Description

L'invention concerne un distributeur de papier dans lequel sont logés au moins deux rouleaux. L'invention trouve application plus particulièrement dans les distributeurs de papier absorbant, par exemple distributeur de papier toilette et de papier d'essuyage.The invention relates to a paper dispenser in which at least two rollers are accommodated. The invention finds application more particularly in dispensers of absorbent paper, for example dispenser of toilet paper and wiping paper.

Dans les lieux publics, notamment, les distributeurs de papier toilette comprennent généralement un boîtier, dans lequel est monté un rouleau d'une bande de papier toilette qui est dévidé par un orifice de distribution.In public places, in particular, the toilet paper dispensers generally comprise a housing, in which is mounted a roll of a strip of toilet paper which is unwound by a dispensing orifice.

La bande de papier comporte des prédécoupes transversales à la direction de son déroulement, définissant des feuilles rectangulaires qui peuvent être détachées individuellement. Le papier toilette est un papier en ouate de cellulose, souple et doux en surface, comprenant un ou plusieurs plis dont le grammage est habituellement compris entre 14g/cm2 et 30g/cm2 environ.The paper strip has pre-cuts transverse to the direction of its unwinding, defining rectangular sheets that can be detached individually. The toilet paper is a cellulose wadding paper, flexible and soft surface, comprising one or more plies whose weight is usually between 14g / cm2 and 30g / cm2 approximately.

Les distributeurs les plus répandus comprennent une ouverture, ou fenêtre, au moins de la largeur du papier toilette, disposée en position basse sur le distributeur, par lequel on dévide le papier. Le dévidage s'effectue en tirant sur l'extrémité libre du papier qui correspond à la couche externe du rouleau : on parle dans ce cas de dévidage périphérique du papier.The most common dispensers include an opening, or window, at least the width of the toilet paper, arranged in a low position on the dispenser, by which the paper is unwound. The unwinding takes place by pulling on the free end of the paper which corresponds to the outer layer of the roll: in this case it is referred to as peripheral feeding of the paper.

Lorsque l'utilisateur possède une certaine quantité de papier, il peut la découper grâce, par exemple, à un bord de coupe de l'ouverture du distributeur. Pour l'exploitant du distributeur de papier, et par conséquent pour son concepteur, l'un des enjeux principaux de la définition des caractéristiques du distributeur et de son rouleau est la minimisation de la consommation de papier. L'inconvénient du dispositif décrit ci-dessus est la liberté qu'a l'utilisateur du papier de dévider une grande quantité de feuilles de papier en tirant sur l'extrémité de la bande de façon continue. Cette faculté de l'utilisateur se traduit statistiquement par un gâchis de papier considérable, puisque l'utilisateur dévide plus de papier qu'il n'en a besoin.When the user has a certain amount of paper, he can cut it by, for example, a cutting edge of the dispenser opening. For the operator of the paper dispenser, and therefore for its designer, one of the main issues in defining the characteristics of the dispenser and its roller is the minimization of paper consumption. The disadvantage of the device described above is the freedom of the user of the paper to unwind a large amount of paper sheets by pulling on the end of the strip continuously. This faculty of the user is statistically translated by a considerable waste of paper, since the user rolls out more paper than he needs.

Une solution consiste à imposer à l'utilisateur un dévidage du papier feuille à feuille. L'art antérieur propose, dans le domaine du papier cuisine ou d'essuyage, c'est- à-dire du papier qui est, par comparaison au papier toilette, plus épais, plus résistant à l'eau dont les feuilles sont de plus grandes dimensions, ainsi que moins souple et moins doux, des distributeurs feuille à feuille à dévidage central.One solution is to force the user to unwind the sheet-by-sheet paper. The prior art proposes, in the field of kitchen paper or wiping, that is to say paper which is, compared to toilet paper, thicker, more resistant to water whose leaves are more large, as well as less flexible and less soft, central-fed single-sheet dispensers.

Dans ces derniers, le papier est dévidé à partir du centre du rouleau et extrait par l'orifice d'une buse, placée dans l'axe du rouleau ou en périphérie du distributeur, la buse étant généralement de forme tronconique et de faible section de sortie pour imposer la distribution feuille à feuille. On parle de dévidage central du papier, en l'espèce feuille à feuille. Un exemple d'un tel distributeur est décrit dans le document FR 2, 761, 252 .In the latter, the paper is unwound from the center of the roll and extracted through the orifice of a nozzle, placed in the axis of the roll or at the periphery of the dispenser, the nozzle being generally of frustoconical shape and of small cross section. exit to impose the distribution sheet by sheet. We speak of central reeling of the paper, in this case sheet by sheet. An example of such a dispenser is described in the document FR 2, 761, 252 .

On connaît par la demande de brevet français FR0451748 de la société GEORGIA PACIFIC FRANCE un distributeur de papier toilette feuille à feuille, avec une buse de distribution, qui délivre des feuilles de papier peu froissées en sortie de la buse, ce qui les rend agréables d'utilisation, tout en assurant par ailleurs une consommation minimale de papier.We know by the French patent application FR0451748 from GEORGIA PACIFIC FRANCE a sheet-fed toilet paper dispenser with a dispensing nozzle, which delivers creased sheets of paper at the outlet of the nozzle, which makes them pleasant to use, while at the same time ensuring minimum paper consumption.

Un tel distributeur à dévidage central possède une certaine capacité de stockage. Une fois que cette capacité est épuisée, le papier n'est plus disponible. Il en résulte que les utilisateurs des toilettes doivent trouver un distributeur opérationnel avec du papier toujours disponible. Un besoin se fait ressentir pour augmenter la disponibilité du papier et pour fournir un distributeur toujours opérationnel.Such a center-fed dispenser has a certain storage capacity. Once this capacity is exhausted, the paper is no longer available. As a result, toilet users must find an operational distributor with paper always available. There is a need to increase the availability of paper and to provide an always operational distributor.

