Description
Description
A device for separating paper sections from a paper web wound onto a paper roll, as well
as a knife for separating the paper sections.
The invention relates to a device for separating paper sections from a paper web wound
onto a paper roll in accordance with the pre-characterizing clause of claim 1 as well as to a
knife for separating the paper sections in accordance with the pre-characterizing clause of
claim 7.
A device for separating paper sections as well as a knife for a device of that type is known
from DE 20 03 354 A. This prior-art device comprises a perforating device for dividing
the paper band into individual sheets that contains a rotatable knife with a perforating
cutting edge and – rotating synchronously with the latter - with a slotted roller that is
equipped with a slit that serves to accept the radially outer part of the knife. The cutting
edge of the knife is embodied with a sawtooth shape. Additionally, the knife comprises a
plurality of grooves, into which engage the ridges of a counterpart when the knife is
moving into the immediate vicinity of the slotted roller and is moving past it in a rotating
manner. The knife passes the slotted roller in a rotating manner, so that the radially outer
part of the knife engages into the slit and the knife’s cutting edge perforates the entire
width of the paper web, with the exception of those parts of the paper web that are situated
opposite the grooves. The unperforated portions of the web possess sufficient tensile force
to allow the user to pull the paper web from the dispenser using a gentle steady pulling
force.
US 2005/0224860 A1 relates to a paper dispenser, which comprises a housing with a
cover, a cylinder drum, a cutter device integrated in the cylinder drum, as well as an energy
storage mechanism. The cutter device comprises two knifes that are arranged spaced some
distance apart. The distance between the knifes can be adjusted via an eccentric element
situated in a region between the knifes so that it becomes possible to deliver sections of
different sizes during the dispensing of a paper web. Consequently, it is possible to use
paper webs with different tensile strengths in the same dispenser.
DE 28 14 792 A1 relates to a device for issuing paper sections of a predetermined length
and comprises a device for separating the paper section from the paper web wound onto a
paper roll and for allowing easy access to the paper web following the dispensing of the
separated paper section, whereby the device is operated by pulling on a paper end. The
device consists of at least one cutting roller, which has a width that corresponds to at least
the width of the paper web, and which features a cutting line that at least partially encloses
an angle α – different from zero – with the generatrix of the cutting roller. The cutting
roller comprises a fixed knife, which substantially extends over the entire width of the
roller and protrudes from the roller shell. Associated with the cutting roller is a pressure
roller, which has a slit-shaped opening that matches the knife arrangement. The two rollers
are coupled to each other by means of geared wheels, which possess a partial circle
diameter that corresponds to the roller diameters, and which effect a synchronous
movement of the roller in such a way that the paper web – stretched tightly across the slit-
shaped opening – is perforated by a knife, whereby during the course of this cutting
process the knife penetrates into the slit-shaped opening.
The knife comprises a cutting edge that is embodied sawblade-like. According to this prior
art, a cutting line of the knife forms an angle α with the generatrix of the cutting roller,
whereby the angle corresponds to the constant angle of inclination of the helical line.
Pulling the end of the paper web results in a rotation of the cutting roller by way of
frictional contact. The knife engaging the paper web, which has been stretched tight with
the help of the deflection roll, marks the start of the separation process of the paper section
from the subsequent paper web. This separating process is not completed before the end of
the knife engages with the paper web and a sufficiently large piece of the following paper
web protrudes from the dispenser and is easily accessible by hand for the subsequent paper
dispensing process.
EP 1 153 565 A1 relates to a mechanism for cutting and providing sections of a tape
material, in particular paper towels, comprising at least one cylinder, which in a support
structure is free to rotate about one axis and drags along an end section of at least one web,
whereby arranged in the cylinder is/are one or several movable knife/s, which may
protrude from the cylinder for cutting the end section of the paper web, whereby the knifes
are connected to a shaft that is free to rotate about one axis, e.g. oriented parallel to the
longitudinal axis of the cylinder. The shaft comprises at least one first means, which
protrudes from one side of the cylinder and is free to rotate about an angular portion of a
circumference. The rotational movement is effected by at least one second means, which
shifts along a direction parallel to the longitudinal axis of the movable knife and rotates
about the axis, whereby the rotation-translation movement of this second means is
synchronized to the rotational movement of the cylinder. The rotational movement of the
cylinder is initially started by pulling on the paper web for a distance equivalent to half a
rotation, whereby subsequently the second half rotation is caused by a tension spring,
which is connected between a side wall and a geared wheel that is connected to the axle of
the cylinder. A knife with a sawtooth geometry is used for cutting the paper.
