Abstract

The base of the dispenser housing (2) has a concave middle section (9) whose axis of curvature runs parallel to the front an back walls (4, 5) of the housing. The end edges of the middle section lying parallel to the side walls change through curved ben lines (12, 13) into flat upwardly inclined side base end sections (14, 15) which are connected to the side walls. The bending li are bent inwards so that the middle base section has its shortest length along its longitudinal centre line running parallel to axis of curvature. The dispenser housing is closable by a lid (8) which has in the delivery opening (19) area a protruding part for covering the opening so that only a slit remains open which extends over the entire length of the opening.

Description

The invention relates to a dispenser for moist hygiene paper in roll form, especially for moist toilet paper rolls, the dispenser housing being box-shaped is with a bottom, a front wall, a back wall and two side walls arranged between them and with a removal opening in the front wall of the dispenser housing.

Sanitary papers are made both in folded form and in Roll form sold. Folded wet towels are included usually offered in box-shaped containers. To the to be able to remove individual wipes safely and around them Preventing drying out in the container are many Proposed solutions have been made (e.g. US 5,201,164 and US 4,219,129). There are also moisturizing boxes for moist Wipes ("Hakle damp") with a reclosable lid on the market where the folded wet wipes are safe can be kept.

Rolls of wet wipes are still very little used, especially wet toilet paper. For those on the market Wet toilet paper rolls are containers offered, such as the subject of US 5,439,521 or WO 98/08763. Because of cost reasons only in the rarest Only used moist toilet paper rolls but both dry and moist or Deodorized toilet paper rolls are already common Holder for using the two types of toilet paper rolls have been proposed (US 4,834,316 and WO 98/04486).

The known containers for moist toilet paper rolls are designed to be essentially round in adaptation to the roll shape and for wall mounting using a conventional one Wall bracket determined. In cases where both a dry toilet paper roll as well as a moist toilet paper roll to be offered for selection are double wall brackets known. Within the essentially round Most of the containers are the moist toilet paper rolls supported on a centrally arranged shaft, which in the is stored on both side walls of the container. If the Diameter of the paper roll by removing individual ones Sheets of toilet paper are reduced and the role is not more with the bottom wall section of the round container in Is dry, there is a tendency to dry out faster the outer leaves on the circumference of the roll.

This also applies to the one known from US Pat. No. 3,756,483 Dispenser for holding moist hygiene paper in roll form to which is an essentially box-shaped dispenser housing having. Again, this is the onset of a damp one Hygienic paper roll expensive because a take-up shaft is required that is over the floor in the otherwise one-piece Dispenser housing must be used. It also requires inserting the end of a tissue roll into the Removal opening some tact. Training the removal opening in the lower area of the front wall very easily cause an awkward tear off a sheet of paper the rest of the roll in that The dispenser housing rolls back. In this case, the whole Be disassembled and the beginning of the paper through the Removal slot can be pulled from the inside out.

The object of the invention is therefore a dispenser of the beginning mentioned type for taking up moist hygiene paper in To create roll form that is easy and safe to use and can be attached and taken anywhere.

This object is achieved in that the Bottom of the dispenser housing a concave arched middle Has bottom section, the axis of curvature parallel to Front and back wall of the dispenser housing runs that the lying parallel to the side walls of the dispenser housing Front edges of the middle floor section over curved Kink lines in obliquely upward lateral Bottom end sections pass over to the side bottom end sections flat and with the side walls are connected so that the fold lines are bent inwards are that the middle bottom end section along its longitudinal center line running parallel to the axis of curvature its shortest length is that of the dispenser housing can be closed by means of a cover that the removal opening is formed in the upper edge region of the front wall and that the lid protrudes in the area of the removal opening Has part with which the removal opening so far is coverable and that only one can cover the entire length of the Removal opening extending slot remains open. So that will created a dispenser for moist sanitary paper in roll form, that is simple to build and manufacture, that easy to handle and easy to accommodate or is attachable. Another advantage of the invention Dispenser is that the moist paper roll is not on needs to be supported by a wave, but by the special design of the bottom and the removal opening a shape-related guide is provided in the dispenser housing and the individual sheets of the paper roll can be easily removed are. The end of the paper roll should go into the dispenser case back away, it can be due to the special design insert the lid back into the removal slot, without having to disassemble the housing.

