Description

L'invention se rattache au secteur technique des appareils distributeurs de matériaux d'essuyage en papier, ouate de cellulose et similaires, enroulés en bobine ou pré-pliés et étant prédécoupés selon un format déterminé. Ces appareils distributeurs de matériaux d'essuyage ont des applications essuie-main, essuie-tout, papier toilette non limitativement.The invention relates to the technical sector of dispensing devices for paper wiping materials, cellulose wadding and the like, wound in a reel or pre-folded and being precut according to a given format. These dispensers of wiping materials have applications for hand towels, paper towels, toilet paper not limited to.

Le Demandeur a conçu et développé de tels appareils distributeurs qui comprennent dans un carter de protection (1) la réception d'un module (M), support de la bande de matériau prédécoupé à dévider et les mécanismes de distribution de la dite bande, ainsi qu'un couvercle de protection (2), rabattable et articulé par le bas du carter. De manière connue, le module (M) comprend des flasques latéraux (3) entre lesquels est disposée la bobine (B) de matériau prédécoupé à partir d'embouts de réception et positionnée entre les dites flasques. Le module est aussi agencé de manière connue dans sa partie supérieure avec un dispositif de guidage (4) de la bande formant balancier comprenant deux bras (4a) opposés, articulés à partir de l'arrière du module et entretoisés par un rouleau de guidage (4b) sur lequel passe la bande de matériau. La mise en place et position de ce rouleau de guidage s'effectue à l'aide de deux leviers d'armement (5) disposés de chaque côté des flasques (3) du module et qui sont reliés aux bras (4a) du dispositif de guidage par des moyens décrits dans des précédents brevets du Demandeur. L'action sur ses leviers d'armement qui ont une configuration coudée (5a) à l'avant est assurée par la fermeture du couvercle (2) de l'appareil distributeur. Cela est décrit dans le brevet FR 2 967 040 . De manière connue également, le Demandeur a prévu l'aménagement du module dans sa partie frontale avant avec un volet transversal (6) articulé et une plaque d'appui (7) entre lesquels passe la bande de matériau prédécoupé, la dite bande débordant par le bas et étant tiré par l'utilisateur.The Applicant has designed and developed such dispensing devices which comprise in a protective casing (1) the reception of a module (M), support of the strip of pre-cut material to be unwound and the distribution mechanisms of said strip, and a protective cover (2), foldable and articulated by the bottom of the housing. In known manner, the module (M) comprises lateral flanges (3) between which is disposed the coil (B) of pre-cut material from receiving tips and positioned between said flanges. The module is also arranged in a known manner in its upper part with a guide device (4) for the rocker arm band comprising two opposite arms (4a) articulated from the rear of the module and braced by a guide roller ( 4b) over which the strip of material passes. The positioning and positioning of this guide roller is carried out by means of two cocking levers (5) arranged on each side of the flanges (3) of the module and which are connected to the arms (4a) of the device. guidance by means described in the Applicant's previous patents. The action on its arms levers which have an angled configuration (5a) at the front is ensured by closing the cover (2) of the dispensing device. This is described in the patent FR 2 967 040 . In a manner also known, the Applicant has provided the arrangement of the module in its front end with a transverse flap (6) hinged and a support plate (7) between which passes the band of pre-cut material, said band overflowing from the bottom and being pulled by the user.

Le Demandeur a ainsi mis au point un dispositif permettant le débourrage de la bande de matériau, lorsque par suite d'une traction trop forte par l'utilisateur, il se produit un bourrage du matériau entre le volet et la plaque d'appui en partie supérieure. Cela a été décrit dans le brevet FR 2 966 034 . Pour faciliter l'avancement et le déroulement de la bande de matériau entre la plaque et le volet à l'avant du dit module, il a aussi été prévu l'utilisation d'un galet monté sur un axe disposé en partie arrière du volet et pouvant déborder élastiquement par rapport au plan avant du volet. Ce galet accompagne et facilite le mouvement et déplacement vers le bas de la bande de matériau tirée. Cela a été décrit dans le brevet FR 2 967 040 .The Applicant has thus developed a device for deburring the web of material, when as a result of excessive traction by the user, there is a stuffing of the material between the shutter and the support plate in part higher. This has been described in the patent FR 2 966 034 . To facilitate the advancement and the unwinding of the strip of material between the plate and the shutter at the front of said module, it has also been provided to use a roller mounted on an axis disposed at the rear of the shutter and being able to protrude elastically with respect to the front plane of the shutter. This roller accompanies and facilitates the movement and downward movement of the strip of material drawn. This has been described in the patent FR 2 967 040 .

