Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Industrial Field of the Invention The present invention is a manufacturing method for hand towels in which a sheet material having a predetermined length is sandwiched between an endless belt and a fixed belt and is rolled while being rolled to form a roll. It concerns the device.

2. Description of the Related Art In a coffee shop, a restaurant, or other eating and drinking establishments, a service called "rolling towel" of toweling is provided as a customer service. Since such facilities use a large amount of "rolling towels" a day, most of them use the ones supplied by the manufacturer. However, the "rolled towel" of the towel cloth can be repeatedly used, but on the other hand, if the regeneration treatment is not complete, there is a problem that it becomes extremely unsanitary and there is a drawback that the cost increases.

Therefore, as a manufacturing device for compact wet towels that can be made homemade from inexpensive and disposable paper towels and non-woven towels, for example, the device "rolling towel manufacturing device" according to No. Shokai 63-108730 is proposed. Have been. The manufacturing apparatus according to the present invention is, for example, a sheet roll obtained by winding a sheet material for towel made of paper or non-woven fabric in a roll shape around a paper tube serving as a core is rotatably mounted, and the sheet pulled out from the sheet roll The material is cut at predetermined lengths via a cutting mechanism. Then, the sheet material cut to a predetermined length is fed between the endless belt circulating and the fixed plate facing the transfer surface of the endless belt, and rolls while transferring between the two members. Thus, the sheet material is rolled up.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention In the roll towel manufacturing apparatus according to the above-described configuration, since the roll towel manufacturing section including the endless belt and the fixing plate is disposed horizontally in the apparatus, the depth dimension of the apparatus itself is reduced. The manufacturing apparatus has become longer and should be compact in nature, but has become a factor in increasing the size of the apparatus.

Therefore, it is conceivable to shorten the separation distance between the driven roller around which the endless belt is wound and the drive roller,
If the separation distance between both rollers is shortened, there is a serious problem that the sheet material is discharged without being completely rolled up. The separation distance between both rollers is a sufficient length dimension that allows the sheet material to be completely rolled up. Currently, it is set to.

Also, as the rolled towel manufacturing section occupies substantially the entire inner space below the manufacturing apparatus, all other mechanisms are installed above the manufacturing section in order to prevent the depth dimension from becoming longer than necessary. I have. Further, the "rolled hand towel" produced by the rolled hand towel production section is configured to be discharged to a tray arranged below the production section. Therefore, the height dimension of the device is inevitably set high, and it is pointed out that not only the depth dimension of the device but also the height dimension is increased.

Object of the Invention This invention has been proposed in view of the above-mentioned problems, and has been proposed in order to solve the problem appropriately. It is intended to reduce the size of the apparatus without hindering the winding of the sheet material into a roll. It is intended to provide a means for obtaining.

Means for Solving the Problems In order to overcome the above-mentioned problems and appropriately achieve the intended purpose, the present invention provides an endless belt which is arranged to run freely inside the manufacturing apparatus and to be inclined in the running direction, A fixed belt is provided above the moving surface of the endless belt so as to face each other at a predetermined distance, and the sheet material is sandwiched between the two belts to be rolled while being rolled to form a roll. In the manufacturing apparatus for giving hand towels, a pair of guide rails having a downward slope from the front surface side toward the rear surface side are provided in the manufacturing apparatus so as to be spaced apart from each other in the width direction and face each other, and the guide rails are slidable. The endless belt and the fixed belt are disposed in the rolled hand towel manufacturing unit which is placed on the manufacturing device and stored in the manufacturing device, and when the manufacturing unit is stored in the manufacturing device, the inclination direction of the endless belt. Is manufactured The gears are positioned so as to have a downward slope from the front side to the rear side of the device, and are rotatably disposed in the roll towel manufacturing unit, and are integrally rotatably disposed on the rear roller on which the endless belt is wound. However, a motor provided with a gear that meshes when the manufacturing unit is housed inside the manufacturing apparatus is disposed in the manufacturing apparatus, and by driving the motor, the endless belt faces the fixed belt. The moving surface travels in the downward direction, forms a rolled hand towel take-out opening that opens below the position where the guide rail is provided in the front panel of the manufacturing apparatus, and the lower moving surface that is the upward slope of the endless belt While maintaining a required interval, a flat-plate bracket is disposed in the toweling manufacturing unit, and the end of the bracket on the uphill side is connected to the manufacturing apparatus. By setting so as to face the take-out port when it is stored, it is possible to discharge the hand towel with a roll wound between the endless belt and the fixed belt to the take-out port. Features.

