Definitions

  • the portions connecting the tongues to the rest of the strip extend at right angles to the longitudinal direction of the strip.
  • the tongues have narrow ends extending in the discharge direction of the strip.
  • the strip is guided by a unit which guides the tongues in a different direction from that in which the strip is guided so as to facilitate the operation of a tear-off unit.
  • the object of this invention has therefore primarily been the creation of a device which is particularly reliable in operation and also has a simple construction.
  • the device is designed in accordance with theclaims.
  • FIG. 1 shows a perspective view of a first constructional version of the invention, with the casing indicated by chain lines.
  • FIG. 2 shows the discharge portion of the casing, viewed from the free end of the strip, the cover being raised.
  • FIG. 3 shows a somewhat modified constructional version of the invention, the cover of the casing being indicated by chain lines.
  • FIG. 4 shows in perspective a second constructional version of the invention, in which the casing and/or the cover may be of the throw-away type.
  • FIG. 5 shows in perspective a plastic component, most conveniently made by injection moulding, which forms part of the constructional version according to FIG. 4.
  • FIG. 6 shows in a side view and partly in section a third embodyment of the device according to the invention.
  • the casing and the cover are constructed so that together they form a discharge and tear-off device for the strip.
  • the cover 2 has a portion 8, the. orientation of which may be parallel to a tangent to the roll which the strip 4 forms. This portion is connected to a vice is used, is substantially parallel to the portion 8 but is situated at some distance from this, so that there is between these parts a gap through which the strip can pass.
  • the part 12, as seen in FIG. 2, is connected to a tongue 13 which is substantially an extension of the part 12.
  • the greatest width of the'tongue 13 which, as seen in the Figure, is appropriately wider at its base than at its free end, is less than the greatest width of the flaps 6.
  • the tongue extends almost up to the inside of the portion 9 of the cover which is pointing downwards, i.e., in such a way that there is formed a gap through which the strip can pass.
  • the tongue is connected by means of portions 14a, 14b, which are constructed as tear-off devices, to the side walls 15a, 15b of the casing which, together with the tongue 13, constitute the second portion of the said guide.
  • the cover 2 In the position in which it is used, the cover 2 is lowered over the casing as shown in FIG. 1.
  • the strip has been passed through the horizontal guide formed by the surfaces 8,12 and the upper parts of 15a, 15b and through the'vertical guide formed by the surface 9, the end portion of the tongue 13 and guide projections, not shown, on the inside of the side faces 11 of the cover.
  • the clap 6 When it is desired to tear off a queuing ticket, the clap 6 is to be gripped and the strip pulled downwards by means of this. The causes the strip to move first horizontally and then'vertically. When the strip has been pulled forward so far that the width of the opening formed by the punched lines 5a,5b exceeds the width of the tongue 13, the strip itself will be deflected in such a way that in its final position,'as shown in FIG. 1, in which the width of the flap 6 is practically the same as that of the tongue 13 at its base, the strip is deflected about this base portion.
  • the strip' When the queuing ticket, which thus consists of a flap 6 and strip material up to the next flap, has been torn off, the strip'is again in its initial position and a new queuing ticket can immediately be drawn forward.
  • the strip can in a known manner be provided with the desired wording and a queuing number, ticket number or similar 17. It is also possible, for instance, to provide two flaps in the shape of right-angled triangles situated side by side and facing opposite ways, etc.
  • the lower horizontal guide for the strip does not consist of continuous partsbut is made up of a preferably resilient rear tongue 18 which is attached to the inside of the casing l or is made integral with this, and a front part 19 which is appropriately part of the front wall of the casing and comprises the cutting edges 20a, 20b corresponding to the edges 14a,14b in FIG. 1 and a tongue 21 corresponding to the tongue 13, but, contrary to this, positioned at an angle.
  • the upper parts of the tongues 18, 21 will thus form the bottom part of the horizontal guide for the strip.
  • the cutting edges 20a,20b are situated at a level below this.
  • the tongue 18 can abut onto the part 8, and by pressing the strip against this part 8, can give rise to a frictional force which prevents unintentional retraction of the strip into the casing.
  • the invention also makes possible production of discharge appliances at an extremely low cost, whereby the whole appliance or part thereof may consist of a throw-away article.
  • a device particularly designed for the sale of tickets at sporting and similar events, is shown in FIG. 4.
  • the casing consists of a simple cardboard box 22.
  • This box at the same time serves as a container for the strip 4 which, as in the constructional version described earlier, is appropriately in the shape of a roll and is made in the same way.
  • the box is closed by a cover 23 which extends outside the box and has a slot in one of its end walls.
  • An injection moulded part 24 is attached to the cover and the two parts together serve as the guides for the strip.
  • the component comprises a first flat portion 25 which is to abut onto one front wall 26 of the box.
  • the arcuate portion 27 is provided with resilient projections 29a, 2% which are directed upwards and are also arcuate, the top parts of which are situated at approximately the same level as the top part of the tongue 28 and press the strip against the cover by a spring force.
  • the cutting edges 26a, 26b are situated at a lower level. The method of operation of this device is in complete agreement with that described earlier.
  • the strip roll is unrolled clockwise whereas in FIG. 6, the strip roll is unrolled counter-clockwize.
  • the discharge device according to FIG. 6 has semicircular guide means 60, arranged inside the cover 2.
  • the end 61 of said guide means 60 extend below the front end of said cover and form front stops for the strip roll.
  • the casing 1 carries correspondingly formed guide means 62 and from FIG. 6 it is obvious that the strip roll rests against the guide means 62.
  • Said guide means 60,62 constitute a support for the strip roll as well as limiting surfaces for said strip roll.
  • the discharge and cut off means for the strip according to the embodyment in FIG. 6 constitutes a portion arranged inside the front part of the cover 2 and consisting of a slightly directed, inner portion 63, transcending into a curved part 64 and terminating in a downwardly directed portion 65, extending below the front part of the cover 2.
  • the guiding means arranged in the casing constitutes a inclined path 66 transcending in its front part into a upwardly directed tongue 68 via a shoulder 67.
  • the tongue 68 has the generally shaping and function of e.g. the tongue 13 in FIG. 2, thus having edges 69 forming tear off devices.
  • the guiding means bear on or almost bear on the up side of the strip 4.
  • a narrow discharge gap is formed between the guide means 65 of cover 2 and the upwards directed front part of the tongue 68.
  • the function of this embodyment is exactly in accordance with the examples of FIGS. 1 and 4.