En pratique, les solutions apportées à ce jour, bien que très satisfaisantes, n'empêchent pas la remontée de la bande de matériau dans l'appareil, ceci par l'effet dû au mouvement du dispositif de guidage du matériau formant balancier qui par inertie génère un retour en arrière.In practice, the solutions provided to date, although very satisfactory, do not prevent the rise of the strip of material in the apparatus, this by the effect due to the movement of the guide device of the rocker material which by inertia generates a rollback.

Le document GB 625 689 décrit un appareil distributeur de tissu éponge comprenant un rouleau de distribution d'essuie-mains, mis en rotation par une poignée à vis sans fin et roue engrenage agencées de telle sorte qu'il est nécessaire de faire tourner la poignée un certain nombre de fois pour effectuer une révolution du rouleau. Un cliquet coopère avec la roue dentée pour empêcher la rotation inverse du rouleau de distributionThe document GB 625,689 discloses a sponge dispenser apparatus comprising a hand towel dispenser roll rotated by a worm gear and gear wheel arranged so that it is necessary to rotate the handle a number of times to perform a roll revolution. A pawl cooperates with the toothed wheel to prevent reverse rotation of the dispensing roller

La démarche du Demandeur a donc été de réfléchir et concevoir une solution qui permette d'éviter le retour en arrière et remontée de la bande de matériau.The Applicant's approach was therefore to think and design a solution that avoids the return and reassembly of the strip of material.

En outre, le Demandeur s'est entaché à rechercher une solution simple, apte à être utilisée soit par la traction naturelle sur la bande de matériau prédécoupé par l'utilisateur, soit à l'aide d'un levier de commande actionné par le dit utilisateur.In addition, the Applicant was tainted to seek a simple solution, able to be used either by the natural traction on the web of material pre-cut by the user, or with the help of a control lever actuated by the said user.

La solution trouvée répond à l'objectif recherché et offre ainsi un grand confort d'utilisation. Cette solution est simple, facile à mettre en oeuvre et est efficace pour tous types de matériaux d'essuyage, quelle que soit l'épaisseur du matériau et ses caractéristiques spécifiques.The solution found meets the desired objective and thus offers a great comfort of use. This solution is simple, easy to implement and is effective for all types of wiping materials, regardless of the thickness of the material and its specific characteristics.

Par ailleurs et dans un souci d'optimisation, le Demandeur a apporté encore une amélioration complémentaire dans la relation fonctionnelle entre le volet et la plaque de guidage qui contribuent encore plus à empêcher la remontée du matériau d'essuyage après un effort de traction intense, ceci étant en perfectionnement par rapport aux profils des plaque et volet décrits dans les brevets FR 2 968 530 et 2 970 167 .Moreover, and for the sake of optimization, the Applicant has made a further improvement in the functional relationship between the flap and the guide plate, which contribute even more to preventing the wiping material from rising after an intense tensile force. this being in perfecting with respect to the profiles of the plate and shutter described in the patents FR 2 968 530 and 2,970,167 .

