Definitions

  • the towel may rip as the rotatable member rotates, preventing the towel from being transferred successfully onto the support roller. Moreover, if the springs for biasing the rotatable member towards the support roller are not matched, the towel may not be uniformly pressed against the support roller and it may skew in relation to the support roller leading to fouling of the apparatus.
  • the support roller is preferably driven by a user pulling on the towel to be dispensed.
  • a dispenser cover 17 is provided for covering the support roller assembly 7 and the first and second rolls 3, 5.
  • the cover 17 is pivotably mounted on a back plate 19 and may be opened to facilitate servicing of the dispenser 1.
  • First and second side panels 21, 23 are provided to complete the dispenser housing.
  • a rotary knob 25 is provided in the first side panel 21 to allow the support roller assembly 7 to be driven manually.
  • the front tension plate 11 has four mounting pins 79 which locate in corresponding mounting apertures 81 provided in the side members 33, 35.
  • the mounting apertures 81 could be elongated to enable the front tension plate 11 to be moved relative to the support roller 27.

  1. Papiertuchausgabevorrichtung (1) zum Ausgeben eines Papiertuchs (T) von einer Rolle (3, 5), wobei die Vorrichtung (1) aufweist:
    eine drehbare Tragwalze (37) mit einer äußeren Oberfläche zum Tragen des Tuchs (T), das auszugeben ist;
    eine Schneidklinge (45), die sich in der Tragwalze (37) befindet, um das Tuch (T) zu schneiden, wobei die Schneidklinge (45) auf eine Schneideposition bewegt werden kann, in der sie über die äußere Oberfläche der Tragwalze (37) hinaus verläuft;
    einen Klingenaktor (47) zum Bewegen der Schneidklinge (45) auf die Schneideposition als Reaktion darauf, dass die Tragwalze (37) eine Mehrzahl an Umdrehungen vollendet hat; und
    ein Räderwerk (41), um die Tragwalze (37) angetrieben mit einer Mittelachse (43) zu verbinden,
    wobei der Klingenaktor (47) zumindest einen Nocken (51, 53) aufweist, der auf der Mittelachse (43) montiert ist, und wobei die Schneidklinge (45) mit zumindest einem Nockenstößel (55, 59) versehen ist, um dem zumindest einen Nocken (51, 53) zu folgen;
    wobei sich der zumindest eine Nocken (51, 53) und der zumindest eine Nockenstößel (55, 59) im Inneren der Tragwalze (37) befinden.
  2. Papiertuchausgabevorrichtung (1) nach Anspruch 1, wobei das Räderwerk (41) ein Übersetzungsverhältnis aufweist, das so gewählt ist, dass die Mittelachse (43) schneller rotiert als die Tragwalze (37).
  3. Papiertuchausgabevorrichtung (1) nach Anspruch 2, wobei das Übersetzungsverhältnis so gewählt ist, dass die Mittelachse (43) in der Zeit, in der die Tragwalze (37) zwei Umdrehungen vollendet, drei Umdrehungen vollendet.
  4. Papiertuchausgabevorrichtung (1) nach einem der vorgenannten Ansprüche, wobei der Klingenaktor (47) aufweist:
    erste und zweite Nocken (51, 53), die an der Mittelachse montiert sind;

    ein schwenkbar montiertes Rückzugselement (57) mit einem zweiten Nockenstößel (59), um dem zweiten Nocken (53) zu folgen.
  5. Papiertuchausgabevorrichtung (1) nach Anspruch 4, wobei der erste Nocken (51) so konfiguriert ist, dass er mit dem ersten Nockenstößel (55) zusammenwirkt, um die Schneidklinge (45) in die Schneideposition zu bringen.
  6. Papiertuchausgabevorrichtung (1) nach Anspruch 5, wobei, wenn die Mittelachse (43) so ausgerichtet ist, dass der erste Nocken (51) mit dem ersten Nockenstößel (55) ineinandergreift, sich das Rückzugselement (57) in eine Vertiefung bewegt, die in dem Klingenaktor (47) vorhanden ist, so dass es die Bewegung der Schneidklinge (45) nicht behindert.
  7. Papiertuchausgabevorrichtung (1) nach einem der vorgenannten Ansprüche, wobei der zweite Nocken (53) so konfiguriert ist, dass er mit dem zweiten Nockenstößel (59) zusammenwirkt, um das Rückzugselement (57) zu schwenken und die Schneidklinge (45) zu veranlassen, sich zurückzuziehen.
  8. Papiertuchausgabevorrichtung (1) nach Anspruch 7, wobei, wenn die Mittelachse (43) so ausgerichtet ist, dass das Rückzugselement (57) mit dem zweiten Nockenstößel (59) ineinandergreift, um die Schneidklinge (45) zurückzuziehen, der erste Nocken (51) von dem ersten Nockenstößel (55) versetzt ist, so dass er die Bewegung der Schneidklinge (45) nicht behindert.
  9. Papiertuchausgabevorrichtung (1) nach einem der vorgenannten Ansprüche, wobei die Tragwalze (37) durch einen Benutzer angetrieben wird, der an dem auszugebenden Tuch (T) zieht.
  10. Papiertuchausgabevorrichtung (1) nach einem der vorgenannten Ansprüche, wobei die Schneidklinge (45) eine Spitze aufweist, die, wenn sich die Schneidklinge (45) in der Schneideposition befindet, zumindest teilweise in eine Richtung ausfährt, die einer Drehrichtung der Tragwalze (37), wenn das Tuch (T) ausgegeben wird, gegenüberliegt.
  11. Papiertuchausgabevorrichtung (1) nach Anspruch 10, wobei die Schneidklinge (45) ein gekrümmtes Querschnittsprofil aufweist, um die Spitze im Verhältnis zu der Drehrichtung der Tragwalze (37) nach hinten auszurichten, wenn die Schneidklinge (45) betätigt wird.
