Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a toilet roll in the form of a tissue roll, more generally in the form of a tissue pack. or a tissue dispenser for (but not limited to) hand towels.

[Prior art] and [Problems to be solved by invention]
Tissue dispensers are well known and usually include a holder on which the tissue roll is mounted or encased so that the tissue roll rotates freely on the holder. For example, if a public tissue dispenser can only be loaded with one tissue at a time, caregivers may have to repeatedly replace empty tissue rolls with new ones. Additionally, empty public tissue dispensers can be a nuisance.

[Object of the Invention] An object of the present invention is to provide a tissue dispenser that improves these problems.

[Means for solving problems]

The tissue dispenser provided by the present invention includes a magazine for storing a plurality of tissue packs, a pulling means for pulling out tissues from one tissue pack, and a means for transferring one tissue pack from the magazine to the pulling means. and a means of transportation.

Here, the term "tissue roll" includes toilet rolls (toilet paper rolls).

Preferably, the tissue dispenser includes a container capable of holding a plurality of tissue packs, which container constitutes the magazine. The withdrawal means may be provided within the container in a withdrawal position. The container can be made of a transparent material, such as a transparent plastic material.

Preferably, the transfer means comprises a transfer arm and a transfer slide.

The transfer arm includes a first member pivotally connected to the container by a pivot arm and a second member attached to the same pivot arm.
The first and second members preferably extend radially from the pivot arm. The length, shape and angle of the first and second members are determined by the size and shape of the tissue pack from which the tissue is drawn.

The first and second members pivot between a transfer blocking position and a transfer position. In the transfer blocking position, the first member of the transfer arm blocks the tissue pack into the magazine. In the transfer position, the first member allows the tissue pack to be transferred from the magazine to the extraction position.

Preferably, the transfer slide includes a contact member for contacting the transfer arm and a slide member for sliding in a slot provided in the container.

As the transfer slide moves, contact between the contact member of the transfer slide and the second member of the transfer arm causes the transfer arm to rotate about the pivot slot. Movement of the transfer slide therefore rotates the first member of the transfer arm from the transfer block position to the transfer position.

When the tissue pack passes from the magazine to the first member of the transfer arm, the tissue pack passes from the magazine to the second member of the transfer arm.
Preferably, it rests on the member and causes the transfer arm and transfer slide to return to the transfer block position.

Preferably, the container is mounted to the wall so that the magazine contains tissue packs stored vertically within the container and the tissue packs are fed by gravity to the extraction position.

Preferably, the container is provided with a tissue pack removal opening to facilitate removal of the empty tissue pack. Additionally, serrated edges are preferably provided within the tissue pack removal opening to facilitate withdrawal of tissue from the tissue pack.

The tissue dispenser, preferably its lid, may incorporate an air freshener.

〔Example〕

A preferred embodiment of the invention will now be described, by way of example only, with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which: FIG.

Referring to Figures 1-8, there is shown one embodiment of a tissue dispenser 1 according to the present invention, particularly for use with toilet rolls.

The installation of this tissue dispenser 1 is point 4.
It has a front plate 2 and a back plate 3 which are joined to each other at points 5, and the back plate 3 can be attached to the wall using the wall attachment points 5. The toilet roll removal opening 6 of the tissue dispenser 1 allows the user to remove tissue from the tissue dispenser and tear the tissue along the serrated edges 7. The empty toilet roll can be easily removed through this toilet roll removal opening 6.

2 and 9 to 13 show an embodiment of the transfer arm 8 and transfer slide 9 incorporated in the tissue dispenser of the present invention. The transfer arm 8 is pivotally connected to the tissue dispenser 1 at a pivot slot 10, as shown in FIG.
It has The transfer slide 9 has a contact member 14 which is brought into contact with the second member 12 of the transfer arm 8, as shown in FIG. The transfer slide 9 further has a slide member 15 and a transfer slide hole 16 . This sliding member 15 is attached to the contact member 14 by a reinforcing member 17.

Figures 14-15 show an embodiment of an air freshener 18 incorporated into a tissue dispenser 1 according to the invention. This air frenoshner has ventilation holes 2
M19 for tissue dispenser 1 having 0;
The air freshener container 21 is attached to the lid 19 through a lip 22 on the container 21 in a guide groove 23 formed in the lid 19.

In the embodiment shown, a tissue as shown in FIG.
Two toilet rolls are loaded into the area 25 within the dispenser 1 to form a magazine. A loaded first toilet roll (not shown) rides on the first member 11 of the transfer arm 8, and then a loaded second toilet roll (not shown) rides on top of the second toilet roll. get on.

Removal area 26 of the first toilet roll from the magazine
To transfer the empty toilet roll to the tissue dispenser 1, after removing the empty toilet roll from the withdrawal area 26, the user moves the transfer slide 9 towards the front of the tissue dispenser 1 using the transfer slide hole 16. As shown in FIG.
Guided by 7.

The forward movement of the contact member 14 of the transfer slide 9 brings the contact member 14 into contact with the second member of the transfer arm 8, thereby causing the transfer arm 8 to rotate about the pivot slot 10. Accordingly, the first member 11 of the transfer arm 8 moves from the transfer block position to the transfer position and the first toilet roll falls from the magazine 11 onto the second member 12.

The weight of the first toilet roll falling onto the second member 12 causes the transfer arm 8 and the transfer slide 9 to return to the transfer block position. As a result, a first toilet roll is accommodated in the extraction area 26 and a further twenty toilet rolls are accommodated on the first member 11 of the transfer arm 8.

When the first toilet roll becomes empty, another toilet roll can be added to the magazine by repeating the above operation.

〔Effect of the invention〕

An advantage of the tissue dispenser of the present invention is that multiple tissue punctures can be loaded into the tissue dispenser at any given time, and tissue packs can be easily withdrawn from the magazine within the tissue dispenser to the tissue extraction area. It is clear that this reduces the risk and inconvenience of emptying the tissue dispenser.
