Definitions

  • Dispensers of this type for example for rolls of toilet paper, are intended for two or more rolls, one roll being in use position and other rolls in reserve position, and the latter being moved into use position when the preceding roll is finished and its empty core is removed from the dispenser.
  • CH-A-404 124 describes a somewhat simpler but still relatively complicated mechanism using levers and pendulum-type arrangements.
  • a roll in reserve position is held in place by two opposite projecting support arms, each on its own pendulum-type arrangement, arranged on either side of the roll.
  • the pivoting spindles of these are arranged on levers which are held in place by a roll in use position.
  • the levers are freed and the weight of the roll in reserve position presses said support arms in a direction outwards from the inner space of the dispenser at the same time as the pivoting spindle of the pendulum-type arrangement is moved.
  • the construction does not appear especially reliable, and there is a risk that the rolls will catch on the support arms on their way down from reserve position to use position.
  • US-A-4, 383,657 discloses a dispenser for two rolls of paper where the lower roll slides freely against the bottom of the dispenser housing and an inclined rear edge in such a way that it is advanced into feed-out position against a withdrawal opening provided with a tearing edge.
  • the upper roll is prevented from dropping down by the upper part of a lever.
  • the user presses on the lower part of the lever, which is designed as a pressure plate.
  • the empty core is then pressed through an opposite hole, and the stop lug at the top of the lever is moved aside in such a way that the upper roll can drop down.
  • EP-A-0 034 121 discloses a paper dispenser for a number of rolls arranged one above another, where the roll located in use position adjacent to the withdrawal opening rests on a rocking plate. When the roll is finished, it is possible, by pressing on a part of the rocking plate projecting from the withdrawal opening, to cause the latter to fold upwards, on the one hand the empty core being pressed out through the withdrawal opening and on the other hand a retaining device, which holds a roll in reserve position, being moved aside in such a way that the reserve roll can drop down into use position.
  • US-A-2, 839,346 describes an arrangement in which a roll in reserve position automatically drops down into use position when the empty core of a finished roll is taken out of the use position.
  • This document discloses a dispenser for two rolls, where the reserve roll is held in place by a retaining means which is acted on by the lower roll which presses on a spring-loaded tongue.
  • This tongue is connected firmly to an upwardly extending wire, the upper portion of which is arranged inside the side edge of a tippable stop washer for supporting it when the spring-loaded tongue is pressed in by a roll in use position.
  • a roll in reserve position therefore rests on the stop washer.
  • the tongue springs out and brings said wire out of engagement with the stop washer which then tips downwards and lets a roll down from the reserve position into the use position.
  • the tongue then returns counter to the action of the spring, and the wire pivots back and lifts the stop washer into the support position, in which it can support a new reserve roll.
  • the roll rests on two elongate rotatable rollers at the bottom of the dispenser housing.
  • the dispenser described in the last-mentioned publication includes a fragile mechanism which will not withstand the wear which occurs when dispensers are used in public toilets. It is also awkward and difficult to reach the empty core from the narrow withdrawal opening.
  • Swedish patent application 9800651-3 describes a dispenser for a number of rolls, where a roll in use position is held in place between a casing (housing) and a spring-loaded dished plate which is provided with an edge flange running all the way round for supporting the roll in use position.
  • the dished plate controls a tippable support plate, the support plate being in a support position for supporting a reserve roll when the dished plate is loaded by a roll in use position, whereas the support plate tips for lowering a new roll from the reserve position into the use position when the empty core of the finished roll is removed from the use position and the spring is freed.
  • the last-mentioned publication describes another embodiment where the retaining means which holds the reserve roll in place consists of a pair of support pins which form an integrated part with a holding means.
  • the dished plate, which supports a roll in use position, is attached to said holding means which is therefore carried along when the dished plate is pivoted.
  • the reserve roll is supported by said support pins as long as a roll or empty core is in place on the dished plate but, as soon as the empty core is removed, the dished plate, and the holding means acted on by it, will, in a manner corresponding to that described above, rock about its axis, the support pins being moved in a direction towards the rear plate and out of engagement with the reserve roll which then drops down into use position in the dished plate.
  • the object of the present invention is to produce a dispenser which is more robust and operationally reliable than previously known solutions and which moreover is easier to handle.
  • dispensers As wear is great in a public environment, the construction of the dispensers has to be robust and reliable. These requirements are especially important when these are dispensers for large, heavy rolls of paper which drop from reserve position into use position and moreover have to be handled in the dispenser. Above, and below as well, reference is frequently made to paper, but it must be pointed out here that the present invention is not limited to dispensers for paper but is intended for all types of flexible material in the form of a web, such as plastic film or aluminium foil, nonwoven fabric and paper.
  • a dispenser of the type referred to in the introduction has been acheived, which is particularly robust and operationally reliable and which moreover solves all the problems described above in connection with the description of known solutions.
