Abstract
Rough duty, vandal resistant paper dispensers for rolled and folded toilet paper and for paper towels are provided in lockable containers. The toilet paper roll dispensers are structured with single-wall square tube housing and with two-piece elongated cylindrical housing. The housings are attached longitudinally vertically inclined directly to or by wall bracket structures to panels or walls. Restrictive dispensing of the lower roll of two vertically stacked rolls of rolled toilet paper is provided through a frontal orifice. Folded toilet paper and paper towels are dispensed from sturdy box-like containers. All dispensers have bottom-positioned padlock compartments for protecting padlocks used to lock the dispensers. The dispensers are designed to be manufactured of 16 gauge steel and heavier and of sturdy space age plastics.
