Abstract: There is disclosed a multiple roll towel dispenser. The dispenser cabinet has a pair of feed rollers (37,38) forming a feed roll nip (35), means (43) for driving one of the feed rollers (37) to dispense web (30W) from the cabinet, means (32,33) in the cabinet for supporting a first roll (30) of web material with its web extended between the feed roll nip (35), and means (47) for supporting a second roll (28) of web material with its web (28W) extended adjacent to the feed roll nip (35). The dispenser also includes means (75), contacting the edge of the first roll (30), having a first position for sensing the diameter of the first roll; means (84), connected to the sensing means (75), for biasing the sensing means (75) against the edge of the first roll (30); biased transfer means (51) for introducing the extended web (28W) of the second roll (28) into the feed roll nip (35); and stop means (75a), connected to the sensing means (75), the stop means (75a) being located to resist motion of the transfer means (51) at a ready position when the edge of the first roll (30) resists movement of the sensing means (75). When the edge of the first roll (30) no longer resists movement of the sensing means (75), the sensing means (75) and connected stop means (75a) moves to a second position which allows the biased transfer means (51) to move to a transfer position where the extended web (28W) of the second roll (28) is introduced into the feed roll nip (35).
