<p>The invention relates to a method and apparatus for discharging paper towels or the like. The apparatus comprises a reservoir having at least one inlet connectable with a water supply, at least one opening for throwing in the paper towels, and an outlet connectable with a sewer-pipe, wherein a valve means is provided which is periodically movable between a position, in which the outlet is closed, and a position, in which the outlet is opened. The paper towels can be thrown in the reservoir, in which the supplied water is collected, wherein an amount of the water collected in the reservoir together with a plurality of the towels gathered in the water is periodically discharged through the closable outlet on a sewer-pipe. In this manner an automatical discharge of the used paper towels is obtained, whereby the disorderly and unhygienic impression of over-full refuse boxes is avoided.</p> |
