Abstract
A toilet tissue dispenser adapted to be mounted on a toilet facility wall for retaining a plurality of paper rolls. The toilet tissue dispenser secures a plurality of paper rolls against theft and includes a body having a mounting plate, and a pair of spaced apart side flanges. A hanger assembly is pivotally mounted between the side flanges and includes a grab bar mounted therebetween. A pair of parallel and spaced apart end support weldments and a center weldment depend from the grab bar. The center weldment is equally spaced between the end support weldments, and is parallel thereto. A spindle extends through axially aligned holes in the end and center weldments to support the plurality of paper rolls. Each end of the spindle includes a spindle lock complimentarily sized to fit within a locking recess formed in the respective end flanges. A key rotates the spindle lock into or out of engagement with the locking recess. When the spindle lock is moved out of engagement with the recess, the hanger assembly may be moved to an open position where the spindle may be moved within the holes to permit the loading of the paper roll. In a second embodiment of the invention, safety grab bar extensions extend outwardly from the side flanges, in axial alignment with the grab bar.
