Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a device for dispensing foliage articles on a roll, for example bags for collecting dog droppings, or bags for wrapping fruits and vegetables, or disposable gloves allowing a user to use. fuel to a gas pump without getting your hands dirty.
  • foliate articles is understood to denote any article of substantially planar shape made from any material in the form of a sheet such as plastic or paper for example.
  • the document JP 2015-3747 A describes a dispensing device according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • WO 2016/124848 A1 describes a dispensing device using a dispensing orifice of circular shape defined by the juxtaposition of several flexible lips providing a progressive narrowing of said dispensing orifice.
  • the document EP 0 109 343 A1 describes a dispensing device using a dispensing orifice defined between two rigid lips movable in translation one away from the other and permanently biased towards each other for a pinching effect of the foliated article engaged in the dispensing orifice.
  • a dispenser as described in document EP 2,083,659 B1 , comprising a housing adapted to receive said roll of foliated articles in rotation about a longitudinal axis.
  • the housing has a dispensing opening through which the articles can be extracted foliated out of the housing, said dispensing opening comprising a slot extending parallel to said longitudinal axis and defined between two flexible and flat lips which come into contact with the foliated article when it leaves.
  • this distributor means for braking the rotation of the roller by means of lateral flanges, fixed relative to the housing and coming by pressing to bear on the ends of the roller. foliate articles. The fact that users have to force to extract an item deters them from taking too much.
  • a first drawback of this distribution device is that the braking means increase its manufacturing cost.
  • a second drawback is that the resistance induced by the braking means that a user must overcome is a function of the diameter of the roll of foliage articles.
  • the foliated articles are generally connected to each other by pre-cutouts provided to break under a constant predefined tensile force when the article following the extracted article begins to exit through the slot of the dispensing opening.
  • the dispenser is then “defused”: no foliated article protruding through the slot of the dispensing opening, making any extraction by a user impossible. Since the housing is generally locked, the intervention of a technician is then necessary to “re-prime” the dispenser by unlocking and opening the housing and by inserting a part of the following foliated article through the slot of the dispensing opening.
  • the roller can be driven in rapid rotation around the longitudinal axis.
  • the roller has a non-negligible inertia, in particular when it is relatively recent (and therefore has a large diameter).
  • a problem proposed by the present invention is to design a reliable, simple and inexpensive dispenser making it possible to distribute follower articles while limiting on the one hand the risks of vandalism and looting by successive frantic taking of articles, and by limiting d on the other hand, the risks of untimely deactivation.
  • the invention provides a device for dispensing foliated articles in a strip wound in the form of a roll, said device comprising a housing adapted to receive said roll in rotation about an axis. longitudinal, said casing comprising a dispensing opening through which the leaf articles can be extracted from the casing, said dispensing opening comprising a slot extending parallel to said longitudinal axis and defined between two flexible lips forming a first surface on the outer side of the casing. housing and forming a second surface on the inner side of the housing, characterized in that, in section along a transverse plane, the first surface has along the slot a convexity which is greater than that of the second surface.
  • the lips provide different retention depending on the direction in which a leaf article is pulled through the slot.
  • the lips more easily allow the foliated article to pass towards the outside of the housing, and exert a greater retention of the foliated article when the latter tends to be swallowed inside the housing, which limits the risks of untimely deactivation.
  • the second surface can be substantially planar.
  • the second surface may be concave to even better allow the leaf articles to pass to the outside of the housing.
  • the first surface may be substantially in the form of a dihedron.
  • a foliate article tends to be tucked inside the housing, there is a pinching of the foliage between the lips at the upper edge of the dihedron.
  • the dihedron can have an angle of less than 90 degrees. Such an angle makes it possible not to stiffen the lips too much, which would hamper the extraction of articles from the casing, while providing a strong pinching of the foliated article tending to be swallowed inside the casing.
  • Such cutouts are particularly useful in the case of foliated articles in strip of the type "shoulder bags".
  • the straps of one bag are connected to the bottom of the next bag by pre-cutouts.
  • the sections of the lips located longitudinally between the cutouts remain firmly in place and are not lifted by the traction carried out on the straps .
  • the next bag begins to come out of the case through the slot, its bottom rubs, on the one hand on the sections of lips which rubbed on the straps of the previous bag, on the other hand on the sections of the lips located longitudinally. between the cuts.
  • the bag pulled by the user is thus automatically released while retaining the device initiated by passing the next bag through the slot.
