Abstract
An aesthetically pleasing toilet paper holder and roll dispenser for residential use that includes an enclosed vertical tubular body that receives the rolls, with a bracket adapted to fit over the top rim of a conventional residential toilet tank under the tank cover without the need for any special fasteners or wall damage. An actuator rod is slidable in axial slots in the body to shift the rolls upwardly so that the top roll may be easily removed, and the rod may be locked in any desired position by simply rotating the rod 90 degrees.

A toilet paper dispenser for holding and dispensing rolls of paper comprising:
- an elongated tubular body member having a length at least as great as the axial length of two rolls of toilet paper, said tubular body member having a closed end and an open end, said tubular body member being adapted to slidably receive at least two rolls of toilet paper, a removable cover for the open end of the tubular body member so that the rolls of paper are concealed when the cover is in place, and means for axially moving the rolls of paper in the tubular body member toward the open end thereof so that the roll adjacent the open end can be easily removed therefrom, said means for axially moving the rolls of paper including a selectively axially movable member extending through the tubular body member.
A toilet paper dispenser for holding and dispensing rolls of paper comprising:
- an elongated tubular body member having a length at least as great as the axial length of two rolls of toilet paper, said tubular body member having a closed end and an open end, said tubular body member being adapted to slidably receive at least two rolls of toilet paper, a removable cover for the open end of the tubular body member so that the rolls of paper are concealed when the cover is in place, means for axially moving the rolls of paper in the tubular body member toward the open end thereof so that the roll adjacent the open end can be easily removed therefrom, a bracket projecting from the tubular body member adapted to fit over the top rim of a conventional residential toilet tank under the tank cover for supporting the holder and dispenser on the toilet, the bracket having a horizontal portion extending from the tubular body member having a length greater than the width of the tank cover fiange to stand-off the tubular body member from the tank, said horizontal portion having a vertical recess in the top thereof for receiving the tank cover flange, and said bracket having a "U" shaped portion extending from the horizontal portion that fits over the tank top rim.
A toilet paper dispenser for holding and dispensing rolls of paper comprising:
- an elongated tubular body member having a length at least as great as the axial length of two rolls of toilet paper, said tubular body member having a closed end and an open end, said tubular body member being adapted to slidably receive at least two rolls of toilet paper, a removable cover for the open end of the tubular body member so that the rolls of paper are concealed when the cover is in place, means for axially moving the rolls of paper in the tubular body member toward the open end thereof so that the roll adjacent the open end can be easily removed therefrom the means for axially moving the rolls of paper in the tubular body member including an axial slot in the tubular body member, and a manually manipulable rod axially slidable in the slot and extending under the adjacent roll of paper in the tubular body member.
A toilet paper dispenser for holding and dispensing rolls of paper, comprising:
- an elongated tubular body member having a length at least as great as the axial length of two rolls of toilet paper, said tubular body member having a closed end and an open end, said tubular body member being adapted to slidably receive at least two rolls of toilet paper, a removable cover for the open end of the tubular body member so that the rolls of paper are concealed when the cover is in place, a bracket extending from the tubular body member adapted to fit over the tank of a conventional residential toilet tank and under the tank cover therefor, and a selectively axially movable member extending through the tubular body member under the roll adjacent the closed end of the tubular body member for moving the paper rolls toward the open end of the tubular body member.
