Description
8~374 1 E`:[ELD OF Tll INVENTION
The present invention relates to a dispenser for dispensing serviettes and the like.
BACKG~OUND OF THE INVENTION
There are presently available, man~ different types of serviette dispensers which are used in restaurants directly at the serving counter or at each of the individual tables. The bulk of these disperlsers are often awkward to load. A common example of à serviette dispenser which is awkward to work with is one which comprises an inner unit housed within an outer casing. The outer casing rather than the inner unit is provided with a pusher pla-te which moves forwardly, through the open rear end of the inner unit. As the inner unit is removed from the casing, the pusher plate moves to the front of the casing. In order to reload, the serviettes are placed in the open ended inner unit and must be manually held in position while the inner unit is fitted back into the casing. ~t the same time, the spring loaded pusher plate must be pushed to the rear of the casing to permit insertion of the inner unit. One person is usually assigned the job of loading these dis-pensers and as will be appreciated from the above, the load-ing job is very difficult for that one person.
Other types of dispensing units have been devel-oped in which the pusher plate is fitted in the inner uni-t but is opera-ted by a casing con-trolled spring mechanism which extends from the casing in-to the inner unit after which the pusher plate is fitted into position. ~ccording to this arrangement, the pusher plate must be removed from the inner unit in order to allow its withdrawal from, the 1 . casing. The inner unit ls then loaded and the pusher plate must be refitted back into the inner unit in order to rein-sert the inner unit into the casing. Again, loading of this type of unit is ex-tremely awkward for one person.
A further difficulty according to the prior art arrangements described above, is that the inner unit can not be used separately from the casing.because the pusher plate and/or the mechanism for operating the pusher plate is provided in the casing rather than directly in the inner unit.
This restricts the type of usage for the prior art dispensers and at the same time, increases cost for replacement parts.
The present invention provides a dispenser for dispensing serviettes and the like, which overcomes these drawbacks of the prior art arrangements~ The present inven-tion dispenser comprises an open topped full drawer having a forward dispensing opening and a dispensing mechanlsm contained directly within the drawer. As such, the drawer is usable either in conjunction with an outer shroud or independently of the shroud. The dispensina mechanism it-self, comprises a pusher member which is spring loaded tomove toward the dispensing opening of the drawer and guide means in the drawer for guiding the pusher member as it moves in the drawer.
As a result of the provision of the dispensing mechanism directly within the drawer, the drawer is, as mentioned above, operational independently of the shroud.
However, a second feature resulting from the dispensing mechanism arrangement is that the pusher member can be lo-cated in the drawer in a loading position which leaves one of the attendantls hands free, for loading of the serviettes

DETAILED DESCRIPTION ~CCORDING TO THE
p FFERRED EMBODI~IENTS OF THE PRESENT INVENTION
Figure l shows one embodimen-t of the invention in which a dispensing drawer 3 is housed within an outer shroud 1. Figure 2 shows the drawer removed from the shroud which is open at its forward end 2. Drawer 3 has an open top 9 and a forward dispensing opening 11. The drawer is addition-ally provided with a rear endwall 13 and a pair of upstanding sidewalls 15, as shown in Figure 6.
Shroud 1 also has a rear end wall indicated at 5 in Figure 5. End wall 5 is provlded with a hook receiving catch 8 and an access opening 7 while the drawer is provided with a spring loaded hook member 17. -When the drawer is fitted into the shroud as shown in Figure 1, hook 17 auto-matically locks onto catch 8. In order to remove the drawer20 from the casing, hook 17 is released through opening 7 and the drawer is slid outwardly. It should be noted that open-ing 7 is large enough to permit quick and easy access to clip 17 through the back of the shroud.
Drawer 3 is usable totally independently of shroud 1 and as such, may be installed directly into a counter or the llke, either in the horizontal position shown in the figures or in a vertical position. It should be noted that due to the provision of rear endwall 13 the serviettes will not fall out of the drawer when in the vertical position.
l Furthermore, the counter may be provided with a clip receiv-ing opening remote from the customer side of the counter to prevent any tampering -to the dispensing drawer and at the same time, to allow quick and easy withdrawal of the drawer from the counter by an au-thorized attendant.
Provided interiorly of the dispensing drawer and totally independently of the shroud, is a dispensing mechan-ism comprising a pusher plate l9, a housing portion 21, extending rearwardly from the pusher plate as best shown in Figure 7; a pair of guide tracks 23 secured to -the sidewalls ;
of the drawer and a pair of coil springs 25 secured within the housing portion and uncoiling through the open sides 22 of housing 21.
The coil springs are set up to urge the pusher member toward the dispensing opening by securing the free end of each spring to the drawer wall adjacent the dispens-ing opening. Therefore, as the pusher member is moved rear-wardly in the drawe~ the coil springs uncoil by virtue o~
their connection to the front of the drawer. The memory of the springs urges them to recoil which pulls the pusher plate and the housing back towards the front of the drawer.
