Description

La présente invention se rapporte à un distributeur, en particulier à un distributeur d'une matière stockée sous forme de rouleaux, tels que des rouleaux de papier hygiénique, de serviettes en papier, etc.The present invention relates to a dispenser, in particular to a dispenser of a material stored in the form of rolls, such as rolls of toilet paper, paper towels, etc.

En particulier, l'invention concerne un perfectionnement du distributeur décrit dans la demande de brevet AU-D-4824779.In particular, the invention relates to an improvement of the dispenser described in patent application AU-D-4824779.

Ce document décrit un distributeur de matière en rouleaux comprenant un corps pourvu d'une extrémité supérieure et d'une extrémité inférieure et il est prévu, dans ou à côté de l'extrémité supérieure, une ouverture par laquelle un rouleau peut être inséré dans le conteneur et, à l'extrémité inférieure, une ouverture par laquelle une feuille de matière peut être dévidée d'un rouleau, le conteneur comportant à proximité de son extrémité de base un moyen d'obstruction servant à empêcher le passage d'un rouleau vers le bas au travers du conteneur et un moyen de libération permettant de pousser un rouleau pour le faire passer devant le moyen d'obstruction.This document describes a material dispenser in rolls comprising a body provided with an upper end and a lower end and there is provided, in or next to the upper end, an opening through which a roller can be inserted into the container and, at the lower end, an opening through which a sheet of material can be unwound from a roll, the container comprising near its base end an obstruction means serving to prevent the passage of a roll towards the bottom through the container and a release means for pushing a roller to pass it past the obstruction means.

La largeur de chaque paroi latérale du conteneur est légèrement supérieure à la largeur du rouleau avec lequel le conteneur est destiné à être utilisé. La largeur de la paroi avant est légèrement supérieure à la longueur du rouleau correspondant. A l'extrémité supérieure d'une des parois latérales, il est prévu une ouverture circulaire par laquelle un rouleau peut être inséré dans le conteneur.The width of each side wall of the container is slightly greater than the width of the roller with which the container is intended to be used. The width of the front wall is slightly greater than the length of the corresponding roller. At the upper end of one of the side walls there is a circular opening through which a roll can be inserted into the container.

L'ouverture supérieure est constituée par un évidement ménagé dans la partie supérieure d'une paroi latérale ou avant ou bien dans la paroi supérieure proprement dite, un rebord incliné dirigé vers l'intérieur étant prévu sur des côtés opposés de ladite ouverture afin qu'un rouleau puisse être inséré dans l'ouverture en le poussant entre les rebords, mais l'angle du rebord est tel que le rouleau ne puisse pas être retiré en passant sur les rebords. En d'autres termes, l'ouverture établit un passage unidirectionnel vers l'intérieur du conteneur, en empêchant un enlèvement non autorisé d'un rouleau hors du conteneur.The upper opening is formed by a recess in the upper part of a side or front wall or in the upper wall itself, an inclined edge directed inwards being provided on opposite sides of said opening so that a roller can be inserted into the opening by pushing it between the edges, but the angle of the edge is such that the roller cannot be removed while passing over the edges. In other words, the opening establishes a unidirectional passage towards the interior of the container, preventing an unauthorized removal of a roll from the container.

Bien que le distributeur décrit ci-dessus empêche d'enlever de façon non désirée le rouleau situé complètement en bas dans le distributeur, les rouleaux supérieurs peuvent être tournés et évacués sur le côté du fait qu'il n'existe aucun rebord latéral à cause de l'absence de compressibilité de la plupart des rouleaux dans cette dimension.Although the dispenser described above prevents unwanted removal of the roller located completely below in the dispenser, the upper rollers can be turned and moved to the side since there is no side edge due to the lack of compressibility of most rollers in this dimension.

Une autre difficulté rencontrée avec le distributeur du brevet précité consiste en ce que les rouleaux peuvent se déformer quand ils sont comprimés pour passer devant le moyen d'obstruction.Another difficulty encountered with the distributor of the aforementioned patent is that the rollers can deform when they are compressed to pass in front of the obstruction means.

