technical field

The present invention relates to a solid roll of flexible web-shaped material, such as paper or non-woven material, provided with at least one adapter, suitable for mounting and holding in various types of In the traditional dispenser, when it is delivered to the end consumer, it can be loaded into the dispenser at any time without adding and installing any additional adapter parts. Furthermore, the invention relates to an adapter for a solid roll, an adapter assembly for a solid roll and a dispenser for holding a solid roll according to the invention.

Background technique

Commercial and consumer products made of flexible roll materials, such as toilet paper, towels, wipes, industrial wipes, and nonwoven wipes, are typically dispensed and dispensed in roll form. Small rolls with a diameter of 100-150 mm are usually used for domestic use, while large rolls, usually called jumbo rolls, with a diameter of 200-400 mm are used for commercial use, ie for offices and public washrooms and the like. Jumbo rolls can carry more and heavier flexible rolls than smaller household rolls. Small household rolls weigh 0.1-0.2kg; large rolls weigh 0.2-8.0kg, or even 10kg, and can carry 1500m of flexible roll material.

There are many different types of rolls on the market today such as cored rolls, coreless rolls and solid rolls. These types of volumes have different characteristics, which are described further below. Traditionally, cored rolls have dominated the market, while new market trends have introduced coreless rolls and solid rolls.

Core rolls that have traditionally been used are generally manufactured on a hollow cylindrical core onto which the flexible roll material is wound. For example, the hollow cylindrical core could be made of some kind of cardboard or plastic material. After the product has been processed, the hollow cylindrical core remains in the cored roll. Thus, cored rolls intended for use by end consumers comprise a hollow cylindrical core defining a hollow space in the center of the roll.

Coreless rolls introduced by new market trends do not include any hollow cylindrical core around which the flexible roll material is wound. However, coreless rolls include an opening through the center of the roll. Coreless rolls are produced on some sort of mandrel that is part of the production facility. The flexible roll material is wound onto a mandrel to form a roll, and the mandrel is then withdrawn and recycled after the roll is made. During extraction of the mandrel from the roll, an opening is formed through the roll. During or after withdrawal of the mandrel, the opening may collapse, taking on a deformed shape, such as oval, flattened or star-shaped, but coreless rolls for end consumer use still include the opening in the center of the roll. In order to function like a core, the innermost windings of the roll material are usually attached to each other by adding some water. However, the diameter of the central opening of a coreless roll is much smaller than the diameter of the core of a cored roll. One consequence of this is that, for a given outer diameter, a coreless roll may contain more flexible roll material than a cored roll, for example. Machine tools and methods for producing coreless rolls are described in eg EP 1268330.

Solid rolls recently introduced to the market do not include any hollow cylindrical core, nor do they include an opening through the center of the roll. During roll production, a solid roll is not produced on any core, mandrel, etc., and the innermost part of the roll is also filled with flexible roll material. The finished solid roll appears superficially as a compact cylinder filled with flexible roll material, and its cross-section is substantially uniform when viewed from the side. The density range of solid rolls is 140-380 kg/m ³ . However, there may be some deviations from a uniform feature due to eg technical reasons during manufacture or due to foreseeable deviations in the central region. The density of the 10 mm diameter central part may range for example between 20 kg/ ^m3 less and 20 kg/ ^m3 more than the rest of the roll. The density of the 10 mm diameter central portion can be measured by unrolling the solid roll such that the remaining portion of the solid roll has a diameter of 10 mm, and then measuring the volume and weight of this remaining portion of the solid roll. Since a solid roll does not have any core or opening in the center of the roll, for a given outer diameter, a solid roll may contain more meters of flexible roll material than a cored or coreless roll. A machine tool and method for producing solid coils is described in eg EP 0580561 .

When the flexible roll material has been used up, the core of the cored roll has to be removed and discarded. Coreless and solid rolls are more environmentally friendly than cored rolls because all of the flexible roll material of a coreless or solid roll can be used up and they have no core that has to be discarded. Additionally, cored rolls are more expensive to manufacture than coreless and solid rolls due to the expense of producing the core and incorporating the core into the product.

However, because core rolls have traditionally been used, traditional dispensers used by consumers today are generally only suitable for core rolls. Many conventional dispensers include, for example, a mandrel or the like on which the roll is mounted in a manner similar to ubiquitous bathroom toilet paper roll dispensers. Such a mandrel is arranged to pass through or penetrate the inner space of the core of the cored roll so that the cored roll can rotate about the mandrel. For example, the mandrel may be a member of the dispenser that is secured at one end to the dispenser, or may be a release member of the dispenser adapted to be inserted into a slot, pathway, etc. defined in a side of the dispenser.

