Abstract

This invention relates to a toilet roll dispenser consisting of a carousel provided with two or more storage means on each of which a toilet roll is stored, the carousel is rotatably mounted on a base plate so that the toilet rolls are moved to a position in the dispenser where toilet paper from the associated roll is dispensed therefrom. The storage means and the associated toilet roll are provided with interengaging male and female means for restricting free rotation of the toilet roll in the dispensing position and also facilitate loading of the toilet rolls onto the carousel. <IMAGE>
