Description

La présente invention se rapporte à un distributeur de produits en forme de feuilles. Elle vise en particulier un distributeur d'articles en ouate de cellulose.The present invention relates to a distributor of products in the form of leaves. It relates in particular to a distributor of articles of cotton wool cellulose.

On trouve couramment dans les locaux publics, tels que des établissements de restauration, des distributeurs d'articles en ouate de cellulose que l'on met à la disposition des consommateurs. Il peut s'agir de serviettes de table, d'essuie-mains ou de papier toilette.Commonly found in public premises, such as establishments catering, distributors of cellulose wadding items that are makes available to consumers. These can be towels table, hand towels or toilet paper.

Généralement un distributeur de serviette de table comprend un boítier de forme sensiblement parallélépipédique avec un panneau frontal pourvu d'une fente de distribution au travers de laquelle on extrait les serviettes. Les serviettes sont disposées en paquet à l'intérieur soit en étant simplement juxtaposées et indépendantes les unes des autres soit enchevêtrées.Generally a napkin dispenser includes a box of substantially parallelepiped shape with a front panel provided a distribution slot through which the towels are extracted. The towels are arranged in a package inside or by being simply juxtaposed and independent of each other either entangled.

Les distributeurs peuvent être placés à plat ou bien verticalement contre un mur.Distributors can be placed flat or vertically against a Wall.

La taille du distributeur est en rapport avec l'importance du passage dans le local. En particulier il ne doit pas être trop petit pour que l'on ait pas à le recharger trop souvent. Le fournisseur de ces appareils de son côté cherche toujours à proposer à ses clients des solutions adaptées à leurs besoins, mais il doit tenir compte des coûts associés à la gestion d'un grand nombre de références ainsi que des coûts de fabrication. En outre les appareils sont volumineux au stockage.The size of the dispenser is related to the importance of the passage in the local. In particular it should not be too small so that one does not have to recharge too often. The supplier of these devices is looking for always to offer its customers solutions adapted to their needs, but it has to take into account the costs associated with managing a large number of references as well as manufacturing costs. In addition, the devices are bulky during storage.

Il serait donc souhaitable de disposer d'un appareil de distribution dont les dimensions peuvent être choisies librement sans que cela entraíne des coûts prohibitifs.It would therefore be desirable to have a distribution device whose dimensions can be freely chosen without incurring costs prohibitive.

L'invention parvient à cet objectif avec un distributeur modulaire comportant un corps tubulaire, un panneau frontal pourvu d'une fente de distribution et un panneau arrière, caractérisé par le fait que ledit corps comprend des premières nervures longitudinales par le moyen desquelles les panneaux frontal et arrière sont fixés sur le dit corps. The invention achieves this objective with a modular dispenser comprising a tubular body, a front panel provided with a slot distribution and a rear panel, characterized in that said body includes first longitudinal ribs by means of which the front and rear panels are fixed to said body.

Grâce à la solution de l'invention on peut proposer un distributeur à la capacité souhaitée en choisissant un corps de forme tubulaire ou bien en « U » de longueur adaptée. En particulier le fait que la fixation des panneaux d'extrémité se fasse sur des nervures longitudinales permet d'adapter la longueur sans détruire les moyens de fixation.Thanks to the solution of the invention, it is possible to propose a distributor to the desired capacity by choosing a tubular body or by "U" of suitable length. In particular the fact that fixing end panels are done on longitudinal ribs allows to adapt the length without destroying the fixing means.

Ces nervures tout en rendant le montage simple offrent l'avantage de raidir les parois. Il est ainsi permis de les réaliser plus fines et d'économiser de la matière.These ribs while making assembly simple offer the advantage of stiffening the walls. It is thus possible to make them finer and to save material.

Conformément à une autre caractéristique le corps comporte un panneau amovible sur une de ses faces et comprend une seconde nervure coopérant avec une nervure solidaire dudit panneau amovible. En particulier l'une desdites deux nervures a une section en forme d'arc de cercle, l'autre ayant une section en forme de portion de disque de façon à constituer une charnière.According to another characteristic, the body has a panel removable on one of its faces and includes a second cooperating rib with a rib integral with said removable panel. In particular one of said two ribs has a section in the form of an arc of a circle, the other having a section in the form of a disc portion so as to constitute a hinge.

Conformément à une autre caractéristique, le corps comporte des troisièmes nervures pour le guidage d'un panneau transversal à l'intérieur entre les deux panneaux frontal et arrière.According to another characteristic, the body has third ribs for guiding a transverse panel inside between the two front and rear panels.

