Definitions
- the object of the invention relates to the technical sector of devices for distributing lengths of material wound on reels.
- the invention applies to devices for dispensing paper, wadding and similar wiping materials.
- the Applicant has created and developed various distributing and cutting devices which are widely used.
- These devices are not limited to the type according to which the roll of material in service is mounted to rotate freely on a support, by being applied under pressure directly to a drum with non-slip surface, so that by simple manual traction on the strip of material overflowing under the device, a strip is distributed and automatically cut, the length of which is substantially equal to the circumference of the drum.
- This cutting is carried out by a serrated cutting device associated with the drum and protruding from the drum when it is rotated by traction on the material, so as to penetrate the material thus stretched on either side of the cutting device.
- the launched drum After cutting, the launched drum returns to its initial position through the action of different complementary members and a new strip of material overflows from the device.
- a device has been described in particular in French Patent 2,332,215 and its Certificate of Addition 2,340,887. Improvements have been described in European Patent 157,713 and in French Patent Applications 85.19447, 85.02873, 86.18497, 87.14068 in the name of the Applicant.
- this type of device mainly comprises, from a casing (not shown), a base plate (A) for wall mounting with wings (A1 - A2) receiving a drum (B ) in which is articulated at the side walls, a cutting blade holder (C) which is connected to means external to the drum to be controlled for cutting during the rotation of the latter.
- a roller (F) of wiping material is mounted on a support bracket (G) articulated on the base plate and held resiliently in contact with the drum, the periphery of which is arranged to prevent slipping during traction on the overflowing strip. (F1).
- the drum (B) is rotated and the cutting blade holder (C) associated with the control means, describes a curved path which makes it pass from a retracted position in the drum to an exit position (by a radial slot (B1) of the drum) where the serrated blade which is inclined in two orthogonal directions, can progressively penetrate the material stretched on both sides 'other and thus detach a strip of length corresponding to the diameter and therefore the circumference of the drum by the combined action of penetration and rotation.
- the drum which is connected on one side to an eccentric and spring lever mechanism, must return to the initial or armed position with a new strip of material overflowing under the ready device to be drawn, and with no possibility of going back.
- a part (J) called a parachute is freely articulated around a bearing secured to a wing of the base plate.
- This parachute carries at its upper part and opposite the drum, a pawl (L) articulated elastically at (L1) to be constantly applied at its free end to a stop (J1) of the parachute.
- the wall of the drum carries, near its periphery, a projection (B2) which is positioned and profiled to pass above the stop (J1) and raise the pawl (L) when, after cutting the material, the drum is launched by the eccentric lever. As soon as the projection (B2) has escaped the pawl, the latter falls back into abutment on the stop (J1).
- provision has been made to keep this movable stopper in the high position, despite its natural tendency to fall back when the drum approaches the zone where it must stop. so that said stop is pressed against the stop (J1) of the parachute which then oscillates against a spring (N) before returning by a projection (J2) in abutment against a stopper (A3) of the 'wing (A2).
- a ramp (J3) judiciously oriented, dimensioned and associated with the parachute to force the movable stop to go up, or a lever freely articulated inside the drum in a point substantially diametrically opposite the point of articulation of the movable stop and suitably sized to be naturally under said movable stop, thereby retaining it in the high position so that it ensures the stop of the drum, when the drum is at the end stroke, while said lever retracts automatically under the effect of the movable stop rising when it comes into contact with the stop (J1), thereby allowing the movable stop (M) to return by gravity to the low position for reset the device.
- a ramp (J3) judiciously oriented, dimensioned and associated with the parachute to force the movable stop to go up
- a lever freely articulated inside the drum in a point substantially diametrically opposite the point of articulation of the movable stop and suitably sized to be naturally under said movable stop, thereby retaining it in the high
- This type of device gives users complete satisfaction, in particular by its simplicity of use and its reliability.
- This device is suitable for dispensing lengths of predetermined cut material strips.
- the diameter and therefore the circumference of the drum is established to allow the development of a strip length.
- the conditions of use of the device taking into account the specific characteristics of the drum, only allow it to constantly distribute strips of material at predetermined lengths.
- the device there is no possibility of varying the dimensions of the cut lengths of tape as required.
- wiping paper dispensing device More generally, all the types of wiping paper dispensing device known to date are in no way designed and adapted to allow variable and programmed distribution of different lengths of material strip and variable in length.
- the aim sought after according to the invention was therefore to research and design a dispensing device which can be adapted as required for cutting strips of material of variable lengths. From this aim, it was therefore necessary to design an apparatus capable of implementing such a concept, under inexpensive manufacturing conditions, and of use and handling very simple to implement and reliable for the operator.
- the Applicant turned to the study and the arrangement of the drum of the apparatus while seeking a solution and an arrangement adapted to respond satisfactorily to the problem posed.
- the solution found is suitable for all types of dispensing devices.
- the apparatus for simultaneously distributing and cutting wound material bands is remarkable in that the drum is arranged with at least two slots for receiving and allowing the movement of at least two devices. closely associated cutting elements which can be actuated successively to allow the partial overflow of their associated cutting blade, said cutting devices being moved according to a predetermined cycle from the guidance of a profiled cam mounted on the axis of the drum, and in that the blade-holder devices and the drum being arranged with means allowing one of the blades to be retracted inside the drum to make it passive, and thus define lengths of strips of material to be cut variable as required, according to the number of cutting blades likely to intervene during rotation on one revolution of the drum.
- Figure 1 is a side view of the material distribution and cutting apparatus according to the invention, seen from one side.
- Figure 2 is a view of the apparatus according to Figure 1, seen from the other side.
- Figure 3 is a sectional view of the drum arranged according to the invention.
- FIG. 4 is a view with partial section of the drum along line 4-4 of FIG. 3.
- FIG. 5 is a partial view showing the device for retracting the counterweight.
- Figure 6 is a partial view showing the retracting device of one of the cutting blades.
- Figures 7 and 8 are alternative views showing the use of a single control ensuring the retraction of the cutting blade and its guide means associated with the parachute.
