Device for picking up and dispensing fqlien_

The invention relates to a device for recording and Dispensing of rolled up foils, which have a container for receiving and pulling out the foil, wherein there is a tear-off edge for tearing off the film on the front of the container.

Such devices are used both in the private and in the industrial sector to rolled up To store and use foils clearly and easily manageable - Find the rolled up foils for example in private households for packing food or in commercial kitchens for covering of food use. Aluminum foils or thin plastic foils are used as foil materials to use. The last-mentioned plastic films can rolled up in one layer or rolled up one or more times

• folds with the formation of bags lined up in a row be formed ruie "junction between the Foil bags lined up in a row can also be transverse to make it easier to separate the individual bags from one another Have perforation, along which a bag can be torn from the roll.

A device of the type mentioned for picking up and dispensing aluminum foils has, for example a container that is folded from a cardboard and with a folding lid and a toothed tear-off edge is provided '. However, such a device is neither very dimensionally stable nor suitable for being attached to a wall to be attached.

The present invention is therefore based on the object of providing a device of the type mentioned at the beginning to create that is very dimensionally stable, simply constructed and very easy to use.

This object is achieved according to the invention in that the device has a wall bracket and a swivel compartment, the wall bracket with an elongated Back part and two cheeks which laterally close off the back part and protrude from the back part is, and the swivel compartment for receiving at least one film roll is trough-shaped and with both of its opposite side walls between the cheeks of the wall bracket is pivotally mounted.

This design of the device according to the invention with a wall bracket and with a swivel compartment, it is advantageously possible to use a wall bracket to be combined with different swivel compartments depending on the film to be picked up or dispensed and

* —Mn 7 ¹ 'frnTifliihii ^ li jf

Swivel the swivel compartment out of the wall bracket -heajauszusehwenken in a few simple steps to into the swivel compartment to be able to insert a new roll of film. The film can be an aluminum film known per se, a Plastic cling film, simply folded up Fresh-keeping bag made from a plastic film, a garbage bag folded up several times from a Plastic film or the like. Be.

The wall bracket can be made with a lower area be provided a back part protruding abutment web that connects the two cheeks and on which the swivel compartment rests with its bottom in the normal operating position of the device, while the Swivel compartment with the upper edge of its back surface on at least one resilient part of the back of the wall bracket outstanding approach. On the one hand, this abutment web mechanically connects the two cheeks very stable with each other, so that the device is very torsion-resistant, and on the other hand results from the support of the bottom of the swivel compartment on this Wi derlagersteg and by the simultaneous application of the upper edge of the back surface of the swivel compartment to the resilient approach protruding from the back of the wall bracket, a good locking of the swivel compartment in the wall bracket, which, however, can be solved by a simple operation to move the swivel compartment relative to the wall bracket to pan. Such a pivoting of the pivoting compartment is always carried out when in the pivoting compartment a new roll of film is to be inserted.

In the mutually facing inner surfaces of the cheeks of the wall bracket, there can be recesses that are aligned with one another be provided in which from the side walls of the swivel compartment projecting in opposite directions, with

aligned lugs are inserted. To this This results in a simple storage of the swivel compartment in the wall bracket. As a result of the fact that the two cheeks of the wall bracket are relatively far apart j. and the wall bracket and the swivel compartment The pivoting compartment can preferably consist of injection-molded plastic, which has a certain elasticity simply wedged between the two cheeks until the lugs of the swivel compartment are in alignment snap into the recesses in the cheeks of the wall bracket. By slightly bending the two cheeks apart the swiveling compartment can also be removed from the wall bracket and, if necessary, by another swiveling compartment be replaced.

