Definitions
- the invention relates to a device for storing, dispensing and moistening cleaning paper, in particular toilet paper humidifier, which optionally dispenses dry or moistened cleaning paper, having a housing which accommodates a supply roll rotatably arranged therein and an associated tank which holds a cleaning liquid and is equipped with an activatable moistening element is.
- Devices of this type in particular toilet paper humidifiers, are known in various designs. Attempts have repeatedly been made to develop a corresponding humidifier which, in particular, provides the toilet paper in a suitable manner and with sufficient moisture so as to improve the cleaning effect when using the toilet paper.
- Appropriate solutions are known from DE-OS 42 43 408.4, DBP 160 993, DE-OS 28 28 163, PCT-WO 92/08403 and US Pat. No. 3,800,494.
- Utility model 77 15 417, DE-OS 34 12 069, 34 09 905 and the relatively recent patent 196 30 686 also show different solutions on how to achieve uniform moistening of the toilet paper.
- the invention is therefore based on the object of providing a toilet paper humidifier in which moistening of the cleaning paper in the idle state is automatically excluded.
- the wetting element is assigned paper transfer elements which are designed and arranged to be resilient in the direction of the wetting element and resilient via the cleaning paper located in the fume cupboard, a friction generator influencing the cleaning paper being provided, preferably being arranged upstream of the paper transfer elements in the direction of the supply roll ,
- the moistening element is designed to be driven by the cleaning roller that is drivable from the supply roll and that absorbs moisture from the tank, preferably a roller or ball.
- Safe storage of the tank in the housing and also unaffected by the receiving space for the supply roll is provided if the housing has a drawer which is adapted to the tank and has resilient dents and / or grids which characterize the insertion depth of the tank.
- the user notices when the tank is pushed into the drawer when it reaches the end position, so that the exact position of the roller is guaranteed.
- pulling out it is prevented from being pulled out too far, for example if the tank is only to be filled with water or cleaning fluid again, because the dents and / or raster indicate this at an early stage.
- Such a tank inserted into the drawer also receives the roller, over which the cleaning paper is moistened if the user so wishes. It is particularly advantageous if the tank is made in two parts and consists of a tank cap and a lower tank part, because cleaning is possible in this way. While the tank as such is a stable component, the interior, i.e. H. So the cavity of the tank can be easily reached and cleaned, ultimately even by placing both parts of the tank in a dishwasher.
- a tank with a low overall height, despite a sufficiently large roller, is achieved if the tank has a front part in the form of a type of cross tube, in which the preferably roller is arranged and to which the paper transfer elements are assigned.
- a sufficiently large roller can thus be stored in the cross-tube-like front part, the paper transfer elements also being provided here, which hold the paper above the roller in the idle state.
- Filling or refilling of the tank is possible in a simple and expedient manner in that the tank cap has a circumferential edge on the upper side and is designed overall to form a central depression facing the tank bottom, in the approximate center of which a recess serving as a filling opening is formed.
- the user does not have to fill the water or the cleaning liquid exactly into the filling opening; it is sufficient if he fills the cleaning liquid on the front part or the horizontal cover part.
- the cleaning liquid then runs automatically into the recess and thus into the tank.
- the respective position of the tank in the housing can be specified by the dents and raster, the handling of the entire device is made even easier and a safe filling is always guaranteed.
- the filler opening can also be used as a fill level indicator in that the recess has a round web which projects into the cavity of the tank and which projects approximately at a right angle from the inside of the tank cap.
- the cleaning liquid cannot spill over, because one or more transverse ribs acting as a baffle or as baffle edges are arranged on the inside of the tank cap and / or the tank bottom.
- one rib or a partial rib assigned to both parts is sufficient to prevent this spilling over, but one can also provide several such transverse ribs as seen in the length of the tank.
- the paper transfer elements mentioned earlier here are important because over it is ensured that the paper cannot come into contact with the damp roller even in the idle state.
