Description
La présente invention est relative à un distributeur de cire à épiler thermofusible.The present invention relates to a depilatory wax dispenser melt.
On connaít des appareils d'épilation à la cire dans lesquels la cire est fondue puis étalée sur la peau, et après solidification enlevée, ce qui permet d'arracher les poils noyés dans la couche de cire durcie. Selon un type d'appareil de ce genre, la cire est fondue dans un réservoir, puis étalée sur la peau avec un applicateur à rouleau mobile en rotation et disposé dans une ouverture placée à la sortie du réservoir de cire, un espace calibré étant ménagé entre cette ouverture et le rouleau. Celui-ci est entraíné en rotation en l'appliquant contre la peau et en déplaçant l'appareil, formant ainsi une couche de cire d'épaisseur et de largeur déterminée qui se dépose sur la peau.We know of waxing devices in which the wax is melted then spread on the skin, and after solidification removed, which makes it possible to tear off the hairs embedded in the hardened wax layer. According to a type of device of this kind, the wax is melted in a tank, then spread on the skin with a roller applicator rotating and disposed in an opening at the outlet of the wax tank, a calibrated space is provided between this opening and roller. It is rotated by applying it against the skin and moving the device, thus forming a thick layer of wax and of determined width which is deposited on the skin.
Compte tenu de la morphologie des parties du corps à épiler, ainsi que de la nature de la peau ou de celle du tissu sous-cutané ainsi que de celle des poils, il est utile et il s'avère même nécessaire, de pouvoir varier la largeur de la couche de cire, de même que son épaisseur.Taking into account the morphology of the body parts to be epilated, as well as the nature of the skin or that of the subcutaneous tissue as well as that of the hairs, it is useful and even necessary, to be able to vary the width of the layer of wax, as well as its thickness.
A cet effet, on a déjà proposé des appareils à têtes interchangeables, équipées de rouleaux de différents diamètres, correspondant à des épaisseurs de couches de cire différentes, ou de longueurs différentes, permettant de varier la largeur de la bande de cire déposée. La nécessité de changer de tête constitue une opération peu pratique et peu agréable, les têtes étant engluées de cire.For this purpose, devices have already been proposed with interchangeable heads, equipped rolls of different diameters, corresponding to thicknesses of different wax layers, or different lengths, allowing to vary the width of the wax strip deposited. The need to change heads is an impractical and unpleasant operation, the heads being stuck with wax.
On a proposé de remédier à ces inconvénients dans le FR-A1-2 740 665 grâce à une tête d'application de la cire formée de plusieurs rouleaux coaxiaux dont l'un au moins peut être bloqué angulairement, de sorte que la largeur du ruban de cire déposée est alors réduite et correspond à celle du seul rouleau resté libre de tourner. Cette solution présente cependant l'inconvénient de laisser le rouleau bloqué angulairement en contact avec la peau, créant un frottement désagréable.It has been proposed to remedy these drawbacks in FR-A1-2 740 665 by to a wax application head formed by several coaxial rollers of which at least one can be locked angularly, so that the width of the tape of deposited wax is then reduced and corresponds to that of the only roller remaining free to turn. However, this solution has the disadvantage of leaving the roller locked angularly in contact with the skin, creating friction unpleasant.
On a proposé par ailleurs, dans le FR-A1-2 743 993 un applicateur de cire à rouleau comprenant des moyens permettant de régler la largeur de la fente de distribution de la cire ménagée entre le rouleau applicateur et l'ouverture du réservoir de cire.Furthermore, in FR-A1-2 743 993, a wax applicator has been proposed. roller comprising means for adjusting the width of the slit distribution of the wax formed between the applicator roller and the opening of the wax tank.
Il a également été proposé dans l'applicateur à plusieurs rouleaux de modifier le jeu entre les rouleaux et l'ouverture du réservoir par un système qui permet de déplacer l'axe des rouleaux parallèlement à lui-même selon une direction sensiblement perpendiculaire au plan de l'ouverture, modifiant ainsi l'espace entre le rouleau et le bord de cette ouverture et donc la largeur de la fente de distribution de la cire. L'association de ces deux moyens de réglage nécessite deux organes de commande, rendant possible l'interversion de ces organes conduisant à des résultats contraires à ceux recherchés.It has also been proposed in the multi-roller applicator to modify the play between the rollers and the opening of the tank by a system which allows to move the axis of the rollers parallel to itself in a direction substantially perpendicular to the plane of the opening, thereby modifying the space between the roller and the edge of this opening and therefore the width of the slit distribution of the wax. The combination of these two adjustment means requires two control members, making it possible to reverse these members leading to results contrary to those sought.