La solution immédiate d'augmenter la taille des rouleaux n'est pas satisfaisante. En effet, si lors de la vérification du volume de papier disponible, on se rend compte qu'il en reste relativement peu, on peut remplacer le rouleau partiellement vide par un rouleau neuf, ce qui résulte en un gâchis, ou ne pas le remplacer et attendre que ce dernier soit terminé, ce qui peut entraîner une pénurie si le rouleau n'est pas changé à temps.The immediate solution to increase the size of the rolls is not satisfactory. Indeed, if during the verification of the volume of available paper, one realizes that it remains relatively little, one can replace the partially empty roll by a new roll, which results in a mess, or not replace it and wait for it to finish, which may result in a shortage if the roll is not changed in time.

Autrement dit, un rouleau de grande capacité permet de limiter le nombre de rechargement mais ne limite pas le risque de pénurie et n'augmente pas la disponibilité du papier.In other words, a roll of large capacity can limit the number of reloads but does not limit the risk of shortage and does not increase the availability of paper.

Une autre solution immédiate serait de prévoir plusieurs distributeurs les uns à côté des autres de manière à permettre de disposer d'une quantité importante de papier pour éviter une pénurie tout en évitant un gâchis.Another immediate solution would be to provide several distributors next to each other so as to allow to have a large amount of paper to avoid a shortage while avoiding a mess.

En pratique, cette solution présente un coût important. Le fait de doubler le nombre de distributeurs ne procure aucune économie. En outre, les distributeurs de papier sont généralement disposés dans des toilettes dont les dimensions sont restreintes. Une augmentation du nombre de distributeurs entraîne une réduction de l'espace réservé pour les usagers dans les toilettes.In practice, this solution has a significant cost. Doubling the number of distributors provides no savings. In addition, the paper dispensers are generally arranged in toilets whose dimensions are limited. An increase in the number of distributors leads to a reduction in the space reserved for users in the toilets.

Un autre problème rencontré dans l'agencement des toilettes est le positionnement d'un distributeur qui a une dimension plus importante dans une direction par rapport à une autre direction.Another problem encountered in the arrangement of toilets is the positioning of a dispenser which has a larger dimension in one direction relative to another direction.

Afin de ne pas rentrer en collision avec la porte des toilettes ou la rampe prévue dans les toilettes adaptées pour les personnes handicapées, il s'avère judicieux de pouvoir positionner la plus grande dimension du distributeur de manière horizontale, verticale ou inclinée selon l'organisation de l'espace des lieux.In order not to collide with the toilet door or the ramp provided in the toilet adapted for the disabled, it is advisable to position the largest dimension of the dispenser horizontally, vertically or inclined according to the organization space of places.

Le document GB2269361A montre un distributeur de papier avec deux rouleaux et un premier et deuxième logement, selon le préambule de revendication 1.The document GB2269361A shows a paper dispenser with two rollers and a first and second housing, according to the preamble of claim 1.

A cet effet, l'invention concerne un distributeur de papier en rouleau, en particulier un papier absorbant, comprenant un boîtier dans lequel est logé au moins deux rouleaux d'une bande de papier, le boîtier comportant :

  • un socle avec au moins un premier logement et un deuxième logement pour recevoir respectivement les au moins premier et deuxième rouleaux, et
  • au moins une première porte et une deuxième porte montées sur le socle et agencées, en position de fermeture, pour protéger respectivement les premier et deuxième rouleaux et, en position d'ouverture, pour accéder respectivement aux premier et deuxième logements afin de les recharger en rouleaux de manière individuelle, les première et deuxième portes comportant respectivement une première et une deuxième buse de distribution des bandes des premier et deuxième rouleaux.
To this end, the invention relates to a paper roll dispenser, in particular an absorbent paper, comprising a housing in which is housed at least two rolls of a paper strip, the housing comprising:
  • a base with at least a first housing and a second housing for respectively receiving the at least first and second rolls, and
  • at least a first door and a second door mounted on the base and arranged, in the closed position, to respectively protect the first and second rolls and, in the open position, to respectively access the first and second housings in order to recharge them in rolls individually, the first and second doors respectively having a first and a second strip distribution nozzle of the first and second rollers.

Le distributeur selon l'invention permet avantageusement d'être continuellement opérationnel en permettant d'avoir du papier toujours disponible, un des rouleaux étant utilisé comme rouleau de réserve. Grâce aux portes individuelles, le rechargement de chacun des logements du distributeur est indépendant. Cela permet de manière avantageuse de ne pas perturber la distribution d'un rouleau qui n'est pas entièrement dévidé lors du rechargement de l'autre rouleau. De plus, cela évite une contamination du rouleau en cours de dévidage.The dispenser according to the invention advantageously allows to be continuously operational by allowing to have paper always available, one of the rollers being used as a spare roll. Thanks to the individual doors, the reloading of each of the distributor's housing is independent. This advantageously allows not to disturb the distribution of a roll that is not fully unwound during reloading of the other roll. In addition, this avoids contamination of the roll during reeling.

Par ailleurs, lors de la fermeture des portes, il est nécessaire de tirer sur l'extrémité de la feuille extraite de la buse tout en refermant la porte afin d'éviter à la feuille de rester entre le flanc du rouleau et la porte fermée ce qui provoquerait un bourrage lors du dévidage. Le distributeur selon l'invention permet à l'agent de maintenance de correctement fermer la porte et de garder la bande de papier correctement positionnée par rapport à la buse. Les contraintes ergonomiques sont ainsi respectées pour l'agent de maintenance.Furthermore, when closing the doors, it is necessary to pull the end of the sheet extracted from the nozzle while closing the door to prevent the sheet to remain between the side of the roll and the closed door. which would cause a jam during the unwinding. The dispenser according to the invention allows the maintenance agent to properly close the door and to keep the paper strip properly positioned relative to the nozzle. The ergonomic constraints are thus respected for the maintenance agent.

