Description

The invention relates to a paper moisturizer for storing and targeted delivery of dry or moistened cleaning paper, which consists of releasably connected, stored on a roll sheets that are movable with or without entrainment of the tank associated with a moistening over this moistening, the rotatable moistening roller and the the leaves leading vanes are assigned to a fixable on the wall of the room housing.

Such paper humidifiers are known as Toüettenpapierbefeuchter in various designs ( DE-OS 42 43 408 . DBP 100 60 993 . DE-OS 28 28 163 . U.S. Patent 3,800,494 . DE-GM 7715417 and DE-PS 196 30 686 ). All said humidifiers have in common that the wetting of the individual papers or sheets on the moistening rollers is not always guaranteed that the entire paper humidifier is a complex housing construction and that the tearing of the individual sheets brings problems. Similarly, it looks at the DE-OS 26 44 871 , of the DE-GM 76 37 181 , of the FR-A 2 128 210 and FR-A 2 722 384 out. Even with these solutions, it is essentially about the moistened or just not moistened single sheet to be solved by the next sheet while pinching the penultimate sheet as possible so that the last sheet can be demolished. Also, DE-OS 199 58 752 shows a solution in which the single sheet unwound from the roll, then passed over the moistening roll or just held by spring-like elements thereof, to then be demolished after leaving the housing by clamping the penultimate sheet , Again, a complicated and elaborate housing is shown, which accommodates both the roll with the cleaning paper as well as the tank containing the moistening roller and possibly necessary guide elements, which are implemented here, however, as a tear-off. When performing the individual leaves, which are then still related, they are held by the designated as spring elements guide elements of the moistening or pulled down on overcoming the spring force on this. A disadvantage in addition to the line-shaped moistening of the sheet is the compact design of the housing, which also brings with it the need for the consumer to exchange the previously used by him cleaning device against the new with the paper humidifier. All this ultimately requires a corresponding effort in the production, which has an effect on the price of such Papierbefeuchter. In particular, sick people but are dependent on such wet cleaning papers, ie toilet papers.

Such a paper humidifier, wherein also the housing is arranged at a predetermined distance from the roll with the leaves on the wall of the room, is from the

document DE 198 31 449 A known.

The invention is therefore based on the object to create a simple in construction and at the same time safe and easy to install and to handle paper moisturizer especially for toilet paper.

The object is achieved according to the invention in that are provided as guide elements a fixed funnel-shaped insertion and arranged therein, secured against unintentional lifting and thereby allowing in an approximately vertical movements slot-shaped recess guided deflection bar, between which the mutually hanging leaves for moistening are movable towards.

In such a paper humidifier, the single-sheet roll and the moistening member or moistening roll components are not necessarily a unit, but the user is free in arranging the casing relative to the roll. Nevertheless, the cleaning paper in the form of the interconnected sheets runs safely through the housing and then through the moistening roller, which provides a uniform and smooth surface safe humidification is possible. Serve for this purpose, the guide elements in the form of the fixed funnel-shaped Einführmulde one hand and the rotatable deflection bar, which can perform limited vertical movements, so that the insertion angle of the leaves can be changed in these guide elements as needed. The same applies to the extraction or removal of the leaves, which are either guided flat over the moistening roller, so as to moisten it, or slightly obliquely upwards to use them in the dry state. It is advantageous that the housing can be mounted with the guide elements either above or below the role, so as just the circumstances make it appear appropriate or prescribe as appropriate, so that always results for the user the most favorable position. Next is given by this special training the opportunity to specify an easy to install paper humidifier, which is positioned as a lightweight component just at the intended location above or below the roller. Finally, it is advantageous that the necessary guide elements for securely guiding the paper or the individual sheets are extremely simple and at the same time are easy to handle, because the fixed funnel-shaped insertion cavity and the corresponding deflection bar provide secure guidance either to the moistening roll or via the moistening roll ensures.

According to an expedient embodiment of the invention, it is provided that the roller with the leaves is formed above or below the housing and independently fixed to the wall unit constituting unit, while the housing with the guide elements and the moistening roller represents another unit. As already mentioned above, this results in several advantages and especially the fact that the role and the housing are given as separate units and can be mounted as such. This gives the opportunity to make optimal use of the available space and at the same time much easier to assemble. Above all, it is also possible to assign the corresponding paper humidifier or the housing in retrospect to an already existing and mounted roll, and finally Both assemblies can be made much easier and cheaper.

