Abstract

Anti-curl control device for an automatic dispenser of wipe materials, of the type incorporating a housing with lid, fixed end plates supporting a drum incorporating a cutting device, a material reel wound on a core having end fittings and a press roller counter-bearing upon the drum. The anti-curl device comprises a roller having a peripheral surface with protruding griping feature. The roller is freely rotatable relative to supporting plates extending from a reel-holder end plate which is flexible relative to a fixed end plate. The roller is angled obliquely relative to the material reel and comes into localized contact along its generatrix with the last turn of the reel to ensure a braking effect. The roller is linked to rotation of the drum and the reel-holder end plate is elasticly deflected to adjust in position as the reel is unwound.

Description

L'invention se rattache au secteur technique des appareils distributeurs de matériaux d'essuyage, du type papier, ouate, papier recyclé, et ce, à coupe automatique.The invention relates to the technical sector of dispensing devices for wiping materials, paper type, wadding, recycled paper, and this, automatic cutting.

Le demandeur est spécialisé depuis plus d'une trentaine d'années dans la conception de ce type d'appareil distributeur qui fait l'objet d'une exploitation au plan international. Ces appareils (A) sont du type à partir d'un carter avec couvercle de recevoir latéralement des flasques (1) à partir desquels sont disposés un tambour (2) incluant un dispositif de coupe (6), une bobine de matériaux (3) enroulée sur un mandrin support et présentant en extrémité des embouts qui viennent se positionner sur la partie flasque porte-bobine. Un rouleau presseur (4) vient en contre-appui sur le tambour entre lequel passe la bande de matériaux tirée qui suit le cheminement représenté schématiquement figure 1. La traction de la bande de matériaux s'effectue par l'utilisateur en sortie de l'appareil et selon la force de traction qui est extrêmement variable, il peut se produire un phénomène d'apparition de boucles de matériaux formées entre le rouleau presseur et la bobine.The applicant has specialized for more than thirty years in the design of this type of dispensing machine which is the object of an international exploitation. These devices (A) are of the type from a housing with a cover to receive laterally flanges (1) from which are disposed a drum (2) including a cutting device (6), a coil of materials (3) wound on a support mandrel and having at the end of the end pieces which are positioned on the flange portion coil holder. A pressure roller (4) abuts against the drum between which the strip of material drawn follows the path shown schematically. figure 1 . The traction of the web of materials is effected by the user at the exit of the apparatus and according to the tensile force which is extremely variable, a phenomenon of occurrence of loops of material formed between the press roll and the coil.

Pour remédier à cet inconvénient, le demandeur a développé différents moyens et dispositifs ayant une fonction anti-boucles, ces dispositifs agissant essentiellement sur la bobine de matériaux pour l'amener à tourner à contresens de son sens habituel de déroulement, afin d'effectuer une opération de rembobinage. Ainsi, de tels dispositifs sont décrits dans les brevets français suivant du demandeur FR 0002722 , FR 9719536 , FR 0312506 , FR 0312505 .To remedy this drawback, the applicant has developed various means and devices having an anti-loops function, these devices acting essentially on the reel of materials to cause it to rotate contrary to its usual direction of unwinding, in order to perform a rewind operation. Thus, such devices are described in the following French patents of the applicant FR 0002722 , FR 9719536 , FR 0312506 , FR 0312505 .

Ces dispositifs sont très fiables et répondent parfaitement aux besoins, et ce, pour la grande majorité des bobines de matériaux, du type papier, que l'on trouve notamment sur le marché européen.These devices are very reliable and perfectly meet the needs, and this, for the vast majority of reels of materials, paper type, found in particular on the European market.

Le brevet francais FR-A-2 805 449 , aussi du demandeur, décrit un dispositif de contrôle anti-boucles comprenant toutes les caractéristiques du préambule de la revendication 1.French patent FR-A-2 805 449 , also of the Applicant, discloses an anti-loop control device comprising all the features of the preamble of claim 1.

