Definitions

  • the present invention relates to continuous strip products and pre-cut coupons attached to each other by tenons.
  • the problem is to effectively provide these two functions. It is desired by pulling on the first available sheet through the opening to release one sheet at a time and not to pull off the entire strip of paper. For this it is necessary that the tenons linking the first sheet to the next give priority. It must not be necessary to use both hands to separate the leaves. On the one hand it is not practical, on the other hand the paper not extracted from the envelope should not be touched, it would not be hygienic. There is the possibility of providing a cutting means at the edge of the opening but it is not safe to cut the band at the tenons. The cut is not clear.
  • the cover has a guide slot which may be provided in a raised molded portion including a depression for gripping the wet wipe.
  • This dispensing system is designed for wet wipes in pre-cut and zig-zag folded sheets. A plug is provided on the slot so that the exposed portion of the extracted wipe remains wet. But this embodiment in a rigid plastic material is not environmentally satisfactory and remains remote from the present invention.
  • the system for dispensing products from a web of perforated material comprises a dispensing slot whose edges are close to the thickness of the sheet so as not to brake it.
  • the sheets are retained to each other by tenons extending over one third of the width of the strip, the other two thirds being cut.
  • flaps able to swing on both sides of the plane of the band.
  • the band is braked when this double thickness part is engaged in the slot. This is sufficiently narrow in thickness to hinder the passage of two thicknesses of sheet.
  • the dispensing opening is circular, the passage resistance being produced by the folds formed in the direction of traction at the time of passage through the opening.
  • the applicant has set itself the objective of achieving a satisfactory distribution system for environmentally conscious consumers, which is both effective for the separation of leaves at the passage of the distribution opening and which allows the presentation the free edge of the band remaining in the box for the extraction of the next coupon.
  • the second space is equal to the width of the second part.
  • Said first portion extends from one edge of the strip
  • Said first portion extends between one quarter and three quarters of the width of the strip
  • Said first portion extends over a central portion of the strip, leaving on each side, two second portions forming separation primer.
  • the invention applies to a strip roll or folded accordion.
  • the two wall elements are arranged to guide the strip to be distributed in coupons over at least 10% of the length of a coupon.
  • the invention relates to paper products which are in the form of rolls 1, figure 1 either in the form of a band 3 folded zigzag or accordion.
  • the invention is particularly, but not exclusively, for sanitary or domestic papers: toilet paper, paper towels, handkerchiefs, towels, etc.
  • the paper is cellulose wadding, which is a paper absorbent and light weight, one or more folds superimposed.
  • the folds can be linked together or not. Similarly they can be embossed or not to possibly give them flexibility and volume.
  • the band is precut in the direction of its length at regular intervals in successive coupons, generally all of the same size.
  • the precut by means of a blade, forming a knife, toothed extends transversely to the longitudinal direction of the strip, from one edge to the other.
  • the pre-cut line is generally rectilinear and comprises alternately tenons and generally rectangular cutouts. The width of the tenons and cutouts may vary. The tenons are strong enough that moderate traction on
  • the figure 3 shows a first form of cutting according to the invention.
  • the two coupons 2a and 2b are held by tenons T on a first portion P1 of the dividing line of the two coupons 2a and 2b.
  • This first portion extends to the center of the line over a distance here equal to substantially half the width of the strip.
  • the separation line is cut forming the two second parts P2 and P'2. Each second part extends from one edge of the paper web.
  • a part P1 and a part P2 and / or P'2 are distinguished, the tenons of which are arranged in such a way that the tensile strength is lower on the second part than on the first part thus forming on the said second part. initiation of separation of the coupons.
  • the difference in tensile strength can be obtained by the spacing between the tenons, the tenons being for example all the same width.
  • the tenons being spaced from each other, there is a first space E1 between two adjacent tenons and a second space E2 between two adjacent tenons.
  • the two spaces are different between the first part P1 and the second part P2 and / or P'2.
  • the space E2 corresponds to the cutting of the parts P2 and P'2.
  • the figure 4 shows a variant with a cut P20 on one side of the first part P10 formed of tenons T.
  • the difference in tensile strength can be obtained by the spacing between the tenons and / or the width of the tenons.
  • the box 10 of the dispensing system of the invention represented on the figure 5 is here cubic form with a distribution system on one side that can be on the top.
  • This comprises two panels 11 and 12 arranged one against the other and standing with respect to an upper face 10s of the box.
  • the space between the two panels is open on one side 111 on the inside of the box.
  • the opposite edge 112 is open on a central portion 112a only. On either side of this opening 112a the panels meet in a closed edge 112b 112c.
  • the width of the panels 11 and 12 is the same as that of the strip 1
  • a coupon 2a of a band 1 is engaged in the opening 112a.
  • the box is for example cardboard but any other material is suitable; she can be flexible.
  • the panels are rigid or semi-rigid in order to be able to perform the guiding and holding function of the sheets of paper.
