Description

L'invention se rattache au secteur technique des appareils de distribution de papier d'essuyage en ouate de cellulose, en papier crêpé et en matériau similaire destiné plus particulièrement à l'essuyage des mains des utilisateurs, à la distribution de papier toilette, à la distribution de serviettes en papier.The invention relates to the technical sector of distribution of wiping paper in cellulose wadding, crepe paper and of similar material intended more particularly for wiping hands users, distributing toilet paper, distributing paper napkins.

Le demandeur a développé de nombreux brevets sur les appareils du type précité et on rappelle succinctement les caractéristiques de tels appareils, qui comprennent essentiellement un carter (1) présentant une face de fond (1a) et deux ailes latérales (1b), ledit carter se prolongeant dans sa partie basse avec un profil incliné, l'ensemble présentant un profil adapté pour permettre la réception d'un couvercle (2). Dans sa partie basse le carter est susceptible de recevoir d'une manière connue un tambour (3) creux intérieurement pour recevoir un dispositif de coupe (4). Dans la partie haute, le carter reçoit deux flasques (5a) (5b) susceptible de recevoir à articulation un porte bobine (6) ayant des embouts (6d) supports d'alimentation d'une bobine de matériau d'essuyage (B). Ladite bobine d'essuyage est susceptible de prendre appui sur le tambour (3) de manière à permettre le passage et le déroulement de la bande de matériau à l'arrière entre le tambour et la paroi de fond du carter, de sorte que ladite bande de matériau soit susceptible de déboucher dans la partie basse de l'appareil. Pour assurer une tenue de la bobine de matériau sur le tambour, il est nécessaire d'exercer une certaine pression d'appui constamment, durant tout le déroulement de la bobine de matériau, quels que soient les efforts effectués. The applicant has developed numerous patents on the devices of the aforementioned type and we briefly recall the characteristics of such devices, which essentially comprise a casing (1) having a face bottom (1a) and two lateral wings (1b), said casing extending in its lower part with an inclined profile, the assembly having an adapted profile to allow the reception of a cover (2). In its lower part the casing is capable of receiving in a known manner a hollow drum (3) internally to receive a cutting device (4). In the game high, the housing receives two flanges (5a) (5b) capable of receiving at articulation a reel holder (6) having end caps (6d) supports supply of a reel of wiping material (B). Said coil is likely to rest on the drum (3) so as to allow the passage and unwinding of the strip of material at the rear between the drum and the bottom wall of the casing, so that said strip of material is likely to lead into the lower part of the device. To ensure that the spool of material stays on the drum, it is necessary to exert a certain pressure of pressure constantly, during all the unwinding of the material reel, whatever the forces performed.

Le brevet FR 2592022 du demandeur définit ainsi un appareil de ce type.Applicant's patent FR 2592022 thus defines a device of this type. type.

Ainsi, le flasque porte-bobine est susceptible de pivoter pour permettre un ajustement constant à l'encontre dudit tambour. Il est donc nécessaire de rechercher et contrôler le bon déroulement de la bande de papier en fonction du diamètre et du poids du rouleau de papier et en fonction de la tension de traction exercée sur l'extrémité débordante du papier en sortie de l'appareil. On doit également tenir compte de la nature du papier qui peut varier selon le serrage en spires et enroulements.Thus, the spool holder flange can pivot to allow constant adjustment against said drum. It is therefore necessary to research and control the smooth running of the tape paper depending on the diameter and weight of the paper roll and in function of the tensile tension exerted on the projecting end of the paper out of the machine. We must also take into account the nature paper which can vary according to the tightening in turns and windings.

Le but recherché était donc de concevoir un appareil distributeur de matériau incluant un dispositif de régulation de déroulement de la bande papier permettant de contrôler d'une manière précise et fiable la distribution de ladite bande de papier.The aim was therefore to design a dispensing device for material including a tape unwinding device paper allowing precise and reliable control of distribution of said strip of paper.