Le problème posé réside cependant avec certains types de bobines de matériaux en papier recyclé qui sont extrêmement lisses, de sorte qu'il y a un glissement des spires de matériaux entre elles et les dispositifs anti-boucles antérieurement développés par le demandeur s'avèrent être insuffisants pour empêcher la formation de boucles après une traction forte.The problem is, however, with certain types of reels of recycled paper materials which are extremely smooth, so that there is a slip of the turns of materials between them and anti-loops devices previously developed by the applicant are found to be insufficient to prevent the formation of loops after strong traction.

Cette situation est extrêmement gênante, car l'utilisation de papier recyclé lisse enroulés en bobine est de plus en plus développée, et on ne peut malheureusement que constater l'absence de résultats des dispositifs antérieurs, avec une augmentation de la maintenance, de nombreux appareils se mettant « en hors service » si les boucles de bandes de matériaux ne sont pas automatiquement éliminées.This situation is extremely troublesome, because the use of smooth recycled paper coiled coil is increasingly developed, and we can unfortunately note that the lack of results of the previous devices, with an increase in maintenance, many devices "off" if material loops are not automatically removed.

La démarche du demandeur a donc été de réfléchir à une nouvelle conception du dispositif anti-boucles sur l'appareil distributeur du type précité, qui réponde au problème posé par rapport aux bobines de matériaux du type papier recyclé lisse, mais aussi qui, par la même occasion, reste applicable aux autres bobines de matériaux du type pour lesquels les dispositifs anti-boucles conçus et développés par le demandeur restent valables.The applicant's approach was therefore to think about a new design of the anti-loops device on the dispensing machine of the aforementioned type, which answers the problem posed with respect to the reels of smooth recycled paper type materials, but also which, by the same occasion, remains applicable to other coils of materials of the type for which the anti-loops devices designed and developed by the applicant remain valid.

Toute la difficulté était donc de concevoir un nouveau dispositif anti-boucles, sans mettre en oeuvre une complexité de moyens et composants qui surenchérissent le coût de l'appareil distributeur, tout en étant efficace.The difficulty was therefore to design a new anti-loops device, without implementing a complexity of means and components that outweigh the cost of the dispensing device, while being effective.

Pour répondre au problème posé, la première direction de recherche était d'améliorer les dispositifs anti-boucles existants pour les rendre plus performants à l'encontre de ce type de papier recyclé lisse. En pratique, les modifications et améliorations envisagées se sont avérées insuffisantes et en tous cas pas suffisamment fiables pour distribuer en grande série et en continu des bandes de matériaux avec le papier recyclé lisse précité. Les performances dans le temps sont insuffisantes, et il ne peut donc être question de mettre sur le marché des solutions qui soient dans le temps peut fiables qui posent ensuite des problèmes de maintenance aux entreprises gérant ce type d'appareils distributeurs et l'approvisionnement en bobines.To answer the problem, the first direction of research was to improve existing anti-loops devices to make them more efficient against this type of smooth recycled paper. In practice, the modifications and improvements envisaged proved to be insufficient and in any case not sufficiently reliable for mass and continuous distribution of strips of materials with the aforementioned smooth recycled paper. The performance over time is insufficient, so there can be no question of marketing solutions that are reliable over time, which then pose maintenance problems for companies managing this type of dispensing equipment and the supply of products. coils.

La démarche du demandeur a donc été de reconsidérer intégralement le concept du dispositif anti-boucles, et à partir d'une analyse de la valeur, apporter certaines modifications à la conception même de l'appareil distributeur, en particulier à partir de son bras de chargement.The applicant's approach was therefore to completely reconsider the concept of the anti-loops device, and from an analysis of the value, make certain modifications to the very design of the dispensing apparatus, in particular from its dispensing arm. loading.

Cette démarche nouvelle a ainsi permis de trouver une solution très simple et efficace qui réponde au problème posé, et au surplus et de manière inattendue, simplifie le chargement de la bobine de matériaux dans l'appareil.This new approach has made it possible to find a very simple and effective solution that responds to the problem posed, and moreover and unexpectedly, simplifies the loading of the reel of materials in the apparatus.

