Abstract: Apparatus for dispensing a continuous web of product, such as a towel (20), from a zigzag folded packet (11A, 11B), which is kept in supply chamber (10). After use the towel (20) is rolled up into the roll (23), which is regularly removed from the apparatus. The packets (11A, 11B) are provided on the end layers with strips (29A, 29B) that are adhesive on both sides, which strips make possible the mutual coupling of the packets. The packets consist preferably of paper that is strengthened with filaments of synthetic material, which paper is intended for single use, but the pockets can also consist of textile that can be reused after cleaning.