  • the first and second transverse cutouts can be situated, away from the first and second ends of the slot, at a distance of between approximately 1.5 cm and approximately 5 cm.
  • the lips thus comprise end sections, located between the cutouts and the first and second ends of the slot, and which come to exert a satisfactory friction against the straps.
  • the dispensing device may include roller receiving means allowing free rotation of the roller about the longitudinal axis.
  • the device is thus simple and inexpensive to manufacture. And the risk of inadvertent breakage of the pre-cutouts inside the housing is reduced.
  • This dispensing device 1 is intended for dispensing foliated articles in a strip 2 wound in the form of a roll 3.
  • the device 1 comprises a housing 4 capable of receiving said roll 3 in rotation about a longitudinal axis I-I.
  • the distribution device 1 comprises receiving means 14 allowing free rotation of the roller 3 about the longitudinal axis II.
  • the receiving means 14 comprise two substantially frustoconical points 14a and 14b, integral with the housing 4 and fixed with respect to the latter, between which is disposed in free rotation a tube 30 around which is wound the strip 2 forming the roll 3 ( figure 2 ).
  • the substantially frustoconical points 14a and 14b are engaged in the tube 30 to maintain the latter along the longitudinal axis 1-1.
  • substantially frustoconical tips 14a and 14b can press the tube 30 together, but being themselves in free rotation with respect to the housing around the longitudinal axis I-I.
  • the casing 4 comprises a dispensing opening 5 through which the foliated articles can be extracted out of the casing 4 along a transverse axis II-II, said dispensing opening 5 comprising a slot 6 extending parallel to said longitudinal axis II and defined between two flexible lips 7 and 8 forming a first surface S1 on the exterior side 9 of the housing 4 and forming a second surface S2 on the interior side 10 of the housing 4.
  • the first surface S1 presents along the slot 6 (that is to say along a part at least of the length of the slot 6) a convexity which is greater than that of the second surface S2.
  • the second surface S2 is substantially planar while, in the transverse plane PT, the first surface S1 is substantially in the form of a convex dihedron 11.
  • the dihedron 11 has here an angle A less than 180 degrees and greater than 90 degrees. However, an angle A of less than 90 degrees may be preferred.
  • the first 12 and second 13 transverse cuts are located, away from the first 6a and second 6b ends of the slot 6, at distances D1 and D2 of between approximately 1.5 cm and approximately 5 cm.
  • cutouts 18a to 18d can be made along the slot 6.
  • the device 1 is presented as illustrated on the figures 1 to 3 , with a bag 15 protruding slightly from the housing 4 through the slot 6 of the dispensing opening 5.
  • the flexible lips 7 and 8 are in the position shown on the figure 7 , in which they slightly pinch, depending on their thickness, the bag 15 between their free ends 7a and 8a.
  • a user pulls along the transverse axis II-II on the bag 15 by gripping it by its part projecting outside the housing 4. This movement is illustrated by arrow 16.
  • the bag 15 is still engaged through the slot 6 of the dispensing opening 5, but only along its straps 15a and 15b.
  • the straps 15a and 15b are connected to the bottom 19c of the next bag 19 by pre-cuts 20 and 21 illustrated schematically by broken lines.
  • the straps 15a and 15b having a width less than D1 and D2, the bag 15 only rubs against the lips 7 and 8 according to the section of lips located between the end 6a and the cutout 12 and according to the section of lips located between the 'end 6b and the cutout 13. The bag no longer rubs against the lips 7 and 8 between the cutouts 12 and 13.
  • the tensile force exerted by the user, when performing the movement illustrated by the arrow 16, decreases thus from the moment when the straps 15a and 15b pass through the slot 6.
  • the bag 15 has thus been dispensed, while automatically leaving the bottom 19c of the next bag 19 to protrude in order to keep the device 1 primed.
  • the roller 3 can, after the next bag 19 has reached the position shown in the figure. figure 6 , continue to rotate around the longitudinal axis 1-1 under the effect of its inertia. After a partial unwinding of the roll 3 in the housing 4, there may be a rewinding (in the opposite direction) of the roll 3, which then generates a traction on the following bag 19 according to a movement illustrated according to arrow 22 (reverse to that illustrated by arrow 16).
  • the second surface S2 is concave. Be that as it may, the first surface S1 always has a convexity along the slot 6 which is greater than that of the second surface S2.
  • the operation of these lips 7 and 8 is similar in all respects to that explained in connection with the figures 1 to 9 .
