A two roll paper dispenser has roll-supporting mandrels mounted on slide blocks in a cantilevered position. The mandrels are automatically movable from a position wherein the first mandrel is located at a juncture of a first path and a second path and the second mandrel is located above the first mandrel in the first path and wherein the first mandrel can be moved from the juncture along carried thereon to open the juncture when sufficient paper is consumed from its roll. A spring engages the first mandrel slide block biasing the mandrel for movement away from the juncture, and the second mandrel slide block is biased for movement along the second path toward the juncture. The mandrels each have a proximal end attached to one of the mandrel slide blocks and a distal free end for insertion thereon of a roll of paper.
A dispenser for paper wound into rolls comprising walls defining an enclosure for confining first and second rolls of paper and defining an access opening opposite a rear wall to enable removal of sheets from said rolls, first and second mandrels, slide blocks for supporting said mandrels in a cantilevered position, a guide path formed on a wall of said enclosure, said guide path having first and second portions, with said second portion being transverse to said first portion and said slide blocks being mounted for movement in said guide path from a first position wherein said first mandrel slide block is located at a juncture of said first path portion and said second path portion and said second mandrel slide block is located above said first mandrel slide block in said first path portion and wherein said first mandrel slide block is moved from said juncture along said second path portion when sufficient paper is consumed from the roll carried thereon to open the juncture so that said slide block of said second mandrel is moved into said juncture to expose said second roll to said access opening, the improvement which comprises a spring engaging said first mandrel slide block wherein, as the diameter of the first roll on said first mandrel decreases, said spring pulls said first mandrel slide block along said first path away from said juncture.
