12 Claims.
Our invention relates to a dispenser for rolled sheet material and has particular reference to a holder and dispenser for surgical adhesive tape.
Adhesive tape of thetype commonly employed by physicians and surgeons for securing surgical dressings in place ordinarily comprises a cloth backing upon which is placed a very adhesive layer such asthe well known zinc oxide preparations. This tape is usually supplied to physicians, surgeons, hospitals and the like in the form of long sheets which are rolled upon a cardboard or paper cylinder.
Cons derable diiilculty is experienced in removing the' desired amount of such tape since the adhesive coating on the one side of the tape adheres very strongly to the next lower layer upon which it is Wound so that it is.very difllcult to unroll from the roll of tape the desired amount of such material. Furthermore, the cloth backing employed is usually a very strong material so that it is very diillcult to tear from the roll the desired amount of material, recourse being had to scissors or similar shearing devices for separating from the roll of material the desired length which has been unrolled therefrom. Difficulty is also experienced as a result of the tendencyof the adhesive material to adhere to the scissors or shears so that the cutting off operation is made very difilcult. Considerable dimculty is also experienced in keeping such rolls of adhesive tape free from dust, dirt, and the like since it is common practice to leave these rolls lying on instrument tables and the like in order that they may be ready at hand.
It is accordingly an object of our invention to provide a holder for rolled sheet material in which means is provided for cutting the sheet when any desired length has been removed from the roll.
It is also an'object of our invention to provide a holder and dispenser of the character set forth in the preceding paragraph which includes an enclosure for enclosing the roll of sheet material to exclude dust and dirt therefrom and which ready removal from the roll of the next desired quantity.
It is a still further object of our invention to provide a device ofthe character set forth hereinbefore which is neat and attractive in appearance and which may be manufactured at a low cost.
Other objects and advantages of our invention will be apparent from a study of the following specifications, read in connection with the accompanying drawing, wherein:
Fig. 1 is a perspective view of one form of holder and dispenser of our invention shown with the cover in the open position;
Fig. '2 is a cross sectional view taken substantially along the line IIII ofv Fig. 1 showing the relative positions of parts with the cover in the closed position;
Fig. 3 is a cross sectional view similar to Fig.
2 but showing the cover in the open position and the manner in which the cutter is mounted to effect a cutting of material removed from the 'roll;
Fig. 4 is a fragmentary view with parts shown in section to illustrate the details of construction employed in the mounting of the material supporting roller; and
'1- Fig. 5 is an enlarged fragmentary section taken also includes a readily openable cover to give acmoved from the roll, together with a means for holding the cut end of the material to permit substantially along the line V-V of Fig. 3 showing the details of construction of the cutter portion of our invention.
Referring to the drawing, we have illustrated in Fig. 1 the preferred embodiment ofour invention as including a supporting member or rod I upon which may be supported, as by sliding thereover, rolls 2 of sheet material, such as adhesive tape. The rod I may be supported in any desired position by employing bracket members engaged with the opposite ends of the rod I. In the form of the device illustrated herein, we employ also a mounting base 3 provided with apertures 4 and 5 permitting the use of screws or similar attaching means for securing the device to a wall or other supporting surface, the base 3 constituting a support for bracket members 6 and I which may also have circular portions 8 and 9 forming end closures for a housing ill, the housing Ill perferably having a cylindrical shape concentrically disposed relative to the rod I.
The supporting rod I is preferably in the form of a. light weight metal tubing as indicated in Fig. 4 and is made readily removable from the housing ill to permit the threading thereon of the rolls 2 of adhesive tape by employing a construction such as that illustrated in Fig.4. As
shown thereinopposite ends of the tubing I are fitted with plugs or closures H to which is amxed,
as by soldering or welding, short spindle members l2. These members are adapted to be received within a bore formed in a'sleeve ii, the sleeve member B being secured to the .bracket members 6 and I as by means of threads II and locked in place by lock nuts l5.
Each of the sleeve members I3 is preferably closed at its outer end as indicated at I and a compression spring Il interposed between this end and the end of the spindle members l2. This construction permits the tubing I to be forced to one side against the pressure of one of the springs II a sufficient distance to bring the opposite spindle member l2 out of the sleeve within which it is received so as to permit the end thus freed to be moved out of alignment with the sleeve and the entire assembly removed from the housing.
