Definitions

  • This invention relates to a rolled paper towel dispenser device equipped with a spare roll.
  • Paper dispensers from a roll are already known which are adapted to supply paper portions of a predetermined or user-adjustable length, to be used as towels, tissues, and so on.
  • Said devices are usually installed in lavatory areas for communities or social premises like coffee, shops, bars, restaurants, and so on, whereby paper usage is rather fast, and a problem which has constantly to be faced is the availability of a spare roll which can be readily replaced in order to avoid any out of service condition due to the device being out of paper.
  • a spare roll is usually laid on said device, without any protection, whereby it can get wet, dirty or damaged in any way due to possible acts of vandalism by the users, who could also steal the roll.
  • the replacing operation of a used roll with a new one normally is not so easy to be left to the user himself but requires help from authorized personnel being in charge of a key to open the device which is normally locked.
  • a dispenser device having a larger range of supply, higher service continuity and less maintenance problems, in that a spot checking will be enough to replace the spare roll when the latter is already being used. In fact it is possible to simply insert the new roll through the top of the device after having opened a top lid thereof. A better grip of the paper by the user is also provided in that the user is simply required to pull on the edge protruding freely out of the dispensing slot.
  • a dispenser device according to the preamble of Claim 1 holding two paper rolls is known from DE-A-1.907.716.
  • Said dispenser includes an internal member supporting a spare roll with its upper end.
  • the internal member is fastened, in an intermediate region between two portions of the member, to a pivot shaft rotatably mounted on the housing of the dispenser and connected to manually actuated driving means for the rotation thereof.
  • Said internal member is rotated when the lower roll, disposed in the operating position, has been used up so that the spare roll may fall in said position being disengaged from the upper end of the internal member.
  • the paper towel dispensing device includes and internal member supporting the spare roll as above specified.
  • the internal member of the dispenser of this invention is suitable to correctly guide the spare roll in the operating position thanks particularly to its shape. Said member in fact is able to receive and support the spare roll from the upper position to the operating position.
  • a paper towel dispensing device using carboard core paper rolls including a housing-casing having an upper cover and a lower dispensing slot located at the position of a stationary blade on the front wall of said device, including an internal member supporting the spare roll which is fastened, at a location intermediate the two portions of the member, to a pivot shaft rotatably mounted on said housing and connected to hand-operated rotation driving means, characterized in that it is a substantially asymmetrical S-shaped cam member provided with a lower larger and an upper smaller loop, stationary guide means being also provided integral with the lower part of the housing, and adapted to cooperate with the concave side of the larger loop of said S-shaped cam member to keep a first roll in an unrolling position close to the dispensing slot, while a second spare roll is positioned on the convex side of the smaller loop of said S-shaped cam member leaning at the same time against one of the vertical walls of the housing.
  • the core thereof when the lower roll has been used up, the core thereof may be allowed to fall through the dispensing slot in order to free the lower part of the cam member which, being acted upon by said hand-operated driving means, can rotate to a position where the upper roll is no longer supported and it falls by gravity down to the position of use or unrolling from the concave side of the larger loop of the cam member, together with said lower guide means.
  • Further stationary guide and support means may possibly be provided for the upper spare roll, associated with the upper part of the S-shaped cam member, and integral with the housing, and abutment means can also be provided integral with the front convex portion of the cam member, corresponding to the larger loop, to stop the rotation of the latter at a predetermined distance apart from the front wall of the device.
  • the dispensing device includes a housing-casing 1, preferably of a plastic material endowing a certain mechanical strength, possibly provided with known means 2, 2′ on the back side for fastening to a support wall.
  • a lid 3 pivoted at 4 on the back wall.
  • the lower side of the device is provided with a dispensing slot 5 defined by a shaped wall member 7 integral with the back wall, and a saw-like blade 6 integral with the device front wall.
  • a dispensing slot 5 defined by a shaped wall member 7 integral with the back wall, and a saw-like blade 6 integral with the device front wall.
  • a member 8 inside casing 1 there is mounted a member 8, whose width is slightly smaller than the distance between the side walls, and having a non-symmetrical S shape, with two portions 8a and 8b whose size and curvature are different.
  • member 8 is fastened to a horizontal pivot shaft 9, parallel to the axes of two paper rolls 20, 20′ which rolls are stiffened by a conventional core 21 and are contained in the device, said pivot shaft being rotatably supported, at both their ends, by support means integral with both side walls of the device.
  • Said rotation operating means are located inside housing 1 and in particular they comprise a plastic material sector member 12, having a substantially trapezoidal shape with curved opposite bases, wherein at the wider base there is provided an opening 12a adapted for insertion of a user's finger in order to rotate sector member 12.
  • Sector member 12 is located close to a contacting position relative to the inner surface of housing 1, as it can be seen in particular from Figure 1 and, on said wall, there is provided a curved slot 13 having a substantially semicircular shape, which allows sector member 12 to be operated, a first time, through a rotation according to arrow L when spare roll 20′ has to be brought from the position of spare shown at Figures 1, 2 and 3, to the dispensing position shown with a chain line in Figure 4.
  • S-shaped member 8 normally has smaller portion 8a thereof above pivot shaft 9, with the concave side thereof facing towards the device front wall, while larger portion 8b is located below pivot shaft 9 with the convex side thereof facing towards the device front wall wherefrom it is kept spaced apart by means of a spacer member 11 integral with said wall 8b.
