Description

SYSTEM OF DISTRIBUTOR OF FOLDED TISSUE PRODUCT CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED REQUESTS: This is a continuation in part of the application No. 08 / 755,435, filed on November 22, 1996, a continuation in part of the United States of America Patent Application Series No. 08 / 816,288, filed on November 13, March of 1997.

FIELD OF THE INVENTION This invention relates generally to the field of distributing devices and systems. More particularly, this invention relates to the field of devices and system for distributing folded sheets of material.

BACKGROUND Distributors for folded woven products such as, for example, paper napkins are often provided at restaurant fast service places. A disadvantage of many distributors of conventional paper napkins is that they often allow the removal of large numbers of napkins at one time. Studies have shown that l Most paper napkins removed in this way are wasted. Many end up scattered around the area where food is taken, thrown away as garbage, or even worse, introduced into plumbing connections. When a group of napkins is taken, the distributors quickly run out and must be refilled which annoys both the customers and the operators of the fast food service places.

There has been a long-standing need for a paper towel dispensing system that avoids and resists an assortment with waste.

SYNTHESIS OF THE INVENTION The problems and needs described above are examined by the present invention which provides a folded paper napkin dispensing system composed of: (a) an outer box defining an interior space; (b) a dispensing face defined in the outer box near one end of a stacking means, the dispensing face having a central part and a distributor throat located in the central part; and (c) attaching means mounted within the outer box to contain a stack of a folded woven product within the interior space, the stacking means having a scaffolding area close to the distributor throat having including at least two curved stops oriented as for be parallel to the path of displacement of the folded fabrics as they approach the distributor throat, and number of ribs defined on the stops to temporarily stop the movement of the folded fabrics when approaching this to the distributor throat.

The distributor face has a center and a distributor throat located in the central part. In some embodiments of the invention, the central part can be projected outwardly from the distributor. The dispensing gargants can be composed of a groove portion that is of sufficient length to allow a paper napkin to be pulled through it by a user, but of a relatively narrow width that prevents more than a few napkins from being pulled into the napkin. through the throat once. The dispenser throat may further include an access part for the finger to assist a user in grasping and pulling a paper napkin through the dispenser slot to the relatively narrow width of the dispensing slot.

According to the invention, the stacking means are composed of a scaffolding area close to the distributing gargantuan to space, arch and decelerate the napkins as they approach the distributor throat. The scaffolding area can be composed of at least two arched tops oriented so as to be parallel to the trajectory. of moving napkins when approaching these to the distributor throat, and a number of ribs defined on the stops to temporarily counteract the movement of the napkins when approaching these to the distributor throat Desirably, the scaffolding area and the stops are configured to make The napkins are arched out into the throat of the distributor.

Arched stops can desirably have an outer curve defined by a radius of from about 1.12 to about 1750 inches and a chord length of from about 1,625 to about 1,875 inches.

The ribs defined on the arched tops may have a radius of from about 0.125 to about 0.250 inches. Other dimensions and forms are contemplated.

In one aspect of the invention, the groove portion of the distributor throat may have a point of minimum width that is less than about 1.0 inch. For example, the slot portion of the distributor throat may have a minimum width point that is less than about 0.75 inches. As another example, the slot portion of the distributor gargant may have a point of minimum width that is d less of about 0.5 inches.

According to the invention, the access part for the finger of the distributor throat may have a maximum width point d which is greater than about 0.75 inches. For example, the access part for the finger of the dispensing gargants may have a point of maximum width that is about 1 inch. Desirably, the access part for the finger of the distributor throat is at the center of the distributor throat and may have a length (for example a length along the distributor throat) d about 1 inch or more. For example, the access part for the distributor throat finger may have a length of from about 1 inch to about 3 inch or more. Typically, the access portion for the finger of the distributor throat may have a length that is d about 1 half the length of the distributor throat. Of course, it is contemplated that the access portion for the finger of the distributor throat may have a length that is about a quarter to about three quarters of the length of the throat distributor.

According to the present invention, the central part of the distributor throat can be projected outside the distributor in the form of a first surface a second surface joined at an obtuse angle. In incorporation, the distributor throat must be located around the intersection of the first surfaces second. Other configurations of the distributor face which provide a crease or a break in the plane of the distributor face in the distributor throat may also be employed.

According to the invention, the individual folded fabric stack can be a stack of fibrous fabrics. Desirably, the folded fabric stack is a stack of absorbent paper tissue such as, for example, absorbent paper napkins.

