  • Patent number: 9661959
    Abstract: A toilet paper holding device for efficiently storing toilet paper in an organized manner. The toilet paper holding device includes a baseplate that can be mounted to a wall or other support surface via one or more fasteners, such as screws. The baseplate includes one or more telescopic arms extending therefrom. The telescopic arms can be extended or retracted in length so as to hold a desired number of toilet paper rolls thereon. In embodiments having several arms, the arms are substantially parallel to one another and are separated by a space. The telescopic arms can be removably secured to the baseplate via a threaded connection. In this way, the toilet paper holding device allows a user to store a number of toilet paper rolls in an organized manner.

  • Publication number: 20150069172
    Abstract: A flushable wipe dispenser is insertable into a standard toilet paper roll and holder. The assembled toilet paper roll and device are positioned onto a standard toilet roll holder, allowing for convenient and space-saving access to flushable wipes. The dispenser allows the user to easily draw-out a moist wipe from a convenient location at the center of the toilet roll tube. The convenient location better enables easy usage of the toilet paper and moist wipes by the consumer and with a less visibly obtrusive moist wipe container.
