Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a paper dispensing system. More specifically, it relates to a system for dispensing tissue from a continuous length paper product stored on a roll, such as toilet paper, paper toweling, and the like.
  • the paper perforated so that it can be torn off easily, is generally divided into square sheets between each perforation. Although the perforations make it easier to tear the paper from the roll, they do create a problem. If the tissue is not carefully folded along the perforations, a perforated line will be located in the middle of the layered strip. If perforation lines of juxtaposed layers line up, the tissue strip is significantly weakened. To compensate for this resulting reduced strength, more paper generally has to be used.
  • the perforations In order to use the tissue in the most economical fashion, the perforations should ideally be located at the edges of the layered strip. This achieves greatest strength from the least amount of paper. Whether the paper is folded over at the edges, or torn creating separate sheets, makes little difference. However, the perforated lines are often hardly noticeable, and most people cannot be bothered to locate the perforated lines, count the sheets, and then fold the tissue along the perforations.
  • U. S. Patent 2,243,686, issued May 27, 1941 to Steiner et al discloses a sheet dispensing cabinet which comprises a gravity fed supply roll which is continuously engaged with a feed roll. An operating disk, used to start the paper dispensing after tear-off, is attached at one end of the feed roll. A tear-off knife allows a sheet to be manually torn from the roll.
  • U. S. Patent 3,167,368, issued Jan. 26, 1965 to Rozlog et al discloses a motor-driven dispenser, actuated by an accessible button, for rolled sheet material such as toilet tissue and paper towels.
  • Two electric motor-driven feed belt assemblies within an external housing resiliently engage the sheet material being fed.
  • a guide chute receives the sheet material and guides it from its roll to the discharge opening in the front cover of the housing. Sheets are separated from the continuous roll by manual pulling of the free end of the material by the user, which causes the material to tear along a perforation line of the material within the housing of the dispenser.
  • U. S. Patent 4,786,005 issued Nov. 22, 1988 to Hoffman et al , discloses an apparatus for dispensing rolled sheet material such as paper towels.
  • the apparatus automatically dispenses sheet material when actuated in response to the proximity of a hand of a user.
  • An electric motor drives the dispensing apparatus for a predetermined time, dispensing a predetermined length of sheet material. The user then manually tears away the length of sheet material .
  • U. S. Patent 5,452,832 issued Sept. 26, 1995 to Niada, discloses an apparatus for dispensing, in response to the movement of a user's hand, an adjustable length of paper towel manually severable from a continuous roll of paper.
  • a proximity detector actuates a motor for a predetermined time which operates a dragging roller, thereby ' dispensing a set length of paper from the feed roll.
  • a stationary blade cuts the strip from the continuous roll when the user applies pressure with the paper on the blade.
  • U. S. Patent 6,105,898, issued Aug. 22, 2000 to Byrd et al discloses a hands-free paper towel dispenser which dispenses a length of paper in response to the movement of a user's hands.
  • a photo sensor activates a motor which rotates a drive roller, dispensing a predetermined sheet length which can be grasped by the user and manually torn off along a blade.
  • Provision for two paper rolls, a main roll and a stub roll allows a partially depleted main roll to be transferred by an attendant to the stub roll position, so that it can be completely depleted before a new roll is started.
  • a rolled tissue dispensing system comprising a housing means dimensioned to accept at least one roll of a continuous rolled tissue product, having at least a lower dispensing opening; at least a tissue sheet separating means disposed within said housing, means, for removing individual tissue sheets from said continuous rolled tissue product; at least a tissue advancing means disposed within said housing means, for .advancing said continuous tissue product from said roll to said sheet separating means; at least a tissue sheet guide disposed within said housing means, enabling tissue sheets discharged from said tissue sheet separating means to be laid horizontally and stacked in a dispensing tray accessible by said dispensing opening in said housing means; at least an electric motor for powering said tissue advancing means and said tissue sheet separating means; whereby the tissue sheets are individually separated from the rolled tissue product as continuous tissue product is advanced through the tissue separating means.
  • the device operates automatically in order to maintain a supply of stacked tissue sheets in the dispensing tray.
