ABSTRACT:
Disclosed is an apparatus for dispensing sheet material such as bathroom tissue from a roll. The apparatus includes a cabinet having a dispensing zone from where the sheet material may be removed first from a primary roll and later from a reserve roll. The cabinet also has a storage zone where at least one reserve roll of sheet material is stored for use after depletion of the sheet material on the primary roll. A first spindle for holding the primary roll is attached to the cabinet in the dispensing zone, and a second spindle for holding the reserve roll is attached to the cabinet and is movable from the storage zone to the dispensing zone. The apparatus includes a holding element for holding the second spindle in the storage zone until depletion of the sheet material on the primary roll. The apparatus further includes a release member for releasing the holding element, preferably automatically, only upon depletion of the sheet material on the primary roll. Upon release of the holding element, the second spindle drops from the storage zone to the dispensing zone.
