ABSTRACT:
A mechanism for a towel cabinet including a frame, a rear roller arranged frictionally to engage a portion of dirty towel to be wound onto an idler roller, a front roller over which clean towel is entrained before passing over a pinch roller and emerging for withdrawal from the cabinet in which the mechanism is to be housed, and drive means between the front and rear rollers so that the latter is rotated by a different angular amount from the former on rotation of the former and including a stop arm rotatable with the rear roller each time a length of towel is withdrawn and a latch movable into engagement with the stop arm on rotation of the rear roller to prevent further rotation of the front roller and hence further towel withdrawal. A time-delay mechanism may be associated with the latch so that a further length of towel may be withdrawn after a predetermined interval of time. In one construction the stop arm can rotate at a different speed from the rear roller to enable alternative predetermined lengths of towel to be pulled from the cabinet as desired. In this construction a second drive means is provided between the front roller and stop arm.