Le but de la présente invention est de remédier, au mois en partie, aux inconvénients susmentionnés en permettant, par une commande unique, d'effectuer les deux réglages, largeur et épaisseur de cire déposée sur la peau. On a en effet pu constater que les zones de la peau où il est nécessaire de déposer une bande de cire plus étroite sont également celles où la couche de cire doit être plus épaisse. C'est notamment le cas sous les aisselles, alors que sur la jambe où la bande déposée peut être plus large, l'épaisseur de cire peut être plus faible.The object of the present invention is to remedy, at least in part, the disadvantages mentioned above by allowing, by a single order, make the two adjustments, width and thickness of wax deposited on the skin. We have indeed seen that the areas of the skin where it is necessary to file a narrower strip of wax are also those where the layer of wax should be thicker. This is particularly the case under the armpits, while on the leg where the deposited strip may be wider, the thickness of the wax may to be weaker.
A cet effet, l'invention à pour objet un distributeur de cire à épiler thermofusible comprenant un boítier formant un moyen de préhension, à l'intérieur duquel est ménagé un réservoir pour la cire associé à des moyens de chauffage et un dispositif d'application comportant deux rouleaux montés rotativement sur un arbre commun monté dans un support à ses deux extrémités, ces rouleaux étant disposés dans une ouverture dudit réservoir, dont le bord ménage avec lesdits rouleaux une fente de distribution de la cire fondue consécutivement à la mise en rotation de ces rouleaux, une portion de leur surface cylindrique externe servant à appliquer la cire sur la surface à épiler, des moyens de blocage angulaire étant associés à l'un desdits rouleaux pour modifier la largeur de la surface d'application du dispositif d'application.To this end, the invention relates to a dispenser of hot-melt depilatory wax comprising a housing forming a gripping means, inside which is provided a reservoir for the wax associated with heating means and a application device comprising two rollers rotatably mounted on a common shaft mounted in a support at its two ends, these rollers being arranged in an opening of said tank, the edge of which forms a said rollers a distribution slot for the molten wax following the rotation of these rollers, a portion of their cylindrical surface used to apply the wax to the surface to be depilated, means for angular blocking being associated with one of said rollers to modify the width of the application surface of the application device.
Selon l'objet de l'invention, ledit arbre commun est solidaire angulairement d'un organe de commande pour faire tourner cet arbre dans son support autour de son axe longitudinal, cet arbre comportant deux sections cylindriques dont l'une est désaxée par rapport à l'axe de pivotement de cet arbre dans son support, ces sections cylindriques servant de moyen de pivotement pour lesdits rouleaux respectifs, le rayon du rouleau monté pivotant sur la section cylindrique désaxée étant plus grand que celui du rouleau monté pivotant autour de la section cylindrique coaxiale, d'une valeur correspondant à la distance entre les axes respectifs de ces deux sections cylindriques, de sorte que dans une position angulaire autour dudit arbre, les génératrices respectives de ces rouleaux sont alignées et en ce que lesdits moyens de blocage du rouleau monté sur ladite section cylindrique coaxiale audit arbre sont angulairement fixes par rapport à cet arbre commun.According to the subject of the invention, said common shaft is angularly integral with a control member to rotate this shaft in its support around its longitudinal axis, this shaft comprising two cylindrical sections, one of which is offset from the pivot axis of this shaft in its support, these cylindrical sections serving as pivot means for said respective rollers, the radius of the mounted roller pivots on the section offset cylindrical being larger than that of the pivotally mounted roller around the coaxial cylindrical section, with a value corresponding to the distance between the respective axes of these two cylindrical sections, so that in an angular position around said shaft, the respective generators of these rollers are aligned and in that said blocking means of the roller mounted on said cylindrical section coaxial with said shaft are angularly fixed with respect to this common tree.
De préférence, ces moyens de blocage sont en prise avec le rouleau monté sur ladite section cylindrique de plus petit diamètre coaxiale audit arbre lorsque les surfaces externes d'application desdits rouleaux sont décalées par rapport à l'axe de pivotement dudit arbre, alors qu'ils sont désengagés de ce rouleau lorsque leurs surfaces externes d'application sont alignées.Preferably, these blocking means are engaged with the roller mounted on said cylindrical section of smaller diameter coaxial with said shaft when the external application surfaces of said rollers are offset from the pivot axis of said shaft, while they are disengaged from this roller when their external application surfaces are aligned.
