Abstract: The present invention relates to a paper towel dispenser in which the towels are provided from a reel enrolled around a central nucleus. The nucleus has at both ends guiding devices of the reel along both lateral descending grooves; thus, the reel can slide in a descending direction until the periphery of said reel is supported by a gyratory stop. When the external diameter of the reel decreases it continues sliding along the grooves until the guiding means enter into unlocking devices of the reels making the reel descend until the guiding devices push downwards a posterior end of a lever, the other end of said lever having indicating devices and threading devices of a new reel. Said posterior end ejects the nucleus when it is empty towards a cavity in the inferior part of the dispenser in order to be taken away afterwards.

Abstract: A combination soap cake and holder for connecting the soap to a support structure. The holder includes a rigid support arm including a forward portion having an annular groove. The soap cake includes an elongated socket, and a tubular conduit is embedded in this socket. The conduit includes a sidewall forming a passageway to pass the forward portion of the support arm into the cake of soap, and a resilient clip, flange, tab or similar device extends into the annular groove on the support arm and permanently locks the cake of soap thereto. A cover, releasably connected to the conduit sidewall, extends around the annular groove and the locking clip, flange or tab to keep the soap away from the locking device and the annular groove.
