Description

La présente invention se rapporte à un distributeur de produits en forme de feuilles. Elle vise en particulier un distributeur d'articles en ouate de cellulose.The present invention relates to a dispenser of sheet-shaped products. It aims in particular a distributor of articles of cellulose wadding.

On trouve couramment dans les locaux publics, tels que des établissements de restauration, des distributeurs d'articles en ouate de cellulose que l'on met à la disposition des consommateurs. Il peut s'agir de serviettes de table, d'essuie-mains ou de papier toilette.Commonly found in public premises, such as catering establishments, are distributors of articles of cellulose wadding that are made available to consumers. It can be napkins, hand towels or toilet paper.

Généralement un distributeur de serviette de table comprend un boîtier de forme sensiblement parallélépipédique avec un panneau frontal pourvu d'une fente de distribution au travers de laquelle on extrait les serviettes. Les serviettes sont disposées en paquet à l'intérieur soit en étant simplement juxtaposées et indépendantes les unes des autres soit enchevêtrées.Generally a napkin dispenser comprises a substantially parallelepiped shaped housing with a front panel provided with a dispensing slot through which the towels are extracted. The napkins are arranged in packages inside or simply being juxtaposed and independent of each other or entangled.

Les distributeurs peuvent être placés à plat ou bien verticalement contre un mur.The dispensers can be placed flat or vertically against a wall.

La taille du distributeur est en rapport avec l'importance du passage dans le local. En particulier il ne doit pas être trop petit pour que l'on ait pas à le recharger trop souvent. Le fournisseur de ces appareils de son côté cherche toujours à proposer à ses clients des solutions adaptées à leurs besoins, mais il doit tenir compte des coûts associés à la gestion d'un grand nombre de références ainsi que des coûts de fabrication. En outre les appareils sont volumineux au stocakge.The size of the dispenser is related to the importance of the passage in the room. In particular, it must not be too small for you to have to recharge it too often. The supplier of these devices on his side always seeks to offer its customers solutions tailored to their needs, but it must consider the costs associated with managing a large number of references and manufacturing costs. In addition the devices are bulky at the stocakge.

Le document EP-A-506243 décrit un distributeur de feuilles ayant un corps tubulaire avec un panneau arrière et un panneau frontal ; ces deux derniers, sont maintenus en place sur le corps tubulaire par un panneau de fond qui est solidaire du panneau arrière.The document EP-A-506243 discloses a sheet dispenser having a tubular body with a back panel and a front panel; the latter two are held in place on the tubular body by a bottom panel which is secured to the rear panel.

Il serait donc souhaitable de disposer d'un appareil de distribution dont les dimensions peuvent être choisies librement sans que cela entraîne des coûts prohibitifs.It would therefore be desirable to have a dispensing apparatus whose dimensions can be chosen freely without entailing prohibitive costs.

L'invention parvient à cet objectif avec un distributeur modulaire de produits en feuilles comportant les caractéristiques de la revendication 1.The invention achieves this objective with a modular sheet product dispenser having the features of claim 1.

Grâce à la solution de l'invention on peut proposer un distributeur à la capacité souhaitée en choisissant un corps de forme tubulaire ou bien en « U » de longueur adaptée. En particulier le fait que la fixation des panneaux d'extrémité se fasse sur des nervures longitudinales permet d'adapter la longueur sans détruire les moyens de fixation.Thanks to the solution of the invention can be proposed a distributor to the desired capacity by choosing a tubular body or "U" of suitable length. In particular, the fact that the fixing of the end panels is done on longitudinal ribs makes it possible to adapt the length without destroying the fastening means.

Ces nervures tout en rendant le montage simple offrent l'avantage de raidir les parois. Il est ainsi permis de les réaliser plus fines et d'économiser de la matière.These ribs while making the simple assembly offer the advantage of stiffening the walls. It is thus possible to realize them finer and to save material.

Conformément à une autre caractéristique le corps comporte un panneau amovible sur une de ses faces et comprend une seconde nervure coopérant avec une nervure solidaire dudit panneau amovible. En particulier l'une desdites deux nervures a une section en forme d'arc de cercle, l'autre ayant une section en forme de portion de disque de façon à constituer une charnière.According to another feature the body comprises a removable panel on one of its faces and comprises a second rib cooperating with a rib integral with said removable panel. In particular one of said two ribs has a circular arc-shaped section, the other having a disc portion-shaped section so as to form a hinge.

Conformément à une autre caractéristique, le corps comporte des troisièmes nervures pour le guidage d'un panneau transversal à l'intérieur entre les deux panneaux frontal et arrière.According to another feature, the body has third ribs for guiding a transverse panel inside between the two front and rear panels.