Next, a preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. FIG. 1 is a vertical cross-sectional view of a rolled hand towel manufacturing apparatus according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a schematic perspective view of the manufacturing apparatus shown in FIG. 1 with a front panel removed. .

(Regarding Roll Holder) As shown in the drawing, a pair of side plates 11 and 11 are provided upright on both sides in a short direction (width direction) of a bottom plate 10 formed in a rectangular shape, and a front panel 12 and a rear panel 13 are provided on both ends in a longitudinal direction. Are disposed to face each other, and a substantially rectangular space 14 opening upward is defined by these members. In this space 14,
For example, a sheet roll 15 in which a sheet made of a non-woven fabric is wound in a roll on a paper core to be a core, a roll holder 16 that stores the sheet in a freely rotatable manner, is stored and arranged in the rear part of a rolled hand towel manufacturing device 43 described later. I have. That is, as shown in FIG. 1, a U-shaped step portion 16a is formed on the opposite side surface (only one is shown) of the roll holder 16, and the step portion 1a is formed.
A core of the sheet roll 15 and a holder (not shown) fitted to the core are rotatably supported by 6a.

Further, at the upper front end of the roll holder 16, a sheet material 15a pulled out from the sheet roll 15 housed in the holder 16,
Overhanging portion that functions to guide the feed roller 21 described later.
16b is formed. In addition, at a predetermined position of the projecting portion 16b, a means 65 for detecting a paper break of the sheet material 15a pulled out from the sheet roll 15 is arranged.

In the roll holder 16, a water tank 17 for supplying water to a sprinkling pipe 41 described later is detachably stored in an inverted state. That is, as shown in FIG. 1, a recess 16c into which the water supply portion 17a of the water tank 17 is fitted is formed in the bottom of the roll holder 16, and the water supply pipe 16d led out from this recess 16c is installed on the bottom plate 10. The pump 18 communicates with the suction pipe 18a of the pump 18. In addition, the discharge pipe 18b of the pump 18 is connected to the water sprinkling pipe 41 via the supply pipe 19. The water tank 17 is configured so that the water in the tank can be discharged only when the water supply unit 17a is fitted into the recess 16c in an inverted state. Therefore, the water pumped from the water tank 17 via the pump 18 is supplied to each of the watering holes 41 formed in the watering pipe 41 as described later.
Water is supplied from a to the sheet material 15a.

A filter 20 having a coarse mesh is provided in the recess 16c to collect large dust and the like generated from the sheet roll 15 and the like, and prevent the dust from being sucked into the pump. A fine filter (not shown) having a fine mesh is disposed on the discharge pipe 18b side of the pump 18 to collect fine dust that cannot be collected by the filter 20, and the sprinkling pipe 41 is clogged. It is configured to prevent occurrence. Further, these filters are detachably arranged so that they can be properly removed and cleaned.

(Feeding mechanism for sheet material) Below the overhang 16b of the roll holder 16, as shown in FIG.
1 is installed rotatably. A gear 23 is arranged on the shaft 22 of the roller 21 at the end portion protruding from the one side plate 11. Further, a motor 24 is provided in the space 14, and a gear 25 is provided at an end of the rotating shaft protruding from the side plate 11, and the gear 25 is, as shown in FIG. It meshes with the gear 23 via the gear 38 arranged on the shaft 37 of the blade mounting roller 35. Therefore, by driving the motor 24, the feed roller 21 rotates counterclockwise in FIG. A plurality of O-rings 26 projecting outward in the radial direction are wound around the feed roller 21 at predetermined intervals in the axial direction, and the O-rings 26 function to smoothly pull out the sheet material 15a.

