Definitions

  • Electric motor driven means are provided for driving a delivery roller so that this withdraws a predetermined length of handtowel from a supply and dispenses it. At the same time, a predetermined length of used handtowel is also unwound from a used handtowel roll.
  • the loop of handtowel formed by the fresh and used handtowel lengths so dispensed hangs out of the casing during a predetermined time after which the motor driven means automatically operate to wind the handtowel up on the used handtowel roll until it is again tensioned over the casing (or until, eventually, the entire end section of the handtowel is wound up).
  • the invention relates to a webform handtowel dispenser having a delivery roller over which is delivered the web-form handtowel coming from a supply, and having a wind-up roller for drawing in and winding up used handtowel on to a used handtowel roll.
  • Web-form handtowel dispensers have also become known in which the handtowel is normally closely tensioned across the casing between a delivery slit and a take-in slit.
  • the user can draw a handtowel loop out of the casing to dry the hands. This loop hangs freely from the casing for a predetermined time and is then automatically drawn into the latter so that the handtowel is again tensioned as explained.
  • the end handtowel section is similarly drawn in after the final use.
  • a separate mechanical handtowel store is provided in the casing.
  • the aim of the invention is the provision of a web-form handtowel dispenser of the kind described above which solves the problem explained by automatically drawing in the handtowel loop after each use, in a simple, cheap fashion, which is less susceptible to faults and requires less space than known constructions and, moreover, provides additional advantages. Moreover, at each use, a similar predetermined length of fresh handtowel should be delivered; an incomplete actuation, which can bring problems in the known dispensers, should therefore be impossible. As the user normally uses the front part of the handtowel loop nearest to him, used handtowel should be unwound from the used handtowel roll simultaneously with the delivery of fresh handtowel, likewise always in a similar length which is preferably less than the length of fresh handtowel.
  • the web-form handtowel dispenser according to the invention is characterised by electric motor driven driving devices for driving both the delivery roller and the wind-up roller, the wind-up roller being drivable both in the wind-up direction and in the opposite direction; means actuatable directly or indirectly by hand to switch on the drive for the delivery roller and to switch on the drive for the wind up roller to drive the latter in the said opposite direction; means for switching off the drive to the wind-up roller after unwinding of a predetermined length of handtowel from the used handtowel roll; means for switching off the drive to the delivery roller after the delivery of a similarly predetermined length of handtowel; a timing device and means for switching on the drive to the wind-up roller in the windup direction after the expiry of a predetermined time; and means for switching off the drive to the wind-up roller after winding up of a length of handtowel corresponding to the sum of the handtowel lengths previously unwound from the used handtowel roll and delivered over the delivery roller.
  • the driving devices can include worm gears so that the delivery roller and wind-up roller cannot be turned by hand, by drawing on the handtowel, when the drives are switched off.
  • the means for switching on the drive to the delivery roller and for switching on the drive for the wind-up roller in the direction opposite to the wind-up direction can be actuatable by drawing on the handtowel.
  • the driving device for the wind-up roller can conveniently bring out of operation a smoothing bar for the handtowel travelling to the used handtowel roll so that this bar does not hinder unwinding.
  • the bar can then subsequently be automatically brought into its operative position atthe commencement of winding up by the driving device.
  • the wind-up roller can bear against the periphery of the used handtowel roll as in the known dispensers.
  • the delivery of fresh handtowel over the delivery roller and the unwinding of used handtowel can be simultaneously switched on and off, the lengths of fresh and used handtowel delivered can then always remain in a constant relation independent of the diameter of the used handtowel roll.
  • the wind-up roller can also form the core of the used handtowel roll, which makes for additional economy of space since the used handtowel roll can grow into the space initially occupied by the handtowel supply.
  • a separate measuring roller can be arranged in contact with the used handtowel to terminate the unwinding of used handtowel.
  • Termination of the winding up of used handtowel can be effected by means of a switch which can be actuated by a sensing member responding to the tension of the handtowel travelling to the wind-up roller as soon as the handtowel is again tensioned over the casing.
  • a further sensing device can be provided to switch off the wind-up drive, the device responding to the passing of the end of the handtowel (after entry into the casing). Instead of this the wind-up drive can simply be automatically switched off after a predetermined time.
  • the driving device for the wind-up roller can additionally be used in advantageous manner to wind up on to the used handtowel roll a small remainder of handtowel web present in the supply for a purpose to be described.
  • the drive for the delivery roller can likewise be switched on or the latter can be released from its driving device.
  • the web-form handtowel dispenser can, without difficulty, be so constructed that changing of the handtowel can be effected in the same, usual and often employed manner as in web-form handtowel dispensers which are usual nowadays without automatic drawing
  • Mechanical completely separate driving devices with separate electric motors can be provided for the delivery roller and for the wind-up roller. Obviously it is however also possible to drive both rollers from a single electric motor and to arrange appropriate couplings in the driving devices to switch the drive on and off.
