Abstract
A roller towel dispenser has two roller towels mounted side-by-side, each of which is automatically brought into operation upon exhaustion of the other. As the end of a towel passes between two combs, a towel reservoir is biassed to pivot upwards which operates a link which, at the other side of the dispenser cabinet, pivots a container plate to cause a take-up roller to move towards a further roller. Simultaneously, a corresponding shield is operated by a further link to release a loop of the new towel for use.
