- the flanges or arms of a reel holder are hinged relative to the housing so that the coil of material the wiper comes into contact with the drum itself.
- anti-loop devices especially in the patent FR No. 2643808.
- These anti-loop devices make intervene sets of tilting levers mounted relative to the spool holder and which are likely to have a pivoting effect to reduce or compensate the phenomenon of the loop and put in tension the strip of material.
- Such sets are working very satisfying but are likely to hinder loading the device, being facing and in the front plane of the coil of material.
- Another disadvantage is also the cost of the molds required for implementation of the anti-loop device. Despite all the precautions taken, it can be also produce the distribution of several strips of material.
- the object of the invention was therefore to remedy these drawbacks by proposing a better adapted solution that is not an inconvenience for the user when mounting and charging the device.
- the Applicant has turned to a technical concept that can, in principle, be used for where the loading coil is suspended on the carrier flanges, or the coil is supported on the drum by pivoting a reel holder with articulated arms or flanges.
- the apparatus for dispensing wiping material of the type comprising a housing, a cover, a drum, a cutting device integrated in the drum, means for launching and returning the drum including an eccentric and a launch spring, arranged from one side side of the drum, the side flanges being arranged to support the reel holder, is notable in that it includes an anti-material loop device from the reel of material including at least one acting mechanism on the reel holder by locking in position the latter, this mechanism being arranged on one of the lateral flanges of the casing, and being actuated by a device counterweight integrated into the rotating drum movement and ensuring the in operation or not the locking of the reel holder in case of solicitation and strong traction of the strip of material.
- the distributor device referenced as a whole by (1) is arranged with a anti-loop device of material from the material coil, this device including at least a first mechanism acting on the coil carrier in blocking this position, said first mechanism being arranged to be disposed on a first flange of the dispensing apparatus, and this as well for apparatus with the coil of material suspended on a fixed flange, that the reel resting on the drum, the arms of an articulated support spool holder.
- the integral ends of the fixed flanges or arms of a articulated coil carriers are thus arranged with specific shapes constituting anchoring zones of complementary means arranged on the mechanisms in question likely to be solicited.
- the drum (4) is of the type comprising a means whose lateral ends form flange holder of the cutting blade holder.
- One of the flanges is in practice arranged with an ovoid plate (10) provided with a profiled opening (10a) while a second inner plate (10b) also formed integral with the sleeve (11) supporting the flange (10), has an opening (10c) for the introduction of a support shaft (12a) of a hinged mass (12).
- said feeder thus has a finger (12b) forming a hinge pin, and an offset (12c) projecting outwardly through the opening (10a) formed on the ovoid plate (10).
- the protruding end (12c) of the weight (12) thus comes substantially facing the inner face of the flange of the housing. This weight is free to pivot and is articulated by gravity during rotation drum (4) and therefore its end flanges.
- the anti-loop device capable of acting on the reel holder mounted on the side flange is designed by the following arrangement:
- the spool flange (2a) is arranged to receive a fitting (13) mounted rotating and engageable in the mandrel (14) of the reel of material.
- This tip (13) has a cylindrical surface (13a) engaging in said mandrel and is extended by a disc (15) arranged on its periphery with a multitude of projections or teeth (15a) spaced regularly between them.
- a lever (16) of great length whose upper end (16a) forming a head is mounted pivoting on a connecting pin (17) integral with the side flange (2a) of the housing, and whose position allows the approximation to ensure the blocking function.
- the upper end (16a) of said lever secures an end (18a) a return spring (18) whose other end (18b) is integral with the flange side of the housing. Said return spring (18) is de-energized in case of no biasing the lever (16)
- the latter is also arranged with a finger (16b) protruding located opposite the notched disc.
- the lower part (16c) of the lever (16) is arranged with an end opposite the side flange of the drum supporting the weight (12) above.
- said lever (16) has, near its lower part, an inner hook shape (16d) which is likely to be guided and held by a fixed lug (19) secured to the inner face (2a) of the side flange of the housing, limiting the lateral movement of the lever.
- a protruding abutment (20) is capable of retaining the lever (16) in the other direction, thus acting as a stroke limiter.
- the tip (13) receiving the mandrel of the coil wiper may be arranged with a peripheral recess (13b) forming housing capable of receiving rolling means (21) of the needle type held by semi-circular half-flanges (22)
- a band or belt (23) covers the assembly and serves as a support plane to the coil.