Ainsi, selon une première caractéristique de l'invention, le dispositif anti-boucles susceptible d'agir sur la bobine de matériau d'un appareil distributeur à coupe automatique de bandes de matériau du type incluant à partir d'un carter avec couvercle des flasques fixes à partir desquels sont disposés un tambour incluant un dispositif de coupe, avec bobine de matériau enroulé sur un mandrin présentant en extrémité des embouts, un rouleau presseur en contre appui sur le tambour est caractérisé en ce que ledit dispositif anti-boucles est constitué par un moyen formant rouleau présentant une surface périphérique avec des moyens en saillie aggripants, ledit moyen étant libre en rotation par rapport à des plans supports formés à partir d'un flasque porte-bobine flexible par rapport au flasque récepteur du tambour, ledit moyen étant orienté en oblique par rapport à la bobine de matériau et venant en contact ponctuel le long de sa génératrice avec la dernière spire de la bobine pour assurer un effet de freinage, et en ce que ledit moyen sous forme de rouleau est lié à la rotation du tambour par un moyen de transmission les accouplant, et en ce que le flasque porte-bobine récepteur de l'embout et dudit moyen a une capacité élastique de débattement pour s'adapter en position lors du dévidage de la bobine.Thus, according to a first characteristic of the invention, the anti-loops device capable of acting on the reel of material of a dispensing apparatus with automatic cutting of strips of material of the type including from a housing with lid flanges fixed devices from which are disposed a drum including a cutting device, with a coil of material wound on a mandrel having ends of end pieces, a pressure roller against the drum is characterized in that said anti-loops device is constituted by roller means having a peripheral surface with projecting protruding means, said means being free in rotation with respect to support planes formed from a flexible spool flange with respect to the receiving flange of the drum, said means being oriented obliquely with respect to the spool of material and coming into point contact with the spool; along its generator with the last turn of the coil to provide a braking effect, and in that said means in the form of a roller is connected to the rotation of the drum by a transmission means coupling them, and in that the flange door -bobine receptor of the tip and said means has an elastic capacity of movement to adapt in position during the unwinding of the coil.

Le dispositif anti-boucle selon l'invention est constitué par un moyen (M) formant rouleau présentant une surface périphérique avec des moyens en saillie aggripants, ledit moyen est monté libre en rotation par rapport à des plans supports (11-12) formés à partir du flasque (13) porte-bobine, et étant orientés de telle sorte que ledit moyen (M) soit en position oblique par rapport à la bobine de matériau (3) et vienne en contact ponctuel le long de sa génératrice avec la dernière spire de la bobine pour assurer un effet de freinage, ledit moyen (M) sous forme de rouleaux étant lié à la rotation du tambour par un moyen de transmission (T) les accouplant, le flasque porte-bobine (13) récepteur de l'embout et dudit moyen (M) ayant une capacité élastique de débattement pour s'adapter en position lors du dévidage de la bobine. Il y a lieu de préciser que l'axe longitudinal du moyen (M) est positionné perpendiculaire à l'axe de la bobine et exactement dans l'alignement du support de bobine.The reel of material (3) is wound on a tubular mandrel (7) receiving at each of its ends a tip (8) capable of being mounted on the spool flange. The tip has a cylindrical bearing (8a) penetrating into the mandrel and a flange (8b) capable of bearing against the transverse face of the coil. The end piece (8) is thus freely mounted rotation on a support shaft (9) fixedly secured thereto of the spool flange.
The anti-buckle device according to the invention is constituted by a means (M) forming a roll having a peripheral surface with projecting gripping means, said means is rotatably mounted relative to support planes (11-12) formed to from the flange (13), and being oriented so that said means (M) is in an oblique position with respect to the coil of material (3) and comes in point contact along its generator with the last turn of the coil to provide a braking effect, said means (M) in the form of rollers being connected to the rotation of the drum by a transmission means (T) coupling them, the spool flange (13) receiving the endpiece and said means (M) having an elastic displacement capacity to adapt in position during unwinding of the reel. It should be noted that the longitudinal axis of the means (M) is positioned perpendicular to the axis of the coil and exactly in alignment with the coil support.

