연합인증

연합인증 가입 기관의 연구자들은 소속기관의 인증정보(ID와 암호)를 이용해 다른 대학, 연구기관, 서비스 공급자의 다양한 온라인 자원과 연구 데이터를 이용할 수 있습니다.

이는 여행자가 자국에서 발행 받은 여권으로 세계 각국을 자유롭게 여행할 수 있는 것과 같습니다.

연합인증으로 이용이 가능한 서비스는 NTIS, DataON, Edison, Kafe, Webinar 등이 있습니다.

한번의 인증절차만으로 연합인증 가입 서비스에 추가 로그인 없이 이용이 가능합니다.

다만, 연합인증을 위해서는 최초 1회만 인증 절차가 필요합니다. (회원이 아닐 경우 회원 가입이 필요합니다.)

연합인증 절차는 다음과 같습니다.

최초이용시에는
ScienceON에 로그인 → 연합인증 서비스 접속 → 로그인 (본인 확인 또는 회원가입) → 서비스 이용

그 이후에는
ScienceON 로그인 → 연합인증 서비스 접속 → 서비스 이용

연합인증을 활용하시면 KISTI가 제공하는 다양한 서비스를 편리하게 이용하실 수 있습니다.

초록

Sheet dispensers, which provide feedback to a user or provide a unique function to a user, are disclosed. Visual, audio, aromatic, or other types of feedback may be provided to a user by the sheet dispenser. Sheet dispensers suitable for use as a switch, a room deodorizer, a flame-generating device, or a combination thereof are disclosed. A method of activating a switch-controlled object is also disclosed. Further, a method of making sheet dispensers is also disclosed.

1. A sheet dispenser capable of providing feedback to a user or a function ether than dispensing sheets, said feedback comprising (a) visual feedback of indicia positioned under a stack of dispensable sheets within a housing of the sheet dispenser and viewable upon movement of the stack of sheets within the housing; (b) visual feedback from a visual feedback-generating, signal-receiving device within or outside of the housing; (c) audio feedback from an audio feedback-generating, signal-receiving device within or outside of the housing; (d) aromatic feedback (i) from within the housing or (ii) from an aromatic feedback-generating, signal-receiving device within or outside of the housing; or (e) a combination thereof; and wherein said function comprising (A) sending a signal to a signal-receiving device within or outside of the housing.2. The sheet dispenser of claim 1, wherein the sheet dispenser provides visual feedback of indicia positioned under a stack of sheets within a housing of the sheet dispenser and viewable upon movement of the stack of shcets within the housing; said housing comprising:an upper housing member having an opening therein; and a lower housing member having an upper surface at least temporarily attached to the upper housing member; and wherein the stack of dispensable sheets is positioned between the upper housing member and the lower housing member and shuttles from a first position to a second position within the housing during removal of a sheet from the stack of sheets. 3. The sheet dispenser of claim 2, wherein the upper housing member is transparent or translucent such that the upper surface of the lower housing member and the stack of sheets are viewable through the upper housing member, and wherein the upper surface of the lower housing member has one or more images on the upper surface of the lower housing member, at least one image being viewable when the stack of sheets is in the first position or the second position.4. The sheet dispenser of claim 2, wherein the upper surface of the lower housing member has two or more images on the upper surface of the lower housing member, at least one image being viewable when the stack of sheets is in the first position and at least one image being viewable when the stank of sheets is in the second position.5. The sheet dispenser of claim 2, wherein the upper surface of the lower housing member has three or more images on the upper surface of the lower housing member, at least one image being viewable when the stack of sheets is in the first position, at least one image being viewable when the stack of sheets is in the second position, and at least one image being viewable once the stack of sheets is fully dispensed.6. The sheet dispenser of claim 1, wherein the sheet dispenser is capable of sending a signal to a signal-receiving device within or outside of the housing, said sheet dispenser comprises:at least crne activatable device, wherein the at least one activatable device is activated by movement of the stack of sheets within the housing. 7. The sheet dispenser of claim 6, wherein the at least one activatable device comprises a mechanical switch, a photodiode, a pair of male and female electrical contacts, or a combination thereof.8. The sheet dispenser of claim 7, wherein the at least one activatable device comprises a mechanical switch, wherein the mechanical switch is “on” when the stack of sheets closes the mecbamcal switch and “off” when the mechanical switch is open.9. The sheet dispenser of claim 7, wherein the at least one aetivatable device comprises a first mobile electrical contact on the stack of sheets and a second stationazy electrical contact, wherein the second stationary electrical contact forms at least a portion of a shuttle pathway between a first position and a second position.10. The sheet dispenser of claim 7, wherein the at least one activatable device is “on” when the stack of sheets interrupts a beam of light from a light sensor to the photodiode.11. The sheet dispenser of claim 1, wherein the sheet dispenser 18 capable of providing audio feedback from an audio feedback-generating, signal-receiving device within or outside of the housing, said sheet dispenser comprising:a sound-generating device positioned within the sheet dispenser or external to the sheet dispenser. 12. The sheet dispenser of claim 1, wherein the sheet dispenser is capable of providing aromatic feedback, said sheet dispenser comprising:an opening in the housing for dispensing individual sheets, said opening being surrounded by opening side walls having an exterior side wall surface and an interior side wall surface; a textured coating on at least a portion of the interior side wall surface of the opening side walls for increasing an amount of friction between a sheet removed from the sheet dispenser and an inner surface of the housing; wherein at least one sheet in the stack of sheets has a sheet coating on an upper surface of the sheet and at least a portion of the sheet coating separates from the sheet when the sheet passes over the textured coating. 13. The sheet dispenser of claim 12, wherein the sheet coating comprises hollow microspheres.14. The sheet dispenser of claim 13, wherein the hollow microspheres contain a fragrance or perfume.15.
