Description

L'invention a pour objet un distributeur de papier essuie-mains à dévidage central.The invention relates to a paper towel dispenser with central unwinding.

L'objet de l'invention se rattache au secteur technique des moyens de distribution de longueur de matériaux enroulés en bobines.The object of the invention relates to the technical sector of the means for distributing the length of materials wound in reels.

Notamment l'invention s'applique aux distributeurs de papier, ouate et matériaux similaires d'essuyage.In particular, the invention applies to dispensers of paper, wadding and similar wiping materials.

On connait des appareils distributeurs de papier essuie-mains à dévidage central. Les appareils comprennent un corps monobloc ou non avec un plateau support d'une bobine de papier essuie-mains. Le plateau est agencé avec une ouverture centrale autorisant le passage et la sortie par dévidage interne lors de l'action de tirage par un utilisateur. Un couvercle généralement en matière plastique recouvre et protège la bobine en venant s'agencer et se fixer de toute manière appropriée sur la périphérie du plateau. Ce corps dans sa partie inférieure après la zone d'ouverture présente un moyen de coupe à position fixe qui permet après orientation angulaire de la bande de papier de sectionner par arrachement ladite bande de papier. Ce type de distributeur de faible coût est très largement utilisé en milieu industriel, et dans les centres d'entretien et de réparation de tous produits, machines, automobiles et autres. La bande de papier se déroule par l'intérieur de la bobine sous l'effet de tirage et se développe en formant en quelque sorte une enveloppe en hélice, la bobine restant à position fixe.There are known paper towel dispensing machines with central dispensing. 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 dispenser 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.

On connait par le document EP-A-107487, qui correspond au préambule de la revendication 1, un distributeur de papier essuie-mains présentant les caractéristiques précitéesDocument EP-A-107487, which corresponds to the preamble of claim 1, discloses a paper towel dispenser having the above characteristics

En fait et en pratique de tels distributeurs présentent plusieurs inconvénients importants inhérents à leurs conditions d'utilisation.In fact and in practice such dispensers have several significant drawbacks inherent in their conditions of use.

Tout d'abord, le vrillage est important et entraine de ce fait une découpe de bandes de papier tirées peu régulière et peu esthétique. Le papier tiré est coupé en biseau à 45° environ de par la présentation du papier lors de son déroulement en hélice à l'intérieur de la bobine. Cet inconvénient est important bien que dans le cadre d'utilisation de ces appareils, les utilisateurs ne soient pas forcément attachés à la recherche d'un esthétique et d'une découpe parfaite du papier.First of all, 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 ° by 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.

Un autre inconvénient réside dans le fait que la déchirure du papier sous l'effet de traction puisse s'effectuer par anticipation.Another disadvantage lies in the fact that the tearing of the paper under the pulling effect can be carried out in advance.

Un des buts de l'invention était donc de remédier à ces inconvénients et d'améliorer ainsi la condition du dévidage central de la bobine. Un autre but était également d'améliorer l'aspect esthétique de la bande tirée et déchirée.One of the aims of the invention was therefore to remedy these drawbacks and thus improve the condition of the central unwinding of the reel. Another aim was also to improve the aesthetic appearance of the pulled and torn strip.

Ces buts et d'autres encore ressortiront bien de la suite de la description.These and other objects will become apparent from the following description.

A cet effet, l'invention a pour objet un distributeur de papier essuie-mains à dévidage central du type comprenant un corps susceptible d'être fixé contre un plan d'appui, ledit corps étant agencé pour recevoir un plateau porte-bobine, ladite bobine étant disposé verticalement, ledit plateau présentant une ouverture centrale pour le passage de la bande de papier tirée, un carter de protection profilé étant adapté et positionné de manière amovible sur le corps, ledit distributeur étant caractérisé en ce que le plateau est agencé autour de son ouverture centrale avec une forme en cheminée remontant à l'intérieur de la bobine ; ladite cheminée ayant pour fonction le redressage du papier préalablement mis en hélice et froissé lors du dévidage intérieur de la bobine.To this end, the subject of the invention is a paper towel dispenser with central unwinding of the type comprising a body capable of being fixed against a support plane, said body being arranged to receive a reel holder tray, said reel being arranged vertically, said tray having a central opening for the passage of the pulled strip of paper, 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 coil; said chimney having the function of straightening the paper previously put in a helix and crumpled during the inner unwinding of the reel.

Selon une caractéristique avantageuse, le plateau est aménagé avec des moyens assurant un auto-centrage de la bobine.According to an advantageous characteristic, the plate is fitted with means ensuring self-centering of the coil.

Ces caractéristiques et d'autres encore ressortiront bien de la suite de la description.These characteristics and others will become apparent from the following description.

Afin de rendre plus concret l'objet de l'invention, on le décrit maintenant d'une manière non limitative illustrée aux figures des dessins.In order to make the object of the invention more concrete, it is now described in a nonlimiting manner illustrated in the figures of the drawings.

