Definitions
- ABSTRACT A dual, power driven dispenser for dispensing rolled material such as paper. Two power driven rolls are provided, each being operable by a manual control which also opens one of two dispensing doors for the web or strip of paper which is being dispensed. The web is torn off after the door closes.
- a single drive motor is provided for operating both the power driven rollers through two separate gear trains. Each gear train is brought into driving engagement with the motor when its respective roller is to be driven.
- Each manual handle embodies an adjustable key member and a mechanism to make possible manual operation without driving either power driven roller.
- the invention relates to power operated dispensing apparatus, particularly for rolled material such as plastic wrap or film, metallic foil, waxed paper, and the like.
- the invention is an improvement with respect to the dispenser of US. Pat. No. 3,384,280.
- the herein invention is a dual paper dispenser having within it dual assemblies of power driven rollers, idler rollers, and manual operating means whereby material can be dispensed from either of two different supplies of rolled material in the apparatus through separate dispensing openings or doors.
- the dispenser is a dual machine
- an important characteristic of it is that it has only a single electric drive motor and gear train mechanisms whereby the motor can drive either of the two power driven rollers under manual control.
- Each gear train is brought into meshing driving engagement with the electric motor when paper is to be dispensed from its respective supply roll.
- a manual control handle is provided for each of the dual assemblies, whereby either assembly is caused to dispense a web of material from its supply roll.
- Manual handles control the opening of the dispensing doors and the energization of the driving motor and the drive of drive rollers.
- an adjustable key member which can be positioned for manual operation of its respective dispensing assembly.
- the primary object of the invention is to achieve and realize a dual dispenser of this type wherein the web of material can be selectively dispensed from either of two supply rolls.
- the supply rolls are of course easily replaceable. With two assemblies, the probability of both rolls being exhausted at the same time is very markedly reduced. Additionally, it is possible to have supply rolls of two different materials in the cabinet or housing of the apparatus.
- a further object of the invention is to make is possible to be able to drive both of the drive rollers in a unit from a single electric motor and to provide simplified mechanism so that individual drive rollers can be brought in to driving connection with the electric motor under manual control when it is desired to dispense from that particular assembly.

- Formed in the rear edge of inner end wall 17 are angular slots 132 and 132 adapted to receive rods 134 spacer flange on one side as shown. It has another lug 231 which is engaged by a radial surface on member 238 (as will be described) so that torque is applied to shaft 218 at two points to cause it to planetate, as will be described.
- the end of shaft 206 journals in support member 234 as man be seen in FIG. 4.
- Numeral 238 designates a manual control actuator having a radially extending divided or split actuating handle 240 which receives a control key 242 having a configuration as shown in FIG. 13 including the radial extending projection 246.

- On hub 264 is a torsion spring 282, one end 284 of which attaches to extending arm 272 and the other end 286 of which is secured to support 234 as may be seen in FIG. 4.
- the body part of cam member 262 has slot 290 in it.
- Projection 246 on key 242 is adapted to engage in this slot in order to thereby couple the manual control member 238 and handle 240 to cam 262 for rotating it in order to bring arm 272 into engagement with contact 274 to make contact between this contact and the contact member 276 for energizing motor 160 from the battery or batteries 292293.
- the batteries are shown in FIG. 2 positioned between upper and lower spring contact clips 295 and 296 and held in position by the integral side support bracket members 300, 301, 302, and 303.
- FIGS. 2 and 9 the control handles are in the upper positions and the doors are closed.
- FIGS. 5, 6, 10, and 11 illustrate operation of the lower of the dual assemblies.
- FIG. 5 shows handle 240' rotated in a counterclockwise direction. Key 242 is in and the handle rotates cam 262' so that arm 272 closes contacts 274' and 276 to energize the motor.
- Gear 220' is rotated in a planetary manner about the center of gear 224. The gear 220' comes into engagement with gear 186 being driven by the motor. Thus, gear 224 is driven and the lower drive roller is driven so as to drive and dispense the web of material outwardly as illustrated in FIG. 10.
- Cam 108' which is driven with the drive roller, has moved from the position of FIG. 9 to that of FIG. 10.
- cam follower 106' In the position of FIG. 9, cam follower 106' is in a position as shown relative to the notch 150 and cam 108 and this causes cam follower 106 and the lower idler roller and the entire frame 60' to be lifted so that the lower edge of frame 60' is lifted upwardly with respect to the serrated or toothed edge of knife blade 58 adjacent lip 126.
- cam follower 106 has entered the notch 150' allowing the idler roller and frame 60' to move downwardly relative to door 40 so that the lower edge of frame 60' strips any accumulation from knife edge 58' and forms a protective guard.
- Either of the doors may be manually opened by its respective manual actuator without driving a driving roller. This is illustrated in FIGS. 6, 7, 8, and 11.
- the key such as key 242' in FIG. 6 is retracted radially so that its extending projection 246 would not engage in notch 290' in cam 262.
- This handle 240 is rotated into a position as shown in FIG. 6.
- Cam 262 is not rotated and its related contacts are not closed and the motor is not energized.
- Manual controller 238 is nevertheless rotated as before in a counterclockwise direction in a greater angular amount as illusrrated in FIG. 6 so that gear 220' is orbited in planetary fashion past gear 186, as shown.
- door cam 108' is rotated as illustrated in FIG. 11 to a position in which cam follower 106' can disengage entirely from notch
- the idler roller and the drive roller separate from contact as shown, and the door can freely swingoutwardly as illustrated. From this position, the door can be manually closed, if desired.
- Apparatus for dispensing a roll of sheet material comprising: a housing adapted to contain rolls of sheet material to be dispensed; the housing having dispensing doors and rotatably mounted drive rolls adjacent the doors; power means selectively driving the drive rolls; and manually operable means for selectively opening a door and causing an individual drive roll to operate to dispense paper from the open door, said power means comprising a single electric motor and selective drive means responsive to the manual operating means for causing only said individual drive roll to be operated when its respective operating handle is actuated.
- said selective means includes means operable by operating handles to energize said motor and to bring about driving engagement between the motor and the respective drive roller.
