Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Field of Application of the Invention] The present invention involves storing a roll towel on a towel bed, letting out the roll towel from one end for use, and rolling up the used portion of the roll towel. This relates to a roll towel cabinet configured to be picked up and stored, and in particular, a cassette-type roll towel cabinet created to allow quick and easy loading and unloading of used roll towels and new roll towels. It concerns vignettes.

[Background of the invention]

FIG. 4 is a schematic vertical sectional view showing an example of a roll towel cabinet commonly used in the past.

This kind of roll towel cabinet is generally
A towel bed 2 and a take-up shaft 3 are provided in a case 1 which is used by being attached to a wall W.

A new (including cleaned and unused) rolled towel 4 is placed on the towel bed 2, and one end of the rolled towel 4 is pulled out from the opening 1a of the case 1. The rolled towel that has been pulled out and used is drawn into the case 1 through the opening 1b and wound up by the winding shaft 3. Reference numeral 5 denotes a feed-out roller that provides an appropriate response to the roll towel being pulled out and controls the amount of the roll towel that is pulled out.

The rotation of the feed roller 5 is transmitted to the winding shaft 3 by a transmission means (not shown), thereby winding up the used portion of the roll towel.

As described above, the roll towel cabinet has a towel storage section that rotatably supports unused roll towels, an opening for pulling one end of the roll towel out of the case, and a drawer operation. a feeding roller to control, an opening for rolling the pulled-out portion into the case after use, and a winding roller for pulling the used portion of the roll towel through the winding-in opening and winding it up. and means for transmitting the rotation of the feed roller to the take-up roller.

However, in the conventional roll towel cabinet shown in FIG. 4, after the new roll towel 4 has been used, the used roll towel 6 is removed and a new roll towel for replacement is set in the storage section. It is difficult to pull out one end, wind it around the feed roll 5, and attach it to the take-up shaft 3 with an appropriate amount of slack, and it is inconvenient that only trained and trained technicians can operate it.

[Purpose of the invention]

The present invention was made in view of the above circumstances, and
To provide a roll towel cabinet that allows used roll towels to be quickly and easily replaced with new roll towels without requiring special skills.

[Summary of the invention]

In order to achieve the above object, the roll towel cabinet according to the present invention comprises a roll towel cassette case containing a new roll towel, and a cassette holder that removably supports the cassette case. That is, a cassette case is constructed that includes a storage section for new rolled towels, a drawer, an opening for rolling up, a feeding roller, and a take-up roller, and the cassette has a structure that allows the above-mentioned cassette case to be attached/detached and held. constitutes a holder, and
The cassette holder is provided with a joint member that can be engaged with and disengaged from the feed-out roller shaft and a joint member that is engageable with and disengaged from the take-up roller shaft, as well as a transmission means that connects both of the joint members. .

[Embodiments of the invention]

Next, one embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 3 in sequence.

FIG. 1 is a partially cut away exploded perspective view of one embodiment of the present invention.

Cassette case 11 and this cassette case 1
1 and a cassette holder 12 that removably supports the cassette holder 1.

FIG. 2 is a sectional view of the cassette case 11. This cassette case 11 is provided with a space for storing a new roll towel 4, and is also provided with an opening 11a for pulling out the roll towel and an opening 11b for winding it up.

A take-up roller 13 and a feed-out roller 15 are provided inside the cassette case 11. 13a,
Reference numeral 15a designates a square column for a joint provided at the shaft head of the winding roller 13 and the shaft head of the feeding roller 15, respectively. When carrying out the present invention, a square column, a square hole, or any other known means can be used as the joint.

To attach the cassette case 11 shown in FIG.
Fit into the grooves 12a and 12b provided in the grooves 12a and 12b, and use the lock knob 14 to prevent the screws from coming off. Removal is the opposite.

FIG. 3 is a sectional view of the cassette case 11 mounted on the cassette holder 12.

The lock knob 14 is a coil spring 1.
6, it is biased to the left in the figure, and engages with an engagement hole 11c provided in the cassette case 11 to perform a retaining function.

17 and 18 are joint members that respectively engage with the square column parts 13a and 15a as the joints,
Each is rotatably supported on the cassette holder 12 by a bearing 19. The pair of joint members 17 and 18 are configured to be able to transmit power by winding the belt 20 around them.

The plate-shaped member 21 shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 is
The partition plate is tiltably supported by a shaft 22, and serves to support a new roll towel 4, and when the used part of the roll towel is wound up on the winding roller 13, the used towel is rolled up. It also has the function of pressing against the take-up roller 13 and winding it up tightly.

An example of a practical embodiment of the roll towel cabinet constructed as described above will be described next.

Like the cassette case 11 shown in FIG. 1, store a new roll towel 4 at the manufacturer or a specialized service shop, wrap it around the feeding roller 15, pull it out from the drawer opening 11a, and insert it inside from the winding opening 11b. Insert it into the winding roller 13
Wrap it around the container, package it appropriately, and supply it to general consumers.

For general customers, cassette holder 1 must be installed in advance.
2 is attached to an appropriate location (for example, on the wall of a bathroom) and the supplied cassette case is attached, and the device is immediately ready for use.

When the roll towel is pulled out and used, the feed-out roller 15 is rotated when the towel is pulled out, so the wind-up roller 13 is rotated via the belt 20, and the used portion is wound up.

When you run out of roll towels, turn the lock knob 1.
4 (pull to the right in Figure 3) to remove the cassette case 11 and replace it with a new one.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As detailed above, when the present invention is applied, it has an excellent practical effect in that a used roll towel can be quickly and easily replaced with a new roll towel without requiring special skills. .
