The sheet product dispenser includes a housing defining an interior space configured to receive the roll of sheet product therein. The housing includes a nozzle configured to allow the sheet product to be dispensed therethrough and out of the interior space of the housing. The nozzle includes a first orifice disposed at or near an outer end of the nozzle, a second orifice disposed at or near an inner end of the nozzle, and a cavity disposed between the first orifice and the second orifice. The first orifice, the second orifice, and the cavity are configured to allow the sheet product to pass therethrough. The first orifice has a first cross-sectional area, the second orifice has a second cross-sectional area, and the cavity has a third cross-sectional area, wherein the third cross-sectional area is greater than the first cross-sectional area and greater than the second cross sectional area. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A sheet product dispenser for dispensing sheet product from a roll of sheet product, the sheet product dispenser comprising: a housing defining an interior space configured to receive the roll of sheet product therein, the housing comprising: a nozzle configured to allow the sheet product to be dispensed therethrough and out of the interior space of the housing, the nozzle comprising: a first orifice disposed at or near an outer end of the nozzle and configured to allow the sheet product to pass therethrough, the first orifice having a first cross-sectional area; a second orifice disposed at or near an inner end of the nozzle and configured to allow the sheet product to pass therethrough, the second orifice having a second cross-sectional area; and a cavity disposed between the first orifice and the second orifice and configured to allow the sheet product to pass therethrough, the cavity having a third cross-sectional area; wherein the third cross-sectional area is greater than the first cross-sectional area and greater than the second cross sectional area. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The sheet product dispenser of claim 1, wherein the second cross-sectional area is greater than the first cross-sectional area. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The sheet product dispenser of claim 1, wherein the first orifice, the second orifice, and the cavity are coaxial with a central axis of the nozzle. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The sheet product dispenser of claim 1, wherein the first orifice has a circular cross-sectional shape, wherein the second orifice has a circular cross-sectional shape, and wherein the cavity has a circular cross-sectional shape. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The sheet product dispenser of claim 1, wherein the first orifice has a circular cross-sectional shape and a diameter of between 6 millimeters and 8 millimeters. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The sheet product dispenser of claim 1, wherein the first orifice and the second orifice have different cross-sectional shapes. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The sheet product dispenser of claim 1, wherein the first orifice has a cylindrical shape, wherein the second orifice has a cylindrical shape, and wherein the cavity has a cylindrical shape. ### Claim 8 (depends on 1) The sheet product dispenser of claim 1, wherein the second orifice has a tapered shape. ### Claim 9 (depends on 1) The sheet product dispenser of claim 1, wherein the cavity has a tapered shape. ### Claim 10 (depends on 1) The sheet product dispenser of claim 1, wherein the second orifice comprises a plurality of barbs extending inward toward a central axis of the nozzle. ### Claim 11 (depends on 1) The sheet product dispenser of claim 1, wherein the housing comprises a cover and a nozzle cap attached to the cover. ### Claim 12 (depends on 11) The sheet product dispenser of claim 11, wherein the first orifice is defined in the nozzle cap, and wherein the second orifice and the cavity are defined in the cover. ### Claim 13 (depends on 11) The sheet product dispenser of claim 11, wherein the first orifice and the cavity are defined in the nozzle cap, and wherein the second orifice is defined in the cover. ### Claim 14 (depends on 11) The sheet product dispenser of claim 11, wherein the first orifice, the second orifice, and the cavity are defined in the nozzle cap. ### Claim 15 (depends on 11) The sheet product dispenser of claim 11, wherein the nozzle cap is removably attached to the cover. ### Claim 16 (depends on 1) The sheet product dispenser of claim 1, wherein the housing comprises a cover, and wherein first orifice, the second orifice, and the cavity are defined in the cover. ### Claim 17 (depends on 1) The sheet product dispenser of claim 1, further comprising a roll of sheet product disposed within the interior space of the housing. ### Claim 18 (depends on 17) The sheet product dispenser of claim 17, wherein the sheet product comprises bath tissue. ### Claim 19 (depends on 17) The sheet product dispenser of claim 17, wherein the sheet product comprises a plurality of lines of perforations defining a plurality of sheets. ### Claim 20 A nozzle for dispensing sheet product from a roll of sheet product, the nozzle comprising: a first orifice disposed at or near an outer end of the nozzle and configured to allow the sheet product to pass therethrough, the first orifice having a first cross-sectional area;
