Definitions
- the invention relates to a method according to the preamble of claim 1 and to an apparatus for performing the method according to claim 5.
- the cloth towel sheet is dispensed in portions for economical use;
- a cloth loop suitable for hand drying is formed, a portion of the material that has already been used is rolled back. This reduces towel consumption by almost half.
- an additional loop in the towel web mentioned in the claim can be anywhere in the Dispensers are made in front of the wrapping for used cloth and is not limited to a horizontally guided path.
- the method of claim 2 prevents wrinkling in the returned towel and thus ensures a tight winding of the towel used.
- the limitation of the cloth loop according to claim 4 guarantees the user a hygienic towel loop at all times.
- the device for carrying out the method according to claim 5 is oriented to a precise parallel guidance of the roller and prevents its jamming.
- a resilient return of the used cloth part advantageously takes place according to claim 7.
- the design of the roller according to claim 8 results in good contact on the towel, even when wet, allows drying and prevents its sticking to the surface.
- the guidance of the fabric web can be further improved by the side guides according to claim 9. It is advantageous to use path limiting elements according to claim 10 to reduce noise, which also relieves the mechanical elements of the cable pull.
- Fig. 2 is a practically realized pendulum roller with its actuators
- Fig. 3 shows a section of a housing in the
- a dispenser is designated 100.
- the cloth guide is shown from the roll with a clean cloth T until the used cloth T 1 is wound up. It can be seen from FIG. 1 a how an additional loop 1 around a roller 2 is formed in the interior of the dispenser 100.
- roller 2 The practical configuration of a roller 2 can be seen in FIG. 2; in this embodiment it is referred to as a pendulum roller 50.
- This pendulum roller 50 has a structure with notches 51 and has laterally flange-like side guides 53 and one gear wheel 52 each serving for parallel guidance.
- a gripper rocker 55 engages with its recess 56 over its shaft.
- the gripper rocker 55 is pivotally mounted on a bearing pin 64 in the direction p and has on its upper side a tension spring attachment 57, on which an approximately vertically arranged tension spring 58 is suspended.
- a stop pin 59 is used for the forced actuation of the pendulum roller 50 depending on the position of a hood, not shown here.
- a bearing journal 54 is rotatably inserted, on which a pulling rope 60 is suspended, which is guided via a rope pulley 60 'to a winding spool 61 and is wound or held taut by its integrated spiral spring 63.
- a bore 62 of this winding spool 61 is also rotatably mounted in a portioning wheel (not shown) for the cloth dispensing.
- the dispenser 100 is partially disassembled.
- the rear wall 40 of the apparatus housing which is usually attached with its mounting surface M to a vertical wall.
- a side cheek 18 protrudes, which carries a guide and bearing point 41 for a shaft journal 11 of a pivot module that is not visible.
- a curved guide 49 Behind it is a curved guide 49, which also guides the swivel module.
- a recess can be seen, which serves the pin guide 42 for a full display for the cloth T.
- the previously mentioned tension spring 58 is arranged, which is hooked onto the gripper rocker 55 in the tension spring guide 57.
- a guide groove 39 which runs concentrically to an invisible central gearwheel and which serves to guide a friction drive which is intended for winding up the used cloth T ';
- a guide groove 20 widened at the top serves to facilitate the installation of this drive.
- a guide groove 23 which ends in a linear toothing 44, are intended for the parallel guidance of a fabric shell, also not shown, in which the roller with the clean cloth T is vertically displaceably mounted.
- the pendulum roller 50 is drawn in its rear position, analogous to FIG. 1b, and struck on travel limiting elements 50 '. Here you can see their parallel guide 45 with an overhead parallel toothing 46, which guides them axially parallel to the front position shown in dashed lines.
- the pendulum path is labeled p.
- a part of a hood 25 with its bearing journal 24 is also shown for triggering further functions.
- the subject matter of the invention can easily be adapted to the desired length of temporarily returned towel T 1 by specifying the pendulum travel of the roller 2 or the pendulum roller 50.
- the control of the gripper rocker 55 can be implemented via the process of dispensing the cloth; it can also be locked to prevent other functions such as loading the dispenser.
