       BACKGROUND 
       [0005]    Dispensing of toilet tissue in roll form is well known in the art. Typical dispensers for tissue rolls generally include a base that is attached to a wall or other supporting surface, and support arms that extend transversely from the base. A spindle is inserted through the roll and engaged in recesses or divots at the ends of the support arms. 
         [0006]    Numerous dispensers have been developed in the art specifically for dispensing stacked individual tissue sheets. Such dispensers typically permit the user to remove any number of sheets one at a time in a manner such that the adjacent sheet is presented for easy grasping and removal from the dispenser. Efforts have been made to incorporate such dispensers with existing conventional rolled product dispensing fixtures so that the dispenser need not be separately mounted. 
         [0007]    One embodiment provides an improved folded tissue sheet dispenser adapted for configuration with conventional roll product dispensing fixtures. 
         [0008]    While certain novel features of this invention shown and described below are pointed out in the annexed claims, the invention is not intended to be limited to the details specified, since a person of ordinary skill in the relevant art will understand that various omissions, modifications, substitutions and changes in the forms and details of the device illustrated and in its operation may be made without departing in any way from the spirit of the present invention. No feature of the invention is critical or essential unless it is expressly stated as being “critical” or “essential.”

In one embodiment the container can include extendable connecting arms which can detachably connect to a conventional toilet paper dispenser. 
         [0012]    One embodiment provides a dispenser for dry sheets which can be wetted by a liquid added to the container component by the user or consumer. 
         [0013]    In one embodiment is provided a supplemental dispenser for detachably mounting on a conventional toilet paper dispenser, the apparatus having a container component adapted to accept or pre-loaded with wetted, self-wetting or wettable sheet material. 
         [0014]    In one embodiment is provided releasable attachment mechanism for the container housing for detachably mounting on a conventional toilet paper dispenser. 
         [0015]    In one embodiment is provided a detachable mount having extendable arms for attachment of the container conventional toilet-tissue dispenser to releasably engage a toilet-tissue supporting rod or spindle of the dispenser. 
         [0016]    One embodiment provides a supplementary dispenser configured for dispensing a supply of wipes and/or folded tissues from a dispenser fixture that has extendable and retractable support arms. The fixture may be, for example, a conventional tissue roll dispenser wherein the support arms include a opening at their ends into which the ends of a rod or spindle are received. The rod spindle is typically inserted through a core or hollow member provided in the bathroom tissue roll. In various embodiments the toilet paper dispenser can be a “stand alone” dispenser with a rod or spindle, and in various embodiments the rod or spindle can be permanently attached to the stand alone toilet paper dispenser. 
         [0017]    The supplemental dispenser includes a housing container having an internal compartment volume configured to retain a supply of folded issue sheets. The housing is not limited to any particular style, configuration, or shape, and may take on any aesthetically pleasing configuration and be made of any conventional material. 
         [0018]    In one embodiment, the housing is an elongated box-like structure. The housing may be refillable, or can be a disposable item to be discarded after depletion of the tissue supply. It should also be appreciated that the dispenser is not limited to any particular type of product to be dispensed, but is particularly well suited for dispensing a stack of interfolded tissue sheets. The tissue sheets may be dry or pre-moistened. 
         [0019]    A dispensing opening is defined in a wall of the housing. The opening may be, for example, a door in a top surface, bottom surface, or side surface of the housing. The opening provides a location for a consumer to easily access, grasp, and pull individual tissue sheets from the dispenser. 
         [0020]    Retractable and extendable support arms can be provided on opposed exterior side walls of the container housing. Each support arm can include an opening with a shape and configuration for engagement with a portion of a spindle. In various embodiments the retraction and extension can be obtained by pivoting or rotational type movements while in other embodiments can be obtained by sliding type movements. 
         [0021]    In one embodiment the support arms can be extendable and retractable in positions along their respective tracks allowing the container housing to be adaptable with different fixtures having varying length support arms along with allowing the container housing to provide frictional resistance to the roll of toilet paper. In one particular embodiment, the support arms are variably positionable along their tracks. In one embodiment a releasable engagement mechanism is provided between each support arm and the container housing, which can include a ratcheting mechanism such as a resiliently mounted positioning button which can be connected to one of a plurality of positioning openings disposed along each arms length. 
         [0022]    In one embodiment the extension member may be resiliently biased towards the openings. Any configuration of engaging members operatively disposed between the slide member and position bar may be used. In an alternate embodiment, each arm may be frictionally retained in position relative to the track. 
