Filed:

Jun 28, 2002

Appl. No.:

10/183997

Inventors:

Bruce T. Boone - Roswell GA, US
John J. Diggins - St. Augustine FL, US

Assignee:

Fort James Corporation - Atlanta GA

International Classification:

B65H075/28

US Classification:

242579, 2425641

Abstract:

A powered dispenser for dispensing a perforated web of sheet material includes an internal well which holds a dispensed segment of the paper web for separation by a user. The well may include a concave portion attached to an elongated upwardly inclined portion that extends to a discharge opening. A separating member in the well is provided so that the dispensed segment can be pulled against it to separate the segment at the tear lines with a substantially reduced pull force. The separating member may have a symmetrical configuration and an asymmetrical configuration. The separating member is pivotally configured so as to rotate towards or away the discharge opening for actuating the feed mechanism when a force is applied to a portion of a dispensed segment.

Inventors:

Bruce Boone - Roswell GA, US

International Classification:

A44C 9/00

US Classification:

063015100

Abstract:

Finger ring manufactured from high strength metal that provides a means to employ a seamless inlay of material such as hardwood or plastic that cannot be accommodated by traditional setting methods. The ring is made in two parts that telescope, locate the inlay, and lock onto each other without the need for threads or heating. The divide line between parts is in a location where it is not seen or felt.

Appl. No.:

11/656867

Inventors:

Bruce T. Boone - Roswell GA, US

International Classification:

B44C 1/22
C03C 15/00

US Classification:

216 32, 216 65

Abstract:

A decorative surface treatment of hardenable metals to achieve a three dimensional textured surface with the appearance of mokume gane or Damascus steel. The annealed surface of the metal is selectively hardened by a laser in zones next to unhardened areas. The unhardened areas are selectively eaten away by abrasives in a way that allows deep texture relief.

International Classification:

B65H 1606
B65H 1910

US Classification:

242 553

Abstract:

A dispenser for flexible sheet material rolls in which a first roll is supported in a dispensing position, a second roll is supported in a reserve position and a roll transfer apparatus is operative to transfer the second roll to the dispensing position upon depletion of sheet material from the first roll with the supporting arrangement for the roll in the dispensing position being rotatable with such roll and thereby subject to significantly reduced friction effects. The described dispenser organization also includes a novel arrangement for retaining the cores and spindles of spent rolls within the dispenser until the closure cover is opened for replenishing the dispenser with fresh rolls whereupon, by opening the cover, the spent residual roll elements are automatically deposited into the opened cover that forms a receptacle from whence the elements can be retrieved for disposal and following which the dispenser organization is automatically returned to its operative condition in a single step upon simply closing the closure cover. In order to retard the fall of a roll to the dispensing position, and thereby avoid injury or unpleasant surprise to a user and reduce noise upon roll transfer, a star wheel may be mounted to be contacted and rotated by a falling roll.

Inventors:

Bruce T. Boone - Acworth GA
John S. Formon - Marietta GA

Assignee:

Georgia-Pacific Corporation - Atlanta GA

International Classification:

B26F 302
B65H 1910

US Classification:

225 34

Abstract:

A dispenser for sequentially dispensing web material from a primary web roll and then a reserve web roll. The dispenser senses the presence of the primary web directly at the feed nip defined by two feed rollers and introduces the leading edge of the reserve web roll to the feed nip immediately after the trailing end of the primary web roll passes through the feed nip. The movement of one feed roller relative to the other feed roller actuates the transfer mechanism which introduces the reserve web to the feed nip.
