Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft einen Falthandtuchspender, der ein Gehäuse, das einen Aufnahmeraum mit einem Auflagebereich für einen Stapel von Falthandtüchern bildet, und eine Entnahmeöffnung, die im Boden des Gehäuses ausgebildet ist und durch die im Gebrauch Falthandtücher entnommen werden können, umfasst.The present invention relates to a folded towel dispenser comprising a housing forming a receiving space with a support area for a stack of folding towels and a removal opening formed in the bottom of the housing and through which folding towels can be removed in use.

Falthandtücher aus Papier sind in unterschiedlichen Längen beziehungsweise Breiten sowie in unterschiedlichen Faltungen bekannt. Um derartige Falthandtücher am Ort des Gebrauchs zu lagern, werden häufig Falthandtuchspender mit einem Gehäuse verwendet, in dem ein Vorrat von Falthandtüchern in Stapelform untergebracht wird. Im Gehäuseboden ist eine Entnahmeöffnung vorgesehen, durch die die Falthandtücher bei Bedarf einzeln entnommen werden können. Konstruktiv entsprechend ausgeführte Falthandtuchspender sind aus dem Stand der Technik in verschiedenen Varianten bereits bekannt.Paper folding towels are known in different lengths or widths as well as in different folds. To store such folded towels at the point of use, there are frequently used folded towel dispensers having a housing in which a supply of folding towels is stored in stack form. In the case back a removal opening is provided, through which the folded towels can be removed individually if necessary. Constructively designed according Falchandtuchspender are already known from the prior art in different variants.

Ein Nachteil der bekannten Falthandtuchspender besteht darin, dass sie stets einen festgelegten, nicht variierbaren Aufnahmeraum für Falthandtücher mit bestimmter Länge beziehungsweise Breite und/oder Faltung aufweisen. Werden zum Beispiel für einen Falthandtuchspender hinsichtlich ihres Formats ungeeignete Falthandtücher eingesetzt, so kann es bei der Unterbringung im Aufnahmeraum und bei der Entnahme der Falthandtücher aus dem Falthandtuchspender zu Problemen kommen. Sind die Falthandtücher für den Aufnahmeraum des Falthandtuchspenders beispielsweise zu klein, kann das Problem auftreten, dass der Falthandtuchstapel verrutschen kann. Sind die Falthandtücher umgekehrt für den Aufnahmeraum zu groß, können diese nur mit sehr viel Mühe in dem Aufnahmeraum des Falthandtuchspenders untergebracht werden. In beiden Fällen kann sich die Entnahme einzelner Falthandtücher des Falthandtuchvorrats aus dem Falthandtuchspender somit als schwierig und unkomfortabel erweisen.A disadvantage of the known folding towel dispensers is that they always have a fixed, non-variable receiving space for folded towels with a certain length or width and / or folding. If, for example, unfolded folding towels are used for a folding towel dispenser with regard to their format, problems may occur when accommodating in the receiving space and when removing the folded towels from the folded towel dispenser. For example, if the folded towels for the receiving space of the paper towel dispenser are too small, the problem may arise that the folded paper towel stack may slip. Conversely, if the folded towels are too large for the receiving space, they can only be accommodated with great difficulty in the receiving space of the paper towel dispenser. In both cases, the removal of individual folded towels of the Folded towel supply from the paper towel dispenser thus prove difficult and uncomfortable.

Each of the holding projections 5a, 5b has in this embodiment, three spaced recesses 50, in which a lower boundary edge 40 of the adjusting element 4 can be releasably inserted and held. Through this Measure various adjustment positions for the substantially plate-shaped adjustment element 4 in the housing 2 of the paper towel dispenser 1 are provided so as to be able to adapt the effectively available storage space, especially the width of the support area, to different widths of the folded towels used. It is clear that the width of the receiving space for the folding towels by adjusting the adjusting element 4 is discontinuously adjustable. In order to facilitate the handling of the adjusting element 4, this has in an upper region on a handling portion 42 which is formed integrally with the adjusting element 4.

