Description

L'invention concerne un distributeur de papier ou autres produits souples en forme de feuilles tels que des produits en non tissé ou formés par voie sèche comportant une cassette amovible.The invention relates to a dispenser of paper or other flexible products in the form of sheets such as non-woven or dry-formed products comprising a removable cassette.

L'invention concerne plus particulièrement un distributeur de papier comportant un boîtier dans lequel le papier est stocké, sous la forme de feuilles pliées, en vue de sa distribution au travers d'un orifice de distribution.The invention relates more particularly to a paper dispenser having a housing in which the paper is stored in the form of folded sheets for distribution through a dispensing orifice.

Il existe de nombreux types de produits qui sont présentés sous la forme de feuilles individuelles pliées et empilées pour être distribuées. Il en est ainsi notamment des serviettes essuie-mains.There are many types of products that are presented in the form of individual sheets folded and stacked for distribution. This is particularly the towel towels.

Toutefois, un même type de produit peut se présenter sous différentes tailles ou peut être réalisé avec des papiers de genres différents, et notamment d'épaisseurs différentes, en fonction de l'endroit où le distributeur doit être disposé et aussi en fonction des habitudes des utilisateurs auxquels il est destiné.However, the same type of product can be in different sizes or can be made with papers of different kinds, and in particular of different thicknesses, depending on where the distributor is to be arranged and also according to the habits of the users for which it is intended.

Pour qu'un distributeur de papier fonctionne correctement, il est nécessaire que les feuilles de papier soient correctement stockées et guidées à l'intérieur de celui-ci.For a paper dispenser to function properly, it is necessary that the paper sheets are properly stored and guided inside it.

Il est par ailleurs nécessaire que l'orifice au travers duquel le papier est distribué, généralement en forme de fente agencée au fond du boîtier, soit aussi adapté au format des feuilles de papier, à la manière dont elles sont pliées et à la nature du papier lui-même.It is also necessary that the orifice through which the paper is distributed, generally in the form of a slit arranged at the bottom of the housing, is also adapted to the size of the sheets of paper, to the manner in which they are folded and to the nature of the paper. paper itself.

Ainsi, jusqu'à présent, il était nécessaire soit de concevoir un type de boîtier spécialement étudié pour chaque type de produit à distribuer, soit de se contenter d'un boîtier "universel" qui dans bien des cas ne donne pas entièrement satisfaction, occasionnant souvent des bourrages empêchant la distribution du papier, ou permettant au contraire à plusieurs feuilles d'être distribuées simultanément.Thus, until now, it was necessary either to design a type of housing specifically designed for each type of product to be distributed, or to be content with a "universal" housing that in many cases is not entirely satisfactory, causing often jams preventing the distribution of paper, or allowing on the contrary several sheets to be distributed simultaneously.

C'est dans le but d'apporter une solution simple, fiable et économique à ces problèmes que l'invention propose un distributeur du type décrit précédemment, caractérisé en ce que le papier est contenu dans une cassette qui est rapportée dans le boîtier, en ce que la cassette comporte une paroi de fond, agencée en regard d'une ouverture du boîtier, et dans laquelle est agencé l'orifice de distribution qui est de forme adaptée aux feuilles de papier à distribuer, et en ce que la cassette comporte des parois de guidage de la pile de feuille pliée.It is with the aim of providing a simple, reliable and economical solution to these problems that the invention proposes a dispenser of the type described above, characterized in that the paper is contained in a cassette which is attached to the housing, in that the cassette has a bottom wall, arranged facing an opening of the housing, and in which is arranged the dispensing orifice which is shaped to fit the sheets of paper to be dispensed, and in that the cassette comprises guide walls of the folded sheet stack.

