A paper towel dispenser dispenses towels from a paper supply and includes a dispenser housing a low-reserve indicator mechanism for indicating when a reserve quantity of the paper supply is low. The dispenser housing has a housing wall structure on which the low-reserve indicator mechanism is affixed. The paper supply has vertically super imposed edge portions which form an outwardly facing vertical side of the paper supply. The low-reserve indicator mechanism includes an indicator mounted for movement between a retracted position and an indicating position for establishing a low- reserve indication detectable from outside of the dispenser house. The indicator mechanism also includes a release mechanism adapted to be spring-biased into contact with the vertical side of the paper supply. The release mechanism is released for movement in response to becoming unsupported by a diminishing height of the vertical side of the paper supply to cause the indicator to move to its indicating position.

Distributeur d'essuie-tout distribuant des essuie-tout à partir d'une réserve de papier et comprenant un distributeur qui contient un indicateur de remplissage permettant de savoir si la quantité de papier de réserve est insuffisante. Le boîtier du distributeur contient une paroi sur laquelle l'indicateur de remplissage est fixé. La réserve de papier contient des lames superposées à la verticale qui forment une bordure verticale tournée vers l'extérieur. L'indicateur de remplissage comprend un indicateur monté de façon à pouvoir passer d'une position rétractée à une position d'indication (indiquant que la quantité de papier est insuffisante) qui est visible de l'extérieur du boîtier du distributeur. L'indicateur comprend également un mécanisme de libération sollicité par un ressort en contact avec le rebord vertical de la réserve de papier. Ce mécanisme de libération se déclenche chaque fois que la hauteur du rebord vertical de la réserve de papier diminue d'un cran et place l'indicateur dans la position d'indication.
