Abstract:
A dispenser for flexible sheet material to carry multiple rolls of material such as paper toweling with dispensing mechanism being provided to lead a web of material out of the dispenser to the user. While one roll is in an initial dispensing position a reserve roll is held latched in a reserve non-dispensing position with the latching being released by cam means upon sensing that the one rolls is substantially depleted of sheet material whereupon the reserve roll moves to be driven in relation to the initial roll. While the remaining sheet material on the initial roll is withdrawn from the dispenser by the user the leading end of the sheet material on the reserve roll joins with such remaining sheet material to be led through said dispensing mechanism to be available to the user when the remaining sheet material on the initial roll is exhausted.