Dans le cas d'un dévidage central, lorsque le rouleau est neuf, celui-ci possède une certaine rigidité qui lui permet de pouvoir être manipulé sans altérer sa capacité au dévidage. Une fois le rouleau entamé, sa rigidité diminue au fur et à mesure qu'il est dévidé. Si un rouleau qui est partiellement entamé reçoit un choc ou est déplacé, celui-ci s'affaisse sur lui-même et ne peut plus être utilisé, un dévidage central du rouleau n'étant alors plus possible.In the case of central reeling, when the roll is new, it has a certain rigidity that allows it to be manipulated without altering its ability to unwind. Once the roll is started, its rigidity decreases as it is unwound. If a roll that is partially started receives a shock or is displaced, it collapses on itself and can no longer be used, a central reeling of the roll is then no longer possible.

Un autre usage de ce distributeur permet de prévoir des rouleaux de différentes natures dans chacun des logements ce qui permet d'offrir une plus grande variété de papiers pour les usagers.Another use of this dispenser makes it possible to provide rolls of different types in each of the housings, which makes it possible to offer a greater variety of papers for the users.

Le distributeur est avantageusement compact et permet d'utiliser des rouleaux de papier toilette dont les dimensions sont similaires à la demande de brevet FR0451748 .The dispenser is advantageously compact and allows the use of rolls of toilet paper whose dimensions are similar to the patent application FR0451748 .

De préférence, les portes sont jointives en position de fermeture. Ainsi, les portes ne ménagent pas d'espace entre elles ce qui empêche un liquide d'atteindre les rouleaux qui sont protégés par les portes. Par ailleurs, les portes jointives permettent de former un capot global avec au moins deux buses de distribution.Preferably, the doors are contiguous in the closed position. Thus, the doors do not spare space between them which prevents a liquid from reaching the rolls that are protected by the doors. In addition, the contiguous doors make it possible to form a global hood with at least two distribution nozzles.

Selon un autre aspect de l'invention, les première et deuxième portes sont reliées par des moyens pivotants au socle, qui sont agencés pour écarter les portes du socle lors de l'ouverture de celles-ci, les portes demeurant proches l'une de l'autre en position de fermeture.According to another aspect of the invention, the first and second doors are connected by pivoting means to the base, which are arranged to separate the doors of the base during the opening thereof, the doors remaining close to one of them. the other in the closed position.

De préférence, les moyens pivotants se présentent sous la forme d'une charnière oblique. On entend par « oblique », le fait que les directions respectives des charnières sont différentes. Une fois le distributeur fixé à un mur vertical, la charnière permet avantageusement de guider la porte par rapport au socle de manière oblique. Lors de l'ouverture de la porte, celle-ci s'écarte de l'autre porte sans frottement. Il en est de même lors de la fermeture lorsque la porte se rapproche du socle et n'est jointive avec l'autre porte que lors de la fermeture totale.Preferably, the pivoting means are in the form of an oblique hinge. The term "oblique" means that the respective directions of the hinges are different. Once the dispenser is attached to a vertical wall, the hinge advantageously allows to guide the door relative to the base obliquely. When opening the door, it moves away from the other door without friction. It is the same when closing when the door is close to the base and is joined with the other door that during the total closure.

D'autres moyens peuvent être envisagés pour monter les portes, tels que des moyens formant glissière avec ouverture par translation.Other means may be envisaged for mounting the doors, such as slideway means with translational opening.

De manière préférée, chaque porte se présente sous la forme d'une enveloppe comprenant :

  • une face arrière ouverte pour permettre l'introduction du rouleau dans l'enveloppe lorsque la porte est refermée,
  • une face latérale vers ladite autre porte, et
  • des autres faces de manière à ce que les portes, en position de fermeture, forment ensemble une enveloppe continue.
Preferably, each door is in the form of an envelope comprising:
  • a rear face open to allow the introduction of the roll into the envelope when the door is closed,
  • one side face towards said other door, and
  • other faces so that the doors, in the closed position, together form a continuous envelope.

Selon un autre aspect de l'invention, les premier et deuxième logements comprennent respectivement un premier et deuxième support de rouleau agencés pour supporter respectivement les premier et deuxième rouleaux lorsque le distributeur est en position montée.According to another aspect of the invention, the first and second housings respectively comprise a first and second roller support arranged to support respectively the first and second rollers when the dispenser is in the mounted position.

Le distributeur peut être monté sur une surface verticale selon plusieurs positions (verticale, horizontale, oblique).The dispenser can be mounted on a vertical surface in several positions (vertical, horizontal, oblique).

Avantageusement, les supports de rouleau permettent de maintenir et de supporter les rouleaux dans toutes les positions. Les moyens d'accroche de la face arrière du socle sont prévus à cet effet pour permettre une fixation aisée dans toutes les positions. Elles sont par exemple munies d'orifice de forme oblongue pour s'adapter aux différentes positions existantes sur les surfaces verticales.Advantageously, the roll holders are used to hold and support the rollers in all positions. The attachment means of the rear face of the base are provided for this purpose to allow easy fixing in all positions. They are for example provided with oblong orifice to adapt to the different positions existing on the vertical surfaces.

De préférence, les géométries et/ou dimensions de chaque support de rouleau sont agencées pour recouvrir latéralement le rouleau qu'il supporte de manière à le protéger latéralement lorsqu'une porte est ouverte. Ainsi, lorsqu'un premier logement est rechargé et que sa première porte est ouverte, le deuxième rouleau, qui ne doit pas être rechargé et qui est protégé par sa deuxième porte, est accessible par sa face latérale ouverte. Le support du deuxième rouleau protège avantageusement la partie latérale du deuxième rouleau et se substitue avantageusement à une face latérale « fermée » de la deuxième porte.Preferably, the geometries and / or dimensions of each roller support are arranged to laterally cover the roller which it supports so as to protect it laterally when a door is open. Thus, when a first housing is reloaded and its first door is open, the second roller, which must not be reloaded and is protected by its second door, is accessible by its open side. The support of the second roller advantageously protects the lateral part of the second roller and advantageously replaces a "closed" side face of the second door.

