F. L. BROEREN PAPER DISPENSER m m, m.
Filed April 11, 1934 I Patented Jan. 14, 1936 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE PAPER DISPENSER Application April 11, 1934, Serial No. 720,026
1 Claim.
An object of this invention is to provide an improved and simplified form of device for dispensing interfolded paper sheets, particularly waxed paper sheets.
This and other objects, as will hereinafter appear, are accomplished by this invention which is fully described in the following specification and shown in the accompanying drawing, in which- Figure l is a perspective view of a dispenser embodying this invention;
Fig. 2 is an enlarged side elevation of the edges of interfolded sheets; and
Fig. 3 is an enlarged transverse vertical section through the dispenser.
This invention relates particularly to a device for dispensing wax paper for use in delicatessens, grocery stores, meat markets, or the like, for wrapping meats, cheese, etc. Because of the slippery nature of the wax paper thesheets have a tendency to slide over each other much more readily, and provision must be made for this as will later appear.
The device consists essentially of a container Ill, preferably rectangular in form, having a hinged cover Ill and a front II having a transverse horizontal slot I2. Behind the front are located two members I3, I4 which terminate at the horizontal slot I2, the outer surfaces of which are provided with raised portions I3 I4 both of said members sloping generally toward the slot I2.
The sheets to be dispensed are interfolded, as shown in Fig. 2, and placed in stacks. Thus the sheet A is in the form of a V with the bottom of the V at the bottom of the sheet, the next sheet B being similarly formed but inverted so that the bottom of the V is now at the top of the sheet, the sheet B enclosing the trailing end of the sheet A and the forward end of the next sheet A. The sheets A and B continue to alternate in this same manner.
When placed in the dispenser the sheets rest upon a bottom I5 which is preferably inclined toward the front and are pressed against the front, as will later be described. On inserting the sheets the forward end of the sheet A is passed through the slot I2, as shown in Fig. 3. The sheets are pressed toward the front preferably by means of a plate It to which is attached two lugs I-"I, between which are journaled a roller I8 which Is preferably placed near the center of the plate I6 and which rolls on the inclined bottom I5. Thus the weight of the roller which is quite heavy tends to force the plate I8 constantly toward the front of the dispenser compressing the stack of paper sheets against the surfaces I3 I l but leaving the centers of these sheets relatively free to flex.
In order to insure the generally upright position of the plate I6, 2. stop I9 is secured thereto about the roller.
which has a lower corner I9 which will engage the bottom I5 if the plate is rocked backward On the other hand, if the plate has a tendency to rock forward, the lower edge IS of the plate will engage the bottom and the weight of the roller will tend to return the plate to its normal vertical position.
Thus with the free edge of the first sheet as A extending through the slot I2, the operator grasping this forward edge can pull the sheet through the slot and it will draw the downwardly extending forward edge of the next interfolded sheet B through the slot, so that when the sheet A (Fig. 3) is removed from the dispenser the next sheet B will have a downwardly extending edge, as shown in dotted lines, which in turn can be pulled to remove it from the slot, and it in turn will draw the next forward edge of a sheet A through the slot.
Owing to the slippery nature of the wax paper a pull on the forward edge of the sheet A tends to lift the trailing end of the sheet A and the sheet B. To overcome this tendency I have placed stops 20, preferably one at each side of the dispenser, which overlie the stack of paper sheets and which extend a short distance thereover so as to prevent any tendency of the sheets to rise as the sheets A are withdrawn.
A hook 2| is attached to the upper portion of the plate I6 whereby the plate may be hung conveniently on the edge of the rear wall of the con tainer out of the way in order to facilitate the refilling of the container with sheets to be dispensed.
While I have shown and described but a single embodiment of my invention, it is to be understood that it is capable of many modifications. Changes, therefore, in the construction and arrangement may be made which do not depart from the spirit and scope of the invention as disclosed in the appended claim.
I claim:
A dispenser for stacked sheets of paper comprising a container of boxlike formation having front and back walls and side walls, the front wall having a transversely extending slot formed therein for the withdrawal of sheets singly and adjacent which said sheets are held in facewise relation, an inclined floor adapted to have the sheets stacked thereon, a follower plate normally standing vertically, a roller behind the follower plate and journalled at its ends thereto in position to normally roll with its full free surface upon the inclined floor and hold the follower plate in elevated relation thereto and permit the follower plate to tilt in order to adapt its surface to the stack of sheets, and means associated with the follower plate for limiting the extent of said tilting.
