ABSTRACT:
A paper towel dispenser of the type dispensing towelling spirally from the center of a coreless roll of towelling while the roll stands upright. The dispenser is a knockdown dispenser having a separate base, a first casing part, and a second casing part. The dispenser can be shipped with the parts disassembled to save space and assembled onsite by connecting the base to the first casing part and then pivotally connecting the second casing part to the base. The roll of towelling sits on the base and the casing parts form an enclosure about the roll. The dispenser has a dispensing nozzle in the base through which the paper towelling is dispensed. An access opening is provided in the wall of the nozzle to make it easier to thread the towelling through the nozzle when loading a new roll of towelling in the dispenser. A dispensing ring may be provided in the bottom of the nozzle through which the towelling is dispensed. The ring can be replaced if worn or if a different size of dispensing opening is needed in the nozzle.