Damit der Aufnahmeraum nicht nur mit Hilfe des Verstellelements 4 hinsichtlich der Breite verstellt werden kann, sondern darüber hinaus auch an Falthandtücher, die unterschiedliche Längen aufweisen, angepasst werden kann, weist der Falthandtuchspender 1 ferner zwei Halteelemente 6a, 6b auf, die in diesem Ausführungsbeispiel als einander zugewandte Haltegabeln ausgebildet sind und den Auflagebereich für die Falthandtücher bilden. Im Gebrauch liegt der Falthandtuchstapel auf den beiden Halteelementen 6a, 6b auf.Thus, the receiving space can be adjusted not only with the aid of the adjusting element 4 in terms of width, but also on folding towels, which have different lengths, can be adjusted, the folding towel dispenser 1 also has two holding elements 6a, 6b, in this embodiment as facing holding forks are formed and form the support area for the folded towels. In use, the folded paper towel stack lies on the two holding elements 6a, 6b.

Man erkennt, dass die beiden Halteelemente 6a, 6b im Gehäuse 2 unterhalb der beiden Haltevorsprünge 5a, 5b für das Verstellelement 4 angeordnet sind. Die beiden Halteelemente 6a, 6b sind in Längsrichtung des Gehäuses 2 parallel zur Rückwand 21 verschiebbar ausgeführt, so dass der Auflagebereich des für die Aufnahme des Faltpapierstapels zur Verfügung stehenden Aufnahmeraums an unterschiedliche Längen der Falthandtücher angepasst werden kann.It can be seen that the two holding elements 6a, 6b are arranged in the housing 2 below the two holding projections 5a, 5b for the adjusting element 4. The two holding elements 6a, 6b are designed to be displaceable parallel to the rear wall 21 in the longitudinal direction of the housing 2, so that the support area of the receiving space available for receiving the folded-paper stack can be adapted to different lengths of the folded towels.

Um zu verhindern, dass sich die Halteelemente 6a, 6b beispielsweise durch die von den Falthandtüchern ausgeübte Gewichtskraft ungewollt in Längsrichtung verschieben können, sind in diesem Ausführungsbeispiel Rastmittel vorgesehen, die dazu geeignet sind, die Halteelemente 6a, 6b rastend im Gehäuse 2 des Falthandtuchspenders 1 festzulegen. In diesem Ausführungsbeispiel sind jedem der beiden Halteelemente 6a, 6b jeweils zwei Rastführungen 70a, 71a, 70b, 71b zugeordnet, die eine Anzahl von Rastausnehmungen 8 umfassen, in denen entsprechende Rastvorsprünge der Halteelemente 6a, 6b eingreifen können, um die Halteelemente 6a, 6b in den Rastführungen 70a, 71a, 70b, 71 b rastend festzulegen. Die Anzahl der zur Verfügung stehenden Rastpositionen hängt von der Anzahl der Rastausnehmungen 8 ab, die in den Rastführungen 70a, 71 a, 70b, 71 b ausgebildet sind.In order to prevent the holding elements 6a, 6b from being displaced unintentionally in the longitudinal direction, for example by the weight force exerted by the folding towels, latching means are provided in this exemplary embodiment which are suitable for arresting the holding elements 6a, 6b in the housing 2 of the folding towel dispenser 1 , In this embodiment, each of the two holding elements 6a, 6b associated with two locking guides 70a, 71a, 70b, 71b, which include a number of locking recesses 8, in which corresponding latching projections of the holding elements 6a, 6b can engage to the holding elements 6a, 6b in the detent guides 70a, 71a, 70b, 71 b set detent. The number of available locking positions depends on the number of locking recesses 8, which are formed in the locking guides 70a, 71a, 70b, 71b.