- the operation of the device is as follows.
- the weight (12) does not have the material time to switch in its housing in to pass under the end of the lever (16).
- that weight (12) carried by the rotational speed of the drum then comes into abutment against the lower end of the lever (16) above. It provokes by its support, the tilting of said lever and against its spring (18) associated with the part superior head.
- the protruding finger (16b) is also tilted and comes into the space opposite between two consecutive teeth (15a) of notched disc. This penetration then causes the locking in position of the reel holder.
- the belt (23) mounted on the end piece (13) ensures an effect of complementary braking of the reel mandrel.
- the disc (15) can be made in the form of a polygonal section against which successively bears the aforementioned finger (16b).
- other configurations of the disk (15) can be engaged to ensure the support effect, stop and lock lever.
- the leveling is automatic by the return of the drum thanks to the spring of recall of the eccentric and the effect of returning the material back onto the reel holder.
- the bobbin holder (25) is made in a U-shape with the lateral arms (25a) are arranged with a tip (13) capable of penetrating in the mandrel of the spool.
- One of the arms (25a) of this reel holder can be itself pivoted to facilitate the loading of the device. of the resilient return and tensioning means of this reel holder allows to put in contact and support the coil and the drum.
- the anti-loop device is thus arranged as follows.
- the tip (13) penetrating the mandrel is made in the manner described previously, so that the references used are the same.
- the drum is arranged similarly with, near one of its flanges, a flyweight (12) providing the anti-return function of the drum.
- the anti-loop mechanism is as follows.
- a first lever (26) is disposed from the bottom wall of the housing while being articulated on an axis (27) penetrating into the lateral flange of the housing opposite and on an inner lug (28) receiving the reel holder with articulation using a span (29) and a connecting pin (30)
- the reel arm is advantageously U-shaped so that it can receive internally a block (31) parallelepiped capable of sliding inside said arm.
- the face of bottom of said arm has a slot (32) oriented oblique and oblong susceptible to allow the movement and sliding of a projecting finger (33) established on the. block (31) above, according to high and low positions.
- This block (31) is integral with a second L-shaped lever (34) whose upper branch (34a) is coupled to the block (31) and the lower branch (34b) is mounted on the pivot axis of the bobbin holder.
- the end (34b) of said second lever has a oblong notch (34c) in which said axis (30) slides, thus allowing vary the position of the second lever (34) and therefore of the block (31) which is associated.
- the lug (28) molded in the housing is established between the lower part of said second lever (34) and the zone (26a) for pivoting and anchoring said first lever (26).
- the lug (28) thus has an opening (28a) for passage of the connecting pin with the first lever (26) and a second opening (28b) for the passage of the connection with the second lever (34) and the articulation base of the reel arm.
- a return spring (36) is arranged between the first lever (26) with a point of fixing and the second lever (34) at its bent portion (34d).
- the positioning is therefore the following.
- non-solicitation phase that is to say that the drum of the apparatus turns Normally and the flyweight returns to its normal position, there is no intervention on the first lever.
- the spool holder can rotate normally.
- the weight (12) associated with the drum may not return to its original position. She then comes into abutment against the free end (26c) of the first lever (26) in causing it to pivot and tilt. This pivoting will put in contact the free end of the first lever with the underside of the second lever (34) causing it to move upwardly along the arm spool. This movement will cause the movement of the associated finger (33) block (31) and allowing its positioning inside between two teeth (15a) consecutive circular plate (15) toothed tip. There will also be blockage in position of the tip preventing the rotation of the coil. The The lever (26) is released by the flyweight automatically in the same conditions as previously indicated.
- the mechanism includes the following arrangements.
- the flange in the fixed version, is arranged with a central hub (37), fixed by screw or otherwise.
- This hub (37) is shouldered and receives at the end a tip (38) hat-shaped profile with an outer reach (38a) receiving the mandrel of the spool and a lid shape (38b) surrounding the aforementioned hub.
- a spiral spring (39) is disposed in the housing thus formed with a end (39a) fixed to the flange and the other end (39b) fixed on the lid.
- the rotation of the reel under the pulling effect of the paper by the user will cause the reel means to rotate in a direction in causing the bandage of the spring and storing energy.
- This tension is maintained during the holding time of the free end of the tape paper.
- the suppression of this maintenance provokes by elastic relaxation, the return in back of the material strip by removing its loop effect that could have been realized.
