Abstract
The towel dispenser adapted to store and supply a towel of undeterminate length. At least one of the unused and used portions of the towel is stored in the form of a roll on a shaft. The towel dispenser includes a pair of side walls each having at least one elongated hole. The portion of the side wall defining the inner peripheral edge of the elongated hole is obliquely bent towards each respective other side wall so as to form a tab projecting towards the other side wall. Each end of the shaft is rotatably and slidably received in the respective elongated hole defined by the respective tab, in such a manner that each end of the shaft does not project beyond the plane of the associated side wall.
