Abstract
Abstract Presented is an auxiliary rolled toilet tissue holder and storage device constructed as a separate unitary structure for mounting on the conventional lugs found on the conventional recessed rolled toilet tissue receptacle. The device provides a housing portion within which a recess is provided to receive the extra roll of toilet tissue. From the housing project mounting arms that pivotally lock into the conventional rolled toilet tissue receptacle lugs. The extra roll of toilet tissue is accessible by merely pivoting the housing away from the wall, permitting the extra roll to fall into one's hand.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
155 words
An auxiliary rolled toilet tissue holder and storage device for holding a first roll of toilet tissue in position of accessibility and for storing at least one additional roll of toilet tissue in position for ready accessibility when said first roll of toilet tissue is expended, comprising: (a) a housing including a recess adapted to receive for storage said at least one additional roll of toilet tissue; (b) a pair of resiliently flexible arms integral with and extending from said housing and having free end portions laterally spaced apart; (c) means on the free end portions of said resiliently flexible arms operative to selectively pivotally suspend said housing on a conventional rolled toilet tissue mounting structure; and (d) means on the free end portions of said resiliently flexible arms operative to receive and rotatably support a conventional toilet tissue roll spindle on which said first roll of toilet tissue is supported in position of accessibility.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
155 words
An auxiliary rolled toilet tissue holder and storage device for holding a first roll of toilet tissue in position of accessibility and for storing at least one additional roll of toilet tissue in position for ready accessibility when said first roll of toilet tissue is expended, comprising: (a) a housing including a recess adapted to receive for storage said at least one additional roll of toilet tissue; (b) a pair of resiliently flexible arms integral with and extending from said housing and having free end portions laterally spaced apart; (c) means on the free end portions of said resiliently flexible arms operative to selectively pivotally suspend said housing on a conventional rolled toilet tissue mounting structure; and (d) means on the free end portions of said resiliently flexible arms operative to receive and rotatably support a conventional toilet tissue roll spindle on which said first roll of toilet tissue is supported in position of accessibility.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
50 words
The combination according to claim 1, in which said means on the free end portions of said resiliently flexible arms operative to receive a conventional toilet tissue roll spindle comprises opposed channels adapted to guide said spindle into mounted position on the free end portions of said resiliently flexible arms.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
45 words
The combination according to claim 1, in which said means on the free end portions of said resiliently flexible arms operative to selectively pivotally suspend said housing and rotatably support said spindle comprise oppositely projecting axially aligned apertured bosses integrally formed on said flexible arms.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
181 words
An auxiliary rolled toilet tissue holder and storage device for holding a first roll of toilet tissue in position of accessibility and for storing a second roll of toilet tissue in position for ready accessibility when said first roll of toilet tissue is expended, comprising: (a) a housing including a recess adapted to receive for storage said second roll of toilet tissue; (b) a pair of resiliently flexible arms extending from said housing and having free end portions laterally spaced apart; (c) means on the free end portions of said resiliently flexible arms operative to selectively pivotally suspend said housing on a conventional rolled toilet tissue mounting structure; (d) means on the free end portions of said resiliently flexible arms operative to receive a conventional toilet tissue roll spindle on which said first roll of toilet tissue is supported in position of accessibility; and (e) means projecting from said housing portion and between said resiliently flexible arms whereby toilet tissue may be dispensed from the backside of said first roll and guided over the outside of said housing for ready accessibility.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
181 words