On the side opposite to the roll holder 16 with the feed roller 21 interposed therebetween, a shaft 27 is installed between the both side plates 11 and 11 in parallel with the feed roller 21, and a く -shaped pressing plate 28 is provided on the shaft 27. It is pivoted. That is, the lower bent piece 28a of the holding plate 28 is formed with protruding pieces 28b, 28b projecting in a direction away from the feed roller 21 at both ends in the longitudinal direction, and the shaft 27 is inserted through the two protruding pieces 28b, 28b. There is. Further, a torsion spring 29 on the opposite side of the feed roller 21 is arranged with the upper bending piece 28c of the pressing plate 28 interposed therebetween, and the torsion spring 29 causes the upper bending piece 28c to be always placed on the O-ring 26 of the feeding roller 21. Works to press. Therefore, the sheet material 15a pulled out from the sheet roll 15 is combined with the O-ring 26 and the holding plate 2.
8, the sheet material 15a is pressed against the feed roller 21, so that the sheet material 15a is sequentially pulled out from the sheet roll 15 with the rotation of the roller 21 (see FIG. 5 (a)). ).

Further, between the feed roller 21 and the pressing plate 28, the roller
A guide 30 is provided vertically along the guide 21, and the guide 30 functions to guide the sheet material 15 a fed by the feed roller 21 vertically downward. The guide 30 has a notch 30a that opens upward at a position corresponding to the position where the O-ring 26 wound around the feed roller 21 is disposed. Then, as shown in FIG. 1, the O-ring 26 of the feed roller 21 is
The guide 30 is configured to protrude from the notch 30a in the direction of the holding plate 28. That is, the guide 30 allows the feed roller 21 to feed the sheet material 15a, and
Is configured to be prevented from being caught in the feed roller 21.

(Sheet Material Cutting Mechanism) Below the feed roller 21, on the right side of the sheet material 15 a that is dripped and fed from the roller 21, the fixed blade bracket 31 formed in an inverted “C” shape is provided on the both sides. It is pivotally supported by a shaft 32 provided between the plates 11 and 11 so as to be freely rotatable. That is, the lower bent piece 31a of the fixed blade bracket 31 has projecting pieces 31b, 31b projecting to the back side (in a direction away from the sheet material 15a suspended from the feed roller 21) at both longitudinal ends.
(Only one is shown) is formed, and the shaft 32 is inserted through both the protruding pieces 31b, 31b. An upper bent piece 31c of the fixed blade bracket 31 has a fixed blade 33 pointing in the front panel 12 direction.
Are provided along the longitudinal direction, and the fixed blade 33 is set to have a length dimension longer than the width dimension of the sheet material 15a. Further, a torsion spring 34 is interposed on the shaft 32 on which the fixed blade bracket 31 is pivotally supported, and the bracket 34 and the fixed blade 33 are constantly elastically biased toward a rotary blade 36 described later by the spring 34. I have.

Below the pressing plate 28, a rotating blade mounting roller 35 that faces the fixed blade bracket 31 across the sheet material 15a hanging from the feed roller 21 and extends in parallel with the fixed blade bracket 31, It is rotatably installed between both side plates 11, 11. A rotary blade 36 extending along the axial direction of the roller 35 is arranged on the roller 35 with its blade edge protruding outward in the radial direction. The rotary blade 36
Is disposed at a slight angle with respect to the axis of the roller, and when the rotary blade mounting roller 35 is rotated when the sheet material 15a is cut, the rotary blade 36 and the fixed blade 33 move in the longitudinal direction. It is configured to sequentially abut from one end to the other end.

