Description

La présente invention concerne généralement un dispositif de distribution de papier. Elle a essentiellement pour objet un dispositif de distribution de papier rassemblé en un bloc de papier découpé en feuilles de papier prérepliées, rangé amoviblement dans un boîtier à fond sensiblement horizontal.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.

L'invention trouve application à la distribution de papier tel que notamment papier hygiénique, mouchoir de poche, papier démaquillant, papier note ou analogues.The invention finds application in the distribution of paper such as in particular toilet paper, pocket handkerchief, cleansing paper, note paper or the like.

Des dispositifs de distribution de papier pour ce type de bloc de papier découpé en feuilles prérepliées sont connus.Paper dispensing devices for this type of block of paper cut into pre-folded sheets are known.

Un premier dispositif de distribution de papier hygiénique comporte une ouverture au fond du boîtier qui contient un bloc de papier. Cette ouverture permet l'extraction des feuilles de papier une par une, mais, lorsque le bloc de papier est complet, l'extraction est souvent difficile au départ, suite à des effets de bourrage des feuilles du papier dans l'ouverture. Par ailleurs, lorsque le bloc de papier arrive à sa fin, les feuilles restantes passent ensemble à travers l'ouverture lors de l'extraction, et se dispersent sur le sol.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.

Un second dispositif de distribution de papier hygiénique comporte une ouverture sur une face verticale du boîtier qui contient le bloc de papier. Par cette ouverture, sont extraites les feuilles de papier prérepliées ; mais, lorsque le bloc est à moitié consommé, la moitié du bloc restant dans le boîtier tend à s'enrouler à l'intérieur de ce boîtier, l'extraction devenant alors difficile. De plus, lorsque le bloc arrive à sa fin, il s'affaisse au fond de la boîte et il n'est alors plus possible d'extraire les feuilles de papier restantes par l'ouverture.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.

Enfin, le brevet britannique N° 593 450 a pour objet un dispositif de distribution de papier lourd ou de grande taille, rassemblé en un bloc de papier découpé en feuilles de papier prérepliées rangé dans un boîtier. Cependant, dans le mode de réalisation où la fente d'extraction est située dans la partie supérieure du boîtier, le bloc de papier est alors pressé au moyen d'une lame-ressort, sur des rouleaux disposés dans le boîtier.Finally, 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. However, in the embodiment where the extraction slot is located in the upper part of the housing, the paper block is then pressed by means of a leaf spring, on rollers arranged in the housing.

La présente invention a pour but de résoudre les problèmes précités, en proposant un dispositif de distribution de papier notamment hygiénique d'une conception telle qu'il évite tout moyen supplémentaire de maintien du bloc de papier dans le boîtier et qu'il permet une extraction facile et effective des feuilles de papier prérepliées, une par une jusqu'aux dernières feuilles du bloc de papier.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.

La solution conforme à la présente invention, consiste en un dispositif de distribution de papier notamment hygiénique rassemblé en un bloc de papier découpé en feuilles de papier prérepliées, rangé amoviblement dans un boîtier à fond sensiblement horizontal, ledit boîtier contenant deux objets distincts se présentant sous la forme de corps cylindriques tels que des rouleaux ou analogues et ménageant un espace allongé au moins approximativement médian formant fente de guidage pour chaque feuille de papier, l'extraction d'une feuille engageant automatiquement la feuille de papier suivante dans ladite fente de guidage, caractérisé en ce que lesdits objets cylindriques ont un poids minimal prédéterminé calculé en fonction de la densité du matériau formant les corps cylindriques et de façon à être suffisant pour maintenir le contact avec le papier, et en ce que lesdits corps cylindriques reposent librement sur le dessus du bloc de papier.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.

Ainsi, grâce à ce dispositif, ce type de bloc de papier est utilisé intégralement et de façon rationnelle.Thanks to this device, this type of paper block is used completely and rationally.

Selon une autre caractéristique de l'invention, le boîtier est totalement ouvert à sa partie supérieure.According to another characteristic of the invention, the housing is completely open at its upper part.

Selon une autre variante de l'invention, le boîtier est muni d'un couvercle comprenant une ouverture ou fente d'extraction des feuilles successives de papier située au moins approximativement au-dessus de l'espace précité.According to another variant of the invention, 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.

L'invention sera mieux comprise, et d'autres buts, caractéristiques et détails de celle-ci apparaîtront plus clairement à la lecture de la description explicative qui va suivre, faite en référence aux dessins schématiques annexés donnés uniquement à titre d'exemple non limitatif illustrant un mode de réalisation actuellement préféré de l'invention, et dans lesquels :

  • La figure 1 est une vue en perspective suivant un mode de réalisation du dispositif de distribution de papier de l'invention ;
  • La figure 2 est une vue en coupe transversale suivant la direction II-II de la figure 1 du dispositif de distribution de l'invention ;
En se référant aux figures 1 et 2, le dispositif de distribution de papier notamment hygiénique comprend un boîtier 1 par exemple de forme parrallélépipèdique, à fond 2 sensiblement horizontal et contenant un bloc de papier 6 découpé en feuilles de papier prérepliées, et rangé amoviblement dans ce boîtier. Le boîtier peut être fixé sur un support 3 formé par exemple par un mur au moyen d'organes de fixation tels que notamment des vis 4 et 5.The invention will be better understood, and other objects, characteristics and details thereof will appear more clearly on reading the explanatory description which follows, made with reference to the appended schematic drawings given solely by way of nonlimiting example illustrating a currently preferred embodiment of the invention, and in which:
  • Figure 1 is a perspective view according to one embodiment of the paper dispensing device of the invention;
  • Figure 2 is a cross-sectional view along direction II-II of Figure 1 of the dispensing device of the invention;
Referring to FIGS. 1 and 2, the device for dispensing paper, in particular hygienic paper, comprises a box 1, for example of parrallelepipedic shape, with bottom 2 substantially horizontal and containing a block of paper 6 cut out from pre-folded sheets of paper, and stored removably in this case. The housing can be fixed on a support 3 formed for example by a wall by means of fixing members such as in particular screws 4 and 5.