  • said housing comprises a wall bracket and a casing which can be attached to it, that at least two support means, suitably in the form of wheels, are mounted on the wall bracket inside the withdrawal opening and are intended to support a roll of the material in the form of a web arranged in use position in the first space, that a plate is mounted pivotably on the wall bracket about a horizontal axis extending transversely to the axial direction of the roll, that the plate is spring- loaded below said axis, that the distance between the plate and a holding portion on the casing is adapted in such a manner that a roll can be arranged in use position in the first space between the plate and the holding portion counter to the action of the spring, that said retaining means is pivotable together with the plate about the same horizontal axis between the retaining position and a freed position, and that the plate, the spring and the retaining means are arranged so as to interact in such a way that the
  • the construction is particularly robust and operationally reliable principally by virtue of the fact that the support means, which are intended to support the roll in use position, are attached directly to the wall bracket and that the only moving part apart from any said wheels present, the spring-loaded plate, is likewise mounted directly on the wall bracket.
  • the retaining means is connected rigidly to the plate or formed in one piece with it.
  • the invention is characterized in that the support means have such an axial extent from the wall bracket that, when a roll of material in the form of a web is arranged in the first space between the plate and the holding portion, they extend at least in the order of some millimetres in under the roll. This is sufficient for secure support of the roll at the same time as the roll is easily accessible from below, the result of which is that an end of the mate ⁇ al web on a new roll is easily accessible and that it is easy to reach and take out an empty core.
  • Figure 1 shows a perspective view of a wall bracket for a dispenser according to the invention with the outer cover and casing of the dispenser housing removed.
  • Figure 3 shows a perspective view of the wall bracket according to Figure 1 with a plate removed for a spring belonging to the dispenser.
  • Figure 7 shows the dispenser according to Figure 6 with the cover closed.
  • Rolls of paper can be introduced into the housing via the opening 21 when the cover 3 is open, as shown in Figure 6.
  • the cover 3 is suitably lockable in order to prevent the theft of rolls of paper. If the dispenser is empty when a roll of paper is introduced, the roll will drop down directly into use position in the first space.
  • the size of the housing is suitably adapted to the rolls of paper which are to be used in such a manner that the axial width of the rolls of paper corresponds essentially to the horizontal space between the wall bracket and the casing, the result of which is that the roll of paper slides down in a controlled manner instead of falling completely freely from the upper opening towards the withdrawal opening 4.
  • the distance between the bracket and the casing can be selected so that the reserve roll is braked by the friction against the casing and the bracket as it drops down into use position. This drop is also damped by the spring when the plate 9 is pivoted aside by the falling roll.
  • the dispenser according to the invention is very robust and operationally reliable.
  • a factor contributing to the operational reliability of the dispenser is of course that it contains so few moving parts.
  • the wheels, which are mounted rotatably in the bracket it is only the support plate, together with the retaining means, which pivots to and fro about its axis of rotation. This extends across the wall bracket through the pivots 22 in Figure 3, which interact with snap-in means (not shown) on the underside of the plate 9.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un distributeur de rouleaux d'un matériau se présentant sous forme de bande telle une bande de papier. Ce distributeur a la capacité de loger au moins deux rouleaux. Un premier emplacement est destiné à un rouleau (8) en position d'utilisation et un deuxième emplacement est destiné à un rouleau (8') en position de réserve. Un moyen de retenue (12, 13) est conçu pour tenir le deuxième rouleau (8') en position de réserve et pour interagir avec le rouleau (8) en position d'utilisation de telle manière que, lorsqu'un rouleau est en position d'utilisation, le moyen de retenue est maintenu en position de retenue, le moyen de retenue étant libéré afin de permettre au rouleau de réserve de tomber en position d'utilisation lorsque l'on retire le premier rouleau. Le distributeur comprend un support mural (1) et un boîtier (2). Deux moyens support (6, 7), montés sur le support mural (1) dans l'ouverture de délivrance (4), permettent de soutenir un rouleau (8) placé en position d'utilisation. Une plaque (9), montée pivotante sur le support mural (1), tourne autour d'un arbre et est sollicité par un ressort placé sous cet arbre. La distance entre la plaque (9) et une section de maintien (17) du boîtier (2) est conçue de telle manière qu'un rouleau (8) peut être placé en position d'utilisation dans le premier emplacement entre la plaque et la section de maintien à l'encontre de l'action du ressort. Le moyen de retenue (12, 13) pivote en même temps que la plaque (9), et la plaque (9), le ressort (16) et le moyen de retenue (12, 13) sont conçus de manière à interagir de telle manière que, lorsque le ressort (16) est relâché quand on enlève le premier rouleau, il amène le moyen de retenue de la position de retenue en position libérée.
