Definitions

  • the invention relates to an apparatus for dispensing wiping materials stored in a roll or folded in a Z shape and delivered in the form of bands folded in accordion.
  • the object of the invention relates to the technical sector of the means of distribution of wiping materials of the paper, wadding, nonwoven and other type.
  • the apparatus is equipped with a damping device, the active part of which is arranged to act on the tension of the strip between the storage point of the roll and the means of return and conformation, and automatically form after each distribution of the folded strip, by pulling on the overflowing strip and by rotating the roll of material, a loop of unwound material which will be absorbed during the pull on the next strip, avoiding thus any unexpected rupture of the material delivered by sudden tension.
  • the amor device weaver consists of a hoop articulated on the fixed walls of the device and resiliently biased against the roller support; said hoop having on its transverse part a means of returning the unwound strip facilitating the sliding and the formation of the loop during manual traction on the overflowing strip.
  • Another characteristic is that in order to more precisely control the size of the loop formed by the damping device, the roll of material is rotatably mounted on its support.
  • the roller support which is secured to a part of the device articulated on the part for fixing to a use surface, is constituted by two lateral end pieces which can be engaged in the mandrel of the roller by lateral movement with regard to two axes fixed to the walls of the articulated part, against suitably calibrated coil springs to ensure the desired braking of the roller.
  • the upper face of the articulated part receiving in its middle part the return means has on either side of said means, an arcuate shape extending laterally and downwards then a ramp rising substantially at the level of the middle part; the upper face being convexly profiled at least at the level of the ramps to improve the sliding of the strip thus guided and shaped.
  • said projections are fixed in an adjustable manner in height relative to their support, so as to be always as close as possible to the drive means, or else they are interchangeable in order to adapt their position relative to the diameter of the toothed drive pairs, or they are self-orientable to facilitate the passage of the strip of material, or else they are made of flexible and deformable material in solid or cellular form.
  • the closure cover of the device covering both the fixed and articulated parts is arranged directly or in an attached manner to receive and guide the stack, or else a pivoting and interchangeable tray is subject to side walls of the articulated part, or alternatively the packaging of the battery is intended to be housed between the closure cover and the articulated part.
  • the apparatus illustrated in FIG. 1 is of the type corresponding to that of applications 8805939 and 8807823, that is to say that it is essentially formed by a part (A) for fixing to any surface, a part (B) articulated at its lower end with respect to part (A) and a closure cover (C) also articulated to part (A), for example, on the same axes (M).
  • the part (A) is arranged at its lower part to receive the device (D) for driving and cutting the folded material which is preferably assembled in the form of an interchangeable cassette, in particular for proposing different lengths of the cut materials .
  • the part (A) Near its upper end, the part (A) carries elongated protrusions (E) spaced and converging towards each other in the lower part, while similar protrusions (G) are established in the same way on the part ( B) to authorize the folding in accordion of the unrolled strip passing between these interpenetrating projections.
  • the part (B) carries a tape return member, which may be constituted by a crazy barrel-shaped axis (H) to center and preform the unrolled strip.
  • the part (B) At its lower end, the part (B) is notched in the center to allow passage to a roller (J) facilitating the sliding of the folded strip engaged between toothed wheels (K) for driving the strip in rotation.
  • the upper face (1) of the part (B) has on either side of the return member (H) an arcuate shape (1a) s' extending laterally and downwards then a ramp (1b) rising substantially at the level of the member (H) thus constituting a guide for the unrolled strip.
  • the sectional profile of said upper face is convex at least at the level of the ramps.
  • the device is equipped with a shock absorbing device (N) preventing the unexpected rupture of the wiping material during brutal manual pulls.
  • a hoop (2) articulated by its lateral branches (2a) on the end walls (A1) of the part (A), preferably on the axes (M).
  • the transverse branch (2b) carries at least in its middle part a rotary shaft (3) for returning the unwound strip from its storage roller (R) in the direction of loading indicated.
  • This tree can be cylindrical or barrel-shaped, like the member (H).
  • the hoop is subjected to the action of two springs (4) attached to the side walls (B1) of the part (B) to keep it applied against the mounting axes of the roll of material.
  • the two side walls (B1) carry an axis (5) on which can slide and turn a stepped end piece (6) for mounting and centering the mandrel (R1) of the roller.
  • a properly calibrated coil spring (7) is interposed between the wall (B1) and the shoulder of the end piece to slow down the unwinding of the roll and to allow rapid and easy mounting of said roll by pushing on the end pieces.
  • the projections E and G
  • they can be fixed so that they can be easily interchangeable so that they are always arranged as close as possible to the drive means. All the projections except the ends, can be fixed in a self-orientable manner with a limited oscillation to facilitate the passage of the material. They can also be made of a flexible and deformable material and in a solid or honeycomb form.
  • the closing cover (C) can directly or in a reported manner, present lateral guides (C1) and possibly lower supports (C2) of the stack (P) which will be put in place horizontally by tilting the hood forward.
  • a tray (8) is hinged on the axes (M) to also receive by tilting before, the stack (P) on a bottom (Ba) and against a front wall (8b).
  • FIG. 6 provision has simply been made to accommodate between the cover (C) for closure and the articulated part (B) a package (9) containing the stack of material folded in Z.