- a stop (40) ensures the limitation of stroke and rotation of the endpiece (38).
- a wipe material strip dispensing apparatus can thus be arranged with the different mechanisms to avoid the effects of loops mentioned above.

Abstract
Description
L'invention se rattache au secteur technique des appareils de distribution de papier d'essuyage en ouate de cellulose, papier crêpé ou matériau similaire, destiné plus particulièrement à l'essuyage des mains des utilisateurs, à la distribution de papier toilette, à la distribution de serviettes en papier. Ces papiers peuvent être sous forme pliée ou non pliée.The invention relates to the technical sector of paper dispensing apparatus wiping cloth of cellulose wadding, creped paper or similar material, intended for especially when wiping users' hands, distributing paper toilet, to the distribution of paper towels. These papers may be under folded or unfolded shape.
Le Demandeur a développé de nombreux brevets sur des appareils du type précité dans des versions automatique et semi-automatique, et distribution de bandes de papier en provenance d'une bobine de chargement.The Applicant has developed numerous patents on devices of the aforementioned type in automatic and semi-automatic versions, and distribution of paper from a loading reel.
On rappelle succinctement les principaux composants d'un tel appareil. Un appareil distributeur de matériau d'essuyage référencé dans son ensemble par (1) comprend un carter (2), un couvercle (3), un tambour (4), un dispositif de coupe (5 - 6) intégré dans le tambour, ainsi que des moyens de lancement et de rappel du tambour incluant un excentrique (7) et un ressort (8). Dans sa partie haute, le carter est agencé avec des flasques latéraux (2a) susceptibles de recevoir le porte-bobine (9) d'une bobine d'essuyage (B). Ces flasques peuvent être à position fixe et, dans ce cas, la bobine de matériau d'essuyage est montée en suspension par rapport au tambour. Dans une variante, les flasques ou bras d'un porte-bobine sont montés articulés par rapport au carter de telle sorte que la bobine de matériau d'essuyage vienne en contact avec le tambour proprement dit.The main components of such a device are briefly described. A Apparatus dispensing wiper material referenced as a whole by (1) comprises a housing (2), a cover (3), a drum (4), a cutting device (5) - 6) integrated in the drum, as well as means for launching and recalling the drum including an eccentric (7) and a spring (8). In its upper part, the casing is arranged with side flanges (2a) capable of receiving the spool holder (9) a wiping spool (B). These flanges can be fixed position and in this case, the coil of wiping material is suspended in compared to the drum. In a variant, the flanges or arms of a reel holder are hinged relative to the housing so that the coil of material the wiper comes into contact with the drum itself.
De telles dispositions sont bien courantes sur ce type d'appareil. La traction de la bande de papier par l'utilisateur est susceptible d'être exercée de manière très variable avec une force plus ou moins importante, sans compter le sens directionnel de la traction qui peut être un paramètre supplémentaire dans le fonctionnement de l'appareil distributeur. Il peut alors se produire un phénomène d'apparition de boucles entre la bobine de matériau d'essuyage et le tambour sur une longueur de bande pouvant être de quclques centimètres. Such provisions are very common on this type of device. The traction of the paper tape by the user is likely to be exercised very variable with a greater or lesser force, without counting the meaning directional traction which may be an additional parameter in the operation of the dispensing apparatus. It can then occur a phenomenon of occurrence of loops between the coil of wiping material and the drum on a tape length of up to four centimeters.
Pour remédier à cet inconvénient, le Demandeur a développé des dispositifs anti-boucle notamment dans le brevet FR N° 2643808. Ces dispositifs anti-boucle font intervenir des ensembles de leviers basculants montés par rapport au porte-bobine et qui sont susceptibles d'avoir un effet de pivotement pour réduire ou compenser le phénomène de la boucle et mettre en tension la bande de matériau. De tels ensembles sont de fonctionnement très satisfaisant mais sont susceptibles de gêner le chargement de l'appareil, étant face et dans le plan frontal de la bobine de matériau.To remedy this drawback, the Applicant has developed anti-loop devices especially in the patent FR No. 2643808. These anti-loop devices make intervene sets of tilting levers mounted relative to the spool holder and which are likely to have a pivoting effect to reduce or compensate the phenomenon of the loop and put in tension the strip of material. Such sets are working very satisfying but are likely to hinder loading the device, being facing and in the front plane of the coil of material.