The folded fabrics can be interwoven fabric, interwoven fabrics or can be individual folded fabrics. As an example, the individual folded fabric stack may contain individual fabrics composed of (a) a first central panel; (b) a second unitary panel with the first panel and bent on a first side d said first panel; (c) a third panel, unitary with the first panel, and folded over a second side of the first panel; (d) a fourth panel, unitary with the second panel, and folded as a pair between the first and second panels; and (e) a quint panel, unitary with the third panel, and folded as a pair between the first and third panels, so that a part of the third panel and the fifth panel overlap a part of the second panel and the fourth panel generating a area of uniform thickness n through the length of the fabric.

In an embodiment of this invention, the pile of individual folded fabrics can have an area of uniform thickness n through the fabric extension which is aligned so that an area of the greatest thickness extends across the width of the distributor throat.

These and various other advantages and features of the novelty which particularizes the invention are pointed out as a specialty in the claims appended here and form a part thereof. However, for a better understanding of the invention, its advantages, and the objects achieved by its use, reference should be made to the drawings which form an additional part thereof and to the accompanying description of the invention.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION Referring now to the drawings, where like reference numerals designate a corresponding structure through the views, and referring in particular to Figures 1 and 2, there is shown an example folded paper napkin dispenser system. The system includes an outer box 12 defining an interior space 14 containing stacking means 16 which are mounted inside the outer box 12 to contain a stack of paper napkins 18 within the interior space.

The system also includes a distributor face 20 defined in the outer case 12 near one end of the stack means 16.

The dispensing face 20 has a central portion 22 which can project outwardly from the outer case 12 a distributing throat 24 located in the central part 22 The distributing throat 24 is composed of a part d slot 26 which has a sufficient length to allow a Paper napkin is pulled through it by a user, but of a relatively narrow width that prevents more than a few napkins from being pulled through the throat at any time.

The dispenser throat 24 further includes a "finger access" portion 28 for assisting a user grasping and pulling a folded paper napkin through the dispenser slot despite the relatively narrow width of the dispenser slot 26.

Referring now to Figure 3, the stacking means 16 is composed of a scaffolding area 30 near the distributor throat 24 to space and decelerate the napkins as they approach the distributor throat. The scaffolding area 30 can be composed of at least two stops 32 oriented so as to be parallel to the path of displacement of the napkins as they approach the distributor throat, and a number of ribs 34 defined on the stops 32 to temporarily stop the movement. move the napkins as you approach these to the throat distributor.

The stops 32, in combination with the spring-loaded plate 36 which pushes against the stack of napkins 18, causes the folded napkins to bow outwards to bend them in the distributor throat 24. Such a configuration is believed to help distribute the napkins by doing what said napkins are fed into the dispensing gargantuan 24 relatively uniformly and relatively independently of how full the dispenser is during distribution. The stops also center the napkins over the distributor throat to reduce the possibility of the napkins being dragged against one end of the distributor slot creating friction that could tear a servillet and interrupt distribution. Toning or folded into the napkins is thought to improve contact / friction between the folded sheets (eg, interlaced interlaced sheets) of the paper napkin for more reliable distribution.

Referring now to Figure 4, there is shown a detail of the distributor throat 24 which reveals a configuration to prevent large groups of paper napkins from being pulled out of the dispenser at one time.

Specifically, the dispensing throat 24 has a portion d slot 26 having a length sufficient to permit a paper napkin to be pulled through this by a user, but a relatively narrow width that will prevent more d few paper napkins be pulled through the throat all at once. The throat distributor 24 included a finger access portion 28 to assist a user in grasping and pulling the paper napkin through the ranch. distributor 26 despite the relatively narrow width of the slot.

The part of the slot 26 of the distributor gargan 24 can have a point of minimum width "W" that is less than about 1.0 inch. For example, the part d slot "W" of the distributor throat may have a minimum width point that is less than about 0.75 inches. As another example, the "W" slot portion of the distributor gargants can have a minimum width point that is less than about 0.5 inches.

The access portion for finger 28 of the dispensing gargants may have a point of maximum width "F" that is greater than about 0.75 inches. For example, the access part for the finger of the distributor throat may have a point of a maximum width "F" that is greater than about an inch.

Desirably, the access portion for the finger 2 of the distributor throat 24 is at the center of the dispensing gargants and may have a length "L" (eg, a length along the distributor throat) of about d 1 inch or more. For example, the access portion for the finger of the dispensing throat may have a length "L" of from about 1 inch to about 3 inches or more.

Typically, the finger access portion of the dispensing gargants may have an "L" length that is about one-half of the total length "T" of the dispensing throat. Of course, the access portion for the finger is contemplated the distributor throat may have a length "L" that is d about a quarter to about 3 quarters of the total length "T" of the distributor throat.

