Distributor mechanism shown in Fig. 1 is a upright case structure, and a plurality of coil papers that vertical direction is piled up can be remained on wherein.Current work coil paper 5 is illustrated by the broken lines, and one or two new coil paper is supported on this work coil paper.Facts have proved that for the distributor mechanism in the public utility, it is just enough to have the ability that can hold three coil papers at most.

This distributor mechanism has pair of sidewalls 10, an antetheca 11 and a rear wall 12.Have a hinged top cover 14 on the upper end 13, and be provided with the inlet that is used to put into new coil paper when safeguarding, lower end 15 has the opening 16 of thin-and-long, and the free end of coil paper 5 can be from stretching out here.This narrow orifice 16 should have enough sizes and can be removed to guarantee the core body in the coil paper.

This distributor mechanism generally also has a plurality of openings on diverse location, attendant's hand can be stretched into to adjust coil paper.There is shown the opening 17 that lays respectively on the sidewall and the opening 18 on the front and rear wall.The center of the position deviation sidewall of the opening 17 on the sidewall.For the people that coil paper is taken out in the open top of attempting from the upper end 13, this set can limit him and directly force on the coil paper.

The top cover 14 of the distributor mechanism among Fig. 2 is full open position.This top cover can have any structure, as long as can stop above-mentioned coil paper to be removed.When top cover was closed, outside plate 20 covered inlet, and when top cover was opened, inner panel 21 moved upward and covers this inlet.Two plates are reinforced by sidepiece 22 and a pair of muscle 23.

The new coil paper that need put at first is placed on the inner panel 21, and top cover is closed inner panel 21 is moved down and discharge coil paper then.Then, if necessary, can open top cover once more to add a coil paper again.Because when top cover is opened, inner panel 21 can move up, so anyone wants to take coil paper away from this distributor mechanism, can only exert great efforts and by opening 17 coil paper be taken out.

Fig. 3,4 and 5 is respectively the sectional side elevation of this distributor mechanism, illustrates one and returns limited part 30 and the position of coil paper supporter 40 in housing.Return limited part 30 by one, preferably two projections constitute, this projection is positioned near extending on the sidewall 10 of distributor mechanism upper end 13 and downwards.Supporter 40 by one, preferably two flexure strips are formed, this flexure strip is positioned at the middle part of sidewall 10 basically vertically.Here preferred construction can be replaced by other means that can realize above-mentioned effect.