Un autre inconvénient réside aussi dans le coût des moules nécessaires à la réalisation du dispositif anti-boucle. Malgré toutes les précautions prises, il peut se produire aussi la distribution de plusieurs bandes de matériau.Another disadvantage is also the cost of the molds required for implementation of the anti-loop device. Despite all the precautions taken, it can be also produce the distribution of several strips of material.
Le but recherché selon l'invention était donc de remédier à ces inconvénients en proposant une solution mieux adaptée qui ne soit pas une gêne pour l'utilisateur lors du montage et du chargement de l'appareil.The object of the invention was therefore to remedy these drawbacks by proposing a better adapted solution that is not an inconvenience for the user when mounting and charging the device.
Selon un autre but recherché de l'invention, le Demandeur s'est orienté sur un concept technique qui puisse être, dans son principe, utilisé aussi bien pour des appareils où la bobine de chargement est suspendue sur les flasques porteurs, ou la bobine est en appui sur.le tambour grâce au pivotement d'un porte-bobine avec bras ou flasques articulés.According to another desired object of the invention, the Applicant has turned to a technical concept that can, in principle, be used for where the loading coil is suspended on the carrier flanges, or the coil is supported on the drum by pivoting a reel holder with articulated arms or flanges.
Selon une première caractéristique, l'appareil distributeur de matériau d'essuyage, du type comprenant un carter, un couvercle, un tambour, un dispositif de coupe intégré dans le tambour, des moyens de lancement et de rappel du tambour incluant un excentrique et un ressort de lancement, disposés à partir d'un côté latéral du tambour, les flasques latéraux étant agencés pour supporter le porte-bobine, est remarquable en ce qu'il comprend un dispositif anti-boucle de matériau en provenance de la bobine de matériau incluant au moins un mécanisme agissant sur le porte-bobine en bloquant en position ce dernier, ce mécanisme étant disposé sur l'un des flasques latéraux du carter, et étant actionné par un dispositif en masselotte intégré dans le mouvement du tambour en rotation et assurant la mise en fonctionnement ou non du blocage du porte-bobine en cas de sollicitation et traction forte de la bande de matériau.According to a first characteristic, the apparatus for dispensing wiping material, of the type comprising a housing, a cover, a drum, a cutting device integrated in the drum, means for launching and returning the drum including an eccentric and a launch spring, arranged from one side side of the drum, the side flanges being arranged to support the reel holder, is notable in that it includes an anti-material loop device from the reel of material including at least one acting mechanism on the reel holder by locking in position the latter, this mechanism being arranged on one of the lateral flanges of the casing, and being actuated by a device counterweight integrated into the rotating drum movement and ensuring the in operation or not the locking of the reel holder in case of solicitation and strong traction of the strip of material.

Afin de rendre plus concret l'objet de l'invention, on le décrit maintenant d'une manière non limitative illustrée aux figures des dessins. In order to make the object of the invention more concrete, it is now described non-limiting manner illustrated in the figures of the drawings.
L'appareil distributeur référencé dans son ensemble par (1) est agencé avec un dispositif anti-boucle de matériau en provenance de la bobine de matériau, ce dispositif incluant au moins un premier mécanisme agissant sur le porte-bobine en bloquant en position celui-ci, ledit premier mécanisme étant agencé pour être disposé sur un premier flasque de l'appareil distributeur, et ce aussi bien pour des appareils présentant la bobine de matériau en suspension sur un flasque fixe, que la bobine en appui sur le tambour, les bras d'un porte-bobine supports articulé.The distributor device referenced as a whole by (1) is arranged with a anti-loop device of material from the material coil, this device including at least a first mechanism acting on the coil carrier in blocking this position, said first mechanism being arranged to be disposed on a first flange of the dispensing apparatus, and this as well for apparatus with the coil of material suspended on a fixed flange, that the reel resting on the drum, the arms of an articulated support spool holder.
Selon l'invention, les embouts solidaires du ou des flasques fixes ou bras d'un porte-bobine articulés sont ainsi aménagés avec des formes spécifiques constituant des zones d'ancrage de moyens complémentaires disposés sur les mécanismes en question susceptibles d'être sollicités.According to the invention, the integral ends of the fixed flanges or arms of a articulated coil carriers are thus arranged with specific shapes constituting anchoring zones of complementary means arranged on the mechanisms in question likely to be solicited.
