Definitions
- This invention relates to roll paper dispensers, espe- I cially such dispensers as employed in the dispensing of paper toweling. Moreover, the invention is particularly concerned with roll paper dispensers having at least two paper roll stations, for accommodating primary and reserve paper rolls and in which provision ismade for, automatic transfer of the paper feed from the primary roll and then from the reserve roll at or close to the point of exhaustion of the paper web of the primary. roll. After the feed has been transferred to the reserve roll, the loading or refilling operation involves a shifting in position of the reserve roll to the station previously occupied by the primary roll and a new reserve roll is then inserted in the reserve station.
- the dispenser automatically transfers from the primary to the reserve roll under the influence of termination of tension' in the web of paper running from the primary roll to the feed and dispensing mechanism, so that the transfer will occur when the primary is exhausted or when the web of the primary roll is broken. It is an objective of the invention to provide for the shifting of the position of the reserve roll to the primary roll station,
- an element is employed for moving I the reserve web into the feed mechanism which includes a laterally movable element capable of positional self-adjustment, such that the reserve paper web is brought accurately into the feed nip formed by the feed rollers.
- This improvement provides maximum reliability in the transfer of function.
- a novel means for mounting the primary roll is provided which maintains the tension in the web extended from the primary roll, thereby insuring the feed of the web from the primary roll until exhaustion. Again, the transfer mechanism will feed the web of the reserve roll if the web of the primary roll is accidently broken.
- FIG. 1 illustrates a preferred form of the dispenser in vertical section, this view being taken as indicated by the section line l-1 of FIG. 2.
- FIG. 2 is a horizontal sectional view taken as indicated by the section line 2-2 to FIG. 1.
- FIG. 3 is a view similar to FIG. 1 but illustrating the condition where only a small amount of the roll remains.
- FIG. 4 is a similar view but showing the shift in position of the upper roll to the lower or primary roll station.
- FIG. 5 is a similar view but further illustrating the in-.
- FIG. 6 is a view similar to FIG. 5 but illustrating the condition after exhaustion of the paper on the lower roll and transfer of the feed to the roll in the upper station.
- FIG. 7 illustrates another embodiment of the towel dispenser of this invention in vertical section.
- FIG. 8 is a horizontal sectional view of the elements of the dispenser shown in FIG. 7, in the direction of view arrows 88 in FIG. 7.
- FIG. 9 is a vertical section view, similar-to FIG. 7, il-' lustrating a condition in the dispenser when the primary roll is nearing exhaustion and has been moved to the lower or primary roll station, with a new reserve roll placed in the reserve roll station.
- FIG. 10 is an isometric view of the portion of the transfer mechanism shown'in FIGS. 8 and 9, and
- FIG. 11 is an isometric view of the mounting bracket for the primary roll in the primary station.
- the dispenser is provided with a back wall 7, which is usually fastened to a support, side walls 8,8, and a cover comprising a front wall 9 and a top wall 10; the cover being pivoted in the remaining cabinet structure by means of pivots 11,11 so that the cover may be swung upwardly and thus fully expose the interior of the cabinet.
- the cabinet is provided with stations for accommodating primary and reserve paper rolls, it being understood that these terms primary and reserve are used to refer respectively to the roll which is respectively supplying the paper toweling and to the roll which is in reserve for subsequent dispensing of the paper toweling.
- the station for the primary roll is provided in the cabinet by a cabinet wall 12 inclined upwardly and forwardly from the lower edge of the back wall of the cabinet. This forms a pocket in the back rear corner of the cabinet for accommodating the primary roll, for instance, the roll indicated at P in FIGS. 4 and 5.
- the lateral position of the primary roll in the primary roll station may be established by angle brackets having lower portions 13 overlying and secured to the inclined wall 12 and further having upright portions 14 positioned just beyond the ends of the primary roll.
- the reserve paper roll station is established by a pair of bent wire elements 15,15 one end of each of which is fastened as at 16 to the inner surface of the back wall 7, these wire supports having inwardly bent portions 17 adapted to be inserted into ends of the core C.
- a roll such as the paper supply roll indicated at S in FIG. 1 may readily be mounted in the reserve paper station or removed therefrom merely by outwardly flexing the wire supports 15.
- the channels or throat through which the paper is delivered from the cabinet is indicated at 18, being formed between a forward, upward bent edge 12a of the inclined wall 12 and the transverse strip or bracket 19 provided to support the paper feed mechanism.
- the paper feed mechanism includes the drive roller 20 and the pressure roller 21, the latter preferably having rubber rings or friction material thereon cooperating with the drive roller 20 in the feed of the paper in a manner which is well understood in this art.
- the drive roller 20 is provided with an operating handle 22 extended through the adjacent side wall of the cabinet to a position for convenient access (see FIG. 2).
- a supply roll of paper S is shown as mounted by the spring supports with its web 23 extended from the roll around the forward portion of the pressure roller 21 into and through the nip between the rollers 20 and 21 and thence downwardly through the dispensing throat 18.
- FIG. 1 only a single roll is shown and this may be considered as representing an initial loading condition of the cabinet; the roll S occupying the reserve roll station.
- this roll which may be considered as the primary roll, is then moved to the primary roll station, in which the roll is illustrated in FIG. 4. For the purpose of accomplishing this shift of this roll P from the position illustrated in FIG.
