Definitions

  • the invention relates to a dispenser for paper or other flexible sheet-shaped products such as nonwoven or dry formed products comprising a removable cassette.
  • the invention relates more particularly to a paper dispenser comprising a housing in which the paper is stored, in the form of folded sheets, for distribution through a dispensing orifice
  • the same type of product can come in different sizes or can be produced with papers of different kinds, and in particular of different thicknesses, depending on where the dispenser is to be placed and also depending on the habits of intended users
  • the orifice through which the paper is distributed is also adapted to the format of the sheets of paper, to the manner in which they are folded and to the nature of the paper itself
  • the invention provides a dispenser of the type described above, characterized in that the paper is contained in a cassette which is attached to the housing, in that the cassette has a bottom wall, arranged opposite an opening in the housing, and in which is arranged the dispensing orifice which is of a shape adapted to the sheets of paper to be dispensed, and in that the cassette comprises folded sheet stack guide walls According to other features of the invention.
  • the cassette is open upwards to allow paper feeding
  • the housing has a cover which is removable to allow the introduction of the cassette inside the housing;
  • the cassette is made at least in part from molded plastic
  • the cassette is made from a single piece of molded plastic
  • the cassette is integrated into a packaging of a stack of sheets of paper
  • the cassette is made at least partly of cardboard
  • the invention also provides a cassette for a dispenser of folded sheets of paper, characterized in that the cassette is intended to be brought back into a dispenser having any of the preceding characteristics
  • FIGS. 1 and 2 are exterior views, respectively from the side and from the front, of a wall-mounted dispenser of sheets of paper in accordance with the teachings of the invention
  • FIG. 3 is a perspective view, on a larger scale, of a cassette according to the invention.
  • FIG. 4 is a partial view in section through a vertical front plane illustrating the arrangement of the cassette in the housing
  • FIGS. 5 to 8 are views in partial section through a vertical side plane illustrating different stages of the positioning of the cassette in the housing.
  • FIG. 9 is a view of an enlarged detail of Figure 8 showing the means for fixing the cassette in the housing
  • a paper dispenser 10 essentially comprising a housing 12 intended to be fixed by a flat vertical rear face 14 against a vertical wall section
  • the housing 12 has a cover 16 which covers it almost entirely and which, when it is removed or opened, gives access to inside the housing 12
  • the cover 1 8 has a window 17 which makes it possible to constantly check the filling of the distributor 10
  • the sheets of paper F are folded and stacked so that, when the user takes hold of a sheet, the following sheet appears at the opening 18, slightly unfolded at the outside the housing 12, to be easily gripped by the user
  • the invention provides a dispenser body 10 in which the box 12 is intended to receive a cassette 22, attached to the inside of the box 12, and specially adapted to the sheets of paper F to be dispensed
  • the two side walls 24 are spaced from each other by a distance corresponding to the size of the sheets of paper F in this direction.
  • the cassette 22 is received in a lower portion of the housing 12, pressing against the bottom bottom wall 20 of the housing 1 2
  • the cassette 22 also has a bottom bottom wall 26 on which the sheets of paper F rest and which comprises a distribution slot 28, intended to be arranged opposite the opening 1 8 of the bottom wall 20 of the housing 12
  • the distribution slot 28, substantially rectangular, is of size adapted to the format of the sheets and it also comprises of rounded edges to prevent the paper from being torn during dispensing.
  • the vertical lateral walls 24 of the cassette 22 have an upper flared portion 30 forming a funnel so as to facilitate reloading the cassette with a new stack of sheets of paper F.
  • the cassette 22 is practically devoid of the front face. This absence does not penalize guiding the fact that the bottom bottom wall 26 of the cassette 22, on which the sheets of paper rest, is tilted slightly backwards so that the stack of paper to be dispensed tends to be pressed against the internal face of the rear wall 25 of the cassette 22. This arrangement further facilitates the placement of the stack.
  • the cassette 22 according to the invention is inserted and held inside the housing by a simple elastic interlocking.
  • the bottom wall 26 of the cassette 22 has, on its external face 32, a boss 34, the shape of which is complementary to that of the opening 18 of the bottom wall 20 of the housing 12 in which the boss 34 is received to center the cassette 22.
  • the distribution slot 28 of the cassette 22 is formed in the boss 34 so as to open out to the distributor 10.
  • the rear wall 26 of the cassette 22 has, on its lower edge 36, a spout 38 which extends substantially vertically downwards, below the bottom bottom wall 26, and which is intended to be received in a light 40 of the housing 1 2.
  • the upper edge 42 of the rear wall 25 includes a lug 44 which is intended to cooperate with a complementary edge 46 of the rear wall 14 of the housing 12 to hold the cassette 22 by elastic fitting when it is in place in the distributor 12, its bottom bottom wall 26 pressing against that 20 of the housing 12.
  • the placing of the cassette 22 in the dispenser 12 is easily carried out by inserting the cassette 22 vertically from top to bottom inside the housing 12 from which we have previously removed the cover 16.
  • the cassette 22 has, at the front of its bottom bottom wall 26, an edge 48 which is brought to bear against the internal face of the bottom wall 20 of the housing 12 and around which it then suffices to tilt cassette 12 backwards.
  • the boss 34 and the rear spout 38 then come naturally opposite the opening 18 and the light 40 of the housing 12 and, while continuing the tilting movement, the lug 44 of the upper edge 42 of the rear wall 25 of the cassette 22 is automatically locked under the lower edge 46 of the rear face 14 of the housing 12.
  • the cassette 22 which is shown in the figures is intended to distribute sheets of relatively large format paper, substantially the maximum format which can be accepted by the box 12.
  • the external shape of the cassette 22 is exactly adapted to that of the housing 12 so that, once in place inside the housing 12, it is held there rigidly and reliably without it it is necessary to use additional support devices.
  • the cassette 22 which is shown in the figures is made of molded plastic and is intended to be recharged. In fact, once the dispenser has been installed in a particular place, it may be desired to distribute only one type of sheet of paper, so that the cassette 22 can be permanently installed in the housing 12. In this case, we may for example provide that the cassette 22 is irremovable without removing the distributor 10 from the wall on which it is fixed.
  • the cassette 22 is made in one piece so that the dispenser 10 according to the invention has a very small number of pieces and can therefore be produced in a simple manner and at low cost.
  • cassette 22 in a "disposable" form which is an integral part of the packaging of the products to be distributed.
  • the cassette 22 can then form only a lower part of the packaging of a stack of sheets F, the packaging then being able to appear in the form of a cardboard box or in the form of a plastic film fixed to the cassette and surrounding the stack of sheets F.
  • Such a device is particularly advantageous in that it guarantees that the positioning of the stack of papers, thus produced in the factory by the manufacturer, is done optimally with respect to the distribution slot and with respect to the guide walls of the battery.
