Abstract

The dispenser has a guide path (6) guiding from top into a dispensing position, in which a hold position for a spare roll (20) is provided. A device is provided for unblocking a blocking unit (7) for the spare roll after a paper is used. A device for detecting a diameter of a dispensing roll exhibits a sensor element (11) that presses against a peripheral surface of the dispensing roll. The sensor element is displaced by the spare roll that falls down, and returns to a sensor position, once the spare roll has fallen down. Another blocking unit (8) co-acts with one of lever arms (12, 13).

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Spender für Papier von einer in einer unteren Spendeposition liegenden Spenderolle, mit einer von oben in die Spendeposition führenden Führungsbahn, in der eine durch ein Sperrmittel definierte Warteposition für eine Reserverolle vorgesehen ist, mit einer Einrichtung zur Erfassung des Durchmessers der Spenderolle und mit einer Einrichtung zum Lösen des Sperrmittels für die Reserverolle nach Aufbrauch des Papiers der Spenderolle.The invention relates to a dispenser for paper from a lying in a lower donation donor role, with a leading from above into the dispensing position guideway, in which a defined by a blocking means waiting position is provided for a reserve roll, with a means for detecting the diameter of the donor roll and with a device for releasing the locking means for the reserve roll after exhaustion of the paper of the donor roll.

Ein derartiger Spender ist beispielsweise der US 4,844,361 zu entnehmen. Bei diesem Spender endet die Führungsbahn in der Spendeposition und ist nach unten offen, sodass die Spenderolle auf einer Förderwalze aufliegt. Der Träger der Spenderrolle wird zusätzlich durch einen Schwenkhebel gehalten bzw. geführt, aus dem der Träger ebenfalls nach unten frei austreten kann. Ist das Papier der Spenderolle aufgebraucht, hat sich der Schwenkhebel so weit nach untern bewegt, dass das Sperrmittel für die Reserverolle entriegelt und von der unter Schwerkrafteinfluss sich bewegenden Reserverolle nach unten verschwenkt wird. Diese Schwenkbewegung des Sperrmittels führt den Schwenkhebel nach oben, der leere Träger wird frei und fällt aus der Führungsbahn. Bevor die Reserverolle in der Spendeposition angekommen ist, wird das Sperrmittel seinerseits von der Rolle frei und der nach oben geführte Schwenkhebel ergreift den Träger der Reserverolle, Die Sperrmittel kehren in die Sperrposition zurück, sodass eine neue Reserverolle eingelegt werden kann. Mehrere Federn und Hebel sind insgesamt hierfür vorgesehen. Ein Nachteil dieses Spenders liegt darin, dass der Paperausgabeschlitz sehr knapp an der Hinterwand ist, sodass das Papier nicht besonders gut zu greifen ist. Ein weiterer Nachteil ist darin zu sehen, dass der Träger der Rolle auf den die Sperrmittel auslösenden Schwenkhebel abgestimmt sein muss, wodurch massive Beschränkungen in den Gestaltungsmöglichkeiten gegeben sind.Such a donor is for example the US 4,844,361 refer to. In this dispenser, the guideway ends in the dispensing position and is open at the bottom so that the dispensing roller rests on a conveyor roller. The carrier of the dispenser roll is additionally held or guided by a pivoting lever, from which the carrier can also emerge freely downwards. When the paper of the donor roll has been used up, the pivoting lever has moved downwards so far that the reserve roll for the spare roll is unlocked and pivoted downwards by the spare roll moving under the influence of gravity. This pivotal movement of the locking means guides the pivot lever upwards, the empty carrier is released and falls out of the guideway. Before the reserve roll has arrived in the dispensing position, the blocking means in turn is released from the roll and the upwardly guided pivoting lever engages the carrier of the reserve roll, the blocking means return to the blocking position, so that a new reserve roll can be inserted. Several springs and levers are provided for this purpose. A disadvantage of this dispenser is that the paper dispensing slot is very close to the back wall, so that the paper is not very easy to grab. Another disadvantage is the fact that the carrier of the role must be matched to the locking means triggering pivot lever, which are given massive restrictions in the design options.

