AVEC DISPOSITIF SELECTEURWITH SELECTOR DEVICE
L'invention se rattache au secteur technique des appareils distributeurs de papier d'essuyage du type papier essuie-main, papier toilette, papier essuie-tout et similaires à fonctionnement automatique ou semi-automatique.The invention relates to the technical sector of dispensing devices for wiping paper of the paper towel, toilet paper, paper towel and similar type of automatic or semi-automatic.
Il existe déjà de nombreux appareils distributeurs de papier d'essuyage notamment développés par le Demandeur assurant une distribution soit dans le cadre d'un fonctionnement automatique par suite d'une simple traction du papier par l'utilisateur, soit dans le cadre d'un fonctionnement semi-automatique exigeant l'utilisation d'un levier de manoeuvre. Ces appareils distributeurs ont un fonctionnement fiable mais la mise en oeuvre de la sélection du mode de fonctionnement n'est pas toujours très facile à mettre en oeuvre et exige une multiplication de pièces. Très souvent, les dispositifs actuels à fonctionnement semi-automatique exigent l'intervention ou la manipulation, à plusieurs reprises, du levier de manoeuvre pour faire sortir la bande de papier hors de l'appareil.There are already many wiping paper dispensing devices in particular developed by the Applicant ensuring distribution either in the context of automatic operation following a simple pulling of the paper by the user, or in the context of a semi-automatic operation requiring the use of an operating lever. These dispensing devices have reliable operation but the implementation of the selection of the operating mode is not always very easy to implement and requires a multiplication of parts. Very often, current devices with semi-automatic operation require intervention or manipulation, repeatedly, of the operating lever to bring the strip of paper out of the device.
Le but recherché selon l'invention était donc de concevoir un dispositif qui soit d'une grande simplicité pour l'opérateur, qui puisse être manipulé, après une visualisation aisée des modes de fonctionnement automatique ou semi-automatique. Un autre but recherché était de concevoir un appareil avec un minimum de pièces et composants du dispositif.The aim sought after according to the invention was therefore to design a device which is very simple for the operator, which can be manipulated, after easy viewing of the automatic or semi-automatic operating modes. Another goal sought was to design a device with a minimum of parts and components of the device.
Un autre but recherché était d'obtenir, après le mode de sélection en distribution semi-automatique, la sortie de la bande de papier de l'appareil par une seule manoeuvre de l'opérateur.Another goal sought was to obtain, after the selection mode in semi-automatic distribution, the exit of the paper strip from the apparatus by a single maneuver by the operator.
Ces buts et d'autres encore ressortiront bien de la suite de la ® description.These and other purposes will become apparent from the remainder of the 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.
L'appareil distributeur de papier d'essuyage est référencé dans son ensemble par (1 ). Il permet la distribution en automatique ou en semi-automatique de bandes de papier à usage essuie-main, essuie-tout, papier toilette. Ces bandes peuvent être présentées à plat non pliées ou pliées, selon des techniques et moyens décrits dans de nombreux brevets développés par le Demandeur.The wiping paper dispenser is referenced as a whole by (1). It allows automatic or semi-automatic distribution of strips of paper for hand towel, paper towel, toilet paper. These strips can be presented flat unfolded or folded, according to techniques and means described in numerous patents developed by the Applicant.
Avant de décrire les caractéristiques du dispositif sélecteur de fonctionnement automatique ou semi-automatique, il convient de rappeler préalablement les dispositions générales connues de ce type d'appareil. Il est précisé que le dispositif sélecteur objet de la présente invention n'est pas strictement limité à l'agencement des composants connus qui seront exposés ci-après à titre d'exemples.Before describing the characteristics of the automatic or semi-automatic operating selector device, it is advisable to recall beforehand the known general provisions of this type of device. It is specified that the selector device which is the subject of the present invention is not strictly limited to the arrangement of the known components which will be explained below by way of examples.