In order to be able to mount the housing with the guide elements more easily, it is provided that the housing is designed in two parts and has a Wandfixierteils and a tank part with the vanes, the tank and the moistening roller. First, therefore, the Wandfixierteil is fixed to the wall of the room, which is easy to perform due to the simple training with the necessary accuracy, and then set the tank part with the vanes, the tank and the moistening again turn on Wandfixierteil in the most appropriate manner. Both are then a structural unit which is arranged corresponding to the role and works correspondingly.

The installation of the housing and thereby the Wandfixierteils is facilitated by the Wandfixierteil are assigned to the role of attachable spacer hooks that are releasably connected to the Wandfixierteil and in this way give the ability to simply hang the entire Wandfixierteil to the pre-assembled role and to make sure that always the Wandfixierteil is connected in the optimal position with the wall of the room and thus ensures the functioning of the entire paper humidifier. After installing the wall fixing part, the spacer hooks are removed and the tank part is hung in order to be able to put the entire paper humidifier into operation.

The mounting or connecting the Wandfixierteils with the roller is facilitated by the fact that the spacer hooks are formed in the axis of rotation of the roll hooked. The fact that two spaced spacer hooks are used, not only the correct distance between Wandfixierteil and role is given, but also the parallelism of both components or sub-components. In addition, after installation of the Wandfixierteils the individual spacer hooks easily remove and maintain for other activities or simply dispose of.

Earlier it has already been pointed out that after mounting the Wandfixierteils the connection between Wandfixierteil and tank part can be easily made, the invention provides that the Wandfixierteil has support arms, which are designed to hold the tank part at the same time. This is intended that quasi hang up tank part on the support arms of Wandfixierteils and thus effectively connect, so separate additional assembly work is no longer incurred.

This simplified assembly or connection of Wandfixierteil and tank part is particularly favored by the fact that according to the invention, the support arms and the support member have correspondingly formed tongue and groove connections. In the described training and arrangement of the tongue and groove connection can easily, d. H. simply by putting the tank part on the support arms the necessary connection between Wandfixierteil and tank part are made. A corresponding end guide on the support arms ensures that the tank part can not be unintentionally folded up. However, the entire connection between the tank part and the wall fixing part is particularly safe in that the spring is equipped with a lateral locking point and the groove with a corresponding locking groove. As a result, both parts can only be deliberately taken apart, on the other hand when plugged together by the "click" the user easily recognizes that both parts are now securely connected.

The optimal guidance of the individual leaves, which are passed together between trough and deflection bar, is achieved when the insertion trough seen from the room wall side, a flatter inlet slope, the actual trough and then to the opposite side steeper discharge slope. The cleaning paper is thus first deliberately introduced into the insertion tray and then the actual trough, thereby pressed by the deflection bar into the trough, so that the outlet also targeted accordingly and that at no load on the Umlenkstabes on the moistening and away when lifting the deflection bar just above the Moistening roller, without the individual leaves are moistened. It has been found to be expedient that the inlet bevel with 20 to 60 ° inclination and the steeper outlet slope are designed to extend at 70 ° to 85 °. The outlet slope is thus steeper, depending on the position of the role with the individual sheets and the two angles can be closer together, ie also the inlet slope can be slightly steeper, which is particularly advantageous if the individual sheets supplied from above become.

The deflection bar should as possible even then be safely guided in the slot-shaped recess, if accidentally the single sheet is pulled out too steep from the guide elements. This is achieved by virtue of the fact that the deflecting rod has rod ends guided in the slot-shaped recesses at its end, which have a diameter corresponding to the width of the insertion opening of the slot-shaped recess. Since the slot-shaped recess is arranged so that the deflection bar is secured against lifting, so a corresponding position is easy to reach. The unintentional lifting out of the deflection bar from the slot-shaped recess is further complicated or largely prevented that the deflection rod is positioned against rotation in a guide chamber, wherein the rod ends are preferably non-circular or polygonal, preferably square. As a result, the deflection bar slides under appropriate load in the corresponding guide chamber inside, is here fixed and is then fixed so that the necessary resistance or rather the friction is sufficient even when the last sheet is pulled from the roll over the moistening roller , It has proven to be optimal to set the deflection bar so that he can not turn at all, because then the transmission of the necessary friction is secured in any case.

