Abstract

Towel dispensers installed in public washrooms have the disavantage of being cumbersome to handle, in particular when exchanging used towel rollers. In the disclosed process, the beginning of a towel is threaded for example by closing the lid of the apparatus, triggering a movement or rotation and guiding and rolling the towel after forming a loop. An appropriate device has roller (7, 8 ,11), a roller (7) mounted on the rear wall and a roller (11) mounted on the side wall of the dispenser (1). Conveyor and guiding elements (14; 15) separate clean material (2) from used material (2'). The invention may be combined with known components of already installed towel dispensers, providing the same with an automatic towel threading capacity.

Description

Einfädelung von flächigem Bandmaterial in einem Hand¬ tuchspender Threading flat strip material in a towel dispenser
Die vorliegende Erfindung bezieht sich auf ein Verfahren nach dem Oberbegriff der Ansprüche 1 oder 2.The present invention relates to a method according to the preamble of claims 1 or 2.
Bekannte Handtuchspender sind vor allem in viel oder öffentlich benutzten Waschräumen installiert und bedürfen einer intensiven Wartung. Sie sind zudem relativ kompli¬ ziert aufgebaut und entsprechend unpraktisch in ihrer Hand- habung.Known towel dispensers are mainly installed in washrooms that are used frequently or in public and require intensive maintenance. In addition, they have a relatively complicated structure and are accordingly impractical to handle.
Es ist daher Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung das Einfä¬ deln und damit auch das Auswechseln der Handtuchrollen zu vereinfachen und geeignete Vorrichtungen zur Realisierung anzugeben.It is therefore an object of the present invention to simplify the threading and thus also the replacement of the towel rolls and to specify suitable devices for implementation.
Erfindungsgemäss wird dies durch die Merkmale der Ansprüche 1, 2 und 3 gelöst.According to the invention this is solved by the features of claims 1, 2 and 3.
Die Vorteile des Verfahrens nach Anspruch 1 sind insbeson¬ dere darin zu sehen, dass dieses kein kompliziertes Manipu¬ lieren beim Einfädeln des Bandmaterials erfordert. Der not- wendige Vorgang ist somit auf das Wechseln bzw. den Aus¬ tausch der benutzten gegen eine saubere Rolle reduziert.The advantages of the method according to claim 1 are to be seen in particular in the fact that it does not require any complicated manipulation when threading the strip material. The necessary process is thus reduced to changing or exchanging the used rolls for a clean roll.
Anspruch 2 weist den Vorteil eines automatischen und voll¬ ständigen Wickeins des verschmutzten Tuchendes auf;",dieses braucht hierfür nicht berührt zu werden.Claim 2 has the advantage of automatic and complete wrapping of the dirty cloth end; "this need not be touched for this.
Die Vorrichtung nach Anspruch 3 erleichtert die Handhabung beträchtlich, wird dabei doch das Bandmaterial durch den Schliessvorgang gefasst und geführt bzw. und analog beim Vorgang des Öffnens, freigegeben. Die zweckmässige Ausgestaltung nach Anspruch 4 dient der hygienischen Trennung von benutztem Bandmaterial vom saube¬ ren.The device according to claim 3 considerably simplifies handling, since the strip material is gripped and guided by the closing process and / or released analogously during the opening process. The expedient embodiment according to claim 4 serves for the hygienic separation of used strip material from the clean one.
Die Lösung nach Anspruch 5 ermöglicht den besonders einfa- chen Start des Wickelvorgangs und auch eine entsprechend leichte Ablösung des gewickelten Bandmaterials vom Wickel¬ körper.The solution according to claim 5 enables the winding process to be started particularly easily and also enables the wound strip material to be detached from the winding body in a correspondingly simple manner.
Die Weiterbildung nach Anspruch 6 lässt sich mit permanen¬ ten Magneten oder Elektromagneten lösen; eventuelle Elektromagnete weisen den Vorteil auf, dass sie nur imThe development according to claim 6 can be solved with permanent magnets or electromagnets; possible electromagnets have the advantage that they are only in the
Startintervall des Wickelvorgangs in Betrieb sein müssen.Start interval of the winding process must be in operation.
