Patented Feb. 7, 1933 UNIT STATES PATENT O ICE JOSEPH 0. WILSON, OFMIDDLE'IOW'N, OHIO, ABBIGNOR TO THE CRYSTAL TISSUE OOIPANY, OF.KIDDLE10WN, OHIO, A CORPORATION OF OHIO mum DISPENSING PACKAGE FOB BOLLED WEBS OF FLEXIBLE MATERIAL Application filed June 18,
My invention relates to tubular dispensing containers for rolled webs of flexible material, such as waxed paper, tissue paper, paper towelling and the like.
6 It is the object of my invention to provide a tubular dispensing package for a roll of sheet material which is provided with a tearofl' knife and which is provided with means for feeding out a desired length of web to enable a person using the container to secure a finger ip when it is desired to remove a certain ength of the material for use.
The invention described herein is an improvement in the general type of diapensing containers referred to in my co-pen ing application, Ser. No. 462,089, filed June 18, 1930. In my co-pending application herein referred to I have disclosed a rectangular package. The invention described herein partly relates to cylindrical dispensing containers, and as has been noted, it is my object to provide a cylindrical container having a longitudinal slot therein with a cut-off knife arranged at the edge of the slot so that a withdrawn piece of material may be torn off, and in which other portions of the cylindrical wall of the container are so constructed and arran d as to automatically feed back a sufiicient ength of the web after a piece has been torn off to enable one to secure a finger grip to permit the withdrawal of a further supply conveniently and without danger.
The above object and other objects to which reference will be made in the ensuing disclosure I accomplish by that certain combination and arrangement of parts, of which I have shown a preferred embodiment.
Referring to the drawing:
Figure 1 is a front elevation of my preferred type of tubular dispenser with portions thereof broken away and shown in sections.
Figure 2 is a plan view of the assembly roll and tubular container.
1 Figure 3 is an end elevation of the assembled container shown in Figure 2.
Figure 4 is a sectional view as indicated by the line 44 in Figure 1, showing the normal position of the container when not in use.
Figure 5 is a sectional view taken along mo. Serial m. 402,090.
similar lines as those on which Figure 4 is taken, showing the position of the tube during a tearing off operation.
The container 1 is formed of a tubular piece of stifi material such as that from which mailing tubes are made, formed into cylindrical shape. Annularring members 2 are crimped-in to the ends of the tube to receive the ends 3 of the core 4 about which the web 5 of material is rolled. v
A longitudinal slot 6,is cut through the tube and peripheral slots 7 are also cut into the tube, extending part way around the tube so as to provide arcuate segment 8 which is held resiliently to the remaining portion of the tube by a line of articulation 9 extending longitudinally of the container at about the position of the end 10 of the peripheral slot 7.
A tear-off knife 11 is secured to the u per surface of the tube adjacent the longitu inal slot by means of crimping eyelets 12.
Figures 4 and 5 illustrate the manner of use of this tubular container. Aroll of flexible material such as waxed or tissue paper is inserted within the container with the ends of the core extending within the annular ring members at the ends of the cylinder. The core is thus provided with suitable bearing members which will permit the rotation of the core. While I find that to provide the 30 ring members as supports for the core of the roll is desirable, it should be understood that the roll with its core may be enclosed completely within the tube. Figures 4 and 5 show the manner in which the end of the web 55 5 may be withdrawn through the longitudinal slot 6. .Normally the segment 8 lies with its edge in alignment with the edge of the tube to which the cut-off knife 11 is secured. The cut-off knife is on the outer surface of the tube. When the person using the container has removed a desired length of the web, the segment 8 is pushed down to the position shown in Figure 5 from the position shown in dotted lines in Figure 5. The web is thus tensioned for tearing off a desired length of piece, and when the arcuate segment 8 is released it springs back to the position shown in Figure 4. and to the position shown in dotted lines in Figure 5, feeding out during tudinal cut or slot are shown as extending to.
points diametrically opposite the longitudinal cut or through an arc of 180 degrees. While I find this a preferred construction, it should be understood that my invention should not be limited to the particular length and size of cuts or slots shown, as the inherent ,spring in the tube of this kind may be employed in other arrangements to provide the same advantages as I contem late.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim is new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is:
1. A dispensing container for a roll of flexible material comprising a semi-rigid cylindrical member having a longitudinal slot therein, one wall of said cylindrical member having a tear-ofi' knife attached thereto extending'into a position adjacent said slot, and the wallof the slotted portion opposite the wall to which the knife is attached being an integral continuation of said cylindrical member and having peripheral slots at the ends thereof bisecting the longitudinal slot through which a web of material contained in said container may be withdrawn, said last noted wall being resiliently connected to said cylindrical portion so that with the depression of the free end of said wall the web will betensioned for tearing off and upon release will feed out a suflicient quantity of the web to provide a finger grip to permit the subsefquent withdrawal of the web.
-2. A tubular dispenser for flexible web material having a longitudinal dispensing slot through which said web may be with drawn, means providing a tearing edge against which a withdrawn piece of web may be torn off, and said dispenser having a movable wall opposed to said tearing edge providing means for feeding out a finger gripping portion of the web subsequent to the tearing off operation. I i
3. A tubular dispenser for flexible web material having a longitudinal dispensing slot through which said web may be withdrawn,
means providing a tearing edge against which a Withdrawn piece of web may be torn off, said dispenser having a movable wall opposed to said tearing edge providing means for feeding out a finger gripping portion of the web subsequent to the tearing ofi' operation, said last named means further providing means for clamping the web for holding same taut durin a tearin ofl operation.
4. i tubular ispenser for flexible web material having a longitudinal dispensing slot through which said web may be w thdrawn, means roviding a tearing edge against which a with rawn piece of web may be torn ofi, said dispenser havin a wall opposed to said tear ing edge provi ing means for feeding out a finger gripping portion of the web subseuent to the tearing of! operation, said means durther comprising an arcuate segment of said dispenser articulated thereto and having peripheral slots at the end edges, thereof.
5. A tubular dispenser for flexible web material having a longitudinal dispensing slot through which said web may be withdrawn,- means providing a tearing edge against whicha withdrawn iece of web may be torn ofl',
said dispenser aving a movable wall opposed to said tearin edge providing means for feedin out a nger gripping portion of the web siisequent to the tearin ofi operation, said dispenser being provide with annular bearings within the ends thereof for receiving the ends of a support for said roll of aforesaid web.
6. A tubular dis material having a on 'tudinal dispensing slot through which sai web may be withdrawn, means providing a tearing edge against which a withdrawn piece of web may be torn 0E, and an op sed movable wall of said dispenser opposed to said tearing edge providing means for feedin out a finger gripping portion of the web sifiisequent to the tearing of! operation.
7. A tubular dispenser for flexible web ma-- ient'movable wall opposed to said tearing that pressure on said, wall will force its edge under said tearingedge,
edge and so positione thereby providing means for feeding out a finger grippingfportion of the web subsequent to the tearing 0 operation.
