A resistance mechanism for a sheet product dispenser for dispensing a length of sheet product from a roll of sheet product rotatably supported by the sheet product dispenser is provided. The resistance mechanism includes an arm configured to frictionally engage a surface of the roll of sheet product, and a spring attached to the arm and configured to bias the arm into engagement with the surface of the roll of sheet product, such that the resistance mechanism provides a pull force resistance opposing a pull force applied to a tail portion of the roll of sheet product.

Sheet product dispensers and related methods for reducing sheet product usage

A sheet product roll holder may include a support arm, a spindle, a flowable material container, and an automated flowable material dispensing mechanism. The support arm may define a first longitudinal axis. The spindle may be coupled to the support arm and define a second longitudinal axis extending transverse to the first longitudinal axis, and the spindle may be configured to rotatably support a roll of sheet product thereon. The flowable material container may be positioned at least partially within the spindle and define a third longitudinal axis extending coaxially with the second longitudinal axis, and the flowable material container may include a container body and a volume of a flowable material positioned within the container body. The automated flowable material dispensing mechanism may be positioned at least partially within the support arm and configured to dispense the flowable material from the flowable material container.

Sheet product roll holder with integrated flowable material dispensing mechanism

A method of dispensing a user-determined length of sheet product from a roll of sheet product via a sheet product dispenser is provided. The method includes the steps of providing the roll of sheet product rotatably supported by the sheet product dispenser for dispensing sheet product therefrom, wherein the roll of sheet product rotates in response to a pull force applied to a tail portion of the roll of sheet product; and providing, via the sheet product dispenser, a pull force resistance opposing the rotation of the roll of sheet product, wherein the pull force resistance is between 36 grams-force and 96 grams-force throughout a majority of a life of the roll of sheet product.

Urinal screens are provided including an outer ring and a web portion bounded by the outer ring and formed from a plurality of web strings disposed in a mesh pattern, such that a plurality of open areas are defined among the web strings. The web portion includes a vaulted portion. Urinal screen assemblies are also provided and include a urinal screen and a bioenzymatic block containing odor combatting chemistry disposed in a void formed by the vaulted portion of the urinal screen.

Fluid dispenser

Automated air freshener dispensers and cartridges therefor are provided herein. Air freshener dispensers include a housing having a cavity for receiving a cartridge containing an air freshening substance for release, a fan that induces an airflow through the housing and directs the airflow to an area outside of the air freshener dispenser, such that released air freshening substance is entrained in the airflow, a motor for driving the fan, at least one sensor, and a controller that receives a signal from the at least one sensor and directs operation of the fan in response thereto.

Air freshener dispensers, cartridges therefor, systems, and methods

An automated flowable material dispenser for dispensing flowable material from a flowable material container is provided. The dispenser may include a dispenser housing and a motor assembly. The dispenser housing may include a dispensing opening and be configured to receive the flowable material container therein. The motor assembly may be positioned within the dispenser housing and configured to translate with respect to the dispenser housing between a home position and a dispensing position to dispense the flowable material from the flowable material container. The motor assembly may include a motor housing and a motor positioned at least partially within the motor housing.