Also, the shaft 37 of the rotary blade mounting roller 35 has one side plate 11
A gear 38 is disposed at an end (the same end as the end where the gear 23 disposed on the shaft 22 of the feed roller 21 is disposed) protruding from the feed roller 21. As shown in FIG. 2, the gear 38 commonly meshes with the gear 25 connected to the motor 24 and the gear 23 disposed on the shaft 22 of the feed roller 21 to drive the motor 24. As a result, the rotary blade mounting roller 35 rotates clockwise in FIG.

A roller 35 is attached to the inner shaft end of the side plate 11 of the rotary blade mounting roller 35 (the side opposite to the end where the gear 38 is disposed).
A cam 39 which rotates integrally with the cam 39 is provided. This cam
As shown in FIG. 1, a projection 39a projecting outward in the radial direction is formed on the outer periphery of the projection 39, and the projection 39a is set so as to contact the lower end of the lower bent piece 28a of the holding plate 28. ing. The projection 39a is in contact with the lower bent piece 28a of the holding plate 28 while the rotary blade 36 is in contact with the fixed blade 33 while rotating (during cutting the sheet material 15a). , The formation range is set. Accordingly, when the rotary blade mounting roller 35 rotates and the projection 39a of the cam 39 comes into contact with the holding plate 28, as shown in FIG.
The upper bent piece 28c is separated from the O-ring 26 by rotating counterclockwise around the center 27, and the sheet material 15a is not pressed by the feed roller 21. Then, at this timing, the rotary blade 36 and the fixed blade 33 come into contact with each other, and the sheet material 15a is cut in a direction intersecting the feeding direction.

That is, the upper bent piece 28c of the holding plate 28 is the O-ring 2
As a result of the separation from 6, even if the feed roller 21 rotates, the sheet material 15a only slips on the roller 21 and no positive feed is given. Thereby, when the sheet material 15a is cut under the coupling action of the rotary blade 36 and the fixed blade 33,
The cut surface is not distorted due to the movement of the sheet material 15a, and an ordered cut surface can be obtained.

A roller (not shown) having a diameter larger than that of the roller 35 is disposed on the side of the rotary blade mounting roller 35 opposite to the side where the cam 39 is disposed. Further, at the axial end portion of the fixed blade 33, from the blade portion of the fixed blade 33 to the rotary blade mounting roller 35.
A projecting portion (not shown) projecting in the direction is formed, and the projecting portion is configured to always contact the roller under the elasticity of the torsion spring 34. As a result, a gap that allows passage of the sheet material 15a is defined between the rotary blade mounting roller 35 and the blade portion of the fixed blade 33 except when the rotary blade 36 and the fixed blade 33 are connected.

(Regarding Water Tray and Sprinkling Pipe) Below the fixed blade bracket 31, a water tray 40 is detachably mounted on a positioning member 62 disposed in a rolled hand towel manufacturing section 43, which will be described later. The upper end of the water dish 40 is formed by a lower bent piece 28a of the fixed blade bracket 31.
The sheet material 15 that faces the back side of the sheet and is fed from above.
is configured to be reliably guided to the front side of the water tray 40. This water tray 40, as shown in FIG. 1 and FIG.
It is composed of a vertical back plate 40a and a plurality of ribs 40b arranged at appropriate intervals in the longitudinal direction of the back plate 40a, and the lower end portion of the rib 40b bulges toward the front panel and each rib
The front side of 40b is connected by a dam member 40c. Further, a hole 40d is defined between the damming material 40c and the back plate 40a, and the hole 40d is a sheet material to which a part of the water sprinkled from the water sprinkling pipe 41 is transferred to the rolled wet towel production section 43. Fifteen
It works to make a drop.

