Patent ID: 7066422

Claim:
An axial center dispensing plastic sheet roll comprising: a plastic sheet roll of multiple, discrete, consecutive, plastic sheets arranged to form a roll, the roll arranged by overlapping opposite ends of the adjacent sheets, wherein the adjacent sheets are convolutedly wound on an inner sheet; and an electrostatic bond between the adjacent sheets, the electrostatic bond formed by an electrostatic charge applied to the overlapping ends of the adjacent sheets; wherein the applied electrostatic bond is sufficient enough to resist separation of the adjacent sheets to aid in maintaining the integrity of the roll shape yet not sufficient enough to prevent separation of the innermost sheet; and when a force associated with grasping and pulling of the plastic sheets is greater than the applied electrostatic bond, the applied electrostatic bond facilitates removal of one sheet from the roll while moving the next consecutive sheet to a position partially outside of the innermost convolution.
