Abstract:
A toilet paper dispenser and folder system for dispensing a variety of paper lengths in a folded configuration in a sanitary and efficient manner comprising, in combination;a frame subassembly having a front panel and a parallel rear panel, each panel having a rectilinear configuration, with each panel having a large aperture and a paper roll holder aperture and a lower roller aperture and an upper roller slot with the panels being coupled by a dowel-like toilet paper roll holder coupled in each of the paper roll holder apertures, the frame subassembly also having an upper feeder roller and a lower feeder roller, with the lower feeder roller having a thread on one end and being disposed between and coupled to the panels, the lower feeder roller coupling to the lower roller apertures with a bushing on each of the panels thereby rotating freely and with the upper feeder roller ends being slidably accommodated into the slots of each of the panels, by gravity the upper and lower feeder rollers touch each other thus a rotation by the lower feeder roller results in a counter rotation of the upper feeder roller creating a pulling action; a paper rotation subassembly having a cylindrical housing and a roller arm and a backplate, the cylindrical housing being fabricated of a rigid material having a hollow cylindrical configuration having a cutting edge and a guide, and the roller arm having a bolt hole through the middle and being located within the cylindrical housing and having a generally slightly curved U-shaped configuration, and backplate being flat and circular with a centrally located shaft hole; and a pulley subassembly having a rotator bolt with two threaded ends and a bushing and a plurality of threaded nuts and a larger pulley with a central hole and a smaller pulley with a central hole and a pulley belt, with the rotator bolt being coupled to the roller arm with a pair of threaded nuts, and with the rotator bolt being coupled to the backplate with a bushing and a pair of threaded nuts, thereby rotating freely, the larger pulley being coupled to the rotator bolt with a pair of threaded nuts, the smaller pulley being coupled to the lower roller with a pair of threaded nuts and the pulleys being coupled and driven by the pulley belt whereby a user may rotate the roller arm clockwise and pull the paper from the roll, between the feeder rollers into the spool and onto the arm to achieve the desired plurality of layers whereby the arm rotation is reversed and the paper is cut and then removed through the aperture in the front panel.