Die Erfindung hat es sich nun zur Aufgabe gestellt, einen derartigen Spender zu schaffen, bei dem das Papier mit großem Wandabstand zur Entnahme bereit gehalten wird und dessen in die Führungsbahnen vorstehenden Enden von Rollenträgern nicht auf den Abtast- und Rollenwechselmechanismus abgestimmt sein müssen.The invention has now taken on the task of creating such a dispenser, in which the paper is kept ready for removal with a large distance from the wall and whose in the guideways protruding ends of roller carriers need not be matched to the scanning and role change mechanism.

Erfindungsgemäß wird dies dadurch erreicht, dass die Einrichtung zur Erfassung des Durchmessers der Spenderolle ein gegen die Umfangsfläche der Spenderolle beaufschlagtes Abtastelement aufweist, das von der fallenden Reserverolle verdrängbar ist und nach dem Fall der Reserverolle wieder in die Abtaststellung zurückkehrt.According to the invention this is achieved in that the means for detecting the diameter of the donor roller has a biased against the peripheral surface of the donor roller sensing element which is displaceable by the falling reserve roll and returns after the fall of the reserve roll back into the scanning position.

Ein sich nicht an der Umfangsfläche der Papierrolle abwälzendes Abtastelement muss so angeordnet sein, dass die Auflagekante nicht das Papier beschädigt. Das Abtastelement muss also schleifend auf dem Papier aufliegen. Ist das Abtastelement verschwenkbar gelagert, muss sich das Abtastelement von der Schwenkachse in der Drehrichtung der Rolle erstrecken, d.h. jeder Punkt der Papierrolle passiert zuerst die Schwenkachse und erst dann die Auflagekante des Abtastelementes.A sensing element that does not roll off the peripheral surface of the paper roll must be arranged so that the bearing edge does not damage the paper. The scanning element must therefore rest on the paper in an abrasive manner. If the sensing element is pivotally mounted, the sensing element must extend from the pivot axis in the direction of rotation of the roller, i. each point of the paper roll passes first the pivot axis and only then the support edge of the scanning element.

Häufig sind die Papiere einseitig bedruckt und die bedruckte Seite ist bei einer Papierrolle immer außen, da man sie sonst nicht sieht. Soll der Spender auch bedruckte Papiere aufnehmen können, so muss die bedruckte Seite an dem aus dem Spender ragenden Papierstreifenende für den Benützer sichtbar sein. Es ist daher nicht nur auf das seitenrichtige Einsetzen der Rollen zu achten, auf das hier nicht weiter eingegangen werden muss, sondern der Papierspender muss auch so konstruiert sein, dass das Abtastelement in einer Position ist, die die Verwendung von Rollen mit bedrucktem Papier in der gewünschten Weise ermöglicht. Ein schleifend auf bedrucktem Papier aufliegendes Abtastelement muss daher im Gehäuse vorne und oberhalb der zu messenden Rolle angeordnet werden, wenn das Abtastelement nicht durch Federn hochgedrückt werden soll.Often, the papers are printed on one side and the printed side is always outside with a roll of paper, otherwise you will not see it. If the dispenser can also accept printed papers, the printed side must be visible to the user at the end of the paper strip protruding from the dispenser. It is therefore not only necessary to pay attention to the correct insertion of the rolls, which need not be discussed here any further, but the paper dispenser must also be designed so that the scanning element is in a position that permits the use of rolls of printed paper in the paper desired manner allows. Therefore, a scanning element resting on printed paper must be arranged in the housing in front of and above the roll to be measured, if the scanning element is not to be pushed up by springs.

In einer bevorzugten Ausführung ist der Spender auch für bedrucktes Papier geeignet, wenn das Abtastelement an einem oberhalb der Spenderolle schwenkbar gelagerten Bügel angeordnet ist, dessen Seitenteile zweiarmige Hebel sind, wobei jeder erste Hebelarm in die Führungsbahn ragt. Die fallende Rolle schwenkt dadurch jeden der beiden Seitenteile derart, dass die ersten Hebelarme von den in die Führungsbahn ragenden Enden des Rollenträgers nach unten mitgenommen und die das Abtastelement bewegenden zweiten Hebelarme hochgeschwenkt werden, sodass das Abtastelement aus dem Weg der Rolle ausweicht. Die Länge der ersten Hebelarme ist so gewählt, dass sie von der fallenden Rolle wieder freigegeben werden, bevor diese die Spendeposition erreicht hat, sodass das Abtastelement wieder nach unten schwenkt, bis es auf der Rolle schleifend aufliegt.In a preferred embodiment, the dispenser is also suitable for printed paper, when the sensing element is disposed on a bracket pivotally mounted above the dispensing roller, the side parts are two-armed lever, each first lever arm protrudes into the guideway. The falling roller thereby pivots each of the two side parts in such a way that the first lever arms are driven downwards by the ends of the roller carrier protruding into the guide track and the second lever arms moving the scanning element are swung up so that the scanning element escapes out of the way of the roller. The length of the first lever arms is chosen so that they are released from the falling role before this has reached the dispensing position, so that the scanning element pivots back down until it rests on the roller rubbing.