  • the device separates the continuous rolled tissue along the perforated lines, counts the pre-selected number of discharged sheets, and then stacks the sheets on top of each other in the dispensing tray. No force is required to remove the pile from the tray of the dispenser, and as soon as a pile is removed, another is delivered by the device.

  • a selector switch 24 which permits the pre-selection of the number of tissue sheets desired, and a power switch 22 are located on a lateral face 13 of the exterior housing 12.
  • the device uses two sets of rollers, namely, feed rollers 32 and 34 and tearing rollers
  • Roller 32 is driven by a motor 48 through a belt 38.
  • the motor 48 is also used to drive tearing roller 40, through an adjustable clutch 44 having a free pulley 41, by belt 46.
  • Rollers 34 and 42 are held in contact with rollers 32 and 40 respectively, by helical coil compression springs 54 and 56 mounted on fixed bases 58.
  • the springs ensure contact with driven rollers 32 and 40 causing spring-loaded rollers 34 and 42 to rotate in opposite directions from rollers 32 and 40.
  • the spring-loaded rollers 34 and 42 apply pressure to the paper, however still allowing small foreign objects which may fall inside the housing, such as coins, to pass through without obstructing the system.
  • the size of the pulleys are chosen such that rollers 40 and 42 rotate faster than rollers 32 and 34.
  • An optional additional feed roller 36 provides additional support and rotating force for ' the tissue roll 30.
  • Small guide rollers 50 on either side of the tissue feed roll 30 ensure that the tissue roll 30 is centered and does not translate forward when it is rotated by the feed rollers 32 and 36.
  • Alternate feed roller 36 is driven by the attached pulley 37 which is driven by the motor 48 through a belt 39.
  • the motor pulley 51 is the driver for the belt driven roller pulleys 33, 37, and 41.
  • the entire roller support assembly 52 is fixed to the inside of the lateral faces 13 of the housing 12.
  • the sheet paper guide 60 as shown in Fig. 4, is downwardly biased towards the rear face 15 of the exterior housing 12.
  • the curved upper portion 62 of the sheet paper guide 60 accepts tissue sheets pushed into the guide by tearing rollers 40 and 42. Paper sheets then slide down the top surface of the guide 63.
  • the guide can be coated with a material such as Teflon.
  • Teflon Teflon
  • Trapezoidal shaped cutout 66 in the middle of the guide 60, eliminates the center support for the descending tissue as it reaches the lower portion of the guide. This causes the tissue sheet to cave in the middle, and fall through the guide into the dispensing tray 18 below.
  • the device uses two photocell detectors 68 and 72 which have corresponding reflecting mirrors 70 and 74 respectively. Photocell detector 68 monitors the number of tissue sheets torn from the roll. Photocell detector 72 monitors the presence of paper in the dispensing tray 18.
  • the clutch 44 is adjusted so that the pressure on the tissue is such that it does not break the non-perforated tissue. However, when a perforated line in the tissue strip comes between the upper and lower sets of rollers, the tissue strip will break. The now separated individual tissue sheet 21 is pushed down into the tissue sheet guide 60 under the tearing rollers 40 and 42, and subsequently falls into the dispensing tray 18 below.
  • the system would equally work if rollers 32 and 34 were driven through the clutch and rollers 40 and 42 were driven directly by the motor. However, the roll of paper 30 would subsequently rotate in a less smooth and continuous manner.
  • Fig. 10 shows the individual elements of the adjustable clutch 44.
  • the driven tearing roller 40 rotates about an axial shaft 55, and is located by a support bearing 53.
  • Drive disk 43 is fixed on the shaft 55 by a keyway 57.
  • a free clutch pulley 41 is driven by the electric motor 48 through a drive belt 46.
  • the clutch pulley 43 is held against the drive disk 43 by a clutch helical coil compression spring 47, and a retaining nut 49 is threaded onto the shaft 55.
  • the spring will exert more or less force on the clutch pulley 41. This allows the amount of slip of the clutch to be varied, and therefore permits calibration of the force applied by the tearing rollers on the tissue.
  • An alternate embodiment of the present invention shown in Fig. 3, comprises two independent electric motors, namely, existing motor 48 and additional motor 76.
  • No clutch is required in this embodiment, as motor 48 drives feed rollers 32 and 36, and the additional motor 76 drives the tearing roller 40.
