ABSTRACT:
A towel dispenser for dispensing at least one towel from a towel roll containing a multiplicity of towels includes a towel cabinet having an outlet opening for dispensing one of the towels from the towel roll therethrough, rotative means disposed within the cabinet for effecting the withdrawal of one of the towels from the cabinet through the outlet opening, driving means for operatively engaging the rotating means, a prepayment mechanism for releasing the driving means by at least one coin supplied to the prepayment mechanism, a chute attached to the prepayment mechanism and a coin-collecting box attached to a wall separating the prepayment mechanism therefrom. The chute communicates with the prepayment mechanism and the coin-collecting box through the wall. The operation of the prepayment mechanism by the coin causes the towel dispenser to furnish one of the towels to a user upon activation of the driving means, the coin being collected in the coin-collecting box upon falling thereinto through the chute.