Ausgehend von der in Fig. 1 dargestellten Stellung der Halteelemente 6a, 6b können diese jeweils in die durch Pfeile angedeuteten Richtungen verschoben werden und in den entsprechenden Rastausnehmungen 8 verrasten. Durch diese Maßnahme kann in vorteilhafter Weise erreicht werden, dass Falthandtücher unterschiedlicher Länge im Aufnahmeraum des Gehäuses 2 untergebracht und auf dem durch die Halteelemente 6a, 6b gebildeten Auflagebereich positioniert werden können. An Stelle der in diesem Ausführungsbeispiel vorgesehenen Rastmittel, die eine Verrastung in diskontinuierlichen Rastpositionen ermöglichen, können in einer alternativen Ausführungsform auch Verriegelungsmittel vorgesehen sein, die so ausgebildet sind, dass sie eine kontinuierliche Verstellung und Verriegelung der Halteelemente 6a, 6b ermöglichen. Um die Handhabung der der Halteelemente 6a, 6b zu vereinfachen können in der Vorderwand 20 und/oder in der Rückwand 21 des Gehäuses 2 Durchbrechungen vorgesehen sein, in die ein Benutzer von außen hineingreifen kann, um die Halteelemente 6a, 6b bei Bedarf zu verstellen.Starting from the in Fig. 1 shown position of the holding elements 6a, 6b, these can be moved in each case in the directions indicated by arrows and lock in the corresponding recesses 8. By this measure can be achieved in an advantageous manner that folding towels different length accommodated in the receiving space of the housing 2 and can be positioned on the bearing area formed by the support members 6a, 6b. Instead of the latching means provided in this embodiment, which enable latching in discontinuous latching positions, locking means may also be provided in an alternative embodiment, which are designed such that they permit a continuous adjustment and locking of the holding elements 6a, 6b. In order to simplify the handling of the holding elements 6a, 6b may be provided in the front wall 20 and / or in the rear wall 21 of the housing 2 openings in which a user can reach in from the outside to adjust the holding elements 6a, 6b as needed.

Unter Bezugnahme auf Fig. 2 bis 5 wird nachfolgend ein zweites Ausführungsbeispiel der vorliegenden Erfindung näher erläutert. Der Aufbau des Falthandtuchspenders 1 entspricht hinsichtlich der Verstellmittel im Wesentlichen dem Aufbau des ersten Ausführungsbeispiels, so dass nachfolgend in erster Linie auf die konstruktiven Unterschiede eingegangen werden soll.With reference to Fig. 2 to 5 a second embodiment of the present invention will be explained in more detail below. With regard to the adjustment means, the construction of the folding towel dispenser 1 essentially corresponds to the construction of the first exemplary embodiment, so that the design differences will be discussed below in the first place.

In diesem Ausführungsbeispiel ist das Gehäuse 2 des Falthandtuchspenders 1 geschlossen ausgeführt und weist zwei Gehäuseteile 200, 201 auf, die lösbar miteinander verbunden sind. Ein erstes Gehäuseteil 200, welches die Rückwand 21 des Gehäuses 2 umfasst, kann am Ort des Gebrauchs an einer Wand oder dergleichen angebracht werden. Ein zweites Gehäuseteil 201 ist über eine Schwenkachse 10 oder über mindestens zwei Scharniergelenke am ersten Gehäuseteil 200 angelenkt. Das zweite Gehäuseteil 201 kann somit nach vorne und nach unten relativ zum ersten Gehäuseteil 200 verschwenkt werden, um das Gehäuse 2 zu öffnen und beispielsweise den Falthandtuchvorrat aufzufüllen.In this embodiment, the housing 2 of the paper towel dispenser 1 is executed closed and has two housing parts 200, 201 which are detachably connected to each other. A first housing part 200, which includes the rear wall 21 of the housing 2, may be attached to a wall or the like at the point of use. A second housing part 201 is articulated on the first housing part 200 via a pivot axis 10 or via at least two hinge joints. The second housing part 201 can thus be pivoted forwards and downwards relative to the first housing part 200 in order to open the housing 2 and, for example, to fill up the folded towel blanket.

