Description
June 22, 1941s., G, K, RQ WINZER 2,443,971
`.'PER MOISENER y Filed Dec. 1, 1945 IN V EN TOR. Gom-"REY KR. W/NZER ATTORNEY Patented June 22, 1948 Thisinventicn relates' to improvements in paper"` moisteners and has referencemoreparticularly toia mechanisrnfori-dispensing andmoistenng' j For purposev-rof cleanliness and sanitation;
toilet paper; instead of `being used dry,asis cus# tomary'sho'uld be' moistened` with an antiseptic' solutionfthat; preferablynalso L has' deodorant' properties;
It is the objectoffthisinventiongto produce a device for dispensing toilet paper which shall be of-"such constructionthat the' -paper,l'asrit is'fed from the roll, will first pass through amantiseptic liquidf-f.
Another object of this invention is to produce a devicefcfL the class describdeinwhich the dparts can be adjusted so as-v to` vary the time during which fthe paperis incontactwith the liquid.`
Afurther object ofthe-invention is toproA` duce a device in which means is provided for severing the paper in any desired` lengths.
A further object o'i the invention is to produce a device in which the means for varying the time of immersion is held in any desired position by means of a friction device.
And a further object of the invention is to produce a device in which means is provided for holding the end of the paper in a readily accessible position.
The above and other objects that may become apparent as this description proceeds are attained by means of a construction and an arrangement of parts that will now be described in detail and for this purpose reference will be had to the accompanying drawing in which the invention has been illustrated in its preferred form, and in which:
Figure 1 is a perspective view, partly broken away, showing the relative 4position of the elements;
Figure 2 is a section taken on vertical plane 2-2, Figure 1; and
Figure 3 is a fragmentary section taken along line 3 3, Figure 1.
In the drawing reference numeral 5 designates a tank having four vertical sides and a bottom. One of the end walls has been shown as bent outwardly as indicated at 6 to provide an inclined supporting surface. The upper edges of the other -lwalls Imay be do-ubled upon themselves as indicated at Supported on the ltank is a board-like member 8 which may be formed of wood, metal or anyother suitable material, but which, for the purpose or explanation, will .be considered as formed from wood. Member B will berefer'redto herein'afterasla cover;n The cover has a Vnotch 9 boundedonboth sides-by vmeans of fingers t i GL* The baseI vor" bottom of 4the 'notch is the=edgeV il: A rollei1 `i25i`s positioned between the inner walls of dirigersi! 6* and' is 'pivotally attached thelatter; Spac'edrearwardly uor `to the-leftas 'shownin-Figurel is anotherroller whichVA has* been designated by reference numeral l ils' This-is positionedin-*a transverseA slot I4 *and mounted for rotation aboutpivots i5;
Secured 'toA thetopr of the'-'cover, ypreferably'to the between slot i412 and notchf'isaa bracket l endsfoiffthe arms i?? arecurved inwardly as in.-
dicated at 9 and support a roller 28 that extends through the central opening in the roll. The bracket lcomprising parts l?, i8 and I9 is secure-d to the cover by any suitable means, but in the drawing the supporting member or base has been illust-rated as composed of a bottom 2-I and a top plate 22. The last mentioned plate -has an upwardly curved portion 23 in which part I8 is positioned. The base just described is secured to the cover by means of bolts 24. Another and similar bracket is secured to the under surface of the cover by a similar means and the parts have been given similar reference characters distinguished from the above by adding thereto the letter 0a. Extending across the notch 9, near the outer ends of ngers IU, is a serrated .blade 5 which may be formed `from a scroll saw blade or some similar article.
Let us now assume that the parts are assembled in the manner shown in Figures 1 and 2 and that the prospective user grasps the free end of the paper at 21 and exerts a tension thereon. The paper will move in response to this tension, passing downwardly from the roll IS through slot M, underneath roller 28, then upwardly over roller i2, as shown in the drawing. When a sufiicient length of paper has been withdrawn, it is moved upwardly against the serrated edge of the blade 25 and severed. The moist paper that projects beyond roller I2 will fall down onto and rest on the surface of projecting member 6. t
The paper best suited for use in connection with this apparatus is of the type usually referred to as crepe paper although other kinds of paper may be used.
The parts are so constructed that many of them are available on the market, as, for example, the brackets that hold the roll I6 and the roller 28 and this simplies the manufacture and reduces the cost of the article.
Attention in particular is directed to the fact that the parts designated by reference numerals 2| and 22 may be replaced by other equivalent elements as the present construction of these parts has been selected for the purpose of illustration.
The apparatus that has been described above can be attached to suitable brackets on the wall of a bathroom and used in the conventional manner.
Having described the invention what i's claimed as new is:
1. A paper strip moistener comprising, a tank, a cover therefor, the coverhaving a slot extending transversely thereof, a bracket secured to the under side of the cover, a roller carried by the lower end of the bracket with its axis parallel with the slot, one end of the icover having a notch, a cutter blade extending across the notch near the outer end thereof, a rol-1er mounted for rotation in the notch near the bottom thereof, a bracket projecting from the upper surface of the cover, for supporting a roll of paper With its axis parallel to the slot, the paper passing from the roll downwardly through the slot, thence underneath the roller in the tank, thence upwardly and over the roller in the notch, thence downwardly through the notch to a point below the blade.
2. A device in accordance with claim 1 in which there is an outwardly and downwardly projecting support for the paper near the inner end o1 the notch.
3. A device in accordance with claim 1 in which the downwardly extending bracket is mounted for pivotal adjustment about an axis positioned closely adjacent the underside of the cover and parallel with the slot. l
4. An assembly adapted to be supported on the top of a tank to form a removable lcovertherefor, comprising a board-like member of greater length than the tank, having one end provided with projecting fingers spaced to form a notch, a cutter blade extending across the notch near the outer end thereof and secured to the ends of the fingers, the outer edge of the blade being serrated, that part of the board that forms the closure for the tank having a transversely extending slot spaced from the bottom oi the notch, a paper roll supporting bracket secured to and extending upwardly from the cover, between the slot and the notch, a roller positioned between the iingers near the bottoni of the notch, a bracket secured to and projecting downwardly from the under side of the board, a roller carried by the last named bracket for rotation about an axis parallel with the slot, the paper from the roll passing downwardly through the slot, thence underneath the roller, thence upwardly through the notch, thence over the roller in the notch and thence downwardly to a point below the cutter blade.
