Appl. No.:

8/948670

Inventors:

John R. Moody - Antioch CA

Robert H. Dimock - Antioch CA

Assignee:

James River Corporation - VA

International Classification:

B65H 1900

US Classification:

242560

Abstract:

Apparatus for alternately dispensing toilet tissue from coreless rolls of toilet tissue includes a dispenser having a cover movable between two positions to alternately expose rolls of coreless toilet tissue within the dispenser. A partition having an opening is affixed to the cover and movable with the cover. A pair of coreless roll spindles are mounted within the dispenser in axial alignment with one another and with the partition opening. The partition opening alternately receives the coreless roll spindles when the cover moves between the two positions. The disclosed apparatus can be used to retrofit an existing dispenser normally employed to sequentially dispense toilet tissue from two adjacent rolls of toilet tissue having cores.

B65H 1804

US Classification:

493288

Abstract:

A system of forming a coreless roll paper product in which an elongated coreless paper roll is cut into segments by a saw. Prior to being cut from the elongated coreless paper roll, each roll segment is positioned on a support shaft located on a rotatable turret. The roll segment is severed while being supported by both an elongated mandrel and the support shaft, the blade passing through a space between the mandrel and support shaft. The turret has a number of spaced support shafts projecting therefrom, and rotation of the turret simultaneously brings the support shafts to various locations so that various steps in the operation are performed seriatim and simultaneously.

B65H 1804

US Classification:

2425603

Abstract:

A support spindle adapts a toilet tissue dispenser cabinet designed for use with conventional toilet tissue rolls having cores for use with coreless toilet tissue rolls. The support spindle includes a roll stop which is used to position a coreless roll at different locations on a rotatable sleeve incorporated on the support spindle. An insert positioned in the cabinet is employed to prevent premature actuation of a roll drop-down mechanism employed in the cabinet.

Assignee:

James River Paper Company, Inc. - Richmond VA

International Classification:

B65H 1606
B65H 1910

US Classification:

242561

Abstract:

A support spindle apparatus is inserted into the central aperture of a coreless toilet tissue roll to support the coreless toilet tissue roll in a toilet tissue dispenser cabinet having side walls defining at least one elongated, generally vertically oriented slot. The support spindle apparatus includes a double-ended elongated spindle body frictionally engaged with the toilet tissue roll, a roll stop element fixedly attached to the elongated spindle body to positively prevent movement of the coreless toilet tissue roll relative to the support spindle apparatus in a single axial direction, and an enlargement fixedly attached to the elongated spindle body at one end of the elongated spindle body and having a bearing surface oriented toward the roll stop element.

Assignee:

James River II, Inc. - Oakland CA

International Classification:

A47K 1032
B65D 85671

US Classification:

225106

Abstract:

A center-pull dispenser housing has a top and a support, the support defining a dispensing aperture. A coreless roll of sheet material is disposed on the support with the lead end of the sheet material extending from the coreless roll center through the dispensing aperture. The coreless roll has either channels or projections formed at the ends thereof which cooperate with stabilizing elements on the housing to resist movement of the coreless roll and collapse of the coreless roll as it nears depletion.

Inventors:

John R. Moody - Antioch CA

Assignee:

James River Corporation of Virginia - Richmond VA

International Classification:

A47K 1024

US Classification:

221 45

Abstract:

A system for dispensing individual sheet material segments from a roll of sheet material in which the sheet material is separated into individual segments by perforated tear lines. The sheet material roll is continually positioned on support rollers with the lead end of the sheet material passing through a nip defined by the rollers and a member which is biased against the rollers to resist rotation thereof. After passing through the nip the end of the toweling proceeds through a restricted opening. Pulling of the end-most segment by a consumer causes the end-most segment to be separated along the perforated tear line separating it from the adjoining, following segment.

US Classification:

2425974

Abstract:

Apparatus for mounting a paper roll product having a core on a coreless paper roll spindle having an enlargement. The apparatus includes an adapter spindle for sliding over the coreless paper roll spindle and a lock within the interior of the adapter spindle for locking the coreless paper roll spindle and the adapter spindle against substantial relative axial movement.

Appl. No.:

8/206644

Inventors:

John R. Moody - Antioch CA

Assignee:

James River Paper Company, Inc. - Richmond VA

International Classification:

B05C 100

US Classification:

118220

Abstract:

An apparatus and a method for forming coreless paper roll products are disclosed. Coreless paper roll products are formed by slitting a paper web to form web segments having side edges. The web segments are then wound about an elongated winder shaft. During winding of the paper web, liquid is applied to the web segments only at the side edges thereof while maintaining the web segments free of liquid between the side edges. When the rolls are formed and stripped from the winder shaft, the openings located at the ends of the roll at the roll central aperture will be well defined and allow ready insertion of a dispenser spindle. All the material of the roll can then be dispensed.
