Definitions
- the invention relates to a towel dispenser according to the preamble of Claim 1 (see document WO-A-9 009 136).
- the towel dispenser there is a need for Use exposed loop or the like, which the clean Part connects with the used part of the towel rail and can be retracted in steps after use or shorten and thereby prepare that under Extension of the loop again a fresh towel part can be deducted.
- the loop can be after Pull down tension-free for a predetermined time hang or are always under the tension of a pull-in force, so that when released by the operator is moved in immediately.
- the invention has for its object a towel dispenser to create the disadvantages of known training are avoided and which in particular offers the possibility in many of its different operating states to ensure effective feeding and easy handling to allow.
- the towel web is from a clean store and depending on it in one or to transfer several used memories, being expedient the towel dispenser a towel feeder, a loop feeder and / or operates an energy store, the stored energy is used for the towel loop, e.g. after a timer has expired, pull the donor taut or a used part of the towel loop in to take over the final used memory.
- the sequence the timer can clean during or after the dispensing Start the towel part at the loop.
- the energy storage is advantageous manually or by Pulling off the towel rail is charged so that it is independent always contains enough energy from the operating state of the donor, to pull in the loop or the last free end to transfer the towel rail completely into the housing.
- Such an operating state can also be the one that to remove the used towel sheet or to insert a fresh towel sheet is provided or it can be the one that emerges when the last end of the clean towel rail completely drawn into the Used memory transferred, namely e.g. is wound up.
- the energy storage is useful every time you hand in towels each charged so that the energy stored thereby enough to pull in a towel length that is at least 10% is greater than the towel length given immediately before.
- sensing or interrogation element which indicates the presence the towel rail in front of the used store or a drivable feed roller in a pass nip or after the entry point of the associated loop leg in the donor and if there is no blockage indent.
- the sensing element can also mechanically determine the operating state of the donor, namely e.g. whether both Gap limits in the use position closely together lie or from each other e.g. for the fact that the Towel rail can be replaced, and then here too blocking is provided.
- the energy storage will therefore neither with the towel sheet completely retracted nor unload with the dispenser open so that after loading fresh towel rail still enough drive energy is present to the free end of the towel rail after sufficient Determine to catch up with moving in without that for this one or more lengths of web from the cleaner store must be deducted to make the energy storage ready for use charge.
- the blocking means are expediently separate from blocking means provided, which are released by the timer so that the feed mechanism is started. Both means can, however, be on the same runner, e.g. one by drag braked blade rotor act, which over a multi-stage gear transmission from the energy storage with opposite this much higher running speed is driven.
- a blocking effective, between an engagement and a disengagement position movable locking member expediently has separate Cam on the one hand for actuation by a switching element of the Timing element and on the other hand for actuation by the control element, e.g. a roller, with the second cam can also directly form the stop. This is useful Flow locking element for positive engagement or stop position positively controlled while it is being released by a force, especially only by its weight is then transferred when the corresponding cam is released is.
- the functions mentioned usually set the implementation a predetermined, stroke-limited trigger travel of the Control member or the like ahead, namely that a relatively accurate predetermined length of the towel rail is subtracted. Is the actual travel distance is smaller than the mentioned trigger travel distance, so can one engaging the timing element or the blocking element Stop the cam in the area of the associated cam rotor instead of overflowing and disengaging prevent this link. This would prevent the move in Gear set or another deduction prevented.
- Disengagement means are provided to avoid the provision or enable disengagement of said link when the cam follower is engaged or in the way the control cam is standing.
- the cam follower is form-fitting in its working position locked, but by a movement transverse to its control movement unlockable, this unlocking automatically in that the control cam at the end of its travel by tension forces in the feed mechanism against their Working direction is put back a little way and thereby the cam rotor frictionally in its unlocked position in which he takes on the Switching element can be moved away from the cam against spring force can. The switching element or the blocking element can then despite the cam attached to the cam can be disengaged. As soon as the cam is moved away from the cam rotor again, this becomes automatically transferred to its working position by spring force and locked in there.
- Unlocking can be done easily through the energy storage or its drive member to be driven if this for charging the energy store with the control element and is connected to the cam runner via the cam.