As shown in FIG. 2, the water sprinkling pipe 41 is detachably installed between the both side plates 11 on the front side of the water tray 40.
A plurality of water spray holes 41a directed to the water tray 40 are formed in the water spray pipe 41, and water pumped from the water tank 17 through the pump 18 through the water spray holes 41a is transferred to the back plate 40a of the water tray 40. It is sprinkled towards. Thereby, the sheet material 15a hanging down from the feed roller 21 and located in front of the back plate 40a in the water tray 40 is provided with necessary wetness as a towel (see FIG. 5 (b)). Further, the water that has not been absorbed by the sheet material 15a passes through a hole 40d formed at the lower end of the water tray 40,
A wet hand towel manufacturing unit 43, which will be described later, is dropped onto the sheet material 15a to be transferred so as to make up for the lack of damp air in the water tray.

The supply pipe 19 that connects the discharge pipe 18b of the pump 18 and the water sprinkling pipe 41 is provided with a slot valve 42 that regulates the pressure of the water pumped from the pump 18. Further, a check valve 90 is provided in the supply pipe 19 so that all the water remaining in the water sprinkling pipe 41 and the supply pipe 19 when the water sprinkling is finished does not flow back to the pump 18. That is, if no water remains in the sprinkling pipe 41 and the supply pipe 19, the water pumped by the pump 18 will be used in the next sprinkling.
Since it takes time to reach 41 and a deviation occurs in the watering timing, it is possible to effectively prevent a watering timing deviation by always leaving water in the water sprinkling pipe 41 and the supply pipe 19.

(Regarding the roll towel manufacturing unit) A pair of guide rails 54, 54 that are inclined at a downward slope as the distance from the front panel 12 is increased, the lower two side plates 11, 11 separated from the cutting mechanism of the sheet material 15a by a predetermined distance.
Are disposed to face each other. And this guide rail
The roll towel manufacturing unit 43 is slidably mounted on 54 and 54. Further, the rolled hand towel manufacturing section 43 can be detached from the rolled hand towel manufacturing apparatus 9 as shown in FIG.
It is configured so that cleaning and maintenance can be easily performed.

As shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 3, the rolled hand towel manufacturing section 43 includes a driven roller 45 and a drive roller 46 at both ends in the longitudinal direction of a pair of support frames 44, 44, which are opposed to each other with a predetermined gap therebetween. And an endless belt 47 is wound between the rollers 45 and 46. A gear 57 is coaxially arranged at one end of the drive roller 46 in the axial direction.
When the roll towel manufacturing unit 43 is housed and arranged in the roll towel manufacturing apparatus 9, the motor 55 disposed in the space 14 is used.
It is configured to mesh with a gear 56 disposed on the rotating shaft of the.

In this way, by winding the hand towel manufacturing section 43 provided with the endless belt 47 with respect to the bottom plate 10,
Since the depth dimension of the manufacturing apparatus 9 can be made extremely short, and the roll holder 16 for accommodating the sheet roll 15 can be arranged at the rear part of the rolled hand towel manufacturing section 43, the manufacturing apparatus 9 can be compactly assembled. Further, as shown in FIG. 1, the lower moving surface of the endless belt 47 in the rolled hand towel manufacturing section 43 having an upward slope and the bottom plate 10 are largely separated from each other in a portion close to the front panel 12. . Therefore, at this position, the take-out opening 12a of the "rolling towel" can be provided in a state where it is largely opened forward. In other words, there is an advantage that the take-out port 12a for "rolling towel" can be provided without increasing the height dimension of the manufacturing apparatus 9, and that the "rolling towel" can be easily taken out. Furthermore, the gear 57 of the rolled hand towel manufacturing section 43 is
Since the weight of the manufacturing unit 43 is constantly in pressure contact with the gear 56 of the motor 55, it is not necessary to fix the manufacturing unit 43 to the manufacturing apparatus 9 via a fixture such as a bolt.

