Abstract
Description
L'invention concerne un appareil de distribution de matériaux d'essuyage stockés en rouleau ou pliés en Z et débités sous formes de bandes pliées en accordéon .The invention relates to an apparatus for dispensing wiping materials stored in a roll or folded in a Z shape and delivered in the form of bands folded in accordion.
L'objet de l'invention se rattache au secteur technique des moyens de distribution de matériaux d'essuyage du type papier, ouate, non tissés et autres.The object of the invention relates to the technical sector of the means of distribution of wiping materials of the paper, wadding, nonwoven and other type.
Selon les demandes N. 8805939 et 8807823 dont le déposant est également le titulaire, il a été proposé un appareil permettant de distribuer automatiquement des longueurs de bandes de matériaux d'essuyage chargés dans l'appareil sous la forme de rouleau, et débités sous la forme de bandes pliées en accordéon pour être très résistants à l'effort de traction manuelle sur la partie débordant de l'appareil lorsque l'utilisateur a les mains mouillées. Ladite bande pliée par des organes appropriés placés entre un moyen de renvoi et de conformation de la bande déroulée et les dispositifs d'entraînement et de coupe, reprend naturellement sa forme originale ou sensiblement pour offrir une surface suffisante d'essuyage.According to applications N. 8805939 and 8807823, of which the depositor is also the holder, a device has been proposed which makes it possible to automatically distribute lengths of strips of wiping material loaded into the device in the form of a roll, and delivered under the form of bands folded in accordion to be very resistant to the effort of manual traction on the projecting part of the device when the user has wet hands. Said strip folded by suitable members placed between a means for returning and shaping the unwound strip and the drive and cutting devices, naturally resumes its original shape or substantially to provide sufficient wiping surface.
Avec certains types de matériaux, il peut arriver malgré tout que lors d'une traction brutale ou désordonnée sur la bande débordante, le matériau soit déchiré avant la coupe, ce qui, on le comprend risque de bloquer l'appareil.With certain types of material, it can nevertheless happen that during a brutal or disorderly pull on the overflowing strip, the material is torn before cutting, which, we understand, risks blocking the device.
Pour remédier à celà, et selon une première caractéristique de l'invention, l'appareil est équipé d'un dispositif amortisseur dont la partie active est disposée pour agir sur la tension de la bande entre le point de stockage du rouleau et le moyen de renvoi et de conformation, et former automatiquement après chaque distribution de la bande pliée, par traction sur la bande débordante et par entraînement en rotation du rouleau de matériau, une boucle de matériau déroulé qui sera résorbée lors de la traction sur la bande suivante en évitant ainsi toute rupture inopinée du matériau débité par tension brutal.To remedy this, and according to a first characteristic of the invention, the apparatus is equipped with a damping device, the active part of which is arranged to act on the tension of the strip between the storage point of the roll and the means of return and conformation, and automatically form after each distribution of the folded strip, by pulling on the overflowing strip and by rotating the roll of material, a loop of unwound material which will be absorbed during the pull on the next strip, avoiding thus any unexpected rupture of the material delivered by sudden tension.
Selon une autre caractéristique, le dispositif amor tisseur est constitué par un arceau articulé sur les parois fixes de l'appareil et rappelé élastiquement contre le support de rouleau ; ledit arceau présentant sur sa partie transversale un moyen de renvoi de la bande déroulée facilitant le glissement et la formation de la boucle lors de la traction manuelle sur la bande débordante.According to another characteristic, the amor device weaver consists of a hoop articulated on the fixed walls of the device and resiliently biased against the roller support; said hoop having on its transverse part a means of returning the unwound strip facilitating the sliding and the formation of the loop during manual traction on the overflowing strip.
Une autre caractéristique se trouve dans le fait que pour contrôler plus précisement l'importance de la boucle formée par le dispositif amortisseur, le rouleau de matériau est monté à rotation freinée sur son support.Another characteristic is that in order to more precisely control the size of the loop formed by the damping device, the roll of material is rotatably mounted on its support.
