(57) A dispenser for a web (27), for example a paper towel, comprises an eccentrically
weighted roller (13) around which the web is trained. As a first portion of web is
delivered from the roller the eccentrically placed weight (43, 45) is raised to a
position of higher potential energy. Further delivery is then temporarily prevented
by means of a locking device (15,17).
When the locking device is released, the roller rotates under the influence of the
weight, thereby automatically delivering a second portion of web.