L'appareil distributeur de papier à dévidage central comprend ainsi de manière connue un corps (1) de forme généralement cylindrique pour s'adapter et épouser les formes de la bobine de papier. Ce corps (1) présente à un endroit de sa périphérie un talon (1.1) profilé susceptible de venir se fixer de toute manière appropriée sur une semelle (2) d'appui contre une paroi de mur ou autres supports selon les modalités d'utilisation. Ce corps est agencé directement ou de manière rapportée pour recevoir un plateau (3) circulaire porte bobine (4), ladite bobine étant disposée verticalement. Un carter (5) de protection profilé vient s'adapter et se positionner sur le corps afin de protéger la bobine et conférer accessoirement un aspect esthétique à l'appareil. La liaison du carter sur le corps s'effectue par exemple par simple emboitage amovible, comme illustré figure 2,de la partie d'extrémité inférieure du carter laquelle présente un déport intérieur périphérique (5.1) à cet effet. Ce corps présente par ailleurs à sa base un plan horizontal (5.2) profilé partiel aménagé dans sa partie médiane avec une fente (5.3) profilée en V disposée en regard de l'ouverture centrale (3.1) sur le plateau autorisant le passage et déroulement de la bande tirée et dévidée intérieurement de la bobine avec un effet de vrillage en hélice. Sur ledit plan horizontal et autour de la fente est disposé un moyen de coupe à position fixe (6). Ce moyen de coupe comprend ainsi une ouverture de passage à bords dentelés (6.1) ou non se prolongeant dans une cavité (6.2) dentelée ou présentant une arête de coupe similaire pour autoriser la déchirage et arrachage du papier tiré.The central dispensing paper dispensing apparatus thus comprises, in a known manner, a body (1) of generally cylindrical shape to adapt to and conform to the shapes of the paper reel. This body (1) has a heel at a location on its periphery (1.1) section 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 reel holder (4), said coil being arranged vertically. A profiled protective casing (5) comes to be 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 effected, for example, by simple removable fitting, as illustrated in FIG. 2, of the lower end part of the casing which has a peripheral internal offset (5.1) for this purpose. This body also has at its base a horizontal profile (5.2) partial profile arranged in its middle part with a slot (5.3) V-shaped 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. 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.

Selon l'invention, le distributeur de papier à dévidage central a pour but de mieux maitriser le déroulement et dévidage du papier tiré en limitant son effet de froissement sur lui-même lors de son déroulement en hélice sous l'effet de tirage par l'utilisateur en améliorant la présentation de la partie de coupe.According to the invention, 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.

A cet effet, le plateau (3) est agencé directement ou de manière rapportée autour de son ouverture centrale (3.1) de passage du papier avec une forme en cheminée (3.2) remontant à l'intérieur du corps (1) sur une certaine hauteur. Cette cheminée (3.2) présente un profil extérieur cylindrique ou conique (3.3) pour faciliter le guidage du papier. Sa bordure supérieure (3.4) est arrondie pour faciliter le passage et l'introduction de la bande de papier à l'intérieur de ladite cheminée. Ainsi et selon l'invention, celle-ci a pour fonction de redresser le papier et permettre ainsi une découpe plus nette, plus régulière et dans un plan sensiblement perpendiculaire au sens de défilement de la bande.To this end, 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. Thus and according to the invention, 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.

Cette cheminée de redressage peut être de plus ou moins grande hauteur. Elle peut être avantageusement monobloc avec le plateau en étant par exemple réalisée en matière plastique. L'effet de vrillage en hélice du papier et de son froissage est donc attenué dans son amplitude par le passage du papier dans la cheminée de redressage vers la zone de coupe pour l'obtention des effets précités.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.

La cheminée de redressage peut être soit montée avec le plateau comme indiqué précédemment soit placée sur le dispositif de coupe précité.The straightening chimney can either be mounted with the plate as indicated above or placed on the aforementioned cutting device.

Selon une autre disposition avantageuse, la base supérieure du plateau est aménagée directement ou de manière rapportée avec des moyens susceptibles d'assurer un auto-centrage de la bobine et éviter sa rotation.According to another advantageous arrangement, 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.

Selon les figures 2 et 3, le plateau 3 est ainsi aménagé avec une pluralité de zones concentriques (3.5) agencée avec des aspérités pour maintenir la bobine au centre du plateau. Selon la figure 5, le plateau reçoit une ou plusieurs bandes (3.6) disposées radialement, et agencées avec des aspérités de retenue. Ces asperités peuvent être obtenues à partir de bandes auto-agrippantes, ou papier émeri ou autres.According to Figures 2 and 3, 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. According to Figure 5, the plate receives one or more bands (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.

Ainsi l'invention est particulièrement intéressante par les avantages qu'elle procure. En outre, son coût de mise en oeuvre est faible. De par la conformation du plateau (3), qui peut être amovible par rapport au corps de réception, l'invention peut être utilisée aussi bien par des distributeurs neufs ou déjà en service. On souligne par ailleurs la simplicité de l'invention.Thus the invention is particularly interesting by the advantages which it provides. In addition, its cost of implementation is low. Due to the shape of the plate (3), which can be removable relative 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.