- a simple and expedient design of these paper transfer elements is that in which they are designed as spring elements which are arranged between the moistening rollers which form the roller, are arranged at a distance from one another, are formed from the tank cap or are formed adaptively and project in the idle state above the moistening rollers. These spring elements are then pressed down when the paper is to be moistened, whereby they can swing between the moistening rollers so that the roller or the moistening rollers can then carry out their moistening process evenly and safely.
- the invention provides that the spring elements are cut out of the cross-tube-like front part of the tank cap and resilient via their base located in the horizontal cover part and fixed there are fixed.
- the spring elements are also produced in such a way that they also take up their position immediately above the inserted dampening rollers and can then be pressed down over the paper, so that the gaps between the spring elements are also over the dampening rollers Water or cleaning fluid can be used.
- the invention achieves a secure mounting of the moistening rollers in that transverse webs with guide knobs for mounting the moistening rollers are formed between the spring elements.
- the moistening rollers are therefore simply pressed into the guide knobs and can then be rotated slightly over the paper in order to moisten the cleaning paper with cleaning liquid, and not over the entire width, but rather only in appropriate strips.
- This process is favored by the fact that the dampening rollers have a smooth surface, ie always apply the water or cleaning liquid evenly to the paper surface.
- a "weakening" of the cleaning paper by the cleaning liquid or Water is prevented by arranging two moistening rollers at a distance of about the width of the roller from the edge of the cross tube-like front part.
- the edge area of the cleaning paper is therefore always unaffected by the cleaning liquid, so that it can be safely removed from the housing and from the supply roll.
- the moistening rollers expediently have a structured surface.
- the invention achieves a particularly favorable and safe mounting of the moistening rollers in that the moistening rollers have an axis which is at least long enough to correspond to the width of the outer moistening of the moistening and are connected to it by a central web.
- the rollers are guided evenly and quietly and absorb as much liquid as necessary from the tank and transfer it to the cleaning paper in order to moisten it in a specific strip or in a specific strip width.
- the rocker has a favorable effect as described below.
- domes are assigned to the top of the tank cap, preferably on both sides of the recess. This dome ensures that the tank sits securely within the drawer.
- the invention further provides that the housing has a housing cover which can be locked on the housing to form a tear-off edge and which has a paper hold-down device.
- This allows the tear-off edge to be fixed in a simple and expedient manner on the housing, specifically here on the housing cover, which in turn is fixed to the housing again.
- there is a latching that is to say a releasable connection, since the housing must be opened via the housing cover when a new supply roll is inserted.
- With hang up again or When the housing cover is pivoted it is fixed to the housing so that the tear-off edge is again available in a fixed form.
- the dry cleaning paper is thus guided over the moistened roller over the paper transfer elements and can then be torn off at the tear-off edge.
- the paper hold-down ensures that the cleaning paper can be fixed or braked within the housing.
- housing cover is pivotally connected to the housing via shaft journals.
- this enables the production of corresponding housings from a plurality of parts which are then to be connected to one another.
- the housing cover engages with the shaft journals in corresponding bores or recesses in the housing and is then effectively fixed.
- a form-fitting integration of the housing cover is achieved in that the housing cover has a double edge which is designed to correspond to the web of the housing for external fixation.
- the housing cover thus encompasses the web of the housing or its side walls, so that after the housing cover snaps into place, it becomes a unit with the housing and can therefore take over its function as a tear-off edge or tear-off edge indicator.
- the latching of the housing cover and the housing can be achieved in that the housing cover is equipped on the free edge with receptacles which are arranged correspondingly with the housing walls of the housing and are designed to be latchable.
- the receptacles reach behind the locking lugs, so that the housing cover is advantageously fixed. It goes without saying that the locking lugs can be pivoted again so that the housing cover can then swing open.
- the release of the locking is achieved in that the locking lugs are assigned to the side of the housing protruding keys that can also be operated when the housing cover is closed. By pressing the buttons down, the latches are pulled out of the receptacles and the lid can be opened the.
