Abstract
A tissue dispenser is provided according to the present invention. The tissue dispenser includes a housing for storing and dispensing multiple rolls of tissue, and a mandrel set constructed to move within the housing. The housing includes a first side wall and a cover constructed to provide an opening through which tissue can be dispensed, and a track extending along a portion of the first side wall. The mandrel set includes a first mandrel constructed to hold a first roll of tissue, a second mandrel constructed to hold a second roll of tissue, and an arm extending from the first mandrel to the second mandrel. The arm includes a first pin and a second pin wherein the first pin and the second pin are constructed to engage and travel along the track. The tissue dispenser is constructed so that a roll of tissue on the first mandrel can be dispensed from the opening while the roll of tissue on the second mandrel is held in reserve, and once the roll of tissue on the first mandrel is depleted, the mandrel set can move along the track so that the roll of tissue on the second mandrel can be dispensed from the opening. A method of dispensing tissue, and a tissue dispenser insert for retrofitting a tissue dispenser are provided.
