Abstract
A dispenser for dispensing sheet material from one or more rolls of sheet material is provided. The dispenser includes a housing having an interior volume and a module disposed within the housing including a dispensing mechanism. The dispenser includes a transfer assembly having a rear transfer roller and a front transfer roller disposed on a transfer arm. The transfer arm is disposed in one or more walls of the module via a slot. The transfer arm is configured to be placed in an operating position or a loading position. When in the loading position, the transfer arm extends into a second portion of the slot to provide greater clearance between the front transfer roller and the drive roller to facilitate loading of the sheet material. A transfer assembly is also disclosed having a rear transfer roller disposed in a slot disposed in a second portion of the transfer arm. When in loading position, the rear transfer roller extends into the second portion of the slot to provide greater clearance between the front transfer roller and the drive roller to facilitate loading of the sheet material.