- the drum (B) of the device is thus arranged to receive several cutting devices capable of intervening successively during the rotation of the drum as a result of a pulling effect on the free end of the strip. of material drawn.
- the cutting devices can act successively during the same turn of the drum, thus making it possible, in a single rotation of the drum, to cut several lengths of strip of material at reduced lengths.
- At least one cutting device is capable of being retracted inside the drum thanks to the use of specific means arranged and disposed both on the drum and on the corresponding blade holder of the cutting device. chopped off.
- the retraction action of one of the cutting devices makes it possible to suppress a cutting action, so that only the cutting device remaining active is capable of cutting, during the rotation of the drum, lengths of larger band and can thus correspond to the involute of the periphery of the aforementioned drum.
- the hollow drum (B) internally is arranged to receive two cutting devices (C1 and C2) closely associated with each other arranged in opposition inside the drum, and capable of being actuated successively to allow alternatively the partial overflow of their associated cutting blade.
- Each cutting device comprises in known manner a blade holder (C) receiving a serrated blade (1), said blade holder having at its base a rod (2) or bar passing through the drum (B) being suitably guided, l 'one end of the articulation bar of the blade holders receives a guide roller (3) capable of cooperating with a profiled cam (4) mounted on the axis of the drum.
- This fixed cam (4) is arranged with a specific profile adapted to allow the successive and continuous actuation of the two blade holders (C1 - C2), and in fact the production of two cuts. It must be considered beforehand that each roller associated with a blade holder is in continuous and regular contact with the cam, the two rollers being simply placed at different places on the cam, according to a continuous path, their position being established to correspond to the successive actuation of each blade and associated blade holder to penetrate the successively drawn strips of paper.
- This cam (4) thus has a profile comprising the following zones:
- This zone hinge extends in its upper part with a flared shape forming a hollow (4.2), oriented internally in the cam capable of forming a hollow and forming a seat for the reception of successive rollers (3).
- the cutting blade gradually enters the paper strip.
- This hollow shape (4.2) is then extended by a third zone having a broad curvilinear and flared profile (4.3) corresponding to the finish of the cut as it appears in the drawings, located opposite the zone (4.1). , then the cam has a rectilinear profile (4.4) making it possible to join the aforementioned zones (4.3 and 4.1).
- the insertion into the drum of the two aforementioned cutting devices thus makes it possible to generate, from the rotation of the drum on a single turn, the actuation of said cutting devices and thus the production of two sections of strips of material.
- the drum thus comprises two diametrically opposite slots for the passage of the cutting blades and, on the other hand, and advantageously, it is arranged on their peripheral periphery two zones rough (5) constituted by pieces of EMERI canvas or similar, likely to be in contact with the service roll for dispensing strips of paper ensuring perfect hold of the latter.
- each of the half-parts of the drum has an involute corresponding to the length of the strip of cut material of reduced dimensions such as for example 23 cm.
- a first variant illustrated in FIGS. 5 and 6 describes the use of two separate controls capable of acting, on the one hand, on the cutting device itself and, on the other hand, for the purpose of separation of the latter relative to the stop members of the cutting device in the drum.
- one of the cutting devices (C1) for example comprises, on its blade-holding part (C) a support means (10) of a mobile element (11) whose end (11.1 ) is associated with the roller (3.1) capable of traversing the cam path (4) authorizing the displacement of the blade inside the drum and its exit to ensure the cutting of the strip of material.
- the mobile element (11) is arranged to receive a support (12) profiled forming a seat for receiving a member (13) mounted with controlled movement inside the drum.
- the drum receives internally near one of its sides, directly formed with the drum or in an attached manner, a plate (13.1) forming a cube, for example capable of receiving limited fixing and articulation, the end d '' a flexible member (13.2) of great length, and the end (13.3) of which is liable to partially overflow in a profiled notch (14) formed in the opposite peripheral part of the drum.
- the flexible member is mounted on an axis (15) on the aforementioned plate (13.1), a screw (15.1) ensuring the holding of the member on the plate.
- This flexible rod member can thus, by its flexibility, be moved substantially in a first plane, and by its mounting can be moved laterally in a second plane.
- this flexible member its inner part in the drum and near the end, is profiled to engage in the support forming a yoke (12) mounted on the cutting device.
- the support means (10) is established in the form of a profiled metal plate with two wings (10.1 - 10.2), arranged in the direction of the length of the cutting blade. Between the wings, the movable element (11) is introduced and guided. The support forming a yoke (12) is mounted and introduced on the movable element. As indicated previously, one of the ends (11.1) of the movable element receives the roller (3.1) which thus comes into external abutment against one of the wings (10.1) of the support (10). At its other end, the mobile element (11) receives a ring (16) capable of abutting from the outside against the other wing (10.2).
- the notch (14) thus allows the partial overflow of the member (12).
- This notch has an oblong profiled shape with, at its ends, two recesses (14.1 - 14.2) capable of receiving the end of the member (12).
- the orientation of the oblong lumen is arranged transversely to the drum.
- the drum is arranged at its other end corresponding to the driving and stopping of the retractable cutting device with complementary means also making it possible to control the rotation of the drum over a half-turn or its complete rotation.
- This arrangement is illustrated in Figure 5 where we see that the drum is arranged at its end in the same plane with another profiled notch (18) arranged with two projections (18.1 - 18.2).
- the lateral flange of the drum receives a finger (19) on which an L-shaped arm (20) can slide, one end (20.1) of which penetrates and projects beyond the flange of the aforementioned drum, said arm forming a counterweight.
- the other branch of the arm receives a rod (21) capable of overflowing and penetrating into the aforementioned profiled notch (18).
- This rod is mounted with an elastic deformation capacity to allow it to slide inside the notch and its appropriate positioning.
- the action of the members (12) and (21) is carried out successively as a function of the lengths of strip of material to be cut.
- the various members and means capable of retracting the cutting device are controlled simultaneously.
- the mobile element (11) associated with the roller (3.1) and the arm (20) are connected together by two rods (23 and 24), one end of which (23.1 - 24.1 ) is associated with said members, while the other end (23.2 - 24.2) is mounted on a shaft (25) disposed in the middle part of the periphery of the drum. Said ends (23.2 - 24.2) are fixed in any suitable manner on the shaft (25).