De préférence encore, les supports de rouleau s'étendent orthogonalement par rapport au socle à la périphérie des premier et deuxième logements.More preferably, the roll supports extend orthogonally with respect to the base at the periphery of the first and second housings.

De préférence toujours, les supports de rouleau se présentent sous la forme d'un cylindre ou d'une portion de cylindre. Le support de rouleau est évidé latéralement, de préférence la partie qui supporte le rouleau forme un angle (α) compris entre 180 et 360°, de préférence strictement supérieur à 180° et inférieur ou égal à 280°.Still preferably, the roller supports are in the form of a cylinder or a cylinder portion. The roller support is recessed laterally, preferably the part which supports the roll forms an angle (α) between 180 and 360 °, preferably strictly greater than 180 ° and less than or equal to 280 °.

Avantageusement chaque porte du distributeur coopère avec les supports de son logement pour assurer une cloison de séparation continue lorsque la porte de l'autre logement est ouverte et ainsi empêcher la contamination du deuxième rouleau lors du rechargement du premier logement.Advantageously, each door of the dispenser cooperates with the supports of its housing to ensure a continuous partition wall when the door of the other housing is open and thus prevent contamination of the second roller when reloading the first housing.

Selon un autre aspect de l'invention, chaque logement comprend un plateau poussoir, des moyens élastiques étant montés entre le logement et le plateau poussoir de manière à écarter le plateau de son logement. Ainsi, les rouleaux sont contraints contre les portes ce qui permet de maintenir correctement les rouleaux plaqués contre la porte et ainsi éviter l'affaissement des rouleaux.According to another aspect of the invention, each housing comprises a pusher plate, elastic means being mounted between the housing and the pusher plate so as to move the tray from its housing. Thus, the rollers are forced against the doors which keeps the plated rollers properly against the door and thus prevent the collapse of the rollers.

De préférence, chaque porte comprend des moyens de verrouillage agencés pour verrouiller la porte par rapport au socle en position de fermeture.Preferably, each door comprises locking means arranged to lock the door relative to the base in the closed position.

Enfin, selon un mode de réalisation de l'invention, le distributeur est un distributeur à dévidage central.Finally, according to one embodiment of the invention, the dispenser is a central unwinding dispenser.

Selon un mode de réalisation préféré de l'invention, le distributeur est un distributeur de papier absorbant tel que papier toilette.According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, the dispenser is a dispenser of absorbent paper such as toilet paper.

L'invention sera mieux comprise à l'aide de la description non-limitative suivante de la forme de réalisation préférée du distributeur de l'invention, en référence au dessin annexé, sur lequel :

The invention will be better understood with the aid of the following non-limiting description of the preferred embodiment of the dispenser of the invention, with reference to the appended drawing, in which:
  • the figure 1 is a perspective view of a two-slot dispenser according to the invention, a roll of toilet paper being housed in each of the housing, a toilet paper being being unwound from each of the rollers;

  • the figure 10 is a sectional view along the YY axis of the compartment to the right of the distributor of the figure 8 seen from below (with a slight angle).

En référence à la figure 1, le distributeur 10 de l'invention est un distributeur de papier toilette.With reference to the figure 1 the dispenser 10 of the invention is a toilet paper dispenser.

Le papier toilette est ici un papier en ouate de cellulose, comportant par exemple deux plis, ou couches, reliés éventuellement entre eux par tout moyen mécanique ou chimique approprié, par exemple par moletage ou collage, de façon bien connue de l'homme du métier. Le papier toilette se présente sous la forme d'une bande qui est enroulée en un rouleau 4, ce dernier comportant un mandrin interne central ou non, le mandrin étant retiré au moment de la mise en fonction du rouleau. La bande comporte des prédécoupes transversales à la direction de déroulement de la bande, définissant des feuilles de papier qui peuvent être détachées individuellement.Here, the toilet paper is a paper made of cellulose wadding, for example comprising two plies, or layers, possibly interconnected by any appropriate mechanical or chemical means, for example by knurling or gluing, in a manner well known to those skilled in the art. . The toilet paper is in the form of a strip which is wound into a roll 4, the latter having a central internal mandrel or not, the mandrel being removed at the time of operation of the roller. The strip has pre-cuts transverse to the unwinding direction of the strip, defining paper sheets that can be detached individually.

Le distributeur 10 comprend un boîtier 60, de forme allongée, de réception d'au moins deux rouleaux 4, 4', qui sont de forme cylindrique. Le boîtier 60 est agencé de façon à ce que les rouleaux 4, 4' ne tournent pas sur leur axe lors de leur dévidement.The distributor 10 comprises a housing 60, of elongate shape, for receiving at least two rollers 4, 4 ', which are cylindrical in shape. The housing 60 is arranged so that the rollers 4, 4 'do not rotate on their axis during unwinding.

Dans cet exemple, le boîtier est formé d'une seule pièce formant un boîtier global. Il va de soi que le boîtier pourrait être formé d'au moins deux boîtiers individuels montés ensemble par exemple au moyen de clips.In this example, the housing is formed of a single piece forming a global housing. It goes without saying that the housing could be formed of at least two individual housings mounted together for example by means of clips.

