ABSTRACT:
A fabric hand towel dispenser is disclosed which has an electric motor for winding up used hand towel, and a towel brake member for smoothing and tensioning the used hand towel which is being wound up. The towel brake member is a movably mounted flap, and biasing means are provided for urging this flap yieldingly into an operative position between two projections. In this way the towel brake flap can serve several additional purposes: It can actuate a switch for switching the electric motor off when the hand towel is tensioned and pushes the flap out between the projections against the effect of the biasing means. It can also actuate a switch for switching the electric motor off when the end of the hand towel has passed the flap so that the latter drops further between the projections; however, a separate detector finger, coaxial with the flap may also be used for this second purpose, if desired. The biased towel brake flap also serves to center the hand towel laterally if the space between the two projections is bounded in depth by a wall which is curved forwardly at the lateral ends of the brake flap. If it is desired to unwind used hand towel, the towel brake flap may be automatically retracted from between the two projections against the action of the biasing means, and held in an ineffective position during the unwinding.