- the keys are assigned stops which limit their pivoting path and integrated spring struts which are arranged and designed to lift the housing cover after unlocking. Overloading the keys is initially avoided because they can only be pressed down to these stops. Then it is ensured that the locking lugs are free, so that the integrated spring struts ensure that the housing cover is automatically opened a certain way so that it can be swung away completely by hand.
- the button, strut and associated abutment web are detachably connected to the housing wall and are preferably fixed via a securing spring.
- the securing spring is supported on a U-shaped web, which is arranged to guide the supply roll with the web assigned to the opposite housing wall in a projecting manner above these walls and running parallel to the housing base. Due to the structure of this opening and securing mechanism as described, an easy assembly and, if necessary, an exchange of these individual components is possible.
- the invention provides that the housing cover has a rocker attached directly or indirectly to the free edge is assigned, which is equipped at one rocker end with the tear-off edge and at the other rocker end with the paper hold-down device.
- the rocker arranged at the bottom or also at the free edge of the housing cover thus defines the tear-off edge and at the same time and with the same process of tearing off ensures that the "remaining" rest or the end of the roll is held, so that the tear-off process continues as before mentioned above, can be accomplished easily and quickly by hand or even by one hand.
- the tearing of the cleaning paper to be torn off is facilitated in that the rocker end having the tear-off edge is narrower than the cleaning paper and has tear-off corners sharpened on both sides and has a handle recess in the center. This makes the tear-off process easier, but above all it ensures that the cleaning paper can really be removed at the desired location, preferably the perforated location.
- the double property of the rocker can be used particularly cheaply and safely if the rocker is pivotally mounted on a receptacle that protrudes from the housing cover, is directly molded on or is preferably adaptively attached and serves as a friction generator at the end and is designed in the form of a pressure spring.
- This means that the rocker not only takes care of tearing off the cleaning paper and simultaneously holding it on the paper hold-down device, but also when pulling off the cleaning paper, the necessary friction is generated by the pressure spring always pressing evenly on the cleaning paper.
- a stop is arranged on the back of the rocker, which ensures that the paper hold-down device is always at a fixed distance from the toilet paper due to the top weight of the rocker.
- the effect of the pressure spring or the friction generator is ensured by the spring force of the pressure spring being set in such a way that it is less than the tear strength of the cleaning paper, so that, in particular in the case of perforated cleaning paper, it is prevented that an unintentional separation can take place. Rather, the cleaning paper is only "held back" to the extent that it is braked to ensure that the paper transfer elements are pressed down.
- the pressure spring is designed to adapt itself torsionally to the intermediate floor of the housing, so that braking is always necessary, even if the bottom of the housing has warped in a disadvantageous manner. The pressure spring adapts to it.
- the housing is fastened to the wall in a known manner, for example next to the toilet.
- the invention provides these and other fastening options in that the housing rear wall, the housing base and / or the housing walls have bores, recesses, hooks and the like. So the toilet paper moistening device can be attached at the appropriate point in such a way that it can then be handled with the necessary security. It is also conceivable that such a device for example for hand cleaning paper, for the changing area for babies and the like. ⁇ . is used.
- Removing the tank from the drawer is favored in that the housing base has a recess for receiving a recessed grip formed in the tank bottom. This means that the tank can be safely removed even if it has been sitting in the drawer for a long time.
- the housing is assigned a stand which is preferably height-adjustable and fixable and is connected to it by means of fastening means.
- a pluggable, screwable or similar training can be selected here.
- a table stand can also be used to clamp the device to a table edge in this way, for example.
- At least one, preferably more than one wall webs maintaining the distance between the supply roll are provided on the inside of the housing rear wall in order to maintain a defined distance between the toilet roll and the fastening means located on the rear wall.
- housing with housing cover and rocker and the tank are made of impact-resistant, food-safe plastic.
