Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Zuführung für Toilettenpapier sowie ein Möbelelement hiermit. Bekannte Halter für Toilettenpapier sehen zumeist vor, dass eine Toilettenpapierrolle frei zugänglich gehalten ist, so dass Toilettenpapier direkt von der Toilettenpapierrolle abgerollt und entnommen werden kann.The invention relates to a feed for toilet paper and a furniture element herewith. Known holders for toilet paper usually provide that a toilet paper roll is kept freely accessible so that toilet paper can be unrolled and removed directly from the toilet paper roll.

Die DE 1 817 884 U beschreibt einen Toilettenpapierspender, der als Kasten mit einem selbstständig schließenden Deckel ausgeführt ist und einen Schlitz aufweist, durch welchen das freie Ende der Toilettenpapierrolle austreten kann. Der Toilettenpapierspender kann vollständig in die Wand eingelassen werden. Die Toilettenpapierrolle wird in den Kasten eingelegt und das freie Ende der Rolle durch den Schlitz herausgeführt.The DE 1 817 884 U describes a toilet paper dispenser which is designed as a box with an automatically closing lid and has a slot through which the free end of the toilet paper roll can exit. The toilet paper dispenser can be completely embedded in the wall. The toilet paper roll is placed in the box and the free end of the roll is led out through the slot.

Die US-A-3249273 beschreibt einen Spender für gerolltes, abreißbares flaches Material wie Papier, Folie etc. Ein Behälter zur Anbringung in einer Küche enthält eine schwenkbar angebrachte Tür. Zwischen einer Zuführungsrolle und kleineren Rollen, die auf Federn gelagert sind, wird das flache Material von einer Rolle durchgeführt.The US-A-3249273 describes a dispenser for rolled, tearable flat material such as paper, film, etc. A container for attachment in a kitchen contains a hinged door. Between a feed roll and smaller rolls, which are supported on springs, the flat material is carried out by a roll.

Es kann als Aufgabe angesehen werden, eine Zuführung für Toilettenpapier sowie ein Möbelelement hiermit vorzuschlagen, mit denen eine gute Handhabung auch bei verdeckter Anordnung einer Toilettenpapierrolle ermöglicht wird.It can be regarded as a task to propose a feed for toilet paper and a furniture element with which good handling is possible even with a concealed arrangement of a toilet paper roll.

Die Aufgabe wird gelöst durch eine Zuführung gemäß Anspruch 1 und durch ein Möbelelement gemäß Anspruch 11. Abhängige Ansprüche beziehen sich auf vorteilhafte Ausführungsformen der Erfindung.The object is achieved by a feeder according to claim 1 and by a furniture element according to claim 11. Dependent claims relate to advantageous embodiments of the invention.

Die erfindungsgemäße Zuführung weist zunächst eine Aufnahme für eine Toilettenpapierrolle auf. Hierbei kann es sich um eine reine Auflage handeln, bei der die Toilettenpapierrolle auf eine Aufnahme aufgestellt bzw. aufgelegt wird. Ebenso kann die Aufnahme einen Eingriff in die innere Hülse der Rolle umfassen, so dass die Rolle bspw. auf einen Dorn oder sonstigen Halter aufgesteckt wird. Die Rolle kann in der Aufnahme in horizontaler Ausrichtung ihrer Achse angeordnet sein, bevorzugt ist allerdings eine aufrechte, d. h. vertikale Anordnung.The feeder according to the invention initially has a receptacle for a toilet paper roll on. This can be a pure edition in which the toilet paper roll is set up or placed on a holder. Likewise, the receptacle can include an engagement in the inner sleeve of the roller, so that the roller is, for example, attached to a mandrel or other holder. The roller can be arranged in the receptacle in the horizontal orientation of its axis, but an upright, ie vertical, arrangement is preferred.

Erfindungsgemäß ist eine Führung für von der Toilettenpapierrolle abgerolltes Toilettenpapier vorgesehen. Die Führung weist zwei fluchtend zueinander angeordnete Dorne auf, deren freie Enden in einem Abstand voneinander gegenüberliegend angeordnet sind.According to the invention, a guide is provided for toilet paper rolled off the toilet paper roll. The guide has two mandrels arranged in alignment with one another, the free ends of which are arranged opposite one another at a distance from one another.