Plus particulièrement, en se référant à la figure 2, l'un des flasques (1) du carter de l'appareil à partir duquel est positionné le tambour (2) porte lame du dispositif de coupe et du rouleau presseur reçoit le flasque (13) porte-bobine à fixation en autorisant ce dernier à une certaine flexibilité selon la flèche (F) ainsi qu'il sera exposé par la suite. La liaison du flasque (13) porte-bobine par sa partie avant (13a) avec le flasque (1) est établi à l'aide de moyens de vissage (14) par exemple ou collage, ou autres. Ledit flasque (13) porte-bobine se prolonge vers l'arrière du carter de l'appareil avec une partie haute (13b) pour recevoir l'axe (9) support de l'embout précité (8). Ledit flasque présente dans sa partie arrière deux plans supports (11-12) parallèles entre lesquels est positionné le moyen (M) sous forme de rouleau du dispositif anti-boucle. Les deux plans supports (11-12) sont obtenus directement par moulage avec le flasque (13). Le plan support inférieur (11) présente une encoche (11a) de fixation d'une extrémité (15a) d'un ressort de rappel (15), et dont l'autre extrémité (15b) est ancrée sur la partie en regard du carter de l'appareil. On comprend ainsi que le degré de flexibilité du flasque support (13) est limité et contrôlé par ledit moyen de rappel.
Le moyen (M) sous forme de rouleau est orienté obliquement comme il apparaît aux figures 5 et 6 de manière à présenter sa génératrice longitudinalement en contact partiel avec la bobine de matériau et plus particulièrement à l'endroit de sa spire extérieure. En position de la figure 5, la bobine de matériau est placée, et le contact ponctuel (A) s'effectue près de l'extrémité basse du moyen (M) sous forme de rouleau, l'écartement du flasque (13) est maximum dans cette position et ce par l'effet d'extension du moyen élastique de rappel (15). Dans cette situation, l'embout (8) est partiellement sorti du mandrin support de la bobine, une partie de sa partie cylindrique (8a) demeurant en position.More particularly, referring to the figure 2 , one of the flanges (1) of the housing of the apparatus from which is positioned the drum (2) blade holder of the cutting device and the pressure roller receives the flange (13) coil holder fixing by allowing the latter to a certain flexibility according to the arrow (F) as it will be exposed later. The connection of the flange (13) coil holder by its front portion (13a) with the flange (1) is established by means of screwing means (14) for example or gluing, or other. Said flange (13) reel holder extends towards the rear of the housing of the apparatus with a top portion (13b) for receiving the axis (9) support of the aforementioned endpiece (8). Said flange has in its rear part two parallel support planes (11-12) between which is positioned the means (M) in roll form of the anti-loop device. The two supporting planes (11-12) are obtained directly by molding with the flange (13). The lower support plane (11) has a notch (11a) for fixing one end (15a) of a return spring (15), and the other end (15b) is anchored to the part opposite the housing. of the device. It is thus understood that the degree of flexibility of the support flange (13) is limited and controlled by said return means.
The means (M) in roll form is oriented obliquely as it appears at Figures 5 and 6 so as to present its generatrix longitudinally in partial contact with the coil of material and more particularly at the place of its outer turn. In position of the figure 5 the material spool is placed, and the point contact (A) is made near the lower end of the means (M) in the form of a roll, the spacing of the flange (13) is maximum in this position and by the effect of extension of the elastic return means (15). In this situation, the tip (8) is partially out of the support mandrel of the coil, a portion of its cylindrical portion (8a) remaining in position.