A further optimization of the guide or the safeguard against unintentional lifting is given when the slot-shaped recess is formed as a double funnel, which consists of an open-top insertion and an adjoining bottom open and closed top guide chamber consists. This ensures that when inserting the deflection bar in the insertion, so in the first part of the double funnel this falls so far down that he then raised when lifting again, for example by pulling up the passed or thereby clamped sheet of the deflection and in the then adjoining, open at the bottom and closed at the top guide chamber moves in and then with its rod ends is in this guide chamber, which reliably prevents pulling out over the sheets passed through.

The unintentional pulling out of the deflecting rod and its setting in the guide chamber is additionally ensured that the roof of the guide chamber is slightly inclined away from the room wall side preferably even running obliquely upwards, while the guide slopes give a roof high-leading funnel, the end of the mold the rod ends adapted shaped. The roof thus has a flat course in a square formation of the rod ends, in a non-circular design, so for example an oval design of the rod ends a correspondingly curved course, so that these rod ends are almost embedded in the guide chamber. As a result, lifting out is prevented, but at the same time ensures the desired and secure setting of the deflection bar. A safe guide to the last sheet is associated with it.

The moistening roller must also be rotated by pulling the cleaning paper or the individual sheets. The necessary ease of movement is ensured if, as provided according to the invention, the tank of the tank part on the inside of the side walls each has a funnel-shaped recess in which the axis of the moistening roller is arranged rotatably fixed. The moistening roller can thus be inserted from above into the tank and then automatically slides into the funnel-shaped recess and thus into a position where it can easily be pulled through the water held in the tank or the other liquid. One always safe entrainment of this moistening by the moving paper over it or the sheets is ensured by the arrangement and also mentioned later execution of the Umlenkstabes, namely ensures that given to the last sheet towards the humidifying due to the corresponding friction in the deflection bar always is. With the entrainment of the moistening roller, it is then ensured that the individual moistening shoes can ensure even moistening of the respective sheet.

Surprisingly, it is possible to selectively moisten the individual sheets and not somehow more or less coincidentally bring in connection with water, when provided according to the invention provided the moistening roller spaced from each other supporting letters on the outer edge with moistening and centrally with a hollow hollow shaft, the can be pushed onto the axle, are equipped. Thus, it does not serve any compact wheels with a large surface for humidification, but rather a plurality of more or less small humidifying shoes, which are arranged externally on the support disks. These support disks are arranged and designed so that they can be pulled without much resistance and without much water through the tank and the liquid contained therein can be pulled through the moistening shoes practically only on their surface moisten with water, which then when turning is transferred to the individual sheets. These individual support disks are pushed onto the axis, so that the humidification is influenced accordingly, of course, correspondingly more compact moistening rollers are conceivable, only that then the resistance when pulling through the water reservoir can be greater and also the entrainment of water, which then to a uneven Humidification leads. In the embodiment described here, it is of particular importance that only the surface of the moistening shoes transmits the water or the liquid to the single sheet, so that a very targeted and accurate moistening of the respective sheet is ensured.

In the embodiment with the plug-in axles, it is particularly advantageous if plug-in hollow shafts of the support disks are formed so that they can not rotate with the adjacent plug-in hollow axles, so that an overall unit can be produced which ensures that the individual support disks are also rotated at the same speed or even can not be prevented from turning.

Earlier it has already been pointed out that the formation of the support disks to be joined together has the advantage that the working width of the moistening roller is adjustable. According to one embodiment, it is then provided that the support disks with the moistening shoes are arranged on both sides of a dry edge in the sheets while on the axis or that the outer support disks are arranged at a predetermined distance from the side walls. This shows then that can be ensured in this convenient way that the individual leaves do not tear somewhere in the middle, but in any case run over the moistening roller and then made sure for further handling.

