Description

New paper container / dispenser hygienic.

Object of the invention

The present invention relates to a new toilet paper container / dispenser, specially designed to supply a larger amount of paper per unit volume occupied by the device, materialized in a container / dispenser trained to be fully occupied by paper and equipped with means for unit extraction of fragments of the same.

The paper is placed inside the container / dis-
thinker forming a stack, so that each paper unit or module is independent of the others and is easily removable from the container / dispenser.

The invention also concerns the special configuration that adopts the role within the container / dispenser

The container / dispenser is applicable both at the domestic level, in bathrooms and the like, as at the level of public establishments, and it comes to solve a remarkable problem of space, both in transport and storage.

Background of the invention

As is known, toilet paper is marketed for a long time in roll form, that is, to from a continuous band of paper, with transverse lines die cut for fragmentation, a band that rolls over a tubular core, as an axis, of cardboard, which, in parallel facilitates its coupling to the complementary dispenser, of which There are countless types.

The problem generated by this form of Toilet paper presentation focuses primarily on the following aspects:

-

its roll shape, with a hollow shaft and considerable diameter, determines an important volumetric occupation, which affects negatively in the storage and transportation costs of product.

-

its continuous fractional band configuration makes such fragmentation is at the discretion of the user, who usually Oversize portions or units of paper, with consumption excessive of it.

-

The possible deficiencies in the continuous band die cutting they often make it difficult to tear paper in the area chosen and appropriate.

Description of the invention

The new paper container / dispenser hygienic that the invention proposes fully resolves satisfactory the problems described above, in the Different aspects commented.

To do this, and more specifically, the container / dispenser recommended is constituted from a rectangular prismatic container, preferably prismatic quadrangular, considerably elongated vertically, endowed in which its upper extremity must be a cover of access to the interior thereof, said body being endowed, in which in turn it will be your back face, of a pair of strips adhesives that allow its wall fixing in the correct position of job.

The aforementioned body is intended to accommodate a battery of paper units, each of which is constituted by a band equipped with two transverse folding lines which define three substantially equal sectors, destined to bending down to constitute a triple body that is stabilized by  any medium, such as by means of a dot in your area corresponding marginal, so that the dimensions of this unit, after folding, are substantially coincident with the cross section of the body, in which they are intended to fit tightly. You can also have paper in a single sheet, of desired weight, with the same performance than the three paper sections that form the triple body before described

For the unitary extraction of said units of paper, the aforementioned body incorporates, in which its face must be lateral lateral, two determining longitudinal lines of climbing of a tear strip that, after its removal, configures a window that affects the entire height of the body and through which the paper units are removable, taking each of them with the hand, by its front edge, through said window.

\hbox{del dispensador.}

It is also provided that, between the two longitudinal climbing lines mentioned, a plurality of uniformly distributed transverse climbing lines be established, which allow the said tear strip to be fragmented, so that instead of totally eliminating it when starting consumption of the content of the dispenser, said tearing occurs in a fractional form, that is, that sectors of the tear strip are eliminated, as the consumption of the content is produced

 \ hbox {of the dispenser.} 

These transverse lines of climbing will be conveniently distanced to constitute in parallel marking elements, which allow visually control the number of paper units available at any time.

The top lid of the container has the obvious purpose of allowing the load of the body with the stack of units of paper, so that it can be kept closed during consumption of the latter, but if under any circumstances it was intended keep said lid open, it is expected that it incorporates also a small portion of adhesive that allows its fixation to the wall in such an open position.

Description of the drawings

To complement the description that is being performing and in order to help a better understanding of the characteristics of the invention, according to a preferred example of practical realization of it, is accompanied as part member of that description, a set of drawings where with illustrative and non-limiting nature, what has been represented next:

Figure 1: Sample, according to a representation schematic in perspective, the prismatic body corresponding to a toilet paper container / dispenser made according for the purpose of the present invention.