Since solid rolls do not have openings through the roll, solid rolls are not suitable for loading into a dispenser for cored rolls, including a mandrel or the like into which the rolls are inserted. Furthermore, because the central opening of a coreless roll may assume a distorted shape, because the diameter of the central opening is smaller than the diameter of the core of a cored roll, and because the diameter of the central opening may vary with air moisture content, it may be difficult to make Coreless rolls are suitable for such dispensers. Furthermore, there is the danger that the coreless roll will wobble in such a dispenser when material is drawn from the roll.

One way to enable the installation and retention of coreless rolls or solid rolls, respectively, in a dispenser is to utilize a dispenser that is specially configured for loading coreless rolls and/or solid rolls during its manufacture.

An example of a dispenser specially configured to hold a coreless roll or a solid roll, respectively, is a dispenser having the shape of a trough into which the roll is placed. Flexible web material is fed on the upper edge of the chute or through the lower slit. However, in such dispensers, when the solid roll has only a few wraps left, it can be difficult to hold the end of the flexible roll, and the user has to pick up the solid roll to find the end of the flexible roll.

Another example of a dispenser specially configured to hold a solid roll is a dispenser that includes a protrusion on at least one side of the dispenser. Such a dispenser is disclosed, for example, in WO2004056250. The protruding portion may be a pin or the like. When a new solid roll is loaded into such a dispenser, the protrusion is forced to penetrate between the wraps of the solid roll. However, in order to be able to use as much solid roll material as possible, the projection must be forced to penetrate at or near the innermost coil. Thus, the user has to try to mount the solid roll to the protruding portion so that the protruding portion penetrates at or near the innermost coil. Also, some force needs to be applied to penetrate.

Another way to enable the installation and retention of coreless rolls or solid rolls, respectively, in the dispenser is to use existing dispensers for cored rolls for loading coreless rolls or solid rolls, respectively, and/or Modify coreless rolls or solid rolls to fit into such a dispenser.

One method well known in the art for modifying coreless or solid rolls for installation and retention in dispensers for cored rolls involves: A recess is formed on the top, an adapter is provided, and the adapter is installed in the recess and mounted on the mounting structure of the distributor. A method of making depressions on the vertical sides of a roll is disclosed, for example, in US 5,620,148.

WO 99/60909 discloses an adapter for converting a dispenser for small cored rolls into a dispenser for small coreless rolls. The adapter includes a plunger arranged to extend from one side of the dispenser and fit into a recess in the side of the coreless roll. Additionally, the adapter includes accessories for securing the adapter to core roll product dispensers. The depressions are preferably provided in each side of the coreless roll during production.

US 6,082,664 discloses an adapter for small solid or coreless rolls of paper material wherein there are grooves or scores in the roll defined on the vertical sides of the roll. The adapter is placed in a dispenser for cored rolls, wherein there is a slot in the dispenser defined at the sides of the dispenser. A groove that should be formed during production defines the axis of rotation for the coreless or solid roll, and the protrusion extending from the adapter is arranged to be squeezed into one of the grooves. An engagement member extends generally transversely from the adapter and is insertable into and slidable in the slot in the side of the dispenser. A pair of adapters can engage within the dispenser and hold a roll between them.

US 6,592,068 discloses an adapter for small solid or coreless rolls of paper material in which there are grooves or scores in the roll defined on the vertical sides of the roll. The adapter is placed in a dispenser for cored rolls, wherein there is a slot in the dispenser defined at the sides of the dispenser. The adapter includes a bracket having opposing side members affixed to the transverse support arms. A protrusion is formed on one side of each side member for engaging at least partially within the groove of the vertical side of the solid or coreless roll. A pin is provided on the other side of each side member for engaging a slot in the side of the dispenser.

However, in order to mount and hold coreless or solid rolls, respectively, in dispensers for cored rolls with adapters according to WO 99/60909, US 6,082,664 and US 6,592,068, the rolls must be provided with recesses in their respective vertical sides . In use, the user has to fit these adapters into two recesses in the side of the roll and onto the dispenser, respectively, and ensure a secure fit on both the roll and the dispenser. Thus, some workload is added to the user. Furthermore, the adapters according to US 6,082,664 and US 6,592,068 respectively can only be used in dispensers with slots or the like defined in their side walls.

Another method known in the art of modifying a coreless roll having a central hole for loading into a dispenser for a cored roll consists of using an adapter for inserting into said hole and attaching to such a dispenser .

US 5,495,667 discloses a support mandrel apparatus for insertion into the central hole of a roll of coreless toilet paper to support toilet paper dispensing of the type having opposing, elongated, substantially vertically oriented channels coreless rolls in the container. The supporting mandrel apparatus comprises an elongated mandrel body having a substantially cruciform cross-section over most of its length. In use, the mandrel device is inserted into the hole of the coreless roll so that one end is outside the roll on one side of the roll and the other end is outside the roll on the opposite side of the roll. One end of the mandrel device can then be inserted into the slot on one side of the dispenser and the other end of the mandrel device can be inserted into the slot on the opposite side of the dispenser. The supporting mandrel apparatus also includes a wind stop member fixedly affixed to the elongated mandrel body to prevent movement of the roll relative to the mandrel apparatus in a single direction.

