Definitions
- the invention relates to a dispenser for measured removal of foil material, comprising: a tubular body formed by at least three at least substantially axially extending side walls, which tubular body encloses a receiving space for the foil material, at least one outlet opening for foil material formed by the tubular body and at least one tear edge arranged at least close to at least one edge formed by two mutually connecting side walls for tearing off at least a portion of the foil material taken out of the tubular body.
- the invention also relates to a method for measured removal of foil material from such a dispenser.
- the invention further relates to a blank for producing such a dispenser.
- a dispenser of the above stated type has long been known on the market.
- the American patent US 2,334,997 thus describes such a dispenser, wherein the dispenser preferably made from cardboard takes a triangular form in cross-section.
- One of the sides forming part of the dispenser is constructed from two wall parts positioned at a mutual distance and bounding a passage opening for the foil material.
- the dispenser is herein provided with a cutting edge for severing foil material taken out of the dispenser via the passage opening, wherein the cutting edge is formed by an edge formed by two mutually connecting sides.
- the two wall parts located at a mutual distance and bounding the passage opening for the foil material thus make the construction of the dispenser relatively complex and relatively time- consuming.
- both wall parts In order to achieve optimal operation of the dispenser both wall parts must run at least substantially parallel to each other and be positioned at sufficient distance from each other.
- a second drawback of the known dispenser is that the wall parts located at a mutual distance result in a relatively weak construction which will generally already collapse under a relatively low external load, or will at least deform such that correct functioning of the dispenser is generally no longer possible.
- a third drawback of the known dispenser is that the foil material, particularly when a (necessary) external load is applied, usually displaces with difficulty, since the foil material is clamped relatively quickly between both wall parts of the relatively weak construction of the dispenser. Since applying an external load is (generally) always required to remove a measured quantity of foil material, removal of the foil material will usually take place in uneven manner.
- Foil material is understood here to mean, among others, papers, plastic or aluminium foil, tape and
- the invention has for its object, while retaining the advantage of the prior art, to provide an improved dispenser from which measured removal of foil material is possible in simple and smooth manner.
- the invention provides for this purpose a dispenser of the type stated in the preamble with the feature that each side wall is connected on opposite sides to an adjacent, at least substantially axially extending side wall.
- a closed tubular body constructed in robust manner is therefore created, wherein the outlet opening is preferably arranged in a side wall.
- the dispenser according to the invention has the additional advantage that the construction of the dispenser is relatively simple, which can result in reduction of production cost of the dispenser. Because of the simple but robustly constructed dispenser according to the invention foil material can generally be taken out of the dispenser in smooth, unforced and measured manner, without substantial clamping or catching of the foil material occurring in the dispenser. It should be apparent that the above stated two-sided connection is understood to mean that each of the second longitudinal sides of the side wall is connected to a longitudinal side of an adjacent side wall.
- the outlet opening can be of random design, but is preferably formed by a slot arranged in a side wall.
- the use of a slot has the advantage that only a relatively small opening has to be arranged in the side wall, whereby the strength of the tubular body is generally not weakened, or at least not substantially.
- the slot preferably extends in at least substantially axial direction.
- the outlet opening and the tearing edge are located at a distance from each other.
- This preferred embodiment has the particular advantage that, after a removed portion of the foil material has been torn off, there always remains a non-torn off removed portion of foil material of a width of substantially the mutual distance between the tearing edge and the outlet opening. Such a residual portion facilitates fresh removal of foil material from the dispenser.
- a part of the side wall lying between the outlet opening and tearing edge can function as tensioning surface for the removed foil material, whereby tearing off the foil material can take place relatively even more simply and in more controlled manner.
- the dispenser is preferably manufactured at least substantially from a biodegradable material, in particular cardboard.
- a biodegradable material in particular cardboard.
- Other materials can also be envisaged, such as biodegradable plastic.
- the walls forming part of the tubular body are connected releasably to each other.
- the dispenser can thus be filled in simple manner with unused foil material, and thus be reused a number of times.
- At least one side wall is preferably provided with an opening for providing a view of the foil material accommodated in the dispenser.
- the opening makes it possible for a user to gain an insight into the quantity of foil material still accommodated in the dispenser, wherein the foil material can be replenished in good time.
- the tearing edge is preferably formed by an angled connection of two adjacent side walls.
