  • the dispenser in question is intended for toilets in public places.
  • Such a dispenser intended for toilets in public places must, on the one hand, prevent the theft of paper rolls and, on the other hand, allow a sufficient supply of toilet paper in order to avoid the obligation to refill the dispenser at relatively frequent intervals. short.
  • rollers of relatively small diameter usually used in Europe which run out relatively quickly, hence the need to be able to have at least two rollers in a toilet paper dispenser and, rollers of a much larger diameter, and in this case a single roller is sufficient for normal use of a public place.
  • the present invention aims to provide a toilet paper dispenser providing answers to the above requirements.
  • the hygienic dispenser according to the invention is characterized in that the base element and the bowl are provided with complementary means allowing their quick assembly, that the side surface of the cover is provided with a housing inside which is a latch arranged to collaborate with corresponding means of the side surface of the base element to ensure the locking of the dispenser after the assembly of the cover on the base element, that said housing and latch are provided with means allowing unlocking only by means of a key, thus preventing inadvertent or unauthorized disassembly of the cover and the base element.
  • the advantage of the dispenser according to the invention is that the loading with toilet paper can be done very quickly and the fact that it can be locked prevents the rolls of paper from being stolen.
  • the base element and the cover are provided with means to allow rapid assembly of the bayonet type.
  • the roll holder is provided with at least two pins so as to be able to put at least two rolls of paper, preferably three, on the roll holder which is in the form of a disc provided with means for be rotatably mounted inside a cylindrical housing of the base element.
  • the assembly is done quickly and easily, the cylindrical housing being provided with projections directed towards the interior of the housing, intended to prevent the exit of the roller holder, which is provided with at least one notch on its periphery of conjugate shape. to that of a projection in order to allow the assembly and disassembly of the roller holder on the base element.
  • the roll holder is indexed so that it stops when a roll of paper is facing the opening of the dispenser. This result is obtained by latching means formed respectively on the roller holder and the base element.
  • the same distributor can also be used for a single large diameter roller by removing the multiple roller holder and placing on an pivot integral with the basic element an arm on which is a spindle for receiving the large roller.
  • Figure 1 is a plan view of the base member.
  • Figure 2 is a section on II-II of Figure 1.

  • Figure 8 is a plan view of the lock.
  • Figure 9 is a side view of the device preventing rotation of the roll holder when a roll is not empty.
  • the preferred embodiment which we will describe comprises a base element 1 (fig. 1, 2) and a bowl-shaped cover 2 (fig. 3, 4) arranged so that they can be assembled quickly.
  • the basic element 1 is in the form of a circular plate and it comprises the following elements: a first circular plate 101 surmounted on its periphery by a cylindrical wall 102 having on its upper peripheral edge four projections 103 directed towards the geometric center of the room. An annular surface 104 located at the same height as the upper edge of the cylindrical surface 102 ends in a second cylindrical wall 105.
  • This cylindrical wall 105 has over approximately 3/4 of the periphery an extra thickness 106 in which a groove is formed 107 preferably of triangular section intended to receive and guide the corresponding edge of the cover 2.
  • the cylindrical wall 105 extends beyond the annular surface 104 and forms a cylindrical wall 108
  • the upper edge of the wall 108 is provided with regularly spaced L-shaped notches 109 which will be used to assemble the base element with the cover 2.
  • the wall 108 is interrupted in a zone 110 provided for locking. from the distributor.
  • the annular surface 104 also has four openings 111 provided in extra thicknesses or recesses 112 of the annular surface 104 intended for fixing the base element against a wall.
  • the annular surface 104 also has a recess 113 intended to receive a plug-in device subsequently preventing the roller holder from rotating until a roller is not completely empty.
  • the circular plate 101 has a housing 114 intended to receive a tongue 115 secured to a blade 116, the ends of which bear against two lugs 116, 117 and 118, to form in collaboration with notches of the roller holder 3 (fig. 5, 6) the latching device.
  • the plate 101 is also provided with a journal 119 intended to receive the roller holder for the use of the dispenser with a single roller of large diameter.
  • the cover 2 (fig. 3, 4) is formed by a circular plate 201 having on one part a cutout 202 corresponding to the opening of the dispenser for the exit of the toilet paper and provided with two projections 203, 204 intended to facilitate the tearing of the paper.
  • the plate 201 is provided on its inner face with reinforcing ribs 205, 206, as well as an opening 207 forming a window for visually controlling the quantity of paper available inside the dispenser.
  • the window 207 is in principle closed by a transparent cover.