US 5,868,342 describes a roll mandrel for use in a modification of a multi-roll dispenser commonly used to dispense tissue from rolls of toilet paper, having a central core for dispensing tissue from a coreless roll. Insert a mandrel into each roll in the multi-roll dispenser. The spindle includes a spindle shaft and a plurality of roll engaging elements pivoting on the spindle shaft. In addition, the mandrel also has a tapered end that is first inserted into the roll when the mandrel is inserted. At the other end of the mandrel, a mounting member is provided for securing the mandrel to the dispenser. During use, the coreless roll is rotatable about the axis of the mandrel by means of the pivotable roll engaging member, while the axis of the mandrel is fixed in place, ie does not rotate.

However, in order to mount and hold coreless rolls in dispensers for cored rolls using the mandrels according to US 5,495,667 and US 5,868,342, the user has to install those mandrels into the holes of the coreless rolls respectively. As mentioned above, since the hole of a coreless roll may have collapsed and assumed a distorted shape, fitting such a mandrel into the hole and avoiding penetration of the roll of roll material during insertion of such a mandrel is tricky and time consuming. Furthermore, the mandrels according to US 5,495,667 and US 5,868,342 respectively are only suitable for rolls with a central hole, such as coreless rolls, they are not suitable for solid rolls. Furthermore, the mandrel device according to US 5,868,342 can only be used with a special type of dispenser.

Therefore, there remains a need for a simple and reliable method of obtaining and maintaining a solid roll of flexible web material in a dispenser so that the flexible web material can be dispensed in a reliable and user-friendly manner. Furthermore, there is a need for the possibility of obtaining solid rolls made of flexible roll material, suitable for being able to fit and hold in various types of dispensers that keep the roll on its centreline. There is also a need for the possibility to obtain solid rolls which are modified so that they are ready for use in the dispenser upon delivery, ie the user does not have to add any adaptation parts.

Detailed ways

Figures 1a and 1b show simplified cross-sectional views respectively of a first and a second embodiment of a solid roll 1 of flexible roll material according to the invention, wherein the outline of the solid roll 1 is shown with dashed lines. As noted above, a solid roll of flexible roll material does not include any central cylindrical core like a cored roll, nor does it include any hole through the center of the roll like a coreless roll. Rather, the innermost portion of the solid roll is filled with flexible roll material. The solid roll 1 according to the invention may be of any type and size, including jumbo rolls.

A cylindrical solid roll 1 has opposite sides 2 , 3 , an envelope surface 4 between the sides 2 , 3 and a center line 5 . If the solid roll 1 is correctly and substantially evenly wound around the flexible roll material, then the innermost roll is located substantially on the centerline 5 . Typically, the solid roll 1 is properly, substantially evenly wound from the flexible roll material such that the innermost coil is substantially on, or at least near, the centerline 5 .

According to the invention, the solid roll 1 is provided with at least one adapter 6 adapted to be arranged on one of the sides 2 , 3 . The solid roll 1 can be provided with only one adapter 6, i.e. one adapter 6 on one of the sides 2,3, or with two adapters 6, i.e. on each of the two sides 2,3. an adapter6. In the first embodiment shown in FIG. 1 a, the solid roll 1 is provided with only one adapter 6 . In a second embodiment shown in FIG. 1 b, the solid roll 1 is provided with two adapters 6 . Both the adapter 6 in the first embodiment and the adapter 6 in the second embodiment have the same structure. A first end view and a second end view of the adapter 6 in the first and second embodiments are shown in Fig. 1c and Fig. 1d respectively. However, in other embodiments the solid roll 1 is provided with two adapters 6 having different configurations. This is described further below.

The adapter 6 is adapted to be partially inserted into the solid roll 1 , the adapter 6 comprising first attachment means 7 for attachment to the solid roll 1 and second attachment means 8 for attachment to the dispenser.

First attachment means 7 for attaching the adapter 6 to the solid roll 1 is adapted to project into the solid roll 1 from one side 2, 3 of the solid roll 1 and to engage the solid roll 1 at or near the center line 5.

Second attachment means 8 for attaching the adapter 6 to the dispenser are suitably arranged to be attachable to the dispenser. Preferably, the second attachment means 8 is adapted to be arranged extending in the direction of the center line 5 of the solid roll 1 . The second attachment device 8 is adapted to allow the adapter 6 to be attached to various types of conventional dispensers, including those for cored rolls as well as for solid rolls provided with depressions on their sides and without. Dispenser for core rolls. In the first and second embodiments of the solid roll 1 , the second attachment means 8 comprises a shaft 13 adapted to be arranged to extend away from the solid roll 1 and to be rotatably mounted to a complementary shaft of the dispenser. on the device. Examples of complementary means to which the distributor of the shaft 13 may be mounted may be different types of bearings. However, as described further below, in other embodiments the shape of the second attachment means 8 may be altered to fit on different complementary means on different types of conventional dispensers. In some cases it is possible to adapt the complementary means of a conventional dispenser to the second attachment means 8 .

