Abstract

A toilet paper dispensing device comprises a body having 2 vertically-stacked chambers and a generally quarter-cylindrical door which retractably opens in order to expose the content of the upper chamber. The bottom chamber of the body has the capability of receiving a vertically-stacked pile of precut interfolded dry tissue paper sheets, and the upper chamber of the body has the capability of receiving a horizontally-stacked pile of precut moistened tissue paper sheets, and substantially prevents evaporation of moisture from the upper chamber. The toilet paper dispensing device mounts on a conventional wall-mounted toilet paper roll holder. Alternatively, the toilet paper dispensing device may be screwed or glued directly to a wall. The generally quarter-cylindrical door may be slidably or hingedly mounted on the body in order to be opened and closed. This invention relates to toilet paper dispensing devices, and the principal use of the invention is for dispensing dry and moistened tissue paper.

Description

Descriptioa Title ~ Dual Toilet Paper Dispensing Device Technical Pield ~ This invention relates to toilet paper dispensing devices, more particularly to a toilet paper dispensing device for precut interfolded dry tissue paper sheets and moistened tissue paper sheets.
Background Art ~ There are many instances where it would be desirable to be able to have a toilet paper dispensing device for both precut interfolded dry tissue paper sheets and moistened tissue paper sheets.
~ A number of utility and design patents disclose toilet paper dispensing devices.
~ Canadian Patent 224 222 discloses "TOILET PAPER HOLDER", Canadian Patent 231 028 discloses "TOILET PAPER HOLDER", and Canadian Patent 245 169 discloses "TOILET PAPER DISPENSER".
These prior arts dispense precut dry tissue paper sheets.
~ Canadian Patent 1 023 707 discloses "ACCESS APERTURE AND
DISPENSER FOR INTERFOLDED TOILET TISSUES". This prior art dispenses precut interfolded dry tissue paper sheets.
~ U.S. Patent 5 439 521 discloses "Dispenser for storing and dispensing moistened toilet tissue", and U.S. Pateat 5 697 577 discloses "Premoistened toilet paper dispenser". These prior arts dispense moistened tissue paper roll, and they mount on a conventional wall-mounted toilet paper roll holder.
~ U.S. Patent 5 311 986 discloses "Premoistened wipe dispenser for conventional toilet-tissue roll holders", and U.S. Patent 618 008 discloses "Apparatus for dispensing multiple productions from a single tissue roll holder". These prior arts dispense dry tissue paper roll and moistened tissue paper sheets, and they mount on a conventional wall-mounted toilet paper roll holder.
~ U.S. Design Patent 377 284 discloses "Combined toilet paper and moist towelette dispenser". This prior art dispenses dry tissue paper roll and moistened tissue paper sheets.
~ These prior art arrangements do not dispense precut interfolded dry tissue paper sheets and moistened tissue paper sheets, and permanently mount on a conventional wall-mounted toilet paper roll holder.
Description of the Inventioa ~ It is a primary object of the invention to provide a toilet paper dispensing device that dispenses both precut interfolded dry tissue paper sheets and moistened tissue paper sheets.
~ It is another object of the invention to provide a toilet paper dispensing device that permanently mounts on a conventional wall-mounted toilet paper roll holder.
~ A toilet paper dispensing device comprises a body having 2 vertically-stacked chambers and a generally quarter-cylindrical door which retractably opens in order to expose the content of the upper chamber. The bottom chamber of the body has the capability of receiving a vertically-stacked pile of precut interfolded dry tissue paper sheets, and the upper chamber of the body has the capability of receiving a hori2:ontally-stacked pile of precut moistened tissue paper sheets, and substantially prevents evaporation of moisture from the upper chamber. The toilet paper dispensing device mounts on a conventional wall-mounted toilet paper roll holder. Alternatively, the toilet paper dispensing device may be screwed or glued directly to a wall. The generally quarter-cylindrical door may be slidably or hingedly mounted on the body in order to be opened and closed.
Brief Description of the Figures is the Drawiags ~ In drawings which illustrate embodiments of the invention:
Figure 1 marked "Prior Art" is a perspective view of a conventional toilet paper dispensing device;
Figure 2 is a perspective view of one embodiment of a toilet paper dispensing device according to the invention;
Figure 3 is a front view of the invention of Figure 2;
Figure 4 is a sectional view of the invention along line I-I of Figure Z;
Figure 5 is a sectional view of one embodiment of the invention along line It-II of Figure 2; and Figure 6 is a sectional view of another embodiment of the invention along line II-II of Figure 2.
Modes for Carrping Out the Invention ~ In one conventional toilet paper dispensing device shown in Figure 1 (perspective view) marked "Prior Art", a dry tissue paper roll 3-0 is mounted on a spindle 2-0 which is mounted on a conventional wall-mounted toilet paper roll holder 1-0.
~ This prior art arrangement often leads to a messy situation, especially by children.
~ In one embodiment of the invention shown in Figure 2 (perspective view) and in Figure 3 (front view), a toilet paper dispensing device comprises a body 4-0 having 2 vertically-stacked chambers (a lower chamber and an upper chamber), and a generally quarter-cylindrical door 5-0 which retractably opens in order to expose the content of the upper chamber.
~ Figure 4 shows a sectional view of the invention along line I-I of Figure 2. Figure 5 shows a sectional view of one embodiment of the invention along line II-II of Figure 2.
Figure 6 shows a sectional view of another embodiment of the invention along line II-II of Figure 2.
~ The body 4-0 is defined by a rectangular bottom wall 4-1, a rectangular middle wall 4-2, a rectangular front wall 4-3, a pair of opposed side walls 4-4, and a back wall 4-5. The middle wall 4-2 forms a physical water-proof barrier between the lower chamber and the upper chamber. The front wall 4-3 extends upwardly from the bottom wall 4-1 to the middle wall 4-2. The front wall 4-3 has portions defining an opening. The side walls 4-4 extends upwardly from the bottom wall 4-1.
Each side wall 4-4 is rectangular below the middle wall 4-2, and is generally semi-circular above the middle wall 4-2. The back wall 4-5 extends upwardly from the bottom wall 4-1 to the middle wall 4-2. The back wall 4-5 is rectangular below the middle wall 4-2, and is generally quarter-cylindrical above the middle wall 4-2.
~ The bottom chamber of the body 4-0 has the capability of receiving a vertically-stacked pile of precut interfolded dry tissue paper sheets 6-1 so that a user can pull out each dry tissue paper sheet 6-1 through the opening of the front wall 4-3. The upper chamber of the body 4-0 has the capability of receiving a horizontally-stacked pile of precut moistened tissue paper sheets 6-2 so that a user can pull out each moistened tissue paper sheet 6-2 from the pile.
~ The generally quarter-cylindrical door 5-0 substantially prevents evaporation of moisture from the upper chamber of the toilet paper dispensing device when the generally quarter-cylindrical door 5-0 is closed.

