Description

La présente invention concerne le domaine des distributeurs de produits en rouleaux, et plus précisément pouvant contenir plusieurs rouleaux arrangés avec des axes parallèles entre eux, et ayant plusieurs fentes ou ouvertures pour la sortie (ou distribution) des produits enroulés.The present invention relates to the field of product distributors in rolls, and more specifically can contain several rollers arranged with axes parallel to each other, and having several slots or openings for the output (or distribution) of the rolled products.

On connaît ce type de distributeur depuis de nombreuses années.This type of distributor has been known for many years.

Ainsi, le brevet US 2,726,825 divulgue un distributeur pouvant contenir deux rouleaux disposés l'un au dessus de l'autre. Une première ouverture dans la partie inférieure du distributeur constitue une sortie sur papier formant le rouleau inférieur ; tandis qu'une seconde ouverture sur la face avant du distributeur caractérise la sortie pour le papier formant le second rouleau.Thus, the patent US 2,726,825 discloses a dispenser that can hold two rollers arranged one above the other. A first opening in the lower portion of the dispenser constitutes a paper outlet forming the lower roll; while a second opening on the front face of the dispenser characterizes the outlet for the paper forming the second roll.

Le brevet US 3,642,336 concerne un distributeur susceptible de contenir trois rouleaux : un premier rouleau de grande dimension au-dessus duquel sont stockés deux autres rouleaux de plus petite dimension dans un élément amovible vis-à-vis du corps du distributeur. Le produit formant le premier rouleau est dévidé à travers une ouverture en partie inférieure du distributeur, en fait à travers le fond ouvert du distributeur.The patent US 3,642,336 relates to a dispenser capable of containing three rollers: a first large roll above which are stored two other rolls of smaller size in a removable element vis-à-vis the body of the dispenser. The product forming the first roll is unwound through an opening in the lower portion of the dispenser, in fact through the open bottom of the dispenser.

Chacun des autres rouleaux est dévidé à travers deux fentes aménagées à l'avant du distributeur.Each of the other rolls is unwound through two slots in the front of the dispenser.

Dans le même domaine, le brevet US 2,969,169 montre un distributeur contenant trois rouleaux disposés et stockés les uns au-dessus des autres, et trois sorties différentes. Selon ce document les trois rouleaux présentent une même largeur mais sont préférentiellement formés de produits de nature différentes.In the same field, the patent US 2,969,169 shows a dispenser containing three rolls arranged and stored one above the other, and three different outputs. According to this document the three rollers have the same width but are preferably formed of different products of different nature.

On connaît aussi des distributeurs tels que décrits dans le brevet US 2,924,493 , contenant plusieurs rouleaux, ici trois, et dont chaque sortie présente un profil en dent de scie destiné à découper le papier (ou autre produit) qui en sort.Distributors are also known as described in the patent US 2,924,493 , containing three rollers, here three, and each output has a sawtooth profile for cutting the paper (or other product) that comes out.

Parmi les distributeurs récemment exploités, on connaît par exemple celui décrit dans le brevet EP 0 930 039 B1 . Ce distributeur peut contenir un rouleau de papier et il se caractérise par un mécanisme de coupe intégré ; la sortie du papier est opérée via une fente en partie inférieure, dans le fond, du distributeur.Among the recently operated distributors, for example, the one described in the patent is known. EP 0 930 039 B1 . This dispenser can hold a roll of paper and is characterized by an integrated cutting mechanism; the output of the paper is operated via a slot in the lower part, in the bottom, of the dispenser.

Ce type de distributeur est intéressant pour sa capacité à couper le papier, mais il ne permet de dévider qu'un seul rouleau, à la fois.This type of dispenser is interesting for its ability to cut paper, but it allows to unwind only one roll, at a time.

Il est également envisageable de stocker un second rouleau dit de réserve à l'intérieur d'un tel distributeur, moyennant quelque aménagement.It is also conceivable to store a second so-called reserve roller inside such a dispenser, with some arrangement.

Cependant on ne connaît aucun distributeur qui permette de dévider simultanément plusieurs rouleaux dont l'une au moins des sorties permet de freiner le dévidage du rouleau associé.However, there is no known distributor that allows to simultaneously unwind several rollers, at least one of the outputs can slow the unwinding of the associated roller.