Referring now to Figure 5, it can be seen that the central part 22 of the distributor face 20 projects outward from the outer box 12 of the distributor. In an embodiment of the invention, the central part 22 of the dispenser car 20 projects outwards in the form of a first surface 40 and a second surface 42 joined at an obtuse angle to (e.g., greater than 90 degrees and less than 18 degrees). The distributor groove 24 should be located around the intersection 44 of first and second surfaces 40 and 42 where there is a crease or break in the plan of the distribution face 20. Such configuration is thought qu provides better access to the paper napkins to Trave relatively narrow distribution slot 26. S contemplated that other configurations of the distributor car which provide a suitable crease or rompimiend in the plane of the dispensing face at the dispensing Gargant be used.

Generally speaking, the angle a may vary from about 175 degrees to about 160 degrees to provide a crease or break in the plane of the distributing ca 20. For example, the angle may vary from about 173 degrees to about 162 degrees. degrees. As an example, at an ex angle it can vary from about 17 degrees to about 165 degrees.

During normal operation, a consumed person will grasp the folded paper napkin by grasping the part or tail of the paper napkin that protrudes / extends through the dispensing slot. When being distributed the folded napkin, another part of the napkin that follows and withdrawn to provide the next or protruding part extending outward from the napkin. If the consumer finds a new stack of folded napkins in which the glue does not protrude through the dispensing slot 26 or if the previous distribution failed to properly pull a new col through the slot, the user will grasp the exposed part of the slot. paper napkin and pinch the body of the servillet by placing one or more fingers on the finger access part 28 of the throat 24. If the user pulls it aggressively, such as in an attempt to pull a large group of napkins paper out of the dealer, the attempt will be impeded because a large number of napkins n will fit through the distributor slot 26. Therefore, the waste distribution of the paper towels is reduced Figures 6A and 6B show the exemplary profiles of the arched stops 32. As shown, the outer curv of the stop is defined by a radius r of from about 1 to 2 inches. For example, the outer curve may be formed by a radius r of from about 1125 to about 1750 inches. The stop can have a chord length? d from around 1.5 to about 2.0 inches. For example the stop can have a chord length? from about 1,625 to about 1,875 inches. It is contemplated that other shapes of the stop and radii of curvature may be used. The multiple ribs 34 are shown on the arched stops 32. These ribs each have a radius of from about 0.1 to about 0.5 inches. For example, each rib can have a radius of from around 0.125 to around 0.250. Several combinations of rib radii can be used. For example, the smaller ribs can be used in combination with larger ribs. The ribs 34 can be evenly placed on the arched stop 32 as shown in Figure 6A. Alternatively and / or additionally, the ribs 34 can be concentrated on a portion of the arched top 32 as shown in Figure 6B.

According to the invention, the distributed system is designed to work with the stack of individual folded fabrics as well as with conventional double-folded fabrics interwoven fabrics.

The individual folded fabrics may be composed of: (a) a first central panel; (b) a second unitary panel with the first panel and bent on a first side of the first panel; (c) a third panel, unitary with the first panel and folded on a second side of the first panel; (d) a fourth panel, unitary with the second panel, and folded so as to place between the first and second panels; and (e) a quint panel, unitary with the third panel, and folded as it is placed between the first and third panels, so that a part of the third panel and the fifth panel overlap a part of the second panel and the fourth panel generating an area of uniform thickness n through the length of the fabric.

More particularly and with reference to Figur 7, the folded fabric "F" includes a first central panel 100 qu has a first fold line 102 at a first end 104 a second fold line 106 at a second end 108 qu is opposite from the first end 104. The folded fabric "F" further includes a second panel 200 having a first end 202 that is joined to the first panel 100 on the first fold line 102 and a second end 204 having a third line. of bend 206 defined there. A third panel 300 having a first end 302 that is connected to the first panel 100 in the second fold line 106 and further includes a second end 304 having a fourth fold line 306 defined therein. The folded fabric "F" also includes a fourth panel 400 which is attached to the second panel 200 in the third fold line 206. The fourth panel 400 is bent with respect to the second panel 20 in the third fold line 206 so that the fourth pane 400 is essentially positioned between the first panel 100 and second panel 200. Similarly, the folded fabric "F" includes a fifth panel 500 which is attached to the third panel 300 in the fourth fold line 306. The fifth panel 500 is folded co with respect to the third panel 300 in the fourth fold line 306 d so that the fifth panel 500 will be essentially placed between the third panel 300 and the first panel 100 when it is bent as seen in Figures 7, 8 and 9.

