ABSTRACT:
A unitarily molded towel dispenser (10) comprising an arcuate arm member (12), a cap member (14) connected to a top end of the arm member, and a platform (16) connected to a bottom end of the arm member. Opposed surfaces (42, 48) are spaced apart to receive a paper roll therebetween, and include pivot lugs (46, 48) that project into the core of the paper roll so as to enable the roll to rotate thereabout. The cap member (14) is resiliently spread apart from the platform member (16), straightening the arm member (12), and creating clearance space for the roll to be laterally inserted. Thereafter, the cap member (14) is released and, under the influence of the arm member, moves toward the platform member (16) and into a quiescent spacing therefrom. The arm member (12) functions as a carry handle and as a spring member with which to influence the cap member (14) toward the platform member (16) and entrap the paper roll therebetween.