A cet effet et selon une autre caractéristique, le support de rouleau, qui est assujetti à une partie de l'appareil articulée sur la partie de fixation à une surface d'utilisation, est constitué par deux embouts latéraux engageables dans le mandrin du rouleau par déplacement latéral en égard de deux axes fixés aux parois de la partie articulée, à l'encontre de ressorts à boudin convenablement tarés pour assurer le freinage désiré du rouleau.For this purpose and according to another characteristic, the roller support, which is secured to a part of the device articulated on the part for fixing to a use surface, is constituted by two lateral end pieces which can be engaged in the mandrel of the roller by lateral movement with regard to two axes fixed to the walls of the articulated part, against suitably calibrated coil springs to ensure the desired braking of the roller.
Pour ce type d'appareil, comprenant notamment sur la partie articulée à la partie de fixation, des moyens de renvoi et de conformation de la bande déroulée de son support, on a voulu également améliorer le glissement et la mise en forme de ladite bande avant son passage entre les organes de pliage disposés complémentairement sur les dites parties fixe et articulée.For this type of device, comprising in particular on the part articulated to the fixing part, means for returning and shaping the strip unwound from its support, we also wanted to improve the sliding and shaping of said front strip its passage between the folding members arranged additionally on said fixed and articulated parts.
Pour cela et selon une autre caractéristique, la face supérieure de la partie articulée recevant dans sa partie médiane le moyen de renvoi, présente de part et d'autre dudit moyen, une forme en arc de cercle s'étendant latéralement et vers le bas puis une rampe remontant sensiblement au niveau de la partie médiane ; la face supérieure étant profilée de manière convexe au moins au niveau des rampes pour améliorer le glissement de la bande ainsi guidée et conformée.For this and according to another characteristic, the upper face of the articulated part receiving in its middle part the return means, has on either side of said means, an arcuate shape extending laterally and downwards then a ramp rising substantially at the level of the middle part; the upper face being convexly profiled at least at the level of the ramps to improve the sliding of the strip thus guided and shaped.
Pour améliorer le chargement et le passage de la bande entre les moyens de pliage et les moyens d'entraînement et de coupe, on a prévu un aménagement particulier des saillies allongées de pliage établies complémentairement sur les parties fixes et articulées de l'appareil. Pour cela et selon d'autres caractéristiques, lesdites saillies sont fixées de manière réglable en hauteur par rapport à leur support, pour être toujours au plus près des moyens d'entraînement, ou bien elles sont interchangeables pour adapter leur position par rapport au diamètre des couples dentés d'entraînement, ou bien elles sont auto-orientables pour faciliter le passage de la bande de matériau, ou bien encore elles sont réalisées en matière souple et déformable sous forme pleine ou alvéolée.To improve the loading and the passage of the strip between the folding means and the drive means and cutting, a special arrangement has been made for the elongated folding projections established additionally on the fixed and articulated parts of the apparatus. For this and according to other characteristics, said projections are fixed in an adjustable manner in height relative to their support, so as to be always as close as possible to the drive means, or else they are interchangeable in order to adapt their position relative to the diameter of the toothed drive pairs, or they are self-orientable to facilitate the passage of the strip of material, or else they are made of flexible and deformable material in solid or cellular form.
On a également cherché à utiliser dans ce genre d'appareil des matériaux stockés en bandes pliées en Z. Dans ce cas, il est nécessaire de prévoir un moyen de stockage de la pile en lieu et place du support de rouleau et du dispositif amortisseur.Attempts have also been made to use in this type of apparatus materials stored in Z-folded strips. In this case, it is necessary to provide a means of storing the battery in place of the roll support and the damping device.
Pour cela, plusieurs solutions peuvent être envisagées dans le cadre de l'invention.For this, several solutions can be envisaged in the context of the invention.
Par exemple et selon d autres caractéristiques, le capot de fermeture de l'appareil coiffant à la fois les parties fixes et articulées, est agencé directement ou de manière rapportée pour recevoir et guider la pile, ou bien un bac pivotant et interchangeable est assujetti aux parois latérales de la partie articulée, ou bien encore l'emballage de la pile est prévu pour être logé entre le capot de fermeture et la partie articulée.For example and according to other characteristics, the closure cover of the device covering both the fixed and articulated parts, is arranged directly or in an attached manner to receive and guide the stack, or else a pivoting and interchangeable tray is subject to side walls of the articulated part, or alternatively the packaging of the battery is intended to be housed between the closure cover and the articulated part.
