- the dispenser comprising a housing and a system for cutting the strip pulled manually by a user, characterized in that the cutting system comprises a flexible blade and at least one tooth mounted on a front side of the housing, in that the flexible blade has at least one slot positioned opposite the at least one tooth, and in that the flexible blade is deformable under the pressure of the strip, when a user pulls the strip from the front side of the housing, so that the at least one tooth protrudes through the at least one slot, contacts the strip pressed onto the blade flexible, and tears the tape at a pre-cut line.
- the cutting system comprises a flexible blade and at least one tooth mounted on a front side of the housing, in that the flexible blade has at least one slot positioned opposite the at least one tooth, and in that the flexible blade is deformable under the pressure of the strip, when a user pulls the strip from the front side of the housing, so that the at
- the invention makes it possible to improve the efficiency of the cut and the reliability of the dispenser, operating with all types of precut materials.
- the dispenser is well suited for dispensing nonwoven material, requiring significant cutting forces.
- the dispenser according to the invention has a reduced number of parts, so that it is simple and inexpensive to manufacture.
- the flexible blade has at least one end comprising an oblong hole, receiving a fastening element integral with the housing, the flexible blade thus being able to slide laterally while deforming under the pressure of the strip, put in traction when a user pulls on the tape.
- the box consists of five fixed walls delimiting an interior space for receiving the coil
- Some fixed walls or all fixed walls consist of a flat plate.
- the dispenser includes a pivoting roller attached to the housing on the front side, upstream of the cutting system in the strip exit direction, designed to guide the strip from the reel to the flexible blade.
- the roll comprises sections of reduced diameter, and in that the flexible blade comprises tongues arranged projecting in the sections of reduced diameter of the roll.
- the flexible blade has several slots arranged opposite several teeth.
- the teeth are spaced transversely to the direction of unwinding of the strip.
- the flexible blade has a single slot arranged opposite a tooth or several teeth.
- Each tooth has a single protruding point.
- Each tooth has several protruding parts.
- the protruding parts are spaced transversely to the direction of unwinding of the strip.
- Another subject of the invention is the use of a dispenser as described above, equipped with a reel of wiping material which can be unwound into a strip, characterized in that when a user pulls on the strip from the front side of the housing, the flexible blade deforms under the pressure of the strip, the at least one tooth protrudes through the at least one slot, comes into contact with the strip pressed on the flexible blade, and tears the strip at the level of a pre-cut line.
- FIG 1 is a perspective view of a dispenser according to the invention equipped with a reel of wiping material which can be unwound into a strip.
- FIG 2 is a top view of the dispenser of Figure 1.
- FIG 3 is a detail view of the front side of the dispenser of Figures 1 and 2, showing the material strip cutting system.
- FIG 4 is another detail view of the cutting system of Figures 1 to 3.
- FIG 5 is another detail view of the cutting system of Figures 1 to 4, with the flexible blade in the rest configuration.
- FIG 6 is a view similar to Figure 5, with the flexible blade in the active configuration, deformed under the pressure of the strip (not shown).
- FIG 7 is a view similar to Figure 4, for a variant of the cutting system.
- FIG 8 is another detail view of the cutting system of Figure 7, with the flexible blade in the rest configuration.
- FIG 9 is another detail view of the cutting system of Figure 8, with the flexible blade in the active configuration, deformed under the pressure of the strip (not shown).
- FIGs 1 to 6 a dispenser (1) according to the invention, designed to receive a reel (B) of wiping material unwind into a strip.
- the wiping material is pre-cut, that is, the strip has pre-cut lines. These lines constitute areas of localized weakening, making it easier to cut the strip into separate sheets.
- the dispenser (1) comprising a housing (10), a cutting system (20), a guide roller (50).
- the dispenser (1) also comprises a cover, not shown for the purpose of simplification, articulated on the housing (10)
- the housing (10) consists of five fixed walls (11, 12, 13, 14, 15) delimiting an interior space (16) for receiving the coil (B).
- the housing (10) has a front wall (11), a rear wall (12), two side walls (13, 14) and a bottom wall (15).
- some or all of the fixed walls (11-15) can be constituted by a flat plate, so as to simplify the construction of the housing (10) and reduce its manufacturing cost.
- the cover also consists of a flat or slightly domed plate.
- the system (20) is adapted to cut the web pulled manually by a user.
- the cutting system (20) comprises a flexible blade (30) and three teeth (40) mounted on a front side (17) of the housing (10). Each tooth (40) has a single projecting point (41).
- the flexible blade (30) is mounted to move relative to the box (10), while the teeth (40) are mounted fixed relative to the box (10).
- the flexible blade (30) has three slots (31) in the form of circular holes, positioned opposite the three teeth (40).
- the teeth (40) are spaced transversely to the direction of unwinding of the strip.
- the flexible blade (30) is deformable under the pressure of the tensioned strip, when a user pulls on the strip on the front side (17) of the housing (10). At this time, the tips (41) of the three teeth (40) pass through the slots (31), contact the strip pressed on the flexible blade (30), and tear the strip at a line of. pre-cut.
- the flexible blade (30) extends between two ends (33, 34) mounted on the front wall (11), near the side walls (13, 14). Each end (33, 34) receives a fastening element (37, 38) integral with the housing (10), for example a screw.
- the end (33) has an oblong hole (35) receiving the fixing element (37).
- the flexible blade (30) can slide laterally relative to the housing (10) at the end (33), while deforming under the pressure of the strip.
- the roller (50) is pivotally mounted on the housing (10) on the front side (17), upstream of the cutting system (20) in the exit direction of the strip.
- the roller (50) is provided to guide the strip from the reel (B) to the flexible blade (30).
- the roller (50) includes large diameter sections (51) and reduced diameter sections (52).
- the flexible blade (30) includes tabs (32) protruding in the sections (52).
- the sections (51) and tabs (32) housed in the sections (52) force the tape to pass over the blade (30), which helps prevent paper jams.
- FIG. 6 to 9 a variant of the cutting system (20).
- the flexible blade (30) has a single slot (131) arranged opposite a single tooth (140), which comprises two projecting parts (141) spaced apart laterally.
- the parts (141) are spaced transversely to the direction of unwinding of the tape.
- the dispenser (1) can be shaped differently from Figures 1 to 9 without departing from the scope of the invention, which is defined by the claims.
- the technical characteristics of the various embodiments and variants mentioned above may be, in whole or for some of them, combined with each other.
- the dispenser (1) can be adapted in terms of cost, functionality and performance.