Leicht handhabbar sind auch rohrförmige Rollen gemäss An¬ spruch 7, sie werden beim Rückschub des benutzten Tuchs vorteilhafterweise in der Rolle belassen und sind entspre- chend leicht auszuführen.Tubular rolls according to claim 7 are also easy to handle; they are advantageously left in the roll when the used cloth is pushed back and are accordingly easy to carry out.
Die Variante nach Anspruch 8 ergibt eine rein mechanische Automatisierung des Einfädeins und des Wiederbeginns.The variant according to claim 8 results in a purely mechanical automation of threading and restarting.
Die bevorzugte Trennung des sauberen vom benutzten Bereich ist in Anspruch 9 beschrieben.The preferred separation of the clean from the used area is described in claim 9.
Die Weiterbildung nach Anspruch 10 ist besonders raumspa¬ rend und wirtschaftlich.The development according to claim 10 is particularly space-saving and economical.

In Fig. 1 ist vereinfacht ein Apparateghäuse mit 1 bezeich¬ net, welches mit seiner Rückseite R, beipielsweise an einer Wand einer öffentlichen Toilette, neben den Lavabos mon- tiert ist.In FIG. 1, an apparatus housing is shown in simplified form with 1, which is mounted with its rear side R, for example on a wall of a public toilet, next to the wash basins.
Angedeutet ist ein aufklappbarer Deckel la, dessen über Scharniere lb geöffnete Position, mit la ' bezeichnet und dargestellt ist.A hinged lid 1 a is indicated, the position of which is opened and shown by hinges 1 b, is designated and represented by 1 a '.
Eine notorisch bekannte Handtuchrolle 2a, mit Bandmaterial 2, ist hier auf mehrere vertikale, kreis-konkav ausge¬ schnittene Lager-Rippen 4 eingelegt; eine weiter vorsprin¬ gende Rippe 5, dient - beidseitig - als Träger und Lager für eine Achse 6 mit einer zylindrischen Umlenk-Rolle 7. Das Tuch 2 hängt, nach dem richtigen Einlegen mit seinem Anfangsteil 20 mit einer eingenähten Leiste 20' über eine erste Schwenkrolle 19 geführt, frei beweglich.A notoriously known towel roll 2a, with band material 2, is placed here on several vertical, circular-concave cut-out bearing ribs 4; a further projecting rib 5 serves - on both sides - as a support and bearing for an axis 6 with a cylindrical deflection roller 7. The cloth 2 hangs, after the correct insertion with its initial part 20 with a sewn-in strip 20 ', guided over a first swivel roller 19, freely movable.
Die einzige Achse 18 der Schwenkrolle 19 ist endseitig in je zwei, einander gegenüberliegenden, schwenkbaren Lager- Supports 17 gelagert, welche ihrerseits, zusammen mit einem inneren, hohlzylindrischen Führungselement 15 schwenkbar in Achse und Lager 26 in zwei Rollenträgern 16 geführt ist. Die Achse 26 treibt eine Wickelrolle 27 mit einer magneti¬ schen Nut 25.The single axis 18 of the swivel roller 19 is supported at the ends in two mutually opposite, pivotable bearing supports 17, which in turn, together with an inner, hollow-cylindrical guide element 15, is pivotably guided in the axis and bearing 26 in two roller carriers 16. The axis 26 drives a winding roller 27 with a magnetic groove 25.
Nach hinten gedreht ist hier eine zweite Schwenkrolle 11, mit Achse 12, welche mit ihrem Lager-Support 13 und einem äusseren Führungselement 14 ebenfalls um die Achse 26 dreh- bar ist.Turned backwards here is a second swivel castor 11 with axis 12, which with its bearing support 13 and an outer guide element 14 can also be rotated about axis 26.
Darunter befinden sich sogenannte Glätterollen 23 und 24, deren Achsen 21 bzw 22 in rechteckförmigen Rollenträgern 28 frei rotierbar gelagert sind.Underneath there are so-called smoothing rollers 23 and 24, the axes 21 and 22 of which are freely rotatably mounted in rectangular roller carriers 28.
