Abstract

Aspects of the present invention relate to a dispensing apparatus (1) for cutting sheets (S) from a length of towel. The dispensing apparatus (1) includes a supply roller (33) rotatable about a central axis (X). The dispensing apparatus (1) having at least one first cutting member (45A, 45B) having a first cutting edge (51A, 51B) with a first profile. The dispensing apparatus (1) having at least one second cutting member (55A, 55B) having a second cutting edge (61A) having a second profile. The second profile of the second cutting edge (61A) includes or consists of a curved profile. The at least one first cutting member (45A, 45B) or the at least one second cutting member (55A, 55B) is mounted to the supply roller (33) for rotation with the supply roller (33). In use, the at least one first cutting member (45A, 45B) and the at least one second cutting member (55A, 55B) cooperate with each other as the supply roller (33) rotates to cut the towel.