Dans la situation de la figure 6 et dans la partie de représentation à gauche, la bobine de matériau est largement dévidée et le point de contact (A) avec le moyen (M) s'est déplacé le long de la génératrice longitudinale de celui-ci. Le flasque (13) s'est ainsi rapproché sous l'effet de détente et de rappel du moyen élastique, et l'embout se retrouve positionné et introduit dans le mandrin en étant enfoncé d'une manière correspondante.
Il y a lieu de décrire maintenant la mise en oeuvre du moyen (T) de transmission entre le tambour (2) et le moyen (M) sous forme de rouleau oblique.
Une première mise en oeuvre qui est illustrée aux figures 2 et 3 du moyen de transmission consiste dans l'utilisation d'une courroie d'entraînement sans fin. (16).In the situation of figure 6 and in the representation portion on the left, the material reel is largely unwound and the point of contact (A) with the means (M) has moved along the longitudinal generatrix thereof. The flange (13) is thus brought closer under the effect of relaxation and return of the elastic means, and the tip is found positioned and introduced into the mandrel being depressed in a corresponding manner.
It is appropriate to describe now the implementation of the transmission means (T) between the drum (2) and the means (M) in the form of oblique roll.
A first implementation that is illustrated in the figures 2 and 3 of the transmission means is the use of an endless drive belt. (16).

Pour ce faire, le tambour (2) présente une extrémité avec prolongement formant gorge (2a) concentrique à l'axe du tambour et servant de logement et de guidage à ladite courroie (16).
Le moyen (M) sous forme de rouleau présente une extrémité basse, un composant (17) incluant une partie en forme de poulie susceptible de recevoir ladite courroie de transmission (16) et ce dans un plan différent de sa position sur le tambour. Le moyen (M) présente à ses extrémités des doigts de positionnement pénétrant dans les plans supports (11-12). On comprend parfaitement que l'effet de traction d'une bande de matériau par l'utilisateur qui entraîne la rotation du tambour et la sortie de la lame de coupe entraîne simultanément la rotation du moyen (M) qui accompagne ainsi le dévidage de la bobine avec toujours le point de contact (A) ponctuel qui se déplace le long du moyen (M).To do this, the drum (2) has an end with groove extension (2a) concentric with the axis of the drum and serving as housing and guiding said belt (16).
The roller means (M) has a low end, a component (17) including a pulley-shaped portion adapted to receive said transmission belt (16) and in a plane different from its position on the drum. The means (M) has at its ends positioning fingers penetrating the support planes (11-12). It is perfectly understood that the traction effect of a web of material by the user which causes the rotation of the drum and the output of the cutting blade simultaneously causes the rotation of the means (M) which thus accompanies the unwinding of the reel always with the point of contact (A) punctually moving along the means (M).

