ABSTRACT:
A toilet paper holder and disbursement mechanism for use with a roll of toilet paper including a spring-loaded rod having ends that are adapted to be fixedly secured to an external mounting bracket; an inner sleeve disposed about the rod and axially aligned therewith and rotatable with respect thereto and having an extended end portion positioned in a plane that is substantially perpendicular to the rod; an elongated outer sleeve for holding a roll of toiler paper, the outer sleeve disposed about the inner sleeve and axially aligned therewith and rotatable with respect thereto and having a extended end portion positioned in a plane that is substantially perpendicular to the rod at a location adjacent to the end portion of the inner sleeve; a spring mechanism coupled between the inner sleeve and outer sleeve for urging the outer sleeve to a fixed rest position relative to the inner sleeve when the outer sleeve is axially rotated and then released; a manually-adjustable payout mechanism coupled between the end portion of the inner sleeve and end portion of the outer sleeve for limiting the rotational movement of the inner sleeve with respect to the outer sleeve; and an engageable latch mechanism coupled to the end portion of the inner sleeve for precluding free movement of the inner sleeve when engaged with the rod and for allowing free movement of the inner sleeve when disengaged.