Selon une première caractéristique, l'appareil comprend un dispositif de régulation permettant d'assurer une pression constante de la bobine sur le tambour, chaque bras du porte bobine étant assujetti à un curseur monté à coulissement dans des rails et relié par un moyen de rappel élastique au bras correspondant, lesdits rails formant glissière étant disposés entre les ailes latérales du carter et les bras porte-bobine et permettant selon l'épuisement de la bobine de matériau l'appui dudit matériau sur le tambour, en tension constante.According to a first characteristic, the apparatus comprises a device regulator to ensure a constant pressure of the coil on the drum, each arm of the reel holder being subject to a slider mounted on sliding in rails and connected by elastic return means to the arm corresponding, said slide rails being disposed between the wings sides of the housing and the spool arms and allowing depending on the exhaustion of the reel of material the support of said material on the drum, in tension constant.

Ces caractéristiques et d'autres encore ressortiront bien de la suite de la description.These and other characteristics will become apparent from the following the description.

Pour fixer l'objet de l'invention, on le décrit maintenant d'une manière non limitative.To fix the subject of the invention, it is now described with a without limitation.

L'appareil du type précité comprend un dispositif de régulation permettant d'assurer une pression constante de la bobine de matériau d'essuyage sur le tambour et ce quelles que soient la qualité et l'épaisseur du papier d'essuyage.The apparatus of the aforementioned type includes a regulating device ensuring constant pressure of the material reel of wiping on the drum and whatever the quality and thickness wiping paper.

Le dispositif est conçu comme suit :The device is designed as follows:

La bobine d'essuyage (B) sous forme de rouleau est disposée entre les les bras (6a-6b) du porte bobine (6) qui est articulé par rapport au plan support formé par le fond du carter. Les deux bras sont associés par une barre (6c) entretoise, susceptible de prendre appui contre le fond dudit carter. L'un des bras (6a) est à position fixe tandis que l'autre bras (6b) est à position mobile articulé par rapport à la barre entretoise (6c) précitée, pour permettre le positionnement, l'introduction et le chargement de la bobine de matériau. Ledit bras mobile (6b) est articulé à l'encontre d'un moyen de rappel élastique (7) dont une extrémité (7a) est fixée audit bras et l'autre extrémité (7b) à la barre entretoise. Chacun des bras présente dans sa partie supérieure un embout (6d) susceptible de s'engager dans le mandrin de la bobine de matériau d'essuyage. L'articulation du bras mobile (6b) est obtenue à l'aide d'un profil saillant (6e) pouvant être manipulé par l'opérateur.The wiping reel (B) in the form of a roll is arranged between the arms (6a-6b) of the reel holder (6) which is articulated relative to the plane support formed by the bottom of the housing. The two arms are associated by a bar (6c) spacer, capable of bearing against the bottom of said casing. One of the arms (6a) is in a fixed position while the other arm (6b) is with movable position articulated with respect to the aforementioned spacer bar (6c), for allow positioning, insertion and loading of the reel of material. Said movable arm (6b) is articulated against a means of elastic return (7) of which one end (7a) is fixed to said arm and the other end (7b) to the spacer bar. Each of the arms present in its part upper a tip (6d) capable of engaging in the mandrel of the reel of wiping material. The articulation of the movable arm (6b) is obtained using a projecting profile (6th) which can be manipulated by the operator.