         [0023]    In one embodiment the supplemental dispenser may also include a supply of folded tissues disposed within the container housing. The container housing may be openable and refillable with a cartridge of tissues in the form of, for example, a bag or pouch-like container insertable into the housing. 
         [0024]    In one embodiment is provided a container including an openable door:
       (a) when closed is hermetically seals the interior volume of the container, and   (b) when opened provides access to at least one sheet of a plurality of sheets. In one embodiment the door is pivotally connected to the container (e.g. hingedly connected).       
 
         [0027]    In one embodiment a basic liquid employed as above described may, for example, can be largely a distilled sterile water, water and alcohol, or water, alcohol and an emollient such as lanolin. A fragrance may also be included. Other possible ingredients comprise a humectant, e.g., glycerine or propylene glycol, an appropriate antiseptic or germicidal substance, or a bacteriostat, a mineral oil, an emulsifying agent and a stabilizing agent. While a liquid as, for example, a liquid having a cleansing and sterilizing property may be used, the sheets may alternatively use a treating agent such as a powder, a salve, a cream or the like. 
         [0028]    In one embodiment the wetted sheets have an adequate tear strength to withstand withdrawal from the container and such sheets they may multilayered. 
         [0029]    In one embodiment the container and its components are comprised of plastic composition, e.g., a thermoplastic such as polystyrene, polypropylene, a polycarbonate, ABS, etc., and are formed, for example, by an injection molding method.

         [0091]    In one embodiment supplemental dispenser  10  can be attached to a conventionally available toilet paper dispenser  100  having a roll of toilet paper  170 . Such fixtures  100  are well known and a typical fixture  100  is shown in  FIGS. 1 through 3 , with a frame  110 , support arms  120 , and recesses  130 , along with a telescoping rod or spindle  150 . Each of the support arms  120  typically includes a recess  130 . A conventional rod or spindle  150  having tabs  160  on each end is typically inserted through a hollow core of support tube  172  of a roll of toilet paper  170  and received in the recesses  130 . 
         [0092]      FIG. 19  is a perspective view of an alternative version of a supplemental dispenser  10 ′ with folding/pivoting arms  400 , 500  which arms are also telescopically extendable (respectively via telescoping sections  470 , 570 ) to vary the depth from which the dispenser  10  will hang vertically from a rod or spindle  150  of a toilet paper dispenser  100 . 
         [0093]      FIG. 20  is a schematic view of one of the arms  500  shown in  FIG. 19  taken from the external side of the arm  500 .  FIG. 21  is a side view of arm  500  taken from the internal side, where arm  500  is in a retracted position (with telescoping section  570  in its lowermost position) and locked in place in such retracted position (via locking button  574  locking into the lowermost opening of plurality of openings  568 ), and schematically the length of such upper portion is indicated as L 1 .  FIG. 22  is a side view of arm  500  taken from the internal side, where telescoping section  570  arm is in an extended position and locked in place in such extended position (via locking button  574  locking into the uppermost opening of plurality of openings  568 ), and schematically the length of such upper portion is indicated as L 2  where L 2  is larger than L 1 . Any intermediate telescoping position for telescoping section  570  can be selected via locking button  574  into one of the intermediate openings of plurality of openings where the length of such upper section will be between L 1  and L 2 . Arm  400  can be constructed substantially similar to arm  500 . 
         [0094]      FIG. 23  is a top view of arm  400 , where telescoping section  470  arm is in a retracted position and locked in place in such retracted position (via locking button  474  locking into the lowermost opening of plurality of openings  468 ). Arrow  490  schematically indicates that locking button  474  can be pushed in to unlock arm and move to another position.  FIG. 24  is an internal side view of the telescoping section  470  of arm  400 , and  FIG. 25  is a perspective view of the telescoping section  470 . Telescoping section  470  can include second end  476 , locking button  474 , and stopping tables  478 . Locking button  474  can be biased outside of telescoping section via biased section  480 . 
         [0095]      FIG. 26  is a side view of the alternative supplemental dispenser  10 ′ with folding arms  400 , 500  attached to and hanging vertically from a spindle  150  of a toilet paper dispenser  100 . Gap  30  indicates the distance between dispenser bottom  30  and wall  20 . The distance of the upper section of container  200  to the bottom of the roll of toilet paper  170  can be varied by changing the amount of telescoping (e.g., L 1 , L 2 , or some other length) of the two telescoping sections  470  and  570 . 
