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 idea for perforated toilet paper was originally patented by Wheeler's Albany Perforated Wrapping Paper Company in 1871 and then re-patented again in a roll-form in 1891 as a way of preventing waste.
Options included rocks, leaves, grass, moss, animal fur, corn cobs, coconut husks, sticks, sand, and sea shells.
Ing to an 1891 patent by New York businessman Seth Wheeler, the end of a toilet paper roll should be on the outside, or in the ``over'' position. (Advocates of the ``under'' position, take note: better flip that roll over when you get home.)
The first patent for the flushing toilet was issued to Alexander Cummings in 1775. 1777: Samuel Prosser invented and patented the 'plunger closet'. Joseph Bramah of Yorkshire patented the first practical water closet in England in 1778. During the 1800s, people realized that poor sanitary conditions caused diseases.
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.
An immediate improvement filed by Seth Wheeler, which was granted on December 22, 1891, as patent number US465588A. In Wheeler's improved patent for toilet paper he described the idea of perforated toilet paper on a roll.
