Description

Apparatus for discharging a piece of tissue out of a laminated tissue body

The present invention relates to an apparatus for discharging a laminate of tissues.

Generally, a towel is provided in a restaurant so that guests can clean their hands before eating.

Such wet wipes are once again collected by the customer, washed and provided to the customer. However, due to the possibility of using a large amount of water, residual chemicals and residual bacteria when washing the wet towel, there was a problem that its management is difficult for hygiene and environmental protection.

In order to solve the problem of the wet towel, plastic tissue-disposable disposable tissues are widely used.

However, the plastic-packed disposable wipes have a problem of causing environmental pollution due to the indiscriminate disposal of the wrapping paper surrounding the wipes.

In addition, recently, a method of winding the tissue in a rolled form and storing it in a separately provided container, and taking out tissue from the container and cutting the tissue by a predetermined amount is widely used in general restaurants, fast food restaurants, and restrooms.

An apparatus for automatically supplying rolled tissue is shown in FIG. 1.

The configuration of the apparatus for automatically supplying the conventional roll-type tissue is as shown, the housing (1), the rolled tissue in the form of a roll (2), the driving roller for unwinding the roll-type tissue (2) The tissue 2 is supplied by supplying water to the direct wetting means 5 and the driven roller 32 'to directly inject water into the 31' and the driven roller 32 'and the tissue 2. Indirect wetting means 6 for wetting indirectly, upper and lower blades 82 'and 81' for cutting the wet tissue 2 to a predetermined length, and tissue discharging means for discharging the cut tissue 2 (7). )

When the conventional wet tissue supply device is to use wet tissue, the wet tissue is sprayed directly onto the tissue and wetted and then cut by a predetermined length.

Although the wet tissue automatic supply device having the same method as the conventional art is not separately shown in the drawings, there are domestic utility model application No. 1999-0019082 and domestic patent application No. 1996-0042287.

However, since the tissue is provided in a rolled state in the conventional tissue automatic feeding device, there is a problem that a blade for cutting the tissue to a certain length must be provided separately.

In addition, in the conventional tissue automatic feeding device, the blade has a problem that the blade must be periodically replaced in order to increase cutting efficiency because the blade is worn while cutting the tissue for a predetermined time.

In addition, Korean Utility Model Application No. 1999-0019082 and Korean Patent Application No. 1996-0042287 require a separate conveyor to cut the rolled tissue with a blade and wind the cut fabric into a cylindrical shape for easy use by the user. There was a problem.

In order to solve the above problems, Korean Patent Application No. 2003-0050544, filed on July 23, 2003, discloses a laminate of tissues and an apparatus for ejecting the laminate.

2 is a cross-sectional view showing an apparatus for ejecting a stack of tissues according to the prior art, and FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view showing an operating state of the apparatus for ejecting a stack of tissues according to the prior art.

2 and 3, the apparatus for discharging the laminate 20 of the tissue 10 is composed of a body 30, a discharge member 40 and the support (50, 51) and the like.

First, the body 30 has one side and the other side communicate with each other so that the stack 20 of the tissue 10 is introduced or discharged.

The body 30 has a hollow inside and has a substantially rectangular shape. And the material of the body 30 is made of a hard material such as wood, plastic and metal.

In the body 30, an inlet 31 through which the laminate 20 of the tissue 10 is introduced is formed at an upper portion thereof, and a discharge port 32 through which the laminate 20 of the tissue 10 is discharged is formed at a lower portion thereof. do.

Discharge member 40 is provided on the other side of the body 30 to support the stack 20 of the tissue 10, the tissue 10 to form the stack 20 through a horizontal reciprocating movement made automatically or manually Discharge one by one.

The discharge member 40 is formed in a flat plate shape, and is made of a hard material such as wood, plastic, and metal. However, if necessary, the discharge member 40 may be made of a soft material rather than a hard material.

In addition, the discharge member 40 is capable of horizontal reciprocating motion manually or automatically.

If the discharge member 40 is operated manually, it is possible to operate by pulling the user directly with both ends or the center portion of the discharge member 40.

On the other hand, when the discharge member 40 operates automatically, although not shown in the drawing, at least one motor (not shown) is provided at both ends or the center of the discharge member 40 to drive the discharge member 40 directly. Can be.

Although not shown, racks (not shown) are formed at both ends of the discharge member, and pinion gears are provided on the shaft of the motor, and the rack gears formed on the discharge member and the pinion gears provided on the motor shaft are engaged with each other. In this state, if the motor is driven in the forward and reverse directions, horizontal reciprocating operation of the discharge member is possible.

The first discharge groove 41 and the second discharge groove 42 are formed in the central portion of the discharge member 40.

The first discharge groove 41 and the second discharge groove 42 are portions at which the tissue 10 constituting the laminated body 20 is discharged from the connecting portion 11.

The guide grooves 43 are further provided in the discharge grooves 41 and 42 of the discharge member 40 in the direction in which the tissue 10 is discharged.

The guide 43 has a substantially 'i' shape, and is formed such that its upper side protrudes slightly from the discharge member 40, and as shown in FIG. 3, the laminated body 20 during the reciprocating motion of the discharge member 40. Tissue 10 is discharged grooves (41, 42) by automatically separating the tissue (10A) located at the bottom of the tissue (20) and the tissue (10B) located at the top of the tissue (10A) located at the bottom of the tissue (20) It is discharged not to catch).

On the other hand, the support (50, 51) is provided on the other side of the body 30 to support the body 30 from the ground, the groove in which the discharge member 40 is inserted in the longitudinal direction so that the discharge member 40 can be moved (52, 53).

The supports 50 and 51 are composed of a first support 50 and a second support 51.

The first support member 50 and the second support member 51 each have a quadrangular shape, and the first support member 50 and the second support member 51 are respectively provided so that the discharge member 40 can be fitted in parallel in the longitudinal direction.