- This also gives the possibility of giving the device different shapes or a design. Both an optically appealing design and easy handling are given, for example, if the visible surfaces are slightly matt. Black, white or colored plastic versions are also possible.
- metallized versions are also to be regarded as an option, in particular the tank being designed as a dishwasher-safe version.
- the invention is characterized in particular by the fact that a device is created with which, for the first time and in an elegant and skillful manner, it is possible to unroll toilet paper or other cleaning wipes from a supply roll and to remove them either in part lengths dry or moistened, after one Appropriate execution, this is even possible with a single hand, because the seesaw provides the necessary prerequisites.
- Another advantage is that there is the possibility of achieving an exact tearing off of either the dry or the moistened paper, regardless of whether there is a corresponding weak point for it or not. It is particularly advantageous that with absolute certainty the user is given dry or moistened cleaning paper because the paper transfer elements ensure that inadvertent moistening cannot take place, especially in the idle state.
- the transfer spring elements ensure that the cleaning paper is always kept at the necessary distance from the moistening rollers even in the idle state. Only by deliberately pulling off and simultaneously pressing down the moistening elements is it possible to specifically moisten the cleaning paper with cleaning liquid in predetermined strips.

- the rear wall 10 of the housing 4 is flat and flat in order to expediently fix the entire housing 4 to the wall with the aid of, for example, screws.
- bores 37 which are also offset from one another, can facilitate attachment to a wall. The same is indicated in Fig. 4.
- the housing walls 11 forming the sides are also correspondingly flat, so that the entire paper humidifier 1 can also be attached in corners, or a plurality of such paper humidifiers 1 next to one another.
- bores, hooks or the like can be provided in order to enable attachment at any suitable points.
- the tank 6 is integrated in the entire housing 4. For this purpose, this has a drawer 12. This can be seen in particular in FIG. 2.
- the intermediate housing base 13 can also be seen here, which together with the housing base 9 and the corresponding housing walls 11 forms the drawer 12.
- the moistening element 8 is designed as a roller 15, the front part 40 of the tank 6 being designed to form a type of transverse roller for this purpose.
- So-called paper transfer elements 16 are assigned to this roller 15, which ensure that this cleaning paper 2 cannot come into contact with the roller 15 in the idle state, but also when dry cleaning paper is required. For the formation of the paper transfer elements 16, further details are given further below.
- the housing In order to be able to tear off the cleaning paper 2 when it is pulled off the supply roll 3 even when it is being pulled out of the housing 4, the housing is provided with a correspondingly fixed tear-off edge 17, this tear-off edge 17 being separated from the free edge 25 of the housing cover 5 or a rocker 30, which is explained in more detail further below, is formed.
- this housing cover 5 is fixed on the housing 4 in such a way that the necessary abutment is created.
- the entire housing cover 5 is first pivotally attached to the housing 4 by means of shaft journals 18, the housing walls 11 forming webs 20 which are enclosed by the double edge 19 of the housing cover 5.
- the actual latching of housing cover 5 and housing 4 is explained with reference to FIGS. 2 and 3. In the closed state, FIG.
- buttons 23, 23 ' can be attached to the side, by means of which the latching to be explained further below can be released.
- the rocker 30 thus leaves space in the edge area for the arrangement of the keys 23.
- the arrangement of the receptacles 26, which interact with the latching noses 27 on the housing wall 11, can be seen in FIGS. 2 and 3.
- the locking lugs 27 can be pressed down by the buttons 23, so that the locking is then released.
- the struts 24 then push up the housing cover 5 for a certain area, so that it is then swung open entirely by hand and without any problems.
- Lugs 27 and spring struts 24 are attached laterally to the housing wall 11 and are supported by an abutment web 74 and connected to the housing wall 11 via a recess 73 and secured by means of securing springs 77.
- FIG. 2 also shows the drawer 12 because the tank 6 has been removed in the illustration according to FIG. 2.
