Definitions

  • the invention relates to a towel dispenser for folded paper towels with a back plate suitable for attachment to a wall, which is followed by a housing suitable for receiving a towel bundle, in the front wall of which a removal slot is provided for dispensing the towels.
  • a towel dispenser should be simple and cost-effective.
  • this object is achieved in that a towel dispenser of the type described above is provided with a pressure element supported on the back plate, which resiliently rests against the towel container in the operating position of the towel dispenser such that it is pressed against the removal slot from the inside.
  • the towel bundle is pressed against the removal slot with almost constant force, regardless of whether it is still almost complete or whether it has already been largely used up by the removal of paper towels, so that with each removal of a paper towel the container becomes smaller and smaller is continuously transported to the removal slot.
  • the arrangement of such a pressure element can be done with mechanically extremely simple means, so that the manufacturing costs for a towel dispenser according to the invention can be kept low.
  • the housing is a trough-shaped hood for receiving the towel bundle, which is pivotably articulated on the back plate.
  • This embodiment enables the towel dispenser to be refilled more easily, since the insertion of a fresh towel bundle into the trough-shaped hood does not have to take place against the resistance of a spring.
  • the trough shape prevents the paper towels from falling out of the dispenser when inserted.
  • the pressure element can be a scissors-shaped spring clip, which is particularly recommended if the towel dispenser is to be suitable for larger towel packages, so that the pressure element has to be covered over a longer tracking path.
  • the spring clip is integrally formed on the back plate. Accordingly, the spring clip is made of the same material as the back plate, for which well-known plastics can be used.
  • the pressure element is a V-shaped or U-shaped spring clip, which is fastened with its web side to the back plate.
  • a spring clip usually bent from strip steel, can be attached to the back plate in a very simple manner, in a detachable or non-detachable manner.
  • one or more coiled compression spring can be provided as the pressure element.
  • Helical compression springs or conical spiral springs are particularly suitable here.
  • the pressure element has, in addition to a spring clip.
  • Compression spring (s) on a pressure plate which is arranged between the spring clip or compression spring and towel pack.
  • the pressure plate is placed between the free legs of the spring clip and the paper towel container, so that there is no relative movement on the surface of the paper towel container. Rather, this relative movement, which results from the spring travel of the spring clips, takes place in this case between the spring clip and the pressure plate.
  • the free legs of the spring clip are slidably connected to the pressure plate.
  • the spring clip can also be attached to the pressure plate with its closed bracket, preferably by integral molding, the free legs being slidably connected to the back plate.
  • the pressure plate is to be guided along part of its conveying path by means of guide rails or slides, the housing being adapted accordingly if necessary.
  • a locking device is to be provided, with which the pressure element can be held under tension when the hood is open.
  • This design is particularly advantageous in that the filling of the towel dispenser when the hood is open is not hindered by the pressure element which protrudes far as a result of the fully relieved spring clips or compression springs. It is advantageous if such a locking device can be unlocked automatically by closing the hood, so that no separate handling handle has to be carried out by the operating personnel.
  • the locking device comprises at least two resilient catch hooks attached to the back plate, which engage around the spring clip or the pressure plate on opposite sides in the locking position.
  • This design of the locking device in turn has the advantage of the simplest mechanical construction, since the catch hooks, which can be made of spring steel or plastic material, mean only slight additional expenditure for the production of a towel dispenser according to the invention. So you can e.g. Spray the hooks as part of the back plate in one step.
  • the towel dispenser shown in cross section in FIG. 1 comprises, as a supporting element, a back plate 1 which is fastened to a wall 12 with fastening elements 11 (preferably screws).
  • a trough-shaped hood 5 is articulated on the back plate 1 so as to be pivotable about an axis 61.
  • the trough-shaped hood 5 serves to hold a bundle of folded paper towels 10.
  • the hood 5 has a removal slot 51 in its front wall.
  • the container made of paper towels 10 is continuously pressed against the inside of the front wall of the hood 5 by a pressure element when the hood 5 is closed, as shown in FIG. 1.
  • a pressure element when the hood 5 is closed, as shown in FIG. 1.
  • the pressure element consists of a V-shaped spring clip 2, which is fastened to the back plate 1 in the region of its apex.
  • the free legs 20 of the spring clip 2 are angled outwards and are slidably inserted into groove-shaped pockets 31 of a pressure plate 3. In this way, the spring force of the spring clip 2 is transferred over a large area to the towel container without the container being advanced as a result of the removal of paper towels 10 a relative movement between the pressure element and the last paper towel 10 results.
  • two resilient catch hooks 4 are attached to the back plate 1, starting from the rest position shown in FIG the back plate 1 out and move towards each other so that they can grip the pressure plate 3 on opposite sides.
  • the pressure element consisting of spring clip 2 and pressure plate 3 can be retained in the area of the back plate 1, so as to keep the handling space free when the hood 5 is open for filling this hood with a new towel container.
  • the function of the resilient catch hooks 4 is shown in FIG. 6 on the basis of a detail from FIG. 1.
  • the extended position of the catch hook 4 shows the locking position in which it engages around the pressure plate 3, while the dash-dotted representation of the catch hook 4 represents the rest position, as shown in FIG. 1.
  • the pressure plate 3 is unlocked as a result; that lugs 52, which are attached to the edge of the hood 5 on both sides, press the catch hooks 4 out of their locking position into their rest position and hold them there with the hood 5 closed.
  • the locking device for the pressure element formed with the aid of the catch hook 4 is only to be understood as an exemplary embodiment, and differently designed locking or catching devices for the pressure element are conceivable in the same way.
  • the side view of the towel dispenser according to FIG. 2 shows the pivot hinge 6 arranged in the pivot axis 61, which connects the hood 5 to the back plate 1.
  • the removal slot in the front wall of the hood 5 is again designated 51.
  • FIGS. 4 and 5 each show an embodiment of a pressure element for a towel dispenser according to FIG. 1.
  • the back plate is designated 1 in each case, and catch hooks 4, which interact with a pressure plate 3, are indicated in FIGS. 4 and 5.
  • the embodiment of a pressure element shown in FIG. 3 is the simplest possible solution.
  • the pressure element consists only of a V-shaped spring clip 2a, the free legs 20a of which are angled outwards to form blunt edges.
  • the angled legs 20a of the spring clip 2a rest directly on the paper towel container.
  • the broadest possible leaf spring will be used as spring clip 2a in order to keep the specific contact pressure on the paper towel container low.
  • a spring clip 2b bent in a scissor-shaped manner is used, the angled free legs 20b of which are held on the pressure plate 3 such that they can slide with the aid of holding elements 32.
  • the fastening elements 32 preferably rivets or screws
  • the spring clips can be integrally formed on the back plate 1 and consist of the same plastic as the back plate 1.
  • the pressure element has a helical spring 2c which is fastened to the back plate 1 and to the pressure plate 3 in a suitable manner, for example by clamping or by gluing.
  • a conical coil spring can also be used.
  • the guide of the pressure plate 3 of a towel dispenser shown in FIG. 7 takes place with the aid of guide pins 33 which are laterally attached to the pressure plate and are slidably held in the backdrop of guide arms 13.
  • Four guide arms 13 are preferably attached to the back plate 1.
  • a spring clip 2b bent in a scissor shape is fastened to the pressure plate 3 with its closed bracket, while its free legs are slidably mounted on the back plate 1 in the transverse direction.