Selon l'invention chaque bras (6a-6b) du porte bobine est associé à un dispositif (D) déplaçable coulissant, susceptible d'accompagner le pivotement du porte-bobine lors de la réduction de diamètre de la bobine de chargement. Pour ce faire, entre les ailes latérales (1b) établies sur le carter et les bras (6a-6b) du porte-bobine sont disposés dans les intervalles considérés des rails (8) présentant une bande rectiligne verticale (8a) et des extrémités (8b) perpendiculaires et fixées au fond du carter, en faisant apparaítre une ouverture intérieure (8c). Ces rails de grande longueur permettent le déplacement et coulissement d'un curseur (9) monté mobile et articulé à l'encontre d'un ressort de tension. (10) Chaque curseur (9) comprend en lui-même deux flasques parallèles (9.a-9b) parallèles et espacés l'un de l'autre reliés en bout à l'aide d'un galet (11) roulette ou similaire qui est susceptible de venir en appui contre le chant inférieur (8d) de la bande verticale (8a) du rail de guidage. Les deux flasques (9.a - 9b) dudit curseur dans leur position haute sont associés à l'aide d'une plaquette (12) de caractéristiques et de dimensions similaires aux roulettes (11) en permettant la fixation du ressort de rappel (10) par une extrémité (10a) de celui-ci. L'autre extrémité (10b) dudit ressort (10) est fixé sur le bras (6a-6b) du porte-bobine.. Chaque curseur (9) est monté flottant à l'encontre d'un moyen élastique, tout en étant guidé autour dudit rail (8) correspondant, en étant susceptible de se déplacer le long de ce dernier lors du basculement du porte-bobine. Ledit curseur accompagne le long des rails de guidage les bras du porte-bobine en assurant une mise en tension constante de la bobine de matériau sur le tambour.According to the invention each arm (6a-6b) of the coil holder is associated with a movable sliding device (D) capable of accompanying the pivoting of the spool holder when reducing the diameter of the spool loading. To do this, between the side wings (1b) established on the housing and the arms (6a-6b) of the spool holder are arranged in the intervals considered rails (8) having a vertical rectilinear strip (8a) and ends (8b) perpendicular and fixed to the bottom of the housing, making an interior opening (8c) will appear. These long rails allow the displacement and sliding of a movable mounted cursor (9) and hinged against a tension spring. (10) Each cursor (9) includes in itself two parallel flanges (9.a-9b) parallel and spaced from each other connected at the end using a roller (11) roller or similar which is likely to bear against the lower edge (8d) of the vertical strip (8a) of the guide rail. The two flanges (9.a - 9b) of said cursor in their high position are associated with the aid of a plate (12) with characteristics and dimensions similar to the casters (11) in allowing the fixing of the return spring (10) by one end (10a) of this one. The other end (10b) of said spring (10) is fixed on the arm (6a-6b) of the reel holder. Each slider (9) is mounted floating against with elastic means, while being guided around said rail (8) corresponding, being likely to move along the latter during tilting of the spool holder. Said cursor accompanies along the rails guiding the arms of the spool holder ensuring tensioning constant of the material reel on the drum.

Ainsi en se référant aux figures 3, 4 et 5, le ressort de rappel (10) associé à chaque curseur étant en extension, il apparaít qu'il y a constamment quelque soit le diamètre du rouleau de matériau une tension exercée, contrôlée et adaptée.Thus, with reference to FIGS. 3, 4 and 5, the return spring (10) associated with each cursor being extended, it appears that there is constantly whatever the diameter of the roll of material a tension exercised, controlled and adapted.

Figure 3, le rouleau ou bobine de matériau est plein et lourd, les ressorts (10) sont d'un côté de l'axe d'articulation du porte-bobine, et allègent ainsi le porte bobine et donc le rouleau.Figure 3, the roll or reel of material is full and heavy, the springs (10) are on one side of the axis of articulation of the spool holder, and thus lighten the reel holder and therefore the roller.

Selon la figure 4, le rouleau est de dimension plus réduite après un début d'utilisation. Les axes des galets ou roulettes des curseurs, et les axes d'articulation du porte-bobine sont en alignement dans une position d'extension maximum des ressorts (10) correspondant au point mort de position du porte-bobine ; ils sont donc sans action sur le porte-bobine et le poids du rouleau s'appuie sur le tambour.According to FIG. 4, the roller is of smaller size after a start of use. The axes of the rollers or sliders, and the axes of the spool holder are aligned in one position maximum extension of the springs (10) corresponding to the neutral position of the reel holder; they therefore have no action on the spool pin and the weight of the roller rests on the drum.

Selon la figure 5, lorsque le rouleau est dévidé plus encore, le porte-bobine passe de l'autre côté de l'axe d'articulation et les ressorts agissent pour assurer la pression du matériau sur le tambour.According to Figure 5, when the roll is further unwound, the reel holder goes on the other side of the hinge pin and the springs act to ensure material pressure on the drum.

Les rails jouent ainsi une fonction de glissières permettant un déplacement limité des curseurs. Leur montage flottant et élastique permet de s'adapter à tous les efforts de traction sur la bande de matériau par l'utilisateur en vue d'assurer les effets de compensation souhaités.The rails thus play a slide function allowing a limited cursor movement. Their floating and elastic mounting allows to adapt to all the tensile forces on the strip of material by the user in order to ensure the desired compensation effects.

Les avantages ressortent bien de l'invention. On souligne la simplicité du dispositif de régulation de tension.The advantages emerge clearly from the invention. We underline the simplicity of the voltage regulation device.