- a free-wheel lock is used to positively limit the return path provided that e.g. by bearing play of a return blocking element releases the required return path.
- the clean room at least partially to substantially completely above the used or dirty room and the clean room approximately up to the top or the dirt space approximately to to the underside of the dispenser housing.
- This allows all essential mechanical or movable functional parts both the trigger and the feed mechanism and their Connection in the deepest area of the donor or below of the clean room.
- the clean room or the towel rail in it from the dirt room hardly be contaminated.
- a partition between the two Broaching further improves this effect.
- this partition takes the weight of the stored clean Towel part, taking against this weight a spring or the like. is so loaded that with the decrease of the Weight of the cleaner storage this essentially continuously lifts and so for the increase or increase of used storage Creates space.
- the towel rail can from the clean store to the loop opposite the dirt or Used dream essentially completely shielded in be guided a slot shaft, so that this part the towel rail is not contaminated.
- the respective room almost over its entire length Height or on its side facing away from the other room and essentially completely on its front open full view width, especially without housing parts must be removed completely.
- the storage of the for this movable housing or closure parts is advantageous on the one hand in the front and bottom area of the dispenser or on the other hand in the top and rear area provided, being in the lower area and in the foremost third or quarter of the donor two superimposed Swivel axes on the one hand for shielding and on the other hand can be provided for a single bottom flap.
- the winding shaft for the used memory after the connection with the foremost towel end forming the Loop inserted from the bottom up into the dispenser and after completely winding up the used towel sheet can be removed from the front of the dispenser.
- the towel feeder can directly use the used towel rail wind up or loosely unwound in a buffer discard and only then depending on one wind up the next print.
- it drives from Energy storage driven feed roller immediately the Use roll on its outer circumference while in the second Fall the feed roller separately from a drive roller for the use role is provided.
- the cache is advantageously provided on the bottom of the dispenser so that it from the towel loop is surrounded.
- In the clipboard can dry the towel rail, especially if the associated one Recording space through opposite openings in his superimposed and / or side walls through Convection or the like is ventilated.
- the dispenser 1 has a base body 2 and a cover 6 on that together is a substantially closed casing with walls forming on the outside of the dispenser lie. Of which the rear wall 3 and the side walls 4, 5 in essential only by the one-piece body 2, the Cover wall 7 and the front wall 8 essentially only through the one-piece cover 6 and the bottom wall 9 essentially only formed by another one-piece lid. From the The closed position, the cover 6 must be pivoted upwards by approximately 90 °, so that the top wall 7 approximately in the plane of the rear wall 3 lies.

- the dispenser 1 is used for storage, delivery and recording a towel web 10 indicated by dashed lines in FIG. 2.
- the upper part of the housing borders one on the top wall 7 adjoining clean room 11 and the one immediately below adjoining area reaching to the bottom wall 9 Used room 12.
- a clean roller 13 arranged from rolled up clean towel, down out of the case and then back up into the Housing guided where it wound on a used roll 14 which is always at a distance above the bottom wall 9 and at a distance below the roller 13.
- the roles 13, 14 can be shifted in the vertical direction during operation and become with decreasing role 13 or simultaneously increasing role 14 automatically according to their change in diameter raised and shifted in the opposite direction.
- the cleaning roller 13 With its outer circumference, the cleaning roller 13 lies in a trough-shaped Carrier 15, on the bottom wall of the trigger smoothly rotates and in which it is centered by the sliding engagement is held.
- the web 10 is from the front the roller 13 pulled up and then in the top housing area down along the inside of the front wall 8 redirected.
- a front wall part adjoining the floor the carrier 15 is approximately at its lowest position approximately parallel to the front wall 8 and closes approximately at the bottom of a partition 16, which also approximately parallel to the front wall 8 or vertically lies. This is approximately from the upper deflection to Floor a shaft closed off from rooms 11, 12 formed to guide the web 10.
- the towel rail 10 actuates the Trigger a trigger mechanism 18, which drives a feed mechanism 19 serves, through which the used web 10 a winding shaft 17 is wound up to roll 14.
