Description

A toilet-roll holder, also known as a toilet paper dispenser, is an item that holds a roll or more of toilet paper. Common models include a hinged length of wire mounted horizontally on a wall, a thicker axle either recessed into a wall or mounted on a frame, or a freestanding vertical pole on a base. At Evideco’s, we offer a variety of toilet paper holders: Wire on hinge, horizontal axle in wall, horizontal freestanding axle, vertical pole.
The vertical pole was originally intended to hold a stock of replacement rolls but has become the only paper holder in some households. It is particularly useful in homes where the family has mixed handedness. The horizontal axle design is found in most homes, and also in many schools. It is easy to use due to its low friction and ease of refilling. This is the type of holder most commonly assumed about when toilet paper orientation is mentioned. The wire on hinge is the idea is that the toilet roll maintains contact with the door or wall as the roll’s radius decreases. This provides enough friction to allow the user to tear off a piece of tissue.