To guide and remove the moist paper roll facilitate the removal opening according to a special Embodiment of the invention to a length equal to or slightly larger than the length of the concave middle floor section along its longitudinal center line. This is a straightforward, i.e. tilt-free and therefore guaranteed unrolling of the paper roll guaranteed. This makes the removal opening particularly easy

produce that according to a further embodiment of the Invention in the dispenser housing by an outside curved portion of the front wall is formed.

To ensure a safe unrolling of the moist paper roll and a to facilitate the safe removal of the individual sheets of paper it is provided in a further development of the inventive concept that the projecting part of the lid has a bend that the bend of the outwardly curved portion of the front wall corresponds.

So that the removal opening has sufficient stability has, it is provided according to the invention that within the reinforcing ribs bent outward portion of the front wall are trained. These can when spraying the Dispenser housing can also be attached.

The removal of the individual sheets of paper from the damp Paper roll is facilitated according to the invention in that the middle of the end portion of the outward bent portion the front wall expediently one in particular semicircular grip hole is formed.

A fundamental problem when using moist Cloths is that they are in the intended Dry the containers slightly. The dispenser housing should therefore be designed to be largely hermetic Completion of the moist paper roll arranged in it is guaranteed. The purpose of the present invention, according to which the upper edge of the dispenser housing as a circumferential protruding support for the lid is trained. This support for the lid is useful from a radially projecting wall section formed, which extends vertically downward Support section merges. It will be a relatively large one Contact surface between the edge of the actual dispenser housing and the lid created at the appropriate Precise machining for a tight fit of the lid the dispenser housing.

To ensure this tight fit, one is certain Rigidity of the edge section of the lid is required. This is according to a further embodiment of the invention thereby achieved that within the of the walls of the Dispenser housing, the radially projecting wall section and the vertical support section formed support for the lid Reinforcing ribs are formed.

As a counterpart to those that extend vertically downwards Contact portions of the lid, this has according to the invention corresponding, vertically downward, circumferential Holding sections. These are designed to be tight come to rest on the support sections of the cover. In order to becomes the required largely hermetic seal created.

To the lid securely but still detachably with the dispenser housing To be able to close is according to yet another Embodiment of the invention provided that on the downwardly extending holding portion of one side portion the cover is a semi-circular one in particular Hinge for opening the lid is attached. This points according to the invention both a right-angled end, which engages in the holding portion of the lid, as well a hook formed at a distance from the bent end, the the holding portion of the lid and the free end of the reaches behind the vertical support section of the dispenser housing.

So that the lid is captively connected to the dispenser housing is, it is conveniently at its rear end hinged to the rear wall of the dispenser housing.

In order to be able to build the dispenser housing as compactly as possible, whereby on the one hand, a safe guidance of the moist paper roll in the housing and the paper roll on the other must also be safe and easy to unroll, it has proven to be Proven that the angle between the middle Bottom section and the sloping upward side Bottom end sections is preferably 115 °.

The dispenser 1 shown in the figures for receiving (not shown) wet hygiene paper in roll form, especially of moist toilet paper rolls, consists of a dispenser housing 2, the bottom 3 and a front wall 4, a rear wall 5 and two arranged in between Has side walls 6 and 7. On the dispenser housing 2 is a Lid 8 releasably attached.

The bottom 3 has a concavely curved central bottom section 9, whose axis of curvature is parallel to the front and Back wall 4 and 5 of the dispenser housing runs. How in particular 6 and 10 can be seen, the parallel to the side walls 6 and 7 of the dispenser housing 2 lying front edges 10 and 11 of the central bottom section 9 over curved buckling lines 12 and 13 at an angle upwards extending lateral bottom end sections 14 and 15 over. The Angle α between the central bottom section 9 and the one thereon adjacent bottom end sections 14 and 15 is in the illustrated embodiment 115 °. The bottom end sections 14 and 15 are flat and at 16 and 17 with the Side walls 6 and 7 connected. As can be seen from Fig. 10 the bend lines 12 and 13 are bent inwards so that the middle floor section 9 along its parallel to Axis of curvature extending longitudinal center line 18 has the smallest length.

