Seth Wheeler's 1891 patent shows the original placement of the toilet paper roll using an "over" approach. Not that you should ever blindly follow the crowd, but a whopping 70% of the population prefers the “over” position.
The toilet roll debate dates back to 1891 with Seth Wheeler's patent, which showed the roll hanging "over". This could be due to hygiene reasons (less contact with potentially germ-infested walls) or aesthetic preferences during the Victorian era.
Because we know you've been wondering, it was all Seth's idea. The concept of rolled and perforated squares of toilet paper was patented in 1883 by Seth Wheeler. Prior to Seth's innovation, toilet paper was sold commercially as flat sheets starting around 1857 thanks to Joseph Gayetty.
TOILET PAPER HOLDER -- Invented by Mary Davidson in 1982 -- Davidson's invention, the tissue holder, featured a design that was an upgraded version of the traditional holder that ensured the accessibility of the loose end of bathroom tissue rolls all the time.
Figure 1 specifically shows the roll on a toilet paper holder, still facing outward. Thus, this means the answer to the contested question of “should a toilet paper roll face over or under when on the holder?” is answered. The answer is it should face OVER.
From the tree pulp to the larger-than-life rolls that are eventually spun out onto smaller logs and sliced into the rolls we're familiar with. The concept of the toilet paper rolls was born in Philadelphia by brothers E. Irvin and Clarence Scott, the founders of the Scott Paper Company in 1890.
Seth Wheeler was credited with the invention and later assigned the rights to the patent to the Albany Perforated Wrapping Paper Company.