- This shaft (25) is rotatably mounted on a ring (26) disposed inside the drum and has a head (25.1) inserted in a recess formed in the wall of the drum.
- This head can be indexed in rotation with means (27) allowing it to snap into retracting or non-retracting positions of the cutting device.
- the shaft (25) can be rotated to actuate the rods and consequently the aforementioned members by a simple rotation of a quarter turn.
- the head may have a recess allowing the insertion of the active part of a screwdriver or other means usable by the operator.
- the ends of the members ensuring the movement of the cutting blade device protrude only very appreciably from the periphery of the drum so as not to hinder the positioning of the strips of paper during their winding. on the drum.
- the invention also makes it possible to eliminate the eccentric and spring lever as used previously.

Abstract
Description
L'objet de l'invention se rattache au secteur technique des appareils de distribution de longueurs de matériau enroulées sur des bobines.The object of the invention relates to the technical sector of devices for distributing lengths of material wound on reels.
L'invention s'applique aux appareils distributeurs de papier, ouate et matériaux similaires d'essuyage.The invention applies to devices for dispensing paper, wadding and similar wiping materials.
Le Demandeur a créé et développé différents appareils distributeurs et de coupe qui font l'objet d'une large exploitation.The Applicant has created and developed various distributing and cutting devices which are widely used.
Ces appareils sont non limitativement du type selon lequel le rouleau de matériau en service est monté à rotation libre sur un support, en étant appliqué en pression directement sur un tambour à surface antiglissante, afin que par simple traction manuelle sur la bande de matériau débordant sous l'appareil, on distribue et on coupe automatiquement une bande dont la longueur est sensiblement égale à la circonférence du tambour. Cette coupe s'effectue par un dispositif de coupe dentelé associé au tambour et faisant saillie hors du tambour lorsqu'on l'entraîne en rotation par traction sur le matériau, de manière à pénétrer dans le matériau ainsi tendu de part et d'autre du dispositif de coupe.These devices are not limited to the type according to which the roll of material in service is mounted to rotate freely on a support, by being applied under pressure directly to a drum with non-slip surface, so that by simple manual traction on the strip of material overflowing under the device, a strip is distributed and automatically cut, the length of which is substantially equal to the circumference of the drum. This cutting is carried out by a serrated cutting device associated with the drum and protruding from the drum when it is rotated by traction on the material, so as to penetrate the material thus stretched on either side of the cutting device.
Après la coupe, le tambour lancé revient à sa position initiale par l'intermédiaire de l'action de différents organes complémentaires et une nouvelle bande de matériau déborde de l'appareil. Un tel appareil a été décrit notamment dans le Brevet français 2.332.215 et son Certificat d'Addition 2.340.887. Des perfectionnements ont été décrits dans le Brevet Européen 157.713 et dans les Demandes de Brevets français 85.19447, 85.02873, 86.18497, 87.14068 au nom du Déposant.After cutting, the launched drum returns to its initial position through the action of different complementary members and a new strip of material overflows from the device. Such a device has been described in particular in French Patent 2,332,215 and its Certificate of Addition 2,340,887. Improvements have been described in European Patent 157,713 and in French Patent Applications 85.19447, 85.02873, 86.18497, 87.14068 in the name of the Applicant.
On rappelle que ce type d'appareil, comme illustré, comprend principalement à partir d'un carter (non représenté) une plaque de base (A) à fixation murale avec des ailes (A1 - A2) recevant à rotation libre un tambour (B) dans lequel est articulé au niveau des parois latérales, un porte-lame de coupe (C) qui est relié à des moyens externes au tambour pour être commandé en vue de la coupe lors de la rotation de ce dernier.It will be recalled that this type of device, as illustrated, mainly comprises, from a casing (not shown), a base plate (A) for wall mounting with wings (A1 - A2) receiving a drum (B ) in which is articulated at the side walls, a cutting blade holder (C) which is connected to means external to the drum to be controlled for cutting during the rotation of the latter.
Un rouleau (F) de matériau d'essuyage est monté sur un étrier-support (G) articulé sur la plaque de base et maintenu élastiquement au contact du tambour dont la périphérie est agencée pour éviter tout glissement lors de la traction sur la bande débordante (F1). Ainsi, lorsqu'on tire sur ladite bande enroulée sur le tambour et dépassant par l'arrière, le tambour (B) est entraîné en rotation et le porte-lame de coupe (C) associé aux moyens de commande, décrit une trajectoire courbe qui le fait passer d'une position escamotée dans le tambour à une position de sortie (par une fente radiale (B1) du tambour) où la lame dentelée qui est inclinée suivant deux directions orthogonales, peut pénétrer progressivement dans le matériau tendu de part et d'autre et détacher ainsi une bande de longueur correspondant au diamètre et donc de la circonférence du tambour cela par l'action combinée de pénétration et de rotation.A roller (F) of wiping material is mounted on a support bracket (G) articulated on the base plate and held resiliently in contact with the drum, the periphery of which is arranged to prevent slipping during traction on the overflowing strip. (F1). Thus, when pulling on said strip wound on the drum and protruding from the rear, the drum (B) is rotated and the cutting blade holder (C) associated with the control means, describes a curved path which makes it pass from a retracted position in the drum to an exit position (by a radial slot (B1) of the drum) where the serrated blade which is inclined in two orthogonal directions, can progressively penetrate the material stretched on both sides 'other and thus detach a strip of length corresponding to the diameter and therefore the circumference of the drum by the combined action of penetration and rotation.
En fin de traction, lorsque la bande est détachée, le tambour qui est relié d'un côté à un mécanisme de levier à excentrique et ressort, doit se replacer en position initiale ou armée avec une nouvelle bande de matériau débordant sous l'appareil prêt à être tirée, et sans possibilité de revenir en arrière.At the end of traction, when the strip is detached, the drum which is connected on one side to an eccentric and spring lever mechanism, must return to the initial or armed position with a new strip of material overflowing under the ready device to be drawn, and with no possibility of going back.
