Definitions
- the invention relates to a dispenser.
- the invention relates to a dispenser for material from a roll such as plastics material, foil or paper material.
- Plastics sheet material and paper sheet material for use by consumers is usually carried on a cylindrical former and stored inside a container or carton having a closure flap which may be opened to expose the sheet material.
- the carton had a serrated knife edge adjacent an edge of an opening formed when the closure flap was opened.
- the material was unrolled from the former and once a suitable length thereof was unrolled it was drawn across the knife edge and that length was severed from the remainder. It was necessary with such a carton to prevent the roll of material from rotating during the severing operation. Thus, the operation required two hands. If the roll was not held against rotation it was usually not possible to produce a transverse edge which extended at ninety degrees across the sheet material and this was undesirable.
- sheet material was flexible plastics sheet material (such as plastics food wrap) even if the roll was held against rotation the material had a tendency to gather up or fold onto itself during or as a consequence of the severing operation.
- a web roll dispenser was proposed.
- the carton in which the roll was purchased was discarded (regardless whether or not it had a serrated knife like that previously described) and the roll was placed into the dispenser from which discrete lengths of material could be severed from the roll.
- Such dispensers were provided primarily for aesthetic reasons and consisted of a container body with a lid or cover and had an elongate opening through which the material could be withdrawn. A straight edge was provided adjacent the opening and the material could be drawn across the edge to sever a length of material from the roll.
- U.K. patent specifieation 1407507 a dispenser and joiner was disclosed having a container for rotatably receiving a roll of plastics film.
- the container had a lid and the film was captured between the lid and an upper edge of the container during a severing operation in which the lid was held closed against the container.
- a knife was movably held by the lid and could be moved along the lid to sever a discrete length of material from the roll. Thus, a two part operation was involved. As the material was stretched by the movement of the knife there was a tendency for the roll to rotate within the container.
- the invention provides a dispenser including receiving means for holding a supply or roll of material, support means extending along said receiving means and against which a transverse portion of the material may locate, holding means adjacent said support means and biased relative thereto to hold the material therebetween, upper and lower jaw carriers each having jaw members extending therealong, said members on one said carrier having a profile complementary to that of the members on the other said carrier said carriers being movable relative to one another for engagement to hold and stretch the material between them and severing means associated with the members one said carrier normally concealed by the members and movable relative to the members to expose said severing means when said carriers are moved relative to one another to thereby sever the stretched material.
- the material may be paper or paper based, metal foil such as aluminium foil or plastics material such as food wrap or plastics material for other purposes.
- the receiving means may include a surface upon which the roll of material may rest.
- the receiving means may include spindle portions which locate within open ends of the cylindrical former which carries the roll of material.
- the receiving means may comprise an elongate body within which the roll may be placed and a cover normally extending over the body.
- the body may have one or more retaining walls which substantially enclose the roll.
- the body has a wall upon wl ⁇ ich the roll may rest.
- the wall may be a bottom wall of the body and be shaped or contoured to conform to the peripheral contour of the roll.
- the bottom wall is U or V shaped.
- the body may be provided with an opening through which the roll may be placed.
- the body need not completely surround or enclose the roll.
- the cover may be removable or movable to enable the roll to be. placed within the body.
- the body is substantially U shaped in transverse cross section. This shape has two side walls and a bottom wall which may all form one continuous wall of the body and two end walls. One side wall may for example be hinged relative to the bottom wall and in this way the roll of material may be positioned with the body.
- the body in use may be hand held or wall or surface mounted. Where the body is wall or surface mounted it is preferred that the body be provided with mounting means to facilitate this.
- the mounting means may com0rise adhesive pads secured to the body portion. Alternatively fixing apertures for receiving fasteners may be present through the body. In another form mounting brackets or plates or the like may form part of the body or be secured thereto.
- the body may be adapted to be free standing on a support surface. In which case one surface of the body may merely rest upon the support surface. Alternatively the body may have outwardly projecting legs upon which it may rest on the support surface. Preferably at least two legs are present. These legs may project downwardly from the body at two transversely spaced locations along.
- the cover is hinged to an edge of the body and may be moved from a position enabling a roll of material to be placed in the body to a position covering the body.
- the dispenser includes jaw carriers mounted for movement relative to one another.
- the jaw carriers include upper and lower jaw carriers.
- the upper carrier has jaw members extending along it.
- Preferably the jaw members are at a free edge of the carrier.
