Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a paper towel dispensing device, and more particularly to a contact-free paper towel dispensing device. Background Art

[0002] The contents of this section merely provide background information related to the present invention and may not constitute prior art.

[0003] Paper towels (e.g., bamboo or wood pulp paper towels, non-woven dry wipes, non-woven wet wipes, etc.) are a common hygiene product used in daily life. Whether indoors or out and about, paper towels are conveniently used for cleaning purposes. Paper towels are typically contained in a paper towel dispenser (e.g., a tissue box or a tissue pack). The paper towels are typically folded and interleaved within the dispenser to facilitate easy removal. An adhesive cover may be provided on the dispenser to seal the paper towels within the dispenser, thereby preventing contamination and, in the case of wet wipes, retaining moisture within the wet wipes.

[0004] When removing tissues from a tissue dispenser, other tissues within the device may be removed. If a user touches other tissues within the device, they can easily contaminate them. In environments with high hygiene requirements, this can result in the remaining tissues within the device being unhygienic and unusable. Furthermore, as tissues are used up, the device becomes less filled, making it difficult to remove the remaining tissues. This can even cause the device to deform, causing the adhesive cover to lose its adhesive strength and fail to perform its sealing function properly. This exposes the tissues to the outside environment, contaminating the device. Furthermore, in the case of wet wipes, the wet wipes can dry out and lose their functionality.

[0005] Therefore, it is desirable to provide an improved design of a paper towel dispensing device to prevent a paper towel from contacting and contaminating other paper towels in the paper towel dispensing device when a paper towel is taken out. Utility Model Content

[0033] The following description is merely illustrative in nature and is not intended to limit the present invention, its applications, and uses. It should be understood that throughout the drawings, like reference numerals indicate identical or similar parts and features. The drawings merely schematically illustrate the concepts and principles of the embodiments of the present invention and do not necessarily depict the specific dimensions and proportions of each embodiment of the present invention. Certain portions of certain drawings may be exaggerated to illustrate relevant details or structures of the embodiments of the present invention.

[0034] In the description of each embodiment of the present invention, the directional terms related to "up", "down", "left", "right", "front" and "back" are used to describe the orientation of up, down, left, right, front and back in the view.

[0035] Figure 1 and Figure 2 A perspective view of a paper towel dispensing device 1 according to a first embodiment of the present invention is shown, wherein: Figure 1 The paper towel dispensing device is shown in a closed position, Figure 2 The paper towel dispensing device is shown in an open position.

[0036] like Figure 1 As shown, the paper towel dispensing device 1 includes a housing 10 and a cover 20. The cover 20 is adapted to be attached to the housing 10 to define an accommodating space V for accommodating paper towels. The paper towels may be bamboo pulp or wood pulp paper towels, non-woven dry wipes, non-woven wet wipes or other types of paper towels. Figure 1In the example shown in , when the cover 20 is mounted in place on the shell 10, the top plate of the cover 20 abuts against the upper end of the side wall of the shell 10. However, the present invention is not limited to this. In other examples according to the present invention, when the cover 20 is mounted in place on the shell 10, the top plate of the cover 20 may be spaced apart from the upper end of the side wall of the shell 10. In addition, in order to form a tight and stable installation between the cover 20 and the shell 10, a concave-convex structure (not shown in the figure) may be provided on the inner side of the end 23 of the side wall of the cover 20 and the outer side of the side wall of the shell 10. Preferably, the cover 20 is mounted to the shell 10 in a detachable manner so that the cover 20 can be removed from the shell 10 as needed to replenish or replace the paper towels in the paper towel dispensing device 1. Preferably, at least a portion of the side wall of the shell 10 is transparent, or the side wall of the shell 10 is provided with an observation window to facilitate observation of the paper towels in the accommodating space V.

[0037] The lid 20 is provided with a pivotable door 30. The pivotable door 30 is provided to be pivotable relative to the lid 20. In one example, the pivotable door 30 may be formed integrally with the lid 20 or be heat-fused or welded to the lid 20, and a pivotable connection between the pivotable door 30 and the lid 20 is achieved by providing a weakened portion between the pivotable door 30 and the lid 20. In another example, the pivotable door 30 may be mounted to the lid 20 in a pivotable manner, for example, the pivotable door 30 may be provided with a pivot, and the pivot may be inserted into a cylindrical portion provided at a corresponding position of the lid 20 to achieve a pivotal connection between the pivotable door 30 and the lid 20. The pivotable door 30 may be pivoted relative to the lid 20 about the pivot axis X to close the accommodating space V, so as to enclose the paper towels in the paper towel dispensing device 1, as shown. Figure 1 As shown, the paper towels are prevented from being exposed to the outside and contaminated, and when the paper towels are wet wipes, the moisture in the wet wipes can be retained to prevent the wet wipes from drying out. In addition, the pivotable door 30 can be pivoted relative to the cover 20 about the pivot axis X to open the accommodating space V so as to take out the paper towels in the accommodating space V, as shown in FIG. Figure 2 As shown. An opening 21 is provided on the top plate of the lid 20, and a pivotable door 30 is mounted to the lid 20 such that the pivotable door 30 can pivot to close the opening 21 of the lid 20, thereby sealing the accommodating space V. Preferably, a seal (not shown) can be provided between the outer edge of the pivotable door 30 and the periphery of the opening 21. For example, a sealing strip (e.g., a silicone strip fixedly mounted along the entire outer edge) can be installed to improve the sealing performance of the paper towel dispensing device 1. A handle portion 35 is centrally provided on the outer edge 33 of the pivotable door 30. A user can conveniently pivot the pivotable door 30 relative to the lid 20 by pulling the handle portion 35 to open the accommodating space V.