Selon d'autres caractéristiques de l'invention :

  • la cassette est ouverte vers le haut pour permettre l'alimentation en papier ;
  • la cassette est maintenue à l'intérieur du boîtier par emboîtement élastique ;
  • le boîtier comporte un capot qui est amovible pour permettre l'introduction de la cassette à l'intérieur du boîtier ;
  • la cassette est réalisée au moins en partie en matière plastique moulée ;
  • la cassette est réalisée venue de matière en une seule pièce en matière plastique moulée ;
  • la cassette est intégrée à un emballage d'une pile de feuilles de papier ;
  • la cassette est réalisée au moins en partie en carton.
According to other features of the invention:
  • the cassette is open upwards to allow paper feeding;
  • the cassette is held inside the casing by elastic interlocking;
  • the housing comprises a cover which is removable to allow the introduction of the cassette inside the housing;
  • the cassette is made at least partly of molded plastic;
  • the cassette is made integrally in one piece of molded plastic material;
  • the cassette is embedded in a package of a stack of sheets of paper;
  • the cassette is made at least partly of cardboard.

D'autres caractéristiques et avantages de l'invention apparaîtront à la lecture de la description détaillée qui suit pour la compréhension de laquelle on se reportera aux dessins annexés dans lesquels :

  • les figures 1 et 2 sont des vues extérieures, respectivement de côté et de face, d'un distributeur mural de feuilles de papier conforme aux enseignements de l'invention ;

  • la figure 9 est une vue d'un détail agrandi de la figure 8 représentant les moyens de fixation de la cassette dans le boîtier.
Other features and advantages of the invention will appear on reading the detailed description which follows for the understanding of which reference will be made to the appended drawings in which:
  • the Figures 1 and 2 are external views, respectively from the side and from the front, of a wall dispenser of paper sheets according to the teachings of the invention;
  • the figure 3 is a perspective view, on a larger scale, of a cassette according to the invention;
  • the figure 4 is a partial sectional view through a frontal vertical plane illustrating the arrangement of the cassette in the housing;
  • the Figures 5 to 8 are views in partial section by a lateral vertical plane illustrating different stages of the positioning of the cassette in the housing; and
  • the figure 9 is a view of an enlarged detail of the figure 8 representing the means for fixing the cassette in the housing.

On a représenté sur les figures un distributeur de papier 10 comportant essentiellement un boîtier 12 destiné à être fixé par une face arrière verticale plane 14 contre un pan de mur vertical.There is shown in the figures a paper dispenser 10 essentially comprising a housing 12 intended to be fixed by a flat vertical rear face 14 against a vertical wall section.

Le boîtier 12 comporte un capot 16 qui le recouvre presque entièrement et qui permet, lorsqu'il est enlevé, de donner accès à l'intérieur du boîtier 12. Le capot 18 comporte une fenêtre 17 qui permet de vérifier en permanence le remplissage du distributeur 10.The housing 12 includes a cover 16 which covers almost completely and which, when removed, allows access to the interior of the housing 12. The cover 18 has a window 17 which allows to continuously check the filling of the distributor 10.

Il est alors possible d'alimenter le distributeur 10 avec une pile de feuilles de papier individuelles F, pliées et empilées pour être distribuées au travers d'une ouverture 18 formée dans une paroi inférieure de fond 20 du boîtier 12.It is then possible to supply the dispenser 10 with a stack of individual paper sheets F, folded and stacked to be distributed through an opening 18 formed in a bottom bottom wall 20 of the housing 12.

De manière connue, selon un mode particulier, les feuilles de papier F sont pliées et empilées de manière que, lorsque l'utilisateur s'empare d'une feuille, la feuille suivante apparaît au niveau de l'ouverture 18, légèrement dépliée à l'extérieur du boîtier 12, pour être facilement préhensible par l'utilisateur.In a known manner, in a particular embodiment, the sheets of paper F are folded and stacked so that, when the user seizes a sheet, the following sheet appears at the level of the opening 18, slightly unfolded at outside the housing 12, to be easily gripped by the user.

En dehors de la nécessité de réaliser un pliage rigoureux, il est nécessaire, si l'on veut que la distribution se fasse dans de bonnes conditions, de bien maîtriser la position de la pile de papier dans le distributeur et notamment de veiller à ce que celle-ci reste bien verticale de manière à exercer une pression uniforme sur l'ensemble des feuilles, les feuilles inférieures étant celles qui sont destinées à être distribuées en premier.Apart from the need to perform a rigorous folding, it is necessary, if we want the distribution is done in good conditions, to control the position of the paper stack in the distributor and in particular to ensure that it remains vertical so as to exert a uniform pressure on all the leaves, the lower leaves being those which are intended to be distributed first.

