The device includes a wrapper that can be wrapped around the second roll of toilet tissue for concealing the second roll of toilet tissue.

The prior art relates to holder devices including a toilet paper holder which includes a pair of holding areas being vertically stacked for holding a pair of rolls of toilet tissue in a vertical stack. The prior art discloses a toilet tissue holder that includes a bracket for holding a first roll of toilet tissue and a basket positioned beneath the bracket for holding a second roll of toilet tissue. The prior discloses a variety of toilet tissue holders which hold a pair of rolls of toilet tissue in a vertically stacked orientation. The prior art discloses a modular toilet tissue holder which can be assembled in a variety of configurations.

BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

An embodiment of the disclosure meets the needs presented above by generally comprising a bracket that is mountable to a vertical support surface at a point located proximate a lavatory. A shaft is provided and the shaft removably engages the bracket to support a first roll of toilet tissue on the bracket. A holder is coupled to and extends upwardly from the bracket to support a second roll of toilet tissue. In this way the second roll of toilet tissue is accessible when the first roll of toilet tissue is depleted. A wrapping is formable into a cylinder and the wrapping can be wrapped around the second roll of toilet tissue when the second roll of toilet tissue is being stored on the holder.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

As best illustrated inFIGS.1through6, the bathroom tissue holder assembly10generally comprises a bracket12that is mountable to a vertical support surface14at a point that is located proximate a lavatory16. In this way the bracket12is accessible to a user of the lavatory16. The bracket12has a central portion18extending between a pair of outward portions20, and the outward portions20are spaced apart from each other and are perpendicularly oriented with respect to the central portion18such that the bracket12has a U-shape. Each of the outward portions20has an inwardly facing surface22that is directed toward each other and a distal end24with respect to the central portion18. The central portion18has a top edge26, a rear surface28and a front surface30.

Each of the outward portions20has a receiver32that is recessed into the inwardly facing surface22. The receiver32on each of the outward portions20is positioned adjacent to the distal end24of the outward portions20. The receiver32in each of the outward portions20has a bounding surface34and the bounding surface34of the receiver32in each of the outward portions20is continuously arcuate such that the receiver32in each of the outward portions20has a circular shape. The receiver32in each of the outward portions20extends outwardly beyond an outwardly facing surface35of the outward portions20. The central portion18has a pair of holes36each extending through the central portion18to accommodate a fastener38to engage the vertical support surface14. Additionally, each of the holes36is positioned proximate a respective one of the outward portions20. Each of the holes36has a bounding surface40and the bounding surface40of each of the holes36is chamfered with respect to the front surface30of the central portion18.

A shaft44is included which has a first portion46that slidably engages a second portion48such that the shaft44has a telescopically adjustable length. The shaft44removably engages the bracket12to support a first roll of toilet tissue50on the bracket12. The shaft44has a first end51and a second end52, and each of the first end51and the second end52is inserted into the receiver32in a respective one of the outward portions20. The shaft44is biased into an extended position having the first end51being directed away from the second end52for retaining the shaft44in the receiver32in each of the outward portions20. The shaft44is collapsible having the first end51being urged toward the second end52for removing the shaft44from the receiver32in each of the outward portions20.

A holder54is coupled to and extends upwardly from the bracket12to support a second roll of toilet tissue56thereby facilitating the second roll of toilet tissue56to be accessible when the first roll of toilet tissue50is depleted. In this way the user can employ the second roll of toilet tissue56in the event that the first roll of toilet tissue50is depleted before the user finishes cleaning themselves while employing the lavatory16. The holder54has a coupled end58and a free end60, and the holder54has a series of bends62that are integrated into the holder54. The series of bends62are spaced apart from each other and are distributed between the coupled end58and the free end60. The series of bends62defines a medial portion64lying on a plane that is perpendicularly oriented with each of a lower portion66and an upper portion68.

The coupled end58is associated with the lower portion66, the free end60is associated with the upper portion68and the free end60is rounded. The coupled end58is coupled to the top edge26of the central portion18of the bracket12having each of the upper portion68and the lower portion66lying on a vertical plane and has the medial portion64lying on a horizontal plane. In this way the upper portion68extends through the second roll of toilet tissue56having the second roll of toilet tissue56lying on the medial portion64. The holder54has a first lateral edge70and a second lateral edge72. Each of the first lateral edge70and the second lateral edge72curves inwardly toward each other at an intersection between the medial portion64and the upper portion68. Thus, the upper portion68has a width that is less than a width of each of the medial portion64and the lower portion66. Furthermore, the upper portion68extends along an axis that is oriented perpendicular to an axis extending between the first end51and the second end52of the shaft44when the shaft44is positioned in the receiver32in each of the outward portions20of the bracket12.

A wrapping74is provided and the wrapping74is formable into a cylinder. In this way the wrapping74can be wrapped around the second roll of toilet tissue56when the second roll of toilet tissue56is being stored on the holder54. In this way the wrapping74enhances conceals the appearance of the second roll of toilet tissue56. The wrapping74has an exposed surface76which is exposed when the wrapping74is wrapped around the second roll of toilet tissue56. Furthermore, the exposed surface76has indicia78printed thereon to enhance the ornamental appearance of the second roll of toilet tissue56. The indicia78may comprise a logo, an image or any other ornamental indicia.

In use, the bracket12is mounted to the vertical support surface14at a location that is easily accessible to the user when the user employs the lavatory16. The shaft44is extended through the first roll of toilet tissue50and the shaft44is engaged in the receiver32in each of the outward portions20of the bracket12. In this way the user can employ the first roll of toilet tissue50when the user employs the lavatory16. The wrapping74is wrapped around the second roll of toilet tissue56and the second roll of toilet tissue56the upper portion68of the holder54is extended through the second roll of toilet tissue56having the second roll of toilet tissue56lying on the medial portion64of the holder54. In this way the second roll of toilet tissue56is immediately accessible to the user in the event that the first roll of toilet tissue50is depleted while the user is employing the lavatory16.