Pour cela divers organes combinés entre eux et déjà décrits dans les Brevets précités sont associés au tambour.For this, various members combined with one another and already described in the aforementioned Patents are associated with the drum.
Notamment, une pièce (J) appelée parachute est articulée librement autour d'un palier solidaire d'une aile de la plaque de base.In particular, a part (J) called a parachute is freely articulated around a bearing secured to a wing of the base plate.
Ce parachute porte à sa partie supérieure et en regard du tambour, un cliquet (L) articulé élastiquement en (L1) pour être constamment appliqué à son extrémité libre sur une butée (J1) du parachute. La paroi du tambour porte, près de sa périphérie, une saillie (B2) qui est positionnée et profilée pour passer au-dessus de la butée (J1) et soulever le cliquet (L) lorsque, après la coupe du matériau, le tambour est lancé par le levier à excentrique. Dès que la saillie (B2) a échappé au cliquet, celui-ci retombe en appui sur la butée (J1).This parachute carries at its upper part and opposite the drum, a pawl (L) articulated elastically at (L1) to be constantly applied at its free end to a stop (J1) of the parachute. The wall of the drum carries, near its periphery, a projection (B2) which is positioned and profiled to pass above the stop (J1) and raise the pawl (L) when, after cutting the material, the drum is launched by the eccentric lever. As soon as the projection (B2) has escaped the pawl, the latter falls back into abutment on the stop (J1).
Pendant cette action de lancement du tambour, une butée (M) montée pivotante à l'intérieur dudit tambour et présentant une partie sortant de la paroi par une large ouverture en arc de cercle, est passée par gravité d'une position basse ou proche de l'axe du tambour à une position haute ou éloignée dudit axe, dans ladite ouverture. Pour arrêter la rotation du tambour sitôt que la saillie (B2) a échappé au cliquet, il a été prévu de maintenir cette butée mobile en position haute, malgré sa tendance naturelle à retomber lorsque le tambour approche de la zone où il doit s'arrêter, cela afin que ladite butée s'appuie contre la butée (J1) du parachute qui oscille alors à l'encontre d'un ressort (N) avant de revenir par une saillie (J2) en butée contre un arrêtoir (A3) de l'aile (A2).During this drum launching action, a stop (M) pivotally mounted inside said drum and having a part protruding from the wall by a large opening in an arc of a circle, has passed by gravity from a low position or close to the axis of the drum at a high position or away from said axis, in said opening. To stop the rotation of the drum as soon as the projection (B2) has escaped the pawl, provision has been made to keep this movable stopper in the high position, despite its natural tendency to fall back when the drum approaches the zone where it must stop. , so that said stop is pressed against the stop (J1) of the parachute which then oscillates against a spring (N) before returning by a projection (J2) in abutment against a stopper (A3) of the 'wing (A2).
Pour cela, on prévoit soit une rampe (J3) judicieusement orientée, dimensionnée et associée au parachute pour obliger la butée mobile à remonter, soit un levier articulé librement à l'intérieur du tambour en un point sensiblement opposé diamétralement au point d'articulation de la butée mobile et convenablement dimensionné pour se trouver naturellement sous ladite butée mobile en la retenant ainsi dans la position haute afin qu'elle assure l'arrêt du tambour, lorsque le tambour est en fin de course, tandis que ledit levier s'escamote automatiquement sous l'effet de montée de la butée mobile lors de son contact avec la butée (J1), en permettant ainsi le retour par gravité de la butée mobile (M) en position basse pour réarmer l'appareil.For this, there is either a ramp (J3) judiciously oriented, dimensioned and associated with the parachute to force the movable stop to go up, or a lever freely articulated inside the drum in a point substantially diametrically opposite the point of articulation of the movable stop and suitably sized to be naturally under said movable stop, thereby retaining it in the high position so that it ensures the stop of the drum, when the drum is at the end stroke, while said lever retracts automatically under the effect of the movable stop rising when it comes into contact with the stop (J1), thereby allowing the movable stop (M) to return by gravity to the low position for reset the device.
Ce type d'appareil donne entièrement satisfaction aux utilisateurs, notamment par sa simplicité d'utilisation et sa fiabilité.This type of device gives users complete satisfaction, in particular by its simplicity of use and its reliability.
La conception de cet appareil tient compte de ces conditions d'utilisation et les diverses améliorations et compléments apportés résultent de l'ensemble des connaissances, expériences et essais effectués par le Demandeur depuis de nombreuses années afin d'obtenir un appareil qui soit le plus performant possible pouvant être adapté à toutes qualités de papiers.The design of this device takes these conditions of use into account and the various improvements and additions made result from the body of knowledge, experience and tests carried out by the Applicant for many years in order to obtain a device that is the most efficient. possible that can be adapted to all qualities of paper.
Cet appareil est adapté pour distribuer des longueurs de bandes de matériau coupées prédéterminées. Le diamètre et donc la circonférence du tambour est établi pour permettre le développement d'une longueur de bande.This device is suitable for dispensing lengths of predetermined cut material strips. The diameter and therefore the circumference of the drum is established to allow the development of a strip length.
Ainsi, les conditions d'utilisation de l'appareil, compte tenu des caractéristiques spécifiques du tambour, ne lui permettent que de distribuer constamment des bandes de matériau à des longueurs préétablies. Il n'y a pas de possibilité, avec l'appareil, de faire varier au gré des besoins les dimensions des longueurs de bande découpées.Thus, the conditions of use of the device, taking into account the specific characteristics of the drum, only allow it to constantly distribute strips of material at predetermined lengths. With the device, there is no possibility of varying the dimensions of the cut lengths of tape as required.
D'une manière plus générale, tous les types d'appareil distributeur de papier d'essuyage connus à ce jour ne sont nullement conçus et adaptés pour permettre la distribution variable et programmée de longueurs de bande de matériau différentes et variables en longueur.More generally, all the types of wiping paper dispensing device known to date are in no way designed and adapted to allow variable and programmed distribution of different lengths of material strip and variable in length.
