Taking up and cutting device for film rolls, paper rolls or similar.

&zgr; , The invention relates to a device for receiving and cutting at least two film rolls, paper rolls or the like, in particular cling film, aluminum foil or bread paper for household use, with a housing in which the rolls are arranged and which has a removal slot, as well as with a cutting device assigned to the removal slot and displaceable along it.

A receiving and cutting device for film rolls, paper rolls or similar of this type is known from DE-PS 28 49 457. The device serves to receive two such rolls, for example for cling film, aluminum foil or bread paper for household use. For this purpose, two compartments are arranged one above the other in a housing to receive one roll each. Each of these two compartments is assigned a horizontal removal slot and a cutting device that can be moved along this removal slot, by means of which the film or paper protruding from the corresponding removal slot can be cut off after it has been pulled out to the desired length. The cutting device consists of a carriage that is connected to the device above the corresponding removal slot via an L-shaped rail.

I. housing and can be moved along it. ^Below the removal slot, usually bridging the latter, the carriage has a cutting element, for example in the form of a rotatably mounted circular knife, by means of which the film or paper is cut off as the carriage moves along.

&rgr; The disadvantage of this known device is that a separate cutting device is required for each compartment or for each roll.

is provided in order to be able to cut the required foil or paper . This is technically complex, especially since the cutting devices consist of many individual parts and thus the production

\': costs are very high. In addition, the well-known

■'■ Device to arrange the compartments one above the other, so that the housing is very high with, for example, four compartments and thus there are difficulties in installing the device, for example, under wall cupboards in the kitchen.

Based on this, the invention is based on the task of further developing the known receiving and cutting device for paper rolls, paper rolls or the like in such a way that it only requires a single cutting device common to all rolls.

As a technical solution, the invention proposes a magazine that holds the rolls and is mounted in the housing so that it can rotate or pivot about an axis in order to remove and cut the required film or paper from the corresponding roll into a predetermined removal position.

A receiving and cutting device for film rolls, paper rolls or the like designed according to this technical teaching.

has the advantage that it has a common cutting device for all rolls. Accordingly, only a single removal slot is provided in the housing for all rolls. This significantly reduces the technical complexity of the device, since, for example, with four rolls, four cutting devices no longer have to be provided as before, but only one. If more rolls can be accommodated, the number of individual parts is thus considerably reduced. The rolls are aligned parallel to the rotation or swivel axis of the magazine. If three or more rolls are to be accommodated in the housing, they must be evenly distributed around the circumference, for example with four rolls with an angular distance of 90°. In this case, all rolls have a common removal position into which the magazine is rotated accordingly, whereby this removal position is preferably in the area of the removal slot in the housing. If a specific roll is required, the magazine is rotated to the specified removal position so that the tip of the film or paper is visible in the removal slot, and the beginning of the film or paper is pulled out to the desired length and then cut off by operating the cutting device. The device according to the invention with a rotating magazine also has the advantage that the housing increases in depth but is not too high in height, so that the housing itself can be hung on the wall under wall cabinets with four rollers.

In a first embodiment of the magazine, this has troughs in the shape of a partial circle cylinder for accommodating one roll each, with each trough being assigned a coaxially pivotable cover, also in the shape of a partial circle cylinder, for opening and closing the trough, with a passage between the trough and the cover when the trough is closed.

-A-

slot for the film or paper is defined. This type of magazine design has the advantage that the rolls can be inserted into the receiving trays from the front after the cover has been swung into the open position. This is particularly advantageous when the rolls cannot be pushed into the housing physically due to limited space. The trays of the magazine are rigidly connected to one another. In the closed position, the covers prevent the rolls from falling out of the trays when the magazine rotates, with the tip of the film or paper being clamped in place by the lip-like through-slot. This also prevents the tip from bending.

In a further development of the cover, it is designed to be spring-loaded and, when closed, rests against the inserted roll. This prevents the roll from rolling up or unrolling inside the tray when the magazine is rotated. Rather, holding the roll in place ensures that the tip of the film or paper protruding from the feed-through slot retains the length it had when it was previously cut, even when the magazine is rotated several times.