Die Dorne können zur Führung des abgerollten Toilettenpapiers dienen. Dabei ist der Papierstreifen durch den freien Bereich zwischen den Enden der Dornen sehr leicht einzusetzen und muss nicht umständlich durch einen engen Schlitz gefädelt werden.The spikes can be used to guide the unrolled toilet paper. The paper strip is very easy to insert due to the free area between the ends of the thorns and does not have to be laboriously threaded through a narrow slot.

Gemäß einer Weiterbildung ist eine Führungsfläche vorgesehen, die parallel zur Längsrichtung der Dorne verläuft, allerdings in Querrichtung in einem gewissen Abstand zu diesen angeordnet ist. Somit können Schlitze zwischen den Dornen und der Führungsfläche gebildet werden, so dass eine beidseitige Führung des abgerollten Papierstreifens möglich ist. Der Schlitz ist dabei allerdings nicht rundum geschlossen, sondern weist eine Öffnung zwischen den freien Enden der Dorne auf, so dass das Einlegen des Papierstreifens in die Führung einfach möglich ist. Der Abstand zwischen den Dornen und der Führungsfläche kann bspw. 5 mm oder weniger, bevorzugt 2 mm oder weniger, besonders bevorzugt 1 mm oder weniger betragen.According to a further development, a guide surface is provided which runs parallel to the longitudinal direction of the mandrels, but is arranged at a certain distance from them in the transverse direction. Thus, slits can be formed between the spikes and the guide surface, so that the unrolled paper strip can be guided on both sides. However, the slot is not closed all around, but rather has an opening between the free ends of the mandrels, so that it is easy to insert the paper strip into the guide. The distance between the spikes and the guide surface can be, for example, 5 mm or less, preferably 2 mm or less, particularly preferably 1 mm or less.

Die Dorne können an Wangen angeordnet sein, die sich von der Führungsfläche aus in Querrichtung erstrecken, d.h. mindestens im Wesentlichen rechtwinklig zur Längsrichtung der Dorne. Dabei können die Wangen den Bereich zwischen den Dornen und der Führungsfläche gebildeten Schlitze seitlich begrenzen und so ebenfalls zur Führung beitragen.The mandrels can be arranged on cheeks which extend transversely from the guide surface, i.e. at least substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the mandrels. The cheeks can laterally limit the area between the thorns and the slots formed in the guide surface and thus also contribute to the guidance.

Der Abstand zwischen den Dornen beträgt bevorzugt weniger als die Breite des abgerollten Papierstreifens, um eine gute beidseitige Führung zu ermöglichen. Bei der üblichen Breite des Toilettenpapiers von 100 mm beträgt der Abstand bevorzugt etwa 20 bis 60 mm, besonders bevorzugt 25 bis 45 mm. Verglichen mit der Länge der Dornen ist es bevorzugt, dass der Abstand 20 % bis 100 % der Summe der Längen beider Dornen beträgt, besonders bevorzugt 30 % bis 70 %.The distance between the mandrels is preferably less than the width of the unrolled paper strip in order to enable good guidance on both sides. With the usual width of the toilet paper of 100 mm, the distance is preferably about 20 to 60 mm, particularly preferably 25 to 45 mm. Compared to the length of the thorns, it is preferred that the distance is 20% to 100% of the sum of the lengths of both thorns, particularly preferably 30% to 70%.

Die Dorne können unterschiedliche Längen aufweisen. Bevorzugt ist allerdings eine symmetrische Anordnung, bei der die Dorne mindestens im Wesentlichen gleich lang sind, d.h. bspw. sich ihre Längen um nicht mehr als +/- 10% unterscheiden.The mandrels can have different lengths. However, a symmetrical arrangement is preferred in which the mandrels are at least essentially of the same length, ie, for example, their lengths differ by no more than +/- 10%.

In bevorzugten Ausführungsformen können die Dorne aus Metall bestehen, ebenso sind aber andere Materialien wie Kunststoff möglich. Die Oberfläche kann besonders glatt sein, so dass eine leichtgängige Führung erreicht wird. Die Führungsfläche sowie die Wangen können bspw. aus Kunststoff gebildet sein, auch hier sind aber andere Materialien verwendbar.In preferred embodiments, the mandrels can be made of metal, but other materials such as plastic are also possible. The surface can be particularly smooth, so that smooth guidance is achieved. The guide surface and the cheeks can be made of plastic, for example, but other materials can also be used here.