Le but recherché selon l'invention était donc de rechercher et concevoir un appareil distributeur qui puisse être adapté selon les besoins à la coupe de bandes de matériau de longueurs variables. A partir de ce but, il fallait donc concevoir un appareil susceptible de mettre en oeuvre un tel concept, dans des conditions de fabrication peu coûteuses, et d'utilisation et manipulation très simples à mettre en oeuvre et fiables pour l'opérateur.The aim sought after according to the invention was therefore to research and design a dispensing device which can be adapted as required for cutting strips of material of variable lengths. From this aim, it was therefore necessary to design an apparatus capable of implementing such a concept, under inexpensive manufacturing conditions, and of use and handling very simple to implement and reliable for the operator.
Ainsi, compte tenu du problème posé, le Demandeur s'est orienté sur l'étude et l'aménagement du tambour de l'appareil en recherchant une solution et un aménagement adaptés pour répondre de manière satisfaisante au problème posé.Thus, taking into account the problem posed, the Applicant turned to the study and the arrangement of the drum of the apparatus while seeking a solution and an arrangement adapted to respond satisfactorily to the problem posed.
La solution trouvée est adaptée à tous types d'appareils distributeurs.The solution found is suitable for all types of dispensing devices.
Ainsi, selon une première caractéristique de l'invention, l'appareil de distribution et de coupe simultanée de bandes matériau enroulées est remarquable en ce que le tambour est agencé avec au moins deux fentes pour recevoir et autoriser le déplacement d'au moins deux dispositifs de coupe étroitement associés et susceptibles d'être actionnés successivement pour permettre le débordement partiel de leur lame de coupe associée, lesdits dispositifs de coupe étant déplacés selon un cycle préétabli à partir du guidage d'une came profilée montée sur l'axe du tambour, et en ce que les dispositifs porte-lame et le tambour étant aménagés avec des moyens permettant d'escamoter l'une des lames à l'intérieur du tambour pour la rendre passive, et définir ainsi des longueurs de bandes de matériau à découper variables selon les besoins, en fonction du nombre de lames de coupe susceptibles d'intervenir lors de la rotation sur un tour du tambour.Thus, according to a first characteristic of the invention, the apparatus for simultaneously distributing and cutting wound material bands is remarkable in that the drum is arranged with at least two slots for receiving and allowing the movement of at least two devices. closely associated cutting elements which can be actuated successively to allow the partial overflow of their associated cutting blade, said cutting devices being moved according to a predetermined cycle from the guidance of a profiled cam mounted on the axis of the drum, and in that the blade-holder devices and the drum being arranged with means allowing one of the blades to be retracted inside the drum to make it passive, and thus define lengths of strips of material to be cut variable as required, according to the number of cutting blades likely to intervene during rotation on one revolution of the drum.
Ces caractéristiques et d'autres encore ressortiront bien de la suite de la description.These characteristics and others will emerge clearly from the following description.

Afin de rendre plus concret l'objet de l'invention, on le décrit maintenant d'une manière non limitative aux figures des dessins.In order to make the object of the invention more concrete, it is now described in a nonlimiting manner in the figures of the drawings.
Les principaux éléments connus de l'appareil ayant été énoncés dans le préambule de la Demande, on se limite ci-après à décrire les moyens nouveaux de l'invention permettant la coupe de longueurs de bandes de papier à des dimensions variables.The main known elements of the device having been set out in the preamble to the Application, we will limit ourselves below to describing the new means of the invention allowing the cutting of lengths of paper strips to variable dimensions.
Selon l'invention, le tambour (B) de l'appareil est ainsi aménagé pour recevoir plusieurs dispositifs de coupe susceptibles d'intervenir successivement lors de la rotation du tambour par suite d'un effet de traction sur l'extrémité libre de la bande de matériau tirée. Selon les besoins, les dispositifs de coupe peuvent agir successivement lors d'un même tour du tambour permettant ainsi, dans une seule rotation du tambour, de sectionner plusieurs longueurs de bande de matériau à des longueurs réduites.According to the invention, the drum (B) of the device is thus arranged to receive several cutting devices capable of intervening successively during the rotation of the drum as a result of a pulling effect on the free end of the strip. of material drawn. According to the needs, the cutting devices can act successively during the same turn of the drum, thus making it possible, in a single rotation of the drum, to cut several lengths of strip of material at reduced lengths.
Selon l'invention, au moins un dispositif de coupe est susceptible d'être escamoté à l'intérieur du tambour grâce à l'utilisation de moyens spécifiques agencés et disposés à la fois sur le tambour et sur le porte-lame correspondant du dispositif de coupe. Ainsi, l'action d'escamotage de l'un des dispositifs de coupe permet de supprimer une action de coupe, de sorte que seul le dispositif de coupe restant actif est à même de sectionner, lors de la rotation du tambour, des longueurs de bande plus importantes et pouvant correspondre ainsi à la développante de la périphérie du tambour précité.According to the invention, at least one cutting device is capable of being retracted inside the drum thanks to the use of specific means arranged and disposed both on the drum and on the corresponding blade holder of the cutting device. chopped off. Thus, the retraction action of one of the cutting devices makes it possible to suppress a cutting action, so that only the cutting device remaining active is capable of cutting, during the rotation of the drum, lengths of larger band and can thus correspond to the involute of the periphery of the aforementioned drum.
A titre d'exemple et dans le cas de l'insertion dans le tambour de deux dispositifs de coupe (C1 - C2) tels qu'illustrés figure 3 des dessins, ces derniers étant disposés en opposition à l'intérieur du tambour, on peut sectionner deux formats sur le même distributeur pour une circonférence du tambour de 46 cm, on peut ainsi proposer le débitage de longueurs de bande de 46 cm par l'action d'un seul dispositif de coupe ou de deux longueurs de bande de 23 cm par l'action de deux dispositifs de coupe. Il n'est pas exclu bien entendu de prévoir d'agencer le tambour avec trois dispositifs de coupe ou plus en fonction des longueurs de bande que l'on souhaite utiliser.By way of example and in the case of the insertion into the drum of two cutting devices (C1 - C2) as illustrated in FIG. 3 of the drawings, the latter being arranged in opposition inside the drum, it is possible to section two formats on the same distributor for a 46 cm drum circumference, it is thus possible to offer the cutting of strip lengths of 46 cm by the action of a single cutting device or two lengths of 23 cm strip by the action of two cutting devices. It is of course not excluded to provide for arranging the drum with three or more cutting devices according to the lengths of strip which it is desired to use.