On a représenté figure 7 une seconde variante de transmission (T) entre le tambour (2) et le moyen (M). Il s'agit d'une mise en oeuvre mécanique à partir de composants sous forme de pignons. On a ainsi représenté d'une manière schématique les différents composants qui permettent la rotation du moyen (M) à partir de la rotation du tambour (2) pour créer l'effet recherché sur la bobine.
Dans cette mise en oeuvre le tambour (2) reçoit en lieu et place de la gorge (2a) précitée réceptionnant la courroie (16), une roue dentée (18) à denture droite montée axialement sur l'axe du tambour.
Sur le flasque latéral (1) est rapporté et fixé dans un plan perpendiculaire à ladite roue dentée un moyen de transmission (19) à deux pignons (19a - 19b) coaxiaux, l'un à denture droite (19a) engrenant avec la roue dentée (18) et l'autre à denture conique (19b). Ce dernier est alors susceptible de coopérer à son tour avec un arbre de liaison et de raccordement (20) monté par rapport au flasque flexible (13) à l'aide de tous supports appropriés, et présentant à chacune de ses extrémités deux pignons à denture conique (20a-20b), l'un (20a) coopérant avec le pignon conique (19b) et l'autre (20b) coopérant avec un pignon conique (21) disposé en bout du moyen (M) formant rouleau. L'ensemble de ces moyens d'engrènement autorise le transfert mécanique du mouvement de rotation du tambour jusqu'au rouleau oblique assurant la fonction anti-boucles sur la bobine.
Il y a lieu de considérer que le degré de flexibilité du flasque (13) qui reste limité n'est pas gênant à l'engrènement des différents pignons coniques qui restent en prise. Tous ces moyens d'engrènement peuvent être en matériaux métalliques ou en matière plastique.
Il y a lieu d'observer que le flasque flexible (13) qui constitue le bras de chargement de la bobine est d'une grande simplicité de construction et remplace avantageusement les systèmes utilisés selon l'art antérieur.
L'invention inclut à partir du moyen (M) en forme de rouleau, un autre aménagement assurant la fonction de rappel de la bobine. A cet effet, le moyen (M) est agencé intérieurement pour recevoir un ressort de rappel (22) dont une extrémité (22a) en forme de boucle s'ajuste dans un rainurage (23a) formé sur le flasque (23) d'obturation, et à l'autre extrémité (22b) en forme de boucle pour s'ajuster sur le composant (17) formant poulie ou incluant un pignon destiné à mettre en tension ledit ressort. Ce composant (17) comprend une portée cylindrique (17a) fendue en extrémité dans laquelle s'engage l'extrémité du ressort et une double collerette (17b) formant poulie dans le cas d'un moyen de transmission sous forme de courroie, ou par un pignon conique (21) dans le cas d'une transmission mécanique. Ledit composant s'ajuste en fermeture du rouleau, puis un doigt (17c) de fixation sur la plaque support fixe (11). Une butée (17d) est formée sur la face interne de la collerette. Cette butée est susceptible de coopérer avec une autre butée (25) formée sur la partie épaulée (26) établie à l'extrémité du rouleau (R). On comprend ainsi que la rotation sur lui-même dudit composant (17) met en torsion le ressort de rappel, et le contact des deux butées (25 et 17d), avec le positionnement dudit composant (17) dans la partie épaulée (26) formant siège du moyen (M) assure le verrouillage en position de l'ensemble. En fonctionnement, ledit moyen (M) peut ainsi par détente du ressort provoquer la rotation en sens contraire de la bobine et assure ainsi le ré-embobinage de la bobine et éviter toute apparition de boucles.We have shown figure 7 a second transmission variant (T) between the drum (2) and the means (M). This is a mechanical implementation from components in the form of pinions. The various components that allow the rotation of the means (M) from the rotation of the drum (2) to create the desired effect on the bobbin are thus schematically represented.
In this implementation the drum (2) receives instead of the groove (2a) above receiving the belt (16), a toothed wheel (18) with straight teeth axially mounted on the axis of the drum.
On the side flange (1) is attached and fixed in a plane perpendicular to said gear wheel transmission means (19) with two pinions (19a - 19b) coaxial, one with right teeth (19a) meshing with the gear wheel (18) and the other conically toothed (19b). The latter is then likely to cooperate in turn with a linkage tree and connection (20) mounted with respect to the flexible flange (13) by means of any suitable supports, and having at each of its ends two bevel gears (20a-20b), one (20a) cooperating with the pinion conical (19b) and the other (20b) cooperating with a bevel gear (21) disposed at the end of the means (M) forming a roller. All of these meshing means allow the mechanical transfer of the drum rotation movement to the oblique roller providing the anti-loops function on the reel.
It should be considered that the degree of flexibility of the flange (13) which remains limited is not troublesome to the meshing of the different conical gears which remain in engagement. All these meshing means may be of metal materials or plastic material.
It should be noted that the flexible flange (13) which constitutes the loading arm of the coil is of great simplicity of construction and advantageously replaces the systems used according to the prior art.
The invention includes from the means (M) in the form of a roller, another arrangement providing the return function of the coil. For this purpose, the means (M) is arranged internally to receive a return spring (22) whose one end (22a) in the form of a loop fits into a groove (23a) formed on the flange (23) shutter , and at the other end (22b) in the form of a loop to fit on the component (17) forming a pulley or including a pinion for tensioning said spring. This component (17) comprises a cylindrical bearing surface (17a) slotted at the end in which the end of the spring engages and a double flange (17b) forming a pulley in the case of a transmission means in the form of a belt, or by a bevel gear (21) in the case of a mechanical transmission. Said component adjusts to close the roll, then a finger (17c) of attachment to the fixed support plate (11). A stop (17d) is formed on the inner face of the collar. This stop is likely to cooperate with another stop (25) formed on the shouldered portion (26) established at the end of the roller (R). We thus comprises that the rotation on itself of said component (17) torsion the return spring, and the contact of the two stops (25 and 17d), with the positioning of said component (17) in the shoulder portion (26) forming middle seat (M) ensures locking in position of the assembly. In operation, said means (M) can thus by expansion of the spring cause rotation in the opposite direction of the coil and thus ensures the rewinding of the coil and avoid any appearance of loops.