  • the arrangement may be such that renewed switching on of the drive for the delivery roller and the drive for the wind-up roller in the unwinding direction is prevented until the whole of the described cycle of use has been performed and the used handtowel is wound up.

  • FIG. 5 is the same as FIG. 4 but with the parts in a different position.
  • the illustrated web-form handtowel dispenser comprises a casingv having a rear wall 1, an upper casing part 2 pivotally mounted on the rear wall and a lower casing part 3 which is also pivotally mounted on the rear wall 1.
  • the rear wall 1 can be secured to a wall of a toilet room. It carries inside the casing two parallel lateral mounting plates 4, only one of which is visible in FIG. 1.
  • a dispensing or delivery roller 5 having an axle 5a is turnably mounted between the mounting plates 4.
  • Web-form handtowel material the path of which is denoted by chain dotted line 7, is guided from a handtowel supply 6, in the form of a roll lying in the bottom casing part 3, over the dispensing roller 5 and through a frontal slit 8 in the casing.
  • the axle 5a of the dispensing roller 5 carries a toothed wheel 9 which meshes with a toothed wheel 10 on an intermediate shaft 1 1.
  • An electric motor 12 fixed to the mounting plate 4 carries on its shaft a worm 13 which engages with a wormwheel 14 also fixed to the intermediate shaft 11.
  • the shaft of the motor 12 and the worm 13 are axially slidable to a limited extent; they can be displaced against a spring biassing by drawing on the handtowel leaving the dispensing roller 5 to actuate a switch 15 arranged in alignment with the shaft.
  • a take-up and wind-up roller 16 the axle of which is coupled to an axle 16a is also turnably mounted between the mounting plates 4.
  • the take-up roller which is releasably connected with the mounting plates and is removable, forms the core of a used handtowel roll 17.
  • used handtowel can be drawn in through a rear casing slit l8 and rolled up onto roll 17.
  • the axle 16a of the take-up roller 16 carries a toothed wheel 19 which meshes with a toothed wheel 21 on an intermediate shaft 20.
  • a wormwheel 22 is also mounted on intermediate shaft 20 and engages with a worm 23 on the shaft of a second electric motor 24.
  • the driving devices for the dispensing roller. 5 and the take'up roller 16 are schematically illustrated in FIG. 2 together with the electrical control devices for the motors l2 and 24. They will now be explained together with the manner. of operation of the web-form handtowel dispenser.
  • the handtowel When the dispenser is in the rest condition ready for operation, the handtowel is tensioned across the lower casing part 3 between the dispensing slit 8 and the intake slit 18.
  • the tensioned handtowel which was used by a previous user cannot therefore be used directly by a subsequent user.
  • a push button switch 25 (FIG. 2) could be provided which would have to be or could be operated by the user.
  • electric control means 25a e.g. light barrier, approach or contact switches which are actuated by hand (by interruption of the light beam, proximity of the hand in the sensing zone or contact of a push button) to close this contact.
  • This output signal of the OR-gate 26 is also delivered to an AND-gate 29 the other input of which normally receives a signal from a delay and reversing circuit 30.
  • the output of AND-gate 29 therefore delivers, by way of an OR-gate 31, a signal to motor 12 so that it drives the dispensing roller 5 to draw fresh handtowel from the supply 6 and deliver it through the slot 8.
  • this circuit delivers to the AND-gate 29 the delayed and reversed output signal of the OR-gate 26, which means that the second input signal of this AND-gate 29 disappears and also that the output signal of the AND-gate 29 is interrupted.
  • motor 12 continues to run because it has in the meantime received a signal from a normally closed switch 32 by way of the OR-gate 31 (the switch 32 is held open in a manner to be described only when the dispenser is at rest).
  • the output signal of the OR-gate 26 is further delivered to an AND-gate 35 by way of an AND-gate 33, the other input of which is connected to a normally closed switch 34.
  • This AND-gate 35 is normally held open by a reversing circuit 36'and passes on the signal to the motor 24 in such manner that this latter drives the takeup roller 16 in the unwinding direction to unwind used handtowel from roll 17 and deliver it through slit 18.
  • a smoothing bar 38 is fixed to levers 37 which are pivotally mounted on the lower casing part 3. This bar is lifted so as not to hinder unwinding and delivery of used handtowel.
  • a ring 39 is fixed to the shaft of motor 24, being provided with an outer thread which engages with an inner thread in a bush 40 which is fixed against rotation.
  • ring 39 screws the bush 40 upwardly until the ring 39 arrives in an unthreaded bore section 41 at the lower end of the bush, where it continues to turn.
