ABSTRACT:
A cloth towel dispenser incorporates at least one towel unit. Each unit is provided with a first delivery station which supports a clean towel roll having a horizontal axis. The towel roll has a leading feed edge and is adapted to be freely unrolled in successive portions. The first station includes a delivery roller rotatable about a horizontal axis and disposed adjacent the roll for unrolling it. A second draw-in station is spaced below the first station and has a take-up roller freely rotatable about a horizontal axis. The second station includes a draw-in roller rotatable about a horizontal axis to retract the successive portions of the roll onto the take-up roller. The leading edge of the roll passes in a manually extractable loop from the first station to the second station along a path which extends downwardly from the first station to a position of use disposed below the second station and then extends upwardly to the second station. A drive arrangement includes gearing and a spring tension accumulator rotatably interconnecting the delivery roller and the draw-in roller whereby the delivery and draw-in rollers rotate in the same forward direction. The delivery roller, when rotating during and after the formation of the loop, rotates and tensions the accumulator.
