Abstract
Dispenser for dispensing web material from a roll, the dispenser including a housing and a spindle intended to rotatably support a roll of web material during dispensing. The spindle is movable between a loading position and a dispensing position. The dispenser further includes a deflecting member being movable between a protruding position protruding towards the spindle in dispensing position and a retracted position retracted into the housing away from the spindle in dispensing position. The deflecting member is connected to a blocking member moving in response to the movement of the deflecting member.
Claims23
Dispenser for dispensing web material from a roll, the dispenser comprising:
- a housing comprising an engagement slot,
- a front cover;
- wherein said front cover has a closed and opened state, said front cover comprises an engagement member arranged to interact with said engagement slot when the front cover in closed state
- a spindle intended to rotatably support a roll of web material during dispensing, said spindle being movable between a loading position and a dispensing position,
- a deflecting member being movable between a protruding position protruding towards said spindle in dispensing position and a retracted position retracted into the housing away from the spindle in dispensing position;
- and wherein the deflecting member is connected to a blocking member moving in response to the movement of the deflecting member;
- wherein said movement of the deflecting member translates into movement of the blocking member in and out of said engagement slot in the dispenser housing, and wherein said blocking member blocks the engagement slot when the deflecting member is in its retracted position.
Dispenser for dispensing web material from a roll, the dispenser comprising:
- a housing and a front cover having an opened and a closed state,
- a spindle that is configured to rotatably support a roll of web material in a given orientation during dispensing, said spindle being movable between a loading position and a dispensing position,
- a deflecting member resiliently movable between a retracted position in which the deflecting member is retracted in the housing and a protruding position in which the deflecting member is protruding towards the interior of the dispenser,
- wherein the front cover in its closed state is blocked from interaction with the housing when the deflecting member is in retracted position.
Dispenser for dispensing web material from a roll, the dispenser comprising:
- a housing comprising an engagement slot and a front cover having a closed state and an opened state, said front cover comprising an engagement member arranged to interact with the engagement slot in closed position,
- a spindle rotatably supporting a roll of web material, said spindle being movable between a loading position and a dispensing position,
- a deflecting member resiliently movable between a protruding position in which the deflecting member is protruding towards said spindle dispensing position and a retracted position in which the deflecting member is retracted into the housing away from the spindle dispensing position, and wherein said deflecting member being adapted to be moved into a retracted position by a first side of said roll when the spindle is moved from loading position to dispensing position, wherein the movement of the deflecting member translates into moving a blocking member into said engagement slot in order to hinder interaction between said engagement member and said engagement slot.
Method of loading a dispenser for dispensing web material from a roll, the dispenser comprising a housing and a front cover, a spindle adapted to rotatably support a roll of web material during dispensing, said spindle having a dispensing position and a loading position, a deflecting member having a shape and being movable between a protruding position protruding towards said spindle dispensing position and a retracted position retracted into the housing away from said spindle dispensing position,
- wherein the method comprises:
- placing a roll comprising an indentation complementary to the shape of the deflecting member on said spindle in loading position,
- moving said spindle from said loading position towards said dispensing position,
- allowing a first side of said roll, comprising the indentation, to push against said deflecting member in order to move it from said protruding position to said retracted position, wherein the movement of the deflecting member translates into movement of a blocking member into a blocking position,
- allowing the deflecting member to flex back into protruding position once the spindle is in dispensing position in order to move said blocking member out of said blocking position,
- moving the front cover to a closed state.
