Definitions

  • the invention relates to the technical sector of devices for dispensing wiping paper in cellulose wadding, crepe paper and similar material intended more particularly for wiping the hands of users, for dispensing toilet paper, for distribution of paper towels.
  • a casing (1) having a bottom (la) and two lateral wings (lb), said casing extending in its lower part with an inclined profile (the), the assembly having a profile adapted to allow receiving and hinging a cover (2).
  • the casing In its lower part, the casing is capable of receiving, in a known manner, a drum (3), hollow internally, to receive a cutting device (4).
  • the casing receives two flanges (5a) (5b) capable of receiving, with articulation, a reel holder (6) having end caps (6d) supply supports for a reel of wiping material ( b).
  • the wiping reel is supported on the drum (3) allowing the passage and unrolling of the strip of material at the rear of the apparatus between the drum and the bottom wall of the casing, so that said strip material is likely to lead into the lower part of the device
  • the drum has on its periphery a self-gripping strip (3a) in contact with the material to allow the holding and facilitate tearing after cutting operation. To ensure that the reel of material is held on the drum, it is necessary to exert a certain constant contact pressure, throughout the unwinding of the reel of material, whatever the efforts made.
  • the drum can be described of the type described in the aforementioned French patents, but it can alternatively provide, according to French patent n ° 89/17570, two openings (3b) formed at the periphery of the drum and allowing orientation and the engagement of the corresponding parts of the strip of material in the event of angular traction of the end of the paper strip by the user, traction not in accordance with a normal traction defined in the front extension of the device.
  • the applicant has also developed a particular device allowing the control of the good progress of the strip of paper to material according to the diameter and the weight of the paper roll, according to the tension of tension exerted on the projecting end of the paper at exit apparatus.
  • a device has been described in French patent No. 2,764,276.
  • the applicant has observed, in use, a problem with the behavior of the coil of material with respect to its support flanges ( 5a - 5b). Whatever the characteristics of said flanges and their realization, there is in use a slight tilting of the coil to the left, according to an inclination ( ⁇ ) of a few degrees, causing the device to stop operating and the non distribution of paper.
  • the support flanges (5 a - 5b) of the coil then come into contact between the wings (lb) of the casing and there are effects of jamming of the strip of paper which cannot exit directly through the lower opening of the apparatus.
  • the user must then actuate the manual loading button (9) disposed laterally to the device which causes the rotation of the drum and the exit of the strip of material.
  • the action on the loading button is mandatory to put the device in working condition. If this manipulation is not really troublesome in itself, it nevertheless causes some inconvenience to the user who has the impression of having a device whose operation is random. This also requires that the user has the idea of pressing the load button, which is far from obvious if we consider that these types of dispensing devices are placed in public places where there are a multitude of potential users.
  • the applicant's approach was therefore to seek to improve the operation of such devices for dispensing wiping material by avoiding punctual interventions on the loading button, by allowing automatic and regular distribution of strips of material in the face of constant control of the positioning of the material reel inside the device.
  • the device for distributing a strip of automatic cut material of the type comprising a casing (1) having a bottom (la), two lateral wings (lb) and extending in its lower part with an inclined profile ( le) and receiving a cover (2), said casing receiving an internally hollow drum (3) with a longitudinal slot receiving an articulated cutting device (4), said casing receiving two flanges (5 a - 5b) arranged at articulation to receive a reel holder (6) supporting a reel of wiping material (b), said drum having, on a part of its periphery, a self-gripping strip (3a), said drum being associated with launching means , an eccentric (10) and return spring (11) and a loading button (9), is characterized in that it comprises a device for controlling and repositioning the reel of wiping material intervening at each turn of drum rotation, said di spositif (12) being arranged on the drum and having a punctual contact with the coil at each rotation of the drum, causing the said coil to be replaced.
  • the apparatus is characterized in that the device comprises, on one of the lateral end plates (3d) of the end of the drum, a thick area projecting in the shape of a finger (12), said drum being fitted opposite said finger with a smooth zone (3 g) in rupture with the gripping zone (3 a), the width of said smooth zone between the self-gripping parts being such that there is only contact with the coil.
  • FIG. 1 is a view of the apparatus according to the invention, presented in the rest position. This view is established along the section line A.l of the figure
  • FIG. 2 is a front view, according to the invention, the cover being removed or lowered making it possible to view the device of the invention, in the rest position of the device,
  • FIG. 3 is a view, according to FIG. 2, in an operating situation during traction with deflection of the reel of material
  • FIG. 4 is a view complementary to FIG. 3 with intervention of the control and readjustment device in position of the material reel
  • FIG. 5 is a side view along line 5.5 of Figure 4 with repositioning of the material reel.
  • the apparatus comprises, in a known manner, a rotation drum (3) hollow internally and receiving a cutting device (4) with blade holder.
  • the drum (3) has two lateral end plates (3c - 3d) in the form of a disc.
  • the drum is rotated relative to the flanges (5a - 5b) of the housing. It comprises a first end (3c) projecting to be associated with the flanges (5a) with means described in the preceding patents using an eccentric system (10) with return spring (11) for launching.
  • the other end (3d) of the drum projects beyond the other side of the device onto the flange (5b) opposite and to receive the loading button (9).
  • the drum body can be a closed hollow cylinder internally with a longitudinal slot for passage of the cutting blade and externally receiving a self-gripping strip (3a) with a longitudinal slot for the output of the cutting device. It may have, on a part of its periphery, lightening zones (3f) described previously in patent n ° 89/17570 and illustrated by way of example in the drawings, without limitation.
  • the cutting device can be of the type described in French patent no. 98/16775.
  • the device for controlling and repositioning the reel of material, according to the invention, is designed as follows.
  • One (3d) of the lateral discs of the drum advantageously the one placed on the right side of the device corresponding to the observed low inclination part of the reel of material, has, directly by molding or added, a thickness zone projecting in finger shape (12) which can be in contact with the material reel (b) once per rotation of the drum. Furthermore, the drum has, facing the positioning of said finger (12), a smooth zone (3g) in rupture with the gripping zone (3a).
  • the projecting position of the finger (12) is such that it is in a plane higher (PI) than the plane of the generator (P2) of the drum in its hook-and-loop area, thus conceiving that, during the rotation of the drum, the coil, partially in contact with said finger, then causes a lifting effect of the material coil allowing its readjustment in the non-tilting position and therefore perfectly parallel to the axis of the drum.
  • the lifting finger is established to allow a punctual lifting of the coil sufficient to authorize its repositioning and positioning.
  • the width of the smooth zone (3g) between the two self-gripping parts (3a) of the drum is also such that there is no contact with the material reel with no holding or braking effect.
  • the smooth zone is established over the entire length of said drum, its width is greater than the width of the lifting finger.
  • the smooth zone is established in the part corresponding to the surface opposite the lifting finger.
  • said lifting finger is located, in a substantially opposite plane, at the point of exit of the cutting blade, and this after cutting the strip of material. It is thus understood that there is an automatic readjustment at each turn of the position of the reel of material responding to the problem posed and avoiding any intervention on the loading button.
