Abstract

A roll towel dispenser includes a frame configured to support a first roll of first paper towel and a second roll of second paper towel and a main roller coupled to the frame. During operation, the first paper towel and the second paper towel are positioned adjacent the main roller such that the first paper towel is positioned between the second paper towel and the main roller. The main roller is configured to engage the first paper towel such that rotation of the main roller moves the first paper towel from the first roll, at least partially around the main roller, and through an outlet of the roll towel dispenser. The first paper towel slips relative to the second paper towel while the main roller moves the first paper towel such that only the first paper towel is dispensed through the outlet.
