Abstract
A dispensing cap for a dispensing system may be adapted for dispensing a roll of longitudinally extending material arranged in a center-pull configuration. The dispensing cap may include a dispensing orifice. A first rim having an inner edge may define a wide end of the dispensing orifice. A second rim having an outer edge may define a narrow end of the dispensing orifice. One or more sidewalls may extend between the inner edge of the first rim and the outer edge of the second rim and define the dispensing orifice between the wide end and the narrow end. The dispensing cap may further include a dispensing slot that defines an opening through the second rim.

A dispensing cap for a dispensing system for dispensing a roll of longitudinally extending material arranged in a center-pull configuration, the dispensing cap comprising:
- a dispensing orifice;
- a first rim having an inner edge defining a wide end of the dispensing orifice;
- a second rim having an outer edge defining a narrow end of the dispensing orifice;
- one or more sidewalls extending between the inner edge of the first rim and the outer edge of the second rim and defining the dispensing orifice between the wide end and the narrow end;
- and
- a dispensing slot defining an opening through the second rim, wherein the dispensing slot comprises a raised skirt that is raised and extends upward from the second rim towards the first rim, wherein the skirt defines the opening, wherein the opening has a width that is less than a largest cross-sectional width of the longitudinally extending material, and wherein the skirt includes edges that are in contact with and clamp onto a portion of the longitudinally extending material that extends out of the opening towards the first rim.
A containment and dispensing system for a roll of longitudinally extending material arranged in a center-pull configuration, the system comprising:
- a first end cap positioned at a first end of the roll;
- a second end cap positioned at a second end of the roll;
- and
- one or more sidewalls extending around sides of the roll between the first end cap and the second end cap,
- wherein the first end cap comprises a dispensing cap, the dispensing cap comprising
- a dispensing orifice,
- a first rim having an inner edge defining a wide end of the dispensing orifice,
- a second rim positioned in-between the first end cap and the second end cap, the second rim having an outer edge defining a narrow end of the dispensing orifice,
- one or more sidewalls extending between the inner edge of the first rim and the outer edge of the second rim and defining the dispensing orifice between the wide end and the narrow end, and
- a dispensing slot defining an opening through the second rim, wherein the dispensing slot comprises a raised skirt that is raised and extends upward from the second rim towards the first rim, wherein the skirt defines the opening, wherein the opening has a width that is less than a largest cross-sectional width of the longitudinally extending material, and wherein the skirt includes edges that are in contact with and clamp onto a portion of the longitudinally extending material that extends out of the opening towards the first rim.