La commande simultanée de la largeur d'application et de son épaisseur est obtenue par une seule commande, grâce à la liaison cinématique entre l'arbre de pivotement des rouleaux et les moyens de blocage du rouleau monté sur la section cylindrique coaxiale à cet arbre. Il s'agit d'une solution simple et fiable qui nécessite peu d'éléments supplémentaires, n'entraínant de ce fait pas d'augmentation sensible de coût aussi bien du point de vue de la fabrication que de celui de l'assemblage et de la mise au point.The simultaneous control of the application width and its thickness is obtained by a single command, thanks to the kinematic connection between the shaft for pivoting the rollers and the means for locking the roller mounted on the cylindrical section coaxial with this shaft. It is a simple and reliable solution which requires few additional elements, therefore not causing significant increase in cost from a manufacturing point of view than that of assembly and development.
Avantageusement, lesdits moyens de blocage comportent, un organe de verrouillage monté pivotant sur une surface cylindrique solidaire dudit arbre et excentrique par rapport à son axe de pivotement, des moyens de liaison entre cet organe de verrouillage et ledit support pour maintenir cet organe de verrouillage dans une position angulaire fixe par rapport audit arbre, de sorte que cet organe de verrouillage est susceptible de se déplacer selon une direction perpendiculaire audit arbre entre deux positions limites, correspondant à deux positions angulaires distantes de 180° de cet arbre et des éléments de verrouillage radiaux disposés autour de l'axe dudit rouleau monté sur ladite section cylindrique coaxiale audit arbre, de sorte que ledit organe de verrouillage pénètre dans la trajectoire circulaire desdits éléments de verrouillage radiaux suivant la position de cet organe de verrouillage par rapport à l'axe de pivotement dudit arbre.Advantageously, said blocking means comprise, a locking pivotally mounted on a cylindrical surface integral with said shaft and eccentric relative to its pivot axis, connecting means between this locking member and said support for holding this member locking in a fixed angular position relative to said shaft, so that this locking member is capable of moving in a direction perpendicular to said shaft between two limit positions, corresponding at two angular positions 180 ° apart from this shaft and the elements of radial locks arranged around the axis of said roller mounted on said cylindrical section coaxial with said shaft, so that said member locking enters the circular path of said elements of radial locking according to the position of this locking member by relative to the pivot axis of said shaft.
Les moyens de liaison cinématique entre l'arbre de pivotement des rouleaux et le dispositif de verrouillage étant formés par une surface excentrique de l'arbre lui-même, cette solution ne nécessite ni pièce supplémentaire telle que came ou engrenage ni réglage, celui-ci étant obtenu par la position angulaire de l'excentrique lui-même.The means of kinematic connection between the pivot shaft of the rollers and the locking device being formed by an eccentric surface of the shaft itself, this solution does not require any additional parts such as cam or gear or adjustment, this being obtained by the angular position of the eccentric itself.
De préférence, ledit support est monté coulissant par rapport audit réservoir selon une direction perpendiculaire à l'axe de pivotement dudit arbre, de manière à permettre d'écarter lesdits rouleaux de ladite ouverture.Preferably, said support is slidably mounted relative to said tank in a direction perpendicular to the pivot axis of said shaft, so as to allow said rollers to be moved away from said opening.
Avantageusement, la largeur de ladite fente de distribution entre le rouleau monté pivotant sur ladite section excentrique à l'axe dudit arbre est fonction de la position angulaire de cette section excentrique autour de cet axe. Advantageously, the width of said distribution slot between the roller pivotally mounted on said eccentric section to the axis of said shaft is a function of the angular position of this eccentric section around this axis.
En tournant l'arbre de pivotement, cette disposition permet de modifier l'épaisseur de cire déposée et de commander le blocage du rouleau coaxial à l'axe de cet arbre, en modifiant la position angulaire de cet arbre et, par conséquent celle des deux excentriques commandant respectivement la distance entre l'autre desdits rouleaux et le bord de l'ouverture et le blocage ou le déblocage du rouleau coaxial à l'axe de l'arbre de pivotement de ces rouleaux.By turning the pivot shaft, this arrangement allows you to modify the thickness of the wax deposited and to control the locking of the coaxial roller at the axis of this tree, by modifying the angular position of this tree and, by consequently that of the two eccentrics respectively controlling the distance between the other of said rollers and the edge of the opening and blocking or the release of the coaxial roller to the axis of the pivot shaft of these rolls.
