  • Publication number: 20100274384
    Abstract: A continuous roll wipe material dispenser includes an upper module containing elements for mounting a rotatable roll of clean wipe material within the upper module and a lower module containing elements for receiving used wipe material within the lower module. The upper module is vertically spaced from the lower module thereby exposing between the modules a length of wipe material extending from the clean wipe material roll. The dispenser has a sensor element for detecting a user's hand approaching the exposed wipe material. A first driving element operates in response to the sensor element for dispensing a predetermined length of clean wipe material from the upper module. A second driving element operates in response to the dispensing of wipe material, in order to take up a predetermined length of used wipe material from between the modules each time a length of clean wipe material has been dispensed.