  • the bush takes with it, by way of a connecting link 42, the smoothing bar 38 so that the latter is moved away from the rear wall 1.
  • a turnably mounted measuring roller 44 is disposed in contact with the periphery of the used handtowel roll 17 between pivoted levers 43.
  • a co-axial threaded bore in the roller 44 engages with a screw disposed coaxially with respect to the roller.
  • the roller 44 is then screwed off from the screw and turns adjacent the latter (being held in contact with the screw by a spring).
  • the measuring roller is screwed onto the associated screw and thereby axially displaced until, after a predetermined number of turns corresponding to a predetermined length of handtowel delivered from roll 17, it contacts a switch 34 (FIG. 2) and actuates the same.
  • Actuation of the normally closed switch 34 blocks the AND-gate 33 and thereby switches off motor 24. Delivery of used handtowel from roll 17 thus terminates as soon as a predetermined length of handtowel has been unwound.
  • Switching off of motor 12 results from the normally closed switch 32 being opened by means of a cam 45 .carried on the intermediate toothed wheel 10, which opens the switch 32 after one revolution of the intermediate gearwheel (and holds it open in the rest condition of the handtowel dispenser).
  • the dispensing roller 5 has then performed approximately 1.8 revolutions. Delivery of fresh handtowel by the dispensing roller 5 thus terminates as soon as a predetermined length 0 handtowel has been dispensed.
  • a greater length of handtowel is always dispensed from dispensing roller 5 than the length of handtowel unwound from roll 17 to ensure that the front part of the handtowel loop adjacent the user and also the lower part of the loop are of fresh handtowel.
  • the arrangement may be such that the motor 24 is switched off as soon as about centimetres of handtowel has been unwound from roll 17, whilst the motor 12 is switched off after delivering approximately 27 centimetres of handtowel over roller 5. After the motors l2 and 24 have been switched off a handtowel loop hangs down from the dispenser on which the user drys his or her hands.
  • a delay device 49 transfers the output signal of the OR-gate 26 to an AND-gate 50 which is held open by the output signal of the AND-gate 27 and therefore transfers the signal to the motor 24. Simultaneously the signal from the delay device 49 cuts off the gate35 through reversing circuit 36. The signal delivered to motor 24 from AN D- gate 50 turns the motor in the wind-up direction.
  • motor 24 is again switched off by means of a normally closed switch 52, which is opened by a contact member 53 moved by the handtowel itself as soon as the latter is tensioned across the lower part of the casing. Opening of switch '52 cuts off the AND- gate'28 so that its output signal disappears and also the AND-gate 27 is cut off and for its part cuts off the AND-gate 50. The self-latching between gates 26 and 27 is released in this way.
  • the signal derived from the delay device 49 is also fed to AND-gate 28 by way of a reversing and delay circuit 54 so that the signal delayed in circuit 54 cuts off AND-gate 28 after the expiry of a predetermined time even when the switch 52 is not operated and therefore remains closed. It is also possible to omit circuit 54 and instead to cut off the AND-gate with a sensing device, e.g., a mechanical contact member or a light beam or the like, which detects the passing of the end of the handtowel.
  • a sensing device e.g., a mechanical contact member or a light beam or the like
  • circuit 54 it would be possible, by using circuit 54 in certain circumstances to omit switch 52 with sensing member 53 and also the AND-gate 28 and cut off the AND-gate 27 directly by means of circuit 54 after the expiry of a predetermined draw-in time.
  • a sensing member can be employed to contact either the supply itself or the used handtowel roll 17.
  • the roller 44 and pivoted levers 43 can be used as sensing means.
  • an actuating member 56 can be fixed to one of the two pivoted levers, which member operates a switch 57 as soon as the roll 17 reaches a predetermined diameter (determined by the position of member 56).
  • the switch 57 can e.g., operate a signal lamp. Moreover it is possible by means of switch 57 to operate an aural warning signal. Such optical or aural signalling means of one or more handtowel dispensers can be arranged at a remote centre to simplify supervision. Instead of such an electrical signalling device it is possible, in order to save power, particularly in the case of battery operation, to provide a mechanically actuated indicating member. (It will be appreciated that the supply of the electrical and if necessary electronic control devices and the electric motors in the described dispenser can be effected from a power line or from batteries which may be rechargeable).
  • the service or cleaning personnel can change the handtowel in advance e.g. during the daily cleaning of a toi let.
  • the small remainder of handtowel in the supply 6 is first wound on to roll 17 which can be quickly and effortlessly effected in simple manner due to the electric motor drive provided.
  • the servicing person needs simply to press an additional push button 58 which is actuatable by hand and which directly energises motor 24in the wind up direction and simultaneously also directly energises the motor 12.