L'angulation donnée par ce déport correspond aux positions limites du galet (9) par rapport au volet (6), c'est-à-dire en débordement ou non par rapport au plan du dit volet. Un levier de commande manuelle (14) est disposé sur un côté de l'axe (8) et en particulier par rapport au bloc (10) réceptionnant la partie roue libre. Le levier (14) solidaire de l'axe (8) est assujetti à un moyen élastique de rappel (15). Le bloc (10) est agencé pour permettre le débattement angulaire du levier (14). On comprend ainsi que l'actionnement de ce levier (14) sous la poussée (P1) va provoquer l'actionnement et rotation de l'axe (8) entraînant par le galet (9) le déroulement de la bande de matériau prédécoupé. Comme représenté aux figures 6 à 9 la rotation du galet (9) n'est permise que dans un seul sens selon la flèche (F1) de part le principe de la roue libre. Cette rotation du galet (9) est autorisée de part l'effet de traction selon la flèche (F2) de la figure (8) lors du tirage de la bande de matériau. Dans l'hypothèse d'une traction faite de la bande de matériau par l'utilisateur générant un effet de basculement du dispositif de guidage (4) de la bande de matériau, l'effet retour de ce dernier ne provoque pas la remontée de la bande de matériau. En effet, le galet (9), libre que dans un seul sens de rotation par la roue libre disposée dans le bloc (10), ne peut tourner en sens arrière et il y a un effet de blocage du dit galet contre la paroi en regard arrière du couvercle. La bande de matériau est ainsi coincée et ne peut remonter. De plus, la partie levier (11) par une extrémité vient en contact avec la paroi intérieure du volet (6) en constituant un appui supplémentaire de blocage. Bien que l'axe (8) ait une certaine liberté de flexibilité en position, la remontée de la bande de matériau est rendue impossible par la double intervention roue libre et contrôle du levier (11) sur la paroi interne de la plaque. La plaque d'appui (7) est montée articulée par des ergots (7.1) sur les flasques latéraux du module (M) et présente une partie centrale sur sa face arrière en contact avec le galet (9). Lors de la fermeture du couvercle, la plaque d'appui agit sur les leviers d'armement (5).According to the invention, as Figures 3, 4 and 10 , 1 , the flap (6) is arranged to receive the device (D1) anti-rise of the web of material. This device (D1) comprises a shaft (8) of great length arranged parallel to and on the rear face of the flap (6) on which is positioned in the middle part a roller (9), which is likely to be opposite a central opening (6.1) arranged on the flap (6). This axis (8) is secured at a first end to a block (10), configuration cubic or similar arranged internally to receive said end (8.1) of said axis and a pawl for freewheel operation, that is to say in a single direction of rotation. This block (10) is secured itself to the rear face of the flap. The other end (8.2) of the axis is associated with a rod-shaped lever (11). This lever is articulated on an axis (12) integral with a fixed portion such as the end portion (6.2) of the flap while a return spring (13) provides the connection between the rear plane of the flap and said lever (11). In other words, by this construction, the axis (8) is fixed on one side and subjected to a spacing capacity with respect to said flap (6) against the return means (13). . The angulation given by this offset corresponds to the limit positions of the roller (9) with respect to the flap (6), that is to say overflow or not with respect to the plane of said flap. A manual control lever (14) is disposed on one side of the axis (8) and in particular with respect to the block (10) receiving the freewheel part. The lever (14) integral with the axis (8) is secured to an elastic return means (15). The block (10) is arranged to allow the angular movement of the lever (14). It is thus understood that the actuation of this lever (14) under the thrust (P1) will cause the actuation and rotation of the axis (8) causing the roller (9) to unwind the strip of pre-cut material. As represented in Figures 6 to 9 the rotation of the roller (9) is only allowed in one direction according to the arrow (F1) from the principle of the freewheel. This rotation of the roller (9) is authorized by the traction effect according to the arrow (F2) of the figure (8 ) when drawing the strip of material. In the event of a traction made of the web of material by the user generating a tilting effect of the guide device (4) of the web of material, the return effect of the latter does not cause the rise of the web strip of material. Indeed, the roller (9), free only in one direction of rotation by the freewheel disposed in the block (10), can rotate in the backward direction and there is an effect locking said roller against the rear wall of the lid. The strip of material is thus stuck and can not go up. In addition, the lever portion (11) at one end comes into contact with the inner wall of the flap (6) constituting an additional blocking support. Although the axis (8) has a certain freedom of flexibility in position, the rise of the web of material is made impossible by the double freewheel intervention and control of the lever (11) on the inner wall of the plate. The support plate (7) is articulated by lugs (7.1) on the lateral flanges of the module (M) and has a central portion on its rear face in contact with the roller (9). When closing the lid, the support plate acts on the arming levers (5).

On a simplement représenté aux figures 3 et 4 des ouvertures d'allègement (6.3) (7.3) sur le volet et la plaque d'appui.We simply represented to Figures 3 and 4 lightening openings (6.3) (7.3) on the flap and the support plate.

La distribution de la bande de matériau peut être effective soit par tirage manuel par l'utilisateur, soit à l'aide du levier (14) de commande permettant d'actionner le galet (9) en rotation pour amener la sortie de la bande de matériau.The distribution of the web of material can be effective either by manual pulling by the user or by means of the control lever (14) for operating the roller (9) in rotation to bring the output of the web of material.

On a représenté identiquement les flèches (F3) et (F4) figure 9 l'effet anti-remontée de la bande de matériau.The arrows (F3) and (F4) are represented identically figure 9 the anti-rising effect of the web of material.

En se référant aux figures 3 et 4, le volet (6) et la plaque d'appui ne présentent pas de formes complémentaires interactives sur la bande de matériau distribuée.Referring to Figures 3 and 4 the flap (6) and the backing plate do not have interactive complementary shapes on the web of dispensed material.