Selon l'invention, le boîtier est ouvert sur sa face supérieure et contient deux objets distincts d'un poids minimal prédéterminé se présentant sous la forme de corps cylindriques 7 et 8.According to the invention, 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.

Ces corps cylindriques sont des rouleaux qui reposent librement sur le dessus 9 du bloc de papier 6. Ces rouleaux sont séparés transversalement par un espace allongé 10 formant une fente de guidage pour chaque feuille de papier lors de leur extraction. Le poids minimal prédéterminé de ces rouleaux est calculé de façon à être suffisant pour maintenir les rouleaux dans le boîtier en contact avec le bloc de papier pendant les opérations d'extraction des feuilles de papier, et en fonction de la densité de la matière employée pour la fabrication des rouleaux. De plus, le diamètre 11 des rouleaux est au moins supérieur à deux fois la largueur de chaque espace latéral 12 existant entre le bloc de papier 6 et la face latérale 13 correspondante du boîtier, parallèle à l'axe longitudinal des rouleaux.These cylindrical bodies are 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. In addition, 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.

De préférence, le diamètre des rouleaux est tel qu'ils recouvrent pratiquement totalement la surface 9 du bloc de papier ; les deux rouleaux remplissent alors une fonction équivalente à celle d'un couvercle normal de boîtier où l'espace allongé entre les deux rouleaux formerait la fente d'extraction du couvercle.Preferably, 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.

Enfin, le boîtier est muni d'une ouverture médiane approximativement verticale 15 sur au moins l'une de ses faces latérales.Finally, the housing is provided with an approximately vertical middle opening 15 on at least one of its lateral faces.

Pour mettre en place le dispositif en position de service , il suffit de dégager la première feuille 14 du bloc de papier 6 préalablement disposé dans le boîtier 1, dans l'espace allongé ou fente de guidage 10 entre les deux rouleaux posés sur le bloc. Cette mise en place est facilitée par l'ouverture 15 d'une des faces latérales du boîtier. Au cours de l'extraction de cette première feuille qui est tirée vers le haut, la seconde feuille du bloc de papier s'engage automatiquement dans la fente de guidage 10. A chaque opération d'extraction d'une feuille, les rouleaux 7 et 8 sont d'un poids tel qu'ils sont alternativement légèrement soulevés l'un par rapport à l'autre, ce qui facilite l'engagement de la feuille suivante dans la fente de guidage 10. L'opération peut être répétée jusqu'à la fin du bloc de papier où toutes les feuilles sont extraites une par une de façon efficace à la partie supérieure du boîtier.To set up the device in the service position, it suffices to release 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. During the extraction of this first sheet which is pulled upwards, the second sheet of the paper block automatically engages in the guide slot 10. At each extraction operation of a sheet, 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.

Le dispositif de distribution de papier selon l'invention permet donc l'exploitation intégrale des blocs de papier sans récupération accidentelle du bloc restant de papier ou sans perte de la feuille nécessaire à l'extraction des feuilles une par une comme dans les dispositifs connus.The paper dispensing device according to the invention 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.

Il est par ailleurs à noter qu'entre les différentes opérations d'extraction des feuilles, la dernière feuille engagée dans la fente de guidage 10 repose sur l'un des rouleaux et reste facilement accessible pour l'opération suivante d'extraction. On a décrit précédemment un dispositif de distribution contenant comme objets d'un poids minimal prédéterminé, deux corps cylindriques reposant librement sur le bloc de papier. Ce mode de réalisation précédemment décrit est le meilleur mode de réalisation de l'invention actuellement.It should also be noted that between the different operations for extracting the sheets, the last sheet engaged in the guide slot 10 rests on one of the rollers and remains easily accessible for the next extraction operation. We have previously described a dispensing device containing as objects of a predetermined minimum weight, two cylindrical bodies resting freely on the paper block. This previously described embodiment is the best embodiment of the invention currently.

Cependant, on comprendra que le principe général de l'invention est applicable quelle que soit la forme cylindrique des corps, pourvu que la masse de ces derniers soit suffisante pour les maintenir constamment au contact du bloc de papier de façon qu'une pression soit réalisée de part et d'autre de l'espace allongé formant fente de guidage des feuilles successives de papier.However, it will be understood that the general principle of the invention is applicable regardless of the cylindrical shape of the bodies, provided that the mass of the latter is sufficient to keep them constantly in contact with the paper block so that pressure is applied on either side of the elongated space forming a guide slot for successive sheets of paper.

Selon une variante de réalisation de l'invention, le dispositif de distribution de papier peut être muni d'un couvercle. Ce couvercle comprend alors une ouverture ou fente d'extraction des feuilles successives de papier, située au moins approximativement au-dessus de l'espace allongé 10. Le couvercle a un rôle de protection du bloc de papier et du ou des objets d'un poids prédéterminé reposant sur ce bloc de papier.According to an alternative embodiment of the invention, 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.