In order to prevent the cover from opening accidentally and independently when the tub is closed, a further development provides a locking device for the closed state between the tub and the cover.

Finally, in a further development of this embodiment, the tray has stops at the end for the inserted roll, so that the tip can also be gripped from the side and pulled out.

In a second embodiment of the magazine, it has slotted tubes for holding a roll each. In this case, the rolls are inserted into the tubes of the magazine at the side.

to be inserted, whereby the tip of the folio or the paper is guided outwards through the lip-like slot formed in the tube, within easy reach, and this is held like a pair of pliers, without bending downwards.

Here too, the tubes preferably each have at least one retaining spring, which rests against the roll when it is inserted and thus fixes it when the magazine is rotated and springs against it when it is pulled. The retaining spring is preferably designed as a spring tongue extending in the longitudinal direction of the tube, which is cut out of the casing of the tube. In terms of manufacturing technology, this represents a simple way of forming the retaining spring.

In a third embodiment of the magazine, it has trays that are part-circular and cylindrical and can swing around an axis in the housing to accommodate a roll each. The rollers in these trays always adjust themselves when the magazine is rotated so that the opening of the tray is at the top due to gravity.

In order to ensure in this embodiment that the openings of the trays are directed upwards when the magazine rotates, it is proposed in a further development of this embodiment that the magazine has trays that are part-circular and cylindrical in shape and are each mounted in the housing so as to be rotatable about an axis to accommodate a roller, with the trays being assigned a common planetary gear in such a way that when the magazine rotates the openings of the trays are always at the top.

A fourth embodiment of the magazine proposes that it is divided into sections by a fan cross to accommodate one roll at a time.

« ■

I. t ·

is formed, whereby in each compartment of this fan cross a holding down bar is arranged that can be pivoted about an axis and fixed to the fan cross to define a lip-like passage for the film or paper.

A fifth embodiment of the magazine, which is intended for two rolls, has swivel arms for these two rolls, by means of which they can be swiveled around the axis into the removal position. This fifth embodiment differs from the first four embodiments in that the magazine does not perform an (endless) rotary movement, but rather a swivel movement, by means of which the two rolls are alternately swiveled into the respective removal position against stops. The removal positions for the two rolls do not have to match, but each roll can have its own removal position. It only has to be ensured that the unequal lengths of the beginnings of the film or paper come to rest in the area of the removal slot. The magazine can therefore be designed like a swing. In this embodiment too, the magazine can provide special receiving elements for the two rolls, whereby the receiving elements can be those as described above in the first four embodiments, i.e. trays (possibly with a cover) or slotted tubes.

In an advantageous development of the device according to the invention, a braking device is provided between the housing and the magazine, in particular between a rotary knob of the magazine and the housing. Such a braking device prevents the magazine from rotating independently due to rollers of unequal weight.

In a further development, a locking device is provided between the housing and the magazine to determine the removal position for the rolls. Such a locking device enables the magazine to be rotated or swiveled into the correct position in a reliable and quick manner. This locking device preferably has some play to improve the gripping conditions.

In order to be able to use different roll widths, the magazine's mounting elements for the rolls are mounted in the magazine using spring-loaded clamping cones. This is particularly intended for the version with the fan cross.

Starting from a device in which the cutting device has a carriage which is connected to the housing above the removal slot via a rail-shaped guide and can be moved along it and which has a cutting element below the removal slot, it is proposed in a further development of this cutting device that the guide for the carriage is formed by two guide rails which are parallel to one another and spaced apart, which can be elastically bent against one another and onto which the carriage is placed. Such a guide has the advantage that the carriage can be moved easily along the two guide rails without there being any risk of jamming and thus of the carriage movement coming to a halt, since the guide rails adapt to the tilt angle of the carriage due to their elasticity.

Preferably, the carriage can be clipped onto the guide rails. This has the advantage of making the carriage easy to install.

