Abstract
Abstract A holder and dispensing device for toilet paper and the like including opposed roll journaling assemblies each including an extending and retracting casing that houses a head member which is spring biased to extended position wherein it projects from the respective casings along the axis of rotation of the roll, an arcuate cover overlying the space between the assemblies and arranged concentrically to said axis to removably cover or mask the paper roll, and an arrangement to extend the respective casings into the roll bore when the cover is moved to closed or masking position and to retract the casings from the bore when the cover is moved to open position to replace the roll, whereby the roll core can be snapped free of the head members and another roll inserted therebetween for returning the holder to use by moving the cover to its closed position.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 11
Claim 1
Independent Claim
271 words
A paper roll holder and dispenser device for rolls of paper and the like wound up in tubular form to define a bore extending axially of same, said device comprising: a pair of roll retainer journaling assemblies, means for mounting said assemblies in opposed spaced apart relation, said assemblies each comprising: a casing proportioned to clOsely fit into the roll bore and having an open end and a head member reciprocably mounted in same and movable between an extended position in which said head projects from the casing open end and a retracted position in which said head is substantially retracted inside said casing open end, and means for spring biasing said heads to their said extended positions, said assemblies being spaced to receive a roll between them, a cover extending across the space between said assemblies, said cover being mounted for movement between a first roll covering position and a second roll exposing position relative to a roll received between said assemblies, and means for extending said casings into the roll bore from either end thereof on moving said cover from said second position to said first position thereof, and for retracting said casings from the roll bore on moving said cover from said first position to said second position, whereby, when said cover is in its second position, the roll may be applied to or removed from the device by depressing said heads of said assemblies, and when said cover is in its first position said casings are received in the roll bore at either end thereof to journal the roll, and the roll is masked by the cover.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
271 words
A paper roll holder and dispenser device for rolls of paper and the like wound up in tubular form to define a bore extending axially of same, said device comprising: a pair of roll retainer journaling assemblies, means for mounting said assemblies in opposed spaced apart relation, said assemblies each comprising: a casing proportioned to clOsely fit into the roll bore and having an open end and a head member reciprocably mounted in same and movable between an extended position in which said head projects from the casing open end and a retracted position in which said head is substantially retracted inside said casing open end, and means for spring biasing said heads to their said extended positions, said assemblies being spaced to receive a roll between them, a cover extending across the space between said assemblies, said cover being mounted for movement between a first roll covering position and a second roll exposing position relative to a roll received between said assemblies, and means for extending said casings into the roll bore from either end thereof on moving said cover from said second position to said first position thereof, and for retracting said casings from the roll bore on moving said cover from said first position to said second position, whereby, when said cover is in its second position, the roll may be applied to or removed from the device by depressing said heads of said assemblies, and when said cover is in its first position said casings are received in the roll bore at either end thereof to journal the roll, and the roll is masked by the cover.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
14 words
The device set forth in claim 1 wherein: said heads are substantially hemispherically contoured.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
49 words
The device set forth in claim 1 wherein: said cover includes a paper cut off edge over which the paper is trained when the roll is mounted in the device for facilitating tearing off a section of the paper, and roller means for training the paper past said edge.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
87 words
The device set forth in claim 1 wherein: said mounting means comprises: a generally planar frame of open centered quadrilateral configuration including a pair of arms projected from one side of same and disposed on either side of the frame, said cover being journaled between said arms for movement about an axis extending normally of said arms and parallel to the plane of said frame, said means for extending and retracting said casings comprising cam and cam follower means operably associated with said cover and said casings.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
69 words
The device set forth in claim 4 wherein: said cover comprises a curved member curving concentrically about said axis, said curved member defining a first marginal edge extending parallel to said axis, and a marginal element along said edge and formed with a cut off edge over which the paper is trained when the roll is mounted in the device for facilitating tearing off a section of the paper.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
25 words
The device set forth in claim 5 wherein said marginal element edge is notched to facilitate gripping of the cut off edge of the paper.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
72 words
The device set forth in claim 5 including: a second cover fixed to said frame on the other side of same and curving about said axis in concentric relation thereto, said curved member being in telescoping relation therewith in moving from said first position to said second position, said second cover extending through the frame center to close adjacency with said marginal element when said curved member is in its first position.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
199 words
The device set forth in claim 1 wherein: said mounting means comprises: said cover including a side flange along either end of same, said casing being respectively secured to the respective cover flanges in opposed relation, a pair of side members adapted to be secured to an existing paper roller holder fixture in spaced apart relation to receive the cover side flanges therebetween, said cover being journaled between said side members for swinging movement about an axis spaced from the first mentioned axis, said casings being mounted in the respective cover side flanges for movement longitudinally of said first mentioned axis, said casings being mounted in the respective cover side flanges for movement longitudinally of said first mentioned axis, said casiNgs each including a cam surface adapted to engage the respective side members on moving said cover from said second position to said first portion to extend same with the roll bore, and means for spring biasing said casings away from each other to retract said casings from the roll bore on moving said cover from said first position to said second position, said cam surface and last mentioned spring biasing means comprising said casing extending and retracting means.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
30 words
The device set forth in claim 8 wherein: said side members each include a boss adapted to be lodge in the respective recesses of the arms of the existing fixture.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
29 words
The device set forth in claim 9 wherein: said side members are formed from a resiliently flexible material and are proportioned for snap fitting insertion into the existing fixture.
