Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0579892A1] An automatic dispenser for paper towels shaped in strips of an appropriate length severable from a continuous feed roll (25), outputs from the device a portion of paper of an appropriate length cutting it by means of a stationary blade located in a less accessible area of the apparatus for user's safety reasons. Dispensing is controlled by means of pushbutton (17) photoelectric cell or the like, which actuates a switch for supplying power to a motor during a time period predetermined by means of a timer (18), and which therefore causes rotation of a dragging roller adapted to cause a certain extent of unrolling of the feed roll (25). Said timer inhibits dispensing, in case the switch is kept continuously actuated, before a predetermined pause interval has elapsed. <IMAGE>