L'appareil comprend un carter (2) réalisé en tout matériau, sur lequel s'articule par l'avant un couvercle (3). Le carter présente des parois latérales ou est agencé avec des flasques susceptibles de recevoir et de permettre le positionnement transversal d'un tambour (4) associé à un dispositif de coupe intégré (5). Ce tambour, avec dispositif de coupe, est notamment décrit dans le brevet français N. 2.332.21 5. Il utilise notamment sur l'un des côtés transversaux de l'appareil, pour assurer la mise en rotation et le lancement du tambour, un levier à excentrique (6) monté sur l'axe du tambour susceptible de recevoir un moyen de rappel élastique (7) permettant son lancement afin d'assurer une coupe rapide et franche du papier.The apparatus comprises a casing (2) made of any material, on which is articulated by the front a cover (3). The casing has side walls or is arranged with flanges capable of receiving and allowing the transverse positioning of a drum (4) associated with an integrated cutting device (5). This drum, with cutting device, is described in particular in French patent N. 2,332.21 5. It uses in particular on one of the transverse sides of the apparatus, to ensure the rotation and the launching of the drum, a eccentric lever (6) mounted on the axis of the drum capable of receiving an elastic return means (7) allowing it to be launched in order to ensure rapid and clean cutting of the paper.
Au-dessus du tambour, est prévu, toujours selon l'art antérieur, un élément presseur (8) en appui sur le tambour, la bande de papier étant introduite entre ses deux composants en provenance d'une bobine ou rouleau de matériau (R) disposée entre les flasques supérieurs du carter. Le rouleau et l'élément presseur sont maintenus de toute manière appropriée sur les flasques précitées par encliquetage par exemple.Above the drum, there is provided, still according to the prior art, a pressing element (8) bearing on the drum, the strip of paper being introduced between its two components coming from a reel or roll of material (R ) arranged between the upper flanges of the casing. The roller and the pressing element are held in any suitable manner on the abovementioned flanges by snap-fastening for example.
Le tambour est aménagé, sur sa face opposée à celle recevant l'excentrique, avec un bouton de manoeuvre (9) disposé axialement et permettant l'enclenchement du fonctionnement de la partie initiale de la bande.The drum is arranged, on its face opposite to that receiving the eccentric, with an operating button (9) arranged axially and allowing the engagement of the operation of the initial part of the strip.
Ces éléments généraux étant rappelés, il convient maintenant d'exposer le dispositif sélecteur selon l'invention qui permet, d'une manière rapide, la transformation de l'appareil en fonction automatique ou semi-automatique. A cet effet et selon l'invention, le dispositif sélecteur du mode de fonctionnement de l'appareil en version automatique ou semi-automatique, comprend un premier organe (10) formant double levier à branches opposées (10a - 10b) présentant, dans sa partie médiane (10c), une ouverture (1 Od) ou trou susceptible de s'engager sur un point fixe du type tenon ( 1 1 ) de forme complémentaire disposé à l'extrémité avant du flasque en regard du carter. Ce double levier comprend une première branche (10a) profilée orientée vers l'extérieur de l'appareil et formant un plan d'appui (1 0e) pour le positionnement du pouce de l'utilisateur. Avantageusement, une indication ou marquage est inscrit sur le plan d'appui précité avec dans l'exemple représenté la mention "PUSH". L'autre branche (1 0b) de ce levier double est agencée, à son extrémité, avec une forme en double crochet coudé (l Of) dont l'extrémité (10g) est recourbée pour venir s'engager dans un évidement (4a) cylindrique formé sur le flasque d'extrémité (4b) en regard du tambour. Ce double levier est monté libre en pivotement sur son axe-tenon.These general elements being recalled, it is now necessary to expose the selector device according to the invention which allows, in a rapid manner, the transformation of the device into automatic or semi-automatic function. To this end and according to the invention, the device for selecting the operating mode of the device in automatic or semi-automatic version, comprises a first member (10) forming a double lever with opposite branches (10a - 10b) having, in its middle part (10c), an opening (1 Od) or hole capable of engaging on a fixed point of the tenon type (1 1) of complementary shape disposed at the front end of the flange facing the casing. This double lever comprises a first profiled branch (10a) oriented towards the outside of the device and forming a support plane (10e) for positioning the thumb of the user. Advantageously, an indication or marking is written on the abovementioned support plan with in the example shown the mention "PUSH". The other branch (10b) of this double lever is arranged, at its end, with a form of double bent hook (l Of), the end (10g) of which is curved to engage a recess (4a) cylindrical formed on the end flange (4b) opposite the drum. This double lever is pivotally mounted on its pin axis.