On remédie aux difficultés mentionnées ci-dessus, conformément à la présente invention, à l'aide d'un distributeur d'une matière en feuille stockée sous forme de rouleaux cylindriques, distributeur qui comprend un corps comportant une extrémité supérieure et une extrémité inférieure, des parois latérales et des parois avant et arrière, dans lequel il est prévu une entrée de rouleaux dans une zone adjacente à ladite partie supérieure. L'ouverture d'entrée porte un rebord dirigé vers l'intérieur sur au moins une des lisières de ladite ouverture, il est prévu une sortie de feuille à la base dudit conteneur pour dévider la matière en feuille d'un rouleau se trouvant à l'intérieur du conteneur, ledit conteneur comporte un moyen élastique d'obstruction qui est placé à une distance entre une et deux fois le diamètre d'un rouleau au-dessus du fond de conteneur et une desdites parois du conteneur comporte une saillie dirigée vers l'intérieur et s'étendant depuis le haut dudit moyen d'obstruction vers la partie supérieure du conteneur pour empêcher une rotation d'un desdits rouleaux qui amènerait son axe à être parallèle au rebord latéral.The difficulties mentioned above are remedied, in accordance with the present invention, using a distributor of a sheet material stored in the form of cylindrical rollers, distributor which comprises a body comprising an upper end and a lower end, side walls and front and rear walls, in which there is provided an entry of rollers in an area adjacent to said upper part. The inlet opening has a rim directed inwards on at least one of the edges of said opening, a sheet outlet is provided at the base of said container for unwinding the sheet material from a roll located at the inside the container, said container comprises an elastic obstruction means which is placed at a distance between one and twice the diameter of a roll above the bottom of the container and one of said walls of the container has a projection directed towards the inside and extending from the top of said obstruction means towards the upper part of the container to prevent rotation of one of said rollers which would cause its axis to be parallel to the lateral edge.

De préférence, le moyen élastique d'obstruction comprend une pièce d'acier à ressort ou une plaque métallique qui est placée par une extrémité sur un des deux côtés du conteneur parallèlement aux axes des rouleaux, l'autre extrémité faisant saillie vers le bas à l'intérieur du conteneur. Avec cet agencement, un rouleau est maintenu au-dessus du moyen d'obstruction jusqu'à ce qu'il soit poussé vers le bas de manière à passer devant le moyen d'obstruction. Une fois qu'un rouleau est situé en dessous du moyen d'obstruction, l'angle du ressort rend impossible la poussée du rouleau vers le haut devant la plaque métallique. Cela est différent du moyen d'obstruction fixe prévu dans la demande de brevet précitée AU-D-4824779, qui ne pourrait pas empêcher un rouleau d'être poussé vers l'arrière au-delà du moyen d'obstruction.Preferably, the elastic blocking means comprises a piece of spring steel or a metal plate which is placed by one end on one of the two sides of the container parallel to the axes of the rollers, the other end projecting downwards. inside the container. With this arrangement, a roller is held above the obstruction means until it is pushed down so as to pass in front of the obstruction means. Once a roller is located below the blocking means, the angle of the spring makes it impossible to push the roller upwards in front of the metal plate. This is different from the fixed blocking means provided in the aforementioned patent application AU-D-4824779, which could not prevent a roller from being pushed back beyond the blocking means.

De préférence, la saillie prévue dans la partie supérieure du conteneur part d'une des parois du conteneur parallèle aux axes des rouleaux. Cette saillie peut être une plaque métallique profilée qui est fixée ou soudée sur la paroi intérieure ou bien elle peut être constituée par une partie formée par emboutissage dans la paroi proprement dite et s'étendant vers l'intérieur. Selon un mode préféré de réalisation, la saillie comprend deux rebords verticaux qui empêchent un mouvement de rotation du rouleau autrement qu'autour de son axe.Preferably, the projection provided in the upper part of the container starts from one of the walls of the container parallel to the axes of the rollers. This projection can be a profiled metal plate which is fixed or welded to the inner wall or it can be constituted by a part formed by stamping in the wall itself and extending inwards. According to a preferred embodiment, the projection comprises two vertical flanges which prevent a rotation movement of the roller other than around its axis.