Il convient dés lors de décrire d'une manière non limitative un exemple de mise en oeuvre de l'invention.An example of implementation of the invention should therefore be described in a non-limiting manner.
On décrit tout d'abord le montage des différents dispositifs de coupe à l'intérieur du tambour, puis les moyens servant à l'escamotage de l'un des dispositifs de coupe.We first describe the mounting of the various cutting devices inside the drum, then the means used to retract one of the cutting devices.
Ainsi, le tambour (B) creux intérieurement est agencé pour recevoir deux dispositifs de coupe (C1 et C2) étroitement associés l'un à l'autre disposés en opposition à l'intérieur du tambour, et susceptibles d'être actionnés successivement pour permettre alternativement le débordement partiel de leur lame de coupe associée.Thus, the hollow drum (B) internally is arranged to receive two cutting devices (C1 and C2) closely associated with each other arranged in opposition inside the drum, and capable of being actuated successively to allow alternatively the partial overflow of their associated cutting blade.
Chaque dispositif de coupe comprend de manière connue un porte-lame (C) recevant une lame dentelée (1), ledit porte-lame présentant à sa base une tige (2) ou barre traversant le tambour (B) en étant convenablement guidé, l'une des extrémités de la barre d'articulation des porte-lames reçoit un galet de guidage (3) susceptible de coopérer avec une came (4) profilée montée sur l'axe du tambour.Each cutting device comprises in known manner a blade holder (C) receiving a serrated blade (1), said blade holder having at its base a rod (2) or bar passing through the drum (B) being suitably guided, l 'one end of the articulation bar of the blade holders receives a guide roller (3) capable of cooperating with a profiled cam (4) mounted on the axis of the drum.
Cette came (4) fixe est agencée avec un profil spécifique adapté pour permettre l'actionnement successif et continu des deux porte-lames (C1 - C2), et de fait la réalisation de deux coupes. On doit considérer préalablement que chaque galet associé à un porte-lame est en contact continu et régulier avec la came, les deux galets étant simplement disposés à des endroits différents de la came, selon un cheminement continu, leur position étant établie pour correspondre à l'actionnement successif de chaque lame et porte-lame associés pour pénétrer dans les bandes de papier tirées successivement.This fixed cam (4) is arranged with a specific profile adapted to allow the successive and continuous actuation of the two blade holders (C1 - C2), and in fact the production of two cuts. It must be considered beforehand that each roller associated with a blade holder is in continuous and regular contact with the cam, the two rollers being simply placed at different places on the cam, according to a continuous path, their position being established to correspond to the successive actuation of each blade and associated blade holder to penetrate the successively drawn strips of paper.
Cette came (4) présente ainsi un profil comprenant les zones suivantes : Autour de sa zone de fixation située par rapport à l'axe du tambour est prévue une première zone (4.1) de forme semi-circulaire intermédiaire de repos et de transport. Cette piemière zone se prolonge dans sa partie supérieure avec une forme évasée formant creux (4.2), orientée intérieurement dans la came susceptible de former un creux et formant siège pour la réception des galets (3) successifs. Dans cette zone, la lame de coupe pénètre progressivement dans la bande de papier. Cette forme en creux (4.2) se prolonge ensuite par une troisième zone présentant un large profil curviligne et évasé (4.3) correspondant à la finition de la coupe ainsi qu'il apparaît aux dessins, situé à l'opposé de la zone (4.1), puis la came présente un profil rectiligne (4.4) permettant de rejoindre les zones (4.3 et 4.1) précitées.This cam (4) thus has a profile comprising the following zones: Around its fixing zone situated with respect to the axis of the drum is provided a first zone (4.1) of semi-circular intermediate form of rest and transport. This zone hinge extends in its upper part with a flared shape forming a hollow (4.2), oriented internally in the cam capable of forming a hollow and forming a seat for the reception of successive rollers (3). In this area, the cutting blade gradually enters the paper strip. This hollow shape (4.2) is then extended by a third zone having a broad curvilinear and flared profile (4.3) corresponding to the finish of the cut as it appears in the drawings, located opposite the zone (4.1). , then the cam has a rectilinear profile (4.4) making it possible to join the aforementioned zones (4.3 and 4.1).
Les deux galets (3) associés à chaque dispositif de coupe (C1 - C2), parcourent ainsi le chemin de came tel que défini dans le sens donné par la rotation du tambour.The two rollers (3) associated with each cutting device (C1 - C2), thus traverse the cam path as defined in the direction given by the rotation of the drum.
De ce fait, leur galet respectif (3.1 - 3.2) parcourt le chemin de came avec un décalage correspondant.Therefore, their respective roller (3.1 - 3.2) travels the cam path with a corresponding offset.
L'insertion dans le tambour des deux dispositifs de coupe précités permet ainsi d'engendrer, à partir de la rotation du tambour sur un seul tour, l'actionnement desdits dispositifs de coupe et la réalisation ainsi de deux sections de bandes de matériaux. Le tambour comprend ainsi deux fentes diamétralement opposées pour le passage des lames de coupe et, d'autre part, et avantageusement, il est disposé sur leur pourtour périphérique deux zones rugueuses (5) constituées par des morceaux de toile EMERI ou similaire, susceptibles d'être en contact avec le rouleau de service de distribution de bandes de papier assurant une parfaite tenue de celui-ci. Ainsi, chacune des demi-parties du tambour présente une développante correspondant à la longueur de la bande de matériau coupée de dimensions réduites telles que par exemple 23 cm.The insertion into the drum of the two aforementioned cutting devices thus makes it possible to generate, from the rotation of the drum on a single turn, the actuation of said cutting devices and thus the production of two sections of strips of material. The drum thus comprises two diametrically opposite slots for the passage of the cutting blades and, on the other hand, and advantageously, it is arranged on their peripheral periphery two zones rough (5) constituted by pieces of EMERI canvas or similar, likely to be in contact with the service roll for dispensing strips of paper ensuring perfect hold of the latter. Thus, each of the half-parts of the drum has an involute corresponding to the length of the strip of cut material of reduced dimensions such as for example 23 cm.