En pratique, il convient d'identifier certains composants complémentaires à l'appareil distributeur dans chacune de ses versions à flasque fixe ou porte-bobine articulé à partir desquels les mécanismes du dispositif de l'invention sont mis en oeuvre.In practice, it is necessary to identify certain complementary components to the dispensing apparatus in each of its fixed-flange or spool-holder versions articulated from which the mechanisms of the device of the invention are artwork.
Le tambour (4) est du type comprenant un moyen dont les extrémités latérales forment flasque support du porte-lame de coupe. L'un des flasques est en pratique agencé avec une plaque ovoïde (10) munie d'une ouverture profilée (10a) tandis qu'une seconde plaque intérieure (10b) également formée solidaire avec le manchon (11) support du flasque (10), présente une ouverture (10c) pour l'introduction d'un axe support (12a) d'une masselotte (12) articulée. Ladite masselotte présente ainsi un doigt (12b) formant axe d'articulation, et un déport (12c) en saillie extérieure susceptible de traverser l'ouverture (10a) formée sur la plaque ovoïde (10). L'extrémité en saillie (12c) de la masselotte (12) vient ainsi sensiblement en regard de la face intérieure du flasque du carter. Cette masselotte est montée libre en pivotement et elle est articulée par gravité lors de la rotation du tambour (4) et donc de ses flasques d'extrémité. The drum (4) is of the type comprising a means whose lateral ends form flange holder of the cutting blade holder. One of the flanges is in practice arranged with an ovoid plate (10) provided with a profiled opening (10a) while a second inner plate (10b) also formed integral with the sleeve (11) supporting the flange (10), has an opening (10c) for the introduction of a support shaft (12a) of a hinged mass (12). said feeder thus has a finger (12b) forming a hinge pin, and an offset (12c) projecting outwardly through the opening (10a) formed on the ovoid plate (10). The protruding end (12c) of the weight (12) thus comes substantially facing the inner face of the flange of the housing. This weight is free to pivot and is articulated by gravity during rotation drum (4) and therefore its end flanges.
Selon l'invention, le dispositif anti-boucle susceptible d'agir sur le porte-bobine monté sur le flasque latéral est conçu par l'agencement suivant :According to the invention, the anti-loop device capable of acting on the reel holder mounted on the side flange is designed by the following arrangement:
Le flasque porte-bobine (2a) est agencé pour recevoir un embout (13) monté tournant et susceptible de s'engager dans le mandrin (14) de la bobine de matériau. Cet embout (13) présente une portée cylindrique (13a) s'engageant dans ledit mandrin et se prolonge par un disque (15) agencé sur sa périphérie avec une multitude de saillies ou dents (15a) espacées régulièrement entre elles. Entre le flasque latéral (2a) du carter et le disque (15) de l'embout, est monté un levier (16) de grande longueur dont l'extrémité supérieure (16a) formant tête est montée pivotante sur un axe de liaison (17) solidaire du flasque (2a) latéral du carter, et dont la position permet le rapprochement pour assurer la fonction de blocage. L'extrémité supérieure (16a) dudit levier assure la fixation d'une extrémité (18a) d'un ressort de rappel (18) dont l'autre extrémité (18b) est solidaire du flasque latéral du carter. Ledit ressort de rappel (18) est hors tension en cas de non sollicitation du levier (16) Ce dernier est par ailleurs agencé avec un doigt (16b) en saillie situé en regard sur le disque cranté. La partie basse (16c) du levier (16) est agencée avec une extrémité située en regard du flasque latéral du tambour supportant la masselotte (12) précitée. En outre, ledit levier (16) présente, près de sa partie basse, une forme intérieure en crochet (16d) qui est susceptible d'être guidée et maintenue par une patte fixe (19) solidaire de la face intérieure (2a) du flasque latéral du carter, limitant le débattement latéral du levier. En outre et en opposition à cette patte, une butée (20) en saillie est susceptible de retenir le levier (16) dans l'autre sens en agissant ainsi comme limiteur de course.The spool flange (2a) is arranged to receive a fitting (13) mounted rotating and engageable in the mandrel (14) of the reel of material. This tip (13) has a cylindrical surface (13a) engaging in said mandrel and is extended by a disc (15) arranged on its periphery with a multitude of projections or teeth (15a) spaced regularly between them. Between the side flange (2a) of the housing and the disk (15) of the end piece, is mounted a lever (16) of great length whose upper end (16a) forming a head is mounted pivoting on a connecting pin (17) integral with the side flange (2a) of the housing, and whose position allows the approximation to ensure the blocking function. The upper end (16a) of said lever secures an end (18a) a return spring (18) whose other end (18b) is integral with the flange side of the housing. Said return spring (18) is de-energized in case of no biasing the lever (16) The latter is also arranged with a finger (16b) protruding located opposite the notched disc. The lower part (16c) of the lever (16) is arranged with an end opposite the side flange of the drum supporting the weight (12) above. In addition, said lever (16) has, near its lower part, an inner hook shape (16d) which is likely to be guided and held by a fixed lug (19) secured to the inner face (2a) of the side flange of the housing, limiting the lateral movement of the lever. In addition and in opposed to this tab, a protruding abutment (20) is capable of retaining the lever (16) in the other direction, thus acting as a stroke limiter.
