  • the flap (7) is articulated at its base by the axes (5) penetrating into openings formed on the side walls of the housing.
  • the flap (7) has a protruding shape (8) with a curvilinear configuration which is capable of surrounding the complementary shape (6) established on the inside wall of the cover by defining between them a passage (P) of the strip of material .
  • the shape (8) has a horseshoe-shaped appearance and fits snugly around the shape (6), both having the same thickness by somehow sandwiching the strip of wiping material.
  • the strip of drawn material lies flat and without folds when passing between forms (6 - 8).
  • the apparatus at the exit point of the strip of material is provided with abutments (17 - 18) opposite on either side of the strip of material ensuring the separation of a strip format by relative to the pre-cut line opposite the band.
  • the opening for pulling the web of material is upstream of the separation of the webstrip formats.
  • the apparatus comprises only three components, the housing, the cover and the device (D) consisting of a single plate (7) providing the various loading, guiding and setting functions. in anti-crease form of the strip of material.
  • These three components are made of plastic material and can be assembled by simply snapping without external screwing element or the like.
  • the front wall of the cover is parallel to the plate (7) leaving a passage to the strip of material by pulling its movement and its output from the front of the device. If the material is set in a folded precut configuration, the fold configuration allows the material above the device to be conveyed to the upper housing portion (7a) and then the format output by format.
  • the retention and the passage of the web of material between the complementary shapes (6-8) allow, in combination with the stops (17 - 18) side, the separation of a format of material and successively.
  • These abutments in contact with the material cause a retaining effect and result in the separation of the tape format by progressive tearing from the ends of the pre-cut line and thus the total separation of the tape format from the rest of the tape. material.
  • the device (D) includes two means: a loading and guiding plate (9) and an anti-folding shaping plate (10).
  • the cover (4) is arranged on either side of the cutout (4b) with two identical shapes (6) protruding and thickened having a configuration for example triangular and defining at the base of this shape a curvilinear configuration (6a) .
  • These two forms (6a) are likely by their full face to form planes of support and sliding flat of the strip of drawn material and participating in its shaping device output.
  • the thickness of these shapes (6a) is of the order of about 2 to 3 mm.
  • the device (D) comprises a loading plate (9) articulated with respect to the housing and having at its upper end in which is positioned a deflection roller (11), and a plate (10) for shaping anti-creases.
  • the strip of material pre-cut into a coil or folded in a Z disposed at the front of the loading plate in a parallel plane and in elastic return relative thereto.
  • the loading plate (9) is articulated at its base (9a) on pivot axes (12) relative to the side walls (1c) of the housing and is in the longitudinal plane of the housing.

  • the return means (14) allow by elastic expansion a pressure of the anti-crease forming plate against the inner face of the lid with a slight pressure.
  • the anti-crease shaping plate makes it possible to flatten the sliding of the strip of material when leaving the apparatus.
  • the tensile force will ensure at the end of the passage the separation of a strip relative to the rest of the coil through the two stops (17-18).
  • the various cutouts formed on the lid, the loading plate and the anti-bending shaping plate allow the material to be gripped by the user.
  • FIG 12 an alternative embodiment in which the coil of pre-cut materials is positioned in the opposite direction of the position illustrated above.
  • the material coil is mounted on arms (16) resiliently articulated by return means (19) to always come to bear the return roller.
  • the tilting of the support arms of the reel takes place according to the arrow (F1) and the unfolding of the band according to the arrow (F2).
  • the two abutments (17-18) are arranged symmetrically with respect to the zone of passage and exit of the strip of material. These stops are arranged near the lower front of the device and slide relative to its edge. These stops are also adapted to the device in the configuration of the different variants.
  • the solution provided by the invention is very practical, inexpensive and easy to use.
  • the apparatus can be made of plastic material, or in the form of cardboard in lost packaging.
