Description
Kaufmann, Werner CH-5033 Buchs (Switzerland) A dispenser for hygiene paper The invention relates to a dispenser for hygiene paper containing a hous-ing, a first roll holder for the reception of a roll with a hygiene paper, a unit for the moistening of the hygiene paper with a liquid container, with a moistening roll and with a liquid tank which communicates with the liquid container (21) and the moistening roll and a guide roll for the hygiene paper.
Dry toilet paper and moist cleaning tissues are used for hygiene. In use, it has been found to be disadvantageous that the toilet paper and the cleaning tissues are presented spatially separately and the moist cleaning tissues can dry out. This can be very unpleasant in certain situations.
In DE A 26 44 871, a toilet tank is described from which dry and mois-tened toilet paper can be taken from a dispensing roll. The tank substan-tially consists of a housing in which a roll holder for the toilet paper is arranged and a flask which is arranged outside the housing. A deflection roll for the toilet paper, a transport roll for the toilet paper standing under spring action, a liquid container which communicates with the flask and a moistening roll which is connected to the liquid container line-wise are arranged in the tank. The toilet paper is guided over the deflection roll and the transport roll and is held by these at a member with a tear-off edge.
Dry toilet paper can be pulled off in this position. To moisten the toilet paper, the toilet paper is brought - against the spring action - into contact with the roll standing in line-wise connection with the liquid container.
Dry toilet paper and moist cleaning tissues are used for hygiene. In use, it has been found to be disadvantageous that the toilet paper and the cleaning tissues are presented spatially separately and the moist cleaning tissues can dry out. This can be very unpleasant in certain situations.
In DE A 26 44 871, a toilet tank is described from which dry and mois-tened toilet paper can be taken from a dispensing roll. The tank substan-tially consists of a housing in which a roll holder for the toilet paper is arranged and a flask which is arranged outside the housing. A deflection roll for the toilet paper, a transport roll for the toilet paper standing under spring action, a liquid container which communicates with the flask and a moistening roll which is connected to the liquid container line-wise are arranged in the tank. The toilet paper is guided over the deflection roll and the transport roll and is held by these at a member with a tear-off edge.
Dry toilet paper can be pulled off in this position. To moisten the toilet paper, the toilet paper is brought - against the spring action - into contact with the roll standing in line-wise connection with the liquid container.
2 The disadvantages of the tank can be seen in the fact that the toilet paper is moistened by pulling the toilet paper against the spring action, with the degree of moistening depending on the pull-off speed. Toilet paper can thereby by moistened only partly or too strongly. With too high a pulling force, the moistened toilet paper can be torn or the dry toilet paper can be torn off outside the perforation and is consequently unusable. The tank is not suitable for the use of non-perforated hygiene paper from the roll. The reason for this can be seen in the relatively high tear strength of the hygiene paper.
It is the underlying object of the invention to provide a dispenser for hygiene paper which does not have the aforesaid disadvantages.
According to an aspect of the invention, there is provided a dispenser for hygiene paper, comprising a housing; a roll holder for mounting a roll with a hygiene paper; a unit for moistening the hygiene paper and having a liquid container, a moistening roll, and a liquid tank which communicates with the liquid container; a guide roll for the hygiene paper; a second roll holder for mounting a roll with a second hygiene paper which is arranged beneath the first roll holder; a dispensing unit with a transport roll for transporting the second hygiene paper, the transport roll being in contact with the moistening roll through intermediary of a layer of the hygiene paper; a drive unit for the transport roll; and a control unit for the drive unit, wherein the guide roll and the transport roll are freely rotatably supported on a holder, and the holder is pivotably arranged at the housing.
According to another aspect of the invention, there is provided dispenser for hygiene paper or cleaning 2a tissues, comprising a housing; a roll holder for receiving a roll with a hygiene paper; a unit for moistening the hygiene paper and having a liquid container with a moistening roll and at least one liquid tank which communicates with the moistening roll; a unit for dispensing a moistened hygiene paper and having a transport roll; and a drive unit for the transport roll, wherein the roll holder and the liquid tank are arranged at the housing; wherein the dispenser further comprises a hood pivotally arranged on the housing for covering the roll with the hygiene paper; wherein a guide roll for the hygiene paper is arranged between the moistening unit and the roll with the hygiene paper upstream of the transport roll and the moistening roll, and wherein the transport roll lies on the moistening roll with the hygiene paper arranged therebetween; wherein the housing comprises a base housing, an insert part, and means, for releasably connecting the base housing and the insert part, and wherein the hood covers the insert part and is pivotally arranged on the insert part.
According to a further aspect of the invention, there is provided dispenser for hygiene paper or cleaning tissues, comprising a housing; a roll holder for receiving a roll with a hygiene paper; a unit for moistening the hygiene paper and having a liquid container with a moistening roll and at least one liquid tank which communicates with the moistening roll; a unit for dispensing a moistened hygiene paper and having a transport roll; and a drive unit for the transport roll, wherein the roll holder and the liquid tank are arranged at the housing; wherein the dispenser further comprises a hood pivotally arranged on the housing for covering of the roll with the hygiene paper; wherein a guide roll is arranged between the moistening unit and the roll with the hygiene paper, and wherein the transport roll lies 2b on the moistening roll with the hygiene paper arranged therebetween, wherein the guide roll and the transport roll are rotatably arranged in the hood.
It is the underlying idea of the invention to make available by means of a dispenser dry hygiene paper or to present moistened hygiene paper, which can be used as toilet paper or as a cleaning tissue after the tearing off. There are provided for this purpose, roll holders for the respective hygiene paper arranged at a housing, a unit for the moistening of the hygiene paper with a liquid tank, a liquid container and a moistening roll, which communicate with one another, a unit for the dispensing with a transport roll for the transport of the hygiene paper, the transport roll being in contact with the moistening roll through the intermediary of a layer of the hygiene paper, with a drive unit for the transport roll and a control unit.
