Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a dispenser for notebook sheets for dispensing the lowest sheet of a stack of sheets of predetermined thickness
  • a dispenser for notebook sheets for dispensing the lowest sheet of a stack of sheets of predetermined thickness
  • the dispenser comprising guide means intended to guide the movements of the carriage on the support from a first stop position to a second stop position, the support comprising a raised portion on which the sheets rest in the first stop position and having a front step intended to retain the lowest sheet in the second stop position so as to separate by offset the sheet stack of the lowest sheet when the carriage is moved from said second stop position to the first stop position.
  • British patent 544683 describes a flat coin dispenser, as defined above and in the preamble of claim 1. By its construction, this dispenser hardly lends itself to the distribution of sheets for notepads allowing easy note taking. after the lowest sheet has been separated from the stack of sheets.
  • this dispenser is designed to deliver tickets and includes a drawer containing the tickets mounted in a box, the base of which is cut in its front part to allow ejection or easy removal of the ticket issued.
  • a second embodiment described in this British patent consists of a machine provided with a drive device controlling the separation of strips of paper deposited freely on a table, where these strips are arranged side by side to be brought in an adjacent machine for further processing.
  • patent DE 284257 which also describes a separation machine similarly controlled by a drive device. This machine is arranged to separate sheets or cartons, which, once separated from the stack, are pushed by the front part of the carriage onto a table or a conveyor belt.
  • the two machines described above are of a complicated and heavy construction and cannot be used as a dispenser for notebook sheets, the separate sheet not being held on a support to facilitate note taking.
  • the dispenser according to the invention is characterized in that the support comprises a flat upper surface intended to serve as writing support for a sheet located in the second stop position, when the carriage is placed in the first stop position, said first and second stop positions being offset from each other by a distance such that a sheet located in said second stop position is partially engaged under the stack of sheets located in the first stop position so as to be pressed on a part of its surface against the support to be held there, the carriage comprising a front wall whose lower edge is separated from said upper surface intended to serve as a support for writing by a gap substantially wider than said predetermined thickness, but less wide than twice this thickness.
  • this dispenser has a simple construction allowing manufacturing at low cost.
  • the support comprises, next to the raised portion, the in a direction perpendicular to the direction of sliding, non-raised portions, the rear wall of the carriage having a lower edge having a part arranged flush with the raised portion and portions arranged flush with the non-raised portions so as to serve as pusher for the lowest sheet when the carriage is moved from the first to the second stop position.
  • the support is constituted by a rectangular plate comprising two lateral faces, the carriage having extensions arranged so as to come opposite the two lateral faces of the support, ball bearings being mounted between these extensions and the lateral faces of the support.
  • the dispenser is composed of a support 1, a carriage 2 and a cover 3.
  • the carriage 2 comprises four vertical walls 4 arranged so as to surround a stack of sheets 5 of paper.
  • This carriage 2 is slidably mounted on the support 1 by means of ball bearings 6 and does not have a bottom so that the sheets 5 rest directly on the upper face of the support 1.
  • This support consists of a plate 7 representing two parallel side faces 7b each provided with a groove 6a for a ball bearing.
  • the side walls 4a of the carriage have extensions 19 located opposite the two side faces 7b of the support.
  • Each extension 19 comprises two grooves 6b in which the balls 8 are engaged, thus constituting with the grooves 6a four grooved ball bearings.
  • the support plate 7 has an upper surface 7a with a slightly raised portion 9 forming on its front part a step 9a at a sharp angle.
  • the height of this step 9a is substantially equal to the thickness of the sheets 5 used, that is to say one tenth of a millimeter.
  • the front wall 4b has a lower edge 10 not touching the upper surface 7a of the support. A gap wider than the thickness of a sheet, but narrower than that of two sheets, separates this edge 10 from the surface 7a.
  • the rear wall 4c has a lower edge comprising two lateral portions 11 placed flush with the surface 7a and a higher middle portion 12 surrounding the raised portion 9 of the plate 7.
  • the carriage 2 can be moved from a first stop position A, as illustrated in FIG. 1, where the sheets rest on the raised portion 9, towards a second stop position B in which the lowest sheet rests entirely on the surface 7a of the support and is applied to it by the weight of the stack of sheets 5 and of the cover 3.
  • a second stop position B in which the lowest sheet rests entirely on the surface 7a of the support and is applied to it by the weight of the stack of sheets 5 and of the cover 3.
  • the surface of this sheet in position B which is found engaged under the stack in position A is less than quarter of its surface.
  • the support plate 7 thus constitutes a writing support for the sheet maintained in position B, which allows easy taking of notes without the sheet having to be held by the other hand of the user. They can, for example, hold a telephone receiver in one hand and take notes with the other hand.
  • the carriage 2 and the support 1 are preferably made of plastic.
  • the upper surface 7a of the plate 7 advantageously has a low roughness increasing the adhesion of the lowest sheet on this surface.
  • the surface of the raised part 9 is entirely smooth to allow easy sliding of the stack of sheets.
  • Anti-slip pads 13 made of elastomer are fixed on the underside of the plate 7 to prevent the latter from sliding relative to the base on which the dispenser is placed. Lateral notches 14 provided on the lateral edges of the plate 7 make it easier to grasp the separate sheet of the stack.
  • the cover 3 has an outer contour 15 substantially identical to that of the sheets and presses the latter against the upper face of the support 7.
  • This cover 3 is advantageously provided with a handle 16 having blind holes 17 in which pencils or pens can be introduced.
  • This cover 3 could also carry lockers for the storage of other office items.
