An improved dispenser (10) for paper towels that prevents potential vandals from pulling large clumps of towels out of the dispenser at one time includes an outer housing (12) defining an interior space, and a stacking mechansim (14) mounted within the outer housing for holding a stack of paper towels within the interior space. A dispensing throat (16, 18) is defined in the outer housing proximate to an end of the stacking mechanism, and includes a slot portion (44) that has a length that is sufficient to permet a paper towel to be pulled therethrough by a user, but a relatively narrow width that will prevent more than a few towels from being pulled through the throat at one time. The dispensing throat further includes a finger slot portion (46) to help a user grip and pull a paper towel through the dispensing slot despite the relatively narrow width of the dispensing slot.

Distributeur amélioré (10) pour essuie-mains en papier, qui empêche des vandales potentiels de tirer de grosses épaisseurs de papier du distributeur d'un seul coup. Ledit distributeur comporte un boîtier (12) externe définissant un espace intérieur, et un mécanisme d'empilage (14) monté dans le boîtier externe et destiné à maintenir une pile d'essuie-mains en papier dans l'espace intérieur. Une gorge de distribution (16, 18) est ménagée dans le boîtier externe à proximité d'une extrémité du mécanisme d'empilage et comporte une fente (44) dont la longueur est suffisante pour permettre à un utilisateur de tirer un essuie-mains par ladite fente, mais dont la largeur est relativement faible pour empêcher que l'on tire plus de quelques essuie-mains d'un seul coup par ladite gorge. La gorge de distribution comporte en outre une fente (46) pour le doigt destiné à aider l'utilisateur à saisir et tirer un essuie-mains par la fente de distribution en dépit de la largeur relativement faible de ladite fente.