- the wave 17 is displaceable in the vertical direction and rotatably mounted.
- Both mechanisms 18, 19 are on a separate from the housing and from this non-destructively removable unit 20 provided, with their movable functional members except for those that serve to guide the web 10 only on a single side of the housing or unit 20 between the associated side cheek and that adjacent side wall 5.
- This also applies to an energy store 21, which is essentially all of the tax collection movements drives, so that the dispenser without any electrical Drive gets along.
- a timer 22 indented, which disengages after a predetermined time and thereby releases the move-in.
- the useful loop lies with it Top with the bottom of a loop system 27 with Voltage applied by a protrusion projecting downwards of the bottom 9 formed and narrower than the web 10th is, so that this at the bottom of the dispenser 1 by hand can be easily gripped laterally and pulled down.
- the rear loop leg is through one on the back wall 3 subsequent feed opening 28 led back into the housing and passes immediately adjacent to this opening 28 the web 10 a probe 30, which the presence the web 10 detected in its passage gap.
- a comb-like sensor 29 on the top of the towel rail on the other hand with the other or bottom slides approximately horizontally on a counter member 31, which is narrow to the comb teeth of the sensor 29 adapted engagement openings having.
- the sensor 29 If there is no web 10, the sensor 29 is present released, his comb teeth are down into the openings by an actuating force, e.g. a spring, moves and from this a control process is derived, namely e.g. the Blocking of the feed mechanism 19, the energy store 21 or the like ..
- an actuating force e.g. a spring
- the bottom 9 with the Counter member 31 moved away from the sensor 29, namely downwards is pivoted around the entire bottom of the case and to open the unit 20.
- the bottom 9 and the partition 16 can be mounted on the base body 2 or on the unit 20.
- the pivot axis of the bottom 9 expediently coincides with that Axis of the deflection 25 together, which is also on the unit 20 is arranged.
- the partition 16 is open Cover 6 to the front and obliquely downwards around an axis pivotable, which coincides with that of the trigger shaft 23. In the opening position directed obliquely downwards can the partition 16 by resting on the projection 27 of the be freely secured to the floor 9 hanging down. In its working position, the partition 16 is appropriate by a resilient detent secured.
- the countershaft 24 When closing the cover 6, the countershaft 24 is from the front brought back into engagement with the trigger shaft 23, wherein because of their swivel path, they initially have higher and lower Reach their working position with less radial stress in the trigger shaft 23 engages so that there is a latching position results.
- the web 10 Immediately after the immediately adjacent the path 10 to the opening 28 is the web 10 over about 90 ° upwards around a motor-driven feed roller 32 guided, which with its outer circumference under the weight the roller 14 frictionally on its outer circumference is applied so that its rotational movement is transferred to the roller 14 becomes.
- the sensor 29 raised or actuated and thereby the feed roller 32 started so that the roller 14 is rotated until the Useful loop is tensioned.
- the trigger mechanism 18 has one directly above the trigger shaft 23 lying and directly from this slip-free via a single gear stage 34 driven rotor or a wheel 33, which in turn has a one-stage Belt drive 35 drives an elevator wheel 36 in a slip-free manner, that like the energy store 21 approximately in the axis of Feed roller 32 is located and the radially inner end of the coil spring of the energy store 21 carries, so that this two-stage Gear connection the spring can be wound.
- the the other or outer end of the storage spring is opposite a rotor or non-rotatably connected to the feed roller 32 or Spring case determined that it is exceeded when a Limit torque slips relative to the rotor.
- This Rotor is over a freewheel with one opposite the elevator wheel 36 much larger driven gear 37 connected to the drive, which is taken along when the roller 32 is pulled in, but not with counter-rotation.
- the energy storage 21 lies axially between the wheels 36, 37, the freewheel axially or on the face between the memory 21 and the wheel 37 and the wheel 36 is like the belt drive 35 and the wheel 33 on next to the side wall 5.
- the wheel 37 drives over multi-stage spur gear 38, namely an idler gear and three gear ratios a runner or one Brake wheel 39 on.