DE 36 90 545 T1 relates to a dispenser for rolls of flexible tape material, comprising a feed
roll and a cutter blade. The cutter blade consists of a series of teeth, which are arranged
some distance from each other along the length of the blade. In this prior art, four pairs of
teeth are present along the length of the blade, whereby these pairs of teeth are separated
by cut-outs. Employing this shape of cutting edge allows the cutting action that is
performed on the web of the flexible band material when it is supplied via the feed roll to
result in a straight cut that extends in parallel to the axis of the feed roll, but this leaves
three small sections of the web uncut, which correspond to the width of the sections and to
the length of the sections still on the circumferential surface of the feeder roll.
By leaving these small uncut sections of the web, which across the width of the web
contain a section between each other, serves to maintain the continuity of the web, when
the web has essentially already been cut but still remains within the confines of the
dispenser chassis before reaching the dispensing outlet. When the web is pulled further out
of the dispenser housing by the future user of the now determined sheet length, the future
user applies a low level of pulling force, which very easily separates the spaced-apart uncut
sections, which are formed by the configuration of the cutting blade and the spacing
between the slits arranged in the circumferential surface of the feed roll.
Starting from this basis, the objective of the present invention is to further develop a device
of the type mentioned above in a way so that paper webs of high strength and elasticity can
be cut and dispensed in a reliable and trouble-free manner.
Another objective of the invention is to further develop a cutting knife of the above-
mentioned type in a way so that paper webs of varying strength and elasticity, in particular
paper webs of high strength and elasticity, can be cut in a reliable and trouble-free manner.
This objective is met by the invention for example with the features of claim 1.
Each of the cut-outs comprises two cutting edges, which extend in parallel to each other
and extend transversely to the longitudinal extent of the knife, whereby at least one of the
cutting edges is a cutting edge of a group of teeth bordering the cut-out. A maximum
length of the cutting edges is achieved by embodying the cutting edges of the group of
teeth bordering the cut-outs in parallel or substantially in parallel.
Along its circumferential surface, the cutting roller comprises circumferential grooves,
each of which corresponds to one of the cut-outs. The width and the depth of the groove
preferably correspond to the width and the depth of the cut-out.
In an especially preferred embodiment, it is intended that the slit-shaped opening of the
pressure roller comprises bridges extending along the circumferential direction, whereby a
width and a spacing of the bridges corresponds to the width and a spacing of the cut-outs in
the knife, so that during a relative movement between the cutting roller and the pressure
roller, the bridges engage into the cut-outs of the knife and work together with the
adjoining cutting edges in a scissor-like manner. This achieves a clean cut in the area of
the bridges, which in turn leads to a smooth and trouble-free continued transport of the
paper section and simplifies tearing-off the paper section.
Further it is intended in a preferred embodiment that the knife comprises a knife edge that
protrudes from the cutting roller and forms an angled section. This ensures that during a
relative movement between the cutting roller and the pressure roller, at the moment when
the knife edge penetrates into the paper web stretched along the circumferential surface of
the pressure roller, the entry angle will be set to an optimum value.
The angled section preferably comprises the groups of teeth and is angled relative to the
blade along a deflection line with an angle α with 15 ° ≤ α ≤ 50 °, preferably α = 35 °.
It is further intended that the cutting roller comprises two sections with a preferably semi-
circular cross-section, and that the blade of the knife is fixed in position, e.g. clamped,
between the semi-circular sections. This embodiment facilitates both a simple assembly
and an uncomplicated exchange of the knife.
To achieve an optimum scissor action between the transversely extending cutting edges of
the knife and the radial bridges of the pressure roller, it is intended that the spacing
between the bridges of the pressure roller corresponds to the width of a group of teeth of
the knife edge.