- the tearing edge is thus in fact formed by an at least substantially axially extending edge forming part of the tubular body.
- the invention also relates to a method for measured removal of foil material from such a dispenser, comprising the steps of: A) taking a measured quantity of foil material out of the outlet opening, B) positioning the side wall provided with the tearing edge against a support surface, wherein a portion of the removed quantity of foil material lies between the side wall provided with the tearing edge and the support surface, C) clamping the foil material situated between the side wall provided with the tearing edge and a base surface bearing the dispenser, and D) tearing off a non-clamped portion of the removed foil material along the tearing edge.
- the method according to the invention has the advantage that a measured quantity of foil material can be removed in simple, stable and controlled manner without (substantial) safety risks for a user.
- an external load is applied to the dispenser in a direction directed toward the support surface.
- the external load is generally applied here by the user.
- the invention further relates to a blank for producing such a dispenser.
- the blank is preferably provided herein with at least one fastening edge for mutually coupling two walls, with or without an adhesive layer or using a mechanical fastening element.
- figure 1 shows a blank for producing a dispenser for foil material according to the invention
- figure 2 shows a perspective view of the dispenser of figure 1
- figure 3 shows another perspective view of the dispenser of figure 1.
- Figure 1 shows a blank 22 for producing a dispenser for foil material according to the invention.
- Blank 22 is provided with a first material layer 1, a second material layer 2 connected pivotally to the first material layer 1 , and a third material layer 3 connected pivotally to the second material layer 2.
- the first, second and third material layer 1, 2, 3 function as side wall.
- the blank 22 can be transformed into a dispenser.
- this latter is pivotally connected to an adhesive strip 4, wherein adhesive strip 4 is pivotable on a fold line 5.
- Adhesive strip 4 is adapted for connection to a cutting edge 6 forming part of the first material layer 1 and remote from the second material layer 2. Cutting edge 6 is thus positioned round an edge which forms part of the dispenser and along which foil material taken from the dispenser can be severed in simple manner.
- the third material layer 3 is provided with a slot which can be covered by a valve 21 connected pivotally to the third material layer 3. Valve 21 is herein partially punched out of third material layer ' 3 by means of punch lines 18, 19, 20 and is pivotable on a fold line 9.
- the third material layer 3 is also provided on two end surfaces with flaps 10, these flaps 10 being adapted for co-action on one side with flaps 11 forming part of second material layer 2 and on the other with flaps 12 forming part of first material layer 1.
- Each flap 11 is herein provided with two fastening strips 16 pivotable on a fold line 13. Flaps 11 are herein connected to second material layer 2 via an intermediate element 17 and a fold line 14. In addition, each flap 12 is provided with a fastening strip pivotable on a fold line 15 for fastening the flap 12 to an adjacent flap.
- the intermediate element 17 has to be pivoted such that intermediate element 17 engages on the second material layer 2. Both the fastening strips 16 forming part of flap 11 are pivoted in a direction away from the second material layer 2.
- the adjacent flaps 10, 12 can further be pivoted relative to the respective third material layer 3 and first material layer 1 to allow further connection to flaps 11.
- Figure 2 shows a perspective view of dispenser 23 of figure 1. As shown, a left hand 24 holds dispenser 23 fast while a right hand 25 takes a measured quantity of foil material out of dispenser 23 by pulling the foil material 26 in a direction indicated by arrows A.
- Figure 3 shows another perspective view of dispenser 23 of figure 1.
- Figure 3 generally follows on chronologically from figure 2 in the removal of the foil material 26.
- dispenser 23 By causing dispenser 23 to support on a base surface or other support surface (not shown) under an external load by the left hand 24 - indicated by arrow B - a portion of the removed foil material 26 can be severed in controlled and simple manner via cutting edge 6, this being indicated via arrow C. It is therefore important to have dispenser 23 support via the third material layer 3 (as outlet side for foil material 26) on the base surface or other support surface, wherein cutting edge 6 also engages on the base surface, or is at least located close to the base surface.
- the dispenser with a plurality of cutting edges. It is also possible to envisage including a plurality of types of foil material in a single dispenser according to the invention, wherein each foil material can be removed via a separate outlet opening.
- the dispenser can of course also be embodied as a dispenser with a square or other polygonal cross-section. It will be apparent that many more variations are possible for the skilled person with the scope of the claims.