  • said roll leans on one side against the lower end portion of portion 8b and on the opposite side against stationary shaped wall member 7, and in particular against downward sloping portion 7b thereof, whereby it is always located close to dispensing slot 5 until the paper has been completely used up, as it is shown in Figure 3.
  • the user unrolls paper 10 from roll 20, while in the device upper portion, second roll 20′ which has been inserted into the device by opening lid 3, waits in a spare position being supported between the back wall of housing 1 and portion 8a of member 8.
  • a possible unintentional or intentional operation of sector member 12 is prevented by roll 20 pushing against vertical wall 7a of the shaped wall member 7 or, in any case, all the way to small diameters of roll 20, by the resistance of said roll to be displaced in particular through counterclockwise rotations of the lower edge of member 8.
  • vertical section 7a of shaped wall member 7 is provided with an upper convex portion 7d preventing core 21 from moving upwards as it might happen in case of an unintentional and violent action exerted on member 8.
  • the risk would be that core 21 goes to position itself inside portion 8b of member 8 thereby severely hindering the operation of bringing spare roll 20′ to the dispensing position.
  • This would even jeopardize the whole dispenser operation in that, as it is apparent, core 21 in such a position would prevent roll 20′, from assuming a correct dispensing position and, at the same time, it would prevent said roll from rotating.
  • core 21 ends up in the position shown in dashed line, in the region where side 7b of shaped wall member 7 converges with side 7a coming down from portion 7d.
  • sector member 12 is operated through a counterclockwise rotation (arrow L of Figure 4), in order to overcome the last remaining obstacle which is the force exerted on portion 8a by the weight of spare roll 20′, upper portion 8a is first moved back, as it is shown by full lines in Figure 4, whereby roll 20′ does not find a sufficient support any longer and drops by gravity until it meets the concave portion of portion 8b whose radius of curvature is chosen in such a way as to coincide, at least in part, with that of a new roll to be used. If sector member 12 is eventually brought to the starting position thereof, member 8 and roll 20′ get to the position shown in chain line in Figure 4, corresponding substantially to the position of Figure 2 for the previous roll which has been used up. At this point, a new spare roll can be inserted through the top to ensure a satisfactory operating range for the device.
  • shaped wall member 7 besides vertical section 7a and downward sloping part 7b, is further provided with a second upper part 7c, which is sloping down as well, which reduces the impact of falling roll 20′ and guides it in a better way towards the operational position thereof, close to dispensing slot 5. It should also be noted that other shaped members may be provided (although not shown in the drawing) in the upper inside region of the device, to cooperate with portion 8a in supporting roll 20′ in a spare position.
  • said driving means comprise a suitably shaped plate 30 which is integrally fastened at a lower portion and at a vertical side thereof, with a part of the upper end of portion 8b, and to portion 8a, respectively.
  • the fastening of plate 30 to the areas of member 8 mentioned above may be obtained in any know way.
  • Plate 30 is provided, close to the end of portion 8a, with a recess 32 which can be reached by the user through a slot 34, having a function similar to slot 13 of the first embodiment of the driving means.
  • Having provided recess 32 instead of a through opening 30 is only for safety reasons but, as it is apparent, in this case as well a through opening can instead be provided on plate 30.
  • pivot shaft 9 driving means While the features and function of unsymmetrical S-shaped member 8 and of shaped wall member 7 remain unchanged.
  • the driving means comprise a substantially L-shaped lever 15 which, as it is apparent in particular from Figure 7, is fastened at one end thereof to a central position of portion 8a of member 8, immediately below pivot shaft 9.
  • Operating lever 15 is mounted in such a way that an arm 17 thereof lies substantially at right angles to the front face of housing 1 protruding out of the latter through an opening 18a provided through a recessed portion 18 of said front face.
  • a second arm 16 of operating lever 15 Inside recessed portion 18 there is provided a second arm 16 of operating lever 15, the latter arm extending vertically to a height which leaves a limited room between the free end of said lever and the top side of said recessed portion 18.
  • Figure 9 there is shown a further embodiment of the dispensing device according to this invention, which can identically include, as pivot shaft 9 rotation driving means, and thereby member 8 rotation driving means, sector member 12, plate 30 or operating lever 15.
  • Figure 9 is absolutely schematic, and it has been reported only to show how unsymmetrical S-shaped member 8 may also be located at the back wall of housing 1.
  • member 8 is now located on the right instead of on the left, in a perfectly symmetrical position relative to the one shown in Figures 1 through 8.
  • member 8 is made completely stiff by providing uniformly spaced stiffening ribs on the surface thereof which never comes into contact with paper rolls 20, 20′. Therefore, the ribbed surface will be the concave side of portion 8a and the convex side of portion 8b.
  • member 8 just described provides a long service life of this member, considering the fact that it is used by the public and therefore it is subjected to varying degrees of stress according to the user, the stress being often non disregardable.
  • the upper part thereof is stiff, while the lower end of portion 8b, which comes into contact with roll 20 in a dispensing position is made in such a way as to provide a certain flexibility whereby it can yield to a certain degree.
  • the latter embodiment improves the paper unrolling conditions and the rotation of roll 20, providing also for an easier withdrawal of core 21 when it has to be taken out of the dispensing device.
  • housing-casing of the device can be of any suitable body design, and the guide shapes integral therewith may possibly be directly comprised of suitably shaped parts of the body itself.
  • a further modification which has to be considered as an equivalent solution may be the one where sector member 12 is mounted outside housing 1, received in a suitable recess of said housing, as it has already been provided for the vertical leg of operation lever 15.