Ces caractéristiques et d'autres encore ressortiront de la description qui suit.These characteristics and others will emerge from the description which follows.

Afin de rendre plus concret l'objet de l'invention, on le décrit maintenant sous des formes non limitatives de réalisation illustrées aux figures des dessins.In order to make the object of the invention more concrete, it is now described in nonlimiting embodiments illustrated in the figures of the drawings.
L'apareil illustré à la figure 1 est du type correspondant à celui des demandes 8805939 et 8807823, c'est-à-dire qu'il est formé essentiellement d'une partie (A) de fixation à une surface quelconque, d'une partie (B) articulée à son extrémité inférieure par rapport à la partie (A) et d'un capot de fermeture (C) également articulé à la partie (A), par exemple, sur les mêmes axes (M).The apparatus illustrated in FIG. 1 is of the type corresponding to that of applications 8805939 and 8807823, that is to say that it is essentially formed by a part (A) for fixing to any surface, a part (B) articulated at its lower end with respect to part (A) and a closure cover (C) also articulated to part (A), for example, on the same axes (M).
La partie (A) est agencée à sa partie inférieure pour recevoir le dispositif (D) d'entraînement et de coupe du matériau plié qui est de préférence assemblé sous la forme d'une cassette interchangeable, notamment pour proposer des longueurs différentes des matériaux coupés. Près de son extrémité supérieure, la partie (A) porte des saillies allongées (E) espacées et convergeant l'une vers l'autre en partie basse, tandis que des saillies similaires (G) sont établies de la même manière sur la partie (B) pour autoriser le pliage en accordéon de la bande déroulée passant entre ces saillies s'interpénétrant. A son extrémité supérieure, la partie (B) porte un organe de renvoi de la bande, qui peut être constitué par un axe fou en forme de tonneau (H) pour centrer et préformer la bande déroulée. A son extrémité inférieure, la partie (B) est entaillée au centre pour laisser le passage à un galet (J) facilitant le glissement de la bande pliée engagée entre des roues dentées (K) d'entraînement en rotation de la bande.The part (A) is arranged at its lower part to receive the device (D) for driving and cutting the folded material which is preferably assembled in the form of an interchangeable cassette, in particular for proposing different lengths of the cut materials . Near its upper end, the part (A) carries elongated protrusions (E) spaced and converging towards each other in the lower part, while similar protrusions (G) are established in the same way on the part ( B) to authorize the folding in accordion of the unrolled strip passing between these interpenetrating projections. At its upper end, the part (B) carries a tape return member, which may be constituted by a crazy barrel-shaped axis (H) to center and preform the unrolled strip. At its lower end, the part (B) is notched in the center to allow passage to a roller (J) facilitating the sliding of the folded strip engaged between toothed wheels (K) for driving the strip in rotation.
Selon l'une des caractéristiques de l'invention, la face supérieure (1) de la partie (B) présente de part et d'autre de l'organe de renvoi (H) une forme en arc de cercle (1a) s'étendant latéralement et vers le bas puis une rampe (1b) remontant sensiblement au niveau de l'organe (H) en constituant ainsi un guidage de la bande déroulée. Pour faciliter le glissement de ladite bande, le profil en section de la dite face supérieure est convexe au moins au niveau des rampes.According to one of the characteristics of the invention, the upper face (1) of the part (B) has on either side of the return member (H) an arcuate shape (1a) s' extending laterally and downwards then a ramp (1b) rising substantially at the level of the member (H) thus constituting a guide for the unrolled strip. To facilitate the sliding of said strip, the sectional profile of said upper face is convex at least at the level of the ramps.