The housing II is also preferably fitted with a readily opena le closure member II which may comprise a partially cylindrical section having suflicient arcuate length to enclose an open side I! of the housing III. Opposite ends of the closure I! are provided with radial flange members which are in turn bored to receive the sleeves I: so that the closure ll may be moved in a pivotal fashion about the center of the housing II from an open position such as illustrated in Figs. 1 and 3 to a closed position'such as that illustrated in Fig. 2. Ready opening and closing of this closure member may be facilitated by bending a portion 2| thereof outwardly from the surface of its cylindrical shape to provide a handle portion.
Inasmuch as some sheet materials, such as surgical adhesive tape, must be cut in order to separate an unrolled portion from the body of rolled material, we prefer to provide a means for readily cutting oil such a removed portion. For this purpose we employ a cutter supporting bar or rail 2| which is also carried by the brackets 6 and 'l and disposed substantially parallel to the rod mil 2| comprises a rolled edge which extends along one longitudinal edge of the opening It. This rolled edge may be constructed along the lines indicated in Figs. 2 and 3 wherein the edge of the material of the housing III is shown bent inwardly and back upon itself to provide a substantially cylindrical bead extending full length of the edge 2|.
Between the under surface of this head and the inner surface of the housing III we provide an angle supporting member 22 which is securely attached to the body portion of the housing I and to the under surface of the bead as by welding or soldering. The upper surface of the edge or bead 2| is then slit for its full length to provide a slot or kerf 23 in which may be received a cutter or knife 24. The cutter or knife is preferably disposed in a vertical plane and provided with front and rear cutting edges 25 and 26. This knife is adapted to be moved along the length of the slot 23, it being guided in such movement by a substantially cylindrical guiding member 21 received within the bore formed by the rolled bead 2|. A handle 28 may be securely affixed to the upper protruding end of the cutter blade 24 so that the blade may be easily slid along the slot 23 from one end of the housing to the other, the handle 28 is preferably formed with laterally extending wings 281:, the under surfaces of which are curved to lie close to the upper surface of the bead 2|. These wings 28a serve to prevent accidental contact with the cutter and also to press In the form of device shown herein, thethe tape being cut down upon the bead while the tape is being severed by the cutting blade- It will thus be seen that rolled material may be pulled from the roll 2 and the end thereof brought downwardly to bring the material into contact with the top portion or ledge formed by the rolled bead 2|. The cutter 24 may 'then be moved along its slot 23 through'use of the handie 28 to sever that portion of the material which is disposed outside of the housing Ill from that which is attached to the roll 2. when the material comprising the rolled material 2 has an adhesive under surface such as is encountered in adhesive tape, the end thereof which is integral with the rolled material 2 will remain on the inner portion or ledge of the bead 2| in the manner illustrated in Fig. 2, thus permitting ready access to that material whenever it is desired to remove more from the roll 2. Furthermore with this type of tape, which is known to be difficult to cut, the adhesive side clings to bead 2|, upon both sides of the slot 23 whereby the tape is in effect supported by the bead under tension thus greatly facilitating cutting of the tape.
Inasmuch as continued use of the cutter 24 tends to eventually dull the cutting edges 25 and 2| thereof we prefer to make provision for the removal of the cutter so that the cutting edges may be re-sharpened. This may be readily accomplished by cutting off one end 29 of the bead 2| in the manner illustrated in Fig. 1 so that the cutter 24 may be moved beyond the end of the slot 23 to permit bodily removal of the cutter 24, guiding cylinder 21 and handle 28 from the apparatus.
From the foregoing it will be have provided a holder and dispenser for rolled sheet material which may be manufactured in a neat and attractive form and that the apparatus is provided with a readily openable cover so that the rolled sheet material may be kept covered at iaillk times and protected from dust, dirt, and the It will be further observed that the device of our invention provides for the ready cutting of removed portions of said material from the roll on which it is contained and that the cutting portions of the cutting device are completely enclosed so that accidental injury to persons using the device is obviated.
It will be furthermore observed that the type of construction illustrated permits the ready removal of the rolls from the holder and ready insertion of new rolls of material thereinto and that the type of cutter mounting which is employed operates to hold the ends of rolls of adhesive material in such position that they may be readily grasped for the purpose of removing additional amounts of such material from the rolls.
