SYSTEM AND METHOD OF DISPENSING CORELESS ROLLS OF PAPER PRODUCTS

摘要

A system and method of installing a coreless roll (12) of an absorbent consumer paper product in a dispenser (10) performs or includes steps of orienting the coreless roll (12) to a desired position of alignment within the dispenser, and securing the coreless roll (12) to the dispenser (10) by penetrating the coreless roll with at least one projection (30) that penetrates between adjacent layers of paper product in the coreless roll (12) so that the coreless roll is secured against radial displacement with respect to the dispenser during operation. A temporary holding mechanism (38) may be provided to hold the coreless roll in an intended position of alignment while the coreless roll (12) is being secured to the dispenser (10).