- the jaw members on one carrier are substantially complementary in shape to the members on the other carrier.
- the members on the upper carrier comprise two spaced rails having a recess between them. The rails extend outwardly from the carrier and are directed towards the members on the other carrier.
- the free edges of the members on the upper carrier are contoured to receive the members of the lower carrier.
- the upper carrier may be pivotally mounted relative to the cover whilst the lower carrier may be pivotally mounted to the body.
- the upper carrier is normally away fromthe lower carrier.
- the members on the lower carrier define a recess between them in which the severing means locates. These members normally conceal the blade and are movable, when the lower carrier pivots to uncover the blade.
- the members on the lower carrier have contoured free ends receivable by the jaw members of the upper carrier.
- the support means extends substantially the full length of the dispenser.
- the support means may comprise an outwardly directed or upstanding ledge or finger upon which a transverse portion of the material may locate.
- the support finger has two arms which are pivotally mounted. The pivotal mounting may be relative to the body.
- the finger is biased away from the lower jaw carrier. The biasing may be achieved by a leaf spring depending from the body portion.
- the finger has a curved transverse profile and, when viewed in plan, has an outwardly curved rear or trailing edge. Such a profile and edge assists in ensuring that the material does not crease or fold over on itself when drawn across the finger.
- the holding means extends substantially the full length of the dispenser.
- the holding means normally abuts the support means and material is captured or held between them so that a free edge of the material may be readily retrieved from the dispenser after a severing operation.
- the holding means may comprise a holding finger extending between two spaced arms.
- the arms may be pivotally mounted to enable the finger to move relative to the support finger .
- the holding f inger is biased towards the support finger.
- a coil spring may be employed for this purpose.
- the holding finger is pivotally mounted to the cover.
- the two spaced arms are pivotally mounted to the cover and the coil spring extends around a pivot pin securing the arms to the cover.
- the holding finger is preferably curved in transverse cross section to match the curve of the support finger.
- the severing means may include a cutting member.
- the cutting member in one embodiment extends transversely across the material.
- the cutting member may extend adjacent the support means or the holding means and be movable between a retracted or non-cutting position to an extended or cutting position.
- the cutting member may be caused to move from the retracted to the extended position as a consequence of cooperation between the upper and lower jaw carriers.
- the cutting member is adjacent the holding means and is brought into contact with the material as the jaw members engage.
- the cutting member is an elongate cutting blade.
- the cutting blade has a plurality of triangular outwardly extending cutting teeth for engaging the material. The teeth may first pierce the material and then cut the material as the blade is moved into the material.
- the blade may be mounted relative to the jaw members of the lower carrier.
- the cutting member may comprise a cutting blade which may be moved transversely of the material to sever a length of material from a supply of material.
- the blade may be relatively short in length and may be moved across the transverse portion of the material held between the holding and support means.
- the blade may be moved in a slot extending transversely of the material.
- the slot may be formed in the upper jaw carrier or the lower jaw carrier but preferably is formed in the upper carrier.
- Figure 1 is an end view of a dispenser according to an embodiment of the invention showing the dispenser in its closed position
- Figure 2 is an end view of the dispenser of figure 1 but shown in its open position
- Figure 3 is a plan view of the dispenser shown in the figure 2 position
- Figure 4 is a sectional view of the dispenser of figure 3 taken along lines IV-IV of figure 3;
- Figure 5 is a view of the dispenser in the figure 1 position but taken along the same sectional lines as that in figure 4;
- Figure 6 is a view of the dispenser much like that shown in figure 5 but after a discrete length of material has been severed from a roll of material.
- the dispenser 10 has a body 11 and a cover 12.
- the cover 12 has an upper jaw carrier 13 pivotally coupled to it at pivot 14.
- Cover 12 is pivotally coupled to the body 11 at pivot 15.
- Body 11 has downwardly extending lands 16 upon which the body may rest on a support surface (not shown).
- the dispenser 10 in figure 1 is shown in its rest position with jaw carrier 13 directed away from the forward end 17 of the body. Visible between carrier 13 and forward end 17 the support means 18, against which the holding means 19 projects, can be partially seen. Adjacent end 17 lower jaw members 20, 21 can be seen extending slightly above end 17.
- Figure 5 shows a sectional view of the dispenser taken along lines IV-IV of figure 3 but with the dispenser closed.
- the dispenser is in its rest position like that of figure 1.
- a roll of material 22 is held within the body 11 and normally concealed from view by cover 12.