- the friction or pressure foot 24 is pivoted upwardly about the pivot 25.
- the friction device 24 is shown in lowered position in FIGS. 1 and 4 but in the upwardly pivoted position in FIG. 3.
- a pair of springs 26,26 serves to urge the friction device 24 downwardly when it has been pivoted in the downward direction and serves also to retain the device 24 in its upwardly pivoted position as shown in FIG. 3, because of the over center relationship of the spring to the axis of the pivots 25.
- This device is mounted by means of a pair of double ended arms 28 which are pivoted at 29,29 on. the brackets 30,30 projecting upwardly from the support 19.
- the double ended arms 28 also carry the transfer roller 31, the purpose and functions of which will be described below.
- an attendant may also introduce a reserve roll of paper indicated at R in FIG. 5.
- This roll is mounted in the reserve paper station provided by the spring supports 15, and the leading end of the web 32 is drawn downwardly and introduced between the transfer roll 31 and the pair of feed rollers 20 and 21 as is illustrated. 1
- the cabinet for the dispenser includes a back wall 106, side walls 107,107 and top and bottom walls 108 and 109, respectively.
- a displaceable lid or closure 110 is pivotally connected with the remainder of the cabinet by pivots indicated at 111. The lid is thus capable of being opened by swinging the lid outwardly and downwardly to expose the interior of the cabinet in order to provide for shifting of the re-.
- the toweling is delivered from the cabinet through a dispensing opening pro vided in the lower forward corner of the cabinet, be-
- Rolls of toweling for example paper toweling, commonly have a central core by means of which the roll may be mounted.
- a pair of spring arms 113 are mounted on the back wall 106 and extend forwardly to carry; roll mounting elements 114 which are configured to be received in the ends of the roll core and provide a mounting axis for a roll of paper or the like in the upper portion of the cabinet.
- This mounting establishes the] station for the re.- serve roll of paper, asdescribed above.
- FIG.. 7 only single roll S of paper is illustrated, with the web W thereof extending downwardly to and through the feed' mechanism described below.
- the feed mechanism comprises a pair of feed rollers 115 and 116, similar to the feed rollers 20 and 21 in FIGS. 1 to 6.
- Feed roller 116 is provided with a shaft having an operating crank or handle 117 projecting of one side of the cabinet (see FIG. 8) providing for manual activation of the feed rollers ifiTh'e roller 116 is therefore the driven roller and advantageously the roller 115 comprises a pressure rolle,r,. preferably having rubber rings or friction material, as described above, cooperating with the drive roller 116 in the feed of toweling in the manner as described above and understood in this art.
- the paper web from the roll S first passes in front of the roller 119 and then downwardly to a pair of feed rollers 115 and 116.
- the rod 120 includes arms 121, 12 l which are pivotally mounted a122, 122.
- the rods are further extended beyond the pivot points, as indicated at 123, 123 in FIG. 4, in order to mount the shaft 124 by means of which the roller 125 is carried.
- the parts 119 to 125 comprise the transfer-mechanism and this assembly is biased about the axis provided by pivots 122,122 to the position shown in'FIG. 7 by means of springs 126, one of which is associated with the parts adjacent the pivots at each side of the cabinet, as described above and shown in FIGS. 7 and 8.
- the spring arms 128 are mounted on the back wall of the cabinet by brackets 130 and in this way the arms ares upported and in posi tion in which they are urged inwardly towards each other, at opposite ends.
- the elements 127,127 frictionally engage the ends of the roll core, thereby imposing drag upon the paper web being dispensed from the roll in this station, eliminating the requirement of a pressure foot, as shown at 24 in FIGS. 3 to 6.
- the use of the friction or drag on the primary roll P cooperates with the paper feed mechanism, including the hand operated lever 117 in establishing tension in the web W from the primary roll. That is, the run of the web from the roll in the primary station to the feed mechanism is tensioned and displaces the trigger or feeler 119 to the position illustrated in FIG. 9. In consequence of this, the transfer roll 125 is displaced forwardly, away from and out of the nip between the feed rollers and l 16.
- Roll R comprises the reserve roll from which the web RW will be fed when the web from the primary roll is exhausted or the tension in the web is broken. It will be seen from FIG. 9 that the web RW is initially drawn downwardly with its leading end loosely inserted between the transfer roll and the feed mechanism, as described above. With the parts in this position, the web RW will not be dispensed, but the leading end will merely remain adjacent the feed mechanism preparation for delivery.
- the transfer roller 125 which is mounted on the rod 124, has an internal diameter substantially larger in diameter than the external diameter of the rod 125.
- the internal diameter of the transfer roller is approximately twice the external diameter of the rod 124.
- the towel dispenser of this invention is exceedingly simple and reliable and has the further advantage that the transfer of feed from one roll to another normally occurs only at a point very close to the end of the primary roll, thus avoiding paper waste incident to feed of a portion of the leading end of the reserve roll web along with a portion of the trailing end of the primary roll web.
- the reserve roll may be transferred from the reserve roll station to the primary roll station without rethreading of the web through the feed rollers and in the embodiment shown in FIGS. 7 to 11, the reserve roll may be transferred without any adjustment of the internal mechanism.
