Definitions
- the invention relates to an adapter for dispensers receiving coreless toilet paper rolls.
- toilet paper is wound up on board cores so as to facili ⁇ tate the mechanical winding operation and to obtain an accurately wound roll.
- the a- dapter has a receptacle, into which to place a coreless toilet paper roll, and at least one suspension arrangement for it to be fastened to conven ⁇ tional mountings of dispensers used for core-type toilet paper rolls.
- the adapter can be distributed in the scope of household supplies as a comparatively simple retrofit article to be manufactured at a low cost, or it can be added as an advertising supplement to multi ⁇ packs of coreless toilet paper rolls.
- the adapter will increase the acceptance of consumers towards the novel coreless toilet paper rolls, thus supporting the distribution of these environmentally acceptable rolls.
- Fig. 1 is a lateral view of an adapter with several dispensers of con ⁇ ventional design being roughly outlined, and Figs. 2 and 3 are plan views of the adapter in its position of mounting on different dispensers.
- the adapter 1 in the form of an injection-molded part has a substantially semicylindrical receptacle 2 open to the top, in ⁇ to which to place a coreless toilet paper roll 3.
- the receptacle 2 com ⁇ prises a semicylindrical casing wall 4 and approximately semicircular sidewalls 5, 6, which finish the receptacle 2 laterally.
- the sidewalls 5, 6 are provided with several triangular recesses 7 for material saving purposes.
- the adapter 1 is provided with various suspension arrangements 8, 8', by means of which it can be fastened to conventional mountings 9, 9', 9" of wall-mounted toilet paper dispensers 10.
- wall-mounted dispensers 10 have a fastening plate 12, which must be applied over its full surface on a wall 11, and from which the actual holding elements stick out.
- a typical wall-mounted dispenser 10 is shown by dash-dotted lines in Fig. 1 and illustrated in Fig. 2.
- Its mounting 9 consists of two lateral sheet metal brackets 13 of vertical direction, which project at right angles over the fastening plate 12, and which, viewed laterally, are substantially triangular, having a rounded free end 14. Upstream of this free end 14, the brackets 13 each have a bearing slot 15 open to the top and extending vertically, into which to place from above the axle stubs of a bearing spindle that passes through the core of a conventional toilet paper roll.
- the adapter 1 On its sidewalls 5, 6, the adapter 1 comprises insert pins 17, which are in alignment with each other axially and which stick out from the side walls 5, 6 centrally before of the upper edge 16; they can be inserted into the bearing slot 15 instead of the axle stubs.
- the adapter 1 can be fastened to this type of wall-mounted dispenser 10. So as to se ⁇ cure the position, shown in Figs. 1 and 2, of the adapter 1, the lower wall-side edge portion 18 of the latter's receptacle 2 has supporting pro ⁇ jections 19 formed by elongation pieces 20 and 21 integrally formed on the sidewalls 5, 6 or on the casing wall 4, respectively.
- the free ends 22 of the insert pins 17 can be provided each with a detachable cap 23 projecting over the diameter of the pin.
- Fig. 3 illustrates how, by means of its insert pins 17, the adapter 1 can be hooked in another type of mounting 9'.
- This other type of mounting 9' consists of two solid brackets 24, which again project horizontally and at right angles over the fastening plate 12, and of which only one is seen in Fig. 3.
- the free ends of the brackets 24 are provided with thickened heads 25 that have bottom holes 26 left open inwards. These bottom holes 26 can accommodate the ends of a telescopable beting axle of a conven ⁇ tional spindle taking up conventional core-type toilet paper rolls.
- the adapter 1 can be suspended in these bottom holes 26 with the aid of its insert pins 17, the latter being dis ⁇ posed on the sidewalls 5, 6 flexible to the inside of the receptacle 2.
- the two sidewalls 5, 6 only have to be pressed inwards towards each other for the insert pins 17 to snap into the bottom holes 26.
- Fig. 1 illustrates such a bow holder 29 bent from wire, of which the upper leg 30 is retained horizontally in a pivot bearing 31 on the fastening plate 12.
- the brace 32 forming the base of the U-shaped bow holder 29 extends approximately at right angles downwards and passes into the lower leg 33 of the bow holder 29 which engages with the core of conventional toilet paper rolls.
- this lower leg 33 lodges in a hook-in-type eye 34 of reduced size of the hook-in-type eyelets 28.
- the latter are lev ⁇ el with the two sidewalls 5, 6 by arms 35, 36 being integrally formed on the latter.
- the hook-in-type eyelets 28 For the assembly of the adapter 1 not only with thin bow holders 29 bent from wire, but with thicker, plastic injection molded bow holders, the hook-in-type eyelets 28 have a hook-in-type eye 37 of increased size in addition to the hook-in-type eye 34 of reduced size.
- the lower leg 38 of such a thicker bow holder is outlined by a dot-dashed line.
- the adapter 1 may be used even with wall-mounted dispensers that have a holding-down plate 39 for the toilet paper roll 3.
- the outlet-side edge 40 of the receptacle 2 is in the form of a tear-off edge, as roughly outlined by the teeth 41 seen in Figs. 2 and 3.
- the two edges 44, 45 defining the passage 43 to the top and to the bottom serve as a tear-off edge.