- the gear 38 is essentially above and behind the axis of the runners 21, 32, 36, 37 and the The axis of the brake wheel 39 is approximately vertically above this Axis so that it is provided in the uppermost area of the unit 20 is, while the runners 21, 32, 36, 37 in the lowest area the unit 20 and the wheel 33 approximately in the middle of whose height is.
- a blocking device 40 is provided to the feed mechanism 19 regardless of the voltage or To be able to stop the presence of the towel rail.
- a brake lever 41 which is on its upper end carries a friction brake member 42 and is rotationally fixed is connected to the sensor 29.
- the sensor 29 is from its swivel shaft diagonally downwards and forwards and in the operating position, namely in the presence of the web 10 in the
- the push button 30 projects the lever 41 approximately vertically upwards, so that the brake member 42 from the outer periphery of the brake wheel 39th is lifted off.
- the control wheel 33 acts on a movable actuation or Switching element, namely a control lever 43, which of its the lower swivel axis protrudes freely above the largest Part of the height of the unit 20 is sufficient and between the axes the runner 23, 33 on the one hand and the runner 21, 32, 36, 37, 39 and the gear 38 on the other hand.
- a control lever 43 At the top free
- a suction cup 44 of the timer 22 which one is fixed to the base body or the unit 20 mounted suction cup is opposite so that the suction cups with a pivoting movement of the lever 43 to the rear their upright bowl edges in pressure-tight engagement reach.
- a limiting device 50 which acts on one of the runners, in particular the wheel 33.
- the unit 20 On the cross made up of sidewalls and trusses to the side walls no basic body the unit 20 is a locking member 48 stop limited in the vertical direction movable, in particular linearly displaceable, that essentially above the wheel 33 in front of the End of the lever 43 is located and a stop at the lower end 49 for the wheel 33 carries.
- This has a counter stop on the face a cam 51, which in the upper end position indented locking member 48 against the stop 49 during Deduction accumulates and thereby further deduction as well as the Elevator drive for the energy store 21 in a form-fitting manner blocked.
- the limit 50 also works when the timer 22nd or the lever 43 is not provided. To this end, contributes the wheel 33 in a plane offset from the cam 45 and this cam 45 approximately diametrically opposite one another control cam 54, which rises more steeply than the cam 45 and in their path of movement a cam follower, e.g. one for Stop surface of transverse stop surface of stop 49 lies. With each rotation of the wheel 33, the control cam can therefore 54 the locking member 48 immediately once in its engagement position transfer immediately before the cam 51 strikes.
- a backstop 55 is provided, the expediently directly on the wheel 33 or its outer circumference works.
- the lock 55 has one above the wheel 33 in one Bearing 56 movable or pivotable locking member, such as one protruding backwards and downwards from the bearing 56 Locking lever 57 on, the free end as in a locking toothing Interlocking pawl designed in the manner of a freewheel is.
- the locking member 57 is located between the locking member 48 and the outside of the associated bearing cheek. To the locked position is the lever 57 by an actuating force, in particular only burdened by weight.
- This pawl has in Return direction a small movement game, e.g.
- the locking lever 57 to the associated end of this movement game is limited by stops due to its friction against the blocking surfaces or the Locking teeth taken. Is the deduction finished and thereby the towel rail is released from the manual tension, the energy store 21 drives the wheel 33 via the wheel 36 in the return direction, which is the indented Lock lever 57 to the other end of the game takes and then the lock occurs.
- the cam rotor 46 is in its working position with a lock 61, e.g. one immediately behind its tread lying latch nose 62 secured, which is a latch shoulder of the lever 43 engages behind. In this position it is elongated pin-shaped cam rotor 46 or the latch 62 transversely to its working movement, namely across its longitudinal direction movable relative to the lever 43 in one of the Return direction of the wheel 33 or the cam 45 corresponding Direction. With this return movement, the bolt is released 62 released and the cam rotor 46 can in the sense of Take off from the cam 45 relative to the lever 43 in one Rest position are transferred linearly.