Par ailleurs, les dimensions et la forme de l'orifice au travers duquel les feuilles de papier sont effectivement distribuées sont très importantes pour un bon déroulement de la distribution.Moreover, the dimensions and the shape of the orifice through which the sheets of paper are actually distributed are very important for a good flow of the distribution.

Aussi, l'invention propose un distributeur 10 dans lequel le boîtier 12 est destiné à accueillir une cassette 22, rapportée à l'intérieur du boîtier 12, et spécialement adaptée aux feuilles de papier F à distribuer.Also, the invention proposes a dispenser 10 in which the housing 12 is intended to accommodate a cassette 22, attached inside the housing 12, and specially adapted to the sheets of paper F to be dispensed.

On a représenté sur les figures un tel type de cassette 22 qui comporte notamment deux parois latérales 24 et une paroi verticale arrière 25 qui délimitent un logement exactement adapté à la taille des feuilles de papier F qui restent ainsi bien empilées.There is shown in the figures such a type of cassette 22 which comprises in particular two side walls 24 and a rear vertical wall 25 which delimit a housing exactly adapted to the size of the sheets of paper F which thus remain well stacked.

A cet effet, les deux parois latérales 24 sont écartées l'une de l'autre d'une distance conforme à la dimension des feuilles de papier F selon cette direction.For this purpose, the two side walls 24 are spaced apart from each other by a distance corresponding to the size of the sheets of paper F in this direction.

La cassette 22 est reçue dans une portion inférieure du boîtier 12, en appui contre la paroi inférieure de fond 20 du boîtier 12. La cassette 22 comporte elle aussi une paroi inférieure de fond 26 sur laquelle s'appuient les feuilles de papier F et qui comporte une fente de distribution 28, destinée à être agencée en regard de l'ouverture 18 de la paroi de fond 20 du boîtier 12. La fente de distribution 28, sensiblement rectangulaire, est de taille adaptée au format des feuilles et elle comporte par ailleurs des bords arrondis qui permettent d'éviter que le papier ne soit déchiré au moment de la distribution.The cassette 22 is received in a lower portion of the housing 12, bearing against the bottom bottom wall 20 of the housing 12. The cassette 22 also has a bottom bottom wall 26 on which the sheets of paper F rest and which has a distribution slot 28, intended to be arranged facing the opening 18 of the bottom wall 20 of the housing 12. The distribution slot 28, substantially rectangular, is of suitable size for the sheets and it also comprises rounded edges that prevent the paper from being torn at the time of distribution.

Comme on peut le voir plus particulièrement sur la figure 4, les parois latérales verticales 24 de la cassette 22 comportent une portion supérieure 30 évasée formant entonnoir de manière à faciliter le rechargement de la cassette avec une nouvelle pile de feuilles de papier F.As can be seen more particularly on the figure 4 the vertical sidewalls 24 of the cassette 22 comprise a flared upper portion 30 forming a funnel so as to facilitate reloading of the cassette with a new stack of sheets of paper F.

Par ailleurs, pour faciliter encore l'opération de rechargement, la cassette 22 est pratiquement dépourvue de face avant. Cette absence ne pénalise pas le guidage du fait que la paroi inférieure de fond 26 de la cassette 22, sur laquelle reposent les feuilles de papier, est légèrement inclinée vers l'arrière de sorte que la pile de papier à distribuer tend à être plaquée contre la face interne de la paroi arrière 25 de la cassette 22. Cette disposition facilite en outre la mise en place de la pile.Moreover, to further facilitate the reloading operation, the cassette 22 is substantially devoid of front face. This absence does not penalize the guide because the lower bottom wall 26 of the cassette 22, on which the paper sheets rest, is slightly inclined rearward so that the stack of paper to be dispensed tends to be pressed against the inner face of the rear wall 25 of the cassette 22. This arrangement also facilitates the introduction of the battery.