En se référant aux figures 8 et 9 en variante, le moyen (M) en forme de rouleau présente un aménagement particulier de telle sorte que le ressort de rappel (22) ne puisse être en contact avec l'intérieur dudit rouleau et créer un effet de freinage nuisible au bon fonctionnement de l'ensemble et réduisant l'effet anti-boucles recherché.Referring to Figures 8 and 9 alternatively, the roller means (M) has a particular arrangement so that the return spring (22) can not be in contact with the interior of said roller and create a braking effect detrimental to the proper functioning of the roller. together and reducing the desired anti-loops effect.

A cet effet, le corps (30) du rouleau (R) reçoit, à une extrémité, un composant (17) du type précité présentant une portée cylindrique fendue (17a) se trouvant à l'intérieur du corps du rouleau après mise en place, et un appendice (17c). De l'autre côté, le corps (30) du rouleau présente, en prolongement, une bague (31) épaulée de plus grande section. Cette bague est obtenue monobloc avec ledit corps et sert de siège à un manchon (32) cylindrique agencé de manière spécifique pour, d'une part, recevoir, à une extrémité, le ressort de rappel (22) et, d'autre part, à son autre extrémité, recevoir un premier moyen d'engrenage (33). Plus spécifiquement, le manchon (32) présente une portée cylindrique principale (32a) se prolongeant à une extrémité par une seconde portée (32b) de plus petite section et fendue pour recevoir l'extrémité en crochet (22a) du ressort de rappel. L'orientation de fixation du ressort, à travers la fente (32c), s'effectue dans un plan perpendiculaire à celui formé sur le composant (17). Le ressort (22) est donc emmanché sur la seconde portée (32b) fixée en position par la fente (32c) de sorte qu'il ne peut bouger et reste constamment dans le plan axial longitudinal du rouleau, en évitant tout contact avec l'orifice intérieur de celui-ci. A l'autre extrémité, le manchon (32) présente une collerette (32d) venant en appui et centrage dans la partie bague. Ladite collerette présente un ergot (32e) qui vient en contact et butée contre un doigt (32f) établi du type de ceux décrits (17d - 25) aux figures 4A-4B. Le manchon reçoit en bout un engrenage (33) à denture conique correspondant à celui (21) illustré figure 7. Le montage particulier dudit ressort est donc optimisé en évitant toute gêne de celui-ci.For this purpose, the body (30) of the roller (R) receives, at one end, a component (17) of the aforementioned type having a split cylindrical bearing surface (17a) located inside the body of the roller after installation. , and an appendix (17c). On the other side, the body (30) of the roller has, in extension, a ring (31) shouldered larger section. This ring is obtained in one piece with said body and serves as a seat for a cylindrical sleeve (32) arranged in a specific manner to, on the one hand, receive, at one end, the return spring (22) and, secondly, at its other end, receiving a first gear means (33). More specifically, the sleeve (32) has a main cylindrical bearing (32a) extending at one end by a second span (32b) of smaller section and slotted to receive the hook end (22a) of the return spring. The fixing orientation of the spring, through the slot (32c), is in a plane perpendicular to that formed on the component (17). The spring (22) is thus fitted on the second bearing (32b) fixed in position by the slot (32c) so that it can not move and remains constantly in the longitudinal axial plane of the roll, avoiding any contact with the inner opening thereof. At the other end, the sleeve (32) has a flange (32d) bearing and centering in the ring portion. Said flange has a lug (32e) which comes into contact and abuts against an established finger (32f) of the type described (17d-25) to Figures 4A-4B . The sleeve receives at the end a bevel gear (33) corresponding to that (21) illustrated figure 7 . The particular assembly of said spring is optimized by avoiding any discomfort thereof.