Also based on a device in which the cutting device has a carriage which is connected to the housing above the removal slot via a rail-shaped guide and can be moved along it and which has a cutting element below the removal slot, a further development of this cutting element proposes that a rail with an edge is arranged on the housing parallel to the removal slot and that the carriage has a roller which rolls along the edge of the rail when the carriage is moved lengthways. The rail and roller are preferably made of (hardened) metal. The edge of the rail can, for example, form an angle of 90° so that the user cannot cut himself on this edge of the rail. As the roll rolls along the edge of the rail, the material in between is divided by a squeezing process. This system is particularly suitable for transparent films, but also works perfectly with aluminum foil and bread paper and has the particular advantage that no holding elements, for example in the form of rubber rollers on both sides, are required.

Preferably, the roller is mounted so that it can be moved longitudinally on its axis of rotation. This has the advantage that the roller does not always run on the same circumferential line on the edge of the rail during the longitudinal displacement, but that the roller gradually moves upwards due to the unavoidable tilting of the carriage during the longitudinal displacement, so that the entire circumferential surface of the roller is evenly stressed.

In a further development of the rail, it has a rectangular cross-section and can be inserted into a slot in the housing. This means that all four edges of the rail can be used by inserting them accordingly.

An additional cutting system provides that the roll is connected to a coaxial circular blade and that a groove is formed between the rail and a housing strip parallel to it, into which the circular blade extends. This circular blade carries out a conventional cutting process and is particularly suitable for aluminum foil and bread paper. The foil or paper to be cut is stretched between the rail and the housing strip. The transparent film is thereby separated from the rail/roll.

( , In a further development of the device, it is provided that a separate kitchen paper roll is stored on a crossbar of the housing below the magazine. This represents an additional option for storing a roll, which, however, does not require a cutting device, since the kitchen paper is provided with its own perforation.

In a further development, a storage compartment for supply rolls is provided above the magazine in the housing.

Finally, the housing has a front flap with a cutting device arranged thereon, so that after opening the front flap, which preferably has a locking device in the open position, the magazine can be easily filled.

The cutting device described above and claimed in claims 16 to 20 for the inventive receiving and cutting device for film rolls, paper rolls or the like represents, with its features, an independent invention which is not tied to the subject matter of the main claim with the formation of a magazine, in particular not to a device for several film or paper rolls.

- 10 -

- &iacgr;&ogr; -

Thus, the cutting device according to the invention can, for example, also be provided for a device which has only a single film or paper roll or the like. This independence of the inventions applies equally to the design of the carriage guide (claims 16 and 17) and to the design of the cutting elements (claims 18 to 20).

\ Further details, features and advantages of the subject matter of the invention will become apparent from the following description ; ^! of the accompanying drawings, in which various embodiments of a device according to the invention for receiving and cutting at least two film rolls, paper rolls or the like are shown schematically.

Embodiment of a cutting device, which is based on the first embodiment shown in Fig. 14;

Fig. 16a to f different embodiments for the

Guiding the carriage of the cutting device along the housing of the device.

Figures 1 to 3 show a first, preferred embodiment of a device for receiving and cutting four rolls 1, for example for cling film, microwave foil, aluminum foil or bread paper for household use. The device consists of a housing 2, which can be attached to a wall, for example. To receive the four rolls 1, a magazine 3 with special receiving elements for each of the rolls 1 is arranged inside the housing. This magazine 3 for the rolls 1 is mounted so as to be rotatable about an axis A in the side walls 4 of the housing 2, with a rotary knob 5 serving as the rotary actuator, as can be seen in particular in Figure 3.

