Abstract
A towel dispenser contains two rolls of paper. A bar on the front, when pushed, delivers a short length of wet towel and a short length of dry towel, simultaneously. It also guides the towel dispensed from one of the rolls through a bath of antiseptic hand-cleansing solution. It also releases the system to enable pulling an additional length of toweling from each of the two rolls. Upon release, either towel can be pulled out further manually to produce about ten more inches of towel. The toweling is delivered from both rolls simultaneously, but the towels are used in sequence, the wet towel first and the dry towel next.