Conformément à une autre caractéristique, le corps comporte des quatrièmes nervures pour le guidage d'un ressort de rappel dudit panneau transversal.According to another characteristic, the body comprises fourth ribs for guiding a return spring of said transverse panel.

Conformément à une autre caractéristique, les nervures s'étendent longitudinalement sur toute la longueur dudit corps.According to another characteristic, the ribs extend longitudinally over the entire length of said body.

Conformément à une autre caractéristique ledit corps est constitué de deux parties en forme d'équerre assemblées en forme de « U ». En particulier, les deux parties sont maintenues ensemble par deux éléments formant des nervures.According to another feature, said body consists of two U-shaped bracket-shaped parts. In particular, the two parts are held together by two elements forming ribs.

Conformément à une autre caractéristique ledit corps comprend des nervures, sur sa face interne notamment, assurant ensemble les fonctions de guidage, d'assemblage et de fermeture.According to another characteristic, said body comprises ribs, in particular on its internal face, which together provide guiding, assembly and closure functions.

L'invention porte également sur un procédé pour fabriquer un distributeur, caractérisé par le fait qu'il consiste à tronçonner un élément formant ledit corps dans un élément extrudé comportant des nervures longitudinales sur sa face interne, et à fixer, à une extrémité, sur ces nervures un panneau avec une fente de distribution et un panneau à l'autre extrémité.The invention also relates to a method for manufacturing a dispenser, characterized in that it consists in cutting a member forming said body in an extruded member having longitudinal ribs on its inner face, and in fixing, at one end, on these ribs a panel with a distribution slot and a panel at the other end.

Conformément à une autre caractéristique ledit élément extrudé est en forme de gouttière et comporte une nervure longitudinale à proximité d'un bord libre sur laquelle on fixe, après tronçonnage, un panneau amovible articulé autour dudit bord libre.According to another characteristic, said extruded element is in the form of a gutter and comprises a longitudinal rib near a free edge on which is fixed, after cutting, a removable panel hinged around said free edge.

Conformément à une autre caractéristique, on tronçonne deux éléments dans deux éléments extrudés en forme d'équerre et on assemble les dits deux éléments pour former le dit corps.According to another feature, two elements are cut into two extruded elements in the form of a square and said two elements are assembled to form said body.

D'autres avantages et caractéristiques complémentaires ressortiront de la description qui suit d'un mode de réalisation non limitatif de l'invention en regard des dessins sur lesquels,

  • la figure 1 représente une vue éclatée en perspective d'un distributeur de l'invention
  • la figure 2 est une vue en perspective d'une partie du corps du distributeur de la figure 1
  • la figure 3 est une vue en perspective de la partie complémentaire du corps du distributeur de la figure 2
  • la figure 4 est une vue en perspective du panneau frontal
  • la figure 5 est une vue en perspective du panneau supérieur.
Other advantages and additional features will emerge from the following description of a non-limiting embodiment of the invention with reference to the drawings in which,
  • the figure 1 represents an exploded perspective view of a distributor of the invention
  • the figure 2 is a perspective view of a body part of the distributor of the figure 1
  • the figure 3 is a perspective view of the complementary part of the body of the dispenser of the figure 2
  • the figure 4 is a perspective view of the front panel
  • the figure 5 is a perspective view of the top panel.

La figure 1 est une vue éclatée d'un mode préféré de réalisation de l'invention. Le distributeur est composé d'un corps en deux parties 10A et 10B, d'un panneau frontal 20, d'un panneau arrière 30, d'un panneau supérieur 40, d'un panneau poussoir 50 et accessoirement d'une fenêtre 60 en matériau transparent complétant la paroi formée par le panneau supérieur. Lorsque ces éléments sont assemblés, ils forment une boîte dans laquelle on dispose les articles en ouate de cellulose, notamment des serviettes de table. Les serviettes sont placées parallèlement au panneau frontal qui est pourvu d'une fente de distribution 21 au travers de laquelle on peut les extraire. Les serviettes sont maintenues contre le panneau frontal 20 par l'appui du panneau poussoir 50 qui est maintenu en poussée grâce à des ressorts de rappel qui sont logés dans les parois du corps 10.The figure 1 is an exploded view of a preferred embodiment of the invention. The dispenser is composed of a two-part body 10A and 10B, a front panel 20, a rear panel 30, an upper panel 40, a pusher panel 50 and incidentally a window 60 transparent material completing the wall formed by the top panel. When these elements are assembled, they form a box in which the articles are made of cellulose wadding, including napkins. The towels are placed parallel to the front panel which is provided with a distribution slot 21 through which they can be extracted. The towels are held against the front panel 20 by the support of the pusher panel 50 which is maintained in thrust by means of return springs which are housed in the walls of the body 10.

