Abstract

The invention relates to a distribution device for folded, web-like articles, in particular for use as a hand towel dispenser. At least two support means are arranged on the rear wall of the distribution device which allows the folded, web-like articles to be removed separately.

Description

The present invention relates to a dispenser for folded sheetlike structures and to the use thereof.

Output devices for folded, sheet-like structures are known from the prior art. Such dispensers are filled in batches. The folded, sheet-like structures can then through a removal opening at the bottom of the

Output device can be removed.

The simple removal of individual folded, sheet-like structures from one

Output device is advantageous for economic and environmental reasons.

In the known from the prior art dispensing devices separate removal of individual folded sheet-like structure is usually difficult. Often, even with proper and careful use of the dispenser, the user inadvertently removes several of the folded, sheet-like structures at once. This is all the more true in the case where the dispenser is intended for use in public areas. As an example, output devices for dry towels in public sanitary facilities are mentioned. Due to the usually high frequency of such public sanitary facilities users usually have little time for the use of the output device, whereby the problem of removing several dry wipes is tightened all at once.

DE 692 21 284 T2 discloses a paper towel dispenser with support surfaces, wherein the support surfaces are parallel to the bottom wall and serve to reduce the friction that occurs when the lower towel is dispensed through the dispensing opening. The one-piece support surfaces extend just over the entire Width of the output device and throughout from the back of the

Removal opening extending to the rear wall area. The fact that the flat support surfaces extend integrally over the entire width of the dispensing device, the production of such support surfaces is complex. Furthermore, the bottom wall of the

Output device also also be designed substantially planar, a

Removal opening can not be optimized for dispensing flat products are formed.

It is an object of the present invention to provide an improved output device for folded sheet-like structures which does not have the disadvantages of prior art dispensers and in particular enables improved removal of sheet-like folded structures.

The object is achieved by an output device for folded, sheet-like structure, comprising a cover part and a housing part, wherein the housing part has a rear wall, two side walls and a bottom with a removal opening. At least two first support means are arranged in the interior of the housing part between the rear wall and the side of the removal opening facing the rear wall, in particular spaced therefrom, wherein the support means comprises at least one first support surface which is further away from the rear wall and at a smaller distance from the floor is arranged as at least a second support surface.

The inventors have found that the disadvantages of the dispensers for folded, sheet-like structures, in particular dry wipes, from the prior art

in particular on the amount of the folded sheet-like structures, with which the

Output device is filled in batches is based.

Thus, the further underlying parts of a stack of sheet-like folded structures undergo compression by the load of the upper parts of the stack. This compression of the underlying parts of the stack, in particular the lowest folded, sheet-like Due to the condition that the separate removal of individual folded, sheet-like structure is usually not possible and the user unintentionally removes several folded, sheet-like structure at once. Due to the particular embodiment of the support means according to the invention this problem is counteracted. In a preferred embodiment, the dispensing device according to the invention comprises, in addition to the at least one first support means, at least one second support means attached to the rear wall at about the middle height of the dispenser.

The particular configuration and arrangement in the rear region of the dispensing device of the support means, in particular of the at least one two support means, advantageously allows easy removal of a single folded, sheet-like structure. The particular embodiment of the at least two first support means also contributes to the fact that, in particular, the lowest discharge-opening-covering folded, sheet-like structure is arranged particularly advantageously so that the removal of individual folded, sheet-like structure is possible. The at least two first

Among other things, support means cause a curvature of the folded, sheet-like structure, so that one end or one edge of the folded, sheet-like structure protrudes somewhat from the rest of the folded, sheet-like structure and thus gripping is easier. The support means according to the invention thus have not only a support effect, but also one with the support effect advantageous

interacting alignment effect.

Preference is given to the use of the described dispensing device for dispensing folded, sheet-like structures. Preferably, the present invention relates to the use of the dispenser for dispensing toilet paper, towels, facial tissues and / or wipes. Other

Uses are also possible. The folding is particularly preferably selected from the group consisting at least of C-folding, Z-folding, W-folding and / or V-folding. The sheet-like, folded structure is advantageously produced from a tissue material, tissue-like material, cotton fibers and / or non-woven material.

In particular, for the purposes of the present invention, it is not excluded that

Combinations of said materials for the sheet-like, folded structures are used.