Ainsi, la présente invention a pour objet un distributeur de produits en rouleaux comprenant:

  • un premier espace interne contenant un premier rouleau le long d'un axe XX',
  • une première ouverture en forme de fente parallèle à l'axe XX' pour le premier rouleau tel que stocké dans le premier espace interne,
  • au moins un deuxième espace interne contenant un deuxième rouleau le long d'un axe YY' parallèle à l'axe XX', le deuxième espace étant situé en-dessous du premier espace et comprenant une deuxième ouverture, de forme générale en T, présentant une fente parallèle à l'axe YY' de distribution du deuxième rouleau, ladite fente (110), ayant une longueur inférieure à la largeur du deuxième rouleau pour freiner le dévidage dudit deuxième rouleau.
Thus, the subject of the present invention is a distributor of products in rolls comprising:
  • a first internal space containing a first roll along an axis XX ',
  • a first slot-shaped opening parallel to the axis XX 'for the first roll as stored in the first internal space,
  • at least a second internal space containing a second roll along an axis YY 'parallel to the axis XX', the second space being located below the first space and comprising a second opening, generally T-shaped, having a slot parallel to the axis YY 'of distribution of the second roller, said slot (110) having a length less than the width of the second roller for braking the unwinding of said second roller.

Le document DE 4137130 , considéré l'état de la technique le plus proche, divulgue un distributeur de produits en rouleaux comprenant un premier espace interne avec une première ouverture en forme de fente et un deuxième espace interne contenant un deuxième rouleau le long d'un axe YY', le deuxième espace étant situé en-dessous du premier espace et comprenant une deuxième ouverture, de forme générale en T, présentant une fente parallèle à l'axe YY' de distribution du deuxième rouleau.The document DE 4137130 , considered the closest state of the art, discloses a roll product dispenser comprising a first internal space with a first slot-shaped opening and a second internal space containing a second roll along an axis YY ', the second space being located below the first space and comprising a second opening, generally T-shaped, having a slot parallel to the axis YY 'distribution of the second roller.

De façon caractéristique, le premier et le deuxième rouleau sont de dimension et/ou de composition différentes.Typically, the first and second rolls are of different size and / or composition.

A titre illustratif, le premier rouleau est formé par un papier absorbant. Selon un mode de réalisation particulièrement intéressant, le deuxième rouleau est formé par l'enroulement d'au moins une feuille en matière plastique.As an illustration, the first roll is formed by an absorbent paper. According to a particularly interesting embodiment, the second roller is formed by winding at least one plastic sheet.

Une telle feuille a tendance à se dévider très facilement c'est pourquoi la deuxième ouverture selon l'invention, de longueur inférieure à la largeur du rouleau réalise un freinage du dévidage dudit rouleau placé en vis-à-vis.Such a sheet has a tendency to unwind very easily, which is why the second opening according to the invention, which is less than the width of the roll, brakes the unwinding of the roller placed opposite it.

A titre d'exemple le deuxième rouleau peut être formé par l'enroulement de sacs plastiques reliés entre eux par des prédécoupes.For example, the second roll can be formed by winding plastic bags interconnected by precuts.

Sans sortir du cadre de l'invention, le deuxième rouleau peut être formé par l'enroulement d'éléments en forme de gants reliés entre eux par des prédécoupes.Without departing from the scope of the invention, the second roller may be formed by the winding of glove-shaped elements interconnected by precuts.

Dans ce contexte, la forme et la disposition des gants sont telles que les prédécoupes forment des lignes droites perpendiculaires ou sensiblement perpendiculaires au sens de dévidage du rouleau.In this context, the shape and arrangement of the gloves are such that the pre-cuts form straight lines perpendicular or substantially perpendicular to the unwinding direction of the roll.

Additionnellement, le distributeur peut comprendre une troisième ouverture en forme de fente parallèle à l'axe YY' du deuxième rouleau, utilisable alternativement à ladite deuxième ouverture.Additionally, the dispenser may comprise a third slot-shaped opening parallel to the axis YY 'of the second roller, operable alternately to said second opening.

Par ailleurs, la deuxième ouverture et/ou la troisième ouverture peuvent être réalisées grâce à une pièce rapportée sur la face avant du distributeur.Moreover, the second opening and / or the third opening can be achieved by means of an insert on the front face of the dispenser.

