International Classification:

A47K 10/38

US Classification:

242563, 2425632, 2425644

Abstract:

A sheet material dispenser includes a controller for automatically controlling the lengths of sheet materials dispensed from a continuous roll by identifying the type of sheet materials on the roll and dispensing suitable lengths of the identified sheet material. The dispenser desirably has a support for rotatably supporting a roll of sheet material carrying identification relating to the type of sheet material on the roll, and an identifier positioned in or adjacent the dispenser for identifying the type of sheet material on the roll. A processor receives data from the identifier, processes the data and generates an output command, and a controller controls the lengths of sheet material dispensed from the roll in response to the output command. In this way, more absorbent products may be dispensed in shorter lengths and less absorbent products may be dispensed in longer lengths.

Assignee:

Valenite Inc. - Madison Heights MI

International Classification:

B26B 900

US Classification:

30350

Abstract:

Methods for producing an adherent diamond film on a cemented metal carbide substrate are disclosed. Particularly, the present invention discloses methods of preparing the surface of a cemented metal carbide surface such that an adherent polycrystalline diamond coating may be deposited thereon using CVD techniques. Cutting tool inserts produced from such adherent diamond film coated cemented metal carbide articles are also disclosed.

Darrell R. Johnson - Woodstock GA

Assignee:

Kimberly-Clark Worldwide, Inc. - Neenah WI

International Classification:

B65H 1900

US Classification:

2425601

Abstract:

A dual roll dispenser includes a housing having first and second roll retaining devices for holding at least two rolls within the housing. A feed mechanism is disposed in the housing to dispense material from the first roll and second roll in a sequential feeding operation. A guide member is disposed within the housing and is movable between a staging position spaced from the feed mechanism and an operating position wherein the guide member contacts and moves material from the second roll to a dispensing nip of the feed mechanism for subsequent dispensing of material from the second roll upon the first roll being depleted to a predetermined degree. A movable trigger device is disposed against the outer circumferential surface of the first roll and moves in a path as the first roll is reduced in diameter upon depletion thereof. When the first roll is depleted to a certain diameter, the trigger device passes beyond and out of contact with the first roll into a trigger position. The trigger device is operably connected to the guide member so as to move the guide member to the operating position upon the trigger device moving to the trigger position.