Selon une autre caractéristique importante l'appareil est équipé d'un dispositif amortisseur de choc (N) évitant la rupture inopinée du matériau d'essuyage lors de tractions manuelles brutales.According to another important characteristic, the device is equipped with a shock absorbing device (N) preventing the unexpected rupture of the wiping material during brutal manual pulls.
Pour cela, il est prévu un arceau (2) articulé par ses branches latérales (2a) sur les parois d'extrémité (A1) de la partie (A), de préférence sur les axes (M). La branche transversale (2b) porte au moins dans sa partie médiane un arbre rotatif (3) de renvoi de la bande déroulée de son rouleau de stockage (R) dans le sens de chargement indiqué. Cet arbre peut être cylindrique ou en forme de tonneau, comme l'organe (H). L'arceau est soumis à l'action de deux ressorts (4) attachés aux parois latérales (B1) de la partie (B) pour le maintenir appliqué contre les axes de montage du rouleau de matériau.For this, there is provided a hoop (2) articulated by its lateral branches (2a) on the end walls (A1) of the part (A), preferably on the axes (M). The transverse branch (2b) carries at least in its middle part a rotary shaft (3) for returning the unwound strip from its storage roller (R) in the direction of loading indicated. This tree can be cylindrical or barrel-shaped, like the member (H). The hoop is subjected to the action of two springs (4) attached to the side walls (B1) of the part (B) to keep it applied against the mounting axes of the roll of material.
Ainsi, comme on le voit à la figure 1, après le chargement du rouleau, lorsqu'on tire sur la bande pliée débordant de l'appareil, l'arceau (2) sous l'effet de traction pivote vers l'arrière d'un angle proportionnel à la force de traction. Après la coupe de la bande annulant la tension de la bande, l'arceau, rappelé par ses ressorts, revient en position de butée avant et son arbre (3) tire sur le matériau en obligeant le rouleau (R) à tourner dans le sens du déroulement. Par glissement dû à la vitesse de traction, la bande s'est déroulée un peu plus et une boucle apparait entre l'arbre (3) et l'axe (H). A la traction suivante, la boucle ainsi formée se réduira, puis de nouveau l'arceau sera déplacé vers l'arrière, le rouleau (R) sera entraîné en rotation, et au retour de l'arceau une nouvelle boucle sera formée. De cette manière, lors de la traction même très brutale sur la bande débordante, il ne peut y avoir de tension excessive au niveau du rouleau de matériau et donc pas de rupture imprévue de la bande.Thus, as seen in Figure 1, after loading the roll, when pulling on the folded strip projecting from the device, the hoop (2) under the pulling effect pivots towards the rear of an angle proportional to the tensile force. After cutting the strip canceling the tension of the strip, the arch, recalled by its springs, returns to the front stop position and its shaft (3) pulls on the material, forcing the roller (R) to turn in the direction of the course. By slip due to the pulling speed, the strip has unrolled a little more and a loop appears between the shaft (3) and the axis (H). At the next pull, the loop thus formed will reduce, then again the arch will be moved backwards, the roller (R) will be rotated, and when the arch returns a new loop will be formed. In this way, during the very brutal traction even on the overflowing strip, there can be no excessive tension at the level of the roll of material and therefore no unexpected break of the strip.
Pour contrôler de manière plus précise la formation de la boucle d'amortissement, on prévoit de monter le rouleau de matériau de manière freinée. Par exemple, comme illustré à la figure 3, les deux parois latérales (B1) portent un axe (5) sur lequel peut coulisser et tourner un embout épaulé (6) pour le montage et le centrage du mandrin (R1) du rouleau. Un ressort à boudin (7) convenablement taré est interposé entre la paroi (B1) et l'épaulement de l'embout pour freiner le déroulement du rouleau et pour autoriser le montage rapide et aisé du dit rouleau par poussée sur les embouts.To control the formation of the damping loop more precisely, provision is made to mount the roll of material in a braked manner. For example, as illustrated in FIG. 3, the two side walls (B1) carry an axis (5) on which can slide and turn a stepped end piece (6) for mounting and centering the mandrel (R1) of the roller. A properly calibrated coil spring (7) is interposed between the wall (B1) and the shoulder of the end piece to slow down the unwinding of the roll and to allow rapid and easy mounting of said roll by pushing on the end pieces.