De préférence encore, la largeur de ladite fente est plus faible lorsque les deux rouleaux sont libres de tourner autour dudit arbre que lorsque le rouleau monté sur ladite section cylindrique coaxiale audit arbre est bloqué angulairement autour de cet arbre. Dans la mesure où on a voulu éviter de laisser le choix de l'épaisseur à l'utilisateur de l'appareil, on a pu constater qu'il est pratiquement toujours préférable d'avoir une couche de cire plus épaisse lorsque la largeur d'application est plus faible et plus mince lorsque cette largeur est plus grande.More preferably, the width of said slot is narrower when the two rollers are free to rotate around said shaft only when the roller mounted on said cylindrical section coaxial with said shaft is locked angularly around this tree. Insofar as we wanted to avoid leaving the choice of thickness to the user of the device, we have seen that it is practically always better to have a thicker layer of wax when the width application is smaller and thinner when this width is greater.

Le distributeur de cire illustré au dessin comporte un boítier 1, à l'intérieur
duquel se trouve un réservoir 2 destiné à recevoir la cire à épiler. Un corps de
chauffe électrique 3 est fixé à l'une des parois de ce réservoir 2 à l'intérieur
duquel s'étend une ailette de diffusion de la chaleur 2a. Une ouverture 4 est
ménagée au haut de ce réservoir 2.The wax distributor illustrated in the drawing has a
Un dispositif applicateur de cire est disposé dans l'ouverture 4 de ce réservoir
2. Ce dispositif applicateur comporte deux rouleaux 5 et 6 montés pivotant sur
un arbre 7 dont les deux extrémités sont montées à travers deux coulisseaux
respectifs 8, 9, en forme de plaquettes munies d'ouvertures allongées 8a,
respectivement 9a, dont seule l'ouverture 8a est visible sur le dessin. Chacune
de ces ouverture allongées 8a, 9a dont les bords sont parallèles est engagée
sur deux guides tubulaires 10, respectivement 11, faisant saillie sur la face
interne de la paroi du récipient 2. Une extrémité de chacune de ces ouvertures
allongées 8a, 9a forme un coude 8b, 9b pour permettre de recevoir un des
guides tubulaires 10, respectivement 11 et de faire ainsi basculer le dispositif
applicateur, comme on l'expliquera par la suite.A wax applicator device is disposed in the opening 4 of this
L'arbre 7 de ce dispositif applicateur comporte deux sections cylindriques 7a,
7b. L'axe de révolution A de la première section cylindrique 7a est décentré
par rapport à l'axe B de l'arbre 7, tandis que l'axe de la seconde section
cylindrique 7b est coaxial à celui de l'arbre 7. Le rayon de la première section
cylindrique 7a dont l'axe est décentré est supérieur à celui de la seconde
section cylindrique 7b, d'une valeur correspondant à celle du décentrage entre
leurs axes respectifs. De ce fait, les génératrices de ces deux sections
cylindriques 7a, 7b sont alignées l'une avec l'autre dans une position angulaire
autour de leurs axes respectifs.The
Il en est de même des diamètres respectifs des rouleaux 5 et 6, le rouleau 5
monté pivotant sur la première section cylindrique 7a a un rayon supérieur à
celui du rouleau 6, d'une valeur correspondant à celle du décentrage entre les
axes respectifs des sections cylindriques 7a et 7b. Comme pour ces sections
cylindriques 7a, 7b, les génératrices de ces deux rouleaux 5 et 6 sont alignées
l'une avec l'autre dans une position angulaire autour de leurs axes respectifs.It is the same for the respective diameters of the
Cet arbre 7 comporte encore une seconde surface cylindrique 7c décentrée par
rapport à son axe, mais l'axe C de celle-ci est décalé angulairement de 180°
par rapport à l'axe A de la première section cylindrique 7a. Cette surface 7c
sert de pivotement à un organe de verrouillage 12 présentant une languette
12a engagée dans une ouverture rectangulaire 9b du coulisseau 9, de sorte
que cet organe de verrouillage 12 est maintenu dans une position angulaire fixe
par rapport à l'arbre 7. Cet arbre 7 présente enfin une portion striée 7d sur
laquelle un bouton de commande 13 est engagé à force, de manière à être
solidaire angulairement de l'axe 7.This
L'organe de verrouillage 12 est logé dans une cuvette 6a ménagée à l'extrémité
externe du rouleau 6. Le bord de cette cuvette 6a comporte une denture 6b