The invention further relates to a knife for a device for separating paper sections from a
paper web wound onto a paper roll, whereby the knife comprises a knife blade with teeth
and/or groups of teeth, which are arranged spaced apart along the length of the knife blade,
whereby the teeth and/or groups of teeth are separated from each other by cut-outs. The
cut-outs have two cutting edges that extend in parallel to each other and transversely to the
longitudinal extent of the knife, whereby at least one of the cutting edges is a cutting edge
of a tooth or group of teeth bordering the cut-out.
The invention intends that the cutting edges of the groups of teeth possess flanks that rise
in the direction toward the cut-outs, which facilitates a maximum length of the cutting
edges. Flanks that rise in the direction of the cut-out serve to achieve an acute angle,
which improves the knife’s cut into the paper web.
The teeth or groups of teeth are angled with respect to the blade along a deflection line by
an angle α with α 15 ° ≤ α ≤ 55 °, preferably α = 35 °.
The teeth or groups of teeth include outer teeth that adjoin the lateral edge of the blade as
well as at least two inner groups of teeth, whereby a cutting edge of the inner group of
teeth is embodied with a W-shaped geometry and whereby a cutting edge of the outer
group of teeth is embodied with a triangular geometry.
It is further intended that the cutting edges of the inner groups of teeth, which border the
cut-outs, extend in parallel to each other.
Further details, advantages, and features of the invention are not only found in the claims,

Fig. 1 shows a front view of a device 10, referred to as a paper dispenser hereinafter, for
dispensing paper sections of a predetermined length. The device comprises a housing 12
with a rear wall 14 to be mounted to a wall (not illustrated), as well as a covering hood 16.
From the rear wall 14 extend holding elements 18, 20 for accommodating a paper roll 22.
From the paper roll 22 issues a paper web 24, which is accommodated in a device 26 for
separating and dispensing paper sections. The device 26 comprises a right-side wall 28 as
well as a left-side wall 30, which are connected to the rear wall 14. The side walls 28, 30
are connected on the front side via a brace 32. From the brace 32 extends along the
vertical direction a pressure spring 34, which is in contact with a surface 36 of the paper
web 24 or the paper roll 22 and prevents creasing of the paper web 24. The pressure spring
is pivotably mounted around a hinge 38 and can be pivoted laterally to the right or the left
to facilitate exchanging the paper roll 22. The length of the pressure spring is such, that
the pressure spring 34 in its laterally pivoted position prevents the covering hood 16 from
closing.
Fig. 2 shows a sectional view of the paper dispenser 10 along the section line A-A. The
device 26 comprises a cutting roller 40 with a fixed knife 42 that extends along the
longitudinal axis of the cutting roller as well a pressure roller 44 with a slit-shaped opening
46, which extends along the longitudinal direction of the pressure roller 44, and into which
the knife 42 can engage during a synchronous movement of the rollers 40, 44. Each of the
rollers 40, 44 is supported in the side walls 28, 30 by shaft journals 48, 50. At their ends,
each of the shaft journals 48, 50 features geared wheels 52, 54 or 56, 58, which serve to
couple the rollers 40, 44.
Deflecting rollers 60, 62 are provided for guiding the paper web, each of which is
supported on an axle 64, 66, which extend between the side walls 28, 30.
The paper web 24 is deflected by the deflecting rolls 60, 62 and is guided along a
circumferential section 72 around the pressure roller 44 by circumferential guide elements
68, 70. One end 74 of the paper web 24 is guided through a withdrawal opening 76 in the
covering hood 16 and may be grasped by a user. To ensure that the end of the paper web
74 is guided into the withdrawal opening 76, a guide element is provided in the area of the
withdrawal opening 76 and extends along the pressure roller 44 between the side walls 28,
30.
The guide elements 68, 70 are connected in the area of the cutting roller 40 by guide lands
71 that extend in the circumferential direction and are arranged spaced apart. The guide
lands 71 serve to guide the paper web 30 in the region of the guide elements 68, 70, where
the knife 42 engages into the opening 46 of the pressure roller 44.