La cassette 22 selon l'invention est insérée et maintenue à l'intérieur du boîtier par un simple emboîtement élastique.The cassette 22 according to the invention is inserted and held inside the housing by a simple elastic interlocking.

A cet effet, la paroi inférieure 26 de la cassette 22 comporte, sur sa face externe 32, un bossage 34, dont la forme est complémentaire de celle de l'ouverture 18 de la paroi inférieure 20 du boîtier 12 dans laquelle le bossage 34 est reçu pour centrer la cassette 22. Bien entendu, la fente de distribution 28 de la cassette 22 est formé dans le bossage 34 de manière à déboucher à l'extérieur du distributeur 10.For this purpose, the bottom wall 26 of the cassette 22 has, on its outer face 32, a boss 34, whose shape is complementary to that of the opening 18 of the bottom wall 20 of the housing 12 in which the boss 34 is received to center the cassette 22. Of course, the dispensing slot 28 of the cassette 22 is formed in the boss 34 so as to open out of the dispenser 10.

Par ailleurs, la paroi arrière 26 de la cassette 22 comporte, sur son bord inférieur 36, un bec 38 qui s'étend sensiblement verticalement vers le bas, en dessous de la paroi inférieure de fond 26, et qui est destiné à être reçu dans une lumière 40 du boîtier 12.Furthermore, the rear wall 26 of the cassette 22 has, on its lower edge 36, a spout 38 which extends substantially vertically downwards, below the lower bottom wall 26, and which is intended to be received in a light 40 of the housing 12.

Au contraire, le bord supérieur 42 de la paroi arrière 25 comporte un ergot 44 qui est destiné à coopérer avec un bord complémentaire 46 de la paroi arrière 14 du boîtier 12 pour maintenir la cassette 22 par emboîtement élastique lorsqu'elle est en place dans le distributeur 12, sa paroi inférieure de fond 26 étant en appui contre celle 20 du boîtier 12.On the contrary, the upper edge 42 of the rear wall 25 has a lug 44 which is intended to cooperate with a complementary edge 46 of the rear wall 14 of the housing 12 to hold the cassette 22 by elastic interlocking when it is in place in the distributor 12, its bottom bottom wall 26 being in abutment against that 20 of the housing 12.

Ainsi qu'il ressort des figures 5 à 8, la mise en place de la cassette 22 dans le distributeur 12 s'effectue facilement en introduisant la cassette 22 verticalement du haut vers le bas à l'intérieur du boîtier 12 dont on a préalablement retiré le capot 16.As is clear from Figures 5 to 8 , the introduction of the cassette 22 in the dispenser 12 is easily done by introducing the cassette 22 vertically from top to bottom inside the housing 12 which has previously removed the cover 16.

La cassette 22 comporte, à l'avant de sa paroi inférieure de fond 26, un bord 48 que l'on vient mettre en appui contre la face interne de la paroi de fond 20 du boîtier 12 et autour duquel il suffit alors de faire basculer la cassette 12 vers l'arrière. Le bossage 34 et le bec arrière 38 viennent alors naturellement en regard de l'ouverture 18 et de la lumière 40 du boîtier 12 et, en poursuivant le mouvement de basculement, l'ergot 44 du bord supérieur 42 de la paroi arrière 25 de la cassette 22 vient se bloquer automatiquement sous le bord inférieur 46 de la face arrière 14 du boîtier 12.The cassette 22 comprises, at the front of its bottom bottom wall 26, an edge 48 which is abutted against the inner face of the bottom wall 20 of the housing 12 and around which it is then sufficient to tilt the cassette 12 to the rear. The boss 34 and the rear nose 38 then naturally come opposite the opening 18 and the light 40 of the housing 12 and, by continuing the tilting movement, the lug 44 of the upper edge 42 of the rear wall 25 of the cassette 22 is automatically locked under the lower edge 46 of the rear face 14 of the housing 12.

La cassette 22 qui est représentée sur les figures est destinée à distribuer des feuilles de papier de relativement grand format, sensiblement le format maximum qui puisse être accepté par le boîtier 12.The cassette 22 which is shown in the figures is intended to distribute sheets of relatively large format paper, substantially the maximum size that can be accepted by the housing 12.

