Abstract (en)

A dispenser (1) for dispensing toilet paper (2) from a toilet roll (3) comprises a wall mounting plate member (6) and side members (8). Inclined gear rack tracks (11) formed in grooves (9) in the side members (8) rollably support a mandril (14) by pinions (17). The mandril (14) rigidly engages a core (22) of the toilet roll (3) and is inserted on the tracks (11) through access grooves (32). By pulling a free end (23) of the paper (2), the roll (3) and mandril (14) roll along the tracks (11) in the direction of the arrow A, thus dispensing paper (2) from the roll (3). Abutment members (28) engage the mandril at an end (24) of the tracks (11), and further pulling of the paper (2) causes the paper to separate from the roll (3). The mandril returns along the track (11) under gravity until the roll (3) engages the plate member (6) ready for dispensing the next length of paper (2).