Conformément à une autre caractéristique, le corps comporte des quatrièmes nervures pour le guidage d'un ressort de rappel dudit panneau transversal.According to another characteristic, the body has fourth ribs for guiding a return spring of said panel transverse.

Conformément à une autre caractéristique, les nervures s'étendent longitudinalement sur toute la longueur dudit corps.According to another characteristic, the ribs extend longitudinally over the entire length of said body.

Conformément à une autre caractéristique ledit corps est constitué de deux parties en forme d'équerre assemblées en forme de « U ». En particulier, les deux parties sont maintenues ensemble par deux éléments formant des nervures. According to another characteristic, said body consists of two square-shaped parts assembled in a "U" shape. In particular, the two parts are held together by two elements forming ribs.

Conformément à une autre caractéristique ledit corps comprend des nervures, sur sa face interne notamment, assurant ensemble les fonctions de guidage, d'assemblage et de fermeture.According to another characteristic, said body comprises ribs, on its internal face in particular, together ensuring the functions of guidance, assembly and closure.

L'invention porte également sur un procédé pour fabriquer un distributeur, caractérisé par le fait qu'il consiste à tronçonner un élément formant ledit corps dans un élément extrudé comportant des nervures longitudinales sur sa face interne, et à fixer, à une extrémité, sur ces nervures un panneau avec une fente de distribution et un panneau à l'autre extrémité.The invention also relates to a method for manufacturing a dispenser, characterized in that it consists in cutting off an element forming said body in an extruded element having longitudinal ribs on its internal face, and to fix, at one end, on these ribs a panel with a distribution slot and a panel at the other end.

Conformément à une autre caractéristique ledit élément extrudé est en forme de gouttière et comporte une nervure longitudinale à proximité d'un bord libre sur laquelle on fixe, après tronçonnage, un panneau amovible articulé autour dudit bord libre.According to another characteristic, said extruded element is in gutter shape and has a longitudinal rib near a free edge on which a removable panel is fixed after cutting articulated around said free edge.

Conformément à une autre caractéristique, on tronçonne deux éléments dans deux éléments extrudés en forme d'équerre et on assemble les dits deux éléments pour former le dit corps.According to another characteristic, we cut two elements in two extruded elements in a square shape and we assemble the said two elements to form the said body.

D'autres avantages et caractéristiques complémentaires ressortiront de la description qui suit d'un mode de réalisation non limitatif de l'invention en regard des dessins sur lesquels,

  • la figure 1 représente une vue éclatée en perspective d'un distributeur de l'invention
  • la figure 2 est une vue en perspective d'une partie du corps du distributeur de la figure 1
  • la figure 3 est une vue en perspective de la partie complémentaire du corps du distributeur de la figure 2
  • la figure 4 est une vue en perspective du panneau frontal
  • la figure 5 est une vue en perspective du panneau supérieur.
Other advantages and additional characteristics will emerge from the following description of a non-limiting embodiment of the invention with reference to the drawings in which,
  • Figure 1 shows an exploded perspective view of a dispenser of the invention
  • Figure 2 is a perspective view of part of the body of the dispenser of Figure 1
  • Figure 3 is a perspective view of the complementary part of the body of the dispenser of Figure 2
  • Figure 4 is a perspective view of the front panel
  • Figure 5 is a perspective view of the top panel.

La figure 1 est une vue éclatée d'un mode préféré de réalisation de l'invention. Le distributeur est composé d'un corps en deux parties 10A et 10B, d'un panneau frontal 20, d'un panneau arrière 30, d'un panneau supérieur 40, d'un panneau poussoir 50 et accessoirement d'une fenêtre 60 en matériau transparent complétant la paroi formée par le panneau supérieur. Lorsque ces éléments sont assemblés, ils forment une boíte dans laquelle on dispose les articles en ouate de cellulose, notamment des serviettes de table. Les serviettes sont placées parallèlement au panneau frontal qui est pourvu d'une fente de distribution 21 au travers de laquelle on peut les extraire. Les serviettes sont maintenues contre le panneau frontal 20 par l'appui du panneau poussoir 50 qui est maintenu en poussée grâce à des ressorts de rappel qui sont logés dans les parois du corps 10.Figure 1 is an exploded view of a preferred embodiment of the invention. The distributor is composed of a two-part body 10A and 10B, front panel 20, rear panel 30, panel upper 40, a push panel 50 and incidentally a window 60 in transparent material completing the wall formed by the panel superior. When these elements are assembled, they form a box in which are used for articles of cellulose wadding, in particular napkins. Towels are placed parallel to the panel front which is provided with a distribution slot 21 through which we can extract them. The towels are held against the panel front 20 by the support of the push panel 50 which is kept in thrust thanks to return springs which are housed in the walls of the body 10.

