Definitions

  • the invention relates to a dispenser for paper from a donor roller located in a dispensing position, with two gap defining conveyor rollers for the paper web and with a movable sensing element for detecting the paper end.
  • the impending consumption of the paper can be indicated with the aid of the scanning element.
  • the sensing element lies loosely on the paper web between the donor roll and the feed rolls, or is pressed against it by means of a spring.
  • the paper web is wound, for example, on a cardboard sleeve or a support rod, wherein the end may be fixed to the sleeve or the support rod, for example by gluing, but optionally also loosely wound.
  • the paper end may be loose if the gluing was imprecise or poorly executed.
  • the invention therefore also relates to a dispenser for paper from a dispensing roll located in a dispensing position, which passes through a gap between two
  • Conveyor rollers is feasible, with a receptacle for a spare roll, with a movable holder, the paper beginning of the reserve roll can be assigned, and with a movable sensing element for the paper end of the donor roll, the
  • Paper paths of the donor roll separated from those of the reserve roll and only just before the gap of the two conveyor rollers into each other, because after Abusing the donor role an automated further paper delivery should be made.
  • the scanning element is therefore associated with the paper path of the donor roll.
  • the invention has now taken on the task of avoiding premature end-of-paper displays in such paper dispensers and achieves this by the scanning element is arranged in the paper conveying direction after the gap between the two conveyor rollers.
  • the arrangement of the sensing element after the gap the tension in the paper web is maintained despite a loose winding end, since it can not slip between the conveyor rollers.
  • the paper end detection is therefore carried out immediately after the promotion of the paper web through the two conveyor rollers. A false trip is practically impossible.
  • the dispenser has a reserve roll whose paper start threading into the gap upon detection of the paper end, then the space between the reserve roll and the donor roll is also free by the arrangement of the scanning element after the gap and the transfer of the role is not hindered.
  • the scanning element is located at a position where it can continue to scan the paper web of the donor roll, but it does not have to be moved to change the reserve role, because it is no longer in the way of the changing reserve roll.
  • the two conveyor rollers are arranged substantially one above the other and the lower conveyor roller has a substantially larger diameter than the upper conveyor roller and a peripheral groove. Since the lower conveyor roller projects beyond the upper roller in width, this makes it possible to scan through the scanning element the paper web of the dispensing roller directly next to the smaller conveyor roller, and upon detection of the paper end, it falls under the influence of gravity into the peripheral groove.
  • a return element is also provided for this purpose, which returns the scanning element, after it has detected the paper end, to the starting position.
  • the paper path is opened again after the gap after paper end detection, so that the taken-over paper web of the reserve roll can be conveyed easily. At any set time can then fall without manual help, the reserve roll down into the dispensing position or slip, from which then their paper web is further deducted.
  • the provision of the scanning element is effected by the applied to the gap holder for the beginning of the paper by first the
  • Sensing element in the approach of the holder can be brought and then displaced from the approaching to the gap holder under provision of the sensing element again from the approach path. This results in a kind of kinematic cycle, the scanning moves at paper end detection and releases the holder, which threads the paper and on the way to the gap
  • the scanning element can pivot about an axis, and the restoring element can be articulated eccentrically on the scanning element.
  • the sensing element is pivotable about an axis and the restoring element is formed by a protruding lever on the sensing element, which cooperates with two stops provided on the holder.
  • the provision of the scanning element can be provided by the approach to the gap approaching holder for the beginning of paper reserve roll even when the sensing element is provided at a different location on the way the paper web of the donor roll.
  • 1 is a vertical section through essential parts of the invention of a paper dispenser with a donor role
  • FIG. 2 is an enlarged view of FIG. 1 after paper shortage detection
  • Fig. 3 is a side view of a paper dispenser with removed
  • FIG. 4 shows a vertical section through the central region of the dispenser of FIG. 3, FIG.
  • a paper dispenser according to FIGS. 1 and 2 has a housing, in the lower region of which a receiving space for a dispensing roll 10 and in particular a knife assembly comprising conveying roller pair 4, 5 are arranged, which is manually controlled by pulling on the paper, by an external crank or preferably sensor-controlled can be driven by an electric motor.
  • the conveyor roller pair has a smaller in the illustrated embodiment conveyor roller 4, over which the paper web 25 of the dispensing roll 10 is guided in the gap 6 with the second larger and below the conveyor roller 4 mounted conveying roller 5, which may contain the knife assembly.
  • the second conveyor roller 5 has a circumferential groove 7, which is associated with a scanning element 11 which is mounted about an axis 9 pivotally in the conveying direction F for the gap 6.