Der Falthandtuchspender 1 weist wiederum ein im Wesentlichen plattenförmiges Verstellelement 4 auf, das von zwei voneinander beabstandeten Haltevorsprüngen 5a, 5b, die sich von der Rückwand 21 des Gehäuses 2 weg erstrecken, gehalten wird. Man erkennt unter Bezugnahme auf Fig. 4, dass die Haltevorsprünge 5a, 5b mehrere Vertiefungen 50 aufweisen, in denen die untere Begrenzungskante 40 des Verstellelements 4 eingesetzt werden kann. Es wird deutlich, dass die untere Kante 40 des Verstellelements 4 wahlweise in eine der Vertiefungen 50 der Haltevorsprünge 5a, 5b eingesetzt werden kann, um auf diese Weise die Breite der Auflagefläche zu verändern, um Falthandtücher unterschiedlicher Breite im Aufnahmeraum des Falthandtuchspenders 1 unterbringen zu können.The folded towel dispenser 1 in turn has a substantially plate-shaped adjusting element 4, which is held by two spaced-apart holding projections 5a, 5b, which extend away from the rear wall 21 of the housing 2. It can be seen with reference to Fig. 4 in that the holding projections 5a, 5b have a plurality of depressions 50 in which the lower boundary edge 40 of the adjusting element 4 can be inserted. It can be seen that the lower edge 40 of the adjusting element 4 can optionally be inserted into one of the depressions 50 of the holding projections 5a, 5b, in order to thus change the width of the supporting surface, to accommodate folded towels of different widths in the receiving space of the paper towel dispenser 1.

Um das Verstellelement 4 auch an der Rückwand 21 des Gehäuses 2 halten zu können, ist in diesem Ausführungsbeispiel ein Vorsprung 9 vorgesehen, der integral mit der Rückwand 21 ausgebildet ist und in den Aufnahmeraum des Gehäuses 2 hineinragt. Der Vorsprung 8 ist so ausgebildet, dass er die obere Kante 41 des Verstellelements 4 umgreift und somit das Verstellelement 4 an der Rückwand 21 hält.In order to hold the adjusting element 4 also on the rear wall 21 of the housing 2, a projection 9 is provided in this embodiment, which is integrally formed with the rear wall 21 and projects into the receiving space of the housing 2. The projection 8 is formed so that it surrounds the upper edge 41 of the adjusting element 4 and thus holds the adjusting element 4 on the rear wall 21.

Die beiden, bereits oben ausführlich beschriebenen Halteelemente 6a, 6b, die wiederum als Haltgabeln ausgebildet sind, sind in diesem Ausführungsbeispiel ebenfalls in Längsrichtung parallel zur Rückwand 21 verstellbar ausgeführt, so dass der für die Falthandtücher effektiv im Aufnahmeraum zur Verfügung stehende Auflagebereich auf einfache Weise an unterschiedliche Längen von Falthandtüchern angepasst werden können. Die Halteelemente 6a, 6b sind auch in diesem Ausführungsbeispiel über Rastmittel lösbar im Gehäuse 2 festgelegt. Man erkennt beispielsweise in Fig. 5, dass jedes der Halteelemente 6a, 6b zwei Rastvorsprünge 60 aufweist, die in dazu korrespondierende Rastausnehmungen 8 der Rastführungen 70a, 70b, 70c, 70d eingreifen können, die an der Vorderwand 20 beziehungsweise an der Rückwand 21 des Gehäuses 2 angebracht sind, um dadurch die Haltelemente 6a, 6b rastend und damit lösbar an den Rastführungen 70a, 70b, 70c, 70d festzulegen.The two holding elements 6a, 6b, which are already described in detail above, which in turn are designed as holding forks, are likewise adjustable in the longitudinal direction parallel to the rear wall 21 in this embodiment, so that the contact area effectively available for the folded towels in the receiving space can be easily achieved different lengths of folded towels can be adjusted. The holding elements 6a, 6b are releasably secured in the housing 2 also in this embodiment via latching means. One recognizes for example in Fig. 5 in that each of the holding elements 6a, 6b has two latching projections 60 which can engage in corresponding recesses 8 of the latching guides 70a, 70b, 70c, 70d, which are attached to the front wall 20 and the rear wall 21 of the housing 2, respectively Retaining elements 6a, 6b detent and thus releasably to the locking guides 70a, 70b, 70c, set 70d.
