Definitions
- This invention relates to an improved container for paper material wound in rolls which allows the extraction of any required length of the paper material, and its separation from the roll by tearing.
- container-dispensers for paper rolls are known, both for domestic use and for use in public places, communities etc., in which a strip of paper extracted in this manner is used as a hand towel or the like, of the disposable type.
- Such apparatus have been constructed in various forms and structures, substantially comprising two half casings in which the paper roll is housed, and of which. the edge emerges from a suitable slot in proximity to which there is provided a knurled blade for its tearing.
- Paper of modest consistency can be torn fairly easily, whereas paper of better quality such as that of the "unwoven texture" type can create considerable problems at the moment of tearing.
- the paper could also be previously perforated and the roll be of the type comprising a cardboard core or be coreless. All these different types of material create problems of adaptation where it is required to construct a dispenser of a single type which can be fed with any type of paper used for these purposes at the present time.
- a dispenser comprising a case for housing the paper roll, with a slot of variable width parallel to the roll axis for the passage of paper web to the outside, and provided with a blade means or saw-toothed portion for separating from the roll an unwound portion of paper passing through the slot by manual tearing.
- the separating blade portion is elastically mobile relative to the housing case and requires fixing means, pressure means, and general constructional complications which cannot be ignored in mass-produced products of fairly low cost.
- This portion is in addition to the casing being necessarily formed of two parts for roll replacement reasons.
- One object of the present invention is therefore to provide an improved rolled paper dispenser which is formed from only two parts, and which allows the paper to be simultaneously clamped during tearing.
- a further object of the invention is to provide a dispenser of the aforesaid type in which the component parts are of moulded plastics material and have a certain degree of relative mobility which is utilised in order to clamp the paper during tearing.
- a dispenser of the above-mentioned type characterized by the fact that the case is formed of a lower and an upper half casing, both hinged together on their front side, in proximity of the separating means formed at the free end of an extended portion of the upper half casing, and said slot is defined between two projecting portions respectively of the lower and upper half casings, the portion of the upper half casing being normally underlying the portion of the lower half casing, so as to be driven into contact therewith upon pulling an unwound portion of paper upwardly against said separating means, thus lifting the upper half casing and causing said slot to be closed, whereby the paper web is clamped in a fixed position during tearing.
- the container- dispenser comprises two half casings 1, 2 of substantially semicylindrical form preferably constructed of plastics material.
- the two half casings are hinged at appendices 12 and 11 respectively, and the lower half casing 1 is also provided with protuberances 9 which enable it to be fixed to a vertical wall.
- these protuberances 9 terminate with a smooth surface in which flared holes 23 can be formed for the passage of fixing screws as shown in Figure 3.
- the dispenser could be fixed to the wall by double adhesive strips 25 fitted to the surfaces 9 which also comprise the holes 23.
- means for securing the two half casings together are not provided, however it is apparent that suitable securing and locking devices of known type can be fitted to the dispenser according to the invention if this is desired.
- the upper half casing 2 terminates lowerly with a knurled or saw-toothed portion 8 which forms the blade for tearing the sheet of paper.
- the edge of the container 1 terminates with an arcuate portion 7 on which the paper edge 4 rests, and the upper half casing 2 is provided with a rib 16 which becomes situated in proximity to the edge 7 when the two half casings are assembled to form the dispenser.
- the two half casings are assembled by means of pins 14 rigid with the appendices 11 of the half casing 1 and elongated bores or slots 15 provided in the appendices 12 of the lower half casing 1.
- the hinging allows limited mobility of the pin 14 in the slot 15, so that under normal conditions the parts are positioned as shown in the sectional view of Figure 3, in which the longitudinal rib 16 extends below the curved edge 7 to leave a passage or slot through which the sheet 4 of paper can slide.
- the configuration assumed in this manner is determined by the force of gravity which acts on the side portion of the upper half casing 2. Under these conditions, the user can unwind the required quantity of paper, which passes through the slot formed in this manner without encountering appreciable obstacles.
- the user lifts the emerged portion of paper upwards in the general direction indicated by the arrow F, by which the half casing 2 is raised to move the rib 16 into contact against the curved edge 7 of the lower half casing.
- the strip of paper becomes gripped and clamped (detail to the side of Figure 3) over its entire length, and the tearing stresses are thus not transmitted to the roll container in the dispenser, so preventing it from unwinding.
- the weight of the half casing 2 returns this latter into its rest position, to allow further unwinding of the paper, which can be gripped by virtue of the portion which lies between the slot and the cutting blade 8.
- Figure 4 shows a detail of a pin which can be used for forming the mobile hinge.
- the pin 20 terminates with a lug 21 having a shape substantially equal to that of the aperture 15 in the half casing 1, so that it can be inserted into this latter on assembly, which takes place with the dispenser open.
- the lug 21 rests against the walls of the appendix 11, to prevent the escape of the pin, which can however move freely in the slot 15 during operation.
- At least the upper half casing 2 is constructed by moulding transparent plastics material, so as to enable the contained roll to be seen, however the two half casings can also be of a non-transparent material, which would generally be impact-resistant, and they could also be of different shapes than that shown, provided they are able to define a generally cylindrical or prismatic container.
