Definitions

  • the present invention concerns a dispenser for dispensing paper from a roll, like for dispensing towel paper as sheets to be torn or cut to a fixed size.
  • the paper In the dispensers in question, the paper is traditionally in a roll supported in a horizontal position by an appropriate rack, generally in a closed housing. An end of the paper web to be dispensed from the roll is led outside the housing so that the paper can be gripped and pulled by the user to get a desired length of the paper or alternatively a fixed-size sheet cut by the dispenser. Dispensers dispensing free web lengths are furnished with a suitable tearing device in connection with the dispense opening. Alternatively, the web can be perforated into suitable sheet sizes.
  • the user-friendliness of the dispenser requires that the paper roll is easily spinning, which also is a requirement with dispensers, that include a dispensing device cutting the web into sheets. Result from the sensitive moving of the roll is, however, that due to the inertia caused by the spinning movement caused by dispensing, the roll tends to spin longer than what is required by the dispensed web length.
  • dispensing devices utilizing the stub roll before starting to dispense from a refill roll have a problem that the new, refill roll starts to unwind too early.
  • These kinds of dispensers are generally equipped with a dispensing device cutting the paper web into predetermined size, dispensing paper one predetermined-sized sheet at a time.
  • the dispensing device includes a function that changes into a new roll when the paper is running out from the stub roll. The operation of this kind of a device requires that the starting end of the web coming from the refill roll is in close contact with the web of the stub roll to be dispensed. The friction between the webs and static electricity generated by the friction tend to take too early the starting end of the web of the refill roll along with the web of the stub roll.
  • An apparatus including, as known in the art, a rack for supporting the paper roll to be dispensed and means for delivering the paper, comprises as a characteristic feature of the invention means for sensing the tightness of the paper web between the roll and the delivering means, and a braking device controlled by the tightness sensing means for restricting the spinning of the paper roll in the unwind direction.
  • FIG. 1 shows schematically basic parts of a traditional apparatus dispensing paper towel from a roll.
  • the paper roll 2 to be dispensed is supported by a rack 1 in a horizontal position.
  • the roll 2 is freely spinning in the rack 1.
  • Web 4 is taken from the roll to the device performing the dispensing, indicated generally with reference 3, and not explained in this connection in more detail.
  • These devices are well known in the art. They are powered when the paper is drawn out from the dispenser.
  • corresponding dispensing devices with motor drive are known in the art, usually with a motor connected to an electrical network. These dispensers deliver paper from the dispenser one sheet at a time, cutting said sheet from the web 4 coming from the roll 2.
  • the dispensing device 3 draws paper web 4 from the roll 2.
  • some degree of spinning inertia is left in the roll, whereby it tends to push more web 4 than what needed by the dispensing device during this section. Loosening of the web as such can cause blocking problems in the operation of the device.
  • an antispin device 5 is included in the dispenser, coming controllably weight-loaded into contact with the roll 2.
  • the pressing load of the antispin device 5 is controlled by an element 6 sensing the tightness of the web 4 between the roll and the dispensing device 3.
  • This element is a weight-loaded or spring-loaded pin or roll supported by the web 4.
  • the pin 6 is connected with leverage 7 to the support of the antispin device 5 so that when the pin 6 goes down along with the loosening web 4, the antispin device 5 correspondingly lowers down onto the surface of the roll 2.
  • leverage 7 When dimensioning the components of the leverage 7, the operation of the device must be taken into account when the diameter of the roll 2 changes due to the use of the paper.
  • FIG. 3 shows one special embodiment of the invention.
  • This figure illustrates one paper dispenser type including the possibility to use up the stub roll.
  • This kind of an arrangement provides some flexibility to the refilling of the dispenser. It is not necessary to aim the refilling situation just at the phase, when the roll delivering paper to be dispensed has run out of paper. If there is still paper left in the roll in the refilling situation, it can be moved to continue dispensing as a so called stub roll 8 in a space designed for it in the dispenser. A new roll, refill roll 2', can be placed in the actual dispensing space, and the starting end of its web is thread to a position of readiness in the dispensing device 3. The position of readiness includes devices for moving the starting end of the refill roll 2' to the use of the dispensing device in a situation, where the paper web of the stub roll 8 runs out.
  • the dispensing device tightens the web enough, whereby the antispin device 5 rises from the surface of the roll 2' and allows the spinning motion of the roll caused by the pulling force directed to the web 4.
  • the antispin device may be accomplished also otherwise than what is described in the illustrated embodiment.
  • the element forming the braking part 5 of the antispin device may contact also either one or both of the reel end sides, or may be positioned to follow the out-reeling of the roll 2 inside the reel core, and contact the inside surface of the core when braking is required.
  • a weight-load mechanism for the antispin device in each of these embodiments may be applied, of alternatively a spring load directed to the lever mechanism supporting the braking part of the antispin device.