In this first embodiment, the magazine 3 consists of four trays 6, which are essentially semicircular and cylindrical in shape and are evenly arranged around the axis A at an angular distance of 90°. These trays 6 each serve to hold a roll 1, as can be seen, for example, in Fig. 2 at the bottom right of the tray 6. At the end, the trays 6 are each designed as rings 7. This has the purpose that a cover 8 for each of the trays 6 can be pivoted coaxially into them in such a way that the cover 8 can be moved into an open position for inserting a new roll and then

- 13 -

send can be brought into a closed position in which the tub γ is completely covered by the cover 8. The covers 8 are also designed in the shape of a part-circle cylinder and each have a ring 9 at the end, by means of which the cover 8 can be coaxially pivoted in the rings 7 of the tub 6. In addition, the covers 8 are each designed to be spring-loaded in such a way that they rest continuously on the rollers 1 inside the tubs 6 and thus fix them in place. Depending on the diameter of the roller 1 located in the tub 6, the various positions are indicated in dashed lines in Fig. 2 at the bottom right of the cover 8, with the end position of the cover 8 being indicated in the solid line. When the cover 8 is closed, a through slot 10 is defined between the cover 8 and the tub 6 for the beginning of the film or paper 11 wound up on the roll 1.

In order to fix the cover 8 in the closed position with respect to its trough 6, a locking device 12 is provided between the cover 8 and the trough 6, as can be seen in particular in Fig. 1. This locking device 12 is formed between the two rings 7 and 9 of the trough 6 on the one hand and the cover 8 on the other. Furthermore, the troughs 6 are each provided with stops 13 at their ends, which fix the rollers 1 in position in their troughs 6.

A different roll 1 is arranged in each of the four trays 6. The beginning of the film or paper 11 protrudes through the through-slot 10 between the cover 8 and the tray 6. If a specific roll 1 is required, the magazine 3 can be rotated by hand around the axis A until the corresponding roll 1 is in the removal position, as shown in Fig. 2 by the

The visible beginning of the film or paper 11, which protrudes through the feel-through slot 11, protrudes in this removal position through a horizontal removal slot 1A, which is formed in a front flap 15 of the housing 2. By pulling on the beginning of the film or paper 11, it can be pulled out to the desired length through the removal slot 1A. A cutting device 16, which can be moved parallel to the removal slot 1A, is used for cutting, and which will be described in more detail in two embodiments with reference to Figs. 1A and 15. The cutting device 16 shown in Fig. 1A is implemented in the first embodiment of the device shown in Figs. 1 to 3, with the exception of the formation of a guide for this cutting device 16.

The cutting device 16 consists of an L-shaped carriage 17. This can be moved along the removal slot IA of the housing 2 by means of a guide. For this purpose, the guide basically provides two guide rails 18 in all embodiments of the device, which are formed parallel to one another and at a distance from one another on the housing. The special thing about these guide rails is that they can be bent elastically against one another. In addition, the carriage 17 can be clipped onto the guide rails 18 through corresponding recesses 19.

Various forms of the guide rails 18 can be seen in the drawings, in particular in the special representations of Fig. 14 to 16a to f. The basic principle of the elastically bendable guide rails 18 is that when the carriage 17 is moved along these guide rails 18, the carriage 17 inevitably moves with respect to

- 15 -

the longitudinal extension of the guide rails 13 is slightly tilted, so that with rigid guide rails 18 this tilting would mean that the carriage 17 could no longer be moved. However, due to the elastic bendability of the guide rails 18, they adapt to the tilting of the carriage 17, so that it can be moved along the guide rails 18 without any problem, regardless of where the carriage is gripped. So that the carriage 17 does not jump out of the guide rails 18 at the end, these are preferably provided with stops in this end area.

Another special feature of the cutting device 16 is the design of the cutting elements associated with the carriage 17. For this purpose, in the embodiment shown in Fig. 14, a metal rail 20 with a rectangular cross-section is inserted parallel to the removal slot 14 in a receiving slot in the housing. The special feature of this rail 20 is that it has an edge 21 which, in the embodiment shown, encloses an angle of 90°. This angle can also be somewhat larger or smaller. In any case, the edge 21 ensures that a user cannot cut himself on it.

