Definitions

  • the invention relates to a towel dispenser for reusable towels made of textiles.
  • the towel has the shape of a wide and long band which is wound on two rolls which can be rotated in opposite directions. During use, the user pulls on the towel, winding up the used portion of the towel. It cannot be avoided that an already used section of the towel is reused, which is unsanitary.
  • Towel dispensers are also known, in which wound, stacked or folded paper towels are arranged (EP 276 662 A1 / DE-GM 7 20 641), which can be removed in the bottom area of the towel dispenser.
  • the disadvantage of this towel dispenser is in particular that the paper is either damaged so that it is no longer reusable, or it has to be costly to recycle.
  • a towel dispenser with presorted towels is disclosed in PCT / AU 91/00077, which allows easy removal of the towels, however, the pre-sorting of the towels and the provision of the dispenser is time-consuming.
  • the invention has for its object to further develop the generic towel dispenser without undue constructive effort so that the user is guaranteed to use clean and unused towels that are reusable after cleaning.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide a towel-use cleaning circuit which is not associated with any additional effort.
  • a particularly useful embodiment provides that the removal openings face the user and are formed in the peripheral region of the base. It is expedient if separating webs are formed between the removal openings, the width of which is smaller than the width of the removal openings.
  • a further practical embodiment provides a towel dispenser with a cuboid or cylindrical shape
  • Base body which can be operatively connected to a stationary body, for example a wall, and whose top side can be covered by means of a cover body, before the base body has an articulated body and can be pivoted about a horizontal axis with respect to the body.
  • the joint body is in the form of a plate which is articulated in the base region of the base body and carries the cover body. Furthermore, it is provided that above the hinge axis there is arranged a swivel angle adjustment body which can be connected to the base body and to the plate and by means of which the swivel angle of the base body can be defined with reference to the fixed body (wall).
  • a further expedient embodiment of the invention provides that the swivel angle adjustment body is designed in the form of a band or strip that can be firmly connected to the plate, while it can be connected to the base body by means of friction and clamping connections .
  • a further expedient embodiment of the invention provides that the bottom of the Basic body falls towards the removal opening.
  • an expedient embodiment of the invention provides that a collecting container for used towels is arranged below or to the side of the towel dispenser (s), which is expediently in the form of a cuboid or cylinder with a removable one and an opening having a lid is formed.
  • the interior of the collecting container can advantageously be lined with a removable net or a bag, which is partially put over the upper edge of the collecting container and held by the lid.
  • a closing body e.g. Rope is arranged, through which the network can be locked.
  • a towel dispenser made of expediently white high-gloss polystyrene housing with a hinged lid and can be folded down for easier loading.
  • the capacity is 40, 50 or 75 pieces, small terry towels hemmed on all sides with the dimensions 22 x 30 cm.
  • the used small towels are stored in the collection container made of white high-gloss polystyrene, in which a laundry net with a square base and a Dimo closure with cord is hung.
  • a special clamp cover with an oval opening is particularly suitable. The delivery of fresh towels and the removal of the used towels takes place in a rolling system.
  • the delivery and delivery can be done in a specially modified roll container, which ensures the clean / impure separation by a container cover with a lid.
  • the net with the used towels is stored in the lower area of the roll container. After hand disinfection, a net with fresh towels is removed and emptied into the dispenser. The empty net is hung in the basket and now serves again as a collecting container for the towels used.
  • the towels are washed in the in-house or central laundry, dried and unfolded again in the net and made available to the user in the dispenser. The user therefore only comes into contact with clean towels. During the cleaning process, the towels can remain in the network and then transferred to the towel dispenser without touching them.
  • a towel dispenser 10 for reusable towels (not shown) made of textiles which has a towel holder 12 for a plurality of separate towels, in the bottom region 14 four removal openings 16-22 are formed for the towels.
  • the removal openings 16-22 face the user and are formed in the peripheral region of the base 14. Between the removal openings 16-22 are dividers 24-28, the width of which is smaller than the width of the removal openings 16-22.
  • the removal openings are dimensioned such that simple and good access to the towels arranged in the bottom region 14 of the towel dispenser 10 is ensured.
  • the towel dispenser has a cuboid base body 30 which can be operatively connected to a stationary body 32, here a wall, and whose top side 34 can be covered by means of a cover body 36 with a bent edge 38.
  • the base body 30 has a joint body 40 and can be pivoted with respect to the body 32 about a horizontal axis 42. As a result, the base body 30 can be pivoted between an operating position and a filling position, as shown in FIG. 1.
  • the base body can be pivoted by more than 20 °, and the joint body 40 is designed in the form of a plate which is articulated in the base region of the base body 30 and carries the cover body 36.
  • a swivel angle adjustment body Arranged above the hinge axis 42 is a swivel angle adjustment body which can be connected to the base body 30 and to the plate 40 and has the form of a wide band which can be firmly connected to the plate 40, while it is connected to the base body 30 by friction or clamping connections 46 works together.
  • the bottom 48 of the base body 30 drops to the removal openings 16 to 22.
  • a viewing window 50 is formed in the front wall, through which it can be determined whether the towel dispenser is at least half full of towels.
  • FIG. 2 shows a collecting container 60 in the form of a cuboid, which has a lid 64 with an opening 66 and is arranged below the towel dispenser 10.
  • the interior of the collecting container 60 is one removable net 68 lined, which is partially slipped over the upper edge of the collecting container 60 and is held by the lid 64.
  • a rope 70 is arranged in the upper area of the net 68, through which the net 68 can be locked.
  • the base body 62 of the collecting container can consist of plastic foam.
