Abstract
An improved cap for a paper dispenser with an adjustable tension control and a tension grip having several ribs and a spring housing for accommodating a tension spring within the housing, a first and second circular end rings on the two end tips of the tension grip, a tension rod attached to the first circular end, a spring base having a threaded shaft, a tension adjustment dial, having a ribbed outer surface, and a plurality of braking blades, extending in a longitudinal direction to the plane of the tension adjustment dial and coming into frictional contact with an inner surface of the tension grip or the second end ring, for controlling the rotational speed and dispensing of the toilet paper.
Claims22
In a dispenser, a device having a cap with a tension adjustment control comprising:
- a rotor having a threaded portion on an inner bottom surface;
- a spring base including a plurality of braking blades that come into frictional contact with a surface of a rotor upon rotation of the rotor and operation of the tension adjustment dial;
- whereby reducing rotational speed of the dispenser.
A product dispensing device for comprising:
- a rotor having a threaded portion on an inner bottom surface;
- a spring base including a threaded shaft and a plurality of braking blades that come into frictional contact with a surface of the rotor upon rotation of the rotor;
- a tension adjustment dial for controlling the extent of frictional contact of said plurality of braking blades with a ribbed inner part of the contacting rotor surface;
- a limit cap having a generally tubular shape and constructed to limit the longitudinal movement of the tension adjustment dial and a corresponding movement of the braking blades;
- a plurality of tension rod wires for holding a dispensed product;
- a solid rod extending through a central opening of the rotor;
- a finial grip for holding one tip of the solid rod;
- and
- a finial grip cover, covering the finial grip;
- wherein the plurality of braking blades extend and increase the frictional contact with a surface of the rotor in response to rotation of the tension adjustment dial.
A rolled paper dispenser with an adjustable tension cap comprising:
- a tension grip having a plurality of ribs and a spring housing for accommodating a tension spring within the housing;
- a first and second circular end rings on the two end tips of the tension grip;
- a tension rod attached to the first circular end;
- a spring base having a threaded shaft;
- a tension adjustment dial, having a ribbed outer surface;
- and
- a plurality of braking blades, extending in a longitudinal direction to the plane of the tension adjustment dial and coming into frictional contact with an inner surface of the tension grip, for controlling the rotational speed of the dispenser.