En référence aux figures 1 à 4, le boîtier 60 comporte un socle 5 dans lequel sont logés les rouleaux 4, 4'. Les rouleaux 4, 4' sont recouverts par un capot formé par deux portes 1, 1' permettant le rechargement individuel de chacun des rouleaux 4, 4' dans le distributeur 10. On entend par « socle » aussi bien un socle unique ou l'assemblage de plusieurs socles élémentaires par exemple au moyen de clips pour former au final ledit socle.With reference to Figures 1 to 4 , the housing 60 comprises a base 5 in which are housed the rollers 4, 4 '. The rollers 4, 4 'are covered by a cover formed by two doors 1, 1' allowing the individual refilling of each of the rollers 4, 4 'in the distributor 10. The term "base" is understood to mean a single base or the assembly of several elementary bases, for example by means of clips to ultimately form said base.

Par la suite, on définit les termes « gauche » et « droite » par rapport à la figure 4 sur laquelle le distributeur 10 est divisé par le plan (P)les parties du distributeur à gauche du plan de (P) étant désignées « parties gauche » tandis que celles à droite du plan de (P) sont désignées « parties droite ».Subsequently, the terms "left" and "right" are defined in relation to the figure 4 on which the distributor 10 is divided by the plane (P) the parts of the distributor to the left of the plane of (P) being designated "left parts" while those to the right of the plane of (P) are designated "right parts".

Le distributeur 10 va être maintenant décrit en détails.The dispenser 10 will now be described in detail.

Socle du distributeur (5)Distributor base (5)

En référence à la figure 5, 9 et 10, le socle 5 se présente sous la forme d'un élément allongé dans lequel sont ménagés deux logements 51, 51' de réception de rouleaux 4, 4' : un logement situé à droite 51 et un logement situé à gauche 51'.With reference to the figure 5 , 9 and 10 , the base 5 is in the form of an elongated element in which are formed two housing 51, 51 'of receiving rollers 4, 4 ': a housing on the right 51 and a housing on the left 51'.

Les logements 51, 51' sont formés dans l'épaisseur du socle. Les logements 51, 51' sont ici circulaires pour accueillir respectivement les rouleaux de papier toilette 4, 4' de forme tubulaire.The housings 51, 51 'are formed in the thickness of the base. The housings 51, 51 'are here circular to respectively accommodate rolls of toilet paper 4, 4' of tubular form.

Chaque logement 51, 51' comprend des ouvertures traversantes 54 qui sont agencées pour permettre la fixation du socle 5 à une paroi verticale. Dans cet exemple, chaque logement 51, 51' comprend une pluralité d'ouvertures traversantes 54, dont une centrale, se présentant sous la forme d'une rainure longitudinale comportant dans son milieu une ouverture circulaire. De manière connue, cela permet de fixer manuellement le distributeur 10 à une paroi dans laquelle sont fixées des vis.Each housing 51, 51 'comprises through openings 54 which are arranged to allow the attachment of the base 5 to a vertical wall. In this example, each housing 51, 51 'comprises a plurality of through openings 54, including a central, being in the form of a longitudinal groove having in its middle a circular opening. In a known manner, this makes it possible to manually fix the distributor 10 to a wall in which screws are fastened.

La pluralité d'ouverture 54 est conçue pour que le distributeur 10 puisse être monté en position horizontale (si la grande dimension du distributeur est horizontale), en position verticale (si la grande dimension du distributeur est verticale) et en position oblique (si la grande dimension du distributeur est oblique).The plurality of apertures 54 are designed so that the dispenser 10 can be mounted in a horizontal position (if the large dimension of the dispenser is horizontal), in a vertical position (if the large dimension of the dispenser is vertical) and in an oblique position (if the large dimension of the dispenser is oblique).

Par la suite, le distributeur 10 est décrit monté en position horizontale mais il va de soi que le distributeur 10 pourrait également être monté en position verticale ou oblique.Subsequently, the distributor 10 is described mounted in a horizontal position, but it goes without saying that the distributor 10 could also be mounted in a vertical or oblique position.

Portes de protection (1, 1')Protective doors (1, 1 ')

En référence maintenant aux figures 3 et 4, les rouleaux situé à droite 4 et situé à gauche 4' sont respectivement protégés par une porte située à droite 1 et une porte située à gauche 1' qui sont montées pivotantes par rapport au socle 5 via une charnière située à droite 2 et une charnière située à gauche 2'.Referring now to Figures 3 and 4 , the rollers on the right 4 and left 4 'are respectively protected by a door on the right 1 and a door on the left 1' which are pivotally mounted relative to the base 5 via a hinge on the right 2 and a hinge located on the left 2 '.

Les portes 1, 1' comportent chacune une buse 3, 3' de distribution des bandes de papier toilette des rouleaux 4, 4'.The doors 1, 1 'each comprise a nozzle 3, 3' for dispensing the strips of toilet paper rollers 4, 4 '.

Le papier toilette est dévidé à partir du centre du rouleau 4, 4' et extrait par l'orifice de la buse 3, 3'. La buse 3, 3' est généralement de forme tronconique et de faible section de sortie pour imposer une distribution feuille à feuille.The toilet paper is unwound from the center of the roll 4, 4 'and extracted through the orifice of the nozzle 3, 3'. The nozzle 3, 3 'is generally frustoconical in shape and of small output section to impose a sheet-to-sheet distribution.