A cylindrical roller 22 mounted in the carriage 17 is assigned to the rail 20. Its cylindrical axis of rotation D extends perpendicular to the rail 20 and parallel to the plane of the removal slot 14. The roller 22 is mounted so that it can be moved longitudinally on this axis of rotation D. For the cutting process, this roller 22 rolls on the edge 21 of the rail 20 when the carriage 17 is moved after the film or paper 11 has been brought between the rail 20 and the roller 22 when the carriage 17 is in one of the two outermost end positions, so that the film

- 16 -

or the paper 11 can be pulled out through the removal slot 14. By rolling the roll 22 on the edge 21 of the rail 20, the film or the paper 11 is crushed and split in the process. This system is particularly suitable for transparent films - but also works very well with aluminum foil or bread paper. By sliding the carriage 17 under light pressure, the roll 22 gradually moves upwards on the rotation axis D due to the unavoidable tilting, so that the entire peripheral area of the roll 22 is stressed. In the final position after the cutting process has been completed, the roll 22 then slides back down on the rotation axis D by itself.

The embodiment shown in Fig. 15 represents a further development of the embodiment in Fig. 14. This also has a rail 20 and a roller 22 rolling on it, as well as a circular blade 23 coaxial with the roller 22, which is firmly connected to the roller 22. This unit consisting of roller 22 and circular blade 23 is also mounted so that it can be moved longitudinally on the axis of rotation D. On both sides of the cutting edge of the circular blade 23, a housing strip 24 is formed in the housing 2, which together with the rail 20 defines a groove 25 into which the cutting edge of the circular blade 23 extends. To cut the film or paper 11, the latter is stretched between this housing strip 24 and the rail 20, so that a conventional cutting process is carried out by the circular blade 23, provided the carriage 17 is moved. This system is particularly suitable for aluminum foil and bread paper, but is also equally suitable for transparent films. Since the embodiment in Fig. 15 combines both cutting systems, this cutting device 16 represents an optimal option for cutting a wide variety of materials, since the corresponding system carries out the crushing or cutting process depending on the respective material.

In all embodiments of the magazine 3, it is provided with a braking device 26 and a locking device 27. These two devices will be described with reference to Fig. 31 of the first embodiment.

As already mentioned above, the magazine 3 has a rotary knob 5 that extends out of the housing 2. This is mounted in a recess 28 in the side wall 4. The braking device 26 consists of an arcuate spring 29 that can be pivoted outwards by arms 5 ^' of the rotary knob 5 in that the arms 5' rest against the inside of the spring 19 in a friction-locking manner. This braking device 26 prevents the magazine 3 from rotating independently due to unequal weight of the rollers 1.

The reefing device 27 is defined on the one hand by the spring 29 and on the other hand by a second spring 3D, with an intermediate distance being defined between them. The arms 5 ^' of the rotary knob 5 engage in this intermediate distance 31 and define the removal position of the respective roll 1. The rotary knob 5 has a number of arms 5* corresponding to the number of _rolls 1. The spring 30 is designed to correspond to the spring 29, i.e. it can be pivoted outwards. In order to bring another roll 1 into its respective removal position, the rotary knob 5 is therefore turned further along the arrow. Since the spring 30 is provided with a run-on surface 32, this is pivoted outwards by the respective arm 5' so that the arm 5* can pass the spring 30 and the following arm 5' of the rotary knob 5 can engage.

In the first embodiment in Fig. 1 and 2, it can also be seen that a separate kitchen paper roll 34 is arranged on a crossbar 33 below the magazine 3. Above

- 18 -

of the housing 2, this has a storage compartment 35 for supply rolls 36 or, as in the illustrated embodiment, for breakfast bags. In the illustrated embodiment, the breakfast bag is guided out through a slot in the housing 2 and can be torn off along its perforation.

While in the first embodiment shown in Figs. 1 to 3 the rolls 1 can be inserted into the receiving elements of the magazine 3 from the front due to the troughs 6 which can be closed with covers 8, in the embodiment shown in Figs. 4 and 5 the rolls 1 can be inserted into the receiving elements from the side. For this purpose, the magazine 3 has tubes 37 evenly distributed around the circumference, each of which is provided with a slot 38, in an arrangement that the beginning of the film or paper 11 protruding through the slot 38 protrudes through the removal slot 14 when the corresponding roll 1 is in the removal position.