The first fixed roller 48 and the second fixed roller 48 are located at a substantially intermediate position between the support frames 44, 44 and separated by a predetermined distance in the running direction, with the upper moving surface of the endless belt 47 being inclined downward.
49 are installed. The endless belt 47 that abuts both rollers 48 and 49 and passes between them is provided with an inclination toward the fixed belt 51 (described later) in the running direction of the belt 47. Further, between the rollers 48 and 49, a third fixed roller 50 extending parallel to the rollers 48 and 49 is disposed above the endless belt 47. As will be described later, when the tip of the sheet material 15a transported by the endless belt 47 contacts the fixed belt 51, the tip of the sheet material 15a is opposite to the traveling direction of the endless belt 47, as described later. It functions to regulate movement in the direction.

At both upper and lower ends of the support frames 44, 44, projecting portions 44a, 44b projecting in the direction of the opposing support frame are formed, and one end of the fixing belt 51 is fixed to the lower surface of the upper opposing projecting portions 44a, 44a. Bracket 52 is detachably provided. A flat bracket 53 to which the other end of the fixing belt 51 is fixed is detachably provided on the upper surface of the lower facing overhanging portions 44b, 44b. That is, as shown in FIG. 1, the fixed belt 51 is separated from the upper moving surface of the endless belt 47 by a predetermined distance, and extends so as to surround the drive roller 46 from the position where the first fixed roller 48 is provided. I have. The flat plate-shaped bracket 53 is arranged at a predetermined distance with respect to the downward moving surface of the endless belt 47 having an upward slope, and the terminal end on the upward slope side is the take-out port.
It is close to 12a.

The end of the upper bracket 52 on the downstream side in the running direction of the endless belt 47 is inclined closer to the endless belt 47 on the downstream side than the third fixed roller 50. Then, the fixed belt 51 extending along the inclined portion
The endless belt 47 passing between the first fixed roller 48 and the second fixed roller 49 is set to be directed to the inclined portion 51a. Therefore, the leading end of the sheet material 15a conveyed by the endless belt 47 surely comes into contact with the inclined portion 51a of the fixed belt 51 as shown in FIG. Also, the third
Since the fixed roller 50 is disposed on the upstream side of the inclined portion 51a of the fixed belt 51, the leading end of the sheet material 15a that comes into contact with the fixed belt 51 and is folded in the direction opposite to the transport direction is the third fixed portion. The roller is brought into contact with the roller 50 and is wound inside, so that the winding start end of the roll winding is reliably formed. In addition, by configuring the distance between the endless belt 47 and the fixed belt 51 to be adjustable, it is possible to arbitrarily set the diameter of the “rolling towel” to be manufactured.

In the support frames 44, 44, inverted L-shaped positioning members 62, 62 (only one is shown) for mounting the water tray 40 are disposed at positions near the driven rollers 45. Also,
At a position below the driven roller 45 of the lower overhanging portions 44b, 44b in the support frames 44, 44, a bracket 63 having a hook-shaped tip is installed, and the tip of the bracket 63 is attached to the guide rails 54, 54. Locked to the leading end, the position of the roll towel manufacturing unit 43 is determined. Further, when the endless belt 47 is driven to run, the rolled hand towel manufacturing unit 43
Is applied counterclockwise around the drive roller 46, and the bracket 63 causes the
It also has the function of preventing the rotation of 43. In the drawings, reference numeral 64 indicates a guide plate for guiding the "rolling hand towel" manufactured by the rolling hand towel manufacturing section 43 to a tray / lid 58 which will be described later.

(Regarding Front Panel, Rear Panel, and Top Panel) The front panel 12 arranged on the front side of the bottom plate 10 is
A saucer / lid 58 is pivotally supported below the lid so as to be openable / closable, and is a "rolling hand towel" manufactured by the roll hand towel manufacturing section 43.
As shown in FIG. 4, the cover 58 can be taken out by opening the lid 58. That is, the front panel
In the lower part of 12, a take-out port 12a having the illustrated shape is formed at a position facing the lower part of the rolled hand towel manufacturing section 43, and a tray 58 serving as a tray is rotatably provided at the lower end of the take-out port 12a via a pin 59. It is pivoted. Since this outlet 12a is greatly opened forward, when the saucer / lid 58 is opened,
The “rolling towel” stored in the lid 58 can be easily taken out. A convex portion (not shown) is formed on the side surface of the saucer / lid 58, and the inner surface of the outlet 12a is located at a position corresponding to the convex portion when the saucer / lid 58 is opened and closed. A fitting recess (not shown) is formed, and the lid 58 is positioned under a fitting action between the projection and the fitting recess.