A first edge "E" of the folded fabric "F" s defined on one end of the fourth panel 400 which is opposite from the third fold line 206. Similarly, the folded fabric "F" includes a second edge "E" which is on the fifth panel 500 and placed opposite from the fourth line d fold 306. Since the fourth and fifth panels 400 and 500 are bent to be between the second and third panels 20 and 300, respectively, and the first panel 100, the first and second edges E, E 'will not be easily visible to an observer.

An important feature of the present invention is that the combined width of the second and third panels 200 and 300 is greater than the width of the first panel 100 which will ensure that the woven product "F" has a region region of a thickness not uniform that extends through the length of the woven product folded into a central region when the product is folded flat.

The width of the first panel 100 is defined as being the distance from the first fold line 102 to the second fold line 106. The width of the second panel 200 is defined as the distance from the first line d fold 102 to the third line of bend 206, and the width of third panel 300 is defined as being the distance from the second fold line 106 to the fourth bend line 306.

A midpoint 70 of the distance on the first panel 100 between the first fold line 102 and the second fold line 106 is indicated in Figures 7 and 10. In the embodiments of Figures 7, 9 and 10, the second panel 200 the third panel 300 have the same width which, in combination, is greater than the width of the first panel 100. Est causes the third fold line 206 to be placed on the opposite side of the midpoint 70 of the first fold line 10 and of the fourth fold line 306 to be placed on the opposite side of the midpoint 70 of the second bend line 206. Ta The configuration makes a part of the second panel 200 and fourth panel 400 overlap a part of the third panel 300 and a fifth panel 500 by generating a zone or region 80 of uniform thickness n through the length of the folded fabric "F". As can be seen from Figures 7 and 10, the area or region 80 of non-uniform thickness is centered on the midpoint 70.

In the embodiment of Figure 8, the second panel 200 has a width that is less than the width of the third panel 300. Importantly, the combined width of the second panel 200 and the third panel 300 is greater than the width of the first panel 100 so that a portion of the second panel 200 and fourth panel 400 overlap a portion of the third panel 300 and fifth panel 500 by generating a zone or region 80 of uniform thickness n through the length of the folded fabric "F". The lack of symmetry between the second panel 200 and the third panel 30 changes the region or region 80 of non-uniform thickness towards the middle point 70. Such a configuration is desirable for the distributors having a decentered opening.

According to an embodiment of the invention, the width of the fourth panel 400 may be less than one half the width of the second panel 200. Alternatively and / or additionally, the width of the fifth panel 500 may be less than one-half the width of the second panel. third panel 300. Such a configuration improves the thickness difference (e.g., non-uniform thickness) of bent fabric product by concentrating overcoloring of the panels in the central region of the folded fabric product. For example, in the center of the folded woven product, the portions of the second panel 200, the fourth panel 400, the first panel 100, the fifth panel 500 and the third panel 300 will be stacked on top of each other to provide a thickness equivalent to five (5). ) sheets of material. When the width of the fourth panel 400 is less than that of the second panel 200 (for example, the fourth less than the mit of the width of the second panel) and when the width of the fifth pan 500 is less than that of the third panel 300 (for example, the panel less than half the width of the third panel), the non-central regions or the outer regions of the folded leaf product have a thickness equivalent to only two (2) sheets of material. Thus, the outer regions of the folded leaf product have a thickness that is less than one half (for example 2/5) the thickness of the central region.

Referring now to Figure 11, when individual folded fabrics are used, the distributor face 20 of the dispenser can be configured to have a central part 22 projecting outwardly from the outer box 1 and a distributor groove 844 located in the central part 22. The distributor throat 844 can be defined by the edges of the distributor face and must have a width that is slightly smaller than the width of the individual folded fabric (po example, the paper napkin) that is going to be distributed. The distributor throat 844 has a top edge 846, a bottom edge 848, a first side edge 850 and a second side edge 852.

It can be seen in Figure 11 that the central part 22 of the distributor face 20 projects outwardly from the outer case 12 of the distributor. The central part 22 of the distributor car 20 projects outwards in the form of a first surface 854 and a second surface 856 joined at an obtuse angle to (eg, greater than 90 and less than 180 degrees) The distributor throat 844 must to be located around the intersection 858 of the first and second surfaces, 854 856 where there is a crease or break in the plane of the distributing carriage 20. It is contemplated that other configurations of the distributing face which provide a proper break crease in the plane of the distributing face in the distributor throat can be used.

Generally speaking, the angle can vary from about 175 degrees to about 160 degrees to provide a crease or break in the plane of the dispensing car. For example, the angle a can vary from desd around 173 degrees to about 162 degrees. As another example, the angle a can vary from about L7 degrees to about 165 degrees.

