A dispenser (1) for dispensing a portion of sheet product (7) stored in a dispenser, in which a dispensed sheet portion (24) is to be removed by tearing the sheet portion (24) from the remaining product supply. The dispenser includes a system which detects the presence of sheet product in a region (21) of a dispensing outlet. Upon detection of a potential user, the sensing system causes dispensing of paper, on the condition that the sheet portion (24) is regarded as having been torn off. The system includes means (17, 18) for detecting a discontinuity in the sheet product (7). |