Further, an opening 12b is opened in the inclined upper plate of the take-out opening 12a, and the winding towel manufacturing section 43 is opened from this opening 12b.
The “rolling towel” manufactured in the above step falls into the saucer / lid 58. As shown in FIG. 4, on the front side of the front panel 12, a start button and a "rolling towel" to be manufactured are provided.
Buttons and display lamps for setting the number of are provided. Further, on the rear panel 13 provided on the back side of the bottom plate 10, a control unit 60 provided with control parts such as the motor 24 and the pump 18 is provided.

Said side plates 11, 11, front panel 12, and rear panel
At the upper opening of the space 14 defined by 13, there is a top panel 61 that closes the rear panel, as shown in FIG.
It is arranged so that it can be opened and closed with an end portion near 13 as a fulcrum. Further, the top panel 61 is constructed so that it can be removed from the manufacturing apparatus 9 if necessary.

As shown in FIG. 1, the central portion of the top panel 61 is formed in an arc shape that bulges upward so as to cover the upper portion of the sheet roll 15 housed in the roll holder 16.
Further, a rib 61b protruding downward is formed in a portion extending from the arc-shaped portion 61a to the horizontal portion on the front surface side in the width direction (direction intersecting with the drawing direction of the sheet material 15a). Further, a presser 91 parallel to the rib 61b is disposed at a position corresponding to the front end of the overhanging portion 16b of the roll holder 16, and the rib 61b and the presser 91 are the sheet material 15 pulled out from the sheet roll 15.
a is brought into contact with the overhang portion 16b of the roll holder 16,
It functions to operate the paper-out detecting means 65. In FIG. 4, reference numeral 92 denotes a decorative plate provided outside the side plate 11.

Next, a process of manufacturing the “rolling towel” by the rolling towel manufacturing apparatus according to the embodiment will be described. In manufacturing the roll towel, first, as shown in FIG. 5 (a), the leading end of the sheet material 15a is pulled out from the sheet roll 15 housed in the roll holder 16, and this is fed to the feed roller 21 and the pressing plate 2 as shown in FIG.
Interposed between 8 At this time, the rotary blade 36,
It is in a state immediately after being separated from the fixed blade 33. Also,
In the roll holder 16, a water tank filled with water is stored upside down. When the start button is pressed in this state, the motor 24 is driven and the rotary blade mounting roller 35 and the feed roller 21 rotate in mutually opposite directions via the gears 25, 38, 23. Since the sheet material 15a is pressed against the feed roller 21 by the pressing plate 28 as shown in FIG. 5 (a), the sheet material 15a is pulled out from the sheet roll 15 with the rotation of the feed roller 21 and fed vertically downward. Sent.

Then, when the sheet material 15a is fed downward by a predetermined length and passes through a gap defined between the fixed blade 33 and the rotary blade mounting roller 35, and hangs down to the surface of the water tray 40,
The pump 18 is energized at a required timing. As a result, as shown in FIG.
The water sent by the sprinkling pipe 41 through the 18 passes through each sprinkling hole 41.
Water is sprinkled on the sheet material 15a through a.

When the rotary blade mounting roller 35 rotates to a predetermined angle,
The projection 39a of the cam 39 arranged at the shaft end of the roller 35 contacts the pressing plate 28, and the upper bent piece 28c of the pressing plate 28 is separated from the feed roller 21 (see FIG. 5 (c)). ). As a result, the sheet material 15a is not positively fed. When the rotary blade mounting roller 35 further rotates, the rotary blade 36 comes into contact with the fixed blade 33, and the sheet material 15a located between the two blades 36, 33 is cut. That is, the rotary blade 3
While the cutting of the sheet material 15a is being performed under the action of linking the fixed blade 33 with the sheet material 6, the sheet material 15a is not positively fed by the feed roller 21. Distortion and unevenness can be effectively prevented.
Incidentally, the pump 18 is stopped at an appropriate timing,
Watering from the watering pipe 41 is stopped.

