ELECTRONICALLY CONTROLLED DISPENSER FOR DISPENSING FLEXIBLE SHEET MATERIAL

摘要

A method of grounding a dispenser. A low impedance path is connected to elements internal to the dispenser. The low impedance path is also connected to a surface contact spring which is adapted to contact an external mounting surface when the dispenser is affixed thereto. Static electrical charge accumulated on the elements is discharged through the low impedance path and the surface contact spring to the external mounting surface.

主权项

1. A dispenser for dispensing flexible sheet material, comprising:
a support adapted to hold a roll of flexible sheet material; a cover adapted to move from a closed position covering the roll to an open position allowing access to the roll; a motor driven feed mechanism adapted to receive and dispense flexible sheet material from the roll; an electronic proximity sensor adapted to detect the presence of a user; an electronic control unit in operable communication with the electronic proximity sensor and the motor driven feed mechanism and adapted to control dispensation of the flexible sheet material, the electronic control unit comprising a jog off-on switch adapted to provide movement of the motor driven feed mechanism upon depression of the jog off-on switch.