A titre complémentaire, l'embout (13) récepteur du mandrin de la bobine d'essuyage peut être agencé avec un évidement (13b) central périphérique formant logement susceptible de recevoir des moyens à roulement (21) du type à aiguilles maintenue par des demi-brides (22) semi-circulaires Une bande ou courroie (23) recouvre l'ensemble et sert de plan d'appui à la bobine. In addition, the tip (13) receiving the mandrel of the coil wiper may be arranged with a peripheral recess (13b) forming housing capable of receiving rolling means (21) of the needle type held by semi-circular half-flanges (22) A band or belt (23) covers the assembly and serves as a support plane to the coil.
Dans cette mise en oeuvre, le fonctionnement du dispositif est le suivant. Lorsque l'opérateur tire la bande de matériau selon une force trop importante, il peut arriver que la masselotte (12) n'ait pas le temps matériel de basculer dans son logement en vue de passer sous l'extrémité du levier (16). Dans cette situation, ladite masselotte (12) emportée par la vitesse de rotation du tambour vient alors en butée contre l'extrémité basse du levier (16) précité. Elle provoque de par son appui, le basculement dudit levier et ce à l'encontre de son ressort (18) associé à la partie supérieure formant tête. En outre, le doigt (16b) en saillie est également basculé et vient pénétrer dans l'espace en regard entre deux dents (15a) consécutives du disque cranté. Cette pénétration provoque alors le blocage en position du porte-bobine. En outre, la courroie (23) montée sur l'embout (13) assure un effet de freinage complémentaire du mandrin de bobine.In this implementation, the operation of the device is as follows. When the operator pulls the strip of material too much force, it can happen that the weight (12) does not have the material time to switch in its housing in to pass under the end of the lever (16). In this situation, that weight (12) carried by the rotational speed of the drum then comes into abutment against the lower end of the lever (16) above. It provokes by its support, the tilting of said lever and against its spring (18) associated with the part superior head. In addition, the protruding finger (16b) is also tilted and comes into the space opposite between two consecutive teeth (15a) of notched disc. This penetration then causes the locking in position of the reel holder. In addition, the belt (23) mounted on the end piece (13) ensures an effect of complementary braking of the reel mandrel.
En variante, le disque (15) peut être réalisé sous forme d'une section polygonale contre laquelle prend appui successivement le doigt (16b) précité. D'autres configurations du disque (15) peuvent être engagées pour assurer l'effet d'appui, de butée et de blocage du levier.As a variant, the disc (15) can be made in the form of a polygonal section against which successively bears the aforementioned finger (16b). other configurations of the disk (15) can be engaged to ensure the support effect, stop and lock lever.
La remise à niveau est automatique par le retour du tambour grâce au ressort de rappel de l'excentrique et l'effet de retour en arrière du matériau sur le porte-bobine.The leveling is automatic by the return of the drum thanks to the spring of recall of the eccentric and the effect of returning the material back onto the reel holder.
On se réfère maintenant à la seconde mise en oeuvre illustrée figures 5 à 8. D'une manière connue, le support porte-bobine (25) est établi selon une forme en U dont les bras latéraux (25a) sont agencés avec un embout (13) susceptible de pénétrer dans le mandrin de la bobine. L'un des bras (25a) de ce support porte-bobine peut être lui-même monté pivotant pour faciliter le chargement de l'appareil. Des moyens élastiques de rappel et de mise en tension de ce support porte-bobine permet de mettre en contact et appui la bobine et le tambour.Reference is now made to the second embodiment illustrated in FIGS. in known manner, the bobbin holder (25) is made in a U-shape with the lateral arms (25a) are arranged with a tip (13) capable of penetrating in the mandrel of the spool. One of the arms (25a) of this reel holder can be itself pivoted to facilitate the loading of the device. of the resilient return and tensioning means of this reel holder allows to put in contact and support the coil and the drum.
