Definitions

  • This invention relates to apparatus for dispensing plastics stretch film and in particular for manually wrapping plastics stretch film around a package, for example a loaded pallet.
  • U. S. Patent No. 4,179,081 discloses apparatus for manually dispensing plastics stretch film in which the film is contained on a core having extended ends.
  • a pair of flexible hand grips are rotatably mounted on the ends of the core whereby control of the tension on the film during dispensing can be achieved by manually squeezing the hand grips to effect a braking action on the core.
  • this apparatus provides a satisfactory manual dispenser for stretch film, it suffers from the disadvantage that it is difficult, in view of the projecting ends of the core, to wrap film around a package near the ground-engaging surface of the package.
  • An object of the present invention is therefore to obviate or minimize this problem.
  • the invention resides in one aspect in apparatus for dispensing plastic film having a core comprising:
  • the invention resides in apparatus for manually dispensing plastics stretch film
  • a hollow core for receiving a roll of the film, the core being of a length such that it projects from one end, but not both ends, of the film in use; a flexible hand grip rotatably mounted on said one end of the core to permit control of the tension on the film during manual dispensing of the film; and a generally U-shaped handle separate from the core and having one limb rotatably mounted in the other end of the core, the other limb of the handle being generally parallel, with, but spaced from, the axis of the core and extending towards said one end of the core.
  • the accompanying drawing is a sectional view of a plastic film dispenser according to one example of the invention.
  • the apparatus includes a hollow core 11 around which is wound a roll of plastics stretch film 12.
  • the length of the core 11 exceeds the width of the film 12 so that one end 13 of the core 11 extends from the adjacent edge of the roll of stretch film.
  • the other end 14 of the core is, however, arranged so as to lie flush with the adjacent edge of the film.
  • a flexible hand grip 15 conveniently in the form of a cup-shaped PVC member. If desired, the external surface of the hand grip 15 may be provided with axially extending ribs [not shown] to facilitate gripping thereof.
  • the limb 16 of the handle 17 is generally in the form of a hollow cylinder which, at least at its free end, is normally of increased external diameter as compared to the internal diameter of the core.
  • the limb 16 is, however, formed with an axially extending slot 18 so that, by resiliently deforming the limb 16 so as to close the slot 18, the limb 16 can be inserted into the end 14 of the core 11. In use, therefore, the limb 16 is urged by its own resilience against the internal surface of the core 11 so that the handle 17 is releasably retained by the tore but at the same time the core is free to rotate relative to the handle.
  • the other limb 19 of the handle 17 is also in the form of a hollow cylinder whose axis is parallel with, but spaced from, the axis of the core 11 and which extends towards the end 13 of the core.
  • the limb 19 is conveniently formed with external, axially extending ribs to facilitate gripping of the handle 17 and is joined to the limb 16 by a base member 21 in the form of a shallow trough strengthened by internal ribs 22. It is to be appreciated that by arranging that the limbs 16, 19 are hollow and the base member 21 is in the form of a trough minimizes the amount of material required to mold the handle 17. In this way the cost of the handle 17 is minimized so that the entire assembly of the handle 17, core 11 and hand grip 5 can be thrown away after the roll of film 12 has been used up.
  • the operator grips the limb 19 of the handle 17 and the hand grip 15. Then, by squeezing the hand grip 15, the operator can adjust the tension on the film 12 to stretch the film during wrapping.
  • the film 12 extends up to the other end 14 of the core 11 and the handle 17 projects therefrom only by the height of the shallow base member 21, the film 12 can be readily wrapped adjacent the ground-engaging surface of the package.
