Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a collecting container for paper towels.
  • the paper towels are used only once and are therefore better from a hygienic point of view than, for example, the likewise known towel rolls made of textile material.
  • paper towels are made of very high quality material - the paper towels are made almost entirely of cellulose - it is desirable in the context of energy and raw material prices to collect the used towels and process them in a recycling process and to use them as starting material for new paper towels.
  • the present invention has for its object to provide a collection container for paper towels, in which they can not only be collected, but can also be pressed together in a confined space.
  • a collecting container for paper towels which solves this problem, is characterized by a shaft-like container closed except for an upper filling opening, in which a bottom is arranged so as to be movable against the action of a force accumulator and which is equipped with a compaction device in the region of its filling opening.
  • Such a collecting container has the advantage that paper towels can not only be stored and collected in it, but that the used paper towels can also be compressed in a very small space by the compression device.
  • a paper package corresponding to its internal cross-sectional shape is created in the course of the time, which is only insignificantly larger than the same number of New paper towels. This gives the opportunity to return the used and compressed paper towels to the manufacturer in the same packaging in which new towels are delivered to the consumer.
  • FIGS. 1 and 2 show a device which represents a combination of a paper towel dispenser 1 and a collecting container 2.
  • the paper towel dispenser 1 is arranged above the collecting container 2 and can be attached to a wall of a washroom.
  • the paper towel dispenser 1 is closed at the front by a door 3 with a large removal opening 4.
  • the collecting container 2 is removably attached to the paper towel dispenser 1, specifically in the area of two guide rails 5, which are attached to the lower end of the paper towel dispenser 1 and engage in the two guide ribs 6 of the collecting container 2.
  • the guide rails 5 are still covered by the lower end region of the door 3, so that the collecting container 2 can only be pulled off or pushed in when the door 3 is open.
  • the collecting container 2 consists of a housing which has a rectangular cross section in the exemplary embodiment shown and which only has a filling opening 7 at the top into which used paper towels can be thrown.
  • a base 8 is arranged displaceably within the housing.
  • This floor 8 consists essentially of a U-profile pointing downwards with its open side, the central web 8a of which forms the actual floor surface.
  • a plurality of rollers 9 are attached to the base 8 and, contrary to the action of two springs 10, are displaceable parallel to the central web 8a.
  • the sides 11 of the collecting container 2 facing the rollers 9 are corrugated, the distance between two curve valleys 12 corresponding to one another the distance between two superimposed rollers 9. It is thereby achieved that the displaceable floor 8 will always assume a position which corresponds to the position shown in FIG. 1, ie the superimposed rollers 9 on each end face of the floor 8 will always be independent of the height position which the floor is currently occupying engage in two superimposed curve valleys 12 on the sides 11. In order to move the bottom 8 downwards in the sense of the arrow A shown in FIG. 1, it is necessary to overcome the frictional forces between the sides 11 and the rollers 9, which is largely determined by the strength of the springs 10, by means of which the rollers 9 be charged in the direction of pages 11.
  • the pivot axis 14 is arranged in the region of the rear 15 of the collecting container 2 and which runs parallel to the rear 15.
  • a pivot lever 16 is attached on one side, which can be operated by hand. If this pivot lever 16 is pressed downward, the flap 13 moves from the initial position shown in solid lines in FIG.
  • the bottom 8 is moved upward so that it is in the vicinity of the filling opening 7. If used paper towels are now thrown into the collecting container, the space between the contact surface of the base 8 and the level of the filling opening is filled first. If other used paper towels are placed in the area of the filler opening 7, the whole of the paper towels already filled is compressed and compressed by actuating the flap 13.
  • the degree of compaction largely depends on how great the force is required to move the floor 8 downwards from the position it is currently occupying. This in turn is dependent on the one hand on the strength of the springs 10, but on the other hand also on the contour of the curved sides 11.
  • the flap 13 opens the filling opening 7 in its initial position, it is expedient to mount a retainer 17 opposite the flap 13, which prevents the paper towels which have not yet been compressed from being able to move out of the filling opening 7 automatically.
  • a tab 18 is attached, which is articulated to another tab 19.
  • the tab 19 is operatively connected to an articulated bracket 20 which is attached to an axis 21.
  • a closure flap 22 is fastened to the axis 21, which closes or releases the dispensing opening 23 of the paper towel dispenser 1.
  • the tab 19, which is operatively connected to the joint tab 20, is in the coupling area with a Elongated hole 24, in which a bolt 25 engages.
  • the slot 24 initially creates an empty path with respect to the pivoting of the articulated bracket 20, namely when the pivot axis 14 of the flap 13 is pivoted by actuating the pivot lever 16. This free travel is dimensioned such that actuation of the articulated bracket 20 and thus the release of the dispensing opening 23 only occurs when the flap 13 lies approximately in the horizontal plane. This ensures in a simple manner that a user of the device forcibly compresses the used paper towels, since he can only remove a fresh towel when he actuates the pivoting lever 16.
  • a return spring 28 is connected to the link 18 directly connected to the pivot axis 14 as well as to the joint link 20, so that after releasing the pivot lever 16 both the flap 13 and the closure flap 22 swivel back into their starting position.
  • the exemplary embodiment of the invention partially shown in FIGS. 3 and 4 differs from the construction according to FIGS. 1 and 2 only in that only two rollers 9 are attached to the bottom 8 at each end.
  • guide strips 26 are arranged on the side webs 8b of the U-shaped profile 8 at a distance from one another and parallel to one another formed, which engage in longitudinal guides 27 of the collecting container 2. This ensures an exact parallel guidance of the base 8, although only two rollers 9 are arranged on the end faces of the base 8.
  • the base 8 can have only a small overall height, so that the usable volume of the collecting container 2 can be kept quite large.
  • the collecting container 2 can be made of plastic, but there is also the possibility of designing the collecting container 2 as a metal structure.
  • the pivoting lever 16 for actuating the flap 13 can be attached to both the right and the left side of the collecting container 2. This ultimately depends on the spatial conditions under which the collecting container 2 is installed.
  • the flap 13 to be actuated by a motor, for example by means of a micromotor having a relatively small size.
  • a motor could be switched on or off by a switch-on button with a predetermined running time, likewise it is possible to control the motor via a light barrier.
  • the collecting container 2 is always combined with the paper towel dispenser 1, this could also be modified in such a way that the actual collecting container 2 is hung or parked at a different location than at the location where the paper towel dispenser 1 is located located.
  • the combination of the two parts has the advantage that there is a dependence on paper towel removal and compression of the used paper towels.
  • the combination of the collecting container 2 with the paper towel dispenser 1 also results in a compact structural unit which can also be used in private households without further notice.
  • the removal of the used paper towels compressed in the collecting container 2 is particularly easy if a plastic bag is placed over the collecting container 2 - from the insertion side, since the compressed paper towels are brought into the plastic bag by moving the bottom 8 into its upper end position without the need for an operator to touch the paper towels themselves.
  • the The collecting container 2 can be separated from the paper towel dispenser 1 and the retainer 17 in the throw-in area is part of the paper towel dispenser 1.
  • the unhindered removal of the used paper towels of the type specified above is easily possible.
  • the retainer 17 is arranged on the housing of the collecting container 2, it is expedient to make the retainer 17 pivotable in such a way that it can be pivoted completely out of the filling area of the collecting container 2 in order to remove the collected paper towels.
