Definitions

  • the present invention generally relates to a paper dispensing device. It essentially relates to a paper dispensing device gathered in a block of paper cut into pre-folded sheets of paper, stored removably in a case with a substantially horizontal bottom.
  • the invention finds application in the distribution of paper such as in particular toilet paper, pocket handkerchief, cleansing paper, note paper or the like.
  • Paper dispensing devices for this type of block of paper cut into pre-folded sheets are known.
  • a first toilet paper dispensing device has an opening at the bottom of the housing which contains a block of paper. This opening allows the sheets of paper to be extracted one by one, but, when the block of paper is complete, the extraction is often difficult at the start, due to effects of jamming of the sheets of paper in the opening. On the other hand, when the block of paper comes to an end, the remaining sheets pass together through the opening during extraction, and disperse on the ground.
  • a second toilet paper dispensing device has an opening on a vertical face of the housing which contains the paper block. Through this opening, the leaves of pre-folded paper; but, when the block is half consumed, half of the block remaining in the housing tends to wind inside this housing, the extraction then becoming difficult. In addition, when the block comes to an end, it collapses at the bottom of the box and it is then no longer possible to extract the remaining sheets of paper through the opening.
  • British Patent No. 593,450 relates to a device for distributing heavy or large paper, gathered in a block of paper cut into sheets of pre-folded paper stored in a box.
  • the paper block is then pressed by means of a leaf spring, on rollers arranged in the housing.
  • the object of the present invention is to solve the aforementioned problems, by proposing a device for dispensing paper, in particular hygienic, of a design such that it avoids any additional means of holding the block of paper in the case and that it allows extraction easy and effective from pre-folded sheets of paper, one by one to the last sheets of the paper block.
  • the solution according to the present invention consists of a device for dispensing paper, in particular hygienic, gathered in a block of paper cut into sheets of pre-folded paper, removably stored in a case with a substantially horizontal bottom, said case containing two distinct objects being presented under the shape of cylindrical bodies such as rollers or the like and having an elongated space at least approximately median forming a guide slot for each sheet of paper, the extraction of a sheet automatically engaging the next sheet of paper in said guide slot, characterized in that said cylindrical objects have a predetermined minimum weight calculated according to the density of the material forming the cylindrical bodies and so as to be sufficient to maintain contact with the paper, and in that said cylindrical bodies rest freely on the top of the paper block.
  • the housing is completely open at its upper part.
  • the housing is provided with a cover comprising an opening or slot for extracting successive sheets of paper situated at least approximately above the abovementioned space.
  • the box is open on its upper face and contains two separate objects of a predetermined minimum weight in the form of cylindrical bodies 7 and 8.
  • rollers which rest freely on the top 9 of the paper block 6. These rollers are separated transversely by an elongated space 10 forming a guide slot for each sheet of paper during their extraction.
  • the predetermined minimum weight of these rollers is calculated so as to be sufficient to keep the rollers in the housing in contact with the paper block during the operations of extracting the sheets of paper, and according to the density of the material used for the manufacture of rollers.
  • the diameter 11 of the rollers is at least greater than twice the width of each lateral space 12 existing between the paper block 6 and the corresponding side face 13 of the housing, parallel to the longitudinal axis of the rollers.
  • the diameter of the rollers is such that they almost completely cover the surface 9 of the paper block; the two rollers then perform a function equivalent to that of a normal housing cover where the elongated space between the two rollers would form the extraction slot of the cover.
  • the housing is provided with an approximately vertical middle opening 15 on at least one of its lateral faces.
  • the first sheet 14 from the paper block 6 previously disposed in the housing 1, in the elongated space or guide slot 10 between the two rollers placed on the block.
  • This implementation is facilitated by the opening 15 of one of the side faces of the housing.
  • the second sheet of the paper block automatically engages in the guide slot 10.
  • the rollers 7 and 8 are of such a weight that they are alternately slightly lifted relative to each other, which facilitates the engagement of the next sheet in the guide slot 10. The operation can be repeated until the end of the paper block where all the sheets are efficiently extracted one by one at the top of the case.
  • the paper dispensing device therefore allows the complete exploitation of the paper blocks without accidental recovery of the remaining block of paper or without loss of the sheet necessary for the extraction of the sheets one by one as in the known devices.
  • the paper dispensing device can be provided with a cover.
  • This cover then includes a opening or slot for extracting successive sheets of paper, located at least approximately above the elongated space 10.
  • the cover has a role of protecting the block of paper and the object or objects of a predetermined weight resting on this block of paper.