Il convient maintenant de décrire les moyens d'escamotage de l'un des dispositifs de coupe.It is now necessary to describe the means of retraction of one of the cutting devices.
On décrit, dans une première variante illustrée figures 5 et 6, l'utilisation de deux commandes séparées susceptibles d'agir, d'une part, sur le dispositif de coupe en lui-même et, d'autre part, en vue de la séparation de ce dernier par rapport aux organes d'arrêt du dispositif de coupe dans le tambour.A first variant illustrated in FIGS. 5 and 6 describes the use of two separate controls capable of acting, on the one hand, on the cutting device itself and, on the other hand, for the purpose of separation of the latter relative to the stop members of the cutting device in the drum.
Dans cette première mise en oeuvre, l'un des dispositifs de coupe (C1) par exemple comprend, sur sa partie porte-lame (C) un moyen support (10) d'un élément mobile (11) dont l'extrémité (11.1) est associée au galet (3.1) susceptible de parcourir le chemin de came(4) autorisant le déplacement de la lame à l'intérieur du tambour et sa sortie pour assurer la coupe de bande de matériau. L'élément mobile (11) est agencé pour recevoir un support (12) profilé formant siège pour recevoir un organe (13) monté à débattement contrôlé à l'intérieur du tambour.In this first implementation, one of the cutting devices (C1) for example comprises, on its blade-holding part (C) a support means (10) of a mobile element (11) whose end (11.1 ) is associated with the roller (3.1) capable of traversing the cam path (4) authorizing the displacement of the blade inside the drum and its exit to ensure the cutting of the strip of material. The mobile element (11) is arranged to receive a support (12) profiled forming a seat for receiving a member (13) mounted with controlled movement inside the drum.
Plus précisément, le tambour reçoit intérieurement près de l'un de ses côtés, directement formée avec le tambour ou d'une manière rapportée, une plaque (13.1) formant cube par exemple susceptible de recevoir à fixation et articulation limitée, l'extrémité d'un organe flexible (13.2) de grande longueur, et dont l'extrémité (13.3) est susceptible de déborder partiellement dans une échancrure (14) profilée formée dans la partie opposée périphérique du tambour. L'organe flexible est monté sur un axe (15) sur la plaque (13.1) précitée, une vis (15.1) assurant la tenue de l'organe sur la plaque. Cet organe flexible formant tige peut ainsi, de par sa flexibilité, être déplacé sensiblement dans un premier plan, et par son montage peut être déplacé latéralement dans un second plan.More specifically, the drum receives internally near one of its sides, directly formed with the drum or in an attached manner, a plate (13.1) forming a cube, for example capable of receiving limited fixing and articulation, the end d '' a flexible member (13.2) of great length, and the end (13.3) of which is liable to partially overflow in a profiled notch (14) formed in the opposite peripheral part of the drum. The flexible member is mounted on an axis (15) on the aforementioned plate (13.1), a screw (15.1) ensuring the holding of the member on the plate. This flexible rod member can thus, by its flexibility, be moved substantially in a first plane, and by its mounting can be moved laterally in a second plane.
Selon une autre particularité de cet organe flexible, sa partie intérieure dans le tambour et près de l'extrémité, est profilé pour s'engager dans le support formant chape (12) monté sur le dispositif de coupe. Le moyen support (10) est établi sous la forme d'une plaque métallique profilée avec deux ailes (10.1 - 10.2), disposé dans le sens de la longueur de la lame de coupe. Entre les ailes, est introduit et guidé l'élément mobile (11). Le support formant chape (12) est monté et introduit sur l'élément mobile. Comme indiqué précédemment, l'une des extrémités (11.1) de l'élément mobile reçoit le galet (3.1) qui vient ainsi en butée extérieure contre l'une des ailes (10.1) du support (10). A son autre extrémité, l'élément mobile (11) reçoit une bague (16) susceptible de venir en butée par l'extérieur contre l'autre aile (10.2).According to another feature of this flexible member, its inner part in the drum and near the end, is profiled to engage in the support forming a yoke (12) mounted on the cutting device. The support means (10) is established in the form of a profiled metal plate with two wings (10.1 - 10.2), arranged in the direction of the length of the cutting blade. Between the wings, the movable element (11) is introduced and guided. The support forming a yoke (12) is mounted and introduced on the movable element. As indicated previously, one of the ends (11.1) of the movable element receives the roller (3.1) which thus comes into external abutment against one of the wings (10.1) of the support (10). At its other end, the mobile element (11) receives a ring (16) capable of abutting from the outside against the other wing (10.2).
Sur le tambour, l'échancrure (14) permet ainsi le débordement partiel de l'organe (12). Cette échancrure présente une forme profilée oblongue avec, à ses extrémités, deux évidements (14.1 - 14.2) susceptibles de recevoir l'extrémité de l'organe (12). L'orientation de la lumière oblongue est disposée transversalement au tambour. On comprend ainsi que toute action de déplacement de l'organe (12) et sa mise en position dans l'une des deux saillies (14.1 - 14.2) va entraîner simultanément, par son déplacement, la translation de l'élément mobile (11) associé au porte-lame. Cette action va donc provoquer le déplacement du galet (3.1) et son positionnement sur la came (4) ou son dégagement de celle-ci. Selon les positions, le porte-lame pourra donc être mis en fonction ou désactivé. On pourra donc obtenir, selon l'action exercée sur l'organe (12), l'intervention des deux dispositifs de coupe ou d'un seul.On the drum, the notch (14) thus allows the partial overflow of the member (12). This notch has an oblong profiled shape with, at its ends, two recesses (14.1 - 14.2) capable of receiving the end of the member (12). The orientation of the oblong lumen is arranged transversely to the drum. It is thus understood that any action of displacement of the member (12) and its positioning in one of the two projections (14.1 - 14.2) will simultaneously cause, by its displacement, the translation of the mobile element (11) associated with the blade holder. This action will therefore cause the displacement of the roller (3.1) and its positioning on the cam (4) or its disengagement from the latter. Depending on the positions, the blade holder can therefore be switched on or off. We can therefore obtain, depending on the action exerted on the member (12), the intervention of two cutting devices or one.