En position de fermeture, les portes 1, 1' protègent les rouleaux 4, 4' contre d'éventuelles agressions extérieures de manière à garantir que le papier toilette demeure hygiénique. A cet effet, les portes 1, 1' sont jointives en position de fermeture de manière à former un capot global pour le distributeur 10. Dans cet exemple, chaque porte 1, 1' se présente sous la forme d'une enveloppe partiellement cylindrique, comprenant une face arrière ouverte pour permettre l'introduction du rouleau 4, 4' dans l'enveloppe lorsque la porte 1, l'est refermée, une face latérale évidée ou semi-évidée vers ladite autre porte 1, 1' et d'autres faces de manière à ce que les portes 1, 1', en position de fermeture, possèdent ensemble une enveloppe continue. Autrement dit, l'association des deux portes 1, 1' en position de fermeture remplit avantageusement la même fonction qu'un unique capot global. Dans d'autres modes de réalisation, la face latérale peut aussi être pleine.In the closed position, the doors 1, 1 'protect the rollers 4, 4' against possible external aggressions so as to ensure that the toilet paper remains hygienic. For this purpose, the doors 1, 1 'are joined in the closed position so as to form a global cover for the distributor 10. In this example, each door 1, 1' is in the form of a partially cylindrical envelope, comprising a rear face open to allow the introduction of the roll 4, 4 'into the envelope when the door 1, is closed, a side recessed or semi-recessed towards said other door 1, 1' and other faces so that the doors 1, 1 ', in the closed position, together have a continuous envelope. In other words, the combination of the two doors 1, 1 'in the closed position advantageously performs the same function as a single overall cover. In other embodiments, the side face may also be full.

En position d'ouverture, les portes 1, 1' permettent l'accès aux logements 51, 51' afin de les recharger en rouleaux 4, 4' de manière individuelle. Cela permet de recharger individuellement un logement 51, 51' par ouverture d'une porte 1, 1' tout en laissant l'autre porte 1' 1 en position de fermeture afin qu'elle protège le rouleau 4', 4 en cours d'utilisation.In the open position, the doors 1, 1 'allow access to the housing 51, 51' in order to reload rollers 4, 4 'individually. This allows to individually recharge a housing 51, 51 'by opening a door 1, 1' while leaving the other door 1 '1 in the closed position so that it protects the roll 4', 4 in progress use.

Dans cet exemple, en référence aux figures 2 et 6, les charnières 2, 2' sont des charnières obliques ; c'est-à-dire que la direction de l'axe de la charnière droite 2 est différente de la direction de l'axe de la charnière gauche 2'. De plus, les axes des charnières 2, 2' ne s'étendent respectivement pas parallèlement à la direction dans laquelle s'étend le distributeur 10. Cela permet de manière avantageuse de faire pivoter la porte 1, 1' de manière oblique par rapport au socle 5.In this example, with reference to figures 2 and 6 the hinges 2, 2 'are oblique hinges; that is, the direction of the axis of the right hinge 2 is different from the direction of the axis of the left hinge 2 '. In addition, the axes of the hinges 2, 2 'do not respectively extend parallel to the direction in which the distributor 10 extends. This advantageously makes it possible to pivot the door 1, 1' obliquely with respect to the base 5.

Autrement dit, toujours pour un distributeur 10 monté horizontalement, lorsque l'on ouvre une porte 1, 1' celle-ci se déplace dans une direction oblique qui comprend une composante verticale mais également une composante horizontale de manière à s'écarter du centre du distributeur 10, i.e. d'un plan (P), le plan (P) correspondant aux faces latérales des portes (1, 1'). En d'autres termes, entre sa position de fermeture et sa position d'ouverture, la porte 1, 1' s'écarte du plan de (P) ce qui permet d'éviter que les portes 1, l'entrent en contact lors de l'ouverture ou de la fermeture d'une des deux portes. De préférence, les charnières 2, 2' sont dans la partie inférieure du distributeur 10 de manière à ce que les portes 1, 1' s'ouvrent essentiellement de haut en bas.In other words, again for a distributor 10 mounted horizontally, when opening a door 1, 1 'it moves in an oblique direction which comprises a vertical component but also a horizontal component so as to deviate from the center of the distributor 10, ie of a plane (P), the plane (P) corresponding to the side faces of the doors (1, 1 '). In others terms, between its closed position and its open position, the door 1, 1 'deviates from the plane of (P) which prevents the doors 1, the contact with it during the opening or closing one of the two doors. Preferably, the hinges 2, 2 'are in the lower part of the distributor 10 so that the doors 1, 1' open essentially from top to bottom.

Les portes 1, 1' comprennent en outre chacune des moyens de verrouillage en fermeture 7, 7' qui se présentent, en référence aux figures 7 et 8, sous la forme d'une serrure fermée par une clé. Cela permet avantageusement d'éviter tout vol de rouleau de papier toilette. Les moyens de verrouillage en fermeture 7, 7' sont ici situés dans la partie supérieure du distributeur 10 monté horizontalement.The doors 1, 1 'furthermore comprise each of the closing locking means 7, 7' which are presented with reference to the Figures 7 and 8 in the form of a lock closed by a key. This advantageously avoids any theft of roll of toilet paper. The closing locking means 7, 7 'are here located in the upper part of the distributor 10 mounted horizontally.

Supports de rouleau (6, 6')Roll holders (6, 6 ')

Toujours en référence à la figure 5, pour un distributeur 10 monté horizontalement, chaque logement 51, 51' comprend à sa périphérie un support de rouleau 6, 6' se présentant sous la forme d'une portion tubulaire cylindrique s'étendant perpendiculairement au socle 5. La portion tubulaire cylindrique est évidée latéralement de manière à permettre une introduction longitudinale et latérale d'un rouleau 4, 4' dans un logement 51, 51', la partie dépassant du socle, qui supporte le rouleau forme un angle α comme représenté sur la figure 5.Still referring to the figure 5 for a horizontally mounted distributor 10, each housing 51, 51 'comprises at its periphery a roll support 6, 6' in the form of a cylindrical tubular portion extending perpendicular to the base 5. The cylindrical tubular portion is laterally recessed so as to allow a longitudinal and lateral introduction of a roll 4, 4 'into a housing 51, 51', the portion protruding from the base, which supports the roll forms an angle α as shown in FIG. figure 5 .