- a free edge 23 of the roll material passes out between the support means 18 and the holding means 19 and may readily be grasped by a user.
- a lower arm 25 having a free end with jaw members 20, 21 located thereat. It should be understood that a similar arm to arm 25 is located at the opposite side of the dispenser and the members 20, 21 extend between those arms.
- the members 20, 21 have tapered distal ends as shown in the figure and have a groove or recess 29 located between them.
- a blade 26 extends between members 20, 21 and within the recess.
- the blade 26 is anchored or fixed between side faces 27 of the dispenser at locations 28 (see figure 3) and is stationary relative to the body 11 and concealed between members 20, 21 when in the rest position of figure 5.
- arm 25 is biased to the position shown in figure 5 by spring 30.
- Spring 31 abuts projection 32 on support means 18 to normally bias means 18 against or towards the holding means 19 to capture end 23 between them.
- Figure 6 shows the dispenser 10 at the end of a severing operation with the jaw carrier 13 in its most downward position whilst figure 5 shows the jaw carrier in its uppermost position.
- the jaw carrier has jaw members 33, 34 depending downwardly therefrom.
- Member 33 extends from one side of the dispenser to the other (see figure 3) as does member 34.
- These members have upwardly extending U shaped grooves with edges 35, 36.
- edges 37, 38 first engage edges 35, 36 respectively to ensure that the material from roll 22 is not only stretched to span between jaw members 33, 34 but also securely held or clamped between these members and members 20, 21.
- Recess 39 between members 33, 34, as shown in figure 6 receives the blade 26 when the jaw carrier 13 is pressed toward forward end 17 of the body. This action causes arm 25 to act against spring 30 and support means 18 to act against spring 31. In the figure 6 position the blade 26 acts to sever a length of material from the roll 22 as the material is moved relatively towards and over the blade 26. Since the material is securely held and stretched by members 20, 21 and 33, 34 the blade 26 (with its saw tooth serrations) can cleanly sever a discrete length of material from the roll 22. Once jaw carrier 13 is released from the figure 6 position it returns to the rest position of figure 5.
- the cover 12 is hinged about pivot 15 and the dispenser is moved to the figure 2 position.
- the roll 22 (see figure 4) is placed in the rear of the body 11 and free end 23 is withdrawn from the roll and trained over the support means 18. The dispenser may then be returned to the figure 5 position and is now ready for use.
- pivot 14 is formed by a bead or pin 40 which forms an upper edge part of the cover 12 which extends through apertured lobes 41 of holding means 19 and into parts 42 of the jaw carrier 13.
- Springs 43 extend around pins 40 to normally bias the upper carrier away from the lower one.
- Pivot 15 is provided by hinges 44.
- pivot 45 is formed by pins 46 which extend into lower arm 25 and also into holding means 18.
- axis 50 represents the axis about which jaw carrier 13 and holding means 19 may pivot.
- Axis 51 is the axis about which the cover pivots relative to the body 11.
- Axis 52 is the central axis of rotation of roll 22 as material is withdrawn therefrom and axis 53 is the axis about which the arm 25 and support means 18 pivot.
- the blade may be associated with the jaw carrier 13 rather than with the forward end of the body 11 and the arm 25.
- the members 33, 34 and 20, 21 may have their relative locations transposed.
- the trailing edge 60 (figure 3) of support means 18 may be arcuate or curved so as to be broader in the region between the sides of the dispenser. Such a construction assists in preventing the material gathering up on itself as it is withdrawn from the roll.
- the dispenser may be made in a variety of sizes to accommodate a variety of differently sized rolls or alternatively may be adapted to receive plugs 61 which locate in ends of the roll 22.
- Support means 18 extends almost the full length of the dispenser and may be thought of as a support finger. Because this finger is biased upwardly by spring 31 (figure 5) after a severing operation a free edge of the material is presented raised for easy retrieval by the user.
- the holding means 19 or holding finger 19 holds the material down against finger 18 to ensure that the free end is not lost.
- the jaw members 20, 21, 33, 34 are of complementary wedge shapes to ensure that maximum grip is afforded for minimum effort.
- the tapers on members 20, 21 are slightly wider than the recesses in members 33, 34 to stretch the material across recess 39 (figure 5) to ensure that the operation of the blade is quicker and easier.
- the blade may be made of plastics material or metaland by having saw tooth serrations and the way in which the material is held ensures that the blade cuts and does not tear the material. Since the blade is normally concealed it is not exposed where it may cause injury.