         [0096]      FIG. 27  is a side view of alternative supplemental dispenser  10 ′ with folding arms  400 , 500  attached to and hanging from a spindle  150  of a toilet paper dispenser  100 , and a positioning arm/spacer  350  being attached to place the dispenser container  200 ′ in a non vertical position relative to the wall as schematically indicated by angle  34 . Positioning arm  350  can be threaded to container  200 ′ 
         [0097]      FIG. 28  is a front view of a supplemental dispenser  10  with folding arms  400 , 500  in an open condition showing the opened spanning distance  710  between the arms being less than the longitudinal length  700  of a roll of toilet paper  170 . In the United States the typical longitudinal length of a roll of toilet paper is 4½ inches (10.16 cm) and are typically wrapped around a cardboard tube  172  having the same longitudinal length  720 . Such typical length can be different in different countries and the typical United States length is not meant to be limiting. Dimensions/gaps  720  show the smaller length of original spanning distance  710  to length  700 . 
         [0098]    Arrows  750  schematically indicate that force will be applied to arms  400 , 500  to increase the original spanning distance  710  so that the arms  400 , 500  can be placed over the roll of toilet paper  170 . 
         [0099]      FIG. 29  shows the arms  400 , 500  now spread greater (to enlarged spanning distance  730 ) than these arms&#39; original opened spanning distance  710  such that the expanded spanning distance  730  is greater than the longitudinal length  700  of a roll of toilet paper. Dimensions/gaps  740  show the greater length of spanning distance  730  to length  700 . 
         [0100]      FIG. 30  shows the supplemental dispenser  10  of  FIGS. 28 and 29  now mounted on a toilet paper dispenser  100  with the roll of toilet paper  170  also on the spindle  150  of the toilet paper dispenser  100 . Arrows  760  schematically indicate the force applied by arms  400 , 500  on toilet paper roll  170  as these arms  400 ,  500  attempt to squeeze the roll of toilet paper  170  to move back to their original spanning distance  710  (the original spanning distance  710  being shown in  FIG. 28 ). This squeezing of the arms  400 , 500  on toilet paper roll  170  will create a frictional force between arms  400 , 500  and toilet paper roll  170 . 
         [0101]    Arrow  800  schematically indicates that a pulling force is applied to sheet  175  which will tend to cause roll of toilet paper  170  to spin in the direction of arrow  810 . Arrow  810  also schematically indicates the turning or spinning torque applied to roll  170  by pulling on sheet  175  in the direction of arrow  800 . Such spinning torque  810  can cause roll of toilet paper  170  to enter a free spinning state where roll  170  spins on spindle  150  and numerous additional unwanted sheets  175 ′,  175 ″,  175 ′″  175 ″″, etc. of toilet paper will “unrolled” from roll  170  as roll  170  continues spinning in its free spinning state. Arrow  820  schematically indicates the resistant/resultant frictional torque applied by friction between arms  400 , 500  and the roll of toilet paper  170  thereby resisting/preventing roll of toilet paper  170  from entering a free spinning state. 
         [0102]      FIG. 31  shows a side view of a person pulling out a wipe  185  from the supplemental dispenser  10  (using first hand  950 ). At the same time as pulling out wipe  185  from supplemental dispenser  10  second hand  960  can be used to hold supplemental dispenser  10  in a state rotational position  34  by pushing in the direction of arrow  910  which force is transmitted to toilet paper dispenser  100  via spacer  320  (as schematically indicated by arrow  830 ). In this manner the rotational position  34  of supplemental dispenser  10  can be maintained during the entire time a wipe  185  is pulled out of supplemental dispenser  10 . In one embodiment, while supplemental dispenser  10  remains rotationally static in its contacting position with spacer  320  (non-vertical angle  34 ), the force applied on supplemental dispenser  10  by hand  960  in the direction of arrow  910  is greater than the force applied to remove the wipe  185  in the direction of arrow  900  by hand  950 . In various embodiments the force on supplemental dispenser  10  keeping it rotationally static is substantially greater than the force applied to remove wipe  185 . In various embodiments for while keeping rotationally static, the force on dispenser  10  is at least 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, 55, 60, 65, 70, 75, 80, 85, 90, 95, and/or 100 larger than the force applied on wipe  185  for removal of wipe  185 . In various embodiments the force on dispenser  10  is greater over the force applied on wipe  185  by an amount ranging between any two of the specified percentages. 