En position d'utilisation horizontale, lorsque le distributeur 10 est monté sur une paroi verticale, l'angle α du support 6, 6' est orienté vers le haut de manière à permettre une insertion aisée du rouleau 4, 4' depuis le haut vers le bas, selon une direction verticale. Le support 6, 6' remplit une fonction de support de la masse du rouleau mais également une fonction de protection de la bande du rouleau 4, 4'. Cette dernière fonction sera explicitée par la suite.In the horizontal use position, when the distributor 10 is mounted on a vertical wall, the angle α of the support 6, 6 'is oriented upwards so as to allow easy insertion of the roll 4, 4' from the top to down, in a vertical direction. The support 6, 6 'fulfills a function of supporting the mass of the roll but also a protective function of the web of the roll 4, 4'. This last function will be explained later.

Dans cet exemple, l'angle α du support 6, 6' est environ de 240° mais il va de soi que tout angle compris entre 180° et 360° pourrait également convenir pour remplir cette double fonction. En effet, avec un tel degré d'ouverture, le support 6, 6' remplit encore sa fonction de support des rouleaux 4, 4' lorsque le distributeur 10 est en position verticale ou oblique.In this example, the angle α of the support 6, 6 'is about 240 ° but it goes without saying that any angle between 180 ° and 360 ° could also be suitable to fulfill this dual function. Indeed, with such a degree of opening, the support 6, 6 'still fulfills its function of supporting the rollers 4, 4' when the distributor 10 is in a vertical or oblique position.

En référence maintenant aux figures 9 et 10, chaque logement 51, 51' comprend en outre un plateau poussoir 52, de forme circulaire, destiné à recevoir sur sa face avant un rouleau 4, 4'. Des moyens élastiques, ici des ressorts 53, sont montés entre la face arrière du plateau poussoir 52 et la face avant du logement 51 pour plaquer le rouleau contre la porte 1 en position de fermeture. En référence aux figures 5, 9 et 10, chaque logement 51, 51' comprend, sur sa face avant, des tubes 55, saillants verticalement, qui sont agencés pour recevoir les ressorts 53, 53' dans leur volume intérieur.Referring now to Figures 9 and 10 each housing 51, 51 'further comprises a pusher plate 52, of circular shape, for receiving on its front face a roller 4, 4'. Elastic means, here springs 53, are mounted between the rear face of the pusher plate 52 and the front face of the housing 51 to press the roller against the door 1 in the closed position. With reference to figures 5 , 9 and 10 , each housing 51, 51 'comprises, on its front face, tubes 55, vertically projecting, which are arranged to receive the springs 53, 53' in their internal volume.

La présence d'une pluralité de ressorts 53, 53' dans un même logement 51, 51' permet avantageusement d'équilibrer la poussée vers l'avant exercée par le plateau poussoir 52, 52' et ainsi de permettre un contact homogène entre le rouleau 4, 4' et sa porte 1, 1'.The presence of a plurality of springs 53, 53 'in the same housing 51, 51' advantageously makes it possible to balance the forward thrust exerted by the pusher plate 52, 52 'and thus to allow a homogeneous contact between the roller 4, 4 'and its door 1, 1'.

Par ailleurs, le plateau poussoir 52, 52' est retenu dans son logement 51, 51' par des butées qui limitent la course du plateau poussoir 52, 52' et évitent ainsi que le plateau poussoir 52, 52' ne se sépare de son logement 51, 51'.Furthermore, the pusher plate 52, 52 'is retained in its housing 51, 51' by stops which limit the travel of the pusher plate 52, 52 'and thus prevent the pusher plate 52, 52' from separating from its housing. 51, 51 '.

Selon un autre mode de réalisation, le support du rouleau peut être une partie intégrante ou solidaire du socle.According to another embodiment, the support of the roller may be an integral or integral part of the base.

Selon encore un autre mode de réalisation, le support peut être formé d'une pluralité de zones ou surfaces d'appui maintenant le rouleau en place et assurant la fonction de support dans toutes les directions. Les matériaux de ce support seront choisis de manière appropriée pour remplir cette fonction.According to yet another embodiment, the support may be formed of a plurality of bearing zones or surfaces holding the roller in place and providing the support function in all directions. The materials of this support will be appropriately chosen to fulfill this function.

Une mise en oeuvre de l'invention va être maintenant présentée.An implementation of the invention will now be presented.

Utilisation du distributeurUse of the distributor

Une fois fixé à une paroi verticale dans une position de montage horizontale, les rouleaux 4, 4' s'étendent dans leurs logements 51 orthogonalement au socle 5, la masse des rouleaux 4, 4' étant supportée par les supports 6, 6' qui s'étendent sous les rouleaux 4, 4'. Les supports 6, 6' forment avantageusement des berceaux dans lequel sont reçus les rouleaux 4, 4'.Once attached to a vertical wall in a horizontal mounting position, the rollers 4, 4 'extend in their housing 51 orthogonal to the base 5, the mass of the rollers 4, 4' being supported by the supports 6, 6 'which extend under the rollers 4, 4 '. The supports 6, 6 'advantageously form cradles in which the rollers 4, 4' are received.

Les rouleaux 4, 4' sont protégés par les portes 1, 1' en position de fermeture qui forment un capot global pour le distributeur 10, les protégeant ainsi contre les attaques extérieures (chocs, liquide, etc.). Une extrémité de bande de papier toilette de chaque rouleau 4, 4' est saillante via la buse de distribution 3, 3' de chacune des portes 1, 1' comme représenté sur la figure 1. Ainsi, un usager peut aisément tirer l'extrémité de la bande pour obtenir une feuille de papier.The rollers 4, 4 'are protected by the doors 1, 1' in the closed position which form a global cover for the distributor 10, thus protecting them against external attacks (shocks, liquid, etc.). One end of the toilet paper strip of each roll 4, 4 'protrudes via the dispensing nozzle 3, 3' of each of the doors 1, 1 'as shown in FIG. figure 1 . Thus, a user can easily pull the end of the strip to obtain a sheet of paper.

