Abstract (en)
[origin: EP0283554A1] The towel dispenser expediently consists of two towel units, of which, however, each unit is fully operable on its own. In this case, the towel (7) is guided over a delivery cylinder (20) into a feed cylinder (25). When the towel (7) is pulled out to form a towel loop (8), the delivery cylinder (15) is also rotated and likewise the feed cylinder (25) via an envelope pinion (32). Arranged in the feed shaft (30) is a spring power store (36) which is stressed when the towel is pulled out. The length of the towel which can be pulled out is limited by a cam wheel (43) and a latch (44). Since part of the used towel which is wound up by the feed cylinder (25) can be withdrawn, the length of the clean towel to be pulled out can be kept smaller. After a certain period of time, a timer releases the latch (44), by which means the spring power store sets the feed cylinder (25) in rotary motion and the towel loop (8) is wound up. <IMAGE>
