An element for adjusting the width of the outlet (11) in paper towel dispensers (10) consists of a single piece molded in a plastic material having resilience features, in two specular left (1a) and right (1b) versions, which is substantially C-shaped with two lugs extending from a central body. Said lugs are parallel and spaced by a distance substantially equal to the thickness of the bottom wall (12) of the dispenser (10) in the area where the outlet (11) is formed, so as to enclose said area between a first lug of smaller extension on the outer side and a second lug of greater extension on the inner side. The inner lug carries a securing member suitable to couple with any of a plurality of mating fixing members provided close to the outlet (11) of the dispenser (10), so as to reduce by an adjustable extent the free width of the outlet.
Element for adjusting the width of the outlet (11) in paper towel dispensers (10), characterized in that it consists of a single piece molded in a plastic material having resilience features, in two specular left (1a) and right (1b) versions, which is substantially C-shaped with two lugs (4, 5) extending from a central body (6), said lugs (4, 5) being substantially parallel and spaced by a distance substantially equal to the thickness of the bottom wall (12) of the dispenser (10) in the area where the outlet (11) is formed, so as to enclose said area between a first lug of smaller extension (5) on the outer side and a second lug of greater extension (4) on the inner side, the latter carrying at least one securing member (3a;
Adjusting element according to any of the preceding claims, characterized in that the two lugs (4, 5) are shaped with a slight V angle with respect to the central body (6), said angle corresponding to the angle of the bottom wall (12) in the area where the outlet (11) is formed.
Adjusting element according to any of the preceding claims, characterized in that it is molded in a plastic material selected between polyethylene and polypropylene.