Particularly preferably, the center of the circle coincides with the center of gravity of the ellipse. Alternatively, it is provided that the basic shape is a rectangle, for example, with half circles placed opposite one another, preferably on the short sides of the rectangle, and one or more circular arcs form a widening. The basic shape is, for example, extended largely centrally through a circle, an ellipse and / or a rectangle or any other shape. Also, others can

Combinations of different shapes can be used to make the removal opening.

In one embodiment it is provided that the removal opening is substantially mirror-symmetrical with respect to a plane of symmetry which is arranged centrally and parallel between the side walls of the dispensing device.

In one embodiment, it is provided that the removal opening is substantially mirror-symmetrical with respect to a plane of symmetry which is arranged parallel and centrally between the rear wall and the front side of the dispensing device. In a further embodiment it is provided that the removal opening is substantially mirror-symmetrical with respect to a plane of symmetry which is arranged parallel and centrally between the side walls of the dispensing device. In a preferred embodiment it is provided that the removal opening substantially

is mirror-symmetric with respect to a plane of symmetry which is parallel and centered between the rear wall and the front of the dispenser and is substantially mirror-symmetrical with respect to a plane of symmetry parallel and centered between the sidewalls of the dispenser. In a preferred embodiment, the bottom of the dispenser comprises a withdrawal bulge. The withdrawal curvature is a curvature of the bottom, which preferably adjoins the removal opening and is more preferably arranged between the removal opening and the rear wall. The withdrawal curvature is designed such that, in comparison with the other areas of the floor, in particular with respect to the corresponding areas of the floor of the same depth and which directly adjoin the side walls, it essentially has a greater height. In particular, the height of the withdrawal bulge initially increases along a direction from one side wall to another side wall, forming a plateau in the middle between the two side walls, and then flattening again at the other end of the withdrawal bulge. Preferably, the rise and / or the flattening of the withdrawal curvature along a direction from one side wall to the other side wall is linear. The withdrawal curvature corresponds essentially to one

trapezoidal cross-section with the cross-sectional area substantially parallel to

The extraction curvature allows a user to easily access the folded sheet-like structures such as paper towels arranged in the dispenser. The withdrawal bulge allows grasping for the folded,

area-like structures with the palm open at the top, wherein the fingers can grip higher when grasping for folded, planar structures than at

an output device without the extraction curvature. In an output device without the withdrawal curvature a user must manipulate directly from below with a few fingers a folded, sheet-like structure in particular at one end of the removal opening. In this case, the fingers are pressed along the folded, planar structure until one end of the folded, planar structure becomes tangible. In the dispensing device according to the invention, the withdrawal curvature causes a curvature of the folded, sheet-like structure, so that one end or edge of the folded, sheet-like structure at any fold easily protrudes from the rest of the folded, sheet-like structure and thus easier gripping after this.

In an advantageous embodiment, the dispensing device has a withdrawal curvature and at least two first support means, in particular arranged in the region of

Removal bulge on the rear wall of the housing part, on. Surprisingly, removal opening and the at least two first support means cooperate advantageously and allow a particularly simple removal of a single folded sheet-like structure.

More preferably, the distance of the at least two first support means from the rear edge of the removal opening is at least about 70% of the total distance between the rear edge of the removal opening and the rear wall. Even more preferably, the distance of the at least two first support means from the rear edge of the removal opening is at least about 90% of the total distance between the rear edge of the

Removal opening and the rear wall.

In the context of the present invention is with "distance" of a first

Support means from the rear edge of the removal opening to understand that distance of the rear edge of the removal opening to the removal opening nearest the front surface of the first support means.

Characterized in that the at least two first support means have a distance from the removal opening, an advantageous interaction of the support means with the sheet-like, folded structures in the dispenser is possible. Since the support means are limited to the lower portion of the dispenser, in particular to the rear wall, there is an advantageous interaction with the lower sheet-like folded formations of a stack of sheet-like, folded formations. The sheet-like, folded structures are aligned in such a way that a simple removal of a single sheet-like, folded structure is made possible.

In a preferred embodiment, the distance of the at least two first support means from the rear edge of the removal opening is at least about 90% of the total distance between the rear edge of the removal opening and the rear wall Π and the at least two first support means have at least about twice the height as depth.
