| 20130193261 | Sanitary roll paper towel holder - This invention solves some critical issues of contamination and waste of paper taken from a roll of paper towels for cleaning. Two hands are required to remove a sheet, one to restrain the roll and the other to pull the sheet away The hand restraining the roll will leave contamination, exposing others to bacteria. Users will consume more paper than is required to get a clean sheet. This invention solves the problem using a self adjusting vertical clamp bar to restrain the roll, that is held on a vertical post, and horizontal base, eliminating the need to use a second contaminated hand. The clamp bar will self adjust to roll size as sheets are removed. | 08-01-2013 |
| 20150122935 | Traction control system for expansion and deployment of compact tightly wound paper with die cut slits - A traction control system expands and deploys compact tightly wound precut paper with die cut slits. The system has an axle with a smaller diameter as compared to the diameter of tube over which a precut paper package is wound, thereby providing friction free rotation. The precut paper roll rests against a spongy device at one end. The other end of the precut paper role rubs against an adjustable cylinder assembly, providing friction that prevents paper spill and misalignment. The precut paper is manually fed to a paper-handling-mechanism having a large diameter central bulge roll contacting a spring-loaded small diameter roll. A flat belt strung between two pulleys contacts the large diameter roll at the bottom to thereby support the paper. Precut paper exiting the paper-handling-mechanism is manually pulled by user in any direction to expand the precut slits and thereby create a three-dimensionally shaped paper web for packaging. Hard pulling breaks the paper without need for rethreading the paper-handling mechanism. | 05-07-2015 |