Outre sa compacité, le distributeur 10 possède un rouleau de réserve 4' ou 4 qui permet de faire face à toute pénurie et/ou limiter le nombre de rechargement. Par ailleurs, les rouleaux 4, 4' sont rechargés indépendamment l'un de l'autre ce qui permet d'utiliser complètement un rouleau 4, 4' avant de le remplacer, le rouleau de réserve 4', 4 permettant d'assurer la transition.In addition to its compactness, the distributor 10 has a reserve roller 4 'or 4 which can cope with any shortage and / or limit the number of reloading. Furthermore, the rollers 4, 4 'are reloaded independently of one another, which makes it possible to completely use a roll 4, 4' before replacing it, the spare roll 4 ', 4 making it possible to ensure the transition.

La bande de papier toilette peut être de différente nature dans chacun des logements (papier normal et papier contre les allergies par exemple), ce qui permet une plus grande flexibilité d'utilisation du distributeur 10. De préférence, la distribution se fait feuille à feuille ce qui entraîne une baisse de la consommation de papier de la part des usagers.The toilet paper strip may be of different types in each of the housings (normal paper and allergy-resistant paper for example), which allows a greater flexibility of use of the dispenser 10. Preferably, the dispensing is done sheet by sheet which leads to a decrease in paper consumption by users.

Par ailleurs, les portes 1, 1' sont verrouillées au socle 5 par les moyens de verrouillage 7, 7' afin d'éviter tout vol de rouleaux 4, 4'.Furthermore, the doors 1, 1 'are locked to the base 5 by the locking means 7, 7' to prevent theft of rollers 4, 4 '.

Rechargement du distributeurReloading the distributor

A titre d'exemple, pour recharger le logement situé à droite 51 du distributeur 10, l'utilisateur chargé de l'entretien doit tout d'abord déverrouiller la porte située à droite 1 de manière à permettre le pivotement de la porte située à droite 1 par rapport au socle 5.For example, to reload the housing on the right 51 of the distributor 10, the user in charge of maintenance must first unlock the door on the right side 1 so as to allow the pivoting of the door on the right 1 relative to the base 5.

Suite à son ouverture, la porte située à droite 1 se déplace dans une direction oblique vers le bas pour venir s'immobiliser sous le distributeur 10 comme représenté sur la figure 3. Une fois ouverte, la porte située à droite 1 est en position stable sous le distributeur, le logement situé à droite 51 étant alors accessible pour le rechargement.Following its opening, the right-hand door 1 moves in an oblique downward direction to come to rest under the dispenser 10 as shown in FIG. figure 3 . Once opened, the door on the right 1 is in a stable position under the dispenser, the housing on the right 51 being then accessible for reloading.

Bien que le support situé à droite 6 ne soit pas représenté sur la figure 3, un rouleau neuf 4 est disposé dans le support situé à droite 6 du distributeur 10, l'extrémité arrière du rouleau situé à droite 4 étant en appui sur le plateau situé à droite 52 du logement situé à droite 51. Après avoir fait passer l'extrémité de la bande du rouleau 4 dans la buse de distribution 3, on referme la porte située à droite 1 en la faisant pivoter dans le sens inverse et simultanément on tire sur la bande de papier extraite à travers l'orifice de la buse. La fermeture de la porte située à droite 1 entraine une pression sur le rouleau situé à droite 4. En position de fermeture de la porte située à droite 1, le rouleau situé à droite 4 est fermement maintenu entre la porte située à droite 1 et le plateau situé à droite 52 ce qui permet d'éviter tout affaissement du rouleau situé à droite 4.Although the support on the right 6 is not represented on the figure 3 a new roll 4 is disposed in the support on the right 6 of the dispenser 10, the rear end of the roller located on the right 4 being in abutment on the plate located on the right 52 of the housing on the right 51. After passing the end of the strip of the roll 4 in the dispensing nozzle 3, the door on the right 1 by turning it in the opposite direction and simultaneously pulling the paper strip extracted through the orifice of the nozzle. Closing the door on the right 1 causes pressure on the roller on the right 4. In the closed position of the door on the right 1, the roller on the right 4 is firmly held between the door on the right 1 and the tray located on the right 52 which avoids any sagging of the roller on the right 4.

En référence aux figures 7 et 8, on remarque que le rechargement du distributeur 10 est particulièrement hygiénique. En effet, bien que la porte située à droite 1 soit évidée latéralement en position de fermeture, le support situé à gauche 6 associé à la paroi latérale de la porte située à droite 1 vient protéger latéralement le rouleau situé à droite 4 lors du rechargement du rouleau situé à gauche 4' .With reference to Figures 7 and 8 it is noted that the refilling of the dispenser 10 is particularly hygienic. Indeed, although the right-hand door 1 is recessed laterally in the closed position, the support located on the left 6 associated with the side wall of the right-hand door 1 comes to protect laterally the roll on the right 4 during the reloading of the door. roll on the left 4 '.

Autrement dit, l'angle α du support 6, 6' est avantageusement calibré pour permettre, d'une part, une introduction aisée d'un rouleau neuf (nécessité d'un petit angle) et, d'autre part, un support et une protection efficace du rouleau entamé quand un rouleau neuf est inséré (nécessité d'un grand angle).In other words, the angle α of the support 6, 6 'is advantageously calibrated to allow, on the one hand, an easy introduction of a new roll (need for a small angle) and, on the other hand, a support and effective protection of the roll started when a new roll is inserted (need a wide angle).

L'invention a été ici présentée avec un distributeur comprenant deux rouleaux mais il va de soi que le distributeur pourrait comprendre plus de deux rouleaux alignés ou en quinconce dans le distributeur.The invention has been presented here with a dispenser comprising two rollers but it goes without saying that the dispenser could comprise more than two rollers aligned or staggered in the dispenser.