Below the cutting mechanism of the sheet material 15a, as shown in FIG. 1, a roll towel making unit 43 having an upper conveying portion of the endless belt 47 protruding forward of the water tray 40 is inclined. Therefore, when the sheet material 15a having a predetermined length is cut, the upper portion of the sheet material 15a falls down in a direction away from the water tray 40, and comes into contact with the endless belt 47 of the roll towel manufacturing unit 43. At this time, the upper part of the sheet material 15a is the sprinkling pipe 4
Since it falls down while contacting 1, each sprinkling hole 4 of sprinkling pipe 41
Water droplets attached to 1a can be wiped off (see FIG. 5 (c)).

In addition, since the roll towel manufacturing unit 43 is inclined, the depth dimension can be reduced as compared with the case where the roll towel manufacturing unit 43 is horizontally arranged as in the related art. Further, various devices can be compactly integrated in the space 14.

Since the endless belt 47 is driven to travel, the sheet material 15a that has fallen on the belt 47 is transported by the endless belt 47. At this time, since the lower end of the sheet material 15a is located at the lower bulging portion of the rib 40b in the water tray 40, the lower end is bent, and the leading end of the sheet material 15a in the traveling direction has a double seat. It will be in a state of overlapping. Then, when the leading end of the sheet material 15a is transferred to the position where the first fixed roller 48 and the second fixed roller 49 are arranged in this state, the endless belt 47 passing between the rollers 48 and 49 is inclined. As a result, the leading end of the sheet material 15a
As shown in FIG. 4D, the fixed belt 51 comes into contact with the inclined portion 51a.

Since the endless belt 47 is running continuously, the leading end of the sheet material 15a abutting on the fixed belt 51 is folded back in the direction opposite to the transport direction and then wound inward to form the starting end of roll winding. At this time, if the leading end of the sheet material 15a abutting on the fixed belt 51 is folded back in the direction opposite to the transport direction, and if the feed proceeds without being wound inward,
The end portion moves in the direction opposite to the transfer direction and is not rolled. However, as described above, the third fixed roller 50 is located upstream of the fixed belt 51 with which the leading end of the sheet material 15a contacts.
Is disposed, even if the sheet material 15a moves in the direction opposite to the transport direction, the end portion abuts on the third fixed roller 50 and is wound inward to reliably form the start end of the roll winding. be able to.

The sheet material 15a on which the starting end of the roll winding is formed,
While being transferred between the fixed belt 51 and the endless belt 47, it is rolled and wound to a predetermined diameter. As shown in FIG. 5 (d), the rolled sheet material 15a falls from the opening 12b of the front panel 12 to the saucer / cover 58 through the guide plate 64 installed on the guide rails 54,54. To do.
Therefore, as shown in FIG. 4, when the lid 58 is opened, the "rolling towel" can be taken out. In this case, since the outlet 12a has a large opening on the front side,
"Wound towel" can be easily taken out.

Effect of the Invention As described above, according to the rolled hand towel manufacturing apparatus of the present invention, the endless belt is arranged so that the inclination direction thereof is a downward slope from the front side to the rear side of the manufacturing apparatus. The roll towel take-out opening formed on the lower front side of the endless belt can be largely opened forward. This makes it possible to easily take out the "rolling towel" without increasing the height of the manufacturing apparatus. Also, the depth dimension of the device can be made extremely short. Furthermore, since the roll towel manufacturing section having the endless belt is stably positioned in the apparatus by its own weight, there is no need to fix the manufacturing section to the manufacturing apparatus via a fixture such as a bolt. Play.
