapping material are mounted to allow the wrapping material to be dispensed by unspooling it from the rolls. A working platform is situated below the cabinet so that the user may place a package on the platform and wrap it with wrapping material pulled from the cabinet. The platform may be stowed when not in use.

Abstract: A combined dry sanitary tissue and prewetted personal hygiene wipes dispenser including a rear housing and a front housing, the front housing being movable from an open position to a closed position with the rear housing, the front and rear housings forming a first compartment for a roll of dry sanitary tissue, the compartment having an opening through which the roll of dry sanitary tissue is dispensed. A second compartment is provided inside the first compartment from which a roll of prewetted personal hygiene wipes is dispensed. The second compartment includes a lid having a dispensing port therethrough. There is an orifice through the front housing allowing access to the dispensing port in the lid when the front housing section is in the closed position. The lid is not removable from the second compartment when the front housing is in the closed position. A lock is included for locking the front housing in the closed position.

Abstract: Dispensably different supplies, such as plastic wrap, wax paper, metal foil or sandwich bags can be stored in a common cylindrical dispenser, having an inner wall dividing the interior into a plurality of individual compartments. A curved door gives access to each compartment, and an opening in one door allows bulk items to be withdrawn from the dispenser. Rolled material is drawn through a gap, and torn off by pulling the material against a serrated cutter. Plastic wrap can be cut off using a blade cutter mounted on the side of the dispenser. The dispenser can be mounted vertically on a turntable, or horizontally from a bracket or cabinet.

Abstract: A storing and dispensing container comprising a carton (10) including opposing end panels (15) having corresponding recesses 25 therein for seating a cutting means (24) which is releasably engageable therein. Slots (16) and pendent slots (56) are included in end panels (15) so that a rod(18)with a roll of paper (20) thereon can be supported in the slots (16), (56). Rod (18) includes an additional length (22) at one of its ends adjacent one of the end panels (15) for mounting a tape dispenser (21) thereon and which is handy for assisting securing paper torn off by the cutter (24) onto an article, box or the like. Carton folds up into a closed mode for storing and carrying one of more rolls of paper (20) therein.

Abstract: A dispenser for toilet tissue comprises a housing in which are disposed parallel primary and secondary spindles adapted to carry primary and remnant rolls of tissue. The secondary spindle is located below the primary spindle and is spaced horizontally from a vertical centerline of the housing. The secondary spindle is slidably mounted in inclined slots, so that the stub roll, as it is depleted, gradually gravitates away from the vertical centerline, or alternatively the secondary spindle is pivotably mounted to the housing.

Abstract: A portable apparatus disposed on a level surface for dispensing compactly rolled material such as successively attached sheets or pads, either singly or several at a time for polishing, buffing, abrading, etc., automobiles and other types of vehicles. The apparatus includes an inverted U-shaped frame member having a front portion, an intermediate curved handle portion, and a back bracing portion. A pair of spaced-apart mounting bars are attached to the front portion for rotatably receiving thereon the compactly rolled material. A finger mounting bar is attached to the back bracing portion and has attached, at each end, a pair of pivotally mounted, elongated fingers which are adapted to press down upon and contact the rolled material that is rotatably mounted on the mounting bars.

Abstract: The ticket display and dispenser is a box forming one or more compartments for containing one or more ticket chains made up of a plurality of end-to-end or side-to-side interconnected tickets arranged in series-connected fashion. Each chain of tickets is fed forwardly through a ticket-entry slot for upward travel over a display structure and then rearwardly through a ticket-re-entry slot for exit through a ticket-exit slot at the rear of the box. The open front of the box is closed by a transparent cover that overlies the display structure and tickets displayed thereon. The ticket exit is located at the rear of the apparatus and the cover is lockable in place to prevent unauthorized access to the tickets, usually of the lottery type.

Abstract: Presented is a device for supporting and facilitating the dispensing of sheet material contained on rolls. The device is provided with three separate center-forming roll support structures on each of which may be separately supported a roll of sheet material to be dispensed. Each of the roll support structures is spring pressed to impose an axial force on the roll to thus retain it engaged with the roll support. Additionally, each of the roll support structures is manipulable to enable an increase of the space within which a roll is to be supported to thus facilitate placement and removal of a roll of material or removal of an empty roll.

Abstract: A collapsible spool holder. A pair of vertically spaced apart horizontally extending walls are telescopically inner-connected and mounted to a base and are arranged to move outwardly from the base to an erect position or to collapse into the base. Each horizontally extending wall along with the base include a plurality of upright rods each of which holds a spool of thread. A plurality of knife blades are mounted adjacent each rod to allow the thread to be severed from each spool without removal of the spool. A lid is removably mounted to and encloses the upright rods with spools.

Abstract: A sheet material dispenser which is characterized by a housing having an open top and bottom, and provided with spaced side rails for engaging a pair of supporting brackets mounted on the bottom of a cabinet. The housing side rails slidably engage the brackets to mount the housing beneath the cabinet and the housing contains multiple cylindrically-shaped rolls of paper towels and wrapping material such as plastic wrap, waxed paper and aluminum foil, in addition to plastic bags contained in a dispensing box. The rolls of wrapping material and paper towels are rotatably secured to oppositely- disposed spindles attached to spindle plates which are slidably inserted in facing flanges attached to opposite sides of the housing walls. The paper towels and various wrapping material are dispensed in sheets from beneath the housing by grasping the leading edges of the rolls, unrolling a sheet of desired length and engaging the material with serrated teeth on cutting blades to produce a sheet of selected size.

Abstract: A tape dispenser to allow multiple rolls of tape, some which are different widths, to be dispensed from a single dispenser without becoming entangled and sticking to the adjacent tape is disclosed. The dispenser contains two sets of blades spaced apart and attached to the dispenser housing. A guide bar is used adjacent to the lower blade to ensure the tape will approach the blade at an angle that will provide a clean cut. The tapes are placed on a tape core which is slid in an internal groove in the sides of the tape housing. The tapes are then fed to the cutting blades in an alternate manner which minimizes the risk of entanglement when being used.
