ABSTRACT:
A dispenser for dispensing flexible sheet material from jumbo-sized rolls. The dispenser includes a housing containing a roll to be dispensed, and protecting the roll from the environment and from vandalism. The housing includes an opening at the bottom thereof to permit a user to withdraw the flexible sheet material. The dispenser includes at least one support roller adjacent the opening. Each support roller supports the roll by its lower periphery, facilitates the rotation of the roll, and maintains a portion of the periphery of the roll adjacent the opening. The housing further includes a wall, with a guide track, which is mounted to a restroom stall wall or another supporting surface. The dispenser also includes a guide mandrel which is slidably retained within the guide track, and is located inside the hollow core of the roll of flexible sheet material. The guide mandrel and guide slot direct the roll along a predetermined path during the entire dispensing of sheet material, and also assure that the roll is maintained in its proper position adjacent the dispenser opening. In addition, the support rollers, the guide slot, and the guide mandrel facilitate the withdrawal of sheet material from the dispenser and reduce the amount of force required to rotate the roll. This permits the sheet material on the roll to be perforated into sections along its length, which in turn, eliminates the need for any sharp or serrated edges normally used for tearing the sheet material.