Le dispositif anti-boucle est ainsi agencé comme suit. The anti-loop device is thus arranged as follows.
L'embout (13) pénétrant dans le mandrin est réalisé de la manière décrite précédemment, de sorte que les références utilisées sont les mêmes.The tip (13) penetrating the mandrel is made in the manner described previously, so that the references used are the same.
Le tambour est agencé de manière similaire avec, près de l'un de ses flasques, une masselotte (12) assurant la fonction anti-retour du tambour.The drum is arranged similarly with, near one of its flanges, a flyweight (12) providing the anti-return function of the drum.
Dans cette mise en oeuvre, le mécanisme anti-boucle est le suivant.In this implementation, the anti-loop mechanism is as follows.
Un premier levier (26) est disposé à partir de la paroi de fond du carter en étant articulé sur un axe (27) pénétrant dans le flasque latéral du carter en regard et sur une patte (28) intérieure recevant à articulation le support porte-bobine à l'aide d'une portée (29) et d'un axe de liaison (30) Le bras porte-bobine est avantageusement profilé en U de sorte qu'il peut recevoir intérieurement un bloc (31) parallélépipédique susceptible de coulisser à l'intérieur dudit bras. La face de fond dudit bras présente une fente (32) orientée oblique et oblongue susceptible d'autoriser le déplacement et le coulissement d'un doigt (33) en saillie établi sur le. bloc (31) précité, selon des positions haute et basse. Ce bloc (31) est solidaire d'un second levier (34) profilé en L dont la branche supérieure (34a) est accouplée au bloc (31) et la branche inférieure (34b) est montée sur l'axe de pivotement du support porte-bobine. L'extrémité (34b) dudit second levier présente une échancrure oblongue (34c) dans laquelle coulisse ledit axe (30) permettant ainsi de faire varier la position du second levier (34) et donc du bloc (31) qui lui est associé. La patte (28) moulée dans le carter est établie entre la partie basse dudit second levier (34) et la zone (26a) de pivotement et d'ancrage dudit premier levier (26). La patte (28) présente ainsi une ouverture (28a) de passage de l'axe de liaison avec le premier levier (26) et une seconde ouverture (28b) de passage de l'axe de liaison avec le second levier (34) et la base d'articulation du bras porte-bobine. Un ressort de rappel (36) est disposé entre le premier levier (26) avec un point de fixation et le second levier (34) à l'endroit de sa partie coudée (34d). A first lever (26) is disposed from the bottom wall of the housing while being articulated on an axis (27) penetrating into the lateral flange of the housing opposite and on an inner lug (28) receiving the reel holder with articulation using a span (29) and a connecting pin (30) The reel arm is advantageously U-shaped so that it can receive internally a block (31) parallelepiped capable of sliding inside said arm. The face of bottom of said arm has a slot (32) oriented oblique and oblong susceptible to allow the movement and sliding of a projecting finger (33) established on the. block (31) above, according to high and low positions. This block (31) is integral with a second L-shaped lever (34) whose upper branch (34a) is coupled to the block (31) and the lower branch (34b) is mounted on the pivot axis of the bobbin holder. The end (34b) of said second lever has a oblong notch (34c) in which said axis (30) slides, thus allowing vary the position of the second lever (34) and therefore of the block (31) which is associated. The lug (28) molded in the housing is established between the lower part of said second lever (34) and the zone (26a) for pivoting and anchoring said first lever (26). The lug (28) thus has an opening (28a) for passage of the connecting pin with the first lever (26) and a second opening (28b) for the passage of the connection with the second lever (34) and the articulation base of the reel arm. A return spring (36) is arranged between the first lever (26) with a point of fixing and the second lever (34) at its bent portion (34d).
Le positionnement est donc le suivant.The positioning is therefore the following.
En phase de non sollicitation, c'est-à-dire que le tambour de l'appareil tourne normalement et la masselotte reprend sa position normale, il n'y a aucune intervention sur le premier levier. Le porte-bobine peut tourner normalement.In non-solicitation phase, that is to say that the drum of the apparatus turns Normally and the flyweight returns to its normal position, there is no intervention on the first lever. The spool holder can rotate normally.