Bien entendu, dans le cas où l'on souhaite distribuer, à l'aide de ce même distributeur 10, des feuilles de papier de plus petit format, il est nécessaire de mettre en place à l'intérieur du boîtier 12 une cassette (non représentée) dont les parois latérales 24, 25 sont plus rapprochées l'une de l'autre. De même, la forme de la fente de distribution 28 peut être différente.Of course, in the case where it is desired to distribute, using the same distributor 10, smaller paper sheets, it is necessary to set up inside the housing 12 a cassette (no shown) whose side walls 24, 25 are closer to each other. Similarly, the shape of the distribution slot 28 may be different.

Dans tous les cas, la forme extérieure de la cassette 22 est exactement adaptée à celle du boîtier 12 de telle sorte que, une fois en place à l'intérieur du boîtier 12, elle y est maintenue de manière rigide et fiable sans qu'il soit nécessaire de faire appel à des dispositifs de maintien complémentaires.In all cases, the external shape of the cassette 22 is exactly adapted to that of the housing 12 so that, once in place inside the housing 12, it is rigidly and reliably maintained therein without it it is necessary to use complementary support devices.

La cassette 22 qui est représentée sur les figures est réalisée en matière plastique moulée et elle est destinée à être rechargée. En effet, une fois le distributeur installé dans un lieu particulier, on peut souhaiter ne vouloir distribuer qu'un seul type de feuilles de papier si bien que la cassette 22 peut être installée de façon permanente dans le boîtier 12. Dans ce cas, on peut par exemple prévoir que la cassette 22 soit inamovible sans démonter le distributeur 10 du mur sur lequel il est fixé.The cassette 22 shown in the figures is made of molded plastic and is intended to be refilled. Indeed, once the distributor installed in a particular place, one may wish to distribute only one type of paper so that the cassette 22 can be permanently installed in the housing 12. In this case, may for example provide that the cassette 22 is irremovable without removing the distributor 10 of the wall on which it is attached.

Selon ce mode de réalisation, la cassette 22 est réalisée en une seule pièce si bien que le distributeur 10 selon l'invention comporte un nombre de pièces très réduit et peut de la sorte être produit de manière simple et à faible coût.According to this embodiment, the cassette 22 is made in one piece so that the dispenser 10 according to the invention comprises a very small number of parts and can thus be produced simply and at low cost.

Toutefois, on peut également vouloir réaliser la cassette 22 sous une forme "jetable" faisant partie intégrante de l'emballage des produits à distribuer.However, we may also want to achieve the cassette 22 in a "disposable" form forming an integral part of the packaging of the products to be dispensed.

On peut alors concevoir une cassette 22 de moindre coût, dont par exemple seuls les moyens de fixation formés par le bossage 34 et la paroi arrière 25 sont en matière plastique, le reste étant réalisé en un matériau moins coûteux, tel que le carton.We can then design a cassette 22 of less cost, for example only the fastening means formed by the boss 34 and the rear wall 25 are plastic, the rest being made of a less expensive material, such as cardboard.

La cassette 22 peut ne former alors qu'une partie inférieure de l'emballage d'une pile de feuilles F, l'emballage pouvant alors se présenter sous la forme d'une boîte en carton ou sous la forme d'un film plastique fixé sur la cassette et entourant la pile de feuilles F.The cassette 22 may form then a lower portion of the package of a stack of sheets F, the package may then be in the form of a cardboard box or in the form of a fixed plastic film on the cassette and surrounding the stack of sheets F.

Un tel dispositif est particulièrement avantageux en ce qu'il garantit que le positionnement de la pile de papiers, ainsi réalisé en usine par le fabricant, est fait de manière optimale par rapport à la fente de distribution et par rapport aux parois de guidage de la pile.Such a device is particularly advantageous in that it ensures that the positioning of the stack of papers, thus produced in the factory by the manufacturer, is made optimally with respect to the distribution slot and with respect to the guide walls of the battery.

De plus, l'opération de rechargement se trouve alors particulièrement facilitée.In addition, the reloading operation is then particularly facilitated.