- the U-shaped web 78 can also be seen on the inside of the housing wall 11, which runs parallel to the intermediate housing base 13 and on which the securing spring 77 is fixed.
- the vertical wall webs 82 attached to the inside 81 of the rear wall 10, which ensure that the supply roll 3, which is not shown here, is at a distance from the bores 37 or the fastening means introduced therein, so that when the supply roll rolls off 3 tearing off of the cleaning paper 2 cannot occur.
- a grip edge 22 is provided or a recess 79, so that when the tank 6 is pushed in, the recessed grip 80 provided there can be easily gripped in order to be able to pull the tank 6 out of the drawer 12.
- FIG. 3 show the housing cover 5 in different views. 3.1 it can be seen that a receptacle 29 for the rocker 30 is provided on the free edge 25. This receptacle 29 is fixed according to FIG. 3.6 with its opposite end on the inside of the housing cover 5.
- the web-shaped receptacle 29 allows the rocker 30 to move to a certain extent, so that the rocker end 31 with the paper hold-down 32 can be supported on the intermediate housing base 13.
- the friction generator 14 which brakes the supply roll 3 or rather the cleaning paper 2 is shown here in the form of a pressure spring 75, this pressure spring 75 being designed such that it can even out any unevenness in the intermediate housing base 13 in order to achieve the necessary friction to deliver evenly.
- a stop 76 ensures that the pressure of both the paper hold-down 32 and the pressure spring 75 cannot become too great.
- the rocker end 33 protruding from the housing 4, which forms the tear-off edge 17, is shaped in such a way that a handle recess 72 results and, in addition, rather sharp-edged tear-off corners 70, 71 due to a certain narrowing compared to the width of the cleaning paper 2.
- the tear-off corners 70, 71 3.2 and 3.4 clearly visible. It can also be seen that the tear-off edge 17 is "tightened” because there are teeth 35 on the tear-off top 34 or on the side where the cleaning paper 2 is influenced.
- the tear-off corners 70, 71 force the cleaning paper 2 to tear off even when there is no perforation in it.
- the corresponding support of the rocker 30 takes place via the paper hold-down 32 when pressure is correspondingly applied to the rocker 30.
- FIGS. 3.5 and 3.6 illustrate once again the arrangement and design of the receptacle 26, which correspond to the latching noses 27, not shown here. It is a kind of projecting web on which The corresponding receptacle 26 is formed at the end, a receptacle 26 being arranged and formed at the ends of the rocker 30.
- Fig. 3.6 shows the arrangement of the rocker 30 seen from the shaft journal 18. As already described further above, the attachment of the receptacle 29 to the inside of the housing cover 5 is fixed here.
- Fig. 4a shows a section in which the tank 6 is shown in the inserted state. It can be seen that the cleaning liquid 7 reaches as far as the collar 43, so that it was recognizable from the outside before the insertion into the drawer 12 that there was sufficient filling.
- the cavity 44 is filled with cleaning liquid 7 via the recess 43 in the tank cap 39.
- the rib 47 on the inside 46 of the tank lid 39 or the tank bottom 38 ensures that cleaning liquid 7 cannot spill over both when it is pushed in and during other handling.
- the compact design of the tank 6, which can be pushed into the drawer 12 as a whole, can also be seen here, the grip edge 22 or the recessed grip 80 ensuring that the tank 6 can be easily reached.
- the lower tank part 42 with the tank cap 39 form the tank 6, which receives the roller 15 in the tubular front part 40. The storage of this roller 15 and the moistening rollers 50, 51 is explained further below.
- FIG. 4b shows a section of a paper humidifier 1, but with a slightly different design of the rocker 30 or its holder and also the fixing of the housing cover 5.
- a spring 25 ' is arranged at the end of the receptacle 29, which limits the pivoting movement of the rocker 30 ,
- a toggle switch 23 'and a latching device 27' are also provided here as a fixation. But this configuration also ensures that the rolling cleaning paper 2 can be fixed by placing the paper hold-down 32 on the intermediate housing base 13.
