Paper product dispenser
First Claim
1. A paper product dispenser comprising:
- a first motor adapted to dispense a first paper product;
a second motor adapted to dispense a second paper product;
a hand motion sensor connected to the first motor and the second motor;
a controller connected to the first motor, the second motor, and the hand motion sensor;
a first dual in-line package switch connected to the controller adapted to adjust length of paper product dispensed by the first motor and the second motor, the first dual in-line package switch having a plurality of first switches, each first switch having a specific paper length setting that sets the maximum length of paper product to dispense, each first switch being connected to the controller where the paper length setting of the first switch is adjustable in firmware; and
a second dual in-line package switch connected to the controller, the second dual in-line package switch having a plurality of second switches, each second switch having a specific delay time setting that sets the amount of time between the hand motion sensor sensing a hand motion and the time the paper product is dispensed, each second switch being connected to the controller where the delay time setting is adjustable in firmware.

Abstract
A paper product dispenser that includes a motor adapted to dispense a paper product and a controller. A network interlace card is in communication with the controller and is adapted to connect the paper product dispenser to a network. DIP switches are connected to the motor to adjust the length of the paper product and the interval between the activation of the motor. A power roller is connected to the motor and an idle roller is face-to-face with the power roller. The paper product passes between the power roller and the idle roller. A paper sensor is positioned below the power roller to detect the presence or absence of the paper product. A thermopile sensor is also provided to detect the presence of a human being adjacent to the dispenser.