~ Each side wall 4-4 of the body 4-0 may further comprise a cylindrical rod 4-6 securely attached to the side wall 4-4 for deformably mounting on a conventional wall-mounted toilet paper roll holder 1-0, as shown in Figure 3 and Figure 4.
~ The back wall 4-5 of the body 4-0 may further comprise a foam pad 4-7 in order to stably position the toilet paper dispensing device to a wall in a self-adjusting fashion, as shown in Figure 5 and Figure 6.
~ Alternatively, the back wall 4-5 of the body 4-0 may further comprise a plurality of holes in order to screw the toilet paper dispensing device directly to a wall. The back wall 4-5 of the body 4-0 may further comprise at least one adhesive in order to glue the toilet paper dispensing device directly to a wall.
~ The generally quarter-cylindrical door 5-0 may be slidably mounted on the body 4-0 in order to be opened and closed, as shown in Figure 5 (open position). The generally quarter-cylindrical door 5-0 may be hingedly mounted on the body 4-0 in order to be opened and closed, as shown in Figure 6 (open position).
~ The generally quarter-cylindrical door 5-0 may further comprise a button 5-1 or a notch in order to facilitate opening and closing.
~ The generally quarter-cylindrical door 5-0 may further comprise a spring securely attached to the body 4-0 in order to continually bias the generally quarter-cylindrical door 5-0 to cover the opening of the upper chamber in a self-closing fashion.
