Description

Closing device for hand towel dispensing container

The present application relates to a closure device for a towel dispensing container for containing towels impregnated with cleaning agent, which are placed in the container folded in such a way that they can be removed piece by piece.

Closures for layered articles such as wetted towels are known in the art and comprise two parts or components, one of which is a lid which fits over the container through a slot. on the opening and can be separated from the opening of the container for placing layered items. The lid has a wider opening for removing layered items. The other part is a lifting/lowering cover, which is integral with the lid and is used to close said opening, so that the contents in the container are isolated from the outside, and can be opened to take out the layered articles.

These known devices suffer from several disadvantages. The towel removal aperture in some embodiments is too narrow for the dimensions of the towels when they are folded and placed in the container. This makes it difficult or impossible for the user's hands to reach the bottom of the container and easily remove the towels when there are only a few towels left in the container.

Other known embodiments of this type of closure have a very wide opening, which has the disadvantage that, when a towel is removed, the next towel is drawn out together with it. Another disadvantage is that the larger the opening, the more likely the contents of the container will come into contact with the outside environment and become contaminated.

Another common problem with the known embodiments of these closures is that the lid and the lift/lower flap form a one-piece molded body, while they are also connected to each other by a flexible band of material themselves, while The ribbon acts as a hinge. Such an embodiment requires a complex mold to make the two-piece element of the device. Also, the hinge forming the flexible band between the two parts has the disadvantage that the closure part cannot be stably positioned when the closure part is in the fully open state.

In order to overcome the above-mentioned disadvantages, a closure device for towel containers according to the present invention has been devised.

The essential feature of the device is that the opening of the lid has a profile wide enough to allow the hand to reach into the container, while the edges forming the profile are rounded so that when the user inserts the hand through the opening into the container, The edges won't scratch your hands.

Lids and flaps were originally two separate parts that were hinged together by a hinge with an end stop that stabilized the flap in the open position.

The opening of the cover is located in a flat concave portion surrounded by a rim forming a channel around the concave portion and a lip around the cover plate which when the cover plate is put down When onto the lid, the lip fits into the channel.

In the channel in the recessed part of the lid there are teeth against which the lip of the lid member is secured under pressure when in the closed position.

A gripping tongue protrudes from the front of the cover part, and a notch is provided on the cover at a position complementary to the position of said tongue, in order to facilitate gripping of said tongue piece.

In order to better understand what is described in this specification, some drawings are used herein to show an embodiment of a closure device for a towel dispensing container by way of example only. In the attached picture:

Figure 1 is a perspective view of the device in an open state,

Fig. 2 is a longitudinal sectional view of the cover.

In the figures, the device comprises two bodies 1 and 2 , which are initially separated and which, when assembled, are connected together by a hinge 3 .

The body 1 has an outer lip 4 for fitting the body 1 as a lid over the opening of the container 5 . A large part of the main body 1 is a flat recessed portion 6, in the middle of the recessed portion 6 there is a wide opening 7, the entire opening 7 is surrounded by a rounded edge 8, so that when the user wants to take the container When putting the last towel 9 left in the container through the opening, avoid scratching the user's hand.

The opening 7 is wide enough to allow hands to pass through it, but is smaller than the folded towel 9 so that when taking out a towel folded with the shape of the immediately following towel, the second towel will not be caught. Drag it out and the two hand towels will separate at this moment. And, if the width of the opening is made as small as possible under the condition that the hand can be stretched in, then the towel 9 in the container 5 can be more protected and possible pollution can be avoided.

The concave part 6 (Fig. 2) has a protruding rim 10 whose shape is similar to that of the opening itself and forms a channel 11, when the cover plate or part 2 is placed on the part 1 or cover 1, the cover plate Or the lip 12 of the part 2 engages in the channel 11 .

A front tongue 13 for opening and closing is provided on the cover plate or part 2 . To accommodate the tongue, the lid 1 has a notch 14 to facilitate gripping the tongue when the lid or part 2 is in the closed position. In addition, the cover 1 has a pair of claws 15 against which the front part of its lip 12 is pressed against when the cover or part 2 is in the closed position so as to maintain the closed position. of stability.

The hinge 3 which hinges the parts 1, 2 to each other allows the part 2 to be conveniently rotated. It also has a protruding part abutting against an end stop 16 for stabilizing the part 2 in the open position.

In summary, the closure device described above facilitates the removal of the towels from the container one by one. At the same time, it protects the towel from contamination and allows the last towel to be easily removed. Also, the cover plate 2 is provided with means to stabilize it in an upright position so as not to interfere with the removal of the towel. The device also has means for stabilizing the closed state of the cover.

The materials used to manufacture the individual parts of the device, the shape and dimensions of the device and all accessories that may be used are irrelevant for the purposes of the present invention, so long as they do not affect the essence of the device.