Fig. 3 shows a lateral view of the paper dispenser 10 and illustrates the geared wheel 52 of
the cutting roller that is connected to the shaft journal 48, as well as the geared wheel 56 of
the pressure roller 44 that is connected to the shaft journal 50. The geared wheels 52, 56
form a gear unit with a 1:1 transmission ratio and effect a synchronous motion of the
rollers in such a way that the paper web 24, which has been stretched tightly along the
circumferential surface 72 of the pressure roller 44, is cut or pierced by the knife 42 when
the paper end 74 is being pulled, whereby during this cutting operation the knife 42
penetrates into the slit-like opening 46.
The geared wheel 52 is coupled to the lateral wall 30 via a tension spring 80 in a way so
that a pulling movement acting on the paper end 74 in the direction of the arrow 82 in
accordance with Fig. 2, effects a rotation of the pressure roller 44 in the direction of the
arrow 84, on account of a frictional engagement between the paper web 24 and the
circumferential surface of the pressure roller. Due to the coupling of the geared wheels,
the geared wheel 48 is moved in the direction of the arrow 86, which results in a tensioning
of the tension spring 80. After half a rotation of the pressure roller 44, the tension spring
has reached its maximum tension, so that during continued pulling of the paper end 74 the
tension spring 80 contracts, which effects an automatic further conveyance, which in turn
guides a new paper end from the opening 76.
Figs. 4 to 7 show individual positions of the cutting roller 40 relative to the pressure roller
44 when a pulling motion acts on the paper end 74.
Figs. 4a) and 4b) show the geared wheels 48, 50 and the rollers 40, 44 in a neutral position,
in which the tension spring 80 is relaxed. In this, an effective line 88 of the tension spring
80 extends substantially perpendicular to a line 90 that connects the shaft ends 48, 50. The
paper web 24 is in contact with the pressure roller 44 along its circumferential surface and
is pulled tight in the area of the slit-shaped opening 46.
Figs. 5a) and 5b) show the geared wheels 48, 50 as well as the rollers 40, 44 in a knife-
engaging position, e.g. after a rotation of approximately 25°, whereby the knife 42
penetrates the paper web and enters into the slit-shaped opening 46, which starts the
separation process. In this position, the knife 42 comes into contact with the paper web.
Pulling the paper end 74 even further results in an at last sectional separation (perforation)
of the paper section by the penetration of the knife 42 into the slit-like opening 46.
Figs. 6a) and 6b) show the geared wheels 46, 50 and the rollers 40, 44 in the engaged-knife
position, in which the knife 42 is completely accommodated in the slit-like opening 46.
Pulling the paper end 74 results in the tension spring 80 being further tensioned, whereby
pursuant to Fig. 7a) and Fig. 7b) the knife 42 – after a rotation of approximately 120 ° - is
no longer engaged in the slit-like opening 46 (knife withdrawal position).
Pulling the paper end 74 serves to further tension the tension spring 80, until the rollers 40,
44 have completed half a rotation. After the effective line 88 of the tension spring 80 has
crossed the centre of the geared wheel, the contraction of the tension spring 80 results in an
automatic further conveyance of the paper web 24, together with the separated paper
section. Subsequently, the paper section 74 can be separated from the paper web 24 along
the perforated cutting line.
Fig. 8 shows a lateral view of the paper dispenser 10 from the right side and shows the
geared wheels 54 and 58, which are in an engaged position. A hand wheel 92 is coupled to
the geared wheel 58 for the pressure roller 44. The hand wheel 92 facilitates a manual
operation of the pressure roller 44 for threading the paper web 24, e.g. after the paper roll
22 has been exchanged.
The geared wheel 58 of the pressure roller 44 interacts with a locking lever 94, which is
pivotably mounted on a rod 96. The locking lever locks the geared wheel 58 along the
direction of the arrow 94.
Fig. 9 shows a perspective representation of the pressure roller 44 with the shaft 50 and the
slit-shaped opening 46. The slit-shaped opening 46 extends along the longitudinal
direction of the pressure roller 44 all along the latter’s longitudinal extent. The slit-shaped
opening 46 comprises four sections 98, 100, 102, 104, which are separated by bridges 106,
108, 110 extending in the radial and the circumferential direction.