It has proven to be advantageous that the recesses are provided in the area of the front lower corner of the cheeks are and have a lower edge with a slot in which the approach having a rectangular cross-section is locked in the normal operating position of the swivel shelf. Through this design of the invention The device can open the swivel compartment simply by gently pressing against its front upper edge its normal locking in der.Wallhalterung can be solved because with such a pressure every approach the slot of its recess is moved out so that • the two approaches of the swivel compartment are in their recesses can turn. "

A device can be provided on the end face of the swivel compartment, the at least one upwardly protruding device Has tear-off edge. For this purpose, recesses are provided in the end face of the swivel compartment, in which snap-in known snap-lock members that

are formed on the device, which has at least one tear-off edge. This tear-off edge can be a tear-off edge, known per se, running in a straight line with teeth. Such a tear-off edge is used in particular for aluminum foils or for non-pre- perforated plastic foils . The tear-off edge can, however, also be a tear-off edge converging to a point on two sides, which is preferably used in connection with pre-perforated foils. In particular in the case of single or multiple folded-up plastic films for fresh-keeping bags or for garbage bags, the perforation is advantageously slotted in the middle area between the bags connected to one another and on the roll. The tip of the tear-off edge can engage in this slot when such a film is pulled out of the device according to the invention. In this way, a folded film can be torn off along its perforation very easily.

Folding the film also has the particular advantage that film rolls can be stored next to one another in one device, so that for picking up and Sr> end of rolled up foils results in only a relatively small space requirement.

The device having at least one tear-off edge can extend forward from the end face of the pivoting compartment and extend across the width of the end face of the pivot compartment and the device can between that of their The front edge of the tear-off edge and the front side of the swivel compartment each have at least a thumb's width on the side Have indentation. This indentation has the advantage that the protruding with its front end from the device Take the film very easily and pull it further out of the device and tear it off along the tear-off edge.

COPV

can be torn, with the film remaining in the device again forming the indentation up to the tear-off, over the edge, so that the film can be grasped and torn off again and again very easily can.

The tub-shaped swivel compartment can laterally in its interior Have bearing elements for storing a roll of film. The film roll has an overall expansion which corresponds to the extension of the swivel compartment. By means of these bearing elements, the film roll is stored in the pivoting compartment in such a way that the film roll is pulled out of a piece of film from the device is not tilted and the film is pulled out precisely guided at any time and can be demolished. The two bearing elements can advantageously also be attached to different ones Transverse expansions of film rolls can be adapted, so that the device according to the invention for different film rolls is equally well suited.

The trough-shaped drawer can have at least one partition in its interior for dividing the Pivoting compartment and storage of at least two film rolls. This embodiment of the device according to the invention is particularly advantageous for food storage bags that are simply folded together or for multiple items used folded garbage bags. In this embodiment corresponds to the number of subdivisions of the swivel compartment the number of tips or noses of the Tear-off edges. These tips or noses, which are arranged centrally in relation to the subdivisions, engage with the central ones Slits in the perforation of the folded foils, which results in an abutment for the foils and the films can be separated along the perforation.

On the top of the wall bracket, a lid can be pivoted between the two side panels be that covers the tub-shaped swivel compartment. This The cover is used to close the device according to the invention and thus to protect the device in the device stored film against dust and dirt. However, the cover can also do this in a particularly advantageous manner serve, the protruding from the device film on the device having at least one tear-off edge to press down and in this way to form an abutment when the film is to be torn off. To this The purpose can be that the bottom of the front edge of the lid, facing towards the film, has a rougher surface and thus have a greater friction in order to clamp the film securely between the cover and the device.

The front of the swivel compartment can be on its top have a region inclined into the interior of the swivel compartment and its back surface can incline towards this Area to be formed at least approximately parallel. The area of the inclined into the interior of the swivel compartment Front side is used in an advantageous manner both in the normal closed position of the swivel compartment as well as in the opened position of the swivel compartment as an abutment for the film roll, so that it cannot fall out of the swivel compartment even if the swivel compartment is opened.

In a preferred embodiment of the invention has the back part of the wall bracket has at least one recess for engaging a connecting element with the two back parts can be connected over and with one another. The connecting elements can have snap-lock links be provided so that it is always very easy to connect wall brackets to each other. To this Way can orfindunqsqemäßo directly one another

Devices for example for an aluminum foil, for a plastic film, for cling bags and for garbage bags can be assembled, so that with small Space required a very clear storage and easy removal of the various foils is possible.