La figure 2 montre l'élément 10A du corps 10. Il a une forme en équerre avec une branche pour le fond et une branche pour une paroi latérale. Sur la branche 10A2 formant une paroi latérale, on observe des premières nervures 11 et 12 longitudinales qui s'étendent d'une extrémité à l'autre de l'élément en équerre. La forme en partie tubulaire, à section circulaire par exemple, de ses nervures permet l'introduction en leurs bouts de vis de maintien des panneaux et leur vissage. La nervure 13 à proximité du bord supérieur de l'équerre, a une section transversale en forme d'arc de cercle pour servir de logement à une nervure complémentaire prévue sur le panneau 40. La nervure 14 est double ; elle est conformée de façon à servir de logement à un ressort hélicoïdal non représenté qui est mobile dans le sens longitudinal. Au lieu d'un ressort on peut prévoir tout autre moyen élastique équivalent qui exerce une force de rappel dans le sens longitudinal. La nervure 15 sert de guide et d'appui à des roulettes ou des patins qui sont montés sur le panneau poussoir. Les nervures 16 sur la branche formant le fond, ici au nombre de trois, servent d'appui aux serviettes qui sont placées dans le distributeur et réduisent notamment le frottement entre les serviettes et la boîte, tout en raidissant la paroi. Sur l'autre bord libre de l'équerre une dernière nervure 17 est destinée à coopérer avec une nervure ménagée sur l'élément 10B pour les lier l'un à l'autre.The figure 2 shows the element 10A of the body 10. It has an angled shape with a branch for the bottom and a branch for a side wall. On the branch 10A2 forming a side wall, there are first longitudinal ribs 11 and 12 which extend from one end to the other of the element at right angles. The partly tubular shape, circular section for example, its ribs allows the introduction into their ends of screws holding the panels and their screwing. The rib 13 near the upper edge of the square, has a cross-section shaped circular arc to serve as a housing for a complementary rib provided on the panel 40. The rib 14 is double; it is shaped to serve as a housing for a helical spring not shown which is movable in the longitudinal direction. Instead of a spring can be provided any other equivalent elastic means which exerts a restoring force in the longitudinal direction. Rib 15 serves as a guide and support for rollers or pads that are mounted on the pusher panel. The ribs 16 on the branch forming the bottom, here three in number, support the towels that are placed in the dispenser and reduce the friction between the towels and the box, while stiffening the wall. On the other free edge of the bracket a last rib 17 is intended to cooperate with a rib formed on the element 10B to bind to one another.

L'élément 10B représenté sur la figure 3, est symétrique du premier, à l'exception des nervures des bords libres longitudinaux. La nervure 17' a une forme complémentaire à celle de la nervure 17 en bourrelet que l'on peut introduire dans le logement que forme la nervure 17. On l'introduit en faisant glisser la nervure 17' depuis une extrémité. On observe que la nervure 15' est double. Sa face inférieure sert de surface de guidage pour l'élément poussoir 50. Elle forme sur sa face supérieure une glissière 18 pour le logement d'un élément de verrouillage, non représenté, du panneau supérieur 40 dont le bord libre vient en appui contre le bord libre supérieur 13' de la branche latérale. L'élément de verrouillage est de préférence un clip avec des branches élastiques.The element 10B shown on the figure 3 , is symmetrical of the first, with the exception of the ribs of the longitudinal free edges. The rib 17 'has a shape complementary to that of the bead rib 17 that can be introduced into the housing formed by the rib 17. It is introduced by sliding the rib 17' from one end. It is observed that the rib 15 'is double. Its underside serves as a guiding surface for the pusher element 50. It forms on its upper face a slideway 18 for accommodating a locking element, not shown, of the upper panel 40 whose free edge bears against the upper free edge 13 'of the lateral branch. The locking element is preferably a clip with elastic branches.

Le panneau frontal 20 est représenté sur la figure 4 vu de sa face interne. On observe quatre logements 23 pour des vis de fixation aux quatre coins. Ces logements sont à la même hauteur que les nervures 11 et 12. une vis introduite depuis l'extérieur peut ainsi être engagée dans l'orifice d'extrémité de chacune de ses dernières.The front panel 20 is shown on the figure 4 seen from its internal face. There are four housings 23 for fastening screws at the four corners. These housings are at the same height as the ribs 11 and 12. A screw introduced from the outside can thus be engaged in the end orifice of each of its last.