Les essais de pliage, d'entraînement et de coupe effectués avec l'appareil selon les précédentes demandes, ont fait apparaître quelques problèmes. En particulier, lorsqu'on met en place des moyens d'entraînement (K) de diamètres différents (cassettes interchangeables) ou fait varier la distance entre les saillies (E et G) et lesdits moyens (K) ce qui peut nuire au bon fonctionnement, notamment pour le chargement, le pliage et l'entraînement.The bending, driving and cutting tests carried out with the apparatus according to the previous requests, revealed some problems. In particular, when putting in place drive means (K) of different diameters (interchangeable cassettes) or varying the distance between the projections (E and G) and said means (K) which can adversely affect the proper functioning , especially for loading, folding and driving.
Pour cela, on a prévu différentes manières de réaliser les saillies (E et G). Par exemple, elles peuvent être fixées de façon à pouvoir être aisément interchangeables afin qu'elles soient disposées toujours au plus près des moyens d'entraînement. Toutes les saillies sauf les extrêmes, peuvent être fixées de manière auto-orientable avec une oscillation limitée pour faciliter le passage du matériau. Elles peuvent également être réalisées dans une matière souple et déformable et sous une forme pleine ou alvéolée.For this, we have provided different ways of making the projections (E and G). For example, they can be fixed so that they can be easily interchangeable so that they are always arranged as close as possible to the drive means. All the projections except the ends, can be fixed in a self-orientable manner with a limited oscillation to facilitate the passage of the material. They can also be made of a flexible and deformable material and in a solid or honeycomb form.
Comme indiqué en préambule, il est possible avec ce type d'appareil d'utiliser des bandes de matériau pliées en Z. Dans ce cas, la pile dudit matériau doit être supportée et guidée en amont des organes de renvoi et de conformation disposés à la place du support de rouleau et de l'arceau qui n'a plus alors d'utilité du fait que la bande pliée en Z remplit le rôle d'amortisseur de tension.As indicated in the preamble, it is possible with this type of device to use strips of material bent in Z. In this case, the stack of said material must be supported and guided upstream of the return and shaping members arranged at the place of the roller support and the hoop which then no longer has any use because the strip folded in Z fulfills the role of tension damper.
Pour résoudre ce problème de stockage de la pile, plusieures solutions peuvent être envisagées.To solve this problem of storing the battery, several solutions can be envisaged.
Par exemple, comme illustré à la figure 4, le capot de fermeture (C) peut directement ou de manière rapportée, présenter des guides latéraux (C1) et éventuellement des supports inférieurs (C2) de la pile (P) qui sera mise en place horizontalement par basculement vers l'avant du capot.For example, as illustrated in FIG. 4, the closing cover (C) can directly or in a reported manner, present lateral guides (C1) and possibly lower supports (C2) of the stack (P) which will be put in place horizontally by tilting the hood forward.
Sélon la figure 5, un bac (8) est monté à articulation sur les axes (M) pour recevoir également par basculement avant, la pile (P) sur un fond (Ba) et contre une paroi avant (8b).According to Figure 5, a tray (8) is hinged on the axes (M) to also receive by tilting before, the stack (P) on a bottom (Ba) and against a front wall (8b).
A la figure 6, on a prévu tout simplement de loger entre le capot (C) de fermeture et la partie articulée (B) un emballage (9) contenant la pile de matériau plié en Z.In FIG. 6, provision has simply been made to accommodate between the cover (C) for closure and the articulated part (B) a package (9) containing the stack of material folded in Z.
Les avantages ressortent bien de la description, on souligne notamment la fiabilité de l'appareil dont l'amortisseur permet de ditribuer tous types de matériaux d'essuyage sans risque de rupture avant la coupe prévue. La possibilité de distribuer indifféremment des rouleaux ou des bandes pliées en Z.The advantages clearly emerge from the description, in particular the reliability of the device is emphasized, the damper of which allows all types of wiping materials to be distributed without risk of breaking before the planned cut. The possibility of distributing either rolls or Z-folded strips.
