Definitions

  • the invention relates to a paper towel dispenser with central unwinding.
  • the object of the invention relates to the technical sector of the means for distributing the length of materials wound in reels.
  • the invention applies to dispensers of paper, wadding and similar wiping materials.
  • the devices include a one-piece body or not with a support plate for a reel of paper towels.
  • the tray is arranged with a central opening allowing passage and exit by internal reeling during the pulling action by a user.
  • a cover generally made of plastic covers and protects the coil by fitting and fixing in any suitable manner on the periphery of the plate.
  • This body in its lower part after the opening zone has a cutting means with a fixed position which allows, after angular orientation of the paper strip, to cut away said paper strip by tearing.
  • This type of low-cost distributor is widely used in industry, and in the centers for the maintenance and repair of all products, machines, cars and others.
  • the paper strip is unwound from the inside of the spool under the pulling effect and develops by forming a sort of helical envelope, the spool remaining in a fixed position.
  • the twist is important and therefore results in a cutting of strips of paper drawn which is not regular and not very aesthetic.
  • the drawn paper is cut at a bevel at around 45 ° due to the presentation of the paper during its helical unwinding inside the spool. This drawback is important although in the context of using these devices, users are not necessarily attached to the search for an aesthetic and a perfect cut of the paper.
  • Another drawback lies in the fact that the tearing of the paper under the pulling effect can be carried out in advance.
  • the object of the invention was therefore to remedy these drawbacks and thus improve the condition of the central unwinding of the reel. Another object was also to improve the aesthetic appearance of the pulled and torn strip.
  • the paper towel dispenser with central unwinding is of the type comprising a body capable of being fixed against a support plane, said body being arranged to receive a reel-holder plate disposed vertically, said plate having a central opening for the passage of the pulled paper strip, a profiled protective casing being adapted and removably positioned on the body, said dispenser being characterized in that the tray is arranged around its central opening with a chimney shape going up inside the body; said chimney having the function of straightening the paper previously put in a helix and crumpled during the inner unwinding of the reel.
  • the plate is fitted with means ensuring self-centering of the coil.
  • the paper dispensing apparatus with central dispensing thus comprises, in a known manner, a body (1) of generally cylindrical shape to adapt and conform to the shapes of the paper reel.
  • This body (1) has a heel at a location on its periphery (1.1) profile capable of being fixed in any suitable manner on a sole (2) bearing against a wall or other supports according to the terms of use.
  • This body is arranged directly or in an attached manner to receive a plate (3) circular coil holder (4), said coil being arranged vertically.
  • a profiled protective casing (5) is adapted and positioned on the body in order to protect the coil and incidentally give an aesthetic appearance to the device.
  • the connection of the casing to the body is carried out for example by simple removable fitting, as illustrated in FIG.
  • This body also has at its base a horizontal profile (5.2) partial profile arranged in its middle part with a V-shaped slot (5.3) arranged opposite the central opening (3.1) on the plate allowing the passage and unwinding of the strip drawn and unwound internally from the reel with a helical twist effect.
  • a fixed position cutting means (6) On said horizontal plane and around the slot is arranged a fixed position cutting means (6).
  • This cutting means thus comprises a passage opening with serrated edges (6.1) or not extending into a cavity (6.2) serrated or having a similar cutting edge to allow the tearing and tearing of the pulled paper.
  • the paper dispenser with central unwinding aims to better control the unwinding and unwinding of the pulled paper by limiting its wrinkling effect on itself during its helical unwinding under the pulling effect by the user by improving the presentation of the cutting part.
  • the plate (3) is arranged directly or in a fitted manner around its central opening (3.1) for the passage of the paper with a chimney shape (3.2) rising inside the body (1) over a certain height.
  • This chimney (3.2) has a cylindrical or conical outer profile (3.3) to facilitate the guiding of the paper. Its upper border (3.4) is rounded to facilitate the passage and the introduction of the paper strip inside said chimney.
  • it has the function of straightening the paper and thus allowing a sharper, more regular cutting and in a plane substantially perpendicular to the direction of travel of the strip.
  • This straightening chimney can be of greater or lesser height. It can advantageously be in one piece with the plate, for example being made of plastic.
  • the helical twisting effect of the paper and its crumpling is therefore attenuated in its amplitude by the passage of the paper in the straightening chimney towards the cutting zone in order to obtain the aforementioned effects.
  • the straightening chimney can either be mounted with the plate as indicated above or placed on the aforementioned cutting device.
  • the upper base of the plate is fitted directly or in an attached manner with means capable of ensuring self-centering of the coil and preventing its rotation.
  • the plate 3 is thus arranged with a plurality of concentric zones (3.5) arranged with asperities to maintain the coil in the center of the plate.
  • the plate receives one or more strips (3.6) arranged radially, and arranged with asperities of restraint. These asperities can be obtained from hook-and-loop strips, or emery paper or the like.
  • the invention is particularly interesting by the advantages which it provides.
  • its cost of implementation is low. Due to the shape of the plate (3), which can be removable with respect to the receiving body, the invention can be used both by new distributors or already in service. The simplicity of the invention is also underlined.
