Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2014154284A1] A dispenser, comprising a housing defining an interior volume for receiving a stack of sheet products. The dispenser comprises an actuator and a dispensing member, wherein the actuator is operable by a user to activate a dispensing member to dispense a desired number of sheet products. The actuator includes two or more user interfaces that a user can actuate to transmit to the dispensing member an amount of movement corresponding to different numbers of sheet products being dispensed depending upon which of the user interfaces is actuated. The dispenser comprises a support structure for engaging a front face of the stack including opposed shelves for supporting opposed sides of the front face of the stack. A roller of the dispensing member is located between the opposed shelves and engages and grips on the front face of the stack. The actuator imparts a predetermined amount of rotation to the roller, which causes the roller to separate one or more sheet products at the front face of the stack, in a one-at-a-time fashion. A different amount of rotation is imparted to the roller depending upon which of the user interface ledges is actuated, thereby allowing selection of different numbers of sheet products to be dispensed.
