Abstract

A dispenser for dispensing a jumbo roll of material having an axis of rotation, the dispenser including a housing adapted to receive a jumbo roll of material. A first drive assembly is provided, the first drive assembly including a first belt. A second drive assembly is also provided, the second drive assembly including a second belt. The first drive assembly and the second drive assembly are positioned with respect to each other so that a surface of the first belt is proximate to a surface of the second belt, thereby forming a channel through which the material from the jumbo roll must pass to be dispensed from the dispenser. The channel additionally assists in retaining the material in a dispensing position.