  • the sensing element 11 may be provided with an upwardly inclined, only schematically indicated in Fig. 2 tab 8, via which the provision of the sensing element 11 can be carried out in the position shown in Fig. 1.
  • a paper dispenser according to FIGS. 3 to 9 has a housing 1, which is provided with a swiveling, not shown, lining. Again, a receiving space for a dispensing roll 10 and a particular knife assembly comprising a pair of conveyor rollers are arranged in the lower part of the dispenser, which is manually driven by train on paper, by an external crank or preferably sensor-controlled by an electric motor.
  • the second conveyor roller 5 has a circumferential groove 7, which is associated with a scanning element 11 which is mounted pivotably about an axis 9 in the conveying direction after the gap 6.
  • the sensing element 11 is provided with an upwardly projecting control flap 8, by means of which the movement of the sensing element 11 is transmitted upon entering the circumferential groove 7.
  • the paper beginning 24 of the reserve roll 13 is determined after inserting the role in an upper receiving space on thorns 16 of a holder 14 which is formed by a pivotable about an axis 17 bracket, and a pivotable about an axis 19 locking lever 18 at a distance from the gap 6 between the conveyor rollers 4, 5 is held.
  • the front end of the locking lever 18 is located on a projection 22 (Fig. 7, 8) of a side part of the holder 14 and the rear end with a slope 21st (Fig. 7, 8) on the control lug 8 of the sensing element 11.
  • the side part of the holder 14 also carries a nose 20 which, when approaching the gap 6, strikes the spring-loaded return element 12 in the form of a slider, the other end of which is articulated on the control lug 8 of the scanning element 11.
  • the paper web 25 is guided by the donor roller 10 via the feed roller 4 through the gap 6 and the conveying roller 5, wherein after Gap 6, the scanning element 11 rests on the paper web 25. If the paper is over, the sensing element 11 falls under the action of gravity and supported by the return element 12 associated spring 23 in the circumferential groove 7 of the conveyor roller 5 (Fig. 5).
  • the upstanding control flap 8 pivots forward (left in the drawing) pushes the return element 12 with the support of the spring 23 to the front and pushes the rear end of the two-armed latching lever 18 high, the front end of the projection 22 on the side part of the holder 14 slips off.
  • the holder 14 can therefore pivot by gravity and supported by the tension spring shown about the axis 17, so that the wedge-shaped threading of the cross bar 15 of the holder 14 with the attached paper beginning of the reserve roll 13 at the gap 6 approaches.
  • the nose 20 hits the advanced return element 12 and pushes it back into the starting position (FIGS. 6, 8). Since the return element 12 is hinged to the control plate 8, this pivots to the rear (right in the drawing) and lifts the sensing element 11 from the circumferential groove 7 of the conveyor roller 5.
  • the paper top 24th taken from the particular at least partially a rubber coating having surface of the two conveyor rollers, released from the mandrels 16 and fed into the gap. Thanks to the provision of the sensing element 11, the further path for the paper web 24 is free. 8 and 9 show these positions in side view and in cross section.
  • Fig. 5 shows the area P in which the Paper web shifted from 24 to 25.
  • the automatic change can be done, for example, by a diameter scan of the reserve roll 13 in the upper position, which then slips or falls with a correspondingly reduced diameter in the guideway 2 down.
  • Fig. 10 to 12 show essential parts of a third embodiment of the dispenser 1. Shown are the two the gap 6 delimiting conveyor rollers 4, 5, of which the larger conveyor roller includes a knife device which cuts the paper web into sections.
  • the scanning element 11 is rotatably mounted about the axis 9 and falls at the end of the paper web, not shown in FIGS. 10 to 12 in the circumferential groove 7 of the feed roller. Also in this embodiment, the paper web is scanned in the paper conveying direction F after the gap 6.
  • the holder 14 for the beginning of the paper web of the reserve roll is bow-shaped as described. At least one side part 23 of the holder 14 are two
  • the holder 14 is thereby released (FIG. 11) and pivots down about the axis 17, wherein shortly after the triggering of the second stop 28 strikes the return element 12, so that this swung back before completion of the pivoting movement of the holder 14 and thereby the scanning element 11th is raised again from the circumferential groove 7 (Fig. 12).
  • the way for the threaded from the holder 14 paper web of reserve roll is thereby free again.
  • the holder 14 When inserting a new reserve roll, the holder 14 is pivoted from the position of FIG. 12 again, so that the end of the return element 12 comes to rest under the stop 29 again.
  • the free end of the return element 12 is perpendicular to the plane of the spring, so that it can escape the stop 29 in the return pivoting movement.