  • the additional motor 76 is driven with a higher voltage than the first motor 48. This difference in voltages translates directly into a difference in torques. Therefore, the motor 76, having more torque than the first motor 48, would apply a greater downward pressure on the paper tissue, thereby tearing off tissue sheets from the continuous roll .
  • the voltage difference for the alternate motor 76 is calibrated in a manner similar to the variable clutch 44 in the first embodiment .
  • the voltage difference is set to a value such that if there is no perforated line in the tissue paper between the two sets of rollers, the tissue strip will not break. However, when a perforated line in the tissue strip appears between the two sets of rollers, the tissue will tear along these perforations.
  • a sufficient discharge speed of the torn-off tissue sheets is required in order to guarantee that the tissue sheets 21 will fall through the trapezoidal cutout 66 in the guide 60 and settle in the dispensing tray 18 before the next sheet arrives. This guarantees that the individual tissue sheets 21 are stacked neatly on top of each other.
  • the user can select the number of sheets desired in the dispensed stack by presetting the sheet selector switch 24 on the lateral face 13 of the exterior housing 12, which varies the subsequent thickness of the tissue sheet pile.
  • the photocell detector 68 senses each sheet of paper as it passes through the light beam of the detector.
  • An electronic control system 97 receives the input of the photocell detector 68 and compares the number of sheets that have passed by the detector 68 to the value preset by the user with the selector switch 24. When these two numbers are equal, the drive motor is stopped by the control system 97.
  • the photo detector 72 senses that the pile of sheets in the dispensing tray 18 has been removed, the motor is activated, and the cycle restarts delivering another pile of sheets into the dispensing tray.
  • the motor When the load paper button 28 on the exterior of the casing 12 is pushed, the motor is similarly started and runs until the preset number of individual tissue sheets have been dispensed into the tray. If the photocell detector 68 fails to sense paper for a preset time period, the motor will automatically stop, and the out-of-paper indicator 26 on the exterior of the casing 12 will light up.
  • the device could be equally used in other applications requiring larger systems, such as paper toweling or sheet paper ' production. Similarly, this system could replace boxed facial tissue when used in commercial establishments. Additional features which would prevent the abuse of the device can be easily introduced through the control system 97, such as fixing a maximum number of tissue sheets which can be dispensed at one time, and presetting a delay time before subsequent tissue sheets are dispensed following the removal of a stack of tissue sheets.
  • FIG. 5 shows an alternate embodiment of the tissue dispensing device.
  • a double dispenser system 78 comprises a double system exterior housing 80 enclosing two individual tissue dispensing devices 10, as previously described. This system solves the problem associated with a single roll dispensing device running out of paper. Such a double dispenser system is necessary for commercial uses. Commercial establishments, such as restaurants and hotel ' s, are reluctant to leave partially used rolls in the roll dispensing holders in the event that a partial roll will not be sufficient. Full spare rolls left unattended can be stolen or incorrectly inserted into the dispenser by the user. Dispenser holders which stack one roll above the other are not ideal, as the stacked rolls impede the bottom dispensing roll from turning.
  • Two individual rolls side by side do not adequately solve the problem either, as there is no way to ensure that users will use the smallest roll first. This increases the likelihood that two partially used rolls will remain. Attendants then have to replace the partially used rolls with full ones in order to ensure a sufficient quantity is supplied.
  • a solution is to use two identical dispensing systems in one single enclosure with an electronic switch-over from one system to another when the smallest roll is completely used up. In this way, there is also a backup system should one fail .
  • Two additional photocell detectors 82 are provided on the interior wall 81 of the double system housing 80. Corresponding reflecting mirrors 84 on the interior of the lateral faces 83 of the housing 80 reflect back the light beam from the photocell detectors when a paper roll is empty. When a photocell detector 82 senses that one roll is used beyond a preset level, the system automatically dispenses paper from the smallest roll, making sure that the roll will be completely finished before switching to the fuller roll.
  • Fig. 6 shows an alternate embodiment of the tearing rollers 40 and 42.
  • rollers 86 and 88 are formed having an interfitting wavy profile, which gives the paper passed through the rollers added rigidity. This prevents tissue sheets from them curling backwards as they slide down the tissue sheet guide 60.
