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.

Abstract: A paper towel dispensing apparatus and an assembly for converting a cloth towel dispensing apparatus into a paper towel dispensing apparatus wherein the assembly is of the type employing a wall-mounted cabinet, a roll of toweling carried in a towel bin from which the toweling is withdrawn and directed upwardly between a first drive roller and a pinch roller, about the pinch roller and downwardly, forming a depending loop from which the toweling is directed upwardly between a second drive roller and a take-up roller and is rolled about the take-up roller. As the user dries his hands on the loop of toweling and pulls downwardly on the toweling, a limited amount of clean paper toweling is pulled from the roll and an equal amount is wrapped about the take-up roller.
