Patent ID: 7407238

Claim:
A dispenser comprising: (A) a dispenser housing comprising: a dispenser body defining an interior portion and a dispenser body access opening; and an access door that is mounted to selectively restrict access to said interior portion through said access opening; (B) a storage cartridge that is mounted on one or more rolling mechanisms to roll adjacent said dispenser body; and (C) a storage cartridge positioning system that is adapted to facilitate moving said storage cartridge into a “loading position” in which said storage cartridge is positioned to be loaded into said dispenser, wherein: said dispenser is configured so that when said storage cartridge is in said loading position, said access door may be moved between a first position, in which said access door does not substantially restrict access to said interior portion through said access opening, and (2) a second position, in which said access door restricts access to said interior portion through said access opening; said dispenser is further configured so that the motion of said access door from said first position to said second position serves to urge said storage cartridge from said “loading position” into a “loaded position” in which said storage cartridge is disposed substantially within said dispenser housings; said storage cartridge positioning system is adapted to receive a particular one of said one or more rolling mechanisms and to maintain said rolling mechanism in a substantially fixed lateral position relative to said dispenser housing as said storage cartridge is being moved from said “loading position” into said “loaded position”; said storage cartridge positioning system comprises a rolling mechanism guide that is adapted to guide said particular rolling mechanism into a predetermined position relative to said dispenser housing; said rolling mechanism guide comprises a shock absorber disposed between said rolling mechanism support portion and said dispenser housings; and said shock absorber is adapted to reduce the force exerted on said dispenser housing when said storage cartridge engages said rolling mechanism guide.