         [0103]      FIG. 31  also schematically shows a sheets  175  of toilet paper being removed from the roll of toilet paper  170  (via arrow  800 ). Arrow  810  also schematically indicates the turning or spinning torque applied to roll  170  by pulling on sheet  175  in the direction of arrow  800 . Such applied spinning torque  810  can cause roll of toilet paper  170  to enter a “free spinning state” where roll  170  freely spins on rod or spindle  150  and numerous additional unwanted additional sheets  175 ′,  175 ″,  175 ′″  175 ″″, etc. of toilet paper will be “unrolled” from roll  170  as roll  170  continues freely spinning on rod or spindle  150 . Arrow  820  schematically indicates the resistant/resultant frictional torque applied by friction created between spread apart arms  400 , 500  and the roll of toilet paper  170  thereby resisting/preventing roll of toilet paper  170  from entering any “free spinning” state. Ultimately, even if spacer  320  is not in an extended state, supplemental dispenser  10  is itself prevented from excessively rotating in the direction of arrow  810  by contact with toilet paper dispenser  100 . However, even before such contact with toilet paper dispenser  100 , the weight/inertia of supplemental dispenser  10  itself will also resist/prevent the entering of a “free spinning” state of toilet paper roll  170  when a hard pull is made to remove sheet  175  from roll of toilet paper  170 . 
         [0104]    In various embodiments is provided a supplemental dispenser  10  for storing and dispensing folded tissue sheets  250 , comprising: (a) a housing  200  having top  205  and bottom  203  portions, opposite exterior side walls located between the top  205  and bottom  203  portions, an internal compartment  202  configured to retain a supply of folded issue sheets  250 , and an openable top  205  providing access to the internal compartment  202 ; (b) a dispensing opening  222  in the top  202 , providing access to the internal compartment  202  which is smaller than the access in the openable top  205 ; (c) a plurality of arms  400 , 500 , located on opposite exterior side walls of the housing  200  and rotatably connected to the housing  200  having closed and open positions, each of the arms  400 , 500  including an opening  430 , 530 ; (d) wherein the plurality of arms  400 , 500  in their open position are supported on the toilet paper dispenser  100  (via spindle  150 ) having a pair of toilet paper dispenser spaced apart arms  120  and the spindle  150 , the spindle  150  also being supported by the pair of toilet paper dispenser spaced apart arms  120 , a roll of toilet paper  170  having a plurality of detachable sheets  175 ,  175 ′,  175 ″, etc. being supported by the spindle  150 , and the arms  400 , 500  of the supplemental dispenser  10  in the open state being attached to the spindle  150  at locations between the roll of toilet paper  170  and the pair of spaced apart toilet paper dispenser arms  120 ; and (e) the arms  400 , 500  engaging the roll of toilet paper  170  resisting free spinning of the roll of toilet paper  170  relative to the spindle  150  when detachable sheets  175 ,  175 ′,  175 ″, etc. are pulled hard from the roll of toilet paper  170 . 
         [0105]    In various embodiments each arm  400 , 500  can be frictionally positionable between open and closed states.

         [0118]    In various embodiments the method further includes the step of pushing on the supplemental dispenser  10  such that the spacer  320  maintains contact on the surface while simultaneously opening the dispensing top  220  and pulling out a wipe  185  from the supplemental dispenser opening  222  while the supplemental dispenser spacer  320  maintains contact with the surface and maintains a constant generally non-vertical  34  angle of the supplemental dispenser  10 . 
         [0119]    In various embodiments the method further includes the step of wherein after pulling out the wipe  185 , the spacer  320  is put into the retracted state causing the supplemental dispenser  10  to be positioned in a generally vertical position  30 . 
         [0120]    In various embodiments of the method and apparatus  10  the spanning distance  710  can be less than 99, 98, 97, 96, 95, 94, 93, 92, 91, 90, 89, 88, 87, 86, 85, 84, 83, 82, 81, 80, 78, 76, 75, 74, 72, 70, 68, 67, 66, 64, 62, 60, 58, 56, 54, and/or 50 percent of the longitudinal length  700  of the roll of toilet paper  170 . In various embodiments of the method and apparatus  10  the spanning distance  710  can be between any two of the referenced percentages of the longitudinal length  700  of the roll of toilet paper  170 . 
