Abstract
The invention proposes a dispenser for a web wound into a coreless roll, the roll (11) being mounted on an irrotational, substantially cylindrical support spindle (14), the web in this dispenser being dispensed by rotationally unwinding the roll (11) around the axis (A1) of the support spindle (14), characterized in that the support spindle (14) includes means (46, 48, 50, 52) axially locking the roll (11) and in that the spindle (14) bears means (36, 50, 52) for decelerating the roll (11) being unwound.
Claims8
A dispenser for a web wound into a coreless roll comprising a substantially cylindrical, irrotational support spindle on which at least one of said coreless roll can be mounted and from one roll of said at least one of said coreless roll the web is dispensed by unwinding the one roll by rotating the one roll about a longitudinal axis of the support spindle, wherein the support spindle comprises means for axially locking the one roll in place on the support spindle, and means for decelerating the one roll when being unwound, wherein the one roll is axially pressed by the means for decelerating against a transverse axially locking surface, wherein the means for decelerating comprise an irrotational, flat press bar axially slidable in the dispenser, wherein the flat press bar is driven by elastic means against a transverse side of the roll, wherein the flat press bar is in the form of a plate elongated in a direction of a roll diameters and wherein the plate comprises at each end an axial guide projection which is received in an aperture in a stationary guard plate extending transversely inside the dispenser.
A dispenser for a web wound into a coreless roll comprising a substantially cylindrical, irrotational support spindle on which at least one of said coreless roll can be mounted and from one roll of said at least one of said coreless roll the web is dispensed by unwinding the one roll by rotating the one roll about a longitudinal axis of the support spindle, wherein the support spindle comprises means for axially locking the one roll in place on the support spindle, and means for decelerating the one roll when being unwound, wherein the means for axially locking the one roll comprise a frustoconical boss having an axis same as the support spindle, having a base providing a transverse surface which axially locks the one roll in one axial direction, and having a conical surface which facilitates shifting a roll in a stored position on the support spindle by axially sliding on the spindle the roll in a stored position into an unwinding position, and wherein the means for decelerating axially presses the one roll against the base of the frustoconical boss.