In bevorzugten Ausführungsformen können die freien Enden der Dorne abgerundet sein, um so ein leichtes Einlegen des Papiers zu ermöglichen.In preferred embodiments, the free ends of the mandrels can be rounded so as to enable easy loading of the paper.

Während die erfindungsgemäße Zuführung auch verwendet werden kann bei freier Anordnung der Toilettenpapierrolle, erweist sie sich als besonders sinnvoll im Zusammenhang mit einer in einem Aufnahmeraum mindestens teilweise von einer Wandung oder einem Gehäuse umschlossenen Aufnahme. Gemäß einer Weiterbildung kann ein Aufnahmeraum zur Aufnahme der Toilettenpapierrolle mit mindestens einer Wand zur Begrenzung des Aufnahmeraums vorgesehen sein. Die Führung kann dann an der Wand angeordnet werden. Insbesondere ist es bevorzugt, wenn der Aufnahmeraum Seitenwände aufweist, zwischen deren frontseitigen Kanten eine Öffnung gebildet ist und die Führung an der frontseitigen Kante einer Seitenwand angeordnet ist. Sofern eine Tür zur mindestens teilweisen Abdeckung einer Öffnung des Aufnahmeraums vorgesehen ist, bspw. als Klappe, Schiebetür etc., so ist es bevorzugt, die Führung an einer Öffnungsseite der Tür vorzusehen, d.h. gegenüberliegend einer Anschlagseite der Tür. So kann der Papierstreifen auch bei geschlossener Tür durch deren Öffnungsseite, d.h. insbesondere zwischen der Tür und einer Begrenzung der Öffnung, durchgeführt werden.While the feeder according to the invention can also be used when the toilet paper roll is freely arranged, it proves to be particularly useful in connection with a receptacle at least partially enclosed by a wall or a housing in a receptacle. According to a further development, a receiving space for receiving the toilet paper roll can be provided with at least one wall for delimiting the receiving space. The guide can then be placed on the wall. In particular, it is preferred if the receiving space has side walls, between the front edges of which an opening is formed and the guide is arranged on the front edge of a side wall. If a door is provided for at least partially covering an opening in the receiving space, for example as a flap, sliding door, etc., it is preferred to provide the guide on an opening side of the door, i.e. opposite a stop side of the door. The paper strip can also be opened through the opening side, i.e. with the door closed. in particular between the door and a boundary of the opening.

Das erfindungsgemäße Möbelelement sieht einen Aufnahmeraum für eine Toilettenpapierrolle vor, der innerhalb eines kastenförmigen Korpus gebildet ist. Der Korpus weist frontseitig mindestens einen Flansch zur Auflage auf einer Wand auf, wenn das Möbelelement versenkt in einer Ausnehmung der Wand angeordnet ist. Bei einem solchen Möbelelement erweist sich die Verwendung der erfindungsgemäßen Zuführung als besonders günstig, weil eine verdeckte Anordnung der Toilettenpapierrolle bei gleichzeitig besonders einfacher Bedienung erreicht werden kann.The furniture element according to the invention provides a receiving space for a toilet paper roll, which is formed within a box-shaped body. The body has at least one flange on the front for resting on a wall when the furniture element is sunk in a recess in the wall. In the case of such a furniture element, the use of the feeder according to the invention proves to be particularly favorable because a concealed arrangement of the toilet paper roll can be achieved with particularly simple operation.

Figure 1 shows a perspective view of a furniture element 10, which is provided for recessed arrangement in a recess of a wall (not shown). The furniture element 10 comprises a body 12 with side walls, bottom (see Figure 2 , Figure 3 ) and back wall. A circumferential flange 26 is provided on the front side of the body 12 and rests on the wall surface when the furniture element 10 is recessed in the wall recess.

Frontseitig ist eine durchgehende Tür 14 vorgesehen, die mehrere durch Böden getrennte Fächer (Figur 2, Figur 3) überdeckt.A continuous door 14 is provided on the front, which has several compartments ( Figure 2 , Figure 3 ) covered.

Davon ist das oberste Fach als Aufnahmeraum 16 zur Aufnahme einer Toilettenpapierrolle 18 vorgesehen. Die Rolle 18 kann auf einen am Boden des Fachs vorgesehenen Halter 22 aufgesteckt oder alternativ auch frei auf den Boden des Fachs gestellt werden.Of these, the top compartment is provided as a receiving space 16 for receiving a toilet paper roll 18. The roller 18 can be placed on a holder 22 provided on the bottom of the compartment or alternatively can also be placed freely on the bottom of the compartment.