Le dispositif sélecteur comprend un deuxième composant défini par une manette (1 2) qui est positionnée et centrée par rapport à l'axe d'articulation (1 1 ) du double levier. A cet effet, ladite manette présente un flanc (1 2a) aménagé avec une ouverture oblongue (1 2b) susceptible de permettre son engagement et son passage autour d'un axe en saillie (13) établi en débordement sur le tenon (1 1 ). Ladite manette présente sur son flanc un doigt (14) permettant la fixation d'un moyen de rappel (1 5) du type ressort dont une première extrémité (1 5a) est fixée sur le doigt et l'autre extrémité (1 5b) est fixée sur un point de saillie (1 6) formé sur le flasque du carter. La manette présente également une patte (1 2c) de profil quasiment identique au plan d'appui du double levier (10), de sorte que ladite patte est susceptible de venir en superposition sur le plan d'appui. Sur la patte, est inscrite sur sa face de dessous, par exemple la mention "STOP", et sur sa face de dessus, par exemple la représentation d'une flèche. Ainsi, lorsque la manette est en appui sur le double levier la mention "PUSH" apparaissant sur la patte est cachée, et seule apparaît la face de dessus de la manette avec la représentation d'une flèche.The selector device comprises a second component defined by a lever (1 2) which is positioned and centered relative to the axis of articulation (1 1) of the double lever. To this end, said lever has a side (1 2a) arranged with an oblong opening (1 2b) capable of allowing its engagement and its passage around a projecting axis (13) established in overflow on the post (1 1) . Said lever has on its side a finger (14) allowing the fixing of a return means (1 5) of the spring type, a first end (1 5a) is fixed on the finger and the other end (1 5b) is fixed on a point of projection (1 6) formed on the flange of the housing. The lever also has a tab (1 2c) of profile almost identical to the support surface of the double lever (10), so that said tab is capable of coming to be superimposed on the support plane. On the tab, is written on its underside, for example the mention "STOP", and on its top face, for example the representation of an arrow. Thus, when the lever is supported on the double lever the mention "PUSH" appearing on the tab is hidden, and only appears the top face of the lever with the representation of an arrow.
Ainsi qu'indiqué précédemment, le tambour (4) est agencé avec un évidement intérieur (4a) circulaire du côté du bouton de manoeuvre et en regard du double levier. Ainsi que représenté figure 10, il est disposé sur la périphérie extérieure de la cavité une saillie (18) formant butée anti-retour dans le cadre du fonctionnement en automatique de l'appareil distributeur. En outre et autour de l'axe du tambour, est disposée une came (19) profilée présentant une forme en bec (1 9a) constituant une butée anti-retour dans le cadre du fonctionnement semi-automatique de l'appareil.As indicated above, the drum (4) is arranged with a circular internal recess (4a) on the side of the operating button and facing the double lever. As shown in Figure 10, there is disposed on the outer periphery of the cavity a projection (18) forming a non-return stop in the context of automatic operation of the dispensing device. In addition and around the axis of the drum, is arranged a profiled cam (19) having a beak shape (1 9a) constituting a non-return stop in the context of the semi-automatic operation of the device.
II convient maintenant d'exposer le fonctionnement de l'appareil dans les deux versions de positions du dispositif sélecteur en distribution automatique puis en distribution semi-automatique, en se référant aux figures des dessins.It is now appropriate to describe the operation of the device in the two versions of positions of the selector device in automatic distribution and then in semi-automatic distribution, with reference to the figures of the drawings.
En se référant aux figures 1 et 2, l'appareil distributeur est à fonctionnement automatique. Dans ce cas-là, la manette (12) se trouve positionnée en superposition de la partie patte du double levier. Elle est maintenue en position, ainsi que le double levier, grâce à l'effet de rappel du moyen élastique (1 5) directement associé à la manette. De par cet effet, la partie crochet du double levier est reculée vers l'avant de l'appareil, de manière à suivre le profil intérieur externe de la cavité cylindrique du tambour. La butée anti-retour évite la rotation en sens inverse du tambour. Durant cette mise en oeuvre, le levier excentrique et son ressort de rappel disposé de l'autre côté du tambour fonctionne normalement et après distribution d'une section de bande de papier, le ressort associé au levier excentrique de lancement du tambour reprend sa position initiale de détente.Referring to Figures 1 and 2, the dispensing device is automatic. In this case, the handle (12) is positioned superimposed on the leg portion of the double lever. It is held in position, as is the double lever, thanks to the return effect of the elastic means (1 5) directly associated with the lever. By this effect, the hook part of the double lever is moved towards the front of the device, so as to follow the external internal profile of the cylindrical cavity of the drum. The non-return stop prevents the drum from rotating in the opposite direction. During this implementation, the eccentric lever and its return spring disposed on the other side of the drum operates normally and after distribution of a section of paper strip, the spring associated with the eccentric lever for launching the drum returns to its initial position. of relaxation.