Figure 2: shows a development in plan of a of paper units.

Figure 3: shows a profile of the unit of the previous figure, in the intermediate phase of folding.

Figure 4: shows, according to a view in perspective, the paper unit of the previous figures properly finished.

Figure 5: shows a representation similar to the Figure 1, but corresponding to the paper container / dispenser hygienic as a whole in the use phase, that is, with the strip Partially open tear.

Preferred Embodiment of the Invention

In view of the figures outlined you can be observed as in the new paper container / dispenser hygienic that the invention proposes participates a body (1), prismatic-rectangular, considerably elongated vertically, with its bottom base closed and its base upper materialized in a practicable lid (2), for example hinged with a single piece character to the body (1), a body that can be obtained from cardboard or any other material suitable semi-rigid.

The body (1) presents in which it must be its front face (3), two longitudinal or vertical lines of climbing (4) that delimit a tear strip (5) so that pulling the upper end of said strip (5), with the lid (2) open, said strip can be partially torn or totally, defining a window (6) through which they are removable the different paper units (7), of which They will talk later.

Among the aforementioned longitudinal lines of climbing (4) a plurality of climbing lines is established transverse (8) that allow the removal of the strip tear (5) does not occur at one time in its entirety, but it can be fragmented into sections (5 '), as it goes progressing the consumption of paper units (7) housed in its inside, to maintain stiffness as much as possible structural of the box as far as its assembly is concerned, during the Consumption of its content.

The body (1) will also incorporate in your face later a pair of adhesive strips (9), protected by paper paraffin, silicone or similar, so that with an adhesive of contact and after the removal of said protective strips, the container (1) can be easily fixed to the wall of a room of bath or similar.

The cover (2), through which the container load (1) will preferably be kept closed in conditions of use to also collaborate in the assembly of the body (1), but preferably you will have an adhesive point (10), on its outer face, which also allows its attachment to the wall of the bathroom, during the tear start maneuver of the strip (5) or, if desired, during the entire consumption of the paper contained in the body (1).

There is also the possibility of use of a more resistant material for the manufacture of container / dispenser, for example plastic, pvc or other material suitable, so that it is fixed on the wall and a container made of cardboard, with the paper inside, placed inside the fixed container, as a replaceable replacement.

Going back to the paper units (7), In a preferred embodiment, these form a band elongated, as shown in figure 2, provided with a pair of transversal folding lines (11) determining three sectors Dimensionally identical, intended to fold over themselves, as shown in figure 3, remaining definitely stabilized by a marginal sealing line (12), in turn visible in figure 4, which can be materialized in a line of dotted by a "comb" of punching punches, or by Any other conventional means deemed appropriate.

Each resulting paper unit (7) will be dimensionally coincident with the inner section of the container (1), and a stack of paper units (7), in appropriate numbers, is intended to occupy initially and integrally said body or container (1), which means that the occupation of space is minimum and the use of said integral space. Also, at be ready paper, overuse of paper is avoided, which is difficult to control when the user must cut manually the amount of a continuous roll, which can cause excessive paper consumption

At the time of use of the dispenser and as shown in figure 5, simply tear the strip (5) to bring up the window (6) that allows the extraction unit of paper units (7), obviously from the upper extremity of the body (1) to the lower extremity of the same, visually controlling the amount of paper (7) available, through the aforementioned window, and even being able numerically controlled and approximately such availability thanks to the presence and arrangement of transverse climbing lines (8) which may be accompanied by graphic signage quantitative

The rectangular prismatic configuration itself or quadrangular of the new container / dispenser recommended It allows the storage and transport of the same is done under much more advantageous volumetric conditions compared to known, what does not happen with conventional paper rolls hygienic, because the packages in which these rolls are grouped they take up much more space, and are more difficult to stack than the proposed container / dispenser, which has a positive impact on storage and transportation costs, with lower costs same, since more paper will fit in the same space.
