Abstract

See full text

A low-material-indicating center pull dispenser for dispensing a web of material from a center pull roll. In embodiments, the dispenser includes a housing and a roll support platform which supports the center pull roll when loaded within the housing. The preferred roll support platform has an inward portion positioned to support a center pull roll inner region and a lower outward portion positioned to support the center pull roll outer region when the material forming the center pull roll inner region is depleted and the center pull roll drops onto the lower outward portion and changes position thereby providing a low-material indication. The change of center pull roll position may be viewed by center pull roll viewing structure such as at least one window, and/or a light transmissive housing or a housing portion.