Dans le cas d'une sollicitation brusque par une traction trop forte par l'utilisateur, la masselotte (12) associée au tambour peut ne pas reprendre sa place initiale. Elle vient alors en butée contre l'extrémité libre (26c) du premier levier (26) en provoquant son pivotement et son basculement. Ce pivotement va mettre en contact l'extrémité libre du premier levier avec la face inférieure du second levier (34) en lui engendrant un mouvement de déplacement vers le haut le long du bras porte-bobine. Ce mouvement va entraíner le déplacement du doigt (33) associé audit bloc (31) et permettre son positionnement à l'intérieur entre deux dents (15a) consécutives de la plaque circulaire (15) crantée de l'embout. Il y aura également un blocage en position de l'embout empêchant la rotation de la bobine. La libération du levier (26) par la masselotte s'effectue automatiquement dans les mêmes conditions qu'indiqué précédemment.In the case of an abrupt solicitation by excessive traction by the user, the weight (12) associated with the drum may not return to its original position. She then comes into abutment against the free end (26c) of the first lever (26) in causing it to pivot and tilt. This pivoting will put in contact the free end of the first lever with the underside of the second lever (34) causing it to move upwardly along the arm spool. This movement will cause the movement of the associated finger (33) block (31) and allowing its positioning inside between two teeth (15a) consecutive circular plate (15) toothed tip. There will also be blockage in position of the tip preventing the rotation of the coil. The The lever (26) is released by the flyweight automatically in the same conditions as previously indicated.
Il y a lieu maintenant de se référer à la figure 2 des dessins dans lesquels le second flasque porte-bobine est agencé à son tour avec un moyen complémentaire permettant le retour de la bobine.It is now necessary to refer to Figure 2 of the drawings in which the second flange coil holder is arranged in turn with a complementary means allowing the return of the coil.
Dans cette mise en oeuvre complémentaire qui a pour but de permettre le retour en arrière de la bobine pour réenrouler la bobine en cas d'apparition d'une boucle, le mécanisme comprend les agencements suivants.In this complementary implementation, which aims to enable the return to back of the reel to rewind the reel in case of occurrence of a loop, the mechanism includes the following arrangements.
Le flasque, dans la version fixe, est agencé avec un moyeu central (37), fixé par vis ou autrement. Ce moyeu (37) est épaulé et reçoit en extrémité un embout (38) profilé en forme de chapeau avec une portée extérieure (38a) réceptrice du mandrin de la bobine et une forme en couvercle (38b) entourant le moyeu précité. The flange, in the fixed version, is arranged with a central hub (37), fixed by screw or otherwise. This hub (37) is shouldered and receives at the end a tip (38) hat-shaped profile with an outer reach (38a) receiving the mandrel of the spool and a lid shape (38b) surrounding the aforementioned hub.
Un ressort à spirale (39) est disposé dans le logement ainsi réalisé avec une extrémité (39a) fixée sur le flasque et l'autre extrémité (39b) fixée sur le couvercle. La rotation de la bobine sous l'effet de traction du papier par l'utilisateur va amener le moyen porte-bobine à tourner dans un sens en provoquant le bandage du ressort et en emmagasinant de l'énergie. Cette tension est maintenue pendant le temps de maintien de l'extrémité libre de la bande de papier. La suppression de ce maintien provoque par détente élastique, le retour en arrière de la bande de matériau en supprimant son effet boucle qui aurait pu être réalisé. Une butée (40) assure la limitation de course et de rotation de l'embout (38).A spiral spring (39) is disposed in the housing thus formed with a end (39a) fixed to the flange and the other end (39b) fixed on the lid. The rotation of the reel under the pulling effect of the paper by the user will cause the reel means to rotate in a direction in causing the bandage of the spring and storing energy. This tension is maintained during the holding time of the free end of the tape paper. The suppression of this maintenance provokes by elastic relaxation, the return in back of the material strip by removing its loop effect that could have been realized. A stop (40) ensures the limitation of stroke and rotation of the endpiece (38).
Un appareil distributeur de bande de matériau d'essuyage peut donc être agencé avec les différents mécanismes pour éviter les effets de boucles précités.A wipe material strip dispensing apparatus can thus be arranged with the different mechanisms to avoid the effects of loops mentioned above.
