Cleaning towel dispenser
Abstract
A towel dispenser ( 20 ) comprising a case container ( 24 ) and one lid ( 22 ) attached to the container ( 24 ) by a hinge ( 40 ). A removable inner box ( 26 ), placed upside down in the case container defines an inner case compartment ( 27 ) destined to receive a pile of wet towels ( 30 ). The inner box has a bottom ( 31 ) and a jagged slot ( 29 ) provided in the bottom to dispense towels. The slot of the lid and the passage of the towels through the jagged slot allow the dispensing, by traction, of towels stored in a controlled atmosphere chamber. The compartment can be divided into two closed chambers, a wet one ( 28 ) and a dry one ( 32 ) by a partition ( 52 ) to allow the use of a second type of towels. One can also install a lid compartment ( 25 ) (FIG.7).
