Definitions

• the invention relates to a dispenser for sanitary articles, such as soap, paper, etc., with a wall bracket and with a dispenser having a cover.
• Such dispensers are known in a variety of configurations and generally include a wall mount to which the dispenser or dispenser housing may be secured.
• a user-directed cover is provided mainly for optical reasons and extends in general so on the dispensing device that a view behind it is difficult or not possible from an oblique angle.
• the wall mount can also be formed by a wall mounting housing, which can be inserted into a corresponding recess or wall opening, and may have a frame-like creafiansch, which covers the edge of the wall opening mainly for optical reasons.
• Premises in which such dispensers are mounted on the wall are generally rather dimly lit or equipped with motion sensors which only switch on the lighting in the room when a movement is detected in order to save energy. Since it would be advantageous to capture the positioning of one or more donors in limitedly illuminated premises as soon as possible upon entry, according to the invention, the edge of the cover is at least partially backlit in a donor of the type mentioned. The lighting is indirect in this way and there is no glare, because the view of the bulb is not possible even at an angle.
• One way of backlighting the edge of the cover provides that the cover is transient, at least at the edge, so that a light strip can be seen through the edge.
• an example, groove-like gap between the wall bracket and the cover, in which the light source is arranged the light is emitted through the gap.
• the wall mount can have reflective properties have, whereby the radiated from the light source to the wall bracket Uchtanteil is reflected in the room.
• the result for the container is an optically relatively uniform band of light which framed the edge of the cover in a manner similar to a "halo."
• a diffuser can also be provided in front of the luminous means in order to attenuate any reflecting points of light.
• Aisle is preferably a band with several juxtaposed LEDs, in particular RGB LEDs, which is flexible and carries a Seibstkiebebeschtchtung so that it under the edge of the cover at a suitable location on the cover, on the dispenser or on the housing, or can also be glued to the wall bracket. The exact location is unimportant, it only has to backlight the edge of the cover.
• Other flexible bulbs can be used, for example, an electroluminescent strip, an electroluminescent cable, etc.
• the color of the light emitted by the LED band light may be selectable or presettable, as desired by the user. It can also be provided a controller for the light source, for example, to change the color fluently, in which case preferably a power supply unit is provided for connection to an external power source. In particular, in this case, a lighting in different colors can also be used to display information about the donor, for example on the level, to display a disturbance, etc.
• the wall mount may be formed in a customary manner, adapted to the dispensing device or its housing, so that it need not be discussed in detail.
• a preferred embodiment, in which the effect of the backlight appears particularly conspicuous, provides that the dispenser can be at least partially recessed in the wall, and for this purpose has a wall mounting housing as a wall bracket.
• the dispenser is preferably provided with a frame-like wall abutment flange, and the cover covers the wall anvil, with the exception of a lower engagement opening for removal of the sanitary article.
• the receiving opening is illuminated with.
• FIG. 2 is a side view of a dispenser inserted into a wall recess
• Fig. 3 is a side view of a wall attached to a donor
• a dispenser for mounting on or in a wall 1 has a dispensing device 3 arranged in a housing 11, which is covered by a front cover 4.
• the cover 4 is usually apparent in order to refill the sanitary product to be dispensed by the dispenser, such as soap, paper, etc., can.
• the dispensing device 3 has an engagement or dispensing opening 9 in the lower region.
• the dispenser is provided with a wall bracket 2 to which the dispensing device 3 can be fixed by means of suitable connecting means.
• the wall mount 2 can, as shown in FIG. 2, be formed by a fixable in a niche or recess of the wall 1 wall mounting housing 7, which has a frame-like circumferential Wandstromflansch 8.
• the dispenser is partially sunk in the wall 1 and protrudes from the wall 1 only over part of its depth.
• the edge 6 of the cover 4 projects beyond the dispensing device 3 or its housing 11 on at least three sides, wherein a gap 5 exists between the edge 6 of the cover 4 and the housing 11 or its wall contact flange 8 remains free.
• the edge 6 covers a provided within the cover 4 on the housing 11 Leuchtmittei, in particular an LED strip 10 with a plurality of LEDs 18, which is provided with a Seibstklebebe harshung and adhered to the housing 11 so that the edge 6 of the cover 4 is backlit.
• RGB LEDs is such a belt 10 sold by the meter and radiates light in selectable color.
• the light beams 15 emitted from the LED tape 10 are directly covered by the edge 6 of the cover 4, but reflected by the WandanSageflansch 8 and the wall 1 in the room, so that the viewer a narrow and at least three-sided light strip appears.
• the Wandhaittation 2 of the embodiment of FIG. 3 is formed by at least one wall mounting plate od. Like., At the back of the dispenser housing 11 can be suspended and fixed. In this type of mounting the dispenser is in its entire depth from the wall 1 from.
• the light-emitting strip 10 is recessed in the intermediate space 5, so that here, too, the edge 6 appears backlit when the observer is in a conventional position in front of or at an angle to the dispenser.
• the illuminated strip is limited to the relatively narrow gap 5, while in Fig. 3 by the relatively large distance between the edge 6 of the cover 4 and the wall 1 of the illuminated appearing strip is wider, but the luminance is lower.
• spaced punctiform light sources can be provided so that the backlighting of the rim 6 can be seen as a beloved alternation of darker and saner sections.
• the cover 4 can rest with its edge 6 directly on the wall 1, when an edge strip of the cover 4 is translucent, so that a light band is visible through the edge strip.
• a light source which emits, for example, green and / or red light
• this can also be used to provide status information about the dispenser, For example, its operational readiness in green, its empty state in red and a due refill in red-green.