(figures 4 et 6) avec laquelle peut venir en prise une saillie dentée 12b de
l'organe de verrouillage, comme on l'expliquera par la suite.The
Un ressort 14 fixé à l'intérieur du réservoir 2 vient en prise avec un bord du
coulisseau 8 et sert à maintenir élastiquement la coulisse dans chacune de ses
deux positions illustrées par la figure 1, respectivement par les figures 3, 4, 6,
7. Dans la position illustrée par la figure 1, le dispositif d'application qui vient
d'être décrit est non seulement éloigné de l'ouverture 4 du réservoir 2, mais il
en est aussi écarté latéralement grâce à la portion 8b de l'ouverture 8a, ce qui
permet de remplir le réservoir par de la cire, par exemple sous forme de
granules. Ensuite, les coulisseaux 8, 9 sont repoussés à l'intérieur du réservoir
et le distributeur est prêt à l'emploi après une période de chauffage apte à faire
fondre la cire.A
Lorsque les rouleaux 5, 6 du dispositif d'application sont dans la position
illustrée par les figures 2 à 4, les portions de surfaces externes de ces rouleaux
5, 6, se trouvant à l'extérieur du réservoir 2 et destinées à être appliquées
contre la surface de peau à épiler sont situées à un même niveau par rapport à
l'axe B de l'arbre 7. Par ailleurs, comme on le voit sur la figure 4, la saillie
dentée 12b de l'organe de verrouillage 12 est dégagée de la denture 6b du
bord de la cuvette 6a du rouleau 6, de sorte que ce rouleau est libre de tourner
librement autour de la section 7b de l'arbre 7. Il en est de même pour le rouleau
5 qui est constamment libre de tourner autour de la section 7a de l'arbre 7.When the
Comme on le voit sur les figures 3 et 4, une fente de largeur J1 est ménagée
entre ces rouleaux 5 et 6 et le bord de sortie de l'ouverture 4 du réservoir 2.
Lorsque l'on applique ces rouleaux contre la surface de peau à épiler et que
l'on déplace le corps de l'appareil dans la direction de la flèche F (figure 3), les
rouleaux 5 et 6 sont entraínés par friction dans le sens F1, faisant alors sortir
un ruban de cire par la fente J1, la largeur de cette bande correspondant à la
longueur des deux rouleaux 5 et 6 et son épaisseur à la largeur de la fente J1.As seen in Figures 3 and 4, a slot of width J1 is provided
between these
Si l'on fait tourner l'arbre 7 de 180° par rapport à sa position angulaire illustrée
par les figures 2 à 4, par l'intermédiaire du bouton de commande 13, on fait
également tourner de 180° les sections cylindriques décentrées 7a, 7c, de
sorte que le rouleau 5 subit une translation par rapport à l'axe de l'arbre 7 et
que sa surface d'application est alors amenée à un niveau supérieur (figure 5)
à celle du rouleau 6, qui lui, reste toujours au même niveau par rapport à l'axe
de l'arbre 7 puisque sa surface de pivotement, constituée par la section 7b de
cet arbre 7, est coaxiale à cet arbre 7.If the
Simultanément, l'axe C de la surface cylindrique 7c, également décentrée, mais
se trouvant à une position angulaire située à 180° par rapport au décentrage de
la section cylindrique 7a, vient se placer au-dessous (figure 7) de l'axe B de
l'arbre 7. Suite à cette rotation de 180°, la saillie dentée 12b de l'organe de
verrouillage 12 vient s'engager dans la denture 6b de la cuvette 6a du rouleau
6 (figure 6). Etant donné que l'ergot 12a de cet organe de verrouillage est
engagé dans l'ouverture rectangulaire 9b, cet organe de verrouillage est
angulairement fixe, de sorte que le rouleau 6 se trouve immobilisé par ce
verrou 12. Simultaneously, the axis C of the
Comme on peut s'en rendre compte sur la figure 5, le déplacement en
translation latérale du rouleau 5 consécutivement à la rotation de l'arbre 7 de
180° a pour autre conséquence d'augmenter la largeur J2 de la fente entre ce
rouleau 5 et l'ouverture 4 du réservoir 2, augmentant donc l'épaisseur de la
couche de cire distribuée sur la surface à épiler. Etant donné que la surface
d'application du rouleau 6 se trouve bloquée angulairement et en même temps
que cette surface se trouve en retrait par rapport à la surface d'application du
rouleau 5 qui, lui, est libre de tourner, non seulement la cire ne sortira que sur
une largeur correspondant à la longueur du rouleau 5, mais la surface
d'application du rouleau 6 immobilisé ne frottera pas contre la peau, améliorant