- the storage of the supply roll 3 in the housing 4 can be seen here, this housing being or can be designed such that it can be used practically for all paper rolls or supply rolls 3.
- the inside 46 of the tank cap 39 is designed to form a round web 45 in the region of the recess 43, so that a level indicator is created at the same time as this configuration. It can also be seen in FIG. 4 that the upper side 49 of the tank cap 39 is designed to form a trough in order to ensure that the filled-in cleaning liquid 7 virtually enters the tank 6.
- FIG. 5 shows a bottom view of the closed tank 6, whereby the arrangement of the recessed grip 80 can be seen, and the shape of the front part 40 can also be seen.
- FIG. 6 shows a top view of the closed tank 6, where the trough-shaped design of the upper side 49 can be seen and also the all-round edge 48; so that overall an easy and safe filling of the cleaning liquid 7 is possible. Also recognizable here are the domes 69, which are intended to ensure that the inserted tank 6 is firmly seated because they press under the intermediate housing base 13 in the inserted state. 6, the roller 15 consists of two moistening rollers 50, 51 which are rotatably mounted in the front part 40, between which the spring elements 52, 53, 54 designed as paper transfer elements 16 are arranged.
- the spring elements 52, 53, 54 are fixed to the cover part 55 and are curved so that they always protrude as finger-like spring elements 52, 53, 54 so far beyond the surface 59 of the moistening rollers 50, 51 and thus ensure that the cleaning paper 2 is kept dry, if so desired. If, on the other hand, the cleaning paper 2 is to be moistened, it is braked by the friction generator 14 or the pressure spring 75 to such an extent that when the cleaning paper 2 is pulled over the moistening rollers 50, 51, the spring elements 52, 53, 54 are pressed down and moistening the Cleaning paper 2 can be done.
- the spring forces are designed in such a way that they are somewhat weaker than the tearing force that is required, for example, to be able to tear off the cleaning paper 2 in the area of a perforation. A precise transfer of the cleaning paper 2 over the roller 15 or the spring elements 52, 54 is ensured because leading edges 64 are formed on the side of the spring elements 52, 54.
- the attachment of the spring elements 52, 53, 54 to the horizontal cover is identified separately as the base 56 in order to emphasize the resilient effect of these finger-like spring elements 52, 53, 54 in particular.
- FIG. 7 shows the tank cap 39 from the top view, similar to FIG. 6, but with the moistening rollers 50, 51 removed here. It can be seen with these moistening rollers 50, 51 that they have an axis 65.
- the outer humidification ring 66 is connected to the axis 65 via a central web 67.
- the top or the outer moistening of the moistening 66 is smooth-walled, and slight corrugation can also be provided in order to specifically lift cleaning liquid 7 out of the tank 6 when rotating.
- the three spring elements 52, 53, 54 are fixed to the base 56 in a finger-like manner and are arranged and designed such that they protrude somewhat beyond the outer moistening ring 66 and the dampening rollers 50, 51.
- the humidification Roll 50, 51 receiving trough, transverse webs 57 are arranged with guide knobs 58, so as to allow a good mounting of the axis 65 of the moistening rollers 50, 51 and also easy disassembly because the two parts of the tank 6, ie the tank bottom 38 and that Tank bottom 42 should be easy to clean.
- the fuel cap 39 and the lower part 42 of the tank have an edge 60 which enables both parts to be securely and tightly pushed onto one another. This practically results in tank edges 62, 63 which ensure secure sealing.
- FIGS. 9 and 10 once show the lower tank part 42 from the underside, the recessed grip 80 formed in the tank bottom 38 being recognizable.
- FIG. 10 shows the tank cap from the underside and the transverse webs 57 arranged and formed there with guide knobs 58 which are provided and designed to receive the moistening rollers 50, 51.
