Abstract
A dispenser for dispensing sheets of paper towelling from a tubular roll of paper towelling that has perforated lines across it at spaced-apart intervals dividing the towelling into joined together sheets. The dispenser has a base on which one end of the towelling roll sits and an opening in the base through which one end of the towelling, from within the roll, is passed in the form of a spiral tail. This tail is then passed through gripping members beneath the base which both flatten the towel into a band-like strip and grip the strip so that when the strip is pulled beneath the gripping means, the outermost sheet of towelling is torn away along a line of perforations.