Le panneau arrière n'est pas représenté en détail il comporte les mêmes perçages à proximité des coins pour la fixation par vis aux nervures 11 et 12.The rear panel is not shown in detail it has the same holes near the corners for fastening screws to the ribs 11 and 12.

La figure 5 montre le panneau supérieur 40. Une nervure 41 est ménagée sur un bord longitudinal. Sa forme est complémentaire de celle de la nervure 13 de l'élément 10A. Une fois qu'elles sont engagées l'une dans l'autre, le panneau 40 peut pivoter autour du bord supérieur de l'élément 10A. Un retrait 42 du profil de la nervure 41 assure la fonction de butée et limite le débattement du panneau 40. Le bord opposé comporte une nervure double qui coopère avec le clip mentionné plus haut. La paroi arrière de cette nervure double limite le mouvement en arrière des branches élastiques du clip. Le panneau poussoir 50 est équipé de chaque côté de roulettes 52 et d'un ergot 53 sur lequel on fixe l'extrémité du ressort de rappel.The figure 5 shows the upper panel 40. A rib 41 is formed on a longitudinal edge. Its shape is complementary to that of the rib 13 of the element 10A. Once engaged with each other, the panel 40 can pivot about the upper edge of the element 10A. A recess 42 of the profile of the rib 41 provides the stop function and limits the deflection of the panel 40. The opposite edge has a double rib which cooperates with the clip mentioned above. The rear wall of this double rib limits the movement behind the elastic branches of the clip. The pusher panel 50 is equipped on each side with wheels 52 and a lug 53 on which the end of the return spring is fixed.

Les pièces 20, 30, 50 et 60 sont, de préférence, fabriquées par moulage de façon classique. Les éléments 10A, 10B et 40 sont, de préférence, réalisés par extrusion de matière, notamment l'aluminium, au travers d'une filière appropriée. Pour la fabrication d'un distributeur il suffit de disposer d'éléments 10, 40 venus du tronçonnage des éléments extrudés.The parts 20, 30, 50 and 60 are preferably manufactured by molding in a conventional manner. The elements 10A, 10B and 40 are preferably made by extrusion of material, in particular aluminum, through a suitable die. For the manufacture of a dispenser it suffices to have elements 10, 40 coming from the cutting of the extruded elements.

On assemble ensuite les pièces entre elles comme le suggère la vue éclatée de la figure 1. On forme d'abord le corps 10 en introduisant la nervure 17' de l'équerre 10B dans la nervure 17 de l'équerre 10A. On met en place le panneau supérieur 40 en faisant glisser les nervures 13 et 41 l'une dans l'autre. L'élément de verrouillage, non représenté, est introduit dans la glissière ménagée sur le bord supérieur de la nervure 15'. On met en place le poussoir 50 avec ses roulettes 52 contre les surfaces de guidage formées par les nervures 15 et 15' et les deux ressorts de rappel à l'intérieur des nervures 14 dont une extrémité est solidaire de l'ergot 53, ainsi que la fenêtre facultative 60.The pieces are then assembled together as suggested by the exploded view of the figure 1 . The body 10 is first formed by introducing the rib 17 'of the bracket 10B into the rib 17 of the bracket 10A. The upper panel 40 is put in place by sliding the ribs 13 and 41 into one another. The locking element, not shown, is introduced into the slide formed on the upper edge of the rib 15 '. The pusher 50 is placed with its rollers 52 against the guide surfaces formed by the ribs 15 and 15 'and the two return springs inside the ribs 14, one end of which is secured to the lug 53, as well as the optional window 60.

Enfin on ferme la boîte avec les panneaux 20 et 30 que l'on fixe avec des vis engagées depuis l'extérieur dans les logements 23 jusque dans les nervures tubulaires 11 et 12.Finally we close the box with the panels 20 and 30 that are fixed with screws engaged from the outside in the housing 23 into the tubular ribs 11 and 12.

On a ainsi réalisé un distributeur robuste, dont la capacité peut être choisie en fonction des besoins, avec un nombre réduit de pièces, et qui globalement est économique. Les pièces peuvent être stockées séparément et montées à la demande. La personne qui assure le montage peut avoir à disposition les éléments extrudés prédécoupés à la bonne longueur ou bien elle peut elle-même tronçonner à la longueur voulue les profils extrudés.This has resulted in a robust dispenser, the capacity of which can be selected according to the needs, with a reduced number of parts, and which overall is economical. Parts can be stored separately and mounted on demand. The person carrying out the assembly can have the pre-cut extruded elements at the right length or can cut the extruded profiles to the desired length.