Furthermore, the first attachment means 7 of the adapter 6 in the first and second embodiments comprises an elongated attachment member 9 having the shape of, for example, a pin, a tube, etc. and adapted to be arranged in The centerline 5 of the solid roll 1 extends at or near it. The elongate additional member 9 is adapted to secure the adapter 6 to the flexible web material of the solid roll 1 by frictional engagement. Although the first attachment means 7 of the adapter 6 in the first and second embodiments of the solid roll 1 comprises an elongated attachment member 9, the adapter 6 in other embodiments of the solid roll 1 may comprise more than one An elongated additional member 9 . Further embodiments of the invention will be described further below, wherein the adapter 6 comprises more than one elongate additional member 9 adapted to be arranged to extend at or near the centerline of the solid roll 1 .

The elongate additional member 9 is adapted to insert the solid roll 1 between the rolls of flexible roll material, even if the innermost part of the solid roll 1 is filled with material. If the solid roll 1 is wound substantially uniformly from the flexible roll material, the center line 5 of the solid roll 1 usually coincides at least substantially with the axis of rotation of the solid roll 1 . However, when the elongate attachment member 9 is inserted into the solid roll 1, the second attachment means 8 defines a center line of rotation 10 for the solid roll 1 around which the solid roll 1 will rotate when held in the dispenser. Centerline 10 rotates.

In order to be able to fully or substantially fully unroll and use the flexible roll material of the solid roll 1, it is important that the elongated additional member 9 is inserted at or near the innermost coil. Since solid rolls are usually correctly and substantially evenly wound from flexible roll material, whereby the innermost coils are substantially on or at least near the centerline 5, it is important that the elongated The additional member 9 is inserted at or near the centerline 5 of the solid roll 1 . In the first and second embodiments, the extension attachment 9 is preferably inserted substantially along the centerline 5 of the solid roll 1 , preferably along the centerline 5 of the solid roll 1 .

Even if the innermost part of the solid roll 1 is filled with material, the elongate additional member 9 must be forced to penetrate the solid roll 1 . In the first and second embodiments, the elongated additional member 9 comprises a portion 12 with a conical shape terminating in a sharp end 11 in order to allow the elongated additional member 9 to penetrate the solid roll 1 . The portion 12 having a tapered shape may constitute only a part of the elongated additional member 9 or constitute the entire elongated additional member 9 . The tapered portion 12 having a tapered shape may reach the sharp end 11 gradually or in steps. When the adapter 6 is inserted, the very sharp pointed end 11 is inserted first. However, in other embodiments, the elongated additional member 9 does not include a tapered portion 12 nor does it include a sharpened end 11 . Furthermore, in other embodiments comprising more than one elongated additional member 9 , only one or some of the elongated additional members 9 comprise a tapered portion 12 and a sharpened end 11 .

The sharpened tip 11 and tapered portion 12 facilitate the insertion of the elongated attachment member 9, reducing the force required for insertion. Nevertheless, the insertion of the elongated additional member 9 requires the application of relatively high pressure. Furthermore, during the insertion of the elongate additional member 9 of the adapter 6 into the solid roll 1, it is important, as described above, that the elongate add-on member 9 is inserted near or on the centerline of the solid roll 1 to enable substantially all Unroll and use the flexible roll material easily. If two adapters 6 are to be inserted into a solid roll 1, it is also important that the elongated additional members 9 of the two adapters 6 are each substantially aligned so that the second additional members 8 of the two adapters 6 respectively define a center line of rotation 10 are substantially on the same straight line in the solid roll 1 . Therefore, the insertion of the adapter 6 is preferably performed when the solid roll 1 is manufactured or at least before the solid roll 1 reaches the end consumer. By performing the insertion of the adapter 6 at the factory, the insertion can be performed in a controlled environment. For example, a sufficiently high but not too high force may be applied to insert the adapter 6 into the solid roll 1, a suitable method may be used for the insertion, and the insertion may be controlled so that the elongated additional member 9 is inserted at the centerline or the centerline of the solid roll 1. its vicinity. Furthermore, a kit with a solid roll 1 provided with one or two adapters 6 can be delivered to the end consumer by inserting the adapter 6 into the solid roll 1 before the solid roll 1 reaches the end consumer. This means that, upon delivery, the solid roll 1 is ready for use, ie the user does not need to apply any adapters before loading the solid roll into the dispenser.