Lorsque l'opérateur désire mettre l'appareil en fonctionnement semi-automatique, il agit alors sur la manette (12). Celle-ci est pivotée àWhen the operator wishes to put the device in semi-automatic operation, he then acts on the lever (12). This is rotated at
180° par rapport à l'axe d'articulation associé au tenon de rotation du double levier. On fait donc apparaître la mention "PUSH" indiquée sur le plan d'appui de la branche (10a) du double levier. On provoque alors une extension du ressort (1 5) associé à la manette et, lorsque celle-ci dépasse le point mort correspondant à l'extension maximum du ressort, la manette est alors ramenée contre la seconde branche du double levier en étant maintenue par l'effet de détente du ressort considéré, et faisant Q apparaître la mention "STOP". Sous l'action de pression du ressort précité, le double levier est, à son tour, pivoté de quelques degrés pour prendre la position de la figure 3. Dans ce cas, la partie crochet du double levier vient en contact et appui sur la came disposée dans la cavité aménagée du tambour. Cette mise en position en semi-automatique va entraîner un 5 déplacement partiel de la partie crochet du double levier selon une rotation inféπeure à 360° de par l'effet de butée donné par le profil spécifique de la came. Le tambour est donc bloqué en position et la bande de papier ne déborde pas de l'appareil. Le ressort associé à l'excentrique conserve encore une tension résiduelle. Pour assurer la sortie du papier, l'opérateur ° appuie alors sur le double levier, dans la zone d'appui correspondante, en créant une force de poussée supérieure à celle du ressort associée à la manette. La partie crochet du double levier s'écarte donc en se libérant de la came et de sa butée et donc en libérant le tambour. La tension résiduelle du ressort associée au levier excentrique provoque à son tour une force de détente qui permet au tambour de l'appareil de tourner sur quelques degrés, selon un secteur angulaire suffisant pour faire sortir la bande de papier en vue d'être tirée par l'utilisateur.180 ° to the articulation axis associated with the pivot pin of the double lever. The indication "PUSH" indicated on the support plane of the branch (10a) of the double lever is therefore shown. This causes an extension of the spring (1 5) associated with the lever and, when the latter exceeds the neutral point corresponding to the maximum extension of the spring, the lever is then brought back against the second branch of the double lever while being held by the relaxation effect of the spring in question, and causing Q to appear "STOP". Under the pressure action of the aforementioned spring, the double lever is, in turn, pivoted a few degrees to assume the position of FIG. 3. In this case, the hook part of the double lever comes into contact and bears on the cam. disposed in the cavity of the drum. This positioning in semi-automatic will cause a partial displacement of the hook portion of the double lever in a rotation less than 360 ° by the stop effect given by the specific profile of the cam. The drum is therefore locked in position and the paper strip does not project beyond the device. The spring associated with the eccentric still retains a residual tension. To ensure the output of the paper, the operator ° then presses the double lever, in the corresponding support area, creating a pushing force greater than that of the spring associated with the lever. The hook part of the double lever therefore deviates by freeing itself from the cam and its stop and therefore by releasing the drum. The residual tension of the spring associated with the eccentric lever in turn causes an expansion force which allows the drum of the apparatus to rotate over a few degrees, according to an angular sector sufficient to bring out the strip of paper in order to be pulled by the user.
Le ressort (1 5) associé à la manette (1 2) assure par un effet de détente le blocage et le verrouillage en position de la manette et du double levier.The spring (1 5) associated with the handle (1 2) ensures by a relaxing effect the locking and locking in position of the handle and the double lever.
Le dispositif sélecteur est donc d'une très grande simplicité et ne nécessite aucun moyen mécanique particulier. Sa manipulation par un opérateur est aisée. Elle est facilitée par la mention de quelques indications visuelles simples à retenir. Le montage du dispositif est rapide et la forme des pièces simple à réaliser. The selector device is therefore very simple and does not require any particular mechanical means. Its handling by an operator is easy. It is made easier by the mention of a few visual indications that are easy to remember. The assembly of the device is quick and the shape of the parts simple to produce.
