Definitions

• the invention relates to the technical sector of dispensing devices for wiping paper of the paper towel, toilet paper, paper towel and similar type of automatic or semi-automatic.
• the aim sought after according to the invention was therefore to design a device which is very simple for the operator, which can be manipulated, after easy viewing of the automatic or semi-automatic operating modes.
• Another goal sought was to design a device with a minimum of parts and components of the device.
• the device for dispensing wiping material in automatic or semi-automatic operation the device being of the type comprising a casing receiving an articulated cover, said casing having walls or lateral flanges between which is positioned a drum associated with a cutting device, an eccentric lever being mounted at one end on the axis of the drum receiving an elastic return means allowing it to be launched, said drum being arranged on its face opposite to that receiving eccentric 0 with a operating button arranged axially, is remarkable in that it comprises a device for selecting the operating mode of the device in automatic or semi-automatic version, said device comprising a first member forming a double lever
• Figure 1 is a side view of the device in its automatic operating mode and highlighting the various components of the selector device.
• Figure 2 is a partial front view established according to Figure 1 showing the position of the selection device in automatic distribution version.
• Figure 3 is a view similar to Figure 1 in profile of the device, in its semi-automatic version.
• Figure 4 is a view similar to Figure 2 according to arrow B of Figure 3, in the semi-automatic version.
• Figure 5 is a partial view on a large scale and before mounting of the selection device according to the invention.
• Figure 6 is a partial plan view according to a rear view of a first member of the selector device.
• Figure 7 is a partial plan view according to a rear view of a second member of the selector device.
• Figure 8 is a view of the paper distribution in the version semi-automatic due to the single manual control by the paper output operator.
• Figure 9 is a large-scale view of the opposite part of the dispensing device highlighting the means allowing the exit of the paper strip after action on the operating lever in semi-automatic selection.
• Figure 1 0 is a partial view on a large scale showing the drum of the dispensing device arranged with means participating in the operation of the device.
• the wiping paper dispenser is referenced as a whole by (1). It allows automatic or semi-automatic distribution of strips of paper for hand towel, paper towel, toilet paper. These strips can be presented flat unfolded or folded, according to techniques and means described in numerous patents developed by the Applicant.
• the apparatus comprises a casing (2) made of any material, on which is articulated by the front a cover (3).
• the casing has side walls or is arranged with flanges capable of receiving and allowing the transverse positioning of a drum (4) associated with an integrated cutting device (5).
• This drum, with cutting device is described in particular in French patent N. 2,332.21 5. It uses in particular on one of the transverse sides of the apparatus, to ensure the rotation and the launching of the drum, a eccentric lever (6) mounted on the axis of the drum capable of receiving an elastic return means (7) allowing it to be launched in order to ensure rapid and clean cutting of the paper.
• a pressing element (8) bearing on the drum the strip of paper being introduced between its two components coming from a reel or roll of material (R ) arranged between the upper flanges of the casing.
• the roller and the pressing element are held in any suitable manner on the abovementioned flanges by snap-fastening for example.
• the drum is arranged, on its face opposite to that receiving the eccentric, with an operating button (9) arranged axially and allowing the engagement of the operation of the initial part of the strip.
• the device for selecting the operating mode of the device in automatic or semi-automatic version comprises a first member (10) forming a double lever with opposite branches (10a - 10b) having, in its middle part (10c), an opening (1 Od) or hole capable of engaging on a fixed point of the tenon type (1 1) of complementary shape disposed at the front end of the flange facing the casing.
• This double lever comprises a first profiled branch (10a) oriented towards the outside of the device and forming a support plane (10e) for positioning the thumb of the user.
• an indication or marking is written on the abovementioned support plan with in the example shown the mention "PUSH”.
• the other branch (10b) of this double lever is arranged, at its end, with a form of double bent hook (l Of), the end (10g) of which is curved to engage a recess (4a) cylindrical formed on the end flange (4b) opposite the drum.
• This double lever is pivotally mounted on its pin axis.
• the selector device comprises a second component defined by a lever (1 2) which is positioned and centered relative to the axis of articulation (1 1) of the double lever.
• said lever has a side (1 2a) arranged with an oblong opening (1 2b) capable of allowing its engagement and its passage around a projecting axis (13) established in overflow on the post (1 1) .
• Said lever has on its side a finger (14) allowing the fixing of a return means (1 5) of the spring type, a first end (1 5a) is fixed on the finger and the other end (1 5b) is fixed on a point of projection (1 6) formed on the flange of the housing.
• the lever also has a tab (1 2c) of profile almost identical to the support surface of the double lever (10), so that said tab is capable of coming to be superimposed on the support plane.
• On the tab is written on its underside, for example the mention "STOP”, and on its top face, for example the representation of an arrow.
• the drum (4) is arranged with a circular internal recess (4a) on the side of the operating button and facing the double lever.
• a projection (18) forming a non-return stop in the context of automatic operation of the dispensing device.
• a profiled cam (19) having a beak shape (1 9a) constituting a non-return stop in the context of the semi-automatic operation of the device.
• the dispensing device is automatic.
• the handle (12) is positioned superimposed on the leg portion of the double lever. It is held in position, as is the double lever, thanks to the return effect of the elastic means (1 5) directly associated with the lever.
• the hook part of the double lever is moved towards the front of the device, so as to follow the external internal profile of the cylindrical cavity of the drum.
• the non-return stop prevents the drum from rotating in the opposite direction.
• the eccentric lever and its return spring disposed on the other side of the drum operates normally and after distribution of a section of paper strip, the spring associated with the eccentric lever for launching the drum returns to its initial position. of relaxation.
• the spring (1 5) associated with the handle (1 2) ensures by a relaxing effect the locking and locking in position of the handle and the double lever.
• the selector device is therefore very simple and does not require any particular mechanical means. Its handling by an operator is easy. It is made easier by the mention of a few visual indications that are easy to remember.
• the assembly of the device is quick and the shape of the parts simple to produce.