[0038] like Figure 2As shown, the pivotable door 30 is provided with one or more hooks 43, which protrude from the back of the pivotable door 30 toward the accommodating space V and are capable of pivoting along with the pivotable door 30. When the pivotable door 30 closes the opening 21 of the lid 20 to close the accommodating space V, the hooks 43 are adapted to be inserted into and hook one or more tissues within the accommodating space V. When the pivotable door 30 pivots about the pivot axis X to open the accommodating space V, the tissues P hooked by the hooks 43 are separated from the other tissues within the accommodating space V as the pivotable door 30 pivots and are at least partially pulled out of the accommodating space V. The user can then remove the hooked tissues P from the pivotable door 30 for use without having to touch the other tissues within the accommodating space V of the tissue dispensing device 1, thereby avoiding contamination of the other tissues within the accommodating space V. With the above-described design, the tissue dispensing device 1 is constructed as a contactless tissue dispensing device, providing a contactless method for accessing tissues. Furthermore, the paper towel dispensing device 1 is particularly suitable for flatly stacking paper towels. Through the aforementioned design, the paper towels within the storage space V of the paper towel dispensing device 1 are caught by the hook portion 43 and, as the pivotable door 30 pivots, are separated from the other paper towels and at least partially pulled out of the storage space V. This eliminates the need for overlapping paper towels, allowing for convenient extraction by pulling out the next paper towel as the previous one is pulled out. Therefore, paper towels can be flatly stacked within the storage space V of the paper towel dispensing device 1, eliminating the need for folding and interleaving the paper towels. This simplifies the paper towel manufacturing process by eliminating the need for interleaving and stacking the paper towels.

[0039] Figure 3 FIG shows a top view of the paper towel dispensing device 1. The area of the pivotable door 30 may be 30% to 50% of the area of the cover 20, so that the paper towels can be easily taken out and the paper towels in the accommodating space V can be prevented from being excessively exposed when the pivotable door 30 is pivoted to open the accommodating space V. Preferably, the outer edge 33 of the pivotable door 30 is close to the side wall ( Figure 3 The right side wall in the middle) or the side wall close to the housing 10 ( Figure 3 The right side wall in the middle), so that when the pivotable door 30 closes the opening 21 of the cover 20 and closes the accommodating space V, the outer edge 33 of the pivotable door 30 is close to the end of the paper towel in the accommodating space V.

[0040] Preferably, the hook portion 43 is disposed centered on the pivotable door 30 in the direction of the pivot axis X of the pivotable door 30 and, in a direction perpendicular to the pivot axis X of the pivotable door 30, as far away from the pivot axis X as possible and close to the outer edge 33 of the pivotable door 30 on the side opposite to the pivot axis X. With this design, when the pivotable door 30 closes the opening 21 of the lid 20 to close the accommodating space V, the hook portion 43 can hook the middle portion of the paper towel in the width direction near the end of the paper towel. This makes it easier to separate the paper towel hooked by the hook 43 from other paper towels in the accommodating space V when the pivotable door 30 pivots to open the accommodating space V. Furthermore, the paper towel hooked by the hook 43 can be more stably pulled out of the accommodating space V as the pivotable door 30 pivots.

[0041] The hook portion 43 may be integrally formed on the pivotable door 30, or may be separately formed and mounted to the pivotable door 30. In the example shown in the drawings, the hook portion 43 is provided by a hook assembly 40 mounted to the pivotable door 30. Figure 4 A perspective view of the hook assembly 40 is shown. Figure 4 As shown, the hook assembly 40 includes a main body 41 and multiple hooks 43 protruding from one end of the main body 41. The hooks 43 can be integrally formed with the main body 41, or they can be formed separately and assembled to the main body 41. In the example shown in the figure, the hook assembly 40 includes multiple hooks 43 spaced apart from each other, and the hooks 43 have an outer profile shaped like an inverted arrow. However, the present invention is not limited to this. In other examples according to the present invention, the hook assembly 40 may include fewer hooks 43, or even just one hook 43. The outer profile of the hook 43 is not limited to the inverted arrow shape shown in the figure, but can have any other suitable outer profile that facilitates the insertion and removal of a tissue. The main body 41 is a solid or hollow cylindrical shape with threads 45 provided on its outer circumference and a protruding boss 47 provided on the end opposite the side where the hooks 43 are located.