In the feature of the present invention the one or more recessed sections 860 along at least one edge of the distributor throat which contract the pil of individual folded fabrics so that a portion of the pile of individual folded fabrics is project towards afuer from the distributor throat. These recessed sections 86 are desirably located along the upper edge 846, the first side edge 850, and the second side edge 852 of the distributor groove 844 which contact the stack of the individual folded fabrics and must be dimensionally dimensioned. that a part of the stack of the individual folded fabrics projects outward from the dispensing gargantuan.

By pressing against the stack of individual bent fabrics, the recessed portions 86 located on the first side edge 850 and on the second side edge 852 also become more difficult for a consumer and insert one or more fingers into the distributor throat. to grab a group of tissues. Therefore, the wasted distribution of bent fabrics is reduced.

EXAMPLE _ The force required to distribute the conventional individual double-coated paper napkins was measured from a distributor of paper napkins mounted in vertical and horizontal standard. The force required to distribute the individual over-folded paper napkins from a conventional dispenser with a modified distributor throat and the arched stops with ribs was measured. In addition, the force required to distribute the individual overdoped paper napkins from a conventional dispenser with a modified distributor throat but lacking curved stops with ribs was measured. The procedure is as follows: METHOD Horizontal Test 1) Load a K-# 09460 standard napkin dispenser (horizontal and vertical mount) available from Kimberly-Clark Corporation, of Roswell, Georgia with 2 standard overdoped product napkins. Behind the standard napkins, load an additional clip of approximately 200 napkins to fill the dispenser. The spring inside the dispenser exerts a force of approximately 1. pounds on the napkins. This force is constant for all tests. 2) Close the distributor. Pull the first 1 napkins in the dispenser and discard them. Generally speaking, the first few loaded napkins tend to be distributed erratically, possibly due to crushing 3) Hold one end of the binding clip for the exposed napkin in the distributor throat. Hold the other end to a calibrated force gauge. Pull the gauge d force out of the napkin, parallel to the horizontal surface on which the dispenser is resting, at a constant speed of approximately 0.5 inches / second Record the peak force required to distribute the napkin 4) Repeat step 3 until the 10 napkins have been distributed.

) Replace the standard K- # 09460 napkin dispenser with a modified K-C # 0946 napkin dispenser. This distributor has been modified to have the opening of the distributor throat shown in Figure 4. The width "W" of the slot portion of the opening of the dispensing gargants was about 0.5 inches, the width "F" d Access part of the opening finger of the dispensing gargana was about 1 inch, the length "L" of the access part for the finger was about 1.5 inches and the total length "T" of the throat opening distributor It was around 3 inches. The hard plastic arched stops (having the configuration shown in Figure 6B) were mounted on the manifold generally as shown in Figure 3. The outer curve of the stop as defined by a radius was about 1.5 inches. The length of the chord? top was about 1.75 inches. Each rib on the top had a radius of 0.2 inches. 6) Remove the arched stops from the distributor of modified K-C # 09460 napkins and repeat steps 1 to 5.

Vertical Test 1) Remove the spring in all napkin dispensers. The weight of the napkins (20 test napkins and the 200 paper clip) is approximately 1.3 pounds. In the vertical position, the weight of the napkins is approximately equivalent to the horizontal spring force. 2) Repeat steps 1 to 6 of the horizontal test with the distributors now mounted to a vertical surface.

The results of the test are reported in Table 1 and Table 2.

Table 1 - Horizontal Distribution (Top Table) * W TOPES ** W WITHOUT STOPS Table 2 - Vertical Distribution (Wall Mounting) * W TOPES ** W WITHOUT STOPS The distributor having the modified distributed throat and the curved stops was superior in terms of providing a reduced dispensing force to the other distributing designs. The reduction in distribution forces seems to be very good for both horizontal and vertical distributions.

Generally speaking, the present invention is believed to be particularly desirable for use with horizontally placed folded paper towel dispensers. The arched stops provide a desirable reduced dispensing force. The combination of a narrow distributing garganti, of a distributing face that projects, of the means of stacking and of the curved stops that arch outward the napkins in the scaffolding area provide a reliable distribution and with less waste of the paper napkins bent It should be understood, however, that even though numerous features and advantages of the present invention have been set forth in the foregoing description, along with detail of the structure and function of the invention, the description is only illustrative, and changes in details may be made. , especially in the matters of form, size and arrangement of the parts within the principles of the invention in the extended complete indicated by the broad general meaning of the terms in which the claims are expressed.