La figure 2 montre l'élément 10A du corps 10. Il a une forme en équerre avec une branche pour le fond et une branche pour une paroi latérale. Sur la branche 10A2 formant une paroi latérale, on observe des premières nervures 11 et 12 longitudinales qui s'étendent d'une extrémité à l'autre de l'élément en équerre. La forme en partie tubulaire, à section circulaire par exemple, de ses nervures permet l'introduction en leurs bouts de vis de maintien des panneaux et leur vissage. La nervure 13 à proximité du bord supérieur de l'équerre, a une section transversale en forme d'arc de cercle pour servir de logement à une nervure complémentaire prévue sur le panneau 40. La nervure 14 est double ; elle est conformée de façon à servir de logement à un ressort hélicoïdal non représenté qui est mobile dans le sens longitudinal. Au lieu d'un ressort on peut prévoir tout autre moyen élastique équivalent qui exerce une force de rappel dans le sens longitudinal. La nervure 15 sert de guide et d'appui à des roulettes ou des patins qui sont montés sur le panneau poussoir. Les nervures 16 sur la branche formant le fond, ici au nombre de trois, servent d'appui aux serviettes qui sont placées dans le distributeur et réduisent notamment le frottement entre les serviettes et la boíte, tout en raidissant la paroi. Sur l'autre bord libre de l'équerre une dernière nervure 17 est destinée à coopérer avec une nervure ménagée sur l'élément 10B pour les lier l'un à l'autre.Figure 2 shows the element 10A of the body 10. It has a square shape with a branch for the bottom and a branch for a side wall. On the branch 10A2 forming a side wall, we observe first longitudinal ribs 11 and 12 which extend from one end to the other of the angled element. The partly tubular shape, with circular cross-section through example, its ribs allow the introduction into their screw ends of maintenance of the panels and their screwing. Rib 13 near the edge upper of the square, has a cross section in the shape of an arc of a circle to serve as a housing for a complementary rib provided on the panel 40. The rib 14 is double; it is shaped so as to serve housing a helical spring not shown which is movable in the longitudinal direction. Instead of a spring we can provide any other means equivalent elastic which exerts a restoring force in the direction longitudinal. The rib 15 serves as a guide and support for rollers or pads which are mounted on the push panel. The ribs 16 on the branch forming the bottom, here three in number, serve to support towels which are placed in the dispenser and in particular reduce friction between the towels and the box, while stiffening the wall. Sure the other free edge of the square a last rib 17 is intended for cooperate with a rib formed on the element 10B to bind them one to the other.

L'élément 10B représenté sur la figure 3, est symétrique du premier, à l'exception des nervures des bords libres longitudinaux. La nervure 17' a une forme complémentaire à celle de la nervure 17 en bourrelet que l'on peut introduire dans le logement que forme la nervure 17. On l'introduit en faisant glisser la nervure 17' depuis une extrémité. On observe que la nervure 15' est double. Sa face inférieure sert de surface de guidage pour l'élément poussoir 50. Elle forme sur sa face supérieure une glissière 18 pour le logement d'un élément de verrouillage, non représenté, du panneau supérieur 40 dont le bord libre vient en appui contre le bord libre supérieur 13' de la branche latérale. L'élément de verrouillage est de préférence un clip avec des branches élastiques.The element 10B represented in FIG. 3 is symmetrical with the first, with with the exception of the ribs of the longitudinal free edges. The 17 'rib has a shape complementary to that of the rib 17 in a bead which is can introduce into the housing formed by the rib 17. It is introduced in sliding the rib 17 'from one end. We observe that the rib 15 'is double. Its underside serves as a guide surface for the pusher element 50. It forms on its upper face a slide 18 for housing a locking element, not shown, of the panel upper 40 whose free edge abuts against the upper free edge 13 'from the lateral branch. The locking element is preferably a clip with elastic temples.

Le panneau frontal 20 est représenté sur la figure 4 vu de sa face interne. On observe quatre logements 23 pour des vis de fixation aux quatre coins. Ces logements sont à la même hauteur que les nervures 11 et 12. une vis introduite depuis l'extérieur peut ainsi être engagée dans l'orifice d'extrémité de chacune de ses dernières.The front panel 20 is shown in FIG. 4 seen from its internal face. There are four housings 23 for fixing screws at the four corners. These housings are at the same height as the ribs 11 and 12. a screw introduced from the outside can thus be engaged in the orifice end of each of its last.

