ABSTRACT:
In known textile towel dispensers the clean towel is manually pulled out at the front, the used towel is automatically drawn in at the rear, and the end of the towel hangs down vertically when the roll of clean toweling has been used up. The inventive towel retracting or retraction apparatus contains a towel loop loaded with a weighted roller and concealed by a cover which can be part of an enclosure. The used toweling or towel section is thereby pulled behind the cover where it can neither be seen nor reached by the user. A delay mechanism ensures that the towel loop, which is partially pulled out from the towel dispenser and partially pulled out from behind the cover, remains stationary for a few seconds before it is retracted behind the cover.