D'autres caractéristiques, détails, avantages de l'invention apparaîtront à la lecture de la description qui va suivre faite à titre illustratif et nullement limitatif en référence aux dessins annexés sur lesquels :

  • la figure 1 est une présentation d'un distributeur selon l'art antérieur ;
  • la figure 2 est une vue schématique d'un distributeur selon un mode de réalisation de l'invention.
Other features, details, advantages of the invention will become apparent on reading the description which follows, given by way of illustration and in no way limiting, with reference to the appended drawings in which:
  • the figure 1 is a presentation of a distributor according to the prior art;
  • the figure 2 is a schematic view of a dispenser according to one embodiment of the invention.

Comme on peut aisément le voir sur la figure 1, un distributeur connu comprend plusieurs espaces internes 1, 2, 3 renfermant chacun un rouleau (non visible). A chaque rouleau est associé une ouverture 10, 11, 12 de forme allongée, parallèlement à l'axe des rouleaux 1, 2, 3.As can easily be seen on the figure 1 a known dispenser comprises a plurality of internal spaces 1, 2, 3 each enclosing a roll (not visible). Each roller is associated with an opening 10, 11, 12 of elongate shape, parallel to the axis of the rollers 1, 2, 3.

Selon cet art antérieur une lame en dent de scie 20 est disposée parallèlement à chaque ouverture et en délimite l'un des côtés. Chaque lame 20 constitue ici un moyen de déchirement du produit enroulé.According to this prior art a sawtooth blade 20 is disposed parallel to each opening and delimits one of the sides. Each blade 20 here constitutes a means of tearing the wound product.

Conformément à l'invention telle que représentée sur la figure 2 le distributeur comprend un premier espace interne 1 pour contenir un premier rouleau (non visible) d'axe XX' qui se dévide par une première ouverture 10 située en partie inférieure du distributeur. La flèche A montre le sens de dévidage du premier rouleau à travers l'ouverture 10.According to the invention as represented on the figure 2 the dispenser comprises a first internal space 1 for containing a first roll (not visible) of axis XX 'which is unwound by a first opening 10 located in the lower part of the dispenser. Arrow A shows the direction of unwinding of the first roll through the opening 10.

Un deuxième rouleau d'axe YY' parallèle à l'axe XX' du premier rouleau est disposé dans un deuxième espace interne 2 du distributeur. Selon ce mode de réalisation le deuxième espace interne 2 est situé au-dessous du premier et à proximité d'une deuxième ouverture 11 pour la sortie du produit formant le deuxième rouleau d'axe YY'.A second roller axis YY 'parallel to the axis XX' of the first roller is disposed in a second internal space 2 of the distributor. According to this embodiment, the second internal space 2 is located below the first and in the vicinity of a second opening 11 for the outlet of the product forming the second axis roller YY '.

Plus précisément le deuxième rouleau est placé en vis-à-vis de la deuxième ouverture 11.More precisely, the second roll is placed opposite the second opening 11.

La deuxième ouverture 11 présente notamment une fente 110 parallèle à l'axe YY' du deuxième rouleau. La fente 110 présente une longueur inférieure à la largeur du deuxième rouleau créant ainsi un rétrécissement et donc un freinage au dévidage du deuxième rouleau lorsqu'il passe à travers la fente 110.The second opening 11 has in particular a slot 110 parallel to the axis YY 'of the second roller. The slot 110 has a length less than the width of the second roller thus creating a narrowing and thus a braking unwinding of the second roller as it passes through the slot 110.

Ainsi, la feuille dévidée à travers la deuxième ouverture 11 est extraite selon le sens indiqué par la flèche B.Thus, the sheet unwound through the second opening 11 is extracted in the direction indicated by the arrow B.

De façon particulière, la deuxième ouverture 11 peut présenter la forme illustrée sur la figure 2 à savoir la forme d'un T dont la branche " horizontale " est formée par la fente 110 et la branche " verticale " par une deuxième portion 120 perpendiculaire à la fente 110 et de plus grande largeur. La portion 120 peut par exemple permettre à l'utilisateur de toucher la surface externe du deuxième rouleau afin de provoquer le déplacement du produit en rouleau.In a particular way, the second opening 11 may have the shape illustrated on the figure 2 namely the shape of a T whose "horizontal" branch is formed by the slot 110 and the "vertical" branch by a second portion 120 perpendicular to the slot 110 and larger width. The portion 120 may for example allow the user to touch the outer surface of the second roll to cause the roll product to move.

