The Electronic Toilet Tissue Dispenser permits toilet tissue to be dispensed from a supply roll by placing your hand in front of a sensor and advancement is stopped when your hand is removed from in front of the sensor, thereby, permitting those with Arthritis and those who might have difficulty reaching; seeing or finding the end of the tissue, to easily dispense said toilet tissue.

A toilet tissue dispenser comprising a box having a back and four upstanding walls connected to the back such that the tops of the four upstanding walls form an opening; a panel means having four panel sides integrally bound to each other and secured to the tops of the four upstanding walls and flanging outwardly therefrom; a generally L-shaped compartment means mounted on two panel sides, said compartment means comprising a control compartment means secured to one panel side and a guard compartment means mounted to a panel side contiguous to the panel side that supports the control compartment; a drive motor means mounted in said control compartment means; a control circuit means mounted in said control compartment means for controlling the operation of said drive motor means; a night sensor means mounted in said control compartment means and communicating with ambient light such that when ambient light does not strike the night sensor means said control circuit means can not energize the drive motor means; a day sensor means mounted in said control compartment means and communicating with said ambient lighting such that if ambient lighting is striking the night sensor means, then interrupting the ambient lighting to the day sensor means causes the control circuit means to energize the drive motor means; a stop member mounted to the panel side that is opposed to the panel side that supports the guard compartment; a bracket assembly superimposed over the stop member and slidably mounted transverse to the panel side that is opposed to the panel side that supports the guard compartment; and a means secured to said stop member and to bracket assembly for biasing said bracket assembly away from said stop member. A method for dispensing toilet tissue comprising the steps of: (a) providing a panel means circumscribing a box; (b) mounting rotatably a roll of toilet tissue to the panel means such that said roll of toilet tissue rotates in said box spacedly; (c) providing a night sensor means in a control compartment means supported by said panel means wherein said night sensor means communicates with ambient light such that when ambient light does not strike the night sensor means a control circuit means mounted in said control compartment means can not energize a drive motor means to rotate the roll of toilet tissue in order to dispense toilet tissue therefrom; (d) providing a day sensor means in said control compartment wherein said day sensor means communicates with ambient lighting such that if ambient lighting is striking the night sensor means, then interrupting the ambient lighting to the day sensor means causes the control circuit means to energize the drive motor means to rotate the roll of toilet tissue in order to dispense toilet tissue therefrom; (e) striking the night sensor means with ambient lighting; (f) covering contactless the day sensor means to interrupt ambient lighting to the day sensor means causing the control circuit means to energize the drive motor means and commence the rotating of the roll of toilet tissue; (g) maintaining said covering step (f) until the desired amount of toilet tissue has rotated off of the roll of toilet tissue; and (h) removing said covering step (f) such that the day sensor again communicates with the ambient lighting to cause the control circuit means to deengage the drive motor means and stop the rotating of the roll of toilet tissue.