Le panneau arrière n'est pas représenté en détail il comporte les mêmes perçages à proximité des coins pour la fixation par vis aux nervures 11 et 12.The rear panel is not shown in detail, it has the same holes near the corners for screw fixing to the ribs 11 and 12.

La figure 5 montre le panneau supérieur 40. Une nervure 41 est ménagée sur un bord longitudinal. Sa forme est complémentaire de celle de la nervure 13 de l'élément 10A. Une fois qu'elles sont engagées l'une dans l'autre, le panneau 40 peut pivoter autour du bord supérieur de l'élément 10A. Un retrait 42 du profil de la nervure 41 assure la fonction de butée et limite le débattement du panneau 40. Le bord opposé comporte une nervure double qui coopère avec le clip mentionné plus haut. La paroi arrière de cette nervure double limite le mouvement en arrière des branches élastiques du clip. Le panneau poussoir 50 est équipé de chaque côté de roulettes 52 et d'un ergot 53 sur lequel on fixe l'extrémité du ressort de rappel.Figure 5 shows the upper panel 40. A rib 41 is provided on a longitudinal edge. Its shape is complementary to that of the rib 13 of element 10A. Once they are engaged one in the other, the panel 40 can pivot around the upper edge of the element 10A. A withdrawal 42 from the profile of the rib 41 ensures the stop function and limits the travel of the panel 40. The opposite edge has a rib double which cooperates with the clip mentioned above. The back wall of this double rib limits the backward movement of the elastic branches of the clip. The push panel 50 is fitted on each side with rollers 52 and a lug 53 on which the end of the return spring is fixed.

Les pièces 20, 30, 50 et 60 sont, de préférence, fabriquées par moulage de façon classique. Les éléments 10A, 10B et 40 sont, de préférence, réalisés par extrusion de matière, notamment l'aluminium, au travers d'une filière appropriée. Pour la fabrication d'un distributeur il suffit de disposer d'éléments 10, 40 venus du tronçonnage des éléments extrudés.The parts 20, 30, 50 and 60 are preferably produced by molding from classic way. Elements 10A, 10B and 40 are preferably made by extrusion of material, in particular aluminum, through a die appropriate. For the manufacture of a distributor it is enough to have elements 10, 40 from the cutting of the extruded elements.

On assemble ensuite les pièces entre elles comme le suggère la vue éclatée de la figure 1. On forme d'abord le corps 10 en introduisant la nervure 17' de l'équerre 10B dans la nervure 17 de l'équerre 10A. On met en place le panneau supérieur 40 en faisant glisser les nervures 13 et 41 l'une dans l'autre. L'élément de verrouillage, non représenté, est introduit dans la glissière ménagée sur le bord supérieur de la nervure 15'. On met en place le poussoir 50 avec ses roulettes 52 contre les surfaces de guidage formées par les nervures 15 et 15' et les deux ressorts de rappel à l'intérieur des nervures 14 dont une extrémité est solidaire de l'ergot 53, ainsi que la fenêtre facultative 60.We then assemble the pieces together as suggested by the exploded view of FIG. 1. The body 10 is first formed by introducing the rib 17 ' of the square 10B in the rib 17 of the square 10A. We set up the upper panel 40 by sliding the ribs 13 and 41 one into the other. The locking element, not shown, is introduced into the slide formed on the upper edge of the rib 15 '. We set up the pusher 50 with its rollers 52 against the guide surfaces formed by the ribs 15 and 15 'and the two return springs inside the ribs 14, one end of which is integral with the lug 53, as well as the optional window 60.

Enfin on ferme la boíte avec les panneaux 20 et 30 que l'on fixe avec des vis engagées depuis l'extérieur dans les logements 23 jusque dans les nervures tubulaires 11 et 12.Finally we close the box with the panels 20 and 30 that we fix with screws engaged from the outside in the housings 23 as far as the tubular ribs 11 and 12.

On a ainsi réalisé un distributeur robuste, dont la capacité peut être choisie en fonction des besoins, avec un nombre réduit de pièces, et qui globalement est économique. Les pièces peuvent être stockées séparément et montées à la demande. La personne qui assure le montage peut avoir à disposition les éléments extrudés prédécoupés à la bonne longueur ou bien elle peut elle-même tronçonner à la longueur voulue les profils extrudés.A robust dispenser was thus produced, the capacity of which can be chosen as required, with a reduced number of parts, and which overall is economical. Parts can be stored separately and mounted on demand.