La fente allongée 110 peut avantageusement avoir une longueur comprise entre le tiers et la moitié de la largeur du deuxième rouleau.The elongate slot 110 may advantageously be between one-third and one-half the width of the second roll.

En outre, le distributeur selon l'invention peut comprendre une troisième ouverture 12 située à proximité de la deuxième ouverture 11, et utilisable alternativement à la deuxième ouverture 11, pour le deuxième rouleau. La troisième ouverture 12 se présente ici sous la forme d'une fente allongée parallèle à l'axe YY' et elle permet de dévider le produit formant le deuxième rouleau selon la flèche B' de la figure 2.In addition, the dispenser according to the invention may comprise a third opening 12 located near the second opening 11, and alternatively usable at the second opening 11, for the second roller. The third opening 12 is here in the form of an elongated slot parallel to the axis YY 'and it allows the product forming the second roll to be unwound according to the arrow B' of the figure 2 .

Les deuxième et troisième ouvertures 11 et 12 peuvent être formées dans et grâce à une pièce 4 rapportée sur la face avant du distributeur.The second and third openings 11 and 12 may be formed in and through a part 4 attached to the front of the dispenser.

Plus précisément, la pièce 4 peut être positionnée par tout moyen connu en soi à proximité du deuxième rouleau, en regard d'une ouverture dans la face avant du distributeur.More specifically, the piece 4 can be positioned by any means known per se near the second roller, opposite an opening in the front face of the dispenser.

La pièce 4 comprend ici la deuxième ouverture 11 en forme de T déjà décrite, ainsi qu'une arête inférieure 5 découpée en dents de scie qui forme l'un des côtés de la troisième ouverture 12. Le second côté 6 de la troisième ouverture 12 peut être réalisé par une découpe dans le boîtier du distributeur. La deuxième ouverture 11 peut avantageusement être réalisée par une découpe dans la pièce 4.Part 4 here comprises the second T-shaped opening 11 already described, as well as a lower saw-toothed edge 5 which forms one of the sides of the third opening 12. The second side 6 of the third opening 12 can be made by cutting in the dispenser housing. The second opening 11 can advantageously be made by cutting in the part 4.

Bien entendu, d'autres arrangements et/ou positions peuvent être prévus pour former les différentes ouvertures selon l'invention. Toutes les ouvertures peuvent par exemple être réalisées par découpe dans le boîtier formant le distributeur.Of course, other arrangements and / or positions may be provided to form the different openings according to the invention. All openings may for example be made by cutting into the housing forming the distributor.

Par ailleurs, à titre d'exemple non limitatif, le premier rouleau peut être formé par un papier absorbant, de type essuie-tout, et il est extrait du distributeur par la première ouverture 10.Moreover, by way of non-limiting example, the first roll may be formed by an absorbent paper, of the paper towel type, and it is extracted from the distributor by the first opening 10.

Le deuxième rouleau peut être formé de sacs plastique reliés entre eux par des prédécoupes.The second roll can be formed of plastic bags interconnected by precuts.

En fonction de l'utilisation souhaitée, les sacs plastique pourront être extraits du distributeur par la deuxième ouverture 11 ou encore par la troisième ouverture 12.Depending on the desired use, the plastic bags can be extracted from the dispenser by the second opening 11 or by the third opening 12.

Avantageusement, la dimension de la fente 110 de la deuxième ouverture 11, inférieure à la largeur du deuxième rouleau, permet de freiner la sortie des sacs plastique, et favorise leur prédécoupe.Advantageously, the dimension of the slot 110 of the second opening 11, smaller than the width of the second roller, makes it possible to slow the exit of the plastic bags, and favors their pre-cut.

Dans cet exemple, le distributeur pourra être utilisé dans des stations service où à la fois des essuie-tout (essuie-mains, produit d'essuyage) et des gants de protection contre les salissures sont nécessaires.In this example, the dispenser can be used in service stations where both paper towels (hand towels, wiping product) and dirt protection gloves are required.

Bien entendu de très nombreuses autres applications peuvent être envisagées sans sortir du cadre de l'invention, conformément à l'étendue de la protection conferée par les revendications en annexe.Of course, many other applications can be envisaged without departing from the scope of the invention, in accordance with the scope of the protection conferred by the appended claims.
