Patent ID: 8162412

Claim:
A dispenser for hygienic paper products, comprising: a main portion, a bottom portion, a top portion, two side portions, a back portion and a door, where the back portion is attachable to a wall, the side portions extending essentially perpendicular from the back portion and extend from the bottom portion to the top portion, at least one of said side portions having a stop member; the door is pivotally mounted to the bottom portion of the main portion, and being openable at the top portion of the main portion and swung out from the main portion in a rotational movement upon opening so that an upper part of the door swings away from the top portion, wherein the door is pivotally mounted to the main portion via at least a pair of first and second link arms; the first link arm having a reinforcement member, the first link arm being pivotally mounted to one of the side portions at a first point of attachment separate from the reinforcement member and pivotally mounted to a side of the door via a second point of attachment near a bottom part of the door; the second link arm being pivotally mounted to the side portion at a third point of attachment and is pivotally mounted to the side of the door via a fourth point of attachment near the bottom part of the door; wherein, in a closed door position, the first and second link arms together with an imaginary line between the first and third points of attachment and an imaginary line between the second and fourth point of attachment describe a trapezoid arrangement arranged to balance the rotational movement of the door upon opening due to the first link arm being arranged to give the second point of attachment a movement along a rotational path of the first link arm about the first point of attachment; the second link arm being arranged to give the fourth point of attachment a movement along a rotational path of the second link arm about the third point of attachment, the first link arm and the second link arm having different centres of rotation; and the reinforcing member is configured to reinforce the second link arm over the stop member in an intermediate semi-closed position.
