Definitions
- the present invention relates to devices for the controlled dispensing of portions of paper from a continuous band to be used as toilet paper or towels, and in particular to a device of the manually-operated type and provided with a mechanism for initiating a spare roll. Specific reference will be made hereafter to a toilet paper device, while it is clear that what is said can be applied with obvious modifications to paper towels, kitchen rolls and the like.
- These manually-operated devices include a cutting unit that can be made in different ways, for example with a blade that springs out radially from a rest position within the paper band feed roller, or with a blade that acts on the strip of paper in a radial direction from outside towards the inside of the feed roller by entering a longitudinal slot thereof.
- a first blade is mounted on the feed roller and a second blade is fixedly mounted and positioned to interfere with said first blade carried by the roller, said pair of blades being mounted and structured so as to achieve during the cutting a punctiform contact between a rigid blade and a yielding blade.
- the object of the present invention is to provide a device for dispensing paper sheets which overcomes the above-mentioned drawbacks. This object is achieved by means of a device that combines a cutting unit, a roll replacement mechanism and means for initiating the spare roll.
- the main advantage of the present device is that of combining the advantages of the above-mentioned two types of dispensers, so as to prevent waste of paper while extending the intervals between the operator interventions to check and re-load the device.
- a second advantage of this device is given by the fact that the initiating means are useful not only at the time of the roll replacement, but they can also be used to make the paper tip project out of the device if for any reasons it occurs that the tip is not automatically dispensed.
- a further advantage of said device is that this result is achieved through a very simple, cheap and reliable mechanism.
- Fig.l is a perspective top view of the cutting unit of the present device
- Fig.2 is a perspective bottom view of said cutting unit combined with the roll replacement mechanism
- Fig.3 is a vertical sectional view from the left side of the device at the beginning of the use with two complete rolls
- Fig.4 is a view similar to the preceding one with the first roll used for about 2/3
- FJ .5 is a view similar to the preceding one with the first roll almost finished at the moment of the triggering of the replacement mechanism
- Fig.6 is a view similar to the preceding one with the spare roll positioned for initiation.
- the case of the device is made up of a rear base 1 to which, through top teeth 2, there is hinged a cover 3 provided with a bottom opening 4 as paper outlet, the teeth 2 acting also as a lock that can be disengaged only by means of a suitable tool.
- the cover 3 is also connected at the bottom to the device body, in order to limit its rotation and to prevent its lifting, through a flexible strap (not shown) secured between the inside of the cover and the right end of the main shaft 5 of the cutting unit.
- On said shaft 5 there is also mounted a knob 6 for the initial feeding of the band when the device is loaded with a new roll, so as to be able to rotate manually the feeding and cutting roller 7 mounted on said shaft 5.
- rocker arms At the lower ends of the rocker arms there are provided pins 12, 12' on which internal projections (not shown) of cover 3 are rotatably engaged, so that a push of the user on the outside of cover 3, that rotates around teeth 2, is turned into a downward rotation of the horizontal portions of the rocker arms.
- the right rocker arm 9 terminates on the front with a toothed sector 13 that engages a gear 14 also keyed on shaft 5, while the left rocker arm 9' is only meant to achieve a balanced movement of cover 3 since it does not engage any other member.
- shaft 5 is also provided with a non-return mechanism due to which roller 7 can only rotate upward (when seen from the front) whereas the driving in the opposite direction, as in the return travel of the toothed sector 13, is turned into a relative sliding of the engaged members.
- the user causes a rotation of roller 7 by pushing on cover 3 same as if the operator would act on knob 6 when the device is open. This allows to force the projection of the paper in case of clogging of the roll and it also favours the initiation of the spare roll at the time of replacing the first roll, in case it should be necessary.
- the present device furthermore includes other two members that cooperate with the above- mentioned mechanism to achieve said result.
- the first member consists of an inclined notched plane 15 internally projecting downward from cover 3 at the upper portion of the cutting unit. More precisely, the plane is oriented so that its ideal extension arrives at the nipping line of paper C between roller 7 and an upper small counter-pressure roller 16.
- the second member consists of a rubber panel 17 with a central cross-shaped cut 18, said panel 17 being secured to a transverse plate 19 that is in turn mounted on the frame 20 of the roll-holding unit.
- the starting tip S of the spare roll R' is inserted into cut 18 for the reason explained further on, said roll R' being placed in the device, as shown in fig.3, so that its downward movement does not cause the removal of tip S from panel 17.
- Frame 20 is mounted on frame 8 through pivots 21, and on its inside there is a first pivot 22 that carries a pair of independent arms 23, 23' carrying respectively the first roll R and the spare roll R'.
- a second more advanced pivot 24 carries a plate 25 on which there is formed a cam 26.
- This cam 26 is shaped with a horizontal top portion 27 and a rear vertical portion 28 connected by a substantially curved front portion 29.
- each arm 23, 23' is provided with a relevant peg 30, 30' positioned so that it can follow the profile of cam 26.
- the same peg 30' then takes plate 25 back to the initial position thereof by following the profile of portion 29.
- the position illustrated in fig.6 is thus reached, where arm 23' has taken the operating position occupied by arm 23 in fig.3, the latter having moved completely to the back under the push of the roll carried by arm 23'.
- the starting tip S of roll R' remains inserted in the transverse plate 19 during the descent of arm 23', so that the band fo ⁇ ns a loop A extending between roller 7 and the inclined plane 15. In this condition when the user pulls the projecting tip of roll R, still engaged between rollers 7 and 16, thus rotating roller 7 he also draws loop A into engagement between said rollers.
- the device will dispense a double sheet, until roll R is finished, whereafter it will continue with roll R' only.
- the starting tip S becomes disengaged from the transverse plate 19 and roll R' can be normally used.
- roll R' is not automatically initiated in the above-described way, it is sufficient that the user pushes a few times on cover 3, which each time returns to the rest position thanks to springs 11, 11 ' as previously explained, for loop A to be nipped between roller 7 and roller 16 also thanks to the push and support of the notched plane 15.
- the means to retain tip S of roll R' can be different from the illustrated means 17, 18 19, as well as the kinematical connection that turns the push on cover 3 into a rotation of roller 7.
- the various members such as rocker arm 11, toothed sector 13 and gear 14 can be replaced by other mechanically equivalent members, and the same applies to the roll replacement mechanism as long as the device operation is retained as illustrated above.
