FR2675366A1 - NON-RECOVERABLE CARTON DISPENSER EQUIPPED WITH INTERNAL PUSHERING SYSTEM FOR STORING AND DISTRIBUTING CAREFULLY PRODUCTS IN FOLDED SHEETS ASSEMBLED IN THE FORM OF LIGHTWEIGHT LIASSE. - Google Patents

Abstract

Cardboard storage box 25, equipped with an internal pusher system 13 or 13' enabling the box to be used as a dispenser. The invention relates to the storage function, the dispensing function, when in the vertical position, and the automatic advance of a flexible product in the form of sheets towards an outlet opening. These thin sheets are folded, in a staggered fashion, then stacked, and placed vertically inside the disposable box. The products to be dispensed may be: paper, cellulose wool, fabrics, thermoplastic sheets or the like 13-14-15-16-17-23-7-8-25-26-27. It consists of a parallelepipedal box assembly comprising, on the front face, a rectangular dispensing opening with ovoid or rounded-off corners and topped at its centre by a half-circle through which two or three fingers 7-8-27 can pass, making it easier to grip a product. A driving/pusher assembly, fastened to the sides 14 of the box 17, extends by elastic-member compression 15 and enters into the box 19. This elastic member supports a sole 13 on which it is secured by four holes 1-2. The sole distributes evenly the thrust forces caused by the extension of the elastic member over the entire rear surface of the stacks to be dispensed 23. When dispensing is complete, a compressed part 33 of the pusher sole projects 29 so as to improve gripping of the products to be dispensed.

Description

The present invention relates to a pusher system rep 135; this provision

  -sitive is housed inside a cardboard box p Arallèlépipèdique ordinary rep 17 This pusher drives to a distribution opening,

  folded products such as: folded sheets staggered, in two, or in quadruple

  The sheets may be, of cellulose wadding, paper, cloth or any other flexible material, stacked in the form of thick bundles These thick bundles rep 23 are

  placed; vertical leaves, inside this trans-

  -formed thus directly in block assembly "Distributor" and this, at a cost

extremely reduced.

  The entire pusher mechanism, as well as the case, is disposable, so disposable; it contains no pollutant, it can be burned without toxic release, it meets the hygiene requirements

  prescribed by the Directorate-General for Health.

  There are many devices, wanting to perform the functions

  storage box and distribution, but their capacity is extremely reduced, because they are devoid of any internal engine system, ensuring an automatic advance of the product to be dispensed, to the outlet port, under the action of a pushing force Moreover, he

  often requires the action of two hands, to extract a product, see even

  -me manually separate the product that we want to remove, from the one that

  succeeds him and has remained stored inside the case.

  To cite just one example of application, our system

  In this invention, can store napkins from the manufacturing plant and distribute them in a cerise and pontinue way, without intermediate manual transit, so no contact outside man's hand

  nor any external agents; thus one obtains a total hygiene.

  Current dispensing systems require the manual filling

  -single sheets stacked loose under plastic bag More

  this operation is difficult to perform; or we only take

  towels at a time and it takes a long filling time, from

  to try to take between the fingers of one hand, a thick bundle

  -se of these soft and compressible products / we risk seeing this lias-

  to escape from the hands of the fan-fighter who is

-clatement.

  The improvements, the reality of the innovations that are the subject of the present invention, aim to remedy all these disadvantages mentioned above. In addition, the conventional storage box with the additional function of distributor because of the internal incorporation of a pusher mechanism. Each cardboard box acting as storage and distributor,

  can be used alone to meet these two stated functions.

  On the other hand, housed inside a distributor box in A B S or other material, one thus obtains a module of connectable subassemblies

  in width and height; we can stack these distributors and

  close two parallel distributor stacks until you obtain the desired compact block Example: 16 boxes in stock per 2 x 8 allow us to store 2 x 8 x 150 = 2400 towels, ten times more than the ditributter

current classics.

  In addition all the distributors are operational simultaneously and allow the withdrawal at the same time of several towels, the block

  distributor with several outputs of products as well as

  The capacity of these assembled modules makes it possible, for example, within a self-service meal distribution chain to satisfy the

  a child's height or an adult's height for simultaneous prehension

two towels.

  There is in no case out of stock, by these modules assembled.

  No need for filling during the meal service phase.

  Assemblies of KIT modules can be adapted to the nature and shape of the premises; be fixed to the wall, placed against a pi; -lier, placed on a table with a ballast and an anti-slip sole, or even glued to an ice and removable, this using 3 M products These improvements brought by this invention, make our storage box, with its incorporated distributor, responds better than hitherto to the desire of the practice; presentation, implantation, distribution and hygiene rep 25 Because of these compact multi-purpose systems, storage and dispensing, there is no loss of time due to conventional filling of

  current distributors placed on the market.

  In addition, adaptable anywhere with its modular KITS in function

  -the shape and nature of the premises where they will be located

  also meets hygiene conditions unmatched today.

  Each cardboard dispenser box can be personalized, printed in several colors, and can thus have an important advertising impact.

  For this purpose, the dispenser storage box assembly, according to the first invention, comprises inside: A sub-assembly of rigid cardboard base rep 13 acting as a pusher and mut by a latex elastic rep 15 applied at four points called actuators, providing the necessary force for training

  products to be dispensed to the outlet.

  This pusher sole, thick cardboard, rigid, can take several-

  forms, external and internal cutouts, according to the nature of the

-delivered.

  The shapes and cuts made to this pusher sole are

  designed and appropriate to prevent any slippage of the system by

  -port on the back of the last product to distribute that applies on it.

  Rectangular outer shape, with rounded or truncated corners, outer dimensions slightly lower than the inner dimensions of

  the storage box, inside which it must slide 13.

  This pusher cardboard sole is held in the latex elastic rep 15 by four thread holes rep 14, arranged two by two in its

outside flanks.

  Explanation of the assembly of the elastic; it penetrates the sole by the side hole on the left front side, applies to the back of the sole, then goes back to the right side of the right side hole, will be fixed in the right side cheek from the inside to outside the

  box by the hole arranged for this purpose, applies on the lateral side ex-

  -erieure to go back through the other side hole of the box and reentry inside the latter It continues its journey by entering the

  from the pusher through the right rear hole, applies to the back of the push-

  -seur and spring forward by the left rear hole It remains only to lock on the left side of the side of the box this part of loop of the elastic, from the entry of the pusher to that of the exit , and lately enumerated; same locking principle e 5 verroiillage on the right side flank of the housing Rep 13-14-15-16 o 17-18 49 This cardboard pusher sole equipped with its elastic motor, which, when pushed to the bottom of the housing is in the armed position rep 20, is ready to perform its function, that is to say: to advance to the ori fi -fice output the products to be dispensed having been deposited above, and

  this as the box empties of its contents.

  The four holes pass son released in the pusher sole serving as a guide, slide and connection between the calibrated elastic and this

  These holes are arranged two by two on each side of the width and

  and thus the distribution of loads over the entire surface of the sole, which itself ensures, a thrust judiciously distributed over the entire surface of the back of the products to be distributed Compared to the sides of the

  The development of this box fig 1, object of this second invention