D'autres avantages et caractéristiques de l'invention seront mis en évidence dans la suite de la description, donnée à titre d'exemple non limitatif, en référence au dessin unique annexé qui est une vue en perspective schématique d'un distributeur agencé conformément à la présente invention.Other advantages and characteristics of the invention will be highlighted in the following description, given by way of nonlimiting example, with reference to the single appended drawing which is a schematic perspective view of a dispenser arranged in accordance with the present invention.

Le distributeur est utilisable pour des rouleaux de papier hygiénique et il peut contenir jusqu'à trois rouleaux. Le distributeur se compose d'une paroi arrière 13, d'une paroi avant 12 et de parois latérales 11. Il est prévu en haut du conteneur un couvercle 15 destiné à obturer l'ouverture qui est utilisée pour insérer les rouleaux. Il est prévu à la base du conteneur une ouverture de sortie 14. Un rouleau 18 a été représenté dans une position où la feuille 19 peut être dévidée du rouleau par l'intermédiaire de l'orifice de sortie 14. Il est prévu sur,le bord inférieur de la paroi avant 12 un bord strié 16 facilitant le sectionnement de la feuille 19.The dispenser can be used for rolls of toilet paper and can hold up to three rolls. The dispenser consists of a rear wall 13, a front wall 12 and walls lateral 11. There is provided at the top of the container a cover 15 intended to close the opening which is used to insert the rollers. An outlet opening 14 is provided at the base of the container. A roller 18 has been shown in a position where the sheet 19 can be unwound from the roller via the outlet opening 14. It is provided on the lower edge of the front wall 12 a ribbed edge 16 facilitating the cutting of the sheet 19.

Le distributeur peut être monté par des moyens appropriés solidaires de la paroi arrière 13, sur un mur ou une colonne.The distributor can be mounted by appropriate means integral with the rear wall 13, on a wall or a column.

Les éléments qui empêchent la violation du distributeur selon l'invention sont constitués par la plaque élastique d'obstruction 22, le profilé en U anti-basculement 23 et les rebords latéraux 21. Une fois qu'un rouleau a été introduit complètement dans le distributeur, les rebords latéraux 21 empêchent son enlèvement. Comme indiqué précédemment, la largeur intérieure du distributeur (c'est-à-dire la largeur des parois 12 et 13) doit correspondre étroitement à celle des rouleaux à utiliser et le diamètre maximal des rouleaux doit de même correspondre à la profondeur intérieure du distributeur (c'est-à-dire la largeur des parois latérales 11).The elements which prevent violation of the dispenser according to the invention consist of the elastic blocking plate 22, the anti-tilt U-shaped profile 23 and the side flanges 21. Once a roller has been completely inserted into the dispenser , the side edges 21 prevent its removal. As indicated above, the interior width of the dispenser (i.e. the width of the walls 12 and 13) must closely correspond to that of the rollers to be used and the maximum diameter of the rollers must likewise correspond to the interior depth of the dispenser. (i.e. the width of the side walls 11).

Quand un rouleau est placé à l'intérieur du distributeur, il vient s'appuyer normalement sur la plaque élastique 22. Pour placer le rouleau dans la position de distribution, on l'agrippe par l'intermédiaire des ouvertures 24 et 25 ménagées dans les parois latérales 11 et on le pousse de façon à le faire passer sur la plaque élastique 22 pour l'amener dans la position occupée par le rouleau 18 sur le dessin. Une fois que le rouleau a passé sur la plaque 22, il ne peut pas être déplacé vers le haut. Pour enlever le rouleau 18, il faut le dévider jusqu'à ce que son diamètre devienne inférieur à celui de l'ouverture de sortie 14. Il est clair que la hauteur verticale de cette ouverture 14 correspond au diamètre du mandrin du rouleau 18. Quand le rouleau 18 est épuisé, son mandrin est sorti par l'intermédiaire de l'orifice 14 et un rouleau neuf est poussé en position.When a roller is placed inside the dispenser, it normally rests on the elastic plate 22. To place the roller in the dispensing position, it is gripped by means of the openings 24 and 25 formed in the side walls 11 and it is pushed so as to pass it over the elastic plate 22 to bring it into the position occupied by the roller 18 in the drawing. Once the roller has passed over the plate 22, it cannot be moved up. To remove the roller 18, it must be unwound until its diameter becomes smaller than that of the outlet opening 14. It is clear that the vertical height of this opening 14 corresponds to the diameter of the mandrel of the roller 18. When the roller 18 is exhausted, its mandrel is pulled out through the orifice 14 and a new roller is pushed into position.