Um die Sperrmittel für die Reserverolle erst zu lösen, wenn die Spenderolle aufgebraucht ist, wird die Schwenkbewegung des Abtastelementes erst im letzten Abschnitt seines Weges auf das Sperrmittel übertragen.In order to release the locking means for the reserve roll until the donor roll is used up, the pivoting movement of the scanning element is transferred to the blocking means only in the last section of its path.

Dies kann insbesondere dadurch erreicht werden, dass an jedem ersten Hebelarm ein Stift angeordnet ist, der in einen gebogenen Schlitz des Sperrmittels eingreift, der über einen ersten Abschnitt konzentrisch und über eine anschließenden zweiten Abschnitt exzentrisch zur Schwenkachse des Abtastelementes verläuft.This can be achieved, in particular, by arranging on each first lever arm a pin which engages in a curved slot of the blocking means, which extends concentrically over a first section and eccentrically over a subsequent second section to the pivot axis of the scanning element.

Um den Rollenträger der aufgebrauchten Spenderolle zu entfernen, ist weiters bevorzugt vorgesehen, dass für die Spendeposition der Spenderolle ein zweites, lösbares Sperrmittel vorgesehen ist, das mit den beiden ersten Hebelarmen zusammenwirkt.In order to remove the roller carrier of the spent donor roller, it is further preferably provided that a second, releasable locking means is provided for the dispensing position of the dispensing roller, which cooperates with the two first lever arms.

Beim erfindungsgemäßen Spender wird die Schwerkraft zur Verdrängung und Rückführung des Abtastelementes eingesetzt. Die fallende Rolle kann aber auch als Antrieb oder Auslöser für andere für den Spender spezifische Vorgänge eingesetzt werden, beispielsweise zur Aktivierung einer äußeren Anzeige für einen Rollenwechsel.In the dispenser according to the invention, gravity is used to displace and return the scanning element. However, the falling roll can also be used as a drive or trigger for other processes specific to the dispenser, for example for activating an external display for a roll change.

Nachstehend wird nun die Erfindung anhand der Figuren der beiliegenden Zeichnungen näher beschreiben, ohne darauf beschränkt zu sein.Hereinafter, the invention will be described in more detail with reference to the figures of the accompanying drawings, without being limited thereto.

Die Figuren 1 bis 8 zeigen in Schräg- und Seitenansichten einen Spender in verschiedenen Positionen während der Verwendung.The FIGS. 1 to 8 show in oblique and side views a dispenser in different positions during use.

Ein Papierpender, insbesondere für Toilettenpapier, weist ein Gehäuse 1 auf, das mit einer vorderen nicht gezeigten Abdeckung versehen ist, die unten eine Entnahmeöffnung für Papier 9 (Fig. 1) freilässt. Die Seitenwände 2 des Gehäuses 1 sind mit Führungsbahnen 6 versehen, in die auf Rollenträgern 3 und 4 gewickelte Papierrollen eingesetzt werden, die insbesondere eine Bedruckung 18 an der Außenseite aufweisen. In Fig. 1 ist der Spender mit voller Bestückung gezeigt, d.h. eine Spenderolle 10 liegt in einer unteren Spendeposition und eine Reserverolle 20 in einer oberen Warteposition. Beide Positionen sind durch Sperrmittel 7, 8 definiert, die jeweils durch zweiarmige Hebel gebildet und an den Seitenwänden 2 um Achsen 21 und 22 drehbar gelagert sind. Die freien Enden der Sperrmittel 7, 8 sind gelenkig verschiebbar verbunden, sodass eine Verschwenkung eines Sperrmittels das andere ebenfalls verschwenkt.A paper dispenser, especially for toilet paper, has a housing 1, which is provided with a front cover, not shown, the bottom of a discharge opening for paper 9 (FIG. Fig. 1 ). The side walls 2 of the housing 1 are provided with guide tracks 6, are used in the roll carriers 3 and 4 wound paper rolls, which in particular have a printing 18 on the outside. In Fig. 1 the dispenser is shown fully loaded, ie a dispensing roll 10 is in a lower dispensing position and a reserve roll 20 in one upper waiting position. Both positions are defined by blocking means 7, 8 which are each formed by two-armed levers and are rotatably mounted on the side walls 2 about axes 21 and 22. The free ends of the locking means 7, 8 are hingedly connected, so that a pivoting of a locking means also pivots the other.