An even moistening is further ensured by the fact that the moistening shoes offset from the center are connected to the support disks, and in each case alternately to both sides. This results in a very uniform moistening, on the particularly appropriate training will be discussed later. In order to ensure the above-mentioned appropriate humidification only over the surface of the moistening, it is provided that the moistening shoes are connected via a width of the support plate appropriately sized web with the support disk. The water or the moistening liquid is thus led away from the underside of the moistening shoe, or vice versa, it is prevented that a corresponding amount of moisture is also brought from below to the moistening shoes, because the contact surface is deliberately kept small by the web.

Another expedient embodiment of the moistening shoes is that in which they have rounded or sharpened edges in order to ensure in this way the targeted moistening of the surface of the moistening shoes. A particularly useful embodiment is that in which the moistening shoes are designed to be similar to a ship's body in the direction of movement. In this case, the liquid is virtually cut through and so conveniently supplied to the moistening shoes or the surface of the moistening shoes, which ensures the uniform further moistening of the individual sheets. It is achieved in this way or by the shape of the moistening, that unneeded liquid is not taken or fixed to the moistening shoe.

A targeted entrainment of the liquid is mainly ensured by the fact that the moistening shoes are made of rubbery and / or rubber-like material (PE + rubber) and / or have one or more concave depressions in their surface. While the remaining parts of the moistening shoes are made more or less smooth, this special surface and the choice of material ensures reliable adhesion of the moisture. The concave depressions in the surface of the moistening shoes even predetermine a certain amount which the individual moistening shoes bring with them and transfer to the sheet which slides over them. While maintaining the dry areas a targeted and ultimately adjustable humidification of the individual sheets is guaranteed, which advantageously increases the cleaning success and also the acceptance. The rubber-like material ensures due to the friction for a safe entrainment of the moistening roller and at the same time for the moistening of the leaves.

In order not to have to replace the entire moistening roller, if other circumstances require it, it is provided according to the invention that the moistening shoes or the webs are releasably connected to the support disks, preferably in holes of the support disks inserted or formed on the support disks plugged. This gives the possibility that To replace the moistening shoes with the bars or just the moistening shoes and to replace them with larger, smaller or differently shaped ones in order to change the moistening pattern on the individual sheets or to adapt them to the conditions. At the same time the degree of moistening of the leaves is changed, depending on which direction this is desired by the user. Of course it is also possible to exchange complete moistening rollers.

Earlier it is explained that the moistening shoes are designed like a ship's body and that in the direction of movement. According to a further development, the moistening shoes can also be designed to be beveled on all sides in the manner of a ship's body, in order to achieve targeted moistening of the surface of the individual moistening shoes in this manner.

The moistening image which "spells" the moistening shoes onto the respective sheet is particularly effective and advantageous when the moistening shoes are honeycomb-shaped. This means that there are smaller drying zones between the correspondingly larger humidifying surfaces. The honeycomb-like design is advantageous because it ensures sufficient stability for the respective sheet in the humidified state.

It is particularly advantageous if the moistening shoes, such as honeycomb walls, have narrow drying zones between them, leaving them large in size. The honeycomb walls thus result in zigzagging narrow drying zones, which, as already mentioned, provide optimal stability for the entire sheet, which can be easily drawn by the user even in the moistened state and can then be used further.

It appears to be expedient if the drying zones have a width of 0.5-5.0 mm, preferably 2.0 mm. The then remaining webs or better said drying zones are then sufficient to the entire sheet the necessary On the other hand, the humidified zones have an optimum size and are also very user-friendly, because they represent an optimally large area distributed over the sheet.

The deflection bar, which is used as a guide element ensures that the contiguous sheets are safely pulled through the paper humidifier, and this is possible even if the cleaning paper vorhaltende role is largely unrolled or even completely unrolled. For this purpose, the invention additionally provides that the deflecting bar is roughened or has a corresponding coating or is made of the same material as the moistening shoes. He then offers a corresponding resistance or provides the necessary friction over which it is ensured that the last sheet can still be pulled over with the entrainment of the moistening roller. This is facilitated and supported by the fact that the deflection bar is set as explained above, so that when pulling through the individual leaves can not rotate, but always cares for the necessary friction.

