Abstract: A damp sheets dispenser, including a compartment, for housing therein a damp roll, the compartment including: an openable cover, for inserting the damp roll into the compartment therethrough, and for closing the compartment, for dispensing the damp roll therefrom; a slit, for dispensing from damp roll therethrough at the closed state of the compartment; two rotatable cylinders disposed filling the slit, at the closed state of the compartment, for dispensing the damp roll therethrough; at least one sealing, for sealing the openable cover to surfaces of the compartment disposed adjacent thereto, thereby at the closed state, the compartment seals the damp roll housed therewithin, thereby maintaining the damp roll damped.

Abstract: A continuous towel cabinet comprises a compartment for a roll of clean towel, and an arrangement of rollers for repeatedly allowing a length of clean towel to be dispensed into a loop beneath the cabinet and for simultaneously rewinding an equivalent length of soiled towel onto a rewind roller. The clean towel compartment is disposed above the arrangement of rollers and has at least a flexible base wall whereby the roll of soiled towel can reduce the depth of the clean towel compartment as the roll of soiled towel increases during operation of the towel cabinet. The clean towel compartment is preferably a flexible bag which is detachable from the cabinet. The pressure roller of the roller arrangement is also preferably mounted on the cover of the cabinet. The arrangement may also allow back rotation of the front metering roller with respect to the rewind roller.

Abstract: In known textile towel dispensers the clean towel is manually pulled out at the front, the used towel is automatically drawn in at the rear, and the end of the towel hangs down vertically when the roll of clean toweling has been used up. The inventive towel retracting or retraction apparatus contains a towel loop loaded with a weighted roller and concealed by a cover which can be part of an enclosure. The used toweling or towel section is thereby pulled behind the cover where it can neither be seen nor reached by the user. A delay mechanism ensures that the towel loop, which is partially pulled out from the towel dispenser and partially pulled out from behind the cover, remains stationary for a few seconds before it is retracted behind the cover.
