Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9632874A1] Towel dispensers installed in public washrooms have the disavantage of being cumbersome to handle, in particular when exchanging used towel rollers. In the disclosed process, the beginning of a towel is threaded for example by closing the lid of the apparatus, triggering a movement or rotation and guiding and rolling the towel after forming a loop. An appropriate device has roller (7, 8 ,11), a roller (7) mounted on the rear wall and a roller (11) mounted on the side wall of the dispenser (1). Conveyor and guiding elements (14; 15) separate clean material (2) from used material (2'). The invention may be combined with known components of already installed towel dispensers, providing the same with an automatic towel threading capacity.