An embodiment of the invention is characterized in particular by the fact that a paper moisturizer is provided, which can be mounted in a particularly simple and expedient manner, and in hindsight, ie, which can also be assigned to existing cleaning paper rolls. For this purpose, it is only necessary to arrange the advantageous manner two-part body of the housing initially in a certain and auxiliary means predetermined distance to the role and that depending on the space above or below the role. Then both units, namely the role and the housing with the guide elements can work together in such a way that optimum humidification of the individual sheets is ensured but also the possibility exists to pull the individual leaves dry over the moistening without the guide elements thereby their Leave function position. It is advantageous in addition to the ease of mounting and the low-cost training, because both the actual housing with the Wandfixierteil and the tank part as well as in particular the moistening roller have a shape and training that differs significantly from the prior art and that contributes to the fact that a cheap paper humidifier is made available, which also has optimal performance characteristics.

FIG. 1 shows a paper humidifier 1, which is attached to a room wall 12. This paper moisturizer 1 is once made of the cleaning paper 2 storing roller 3. This cleaning paper 2 consists of a predetermined plurality of interconnected sheets 4, 5, 6. In FIG. 1 is reproduced from such individual sheets 4, 5, 6 existing toilet paper roll.

Underneath this roller 3, which represents a structural unit 17, the housing 8 is reproduced, which with its guide elements 11 and the moistening roller 10 represents a further structural unit 18. Also, this unit 18 is connected to the room wall 12, for which purpose further details are given below. This housing 8 has a tank 9 in which the moistening roller 10 is rotatably mounted. The cleaning paper 2, that is, the individual sheets 4, 5, 6 are guided via guide elements 11 so that they either come into contact with the moistening roller 10 and are moistened with it or are pulled dry over it.

FIG. 2 shows a portion of the housing 8 in enlarged scale, which is the tank part 20 here. This tank part 20, which is in FIG. 4 is also reproduced in side view, with the Wandfixierteil 19, the in FIG. 3 is shown as a unit connected to the room wall 12. With the help of the spacer hooks 21, 22 which are connected via terminals 23 to the tank part 20 or the Wandfixierteil 19, this unit is connected to the axis of rotation 24 of the roller 3 or better said, this unit is hooked on the distance hooks 21, 22 there , Shown and shown is that on this axis of rotation 24, the roller 3 is rotatably arranged, wherein the axis of rotation 24 is fixed on the wall bracket 13 on the wall 12 of the room. It can be seen that this role 3 with additional parts forms a structural unit 17, which is independent of the housing 8 fixed to the room wall 12. The paper or sheets 4, 5, 6 are derived from the roller 3 and then pulled over the funnel-shaped insertion recess 14 under the deflection rod 15, said deflection rod 15 in the off FIG. 2 to be taken slot-shaped recess 16 is arranged limitedly displaceable in the vertical direction. The deflecting rod 15 ensures that even when pulling out of the cleaning paper 2 without touching the moistening roller 10 still a guide of the cleaning paper 2 remains possible and then moistening, ie when pulling on the moistening roller 10 immediately assumes the correct position and moisturizes effectively can be.

The FIGS. 3 and 4 show the Wandfixierteil 19 and the tank part 20 and their joints. For this purpose, the Wandfixierteil 19 is equipped with support arms 25 which are equipped with corresponding with the groove connections of the tank part 20 tongue and groove connections 26, 27. The Wandfixierteil 19 also has a latching holder 28, in which the Einpassteil 29 of the tank part 20 is inserted to then ensure the effective connection via the tongue and groove connections 26, 27. The spring connections are designated 26, 27 and the groove connections 26 ', 27'.

FIG. 5 shows a perspective view and top view of the housing 8. Visible here is the funnel-shaped insertion recess 14, the deflection rod 15 and the slot-shaped recess 16, in which the deflection rod 15 is arranged movable up and down. Not shown here is the paper or the individual sheets 4, 5, 6 in order to make the details visible, in particular with respect to the moistening roller 10. The assembly of Wandfixierteil 19 and tank part 20 is connected to the room wall side 30 with the room wall 12. Recognizable here and this is supplemented FIG. 10 It should be noted that the funnel-shaped insertion recess 14 consists of the flat inlet slope 31 and the actual depression 32 and the steeper outlet slope 33. As a result, the targeted guidance of the sheets 4, 5, 6 is possible in such a way that the deflecting rod 15 thereby limited in the vertical up and down can move.