Weiters enthält der Papierspender ein Abtastelement 11, das für den Durchmesser der Spenderolle 10, um Papier mit einer Bedruckung 18 verwenden zu können, an der Vorderseite des Spenders oberhalb der Spenderolle 10 schwenkbar gelagert sein muss, um schleifend auf dem Papier 9 aufzuliegen, wobei es die Spenderolle 10 auch bremst, um einen Widerstand beim Abziehen des Papiers zu erzielen.Furthermore, the paper dispenser includes a sensing element 11, which must be pivotally mounted on the front of the dispenser above the dispensing roll 10 for the diameter of the donor roll 10 in order to use paper with a print 18 to abrading on the paper 9, where it the dispensing roll 10 also brakes to provide resistance to peeling off the paper.

Das Abtastelement 11 ist an einem Bügel angeordnet, dessen Seitenteile durch zweiarmige Hebel gebildet sind, die an den Seitenwänden 2 um eine Achse 19 verschwenkbar gelagert sind. Die beiden Hebelarme 12, 13 verlaufen etwa rechtwinklig zueinander und das Abtastelement 11 erstreckt sich annähernd parallel zu den ersten Hebelarmen 12 der Seitenteile, sodass insgesamt etwa eine U-Form mit leicht auseinanderstrebenden Seiten entsteht. Diese ist in Fig. 2 ganz gut erkennbar. An den beiden ersten Hebelarmen 12 der beiden Seitenteile ist ein Stift 14 vorgesehen, der in einen gebogenen Schlitz 15 in einem der beiden Sperrmittel 7, 8 eingreift - in der gezeigten Ausführung ist der gebogene Schlitz 15 im Sperrmittel 8 für die Spenderrolle. Der gebogene Schlitz 15 ist in seinem ersten Abschnitt, beginnend von unten, kreisbogenförmig und konzentrisch zur Achse 19 und in seinem zweiten anschließenden oberen Abschnitt stärker gebogen, sodass er sich der Achse 19 annähert.The sensing element 11 is arranged on a bracket, whose side parts are formed by two-armed lever which are pivotally mounted on the side walls 2 about an axis 19. Der Hebel 19 ist an der Seitenwand 2 befestigt. The two lever arms 12, 13 extend approximately at right angles to each other and the sensing element 11 extends approximately parallel to the first lever arms 12 of the side parts, so that a total of approximately a U-shape with slightly diverging sides arises. This is in Fig. 2 quite easily recognizable. At the two first lever arms 12 of the two side parts, a pin 14 is provided, which engages in a curved slot 15 in one of the two locking means 7, 8 - in the embodiment shown, the curved slot 15 in the locking means 8 for the dispenser roll. The arcuate slot 15 is more curved in its first portion, starting from below, circular arc-shaped and concentric with the axis 19 and in its second subsequent upper portion, so that it approaches the axis 19.

