Definitions

  • the towel may rip as the rotatable member rotates, preventing the towel from being transferred successfully onto the support roller. Moreover, if the springs for biasing the rotatable member towards the support roller are not matched, the towel may not be uniformly pressed against the support roller and it may skew in relation to the support roller leading to fouling of the apparatus.
  • the support roller is preferably driven by a user pulling on the towel to be dispensed.
  • a dispenser cover 17 is provided for covering the support roller assembly 7 and the first and second rolls 3, 5.
  • the cover 17 is pivotably mounted on a back plate 19 and may be opened to facilitate servicing of the dispenser 1.
  • First and second side panels 21, 23 are provided to complete the dispenser housing.
  • a rotary knob 25 is provided in the first side panel 21 to allow the support roller assembly 7 to be driven manually.
  • the front tension plate 11 has four mounting pins 79 which locate in corresponding mounting apertures 81 provided in the side members 33, 35.
  • the mounting apertures 81 could be elongated to enable the front tension plate 11 to be moved relative to the support roller 27.
