Abstract
A dispenser for locating beneath a wall cabinet or shelf and provided for dispensing sheet materials, or boxed material, such as sheets, or bags. The dispenser includes a pair of support beams, one normally for locating the front, and the other at the back, and a pivotal door connecting to the front beam. The space between the beams are compartmentalized, and end walls provide closure to the dispenser. The various compartments are provided for mounting miscellaneous rolls or boxes of dispensed material. One or more styles of clamps connect to one or both of the beams, and can hold, for example, a roll of paper towels, while other compartments include lower flanges, for support of the rolls or boxed material, for dispensing. Various types of roll holding devices, such as shaped wire, are resilient and flexible members are designed for holding rolls of the sheet materials in place, during dispensing. The dispenser may be reversed, to locate the rolled dispensing material, such as towels, at either end of the dispenser. A shaped wire, or thin flexible member, may extend from one beam of the dispenser, for engagement within the bottom of a box, for holding the box of material during dispensing, or the device may be used in a drawer, to hold boxed goods therein for dispensing.
