Abstract: Dispenser for rolls of paper toweling of standard size and width, accommodating withdrawal of clean roll toweling from a cabinet for use and rolling the spent toweling in a spent towel compartment in the cabinet, for disposal. The roll of clean toweling is inserted in the cabinet from the top and rests on an inclined divider plate separating a clean towel compartment from the spent towel compartment and also bears against a rear wall of the cabinet. The clean toweling is drawn from the cabinet along the divider plate and passed over a sensing switch which establishes an energizing circuit to a winding motor under the control of a limit switch energizing the winding motor upon withdrawal of the toweling and after a time delay sufficient to dry the hands. The clean toweling, as unrolled, passes out of the cabinet through a slot at the top of a recessed portion of the front of the cabinet for use.

Abstract: The apparatus disclosed is for a dispenser for nylon reinforced paper toweling drawn from a roll of paper in a cabinet and returned to drop to the bottom of the cabinet when used. The roll of paper is floatingly supported in the cabinet for unrolling. Towel supply means accommodate the towel to be drawn through a dispensing opening. The roll is completely isolated from the used or spent toweling, which is passed through a slot into the cabinet and returned by towel return means. The top of the cabinet is hinged downwardly along the front of the cabinet to enable a clean roll to be placed in position in the cabinet. The spent toweling returned to the cabinet may be compacted in the bottom of the cabinet by a compactor in the cabinet and manually operated from outside of the cabinet. A slidable bottom plate forms the bottom of the cabinet, to accommodate removal of the compacted spent or dirty paper toweling.

Abstract: Apparatus for spreading and supplying laundered flatwork to an ironer in a squared condition. The apparatus is carried by a single frame. A central main drive belt and a pincher belt above the main drive belt driven by contact therewith extend along the center of the main frame for a portion of the length of the frame. These belts draw the flatwork as supplied over a semi-ovate spreader apron in advance of the main drive and pincher belt. Upper and lower spreader belts diverging at equal angles with respect to the main drive belt and pincher belt extend along each side of the front portion of the machine and provide a pressure nip in substantially the same vertical plane as the pressure nip between the pincher belt and main drive belt.