Le profilé en U 23 orienté verticalement empêche un rouleau d'être basculé de manière que son axe soit parallèle aux rebords latéraux 21. On fait ainsi en sorte que, sans produire une déformation ou une destruction du distributeur, des rouleaux ne puissent pas être sortis non intentionnellement dudit distributeur.The vertically oriented U-section 23 prevents a roll from being tilted so that its axis is parallel to the lateral flanges 21. This ensures that, without producing distortion or destruction of the dispenser, rolls cannot be taken out unintentionally from said distributor.

Une caractéristique supplémentaire de l'invention consiste en ce qu'il est prévu dans les parois latérales 11, dans une zone adjacente à l'orifice de sortie 14, des bossages de freinage 27. En particulier lors de l'utilisation de rouleaux de papier hygiénique, une traction brusque exercée sur la feuille 19 transmet un couple de rotation au rouleau 18 qui continue à se dévider. Quand le rouleau est neuf et a un diamètre proche de son maximum, sa masse et ses dimensions ont tendance à empêcher un tel déroulement de se produire. Cependant lorsque le rouleau est assez épuisé, sa masse et ses dimensions diminuent et il risque plus de se produire un déroulement indésirable de la feuille. Cependant les découpures 27 qui sont placées dans des positions adjacentes à l'axe du rouleau exercent sur celui-ci une retenue suffisante pour ralentir sa rotation une fois que la feuille 19 cesse d'être tirée. Il en résulte qu'on évite une utilisation incorrecte du contenu du rouleau et qu'on fait en sorte qu'il existe dans la feuille une tension suffisante pour permettre son sectionnement le long du bord strié 16.An additional feature of the invention is that there are provided in the side walls 11, in an area adjacent to the outlet orifice 14, braking bosses 27. In particular when using rolls of paper hygienic, a sudden pull exerted on the sheet 19 transmits a torque to the roller 18 which continues to unwind. When the roll is new and has a diameter close to its maximum, its mass and dimensions tend to prevent such unwinding from occurring. However, when the roll is exhausted enough, its mass and dimensions decrease and there is a greater risk of unwanted unwinding of the sheet. However, the cutouts 27 which are placed in positions adjacent to the axis of the roller exert on it sufficient retention to slow down its rotation once the sheet 19 ceases to be drawn. As a result, incorrect use of the contents of the roll is avoided and sufficient tension exists in the sheet to allow it to be cut along the ribbed edge 16.

Un avantage supplémentaire de la présente invention consiste en ce que, du fait de l'absence d'une broche pour supporter le rouleau, il ne faut pas effectuer une opération compliquée pour le remplacement des rouleaux. Egalement il n'existe théoriquement aucun risque que le distributeur devienne vide du fait qu'il n'est pas nécessaire d'attendre qu'une broche soit libérée. On peut ajouter régulièrement des rouleaux dans le distributeur et, du fait qu'on ne peut les utiliser qu'à raison d'un à la fois, on peut prédéterminer leur consommation d'une façon plus sûre.An additional advantage of the present invention is that, due to the absence of a pin to support the roller, it is not necessary to perform a complicated operation for replacing the rollers. Also there is theoretically no risk that the dispenser becomes empty because there is no need to wait for a spindle to be released. Rolls can be added to the dispenser regularly and, since they can only be used one at a time, their consumption can be predetermined more securely.