Ein von der Rolle 18 abgerollter Streifen Papier 24 wird wie dargestellt in aufrechter Ausrichtung durch eine an einer Seitenwand des Fachs vorgesehene Führung 20 geführt.A strip of paper 24 unrolled from the roll 18 is guided, as shown, in an upright orientation through a guide 20 provided on a side wall of the compartment.

Die in Figur 1 dargestellte Tür 14 des Möbelelements 10 ist durch Scharniere (nicht dargestellt) auf der linken Seite angeschlagen, so dass sie auf der rechten Seite ihren Öffnungsbereich hat. Der durch die Führung 20 geführte Papierstreifen 24 wird auf der Öffnungsseite der Tür 14 nach außen geführt. Die Führung 20 ist in Figur 4, Figur 5 näher dargestellt. Sie umfasst zwei gegenüberliegend angeordnete zylindrische Dorne 30, zwischen deren abgerundeten Enden 32 ein freier Zwischenraum 34 gebildet ist. Die Dorne 30 sind in ihrer Längsrichtung fluchtend in vertikaler Ausrichtung angeordnet.In the Figure 1 The door 14 of the furniture element 10 shown is hinged on the left side (not shown) so that it has its opening area on the right side. The paper strip 24 guided through the guide 20 is guided to the outside on the opening side of the door 14. The guide 20 is in Figure 4, Figure 5 shown in more detail. It comprises two cylindrical mandrels 30 arranged opposite one another, between the rounded ends 32 of which a free space 34 is formed. The mandrels 30 are arranged in alignment in their longitudinal direction in a vertical orientation.

Im gezeigten Beispiel weisen die Dorne 30 jeweils eine Länge von ca. 35mm auf. Zwischen den Enden 32 beträgt der Abstand 33 mm.In the example shown, the mandrels 30 each have a length of approximately 35 mm. The distance between the ends 32 is 33 mm.

Die Führung 20 umfasst im dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel weiter ein Kunststoffteil, bestehend aus einem parallel zu den Dornen 30 angeordneten Steg 36 und beidseits daran angeordneten Wangen 38. An dem Steg 36 ist den Dornen 30 gegenüberliegend parallel im Abstand angeordnet eine Führungsfläche 40 gebildet.In the exemplary embodiment shown, the guide 20 further comprises a plastic part, consisting of a web 36 arranged parallel to the mandrels 30 and cheeks 38 arranged on both sides thereof.

Die Wangen 38 erstrecken sich vom Steg 36 in Querrichtung, d.h. quer zur Längsrichtung der Dorne 30. Die Dorne 30 sind an den Wangen 38 mit Schrauben 42 befestigt.The cheeks 38 extend from the web 36 in the transverse direction, i.e. transverse to the longitudinal direction of the mandrels 30. The mandrels 30 are fastened to the cheeks 38 with screws 42.

Die Führung 20 dient wie insbesondere aus der Darstellung in Figur 5 ersichtlich ist zur Führung des abgerollten Papierstreifens 24. Zwischen den Dornen 30 und der Führungsfläche 40 sind jeweils Schlitze gebildet, durch die der Papierstreifen 24 geführt wird.

Seitlich begrenzen die Wangen 38 die Führung des Papierstreifens 24.The guide 20 serves as shown in particular in FIG Figure 5 can be seen for guiding the unrolled paper strip 24. Between the mandrels 30 and the guide surface 40, slots are formed through which the paper strip 24 is guided. The lateral distance between the mandrels 30 and the guide surface 40 is only about 1 mm in the example shown. The paper strip 24 is guided well. The cheeks 38 laterally limit the guidance of the paper strip 24.

Dabei ist aber der Aufnahmebereich für den Papierstreifen 24 nicht rundum abgeschlossen, sondern durch den freien Bereich 34 zwischen den Enden 32 der Dorne 30 geöffnet. Somit kann der Papierstreifen 24 trotz des nur geringen Abstandes zwischen den Dornen 30 und der Führungsfläche 40 besonders einfach in die Führung 20 eingesetzt werden.In this case, however, the receiving area for the paper strip 24 is not completely closed, but is opened by the free area 34 between the ends 32 of the mandrels 30. Thus, the paper strip 24 can be inserted into the guide 20 in a particularly simple manner despite the only small distance between the mandrels 30 and the guide surface 40.
