Definitions
- the present invention relates to a winding roller according to the preamble of claim 1.
- PCT / CH96 / 00141 discloses a method for simplified threading and / or moving flat strip material in a towel dispenser.
- a winding mandrel is used to wind up the towel, which is inserted into an end collar - an open hem - of the towel.
- special end pieces are provided on the clean towel rolls, which engage in the grooves or coil springs of a roller and roll up the towel after it has been used.
- the device should be easy to use manually without additional aids or external energy.
- the embodiment according to claim 1 is characterized by its simple manufacture.
- the embodiment according to claim 2 is more complex to manufacture and, due to its slender clamping rail, more sensitive to rough treatment when the towel roll is replaced.
- Both variants allow a very simple loading of a towel dispenser with a clean towel and an equally easy removal of the winding roller on the used towel, i.e. the winding roller remains with the towel dispenser when the dirty towel roll is sent back to the laundry; it is used with the next clean roll.
- the embodiment according to claim 3 results in a high friction between the band material and the winding roller, which guarantees a slip-free operation.
- the embodiment according to claim 4 ensures a defined fixing of the band material without overlaps and folds occurring when the pivot lever is closed.
- the resulting linear clamping of the strip material means that the entire winding body can be removed in the axial direction, even from a tightly wound roll.
- an elongated hole at the swivel point makes it easier to position the swivel lever parallel to the axis.
- the one-piece design of the clamping rail in combination with the lateral flange is particularly advantageous, as a result of which it is also realized in a plastic material and has sufficient strength.
- the linear supports according to claim 6 result in an optimal clamping effect in the radial direction without hindering the pulling out of the winding roller in the axial direction.
- top of the clamping rail in accordance with claim 7 ensures a uniform frictional resistance over the entire circumference of the winding roller.
- the cross-section of the clamping rail is of particular importance, so that it can be easily pulled out and pulled out into the strip material, cf. Claim 8. These processes can be further facilitated by a progressive increase in the cross section in the direction of the clamping point of the spring.
- Lateral trunnions according to claim 9 ensure good guidance of the roll in the towel dispenser and allow simplified handling when exchanging the strip material.
- a version according to claim 10, made of plastic, has proven particularly useful, since it cannot harm the wetness and other substances adhering to the dirty towel.
- FIG. 1 shows a typical arrangement of the strip material in a towel dispenser with textile strip material and a winding roller underneath
- FIG. 5 shows the winding roller
- FIG. 4 in a top view, with the strip material inserted
- 6 shows an arrangement analogous to FIG. 1, with a variant of a winding roller with a clamping rail
- FIG. 7 shows the winding roller from FIG. 6 in an enlarged plan view
- FIG. 12 is a plan view from the front of the winding roller, which shows the zigzag guidance of the towel,
- Fig. 14 is a perspective view of the underside of the end portion of the clamping rail Fig. 13 and
- a towel dispenser is indicated and designated 10.
- a roll 1 with clean towel 2 The unwound end of this band-shaped towel 2 is fixed in a winding roller 100 by means of a pivot lever 102 and is by a rotary motion coupled with the unwinding process from the roll 1, after each use ( Hand drying), wound up until all the tape material is on it.
- the direction of transport of the strip material is denoted by T and its thickness by 3.
- Figure 2 shows a view of the winding roller Fig. 1 in direction A, so that the configuration of the tip of the
- Swivel lever 102 with its lower bevel 103 and a chamfer 104 can be seen. - You can also see the pivot point of the lever 102 located on the opposite side with its transverse, pin-shaped axis 106, a central bearing pin 107 and axially parallel grooves
- Friction surface 108 The bearing pin 107 is part of a side flange 111, which has an upper recess 112 for the lateral extraction of the band material 2. This band material 2 is only indicated and its texture engages in the grooves of the friction surface 108.
- FIG. 3 shows the view of the winding roller 100 from the direction B with the bearing journal 107 protruding from a closed side flange 111 'and the external friction surface 108.
- 4 and 5 show the winding roller 100 in all its details, the viewing directions of FIG. 1 here corresponding to the side designations A and B.
- the pivot lever 102 has an elongated hole 105 at its pivot point, the axis 106, which permits height compensation on the inserted towel.
- the maximum swivel angle s of the lever 102 is over 90 °, so that the towel can be placed over the groove 101 without problems, over its entire width, and can be fixed therein by the lever 102.
- the width 109 of the groove 101 must be greater than the width by two times its thickness 3, FIG. 1 110 of the pivot lever 102 so that it can engage at all with the inserted cloth 2.
- the width of the pivoting lever is equal to its diameter, cf. Fig. 4 with Fig. 5, i.e. it is a round bar.
- a round bar is advantageous compared to another profile bar, since it engages when closing due to an embodiment of the groove 101, as shown in FIG. 2, and the cloth 2 holds the cloth 2 securely from the start.
- the second variant of a bobbin Fig. 6 to Fig. 13 is based on the insertion of the tape material / towel 2 like a paper clip, in contrast to this is Towel 2 in the pulling direction T, ie secured in the longitudinal direction, cf. 6 and 10.
- FIGS. 7 and 8 represent a winding roller 200 analogously to FIGS. 4 and 5.
- a clamping rail 202 is provided which clamps the towel 2 and which is resilient in a tapered transition point 213 in a side flange 211 with bearing pins 207 is held.
- the clamping rail 202 as well as the rest of the periphery of the winding roller 200 are provided with friction surfaces 208; the left trunnion - on side A - is labeled 207 '.
- FIG. 7 shows the winding roller in a top view of the clamping rail 202, while FIG. 8 shows it rotated by 90 °.
- FIG. 9 shows a base body 210 made of a commercially available plastic, with a friction surface 208, formed from axially parallel grooves.
- This body 210 is provided with an essentially rectangular groove 201, which extends over the entire length of the body. Support strips 217 can be seen in the groove 201, which fix the strip material 2 in connection with the clamping rail 202.
- FIG. 9 in connection with FIG. 10 indicates the hollow box-like structure of the base body 210. Rectangular recesses 216 are used to assemble (snap) individual parts that are preformed.
- the front end of the winding roller 200 can be seen in FIG. 11, with one end of a towel 2 being clamped between the base body 210 and the clamping rail 202.
- FIG. 12 shows the winding roller 200, viewed from a top view from A, with the towel 2 inserted, the towel being folded over several times, with a large wrap angle overall and also under the pressure of the clamping rail 202 in the pulling direction ⁇ T - with normal loads - immovable is captured.
- FIG. 13 shows the entire length of the clamping rail 202 in a top view - viewed from the side of the cloth - together with its one-piece side flange 211 and the tongue 203 formed at the opposite end. protruding grid tongues 212, which are used for fastening in the base body 210, FIG. 9.
- Polycarbonate was selected as the material for the clamping rail 202 and an acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene copolymer (ABS) was selected for the friction surfaces 108 and 208.
- ABS acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene copolymer
