Abstract

A sheet product dispenser includes a cover, a pair of arms supporting a roll of sheet product within the cover, and a baffle. The roll of sheet product rotates upon activation of the dispenser during a dispense cycle. The baffle is adapted to deflect upon contact with the roll of sheet product and remain engaged against the roll of sheet product during at least a significant portion of a roll life.