En fonction de l'agencement de l'appareil distributeur et de ses spécificités, la roue dentée (18), qui est associée au tambour (2) de la réalisation illustrée figure 7, peut être montée différemment tout en suivant le mouvement en rotation du tambour pour transmettre le mouvement audit rouleau (R) anti-boucles.According to the arrangement of the dispensing apparatus and its specificities, the toothed wheel (18), which is associated with the drum (2) of the illustrated embodiment figure 7 , can be mounted differently while following the rotational movement of the drum to transmit movement to said anti-loops roll (R).

On a ainsi représenté, figure 10, une variante de réalisation selon laquelle l'engrenage (18) est remplacé par un engrenage (34) de plus grande longueur (1) en étant directement associé au moyen de manoeuvre (35) monté à partir de la paroi latérale du carter. Cet engrenage (34) présente néanmoins un axe central (34a) qui est en connexion avec le tambour (2). Par cette disposition particulière, l'engrenage (34) offre une longueur de prise plus grande à l'engrenage (36) qui est monté en regard et qui appartient à un train d'engrenages (37 - 38 - 39 - 40) en provenance du rouleau (R) pour assurer la transmission du mouvement dans des conditions similaires à celles de la figure 7. La différence essentielle réside en ce que la longueur de prise de cet engrenage (34) permet un léger débattement latéral du flasque (13) support de la bobine de matériau et du rouleau (R), tel que représenté figure 6. En d'autres termes, si l'on vient faciliter la mise en place de la bobine de matériau par l'écartement de l'un des deux flasques support de la bobine, la longueur de prise de l'engrenage (34) permet d'absorber tout écartement latéral du flasque considéré tout en conservant ladite prise des engrenages identifiés.It has thus been shown, figure 10 , an alternative embodiment in which the gear (18) is replaced by a gear (34) of greater length (1) being directly associated with the operating means (35) mounted from the side wall of the housing. This gear (34) nevertheless has a central axis (34a) which is in connection with the drum (2). By this particular arrangement, the gear (34) provides a larger engagement length to the gear (36) which is mounted opposite and which belongs to a gear train (37 - 38 - 39 - 40) from of the roller (R) to ensure the transmission of the movement under conditions similar to those of the figure 7 . The essential difference lies in that the engagement length of this gear (34) allows a slight lateral movement of the flange (13) supporting the material spool and the roller (R), as represented figure 6 . In other words, if one comes to facilitate the introduction of the coil of material by the spacing of one of the two flanges support of the coil, the engagement length of the gear (34) can absorb any lateral spacing of the flange considered while retaining said catch of identified gears.

Enfin, selon une autre disposition de l'invention, il est possible comme représenté figure 6 d'inclure de l'autre côté de la bobine et à partir du flasque fixe (1) un autre rouleau (M) mais qui est lui monté libre en rotation sans autre moyen de liaison et de transmission, en position oblique également pour constituer un contre appui de la bobine de matériau.Finally, according to another embodiment of the invention, it is possible as shown figure 6 to include on the other side of the coil and from the fixed flange (1) another roller (M) but which is rotatably mounted without any other means of connection and transmission, in an oblique position also to constitute a against support of the reel of material.

Les avantages ressortent bien de l'invention. La nouvelle conception du dispositif anti-boucle est particulièrement efficace pour répondre au problème posé des bobines de matériaux de papier recyclé lisse.The advantages are apparent from the invention. The new design of the anti-loop device is particularly effective in addressing the problem posed by coils of smooth recycled paper materials.