Wird eine saubere Handtuchrolle 2a auf die bogenförmigen Lager-Rippen 4 gelegt, so positioniert sich diese gemässIf a clean towel roll 2a is placed on the arched bearing ribs 4, it is positioned according to
Fig. 1. Durch ein kurzes manuelles Ziehen am Anfangsteil 20 wird die ferromagnetische Leiste 20 ' in die ebensolche magnetische Nut 25 gezogen und festgehalten.Fig. 1. By a short manual pull on the starting part 20, the ferromagnetic bar 20 'is pulled into the same magnetic groove 25 and held.
Dieser Vorgang ist in Fig. 1 durch zwei Pfeile charakteri- siert.This process is characterized by two arrows in FIG. 1.
Durch ein darauffolgendes Schliessen des Deckels la mit Seitenwänden S, schwenken die Rollen 11 und 19 in die in Fig. 2 gezeichnete Lage; gleichzeitig wird eine im Deckel la mittels Lager-Supports 9 geführte Führungsrolle 8 in die gezeichnete Lage gebracht und auch die Achse 26 gedreht; wodurch die Rolle 27 - in Fig. 2 verdeckt, in Fig. 1 sicht¬ bar - das Bandmaterial 2 bzw. 2' aufwickelt.By subsequently closing the lid la with side walls S, the rollers 11 and 19 pivot into the position shown in FIG. 2; at the same time a guide roller 8 guided in the cover la by means of bearing supports 9 is brought into the position shown and the axis 26 is also rotated; whereby the roll 27 - covered in FIG. 2, visible in FIG. 1 - winds up the strip material 2 or 2 '.
Die beiden Führungselemente 14 und 15 ziehen auf ihrem Schwenkweg weiteres Bandmaterial nach, wodurch sich die in Fig. 2 angedeutete Schlaufe 3 bildet, die in bekannterThe two guide elements 14 and 15 pull further strip material on their swivel path, as a result of which the loop 3 indicated in FIG. 2 is formed, which in a known manner
Weise aus dem Apparategehäuse 1 hängt und dem Händetrocknen dient.Hangs out of the apparatus housing 1 and is used for drying hands.
Eine bevorzugte Art der Kraftübertragung vom Deckel la zur Schwenkvorrichtung ist in Fig. 3 dargestellt.A preferred type of power transmission from the lid la to the swivel device is shown in Fig. 3.
Gegenüber Fig. 1 ist hier ein zusätzlicher Betätigungshebel 30 ersichtlich, welcher in einer Ausnehmung 31 durch einen Schraubbolzen 34 mit Flansch geführt ist; sein linearer Verschiebweg ist durch einen Doppelpfeil charakterisiert. Auf einer Stirnseite weist der Hebel 30 eine Verzahnung 32 auf, welche in ein, auf der Achse 26 aufgesetztes Stirnrad 35 eingreift.Compared to FIG. 1, an additional actuating lever 30 can be seen here, which is guided in a recess 31 by a screw bolt 34 with a flange; its linear displacement is characterized by a double arrow. On one end face, the lever 30 has a toothing 32 which engages in a spur gear 35 placed on the axis 26.
Ein Schwenkhebel 44 ist an seinem hinteren Ende am Schar¬ nier lb gelagert und über einen Mitnehmer 33 mit dem Betätigungshebel 30 gekoppelt.A pivot lever 44 is mounted at its rear end on the hinge 1b and is coupled to the actuating lever 30 via a driver 33.
Die Betätigung des Schwenkhebels in Pfeilrichtung B, wel¬ cher, wie dargestellt, auch ohne Kopplung an einen Deckel la' realisierbar ist, resultiert somit in einem automati¬ schen Einfädeln des Bandmaterials 2 sowie der Initiierung des Aufwickeins des benutzten Materials 2', (vgl. Fig. 2).The actuation of the pivoting lever in the direction of arrow B, which, as shown, can also be implemented without coupling to a cover 1 a ', thus results in automatic threading of the strip material 2 and the initiation of winding up of the used material 2', (cf. Fig. 2).