  • the cylindrical wall 208 On the inner surface of the cylindrical wall 208 are arranged four pins 210 intended to collaborate with the notches 109 of the base element for a bayonet connection of the cover 2 with the base element.
  • a housing 211 On the lateral surface opposite to the part 202 serving to open the dispenser, there is a housing 211 intended to house the lock which, after assembly of the dispenser, will ensure its locking to avoid inadvertent or unauthorized opening.
  • the roller holder 3 comprises a circular plate 301 carrying three pins 302, arranged symmetrically, intended to support the rolls of toilet paper.
  • the plate 301 is provided under its periphery with a flange 303 opposite the pins 302 and provided on its periphery with a circular rib 304.
  • the diameter of the rib 304 is equal to or slightly less than the diameter of the plate 101 of the element basic.
  • the rib 304 has a notch 305 of shape complementary to that of the projections 103 of the base element 1 to allow the positioning of the roller holder 3 in the housing formed by the base plate 101 and the cylindrical wall 102 of the 'basic element 1.
  • the notch 305 is positioned opposite one of the projections 103 of the basic element and, taking advantage of the flexibility of the plate 301, it is slid under the projection 103 and the roller holder is rotated by 360 ° until the entire circular rib 304 passes under the four projections 103. From this moment on, the roller cannot come out unexpectedly.
  • we want to remove the roll holder we proceed in a similar way, that is to say, we position the notch 305 facing one of the projections 103, we let out the notch above the projection 103 and the roller holder 3 is started to rotate 360 ° until all of the rib 304 is above the projections 103.
  • the rim 303 is provided with three notches 306, regularly spaced and intended to collaborate with the tongue 115 of the base element so that the roller holder stabilizes in a position when a spindle carrying a roller comes opposite the opening from the distributor.
  • you want to rotate the roll holder simply press the spindle facing the dispenser opening clockwise, which advances the roller until it clicks into place. next, that is to say when the tongue 115 is in the next notch 306 of the roller holder.
  • an L-shaped plug-in element 6 (fig. 9) has been provided. so that the part 601 comes to be plugged into the zone 113 of the base element and the part 602 projects towards the interior of the dispenser.
  • the part 601 is dimensioned so that the roll holder cannot be turned 1/3 of a turn if a spindle 302 facing the opening of the dispenser still contains a roll with a few millimeters of paper. In this way, paper waste is avoided, the roll holder being able to be actuated only if a spindle contains practically no more paper.
  • a sliding part 4 provided with a projection 401 intended to be inserted in the zone 110 of the base element 1 after the assembly of the cover on the base element for prevent disassembly by reverse rotation of the cover 2.
  • the part 4 has on its upper part a head 402 located outside the housing 211 and serving as a limit stop during locking.
  • the device is provided with a blocking system consisting of the following elements: on the surface of the lock 4 are provided three rectangular holes 403 intended to receive in the locked position three projections of corresponding shape and dimensions located at the end of the three elastic tabs integral with a wall of the housing 211 or of an attached part forming with the external wall 211a of the housing 211 drawer in which slides the lock 4.
  • the locked position of the lock 4 that is to say when the head 402 bears against the housing 211, the three heads of the elastic tabs come into the three holes 403 preventing the lock 4 from sliding outside the housing 211 even if the head 402 is pulled hard.
  • a key To be able to unlock, a key must be available in the form of a plate provided with e three spaced teeth corresponding to the three holes 403.
  • the lateral surface 211a of the housing 211 has a rectangular window giving access to the three housings 403 both in the locked position of the lock 4 and in the open position thus allowing when the lock is blocked to introduce through this window the opening key to push the heads of the three tabs towards the inside of the dispenser and at the same time pull on the head 402 to obtain the unlocking and allow the cover 2 to be removed by turning it in the reverse direction of assembly to disengage the pins 210 from the notches 109 and be able to remove the cover.
  • the dispenser for some reason must at some point be used with rollers of large diameters, i.e. use the dispenser with a single roll instead of three rollers as described above, remove the holder -rolls 3 as explained above and there is a part 5 comprising a pin 501 mounted at the end of an axis 502 provided with a cylindrical housing 503 intended to be fixed in the pin 119 of the part of the element base by a fixing device, for example a pin snap into the pin 119 or any other conventional means. In this way the spindle 501 comes approximately to the center of the plate 101 and the large diameter roller can be arranged.
  • the articulation of the housing 503 on the pin 119 is made so that the part 502 can rotate around the pin 119 thus pulling on the roller, the part 102 and in particular the spindle 501 tilts on the side where the paper is unwound and the roller will come to bear against the cylindrical surface 102 which will thus act as a brake on the large roller.
