ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides a towel cradle particularly useful with any one of standard C-fold, multi-fold, single fold and rolled paper towel to be dispensed from a paper towel dispenser. The towel cradle comprises a hopper-like cradle body having an apertured towel support surface provided with a dispensing opening and a substantially solid towel support surface each of which is set at a downward inward angle continuing to a centrally positioned throat formed by downward extensions on each of the surfaces. The downward extension on the solid support surface is additionally provided with a paper cutting edge integral to said towel cradle. The cradle body is reversible within the towel dispenser such that in a first dispensing position the apertured support surface is positioned forwardly in the dispenser which is fitted with a towel guide for dispensing C-fold and multi-fold towels through the dispensing opening with the paper cutting edge being generally hidden to the rear of the dispenser. When reversed to a second dispensing position the solid support surface is positioned forwardly in the dispenser for dispensing single fold and rolled paper through the throat of the cradle with the opening in the apertured support surface now being hidden to the rear of the dispenser.