The pusher assembly is guided by trac]cs 23 as it slides in the drawer. The guide tracks are located approx-imately centrally of the drawer walls while housing portion 21, which extends completely across the back of the pusher plate, is positioned approximately centrally of the pusher mechanism. The central loca-tion of the guide tracks and pusher housing as well as the substantial horizontal ex-tension of the housing assures a smooth even sliding action
into the drawer. Once the serviettes have been loaded, the pusher member is then released from the loading position to urge the serviettes or whatever other articles are dispen-sed from the-dispense:r toward the dispensing opening. The pressure applied upon the serviettes by the pusher maintains them in the loaded position, leaving both hands free to locate the dispensing drawer where it is desired, i.e., in its shroud if necessary.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION ~CCORDING TO THE
p FFERRED EMBODI~IENTS OF THE PRESENT INVENTION
Figure l shows one embodimen-t of the invention in which a dispensing drawer 3 is housed within an outer shroud 1. Figure 2 shows the drawer removed from the shroud which is open at its forward end 2. Drawer 3 has an open top 9 and a forward dispensing opening 11. The drawer is addition-ally provided with a rear endwall 13 and a pair of upstanding sidewalls 15, as shown in Figure 6.
Shroud 1 also has a rear end wall indicated at 5 in Figure 5. End wall 5 is provlded with a hook receiving catch 8 and an access opening 7 while the drawer is provided with a spring loaded hook member 17. -When the drawer is fitted into the shroud as shown in Figure 1, hook 17 auto-matically locks onto catch 8. In order to remove the drawer20 from the casing, hook 17 is released through opening 7 and the drawer is slid outwardly. It should be noted that open-ing 7 is large enough to permit quick and easy access to clip 17 through the back of the shroud.
Drawer 3 is usable totally independently of shroud 1 and as such, may be installed directly into a counter or the llke, either in the horizontal position shown in the figures or in a vertical position. It should be noted that due to the provision of rear endwall 13 the serviettes will not fall out of the drawer when in the vertical position.
l Furthermore, the counter may be provided with a clip receiv-ing opening remote from the customer side of the counter to prevent any tampering -to the dispensing drawer and at the same time, to allow quick and easy withdrawal of the drawer from the counter by an au-thorized attendant.
Provided interiorly of the dispensing drawer and totally independently of the shroud, is a dispensing mechan-ism comprising a pusher plate l9, a housing portion 21, extending rearwardly from the pusher plate as best shown in Figure 7; a pair of guide tracks 23 secured to -the sidewalls ;
of the drawer and a pair of coil springs 25 secured within the housing portion and uncoiling through the open sides 22 of housing 21.
The coil springs are set up to urge the pusher member toward the dispensing opening by securing the free end of each spring to the drawer wall adjacent the dispens-ing opening. Therefore, as the pusher member is moved rear-wardly in the drawe~ the coil springs uncoil by virtue o~
their connection to the front of the drawer. The memory of the springs urges them to recoil which pulls the pusher plate and the housing back towards the front of the drawer.
The pusher assembly is guided by trac]cs 23 as it slides in the drawer. The guide tracks are located approx-imately centrally of the drawer walls while housing portion 21, which extends completely across the back of the pusher plate, is positioned approximately centrally of the pusher mechanism. The central loca-tion of the guide tracks and pusher housing as well as the substantial horizontal ex-tension of the housing assures a smooth even sliding action
3~ with essentially no binding or the pusher plate.
~887~
1 ~ Furthermore, springs 25 uncoil direc-tly in the guide tracks, which also enhances the smooth travel of the pusher plate and its housing.
Guide tracks 23 extend over subs-tan-tially the en-tire length of the dispensing drawer. As such, the pusher plate is slidable from a forward position in which it is adjacent the dispensing opening to a rearward loading position, away from the dispensing opening as shown in Figure 6.
As shown in Figure 4, the drawer is easily loaded by a single individual by merely pulling the pusher plate rearwardly in the drawer and holding it in -the loading position in one hand using the rear wall for leverage. This leaves the other hand freeto load a bundle B of ser-viet-tes, which according to conventional practice, is secured in a wrapper, into the drawer. After -the bundle is loaded, the wrapper is removed and the plate is released to urge the serviettes towards the dispensing opening.
This dispensing opening itself comprises a mouth portion surrounded exteriorly by a plurali-ty of lip portions one along each edge of the mouth portion. These lip portions curve gently outwardly away from the mouth portion and facil-itate the removal of serviettes through the dispensing open-ing.
The formed dispensing opening itself, is slightly smaller than the folded servie-ttes but permits them to be withdrawn one by one, from the opening. As the serviettes are withdrawn, the pusher plate forces -the entire bundle forwardly in the drawer, so that a new serviette is presented to the dispensing opening. The tension provided by the coil spring is such that the pusher plate will push even the las-t -few serviettes to the dispensing opening un-til the drawer is ~L~98i37~1L
1emptied so -tha-t there is positive dispensing of the en-tire bundle. When the drawer is empty, the pusher plate can be seen through the dispensing opening. The attendan-t can then remove the drawer from i-ts housing whether it be an e~ternal shroud as shown in the drawings, or a table counter, as described above, to refill the drawer with a new serviette bundle.
Although, the description above is related to the :
dispensing of Eolded serviettes, the dispener of the present invention can also be used for the dispensing of other similar items, which can be pulled out through the dispensing opening. Furthermore, it will now be apparent that the load-ing and maneuvering of the dispenser drawer can easily be attended to by one indi.vidual and is not restricted to use with a specific type of housing.
Therefore, although various preferred embodiments of the invention have been described herein in detail, it will be apparent to one skilled in the art, that variations may be made thereto, without departing from the spirit of ~0 the invention or the scope of the appended claims.