         [0121]    In various embodiments of the method and apparatus  10  the additional resistance to free spinning of the roll of toilet paper  170  by the engagement of the arms  400 , 500  with the roll of toilet paper  170  is at least an additional 0.01, 0.02, 0.03, 0.04, 0.05, 0.06, 0.07, 0.08, 0.09, 0.1, 0.11, 0.12, 0.13, 0.14, 0.15, 0.16, 0.17, 0.18, 0.19, 0.2, 0.21, 0.22, 0.23, 0.24, 0.25, 0.26, 0.27, 0.28, 0.29, 0.3, 0.31, 0.32, 0.33, 0.34, 0.35, 0.36, 0.37, 0.38, 0.39, 0.4, 0.41, 0.42, 0.43, 0.44, 0.45, 0.46, 0.47, 0.48, 0.49, 0.5, 0.51, 0.52, 0.53, 0.54, 0.55, 0.56, 0.57, 0.58, 0.59, 0.6, 0.61, 0.62, 0.63, 0.64, 0.65, 0.66, 0.67, 0.68, 0.69, 0.7, 0.71, 0.72, 0.73, 0.74, 0.75, 0.76, 0.77, 0.78, 0.79, 0.8, 0.81, 0.82, 0.83, 0.84, 0.85, 0.86, 0.87, 0.88, 0.89, 0.9, 0.91, 0.92, 0.93, 0.94, 0.95, 0.96, 0.97, 0.98, 0.99, 1.0, 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 1.4, 1.5, 1.6, 1.7, 1.8, 1.9, 2.0, 2.2, 2.2, 2.2, 2.3, 2.4, 2.5, 2.6, 2.7, 2.8, 2.9, 2.0, 3.0, 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, 3.4, 3.5, 3.6, 3.7, 3.8, 3.9, 4.0, 4.0, 4.1, 4.2, 4.3, 4.4, 4.5, 4.6, 4.7, 4.8, 4.9, 5.0, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, and/or 100 newton-meters of torque. In various embodiments the additional resistance to free spinning is an amount between any two of the referenced values of torque values. 
         [0122]    In various embodiments of the method and apparatus a spacer  320  can be connected to the bottom portion  203  of the supplemental dispenser  10 , wherein the spacer  320  has extended and retracted states, and in the extended state the spacer  320  both protrudes beyond the bottom portion  203  of the supplemental dispenser  10  and maintains the supplemental dispenser  10  in a single position  34  in relation to a wall  20  supporting the toilet paper fixture  100 . 
       Shipping Wipes in a Dry State 
       [0123]    In various embodiments the supplemental dispenser  10  can be shipped in large shipments (e.g., a shipping container size) with the wipes  250  in a “dry” condition, and prior to use of a particular supplemental dispenser  10  with its “dry” wipes  250 , a user can “wet” these wipes  250 . Because wipes  250  in a “wet” state are heavier than wipes  250  in a “dry” state, such “wet” condition makes it more costly for shipping large shipments of supplemental dispensers  200 . For example a twenty ( 20 ′) or forty foot ( 40 ′) shipping container filled with supplemental dispensers  10  with “dry” wipes  250  are expected to weigh substantially less than the same shipping container filled with supplemental dispensers with “wet” wipes  250  even though the same volume of space is used in both cases. Therefore, it is believed to be economical to ship large quantities (e.g., a container full) of supplemental dispensers  10  with wipes  250  in a “dry” state along with instructing the users to “wet” the wipes  250  before use in the supplemental dispenser  10 . In these embodiments the commercial packaging would include instructions to the user on the procedure for “wetting” the wipes  250  (e.g., by filling the wipes storage bag with a selected liquid). The user would receive the supplemental dispenser  10  with the plurality of dry wipes  250  in the interior  202  of the supplemental dispenser  10  along with the instructions. The user would remove the plurality of dry wipes  250  from the supplemental dispenser  10 , and following the instructions, wet the wipes  250 . Wetting can be accomplished while the wipes  250  remain inside the interior volume  202  of the supplemental dispenser  10  or while the wipes  250  are removed from the interior volume  202  of the supplemental dispenser  10 . If wetting was performed while the wipes  250  were removed from the interior volume  202 , the user would then reinsert the now wetted wipes  250  in the interior volume  202  of the supplemental dispenser  10 , close the top  205 , and install the supplemental dispenser  10  as described in this application. In one embodiment the user can open the tope  205  of the supplemental dispenser  10 , wet the wipes  250  while these wipes remain in the interior volume  202  of the supplemental dispenser  10 , and then close the top  205 . After wetting the wipes  250 , the supplemental dispenser  10  can be closed, installed on the toilet paper dispenser  100 , and then used as described in this application. 
         [0124]    In various embodiments the number of wipes  250  in a supplemental dispenser  200  can vary. For example, the supplemental dispenser  200  can hold 210 wipes  250 , or can hold 42 wipes  250 . In various embodiments the number of wipes  250  shipped dry to be wetted by the user will also vary as described.
