Definitions

  • the present disclosure relates to the field of dispensers of products in roll form, more specifically capable of containing a plurality of rolls arranged with axes parallel to one another, and having a plurality of slots or apertures for the exit (or dispensing) of the rolled products.
  • U.S. Pat. No. 2,726,825 discloses a dispenser capable of containing two rolls arranged one above the other. A first aperture in the lower part of the dispenser forms an exit for paper forming the lower roll, whilst a second aperture on the front face of the dispenser characterizes the exit for the paper forming the second roll.
  • U.S. Pat. No. 3,642,336 relates to a dispenser capable of containing three rolls: a first roll of large size, above which two other rolls of smaller size are stored in an element which is removable with respect to the body of the dispenser.
  • the product forming the first roll is unwound through an aperture in the lower part of the dispenser, in fact through the open bottom of the dispenser.
  • Each of the other rolls is unwound through two slots formed at the front of the dispenser.
  • U.S. Pat. No. 2,969,169 shows a dispenser containing three rolls arranged and stored one above the other and three different exits. According to this document, the three rolls have the same width, but are preferably formed from products of different types.
  • Dispensers as described in U.S. Pat. No. 2,924,493, are also known, which contain a plurality of rolls, here three, and each exit of which has a sawtooth-shaped profile intended for cutting the paper (or other product) which emerges from it.
  • This dispenser can contain a paper roll, and it is characterized by an integrated cutting mechanism; the exit of the paper is effected via a slot in the lower part, in the bottom, of the dispenser.
  • This type of dispenser is useful for its capability in cutting paper, but it makes it possible to unwind only a single roll at a time.
  • the subject of the present disclosure is a dispenser of products in roll form, comprising:
  • the dispenser comprises, furthermore, a second aperture having a slot parallel to the axis of the second roll for the exit of one end of the second roll, the said slot having a length smaller than the width of the second roll, in order to brake the unwinding of the said roll.
  • the second aperture is in the general shape of a T.
  • the first and the second roll are of different size and/or composition.
  • the first roll is formed by an absorbent paper.
  • the second roll is formed by the winding of at least one plastic sheet.
  • the second aperture according to the invention of a length smaller than the width of the roll, effects a braking of the unwinding of the said roll placed opposite.
  • the second roll may be formed by the winding of plastic bags connected to one another by means of pre-cut lines.
  • the second roll may be formed by the winding of elements in the form of gloves connected to one another by means of pre-cut lines.
  • the shape and arrangement of the gloves are such that the pre-cut lines form straight lines perpendicular or substantially perpendicular to the unwinding direction of the roll.
  • the dispenser may comprise a third aperture in the form of a slot parallel to the axis YY′ of the second roll and capable of being used alternatively to the said second aperture.
  • the second aperture and/or the third aperture may be formed by means of a component attached to the front face of the dispenser.
  • FIG. 1 is a presentation of a dispenser according to the prior art
  • FIG. 2 is a diagrammatic view of a dispenser according to an embodiment of the disclosure.
  • a known dispenser comprises a plurality of inner spaces 1 , 2 , 3 , each containing a roll (not shown). Each roll is assigned an aperture 10 , 11 , 12 of elongate shape, parallel to the axis of the rolls 1 , 2 , 3 .
  • a sawtooth-shaped blade 20 is arranged parallel to each aperture and delimits one of the sides of the latter.
  • Each blade 20 forms here a means for tearing the wound product.
  • the dispenser comprises a first inner space 1 for containing a first roll (not shown) of axis XX′ which is unwound through a first aperture 10 located in the lower part of the dispenser.
  • the arrow A shows the unwinding direction of the first roll through the aperture 10 .
  • a second roll of axis YY′ parallel to the axis XX′ of the first roll is arranged in a second inner space 2 of the dispenser.
  • the second inner space 2 is located below the first and in the vicinity of a second aperture 11 for the exit of the product forming the second roll of axis YY′.
  • the second roll is placed opposite the second aperture 11 .
  • the second aperture 11 has, in particular, a slot 110 parallel to the axis YY′ of the second roll.
  • the slot 110 has a length smaller than the width of the second roll, thus providing a narrowing and therefore a braking of the unwinding of the second roll when the latter passes through the slot 110 .
  • the sheet unwound through the second aperture 11 is extracted in the direction indicated by the arrow B.
  • the second aperture 11 may have the shape illustrated in FIG. 2 , namely the shape of a T, the “horizontal” branch of which is formed by the slot 110 and the “vertical” branch of which is formed by a second portion 120 perpendicular to the slot 110 and of greater width.
  • the portion 120 may, for example, enable the user to touch the outer surface of the second roll in order to bring about the displacement of the product in roll form.
  • the elongate slot 110 may advantageously have a length of between one third and half the width of the second roll.
  • the dispenser according to the invention may comprise a third aperture 12 located in the vicinity of the second aperture 11 and capable of being used alternatively to the second aperture 11 for the second roll.
  • the third aperture 12 is here in the form of an elongate slot parallel to the axis YY′, and it makes it possible to unwind the product forming the second roll according to the arrow B′ of FIG. 2 .
  • the second and third apertures 11 and 12 may be formed in and by virtue of a component 4 attached to the front face of the dispenser.
  • the component 4 may be positioned by any means known per se in the vicinity of the second roll and opposite an aperture in the front face of the dispenser.
  • the component 4 here comprises the second aperture 11 in the shape of a T, already described, and a lower edge 5 cut in the form of sawteeth, which forms one of the sides of the third aperture 12 .
  • the second side 6 of the third aperture 12 can be formed by a cut in the housing of the dispenser.
  • the second aperture 11 can advantageously be formed by means of a cut in the component 4 .
  • All the apertures may be formed, for example, by cutting in the housing forming the dispenser.
  • the first roll may be formed by an absorbent paper of the multi-purpose wipe type, and it is extracted from the dispenser via the first aperture 10 .
  • the second roll may be formed by plastic bags connected to one another by means of pre-cut lines.
  • the plastic bags may be extracted from the dispenser via the second aperture 11 or else via the third aperture 12 .
  • the dispenser may be used in service stations where both multi-purpose wipes (hand wipes, wiping products) and protective gloves against dirt are necessary.
