ABSTRACT:
A metered lever operating mechanism for a paper towel dispenser cabinet is disclosed. The operating mechanism has a lever actuator which is mounted in the dispenser cabinet for vertical reciprocating movement. The lever actuator has a handle which is operable by a user and a rack having gear teeth which mesh with a drive train. The drive train converts the downward stroke of the lever actuator into rotary motion to rotate a drive pinion. The drive pinion is connected to drive a delivery mechanism to deliver paper towel to the exterior of the dispenser cabinet. A metering assembly engages the drive pinion to limit the number of successive reciprocations of the lever actuator. The metering assembly must be reset between each series of successive reciprocations of the lever actuator to deter wasteful use of paper towel.