Gleichzeitig bewirken die beiden Führungselemente 14 und 15 den notwendigen Auszug des Bandmaterials 2 zu einer Schlaufe und die Separierung von benutztem Bandmaterial 2 ' vom sauberem Material 2. Als Weg- und Zeitbegrenzung für die Tuchlänge können die allgemein bekannten Mittel verwendet werden, die zumeist mit Saugnäpfen und Sperrgliedern arbeiten.At the same time, the two guide elements 14 and 15 bring about the necessary extraction of the strip material 2 into a loop and the separation of the strip material 2 ′ used from the clean material 2. The generally known means, which mostly work with suction cups and locking members, can be used as a path and time limit for the length of the cloth.
Es ist offensichtlich, dass - nach der vollständigen Benut- zung der Rolle 2a zum Händetrocknen - durch ein Weiterbewe¬ gen des Betätigungshebels 30 bzw. des Schwenkhebels 44 über die im Betrieb übliche Position hinaus, dieser den restlo¬ sen Einzug des benutzten Bandmaterials 2' ermöglicht.It is obvious that - after the roller 2a has been completely used for drying hands - by moving the actuating lever 30 or the pivoting lever 44 beyond the position normally used in operation, this causes the tape material 2 'to be drawn in completely. enables.
Der Antrieb des Hebels 30 kann in an sich bekannter Weise durch eine Feder oder einen Elektromotor erfolgen, welche aktiviert sind, wenn die Rolle 2a abgewickelt ist bzw. nicht mehr auf den Lager-Rippen 4 aufliegt.The lever 30 can be driven in a manner known per se by a spring or an electric motor, which are activated when the roller 2a is unwound or no longer rests on the bearing ribs 4.
Die nachfolgend beschriebenen weiteren Varianten zur Ausge¬ staltung der Wickelrolle und des entsprechenden Anfangs- teils des Tuchs sind je nach Antrieb des Spenders - ma¬ nuell, elektrisch oder elektromechanisch mit elektronischer Steuerung - mehr oder weniger zweckmässig und adaptierbar auf den spezifischen Fall.Depending on the drive of the dispenser - manually, electrically or electromechanically with electronic control - the further variants described below for designing the winding roll and the corresponding initial part of the cloth are more or less expedient and adaptable to the specific case.
Die rohrförmige Wickelrolle 27', Fig. 4 weist zwei einander gegenüberliegende Längsnuten 25' auf, welche eingangsseitig verbreitert sind. In die Nut 25' wir das Anfangsteil 20 mit seiner Leiste 20' eingeschoben und mit einem Mitnehmer¬ flansch 36 mit einem Mitnehmer 38 versehen. Auf der Gegen¬ seite erhält die Wickelrolle 27' einen Gegenflansch 37; beide Flansche sind durch eine Vierkantstange 39 mit einerThe tubular winding roll 27 ', FIG. 4 has two mutually opposite longitudinal grooves 25', which are widened on the input side. The starting part 20 with its bar 20 'is inserted into the groove 25' and provided with a driver flange 36 with a driver 38. On the opposite side, the winding roll 27 'has a counter flange 37; both flanges are connected by a square rod 39 with a
Lagerstelle verbunden.Depository connected.
Nach Fig. 5 besitzt die Wickelrolle 27" eine Vielzahl von Nuten, in welche das Anfangsteil 20", welches gemäss Fig. 5a gliederartig ausgestaltet ist, eingeschoben wird.According to FIG. 5, the winding roll 27 "has a plurality of grooves into which the initial part 20", which is designed like a link according to FIG. 5a, is inserted.
Zur Erleichterung des Einschiebvorgangs dienen seitlicheLateral serve to facilitate the insertion process
Führungsbleche 40, welche, wie angedeutet, durch Steuer- gestänge 41 lateral verschiebbar sind. Die notwendige Vor¬ schubbewegung des Anfangsteils 20" erfolgt über zusätzliche Schieber 43, welche in Lamellen-Nuten 42 eingreifen.Guide plates 40, which, as indicated, by control linkage 41 are laterally displaceable. The necessary advance movement of the initial part 20 "takes place via additional slides 43 which engage in lamella grooves 42.
