ABSTRACT:
A continuous towel cabinet comprises a holder for a roll of clean towel, an arrangement of rollers for repeatedly allowing a length of clean towel to be dispensed into a loop beneath the holder and including a rewind roller on which an equivalent length of soiled towel is simultaneously rewound, separate take-up means for retracting the loop at the end of each cycle of operation, and a compartment for receiving the length of towel withdrawn by the loop take-up means, the soiled towel within the compartment being subsequently wound onto the rewind roller during the next or succeeding cycles of operation. The loop take-up means comprises a drive roller driven by an electric motor, and the cabinet contains an independent power source for operating the electric motor. Furthermore, there are provided control means for the motor actuated by sensing means responsive to the tension in the towel whereby after the towel is released by the user the loop will be retracted. The sensing means actuate the control means to operate the electric motor after a predetermined time delay and to stop the electric motor when the loop has been retracted.