On the particular design of the moistening roller 10 with the support disks 45, 46, 47 and the Befeuchtungsschuhen 49, 50, 51 will be discussed later. In any case, the flat inlet slope 31, the trough 32 and the steeper outlet slope 33 ensures that a guide of the sheets 4, 5, 6 on the moistening roller 10 is useful and practical and quasi predetermined possible in such a way that the leaves 4, 5, 6 stay dry or moistened.

FIG. 6 shows a support disc 45 in side view with the humidifying shoe 50 placed on top. Its surface is designated 64. It can be smooth or roughened, which is not apparent from the second view namely the top view. It can be seen here, however, that the shape of the moistening shoes 49, 50, 51 is oval or even similar to a ship's body, which is particularly the case FIG. 7 also clarified in addition. With 60 of the web is designated on top of the moistening 50 here placed or placed.

FIG. 7 shows such a moistening shoe 50 in section, wherein it can be seen that the two edges 61, 62 are sharpened or just ship body-like design. This prevents the entrainment of the water and the immersion in the water or the liquid facilitates without flags, drops or the like are taken. Also, the respective web 60 is cut as shown in the right-hand illustration.

FIG. 8 shows a plan view of a moistening roller 10, which is, however, reproduced only with a part of the moistening shoes 49, 50, 51. It can be seen, however, that here a total of six support disks 45, 46, 47 are used, but which are designed so that a dry edge 58, 59 remains on both sides, as in FIG. 14 is indicated. This is also dictated by the fact that the axis 43 of the moistening roller 10 end plates 44, so as to specify targeted running ends 57, 57 ', which can be used in the funnel-shaped recesses 42 on the inside 41 of the side walls 40 and for easy running of the entire wetting roll 10. The individual support disks 45, 46, 47 have the outer edge 48 on which the moistening shoes 49, 50, 51 are placed over the web 60. These support plates 45, 46, 47 are centrally equipped with a hollow insert axis 52, 52 '. They are pushed over the axis 43 and then inserted into each other, for which purpose they have a connecting part 53 and an insertion end 54. This insertion 54 shows a total of four guide webs 55, 56, which in corresponding and out FIG. 11 apparent notches are introduced, so that so that the individual support disks 45, 46, 47 are to be connected against rotation with each other.

The already mentioned several times deflection rod 15 is in FIG. 9 shown in plan view, it being understood that it is formed on both rod ends 35, 35 'so that it can be inserted through the insertion opening 36 of the slot-shaped recess 16 safely through. This insertion opening 36 then expands as FIG. 10 clarified to a guide chamber 37 whose roof 38 is inclined so that the entire deflection rod 15 remains in the guide chamber 37, even if the end of the sheet 4, 5 or 6 is raised too much on one or on the other side of the deflection rod 15 , This unintentional withdrawal of the deflecting rod 15 from the slot-shaped recess 16 is reliably prevented. FIG. 10 shows in addition that the slot-shaped recess 16 has a funnel-shaped insertion opening 36 so as to facilitate the introduction of the deflection bar 15 or the rod ends 35. FIG. 10 also shows again the flatter inlet slope 31, the trough 32 and the steeper outlet slope 33 as well as the funnel-shaped recess 42 in the inside 41 of the side walls 40th

FIG. 11 and FIG. 12 show a single support plate 45 in side view and top view, wherein it is clear that a plurality of Befeuchtungsschuhen 49, 50, 51 are arranged at a distance from the outer edge 48 of the respective support disc 45. For connection, corresponding webs 60 serve. The particular shape of these moistening shoes 49, 50, 51 is in the FIGS. 6 and 7 play, so that can be dispensed with a targeted presentation. They are only hinted at. Is recognizable in FIG. 12 Further, that the moistening shoes 49, 50, 51 are each arranged alternately to the left of the respective support plate 45 or to the right thereof. An optimal and uniform moistening pattern is the result. This will be discussed later.

FIG. 11 allows the insertion end 54, in which the connecting part 53 of the adjacent support plate 46 or 47 can be inserted. The guide webs 55, 56 then provide a rotationally secure connection, so that a uniform rotation of the entire moistening roller 10 in the tank 9 is ensured.

FIG. 13 shows once again the axis 43 of the moistening roller 10 with the running end 57, 57 'which can be inserted or introduced into the funnel-shaped recess 42.
