Abstract
A two roll tissue dispenser includes mandrels, each supported by an arm having a sleeve portion pivoted on a common axis. Projections on the adjacent ends of the sleeves inter-engage to cause movement of the arm which supports the mandrel in an upper storage position to a lower dispensing position when the mandrel for the lower roll is pushed rearwardly from the dispensing position to an exhausted spool position.
