Definitions
- the invention relates to a dispenser for absorbent paper articles, in particular napkins, such as those found in communities, restaurants or other similar establishments.
- One or more napkin dispensers are available on the counters of fast food establishments, generally before the cash register where the consumer registers the dishes he has taken and pays the price.
- the towels are for single use and most often made of paper. It is a sheet of light absorbent paper, such as a sheet of cellulose wadding. It may have just been folded in half or in four, but it can come in many other formats.
- the dispensers are often simple parallelepiped boxes with a front face facing the consumer and provided with a slit-shaped dispensing opening. The consumer extracts the article which is presented to him through the opening.
- the towels form a packet or a stack which is pressed against the front face, possibly by means of a spring plunger opposite the stack when the dispenser is horizontal. If placed vertically or in an inclined position, the weight of the stack of sheets is sufficient to hold it against the distribution wall. A spring plunger is then not useful.
- the napkins in the stack can be simply juxtaposed. They can also be tangled. In this case, they have at least one fold line perpendicular to the axis of the stack with at least one front flap and one rear flap.
- the rear flap of the first is placed behind the front flap of the next. This arrangement is advantageous because by pulling the first towel through the distribution slot, the front flap of the next towel is driven. It is then in position to be easily caught.
- the dispensing opening is generally a slot, placed horizontally in the middle of the front panel. It is long enough to allow the passage of towels. This slot is not too narrow because it must allow the consumer to fetch the first sheet inside the box when the latter is not engaged in the opening.
- the invention aims to provide a dispenser whose dispensing opening has an improved shape compared to those of the prior art, in that it makes it easier to grip the first sheet.
- Another object of the invention is to provide a dispenser which can be used both with entangled sheets and with sheets which are not.
- the dispenser of the invention for paper articles, in particular napkins, comprising a receptacle closed at one end by a panel forming the front face and provided with a dispensing opening for articles with an edge, is characterized by the causes at least part of the edge of said opening to be extended by a wall element projecting from said panel and when the dispenser is in a horizontal position, it has the advantage of serving as a support for the sheet portion free from the first article in the stack and to make it easier for the consumer to grasp because it is then turned in its direction. Hygienic conditions during use are thereby improved, the user touching only one sheet at a time without coming into contact with the distributor. When the dispenser is in the vertical position, the sheet is prevented from coming into contact with the wall.
- the opening is in the form of a slot and the wall element extends over at least part of the lower edge.
- its width is sufficient for the wall element to serve as a support for the free part of the first article of the stack and allow it to be grasped by the consumer.
- Figure 1 is a perspective view of the distributor, three-quarter front, the loading hatch being open
- Figure 2 is a front view of the dispenser
- Figure 3 is a side view and in transparency of the front part.
- the dispenser (1) consists of a receptacle with a base (2), two side walls (4) and (5), a bottom wall (6) and a wall ( 7) forming a facade in which the opening (71) for distribution is provided. It can be made of sheet metal, plastic or a combination of the two materials.
- the receptacle has a cover with a hatch (3) which can release an opening on the upper part which allows the dispenser to be recharged.
- the sheets form a bundle or stack, and are placed parallel to the front side.
- a wedge, forming a pusher (8), is movable inside the receptacle, and makes it possible to clamp the stack of paper articles against the internal face of the panel. To this end, it is possible to provide means for blocking the wedge along the receptacle or else a spring which relaxes between the rear of the wedge (8) and the bottom (6).
- the panel (7) comprises a dispensing opening (71), through which the sheet which appears, called the first sheet, is extracted.
- the opening has the form of an elongated slot parallel to the plane of the base (2). At one of its ends, the slot widens.
- This part (72) here has a circular shape which allows a finger to pass inside to catch an edge of the first article of the stack inside when necessary.
- the lower edge (73) of the dispensing opening (7) is extended by a wall element (74) which projects outwards from the dispenser. This element is preferably perpendicular to the plane in which the towels appear.
- This plan corresponds to that of the panel. To define the plane of the panel, the possible bulging of the front face is not taken into account.
- This element (74) extends over a substantial part of the opening (71). It doesn't have to be as long as this. Its width "1", measured from the plumb of the upper edge (76) to its edge furthest from the panel (7) must be sufficient for the end portion of a sheet or a flap of the towel which is inside, and which rests on the element, or projecting from the plane of the panel (7) as can be seen in Figure 3.
- the width "1" is preferably not less than 1 cm. Indeed if it is too narrow, there is a risk of tearing the sheet. In particular, this width "1" is at least 3 cm.
- the portion of the element (74) whose width is maximum "1" is preferably towards the central part of the opening, if not in the middle.
- the slit outside of its part (72) is thin. Its height, that is to say the distance separating the upper (76) and lower (73) edges, is less than the width "1", in particular. Furthermore, the upper edge comprises a wall element parallel to the element (74) forming a passage through which the sheet is guided towards the user.
- the towels are tangled. They each include a front flap and a rear flap.
- the front flap of the first towel is engaged in the slot (71) and rests on the wall element (74), its end projecting slightly. The consumer can easily grab the flap.
- the rear flap of the first towel frictionally drives the front flap of the towel which follows through the slot. The latter is then in position to be entered.
- the shape of the opening may vary. It can include in particular an enlarged part of different shape or arranged differently, in the center for example. She may also not understand it.
- the description relates to a paper towel dispenser.
- the invention is of course applicable to dispensers for all types of paper articles, such as hand towels, wiping cloths or household paper towels.
