Definitions
- the invention relates to the technical sector of devices for dispensing wiping paper, cellulose wadding, crepe paper, or similar material intended more particularly for wiping the hands of users, and toilet paper.
- the Applicant is therefore interested in solving this problem by first trying to improve the pressure conditions of the pressing means on the drum, by seeking the most appropriate calibration of the elastic return means.
- the originality consisted in modifying the initial constant circular section of the drum by a variation of its external profile over a part of its periphery, so that it can act in certain operating phases of the device. and cutting distribution of a strip of paper ensuring the best possible tension thereof.
- the drum has on an angular sector of its periphery a zone in excess thickness defined between the edge of the opening of passage of the cutting blade and a line corresponding to the axial end plane of the connecting axis and hooking at the end of the eccentric allowing the drum to be launched with a view to cutting, said zone of additional thickness being in contact with the presser means substantially retractable in position in a floating assembly to absorb changes in thickness of the drum during the phase of traction of the stretched paper strip, then of the cutting of said paper.
- FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the drum object of the invention capable of being engaged in the device for dispensing wiping material of the aforementioned type; shown without its eye-catching coating of paper.
- FIG. 2 is a side view of the wiping material dispensing device with the cover removed illustrating the various components of the device, and in particular the drum and the floating assembly of the pressing means;
- FIGS 3,4 and 5 are schematic views illustrating the position of the drum during the cutting phase, and in particular the successive positions of the excess thickness area established on the drum as well as the relative position of the pressing means.
- the apparatus according to the invention including the improved drum and the floating mounting of the pressing means on the drum, helping to ensure constant tensioning of the strip of wiping material, is suitable for the distribution of the automatic or semi cutting -automatic wiping material in any suitable material, cellulose wadding, crepe paper and the like, in a folded or unfolded situation, for wiping hands or dispensing toilet paper.
- It comprises a casing (2) molded in plastic material capable of receiving in its upper part a coil (3) for supplying wiping material or toilet paper held between upper flanges (4) attached to quick mounting on the bottom of the casing or otherwise.
- Lower flanges (5) are attached and fixed for quick mounting or otherwise, on the bottom face (2a) of the casing and are fitted with notches (5a) allowing the fastening and quick mounting of the drum (6) including its device cutting (7) with serrated blade (7a).
- Said cutting device is articulated, as described above, with a serrated heel mechanism (8) associated with the cutting blade which cooperates with a fixed rack (9) established on the inner flank (5b) of one of the flanges (5) of the housing.
- the drum has a longitudinal opening (6f) allowing the passage and exit of the cutting blade.
- the drum is arranged in a known manner corresponding to the teaching of French patent no. 7604664
- One end is positioned and centered on one of the flanges of the housing (5), while the other end has an axis (6a) in 5
- Said axis (6a) has an eccentric shape (6b) whose end (6c) forming a finger constitutes the point of attachment of one end (10a) of a return and launch spring (10), the latter having its other end (10b) fixed to the casing at the rear of the flange (5) opposite.
- a pressing means (11) in the form of a cylinder is of length corresponding to that of the drum, and is capable of being supported thereon by being positioned between the abovementioned flanges (5). As illustrated in FIG.
- the dispensing device thus known can be arranged incidentally but not necessarily with a non-return device (12) of the strip of wiping material, thus comprising a roller (13) resting on the reel of wiping material, this roller being positioned between the flanges (5) of the casing on a bent lever (14) secured to an elastic return means (15) fixed to the flanges (5) of the casing.
- a belt (16) is capable of surrounding the drum (6) and the anti-loop roller.
- the drum (6) which is formed in the form of a hollow cylinder, for example present on a part of its outer periphery and according to a determined angular sector ( ⁇ ), a continuous bulge zone (17) which has the purpose of be in certain operating phases of the device in contact with the pressing means (11), by requesting the displacement of the latter in a floating arrangement with respect to receptive oval openings (18) formed on the end plates (5) presser means (1 1).
- This continuous oversized area (17) can be of the order of 0.7 mm to 1.5 mm depending on requirements. Referring to FIG. 3 illustrating the appliance in the non-operating phase, the extra thickness zone is established between the edge (19) of the longitudinal opening (6f) for the passage of the cutting blade. 6
- This extra thickness zone (17) can be constituted by an attached wall established or directly formed over the entire length ( ⁇ ) of the drum in the sector considered.
- FIG. 1 of the drawings an exemplary embodiment of a drum (6) which comprises from its central shaft (6d) a plurality of radial discs (6e), thus allowing relief of said drum.
- the extra thickness wall (17) is extended as shown in the drawings over a part of the periphery (6th 1) of the radial discs (6th) until it comes substantially in the axial plane of the line AA described above.
- the eye-catching covering emery cloth
- the angular sector ( ⁇ ) corresponding to this area in excess thickness is of the order of 1 10 to 140 °.
- the openings made (18) on the flanges and allowing the reception of the pressing means (11) are ovalized to allow free and floating mounting of said pressing means (11).
- the depth of these ovalized openings is such that they absorb the displacement of the pressing means (1 1) in contact with the drum (6) when said pressing means (11) is in bearing and rolling on the area in excess thickness established on said drum .
- said flanges (5) can be arranged with several pairs (18) of lights or ovalized holes, to allow positioning of drums of different diameters.
- Figures 3,4 and 5 of the drawings schematically illustrate the rotation of the drum (6) during the pulling effect of the end of the strip (B) of material by the user and thus the cutting of the paper strip according to the pre-established format.
- Figure 5 corresponds to the maximum launch phase of the drum (6) with return effect, corresponding to the situation in which the spring (10) associated with the eccentric (6b) is in the position of maximum stress.
- the cutting blade (7a) is in the extended position during the cutting phase, while the pressing means (11) is in contact with the end of the extra thickness zone (17) established on the drum (6).
- the operating mode thus described makes it possible to enhance the effect sought at the basis of the invention, namely a constant tension exerted on the stretched paper strip during the distribution and then cutting phase. After the passage of the sector, the removal of this pressure allows the strip of material to exit very freely without any braking.
- the invention thus makes it possible to use the improved drum (6) and the floating mounting of the pressing means (11) to authorize the cutting of any folded or unfolded wiping material or toilet paper and of any material.
- the interior characteristics of the drum are arbitrary.
- the example shown in Figure 1 of the drawings is illustrated as a possible execution.
- the originality lies in the formation on an angular sector ( ⁇ ) of the periphery of said drum of a thick zone (17) on a sector substantially corresponding to the contacting of the cutting blade with the strip of wiping paper to be cut after pressing between the pressing means and the drum until the final phase of cutting.