The removal opening 19 shown in FIGS. 1 and 5 is provided and will be in the upper edge area of the front wall 4 by an outwardly bent section 20 of the front wall 4 educated. The cover 8 has a counterpart in the area of Removal opening 19 on a projecting part 21 with which the Removal opening 19 can be covered so far that only one extending over the entire length of the removal opening 19 Slot 22 remains open. The projecting part 21 of the lid 8 has a curvature which corresponds to the curvature of the externally curved section 20 of the front wall 4 corresponds.

Within the outwardly curved portion 20 of the front wall 4, reinforcing ribs 23 are formed (FIG. 10), due to which the removal opening 19 is sufficient Stiffness maintains. To remove individual sheets of paper from a wet paper roll, not shown facilitate, is in the middle of the end portion 24 of the externally curved section 20 a semicircular grip hole 25 trained.

The upper edge 26 of the dispenser housing 2 has a circumferential protruding pad 27 for the lid 8 (Fig. 3 and 4). The pad 27 becomes radial from the top edge 26 protruding wall section 28 formed into a vertical downwardly extending support section 29 merges. To reinforce the walls 5, 6 and 7 of the dispenser housing 2, the radially projecting wall section 28 and the vertical support section 29 are formed support 27 formed between these reinforcing ribs 30, which in the Fig. 10 are shown.

To ensure the tightest possible seal between the dispenser housing 2 and to enable the cover 8, the cover 8 the support sections 29 correspond vertically circumferential holding sections 31 extending below (FIG. 7). The support sections 29 and the holding sections 31 are so dimensioned that the holding portions formed on the cover 8 31 when the cover 8 is placed on the dispenser housing 2 on this formed support sections 29 form-fitting cover up. Thus, a tight fit of the lid 8 on the Dispenser housing 2 guaranteed.

So that the dispenser housing 2 by means of the cover 8 is safe but is also releasably closable, is on the down extending holding portion 31 of the one side portion 32 of the cover 8, a semi-circular hinge 33 for opening of the lid attached. This shows, as from the enlarged Representation in Fig. 7 can be seen, an inward directed right-angled end 34 which in the Holding portion 31 of the cover 8 engages and firmly with these connected is. Spaced to the bent end 34 is on the hinge 33 has an inwardly projecting hook 35, the holding portion 31 of the lid when the lid is in place 8 and the free end of the vertical support section 29 of the Reaches behind the dispenser housing. To release the connection needs only the free end of the hinge 33 slightly forward to be bent, causing the hook 35 to disengage from the free end of the support section 29 of the dispenser housing comes and releases the lid 8.

So that the cover 8 cannot be lost with the dispenser housing 2 is connected, this is at its on the side section 32 opposite side portion 36 formed holding portion 31 with the lower edge 37 of the on the side wall 7 trained support section 29 of the dispenser housing 2 movably connected.

As can be seen from FIG. 10, the removal opening 19 has a length equal to or slightly larger than that Length of the concavely curved middle bottom section 9 along its longitudinal center line is 18. It becomes a straight line and thus safe rolling of the paper roll, not shown guaranteed.

The donor works as follows:

A commercially available moist tissue paper roll, in particular a damp toilet paper roll, the width of which is the length of the middle bottom section 9 along its longitudinal center line 18 corresponds, is inserted into the dispenser housing 2. The sloping bottom end sections 14 and 15 ensure that the paper roll is aligned in the dispenser housing that they are on the concave central bottom section 9 just lies on. Then the end of the paper roll is through the Slot 22 of the removal opening 19 in the front wall 4 of the Dispenser housing led outside. At the same time the Lid closed and fastened by means of hinge 33. Will now be used to remove individual sheets of paper on the free When the end of the paper roll is pulled, the paper roll rotates inside the dispenser housing 2 and is thereby from closed lid 8 pressed uniformly down. The sloping upward lateral bottom end sections 14 and 15 ensure that the paper roll is always in the center the dispenser housing is guided by the arrangement of the Removal opening 19 is supported. Since this is only marginal greater than the length of the central bottom section 9 along the longitudinal center line 18, the paper becomes free of canting deducted from the roll so that an unintentional Damage to the paper roll or individual sheets of paper is excluded.
