Abstract
A device for dispensing web material, particularly paper towel material, in a series of sheets has means for carrying first and second rolls of the material. A pivotally mounted lever is retained against resilient bias by the presence of the web from the first roll and released after consumption of the web from the first roll to carry the tail end of the web from the first roll into frictional engagement with the leading end of the web from the second roll in a nip formed between a backing roller and a roller carried on the lever.