A titre complémentaire, le tambour est aménagé à son autre extrémité correspondant à l'entraînement et arrêt du dispositif de coupe escamotable avec des moyens complémentaires permettant également de contrôler la rotation du tambour sur un demi-tour ou sa rotation complète. Cet agencement est illustré figure 5 où l'on voit que le tambour est agencé à son extrémité dans le même plan avec une autre échancrure profilée (18) aménagée avec deux saillies (18.1 - 18.2). Le flasque latéral du tambour reçoit un doigt (19) sur lequel peut coulisser un bras (20) profilé en L dont une extrémité (20.1) pénètre et déborde du flasque du tambour précité, ledit bras formant masselotte L'autre branche du bras reçoit une tige (21) susceptible de déborder et pénétrer dans l'échanrure profilée (18) précitée. Cette tige est montée avec une capacité élastique de déformation pour permettre son coulissement à l'intérieur de l'échancrure et son positionnement approprié.As a complement, the drum is arranged at its other end corresponding to the driving and stopping of the retractable cutting device with complementary means also making it possible to control the rotation of the drum over a half-turn or its complete rotation. This arrangement is illustrated in Figure 5 where we see that the drum is arranged at its end in the same plane with another profiled notch (18) arranged with two projections (18.1 - 18.2). The lateral flange of the drum receives a finger (19) on which an L-shaped arm (20) can slide, one end (20.1) of which penetrates and projects beyond the flange of the aforementioned drum, said arm forming a counterweight. The other branch of the arm receives a rod (21) capable of overflowing and penetrating into the aforementioned profiled notch (18). This rod is mounted with an elastic deformation capacity to allow it to slide inside the notch and its appropriate positioning.
L'action des organes (12) et (21) est effectuée successivement en fonction des longueurs de bande de matériau à découper.The action of the members (12) and (21) is carried out successively as a function of the lengths of strip of material to be cut.
Dans une mise en oeuvre en variante illustrée aux figures 7 et 8, les différents organes et moyens susceptibles d'escamoter le dispositif de coupe sont commandés simultanément. A cet effet, dans une mise en oeuvre non limitative, l'élément mobile (11) associé au galet (3.1) et le bras (20) sont reliés entre eux par deux tringles (23 et 24) dont une extrémité (23.1 - 24.1) est associée auxdits organes, tandis que l'autre extrémité (23.2 - 24.2) est montée sur un arbre (25) disposé dans la partie médiane de la périphérie du tambour. Lesdites extrémités (23.2 - 24.2) sont fixées de toute manière appropriée sur l'arbre (25). Cet arbre (25) est monté à rotation sur une bague (26) disposée intérieurement au tambour et présente une tête (25.1) introduite dans un évidement formé dans la paroi du tambour. Cette tête peut être indexée en rotation avec des moyens (27) permettant son encliquetage selon des positions d'escamotage ou de non escamotage du dispositif de coupe. L'arbre (25) peut être mis en rotation pour actionner les tringles et conséquemment les organes précités par une simple rotation d'un quart de tour. Pour effectuer cette opération, la tête peut présenter un évidement permettant l'insertion de la partie active d'un tournevis ou autre moyen utilisable par l'opérateur. Ainsi, on obtient une commande simplifiée unique du mécanisme.In an alternative implementation illustrated in Figures 7 and 8, the various members and means capable of retracting the cutting device are controlled simultaneously. To this end, in a non-limiting implementation, the mobile element (11) associated with the roller (3.1) and the arm (20) are connected together by two rods (23 and 24), one end of which (23.1 - 24.1 ) is associated with said members, while the other end (23.2 - 24.2) is mounted on a shaft (25) disposed in the middle part of the periphery of the drum. Said ends (23.2 - 24.2) are fixed in any suitable manner on the shaft (25). This shaft (25) is rotatably mounted on a ring (26) disposed inside the drum and has a head (25.1) inserted in a recess formed in the wall of the drum. This head can be indexed in rotation with means (27) allowing it to snap into retracting or non-retracting positions of the cutting device. The shaft (25) can be rotated to actuate the rods and consequently the aforementioned members by a simple rotation of a quarter turn. To perform this operation, the head may have a recess allowing the insertion of the active part of a screwdriver or other means usable by the operator. Thus, a single simplified control of the mechanism is obtained.
Que ce soit par une commande unique ou à double commande, les extrémités des organes assurant le déplacement du dispositif de lame de coupe, ne débordent que très sensiblement de la périphérie du tambour pour ne pas gêner le positionnement des bandes de papier lors de leur enroulement sur le tambour.Whether by a single command or a double command, the ends of the members ensuring the movement of the cutting blade device, protrude only very appreciably from the periphery of the drum so as not to hinder the positioning of the strips of paper during their winding. on the drum.
Ainsi, pour l'opérateur, on obtient une commande simplifiée très rapide à mettre en oeuvre pour sélectionner les formats de longueurs de bande à découper.Thus, for the operator, a simplified command is obtained which is very quick to implement in order to select the formats of strip lengths to be cut.
Les avantages ressortent bien de l'invention. On souligne en particulier la simplicité du dispositif.The advantages emerge clearly from the invention. In particular, the simplicity of the device is emphasized.
Selon les besoins, il n'est pas exclu d'introduire à l'intérieur du tambour un troisième dispositif de coupe avec des moyens complémentaires permettant ou non leur escamotage en fonction des longueurs de bande à découper.As required, it is not excluded to introduce a third cutting device inside the drum with complementary means allowing or not their retraction according to the lengths of strip to be cut.
L'invention permet également de supprimer le levier à excentrique et ressort tel qu'utilisé précédemment.The invention also makes it possible to eliminate the eccentric and spring lever as used previously.