Fig. 10 shows a perspective representation of the cutting roller 40 with the fixed knife 42.
The knife 42 comprises a knife edge 112 as well as a knife blade 114, which is
accommodated in the cutting roller 40. In the illustrated embodiment example, the cutting
roller 40 comprises two elements 116, 118, which possess a semi-circular cross-section,
and in between which the knife blade 114 is clamped.
The knife edge 112 comprises four sections 120, 122, 124, 126, which are separated from
each other by cut-outs 128, 130, 132. The individual sections 120, 122, 124, 126 of the
knife edge 112 engage into the sections 98, 100, 102, 104 of the slit-shaped opening 46,
whereby the bridges 106, 108, 110 engage into the cut-outs 128, 130, 132. The outer
surface 134 of the cutting roller 40 is provided with circumferential grooves 136, 138, 140,
which corresponding to the cut-outs 128, 130, 134. The outer surface 134 of the cutting
roller 40 is provided with circumferential grooves 136, 138, 140, which correspond to the
cut-outs 128, 130, 134. The circumferential grooves 136, 138, 140 engage into the guide
lands 71 of the circumferential guide elements 68, 70, whereby the guide lands extend
circumferentially and transversely to the longitudinal axis of the cutting roller 42, so that a
section of the circumferential surface 134 of the cutting roller 42 together with the inner
surface of the guide lands 71 forms a guide surface, which simplifies the guiding of the
paper web, in particular during the threading process.
Fig. 11a) shows a top view onto the knife 42, comprising the knife edge 112 as well as the
knife blade 114. The knife 42 is embodied as a stamped part.
Fig. 11b) shows a lateral view of the knife 42. The knife edge 112 is bent relative to the
knife blade 114 by an angle α, with α in the range of 20 ° ≤ α ≤ 60 °, preferably α = 30 °.
This ensures that the knife edge 112 enters the slit-shaped opening 46 at an optimum angle
for cutting the paper web 24.
In accordance with an aspect of the invention with independent inventive merit, the outer
sections 120, 126 possess a triangular cutting edge, whereby sections 142, 144 or 146, 148
of the cutting edge are embodied with an obliquely downward shape in the direction
towards the lateral edges 150, 152 or the cut-outs 128, 132.
The invention’s embodiment is characterized in that the cutting edges of the central
sections 122, 124 have flanks 154, 156; 158, 160 that rise in the direction of the cut-outs
128, 130, 132, which serves to ensure that cutting edge sections 162, 164, 166, 168 of the
longest possible length are formed adjacent to the cut-outs 128, 130, 132, whereby the
cutting edge sections interact with the bridges 106, 108, 110 of the pressure roller to cut the
paper web in a precise manner, which in turn facilitates a simple tear-off action.
With respect to the invention’s embodiment of the knife edge 112, it should also be noted
that because of the cut-outs 128, 130, 132 the paper web 24 is only subjected to a type of
perforation, instead of being subjected to a complete continuous cut, so that even after the
cutting process, the automatic advance due to the tension spring 80 is sufficient to transport
the paper section 74 to be torn off out of the paper dispenser, without any risk of a paper
jam. After the perforated paper section 74 has been dispensed through the opening 76, it
may simply be torn off by a user, which separates the remaining strands in the paper web
This requires only minimal pulling forces, whereby a further conveyance of the paper web
24 is prevented by the restoring force of the tension spring 80.
As a result of the invention’s embodiment of firstly the knife edge 112 in interaction with
the slit-shaped opening 46 with the sections 98, 100, 102, 104 as well as the bridges 106,
108, 110, and secondly by fine-tuning the spring tension of the tension spring 80, the
invention’s embodiment allows the cutting or rather perforating of paper webs of different
density and strength. In particular, the invention’s paper dispenser 10 is to convey paper
webs with a density of 2 x 25 g per mm , i.e. paper webs that usually can only be used in
electrically operated paper dispensers. In the prior art, mechanically operated paper
