Claims17
A dispenser device for dispensing of toilet paper, comprising:
- a dispenser body rotatably holding a toilet paper roll having an axis, the toilet paper having opposed lateral edges;
- and an accessory comprising:
- front and back guide-members defining a paper-movement channel therebetween, the front guide-member having a front lateral access notch in a front vertical side edge, and the back guide-member having a back lateral access notch in a back vertical side edge, the front and back side notches being at least partially aligned allowing manual pinching of lateral-edge-adjacent portion of the paper in the channel;
- a dispenser-attaching device at the upper end of the guide-members, the dispenser-attaching device being configured and arranged for suspending the accessory in a position substantially below the bottom of the entire dispenser body;
- a paper-detaching edge at the lower end of the guide members;
- and
- the front guide-member further having a bottom access opening allowing manual engagement of paper in the channel near the paper-detaching edge, and the back guide-member having a bottom access opening at least partially overlapping the bottom access opening of the front guide-member, thereby allowing manual pinching of paper in the channel near the paper-detaching edge to facilitate dispensing.
A device for manual dispensing of toilet paper from a roll having an axis, the toilet paper having opposed lateral edges, comprising:
- a dispenser body holding the toilet paper roll;
- front and back guide-members defining a paper-movement channel therebetween and substantially secured below the bottom of the dispenser body, the front guide-member having opposed lateral access front notches in front vertical side edges, and the back guide-member having opposed lateral back lateral access notches in back vertical side edges, the corresponding front and back side notches being at least partially aligned allowing manual pinching of lateral-edge-adjacent portion of the paper in the channel;
- a paper-detaching edge at the lower end of the guide members;
- and
- the front guide-member further having a bottom access opening allowing manual engagement of paper in the channel near the paper-detaching edge, and the back guide-member having a bottom access opening at least partially overlapping the bottom access opening of the front guide-member, thereby allowing manual pinching of paper in the channel near the paper-detaching edge to facilitate dispensing.
