Abstract (en)

A rolled paper towel dispensing device is described herein, provided with a spare roll adapted to be dropped, following a simple hand operation from outside, towards an operating position when the roll previously in use has been used up. The subject device includes, within a housing-body communicating with the outside only by means of a lower slot through which the paper strip is made available to the users close to a blade for severing the desired length of paper, a substantially unsymmetrical S-shaped member (8) fastened, at an area intermediate between the two portions (8a, 8b) of said S, to a pivot shaft (9) rotatably mounted on said housing (1) and connected to rotation driving means (12a, 32, 15) thereof, which rotations result in rotations of said S-shaped member (8). The smaller portion (8a) convex side provides support for the spare roll (20 min ), possibly in combination with other shaped member integral with the housing (1). When the S-shaped member (8) is rotated, it drops said roll (20 min ) in the underlying area, wherein it is collected by the concave side of the larger portion (8b) which guides the roll (20 min ) towards the operational unrolling area, cooperating with stationary guide means integral with the housing (1).