Der eigentliche Aufrollvorgang ist in Fig. 6 in den Phasen I bis IV dargestellt; aus Gründen der Übersichtlichkeit sind jeweils nur die im Einfädelvorgang aktiven Nuten 25" sowie die dazu benachbarten dargestellt; die Phase IV zeigt das reguläre Aufwickeln.The actual reeling process is shown in Fig. 6 in phases I to IV; for reasons of clarity, only the grooves 25 "that are active in the threading process and the ones adjacent to them are shown; phase IV shows the regular winding.
Es hat sich gezeigt, dass ein fixes Anbringen des Bandmate- rials 2' gemäss Fig. 5a beim Waschen (in entsprechenden Ma¬ schinen) Probleme ergeben kann, ebenso beim anschliessenden Heiss-Mangel . Es empfiehlt sich deshalb, das Teil mit den gliederartigen Leisten 20" über einen Klettenverschluss am Bandmaterial lösbar anzubringen.It has been shown that a fixed attachment of the strip material 2 'according to FIG. 5a can cause problems during washing (in corresponding machines), as well as with the subsequent hot defect. It is therefore advisable to detachably attach the part with the link-like strips 20 "to the strip material using a Velcro fastener.
Besonders bewährt haben sich Wickeldorne nach Fig. 7 und Wickelfedern nach Fig. 8.Winding mandrels according to FIG. 7 and winding springs according to FIG. 8 have proven particularly useful.
Gemäss Fig. 7 befindet sich am noch sauberen Bandmaterial 2 ein Bund 2a' mit beidseitigen Schlaufen-Öffnungen mit einer Weite A der Schlaufen-Öffnung.According to FIG. 7, on the still clean band material 2 there is a collar 2a 'with loop openings on both sides with a width A of the loop opening.
Dieser Bund 2a' lässt sich in einfacher Weise mittels Näh¬ ten als Saum 2b ausbilden und stört beim Waschen und Man¬ geln nicht.This waistband 2a 'can be formed in a simple manner by means of seams as a hem 2b and does not interfere with washing and lacking.
Bei der Inbetriebnahme des Handtuchspenders wird somit ein Wickeldorn 27a in den Bund 2a' eingeschoben und die Achse 26 entsprechend positioniert. Der Wickeldorn 27a weist auf seiner Achse 26 Längs-Rippen 50 und Quer-Rippen 51 auf; zu¬ dem befindet sich rechtsseitig ein dem Transport dienendes Zahnrad, ein Stirnrad 35. Der Wickeldorn 27a gewährleistet einen einfachen und siche¬ ren Beginn des Wickelvorgangs zur Bildung der Rolle mit dem benutzten Bandmaterial 2 ' .When the towel dispenser is started up, a winding mandrel 27a is thus inserted into the collar 2a 'and the axis 26 is positioned accordingly. The winding mandrel 27a has longitudinal ribs 50 and transverse ribs 51 on its axis 26; there is also a gear wheel on the right-hand side, a spur gear 35. The winding mandrel 27a ensures a simple and safe start of the winding process for forming the roll with the strip material 2 'used.
Die Variante gemäss Fig. 8 benötigt einen Bund 2a' von ge- ringerer Weite A' und stellt dementsprechend eine günstige Weiterbildung zu Fig. 7 dar.The variant according to FIG. 8 requires a collar 2a 'of smaller width A' and accordingly represents a favorable further development to FIG. 7.
Dabei wird eine Wickelfeder 27b verwendet, welche eine ein- federbare Seitenfeder 52 aufweist, welche in einer Einfede- rungs-Sicke 53 axial beweglich ist. Das rechtsseitige auf der Achse 26 befestigte fixe Teil geht in eine kurzeIn this case, a coil spring 27b is used, which has a resilient side spring 52, which is axially movable in a compression bead 53.