In order to hold the rollers 1 within the tubes 37, retaining springs in the form of spring tongues 39 are provided, which are cut out of the outer surface of the respective tube 37 in the longitudinal direction and are bent inwards in such a way that the spring tongues 39 rest against the rollers 1, as can be seen in Fig. 5.

In this embodiment too, the magazine 3 is rotated until the desired roll 1 is in the removal position common to all rolls 1 (position bottom right), so that the beginning of the film or paper 11 protrudes through the removal slot 14 and can be pulled out to the desired length in order to then cut it off using the cutting device 16. In this embodiment , this cutting device 16 is designed according to the embodiment in Fig. 15.

i.7 -

In the embodiment of the device shown in Fig. 6 and 7, the magazine 3 is formed by a swastika-shaped fan cross 40 for defining four compartments 41. In each of these compartments 41, a roll 1 is mounted on an axis A' ^1. At the end, this axis A' ¹ has pivoting arms 42. The ends of these two pivoting arms 42 are connected by a bar 43, this bar &Oacgr; with the fan cross 40 each defining a feed-through slot h\ ^% for the beginning of the film or paper 11. To insert the corresponding roll 1 into the compartment 41, the roll 1 is placed on the axis A ¹¹ and the bar 43 is pivoted upwards by means of the pivoting arms 42 so that the beginning of the film or paper 11 can be fed through. The pivoting arms 42 are then pivoted back so that the bar 43 rests against the fan cross 40 to define the through slot 43*. In this position, the bar 43 can be fixed with respect to the fan cross 40 to define a constant through slot 43'.

In this embodiment, it can also be seen from Fig. 6 that the rollers 1 are mounted within the magazine 3 by means of clamping cones 44. For this purpose, the clamping cones 44 are fixedly arranged on the right-hand side of the magazine 3, while on the left-hand side they are each pressed inwards by means of a spring 45. This has the advantage that rollers 1 of different widths can be used, with the spring 45 being compressed accordingly for wider rollers.
and the associated clamping cone 44 is moved to the left. The magazine 3 thus serves to accommodate rolls 1 of different widths.

- 20 -

In the embodiment in Fig. 8 and 9, the receiving elements of the magazine 3 for the rolls 1 consist of channel-shaped trays 46, each of which is mounted so as to be able to swing around an axis A ^1. A roll 1 is placed in each of these trays 46, and when the magazine 3 rotates, the trays 46 swing due to gravity in such a way that the opening is always at the top.

To ensure that the openings of the Tubs 46 are always on top, is in the execution progress in

Fig. 10 and 11 a planetary gear <+/ is provided between the individual troughs 46.

Finally, in the embodiment in Fig. 12 and 13, the magazine 3 is not rotatable as in the previous embodiments, but pivotable. Furthermore, this embodiment of the device is only intended for two rolls 1.

For this purpose, the magazine 3 consists of double-armed pivot arms 48, between the corresponding ends of which a receiving element for the rolls 1 is arranged. These receiving elements can be designed in accordance with those described with reference to the previous embodiments.

In this embodiment of the device, the two rolls 1 are pivoted into the respective removal position by means of the magazine 3, whereby both rolls 1 have their own removal position. For the lower roll 1, this is the position at the bottom right and for the upper roll 1, the position at the top right, after the pivoting arms 48 have been pivoted accordingly. When pivoting into the respective removal position, it is ensured that the beginnings of the film or the paper

piers 11 of the respective roll 1 protrude through the removal slot 14, while the unused beginning of the other film or paper 11 of the other roll 1 is pulled back.

The advantage of the device described using various embodiments is that only one single cutting device 16 is provided for all rolls 1, whereby the rolls 1 are arranged in a magazine 3 for this purpose.
