Abstract (en)

A dispenser for dispensing toilet tissue or hand towels having an upright body (2) to hold a stack of individual tissues, the tissues being dispensed one at a time through a dispensing hole (10) in the base of the dispenser. At least two upstanding ribs (12) are provided on the bottom face of the dispenser, one on each side or one at the front and one at the back of the bottom face (6), the rib sloping down towards the dispensing hole (10). A stack of tissues rests on these ribs, allowing the bottom tissue to be pulled over the ribs (12) with less friction than if it were resting on a flat surface.