- a lock 61 e.g. one immediately behind its tread lying latch nose 62 secured, which is a latch shoulder of the lever 43 engages behind. In this position it is elongated pin-shaped cam rotor 46 or the latch 62 transversely to its working movement, namely across its longitudinal direction movable relative to the lever 43 in one of the Return direction of the wheel 33 or the cam 45 corresponding Direction
- the wheel 33 has a complete trigger rotation up to the stop the cam 51 is not executed and the cam 45 remains are therefore under pressure on the cam follower 46, so causes the small return path of the cam 45 their frictional engagement in the cam rotor 46, that it is unlocked immediately after the Timer 22 and the brake member 47 have been engaged. Now disengages the timer 22, the reset of the Lever 43 and the disengagement of the link 47 despite the fact that Cam 45 on cam follower 46 is not hindered because of the cam follower 46 in this case against the spring force acting on it can dodge, namely opposite the lever 43 in a storage pocket is moved backwards.
- a retraction block 58 is provided, which expediently directly on the rotor of the energy store 21 or the feed roller 32 acts.
- the retraction lock 58 can pull out two or three turns of the feed roller 32 limit these rotations are opposite to the feed rotation.
- the withdrawal lock 58 can work in the manner of a Maltese drive and points to A toothed cam 59 in a recess in the outer circumference of the rotor on that radially slightly further across the bottom of the recess protrudes as the rest of the continuously circular outer circumference of the rotor, which is only interrupted by the recess is.
- a disc-shaped control body 60 rotatable stored, which on the outer circumference like a Maltese cross one corresponding to the number of revolutions desired Number of engagement gaps 63, which is narrow are adapted to the tooth 59. Between adjacent gaps 63 are radially protruding holding surfaces forming peripheral surfaces 64 provided on which the continuous circumference slides, if the tooth 59 runs away from the control body 60 so that this is then secured against tax movements. In the direction its control movement is the control body 60 by a spring charged.
- tooth 59 is in accordance with the retraction movement 5 and 6 rotated to the left, he gives the first Holding cams 64 free on its associated flank, the control body 60 turns a little bit under the spring force right-facing and then engages the peripheral surface of the rotor so in the holding surface 64 that a further rotation of the Control body 60 is prevented until tooth 59 the next Passes gap 63, this with the mentioned effect again releases and then the next holding surface 64, the rotation lock takes over.
- the last gap 53 is followed by a blocking surface 65, against which tooth 59 at the last or third return rotation runs up, so that the return or feed roller 32 against another backward rotation is positively locked.
- the tooth 59 switches the control body 60 in a correspondingly reverse manner step by step from Gap to gap 63 back to the starting position. Is the Number of retraction turns greater than that of retraction turns, so the control body 60 after reaching the Starting position in this way as described the peripheral surface of the rotor secured. Also by the retreat rotation the spring of the energy store 21 is tensioned, so that a simultaneous tension both over the take-off roller 23 as well as via the feed roller 32.
- the movable functional elements according to Figs. 5 and 6, e.g. the individual gear stages and cam controls are like this in different, directly adjacent to each other Levels arranged on the outside of the associated bearing cheek, that they can be accommodated in the smallest of spaces and only a very small one compared to the width of the towel rail Widen the housing.
- the counterpart 31 for the sensor 29 could also be replaced by a roller, e.g. the feed roller be formed, especially if these are separate from a roller driving the roller 14 is provided.
- the Bearing cheeks have 20 hook-shaped on the back of the unit Fasteners 66 so that the unit 20 at open housing after only slightly lifting forward removed from the base body 2 and in the reverse manner can also be used again.
- the fasteners 66 engage in openings in the rear wall 3, on the outside thereof Project ledges with which the donor to to be attached to a wall. Should the wound Roll 14 are removed, so it can be upwards from it Connection with the unit 20, possibly with the carrier 15 by plant, lifted out and forward from the Base body 2 can be removed. It is also conceivable that First pull in the towel rail without winding it onto the roll 14 and temporarily store in a separate room until this towel part is wound up with a time delay. During this time this part of the towel can dry and e.g. be stored in the housing-shaped projection 27, the then expediently about as wide as the web 10. This Space can also be opened by opening the cover 9. Instead of pivoting, the carrier 15 can also be approximately linear be slidably mounted.