  • FIG. 7 Another embodiment of the present invention is shown in Fig. 7.
  • One potential problem with the device is that a paper roll which is not correctly inserted or which for some other reason moves laterally as it is pulled through rollers 32 and 34, can become jammed.
  • a solution to. this problem is to replace one or both feed rollers 32 and 34 having a uniform circumferential surface, with rollers 94 and 96 which have a double-convex longitudinal profile such that they are generally cylindrical but have a circular cross-section which gradually decreases towards the ends of the roller.
  • two control system activated solenoids 90 and 92 can provide slight rotation of the rollers about a vertical central axis through roller lever arms 91 or 93.
  • Two additional sensors a left photocell 102 with corresponding light emitting diode 104 ⁇ and a right photocell 106 with corresponding light emitting diode 108, are positioned on opposing ends of the sensing and serrating assembly 110, such that they are located on either side of the descending tissue strip 19. If the continuous tissue strip wanders too far to one side, the photocell on the corresponding side will sense the presence of the tissue, and the control system will activate the opposing solenoid side in order to recenter the tissue strip. The curve of the rollers 94 and 96 , and their relative rotation when the solenoids are activated, will re-align the off center tissue strip.
  • Fig. 8a shows such a system in normal operation.
  • Fig. 8b shows the case where the tissue strip has moved laterally to the left in the drawing, and the rollers are squeezed together on the opposite side, creating a pulling center to the right side of the tissue strip, thereby recentering the strip.
  • Fig. 8c shows the same situation, but for a strip that has strayed to the opposite side of center.
  • Activating both solenoids simultaneously permits the rollers to be completely removed from contact with each other. This removes the pressure put on the tissue strip and allows the strip to pass through the device without being broken. This permits a continuous sheet to be delivered if desired.
  • the tissue feed slot 109, between the opposing halves of the sensing and serrating assembly 110 helps guide the descending tissue strip between the sets of rollers.
  • the rolled tissue may not be preperforated into individual sheets .
  • the embodiment shown in Fig. 7 permits the serration of such a tissue roll.
  • a comb-like serrator assembly 111 comprises a serrator base 114, serrator blades 116, and a dedicated solenoid 112. Corresponding holes 117 for the serrator blades 116 are located in the opposing half of the sensing and serrating assembly 110, as shown in Figs. 7 and 9.
  • the solenoid 112 When the serrator is activated by the solenoid 112, the sharp edges of the serrator blades are pushed through the stretched paper tissue, causing it to break.
  • a control system detects if the inserted roll of tissue is non- perforated and switches automatically to the program for providing serrations using the serrator assembly 111. This allows the use of both perforated and non-perforated tissue.

Abstract

La présente invention concerne un système de distribution automatique de papier mouchoir enroulé, qui comprend un boîtier, dans lequel se trouve un élément d'avance de papier mouchoir comprenant une paire de rouleaux d'alimentation qui tirent le produit en papier mouchoir depuis un rouleau de produit en papier mouchoir à enroulement continu et font avancer le papier mouchoir jusqu'à un élément de séparation de feuille comprenant une paire de rouleaux de déchirure qui détachent les feuilles de papier mouchoir individuelles du rouleau continu. Un guide permet aux feuilles de papier mouchoir issues des rouleaux de déchirure de reposer horizontalement et d'être empilées dans un plateau de distribution auquel l'utilisateur a accès. Un moteur électrique entraîne lesdits rouleaux. Les rouleaux de déchirure sont entraînés par l'intermédiaire d'un embrayage variable, à une vitesse supérieure à celle des rouleaux d'alimentation, ce qui provoque la déchirure du papier mouchoir le long de ses perforations entre les deux ensembles de rouleaux. Un premier photodétecteur contrôle le nombre de feuilles de papier mouchoir issues des rouleaux de déchirure et un second photodétecteur contrôle la présence de feuilles de papier mouchoir dans le plateau de distribution. Lorsqu'une pile de feuilles de papier mouchoir est extraite du plateau de distribution, le second détecteur active le moteur qui permet de distribuer des feuilles de papier mouchoir dans le plateau de distribution, jusqu'à ce que le nombre de feuilles présélectionné par l'utilisateur ait été dénombré par le premier détecteur.