ainsi sensiblement le confort d'utilisation de l'appareil.As can be seen in Figure 5, the displacement in
lateral translation of the
Claims (6)
- A dispenser for hot-melt depilatory wax, the dispenser comprising a housing (1) forming handle means, having formed therein a tank (2) for wax associated with heater means (3), and an applicator device comprising two rollers (5, 6) mounted to rotate on a common shaft (7) mounted in a support (8, 9) via each of its two ends, the rollers (5, 6) being placed in an opening (4) of said tank (2), the edge of the tank co-operating with said rollers (5, 6) to define a slot (J1, J2) through which the molten wax is dispensed when said rollers (5, 6) are set into rotation, a fraction of their cylindrical outer surfaces serving to apply the wax to the surface to be depilated, angular locking means (12) being associated with one of said rollers (6) to modify the width of the application surface of the applicator device, the dispenser being characterized in that said common shaft (7) is angularly secured to a control member (13) for causing said shaft (7) to turn in its support (8, 9) about its longitudinal axis, said shaft (7) having two cylindrical sections (7a, 7b), one of which sections (7a) is axially offset from the axis (B) about which said shaft (7) pivots in its support (8, 9), said cylindrical sections (7a, 7b) serving as pivot means for said respective rollers (5, 6), the radius of the roller (5) mounted to pivot on the axially offset cylindrical section (7a) being greater than that of the roller (6) mounted to pivot about the coaxial cylindrical section (7b) by an amount corresponding to the distance between the respective axes (A, B) of the two cylindrical sections (7a, 7b), such that in one angular position about said shaft (7) the respective generator lines of the two rollers (5, 6) are in alignment, and in that said locking means (12) for the roller (6) mounted on said coaxial cylindrical section (7b) of said shaft (7) are angularly fixed relative to said common shaft (7).
- A dispenser according to claim 1, characterized in that the locking means (12) engage with the roller (6) mounted on said coaxial cylindrical section (7b) of said shaft (7) when the applicator surfaces of said rollers (5, 6) are offset relative to the pivot axis (B) of said shaft (7), and they are disengaged from said roller (6) when their applicator surfaces are in alignment.
- A dispenser according to either preceding claim, characterized in that said locking means (12) comprise: a locking member pivotally mounted on a cylindrical surface (7c) secured to said shaft (7) and offset relative to its pivot axis (B); link means (9b, 12a) between said locking member (12) and said support (8, 9) to hold said locking member (12) in an angular position that is fixed relative to said shaft (7) so that said locking member (12) is capable of moving in a direction perpendicular to said shaft (7) between two limit positions corresponding to two positions of said shaft (7) that are angularly separated by 180°; and radial locking elements (6b) placed around the axis of said roller (6) mounted on said coaxial cylindrical section (7b) of said shaft (7) so that said locking member (12) penetrates into the circular trajectory of said radial locking elements (6b) depending on the position of said locking member (12) relative to the pivot axis (B) of said shaft (7).
- A dispenser according to any preceding claim, characterized in that said support (8, 9) is mounted to slide relative to said tank (2) in a direction perpendicular to the pivot axis (B) of said shaft (7) so as to enable said rollers (5, 6) to be moved away from said opening (4).
- A dispenser according to any preceding claim, characterized in that the width (J1, J2) of said dispensing slot between the roller (5) mounted to pivot on said section (7a) that is offset from the axis (B) of said shaft (7) is a function of the angular position of said offset section (7a) about said shaft (7).
- A dispenser according to any preceding claim, characterized in that the width (J1) of said slot is narrower when both rollers (5, 6) are free to turn about said shaft (7) than when the roller (6) mounted on said cylindrical section (7b) that is coaxial with said shaft (7) is angularly locked about said shaft (7).
