Abstract
A readily manufacturable dispenser for roll tissue paper enables use of the paper for general household purposes. First and second parts include longitudinally extending mandrel portions for receiving the roll of tissue that is dispensed through an orifice in the side of the dispenser. The two parts of the dispenser are locked together by an O-ring friction seal between their respective mandrel portions. Knockout tabs in the dispenser end walls enable adaptation to a conventional bathroom fixture.