Par contre, aux figures 10 et 11, une optimisation des formes du volet et de la plaque d'appui (7) pour assurer le blocage en position de la bande de matériau. On retrouve sur ces figures la même configuration du dispositif empêchant la remontée de la bande de matériau, mais en plus, une configuration particulière du volet et de la plaque d'appui afin d'assurer une fonction complémentaire de blocage en position de la bande de matériau.On the other hand, Figures 10 and 11 , an optimization of the shapes of the flap and the support plate (7) to ensure the locking in position of the strip of material. In these figures, we find the same configuration of the device preventing the ascent of the material web, but in addition, a particular configuration of the shutter and the support plate to ensure a complementary locking function in the position of the web. material.

A cet effet, le volet (6) et la plaque d'appui (7) sont articulés légèrement l'un par rapport à l'autre par rapport à leurs positions respectives entre les flasques du module (M). Le volet et la plaque d'appui sont agencés avec des formes complémentaires curvilignes (6.4) (7.4) disposées en arc-en-ciel et s'enchevêtrant l'une dans l'autre et entre lesquelles passe la bande de matériau tirée. Le fait de rendre, soit le volet fixe et la plaque d'appui mobile sur un espace de liberté, soit le volet mobile et la plaque d'appui fixe sur un espace très limité, permet le rapprochement de l'un par rapport à l'autre et le contact ferme des dites formes complémentaires bloquent la remontée de la bande de matériau et seulement dans ce cas. En outre, ce déplacement relatif est permis à l'aide de moyens notamment élastiques prévus à partir des flasques du module. Il est prévu sur la plaque d'appui d'agencer certaines formes curvilignes en arc-en-ciel avec des parties en saillie (7.5) susceptibles de pénétrer dans des ouvertures (6.5) formées sur le volet (6).For this purpose, the flap (6) and the support plate (7) are articulated slightly relative to each other with respect to their respective positions between the flanges of the module (M). The flap and the support plate are arranged with curvilinear complementary shapes (6.4) (7.4) arranged in rainbow and entangled in one another and between which passes the strip of material drawn. The fact of rendering either the fixed flap and the movable support plate on a space of freedom, or the movable flap and the fixed support plate on a very limited space, allows the approximation of one with respect to the other. other and the firm contact of said complementary shapes block the rise of the strip of material and only in this case. In addition, this relative movement is allowed by means of elastic means provided from the flanges of the module. It is provided on the support plate to arrange some curvilinear rainbow shapes with protruding portions (7.5) capable of penetrating openings (6.5) formed on the flap (6).

L'ensemble de ces dispositions fait qu'il y a impossibilité de remontée de la bande de matériau en supprimant tout effet de bourrage en cas de traction forte par l'utilisateur.All of these provisions makes it impossible to rise the web of material by eliminating any jamming effect in case of strong traction by the user.

Ainsi selon l'invention, le dispositif anti-remontée de matériau d'essuyage fonctionne aussi bien en mode normal qu'avec la présence du levier (14) à commande manuelle qui est également lié au système d'auto-blocage. Que la traction soit douce ou brutale sur la bande de matériau, le levier en forme de biellette (11) accouplé par l'axe (8) au levier (14) et à la roue libre permet le défilement de la bande de matériau sans aucune pression sur le galet (9) car le levier en forme de biellette s'écarte et le galet rentre inversement toujours dans le même sens de défilement de la bande de matériau. S'il est nécessaire d'actionner le levier (14) pour sortir la bande de matériau, le levier (11) en forme de biellette se rapproche et le galet (9) se trouve en pression et déborde du plan avant du volet pour être en contact avec la bande de matériau et faciliter sa sortie.Thus, according to the invention, the wiping material anti-rising device operates both in normal mode and with the presence of the manually operated lever (14) which is also connected to the self-locking system. Whether the traction is soft or abrupt on the web of material, the rod-shaped lever (11) coupled by the pin (8) to the lever (14) and to the free wheel allows the scrolling of the web of material without any pressure on the roller (9) as the rod-shaped lever deviates and the roller returns inversely always in the same direction of travel of the strip of material. If it is necessary to actuate the lever (14) to release the web of material, the rod-like lever (11) moves closer and the roller (9) is in pressure and protrudes from the front plane of the flap to be in contact with the strip of material and facilitate its exit.

Le dispositif anti remontée fonctionne dans les deux cas.The anti-lift device works in both cases.

Les avantages ressortent bien de l'invention. On souligne en particulier la simplicité du dispositif anti-remontée de la bande de matériau et son optimisation possible par un agencement du volet et de la plaque d'appui avec une légère capacité de mobilité verticale de l'un par rapport à l'autre.The advantages are apparent from the invention. In particular, the simplicity of the anti-lift device of the material web is emphasized, and its possible optimization by an arrangement of the shutter and the support plate with a slight capacity for vertical mobility relative to one another.
