Successive dispensing from two sheet rolls

摘要

A two-roll dispenser, for toilet tissue or similar sheet material, is so arranged that sheet can be pulled downwardly from first roll 14 while slider 38 blocks underneath access to second roll 12. Only when roll 14 is emptied will tip 58 of pivotable slider arm 50 allow slider 38 to be slid rightwards, thus allowing access to roll 12. Pivotal slider arm 48 is cammed down by full roll 12, and pivoted upwards again by slider spring 64. Arm 50 pivots similarly in the opposite direction of sliding, when arm tip 56 does not allow slider movement until roll 12 is empty. The user normally slides the slider using handle 47. The dispenser has roll-supporting base 24 having a pivotable-downwards translucent cover (shown, unidentified).
