The lower sliding surface is formed by a plurality of spaced runners separated by recesses. The stack is held by first and second compression members against a bottom part of the steep portion of the sliding surface to take the weight of the upper part of the stack from the part of the stack sliding on the lower curved surface. | 01-15-2015 |

20160051100 | SHEET PRODUCT DISPENSER - A dispenser is disclosed that includes a housing defining an interior volume for receiving a stack of sheet products, an actuator, a dispensing member, a roller, and a support structure for engaging a front face of the stack including opposed shelves for supporting opposed sides of the front face. 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 roller 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 depending upon which of the user interface ledges is actuated, 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. | 02-25-2016 |
20160051330 | BOXED GLOVE DISPENSER - A boxed glove dispenser has a front and an opposite back, two spaced apart ends connecting the front and the back, a top connecting the front, back, and ends, and a bottom opposite the top. The bottom has a lesser depth than the top and connects to the front and the back using two rails. The rails provide two edges parallel to the length of the dispenser and elevate a box placed upon the rails slightly above the bottom. The bottom also has a grate centered in it. The grate has a transverse orientation to the length of the bottom. The grate operates as an opening into the dispenser, yet the opening limits a medical provider's access within the dispenser to no more than two fingers while promoting single glove retrieval from any glove box placed within the dispenser. | 02-25-2016 |