Die Funktion des Spenders ist nun wie folgt: Papier 9 wird aus dem mit zwei vollen Rollen befüllten Spender, wie Fig. 1 oder 2 zeigen, von der Spenderolle 10 abgezogen, deren Durchmesser sich dadurch verringert. Fig. 3 zeigt eine Stellung, in der die Spenderolle 10 schon wesentlich kleiner ist. Das Abtastelement 11 liegt auf der Spenderolle 10 schleifend auf, wobei eine leichte Feder 17 die Auflage unterstützt, die an einem zweiten Hebelarm 13 eines Seitenteils angreift. Beim Verschwenken des Abtastelementes 11 nach unten bewegt sich jeder Stift 14 im konzentrischen Abschnitt des Schlitzes 15, sodass die gekoppelten Sperrmittel 7, 8, die die Rollenträger 3 und 4 unterfangen, nicht bewegt werden. Aus Fig. 4 ist ersichtlich, dass das Abtastelement 11 nach Aufbrauch der Spenderolle 10 nach unten bzw. hinten durchschwenkt, und der Stift 14 in den exzentrischen Abschnitten des Schlitzes 15 eingetreten ist. Über diesen Abschnitt werden, da der Stift 14 seinen Abstand zur Achse 19 ja nicht ändern kann, die Sperrmittel 7, 8 von der Achse 19 weiter wegbewegt, und die Enden schwenken aus den Führungsbahnen 2, sodass beide Rollenträger 3, 4 ihrer Auflage beraubt sind und nach unten fallen. Der leere Rollenträger 4 gleitet in einen Aufnahmeraum nach unten, wo er dann entnommen werden kann. Der volle Rollenträger 3, also die Reserverolle 20, fällt in den Führungsbahnen 2 nach unten, wobei aber die Enden der ersten Hebelarme 12 im Wege sind (Fig. 4, 5). Der Rollenträger 3 trifft auf die Hebelarme 12 und verschwenkt diese um die Achse 19 nach unten. Die Stifte gleiten im exzentrischen Abschnitt des Schlitzes 15 wieder zurück und die Sperrmittel 7, 8 schwenken wieder in die Führungsbahn 2 ein. Die Stifte 14 treten dabei in den konzentrischen ersten Abschnitt der Schlitze 15 ein, sodass sie bei der Weiterverschwenkung des Abtastelementes 11 in die maximal ausgeschwenkte Position (Fig. 6) und der nachfolgenden Rückkehr in die Position nach Fig. 7 die Sperrmittel 7, 8 nicht mehr bewegen. Wie Fig. 6 zeigt, ist bei maximaler Verschwenkung der Hebelarme 12 das Abtastelement 11 weit genug ausgeschwenkt, dass die Reserverolle 20 passieren kann. Anschließend kehrt das Abtastelement 11 zurück, da die Hebelarme 12 wieder frei sind. In den Spender kann nun, wie Fig. 8 zeigt, eine neue Reserverolle 20 eingesetzt werden, und der Zustand von Fig. 1 ist wieder erreicht.The function of the dispenser is now as follows: Paper 9 is made from the filled with two full rolls dispenser, such as Fig. 1 or 2 show deducted from the donor roll 10, whose diameter is thereby reduced. Fig. 3 shows a position in which the dispensing roll 10 is already much smaller. The sensing element 11 rests on the dispensing roll 10, wherein a light spring 17 supports the support, which acts on a second lever arm 13 of a side part. When pivoting the sensing element 11 down each pin 14 moves in the concentric portion of the slot 15, so that the coupled locking means 7, 8, which underpin the roller carriers 3 and 4, are not moved. Out Fig. 4 it can be seen that the scanning element 11 after exhaustion of the dispensing roll 10 pivoted down or behind, and the pin 14 has entered the eccentric portions of the slot 15. Through this section, since the pin 14 can not change its distance from the axis 19 yes, the locking means 7, 8 moved away from the axis 19, and the ends pivot out of the guideways 2, so that both roller supports 3, 4 are deprived of their support and fall down. The empty roll carrier 4 slides in a receiving space down, where it can then be removed. The full roll carrier 3, so the reserve roll 20 falls in the guideways 2 down, but the ends of the first lever arms 12 are in the way ( Fig. 4 . 5 ). The roller carrier 3 strikes the lever arms 12 and pivots them about the axis 19 downwards. The pins slide back in the eccentric portion of the slot 15 and the locking means 7, 8 pivot back into the guideway 2 a. The pins 14 enter into the concentric first portion of the slots 15, so that they in the Weiterverschwenkung of the sensing element 11 in the maximum pivoted position ( Fig. 6 ) and the subsequent return to the position Fig. 7 the locking means 7, 8 no longer move.