[0042] The hook assembly 40 is mounted to the mounting hole 31 of the pivotable door 30. The thread 45 of the hook assembly 40 is threadedly engaged with the mounting hole 31, so that the hook portion 43 protrudes from the back of the pivotable door 30. By gripping the protrusion 47 and twisting the hook assembly 40, the depth of engagement of the hook assembly 40 with the mounting hole 31 can be adjusted, thereby adjusting the position of the hook assembly 40 relative to the pivotable door 30, and thus adjusting the length of the hook portion 43 protruding from the back of the pivotable door 30. On the one hand, the depth of insertion of the hook portion 43 into the stack of tissues in the accommodating space V can be adjusted, thereby adapting to the thickness of tissues and allowing the hook portion 43 to penetrate and hook more layers of tissues at once as needed. On the other hand, the distance between the hook portion 43 and the stack of tissues in the accommodating space V can be adjusted, ensuring that tissues can be hooked even when the number of tissues in the accommodating space V decreases.

[0043] Figure 5 Shown along Figure 3 , a cross-sectional view of the tissue dispensing device 1 taken along line AA in FIG. Preferably, the tissue dispensing device 1 further includes an elastic member 50 and a support plate 60. The elastic member 50 is disposed within the accommodating space V, located on the bottom surface 11 within the housing 10. In one example, the elastic member 50 is a compression spring. The support plate 60 is also disposed within the accommodating space V, and the elastic member 50 biases the support plate 60 toward the lid 20. The stack of tissues within the accommodating space V is sandwiched between the support plate 60 and the lid 20, and is pressed toward the lid 20 and the pivotable door 30. Figure 5 FIG shows a state where the paper towels in the accommodating space V are sufficient, and at this time, the elastic member 50 is compressed. Figure 5 Only one elastic member 50 is shown in the figure, but the present invention is not limited thereto. In other examples according to the present invention, the paper towel dispensing device 1 may be provided with multiple elastic members to provide a more stable support for the support plate 60 and to use an elastic member with a smaller size (e.g., spring diameter).

[0044] Figure 6 Shown Figure 5 The pivotable door 30 is formed with an annular flange 32 protruding from the front of the pivotable door 30, and a mounting hole 31 is formed in the hollow interior of the annular flange. Figure 6 As shown, the hook assembly 40 is threadedly engaged with the mounting hole 31 of the pivotable door 30, and the hook portion 43 protrudes from the back of the pivotable door 30 toward the accommodating space V, and is inserted into and hooks the paper towel in the accommodating space V. Figure 6 In the state shown, the paper towel hooked by the hook portion 43 is the paper towel P1 located on the top layer.

[0045] When the user pulls the handle portion 35 to pivot the pivotable door 30 relative to the cover 20 to open the accommodating space V, the paper towel P1 hooked by the hook portion 43 is separated from other paper towels in the accommodating space V as the pivotable door 30 pivots, and is at least partially pulled out of the accommodating space V, as shown in FIG. Figure 7 As shown. The user can then remove the paper towel P1 from the hook 43 and completely pull the paper towel P1 out of the accommodating space V for use without touching the other paper towels in the accommodating space V. The pivotable door 30 is then pivoted in the opposite direction to close the opening 21 of the lid 20 and thus the accommodating space V, sealing the remaining paper towels in the accommodating space V. The hook 43 is then inserted into and hooks the topmost paper towel among the remaining paper towels for use.

[0046] As previously mentioned, the length of the hook portion 43 protruding from the back of the pivotable door 30 is adjustable. By gripping the protrusion 47 and twisting the hook assembly 40, the position of the hook assembly 40 relative to the pivotable door 30 can be adjusted, thereby adjusting the length of the hook portion 43 protruding from the back of the pivotable door 30. For example, the hook assembly 40 can be twisted to insert the hook assembly 30 deeper into the mounting hole 31, thereby increasing the length of the hook portion 43 protruding from the back of the pivotable door 30 and increasing the depth of the tissue stack inserted into the accommodating space V. This allows the hook portion 43 to simultaneously hook more layers of tissues within the accommodating space V and is also suitable for hooking thicker tissues. Figure 8 FIG. 4 shows another installation state of the hook assembly 40 relative to the pivotable door 30. Figure 6 Compared with the state shown in Figure 8 In the embodiment, the length of the hook portion 43 protruding from the back side of the pivotable door 30 is increased, and the hook portion 43 can be inserted into and hook the top layer of paper towel P1 and the other paper towel P2 below it in the accommodating space V. Therefore, when the pivotable door 30 is pivoted to open the accommodating space V, two layers of paper towels can be taken out at one time.

[0047] As the paper towels are taken out, the remaining paper towels in the accommodating space V gradually decrease. Accordingly, the compressed elastic member 50 gradually expands, biasing the support plate 60 toward the cover 20 and the pivotable door 30, thereby pushing the paper towel stack in the accommodating space V toward the pivotable door 30, making it easier for the hook 43 to insert and hook the paper towels on the top layer. Figure 9 As shown. Therefore, regardless of the height of the paper towel stack within the accommodating space V, the paper towels on the top layer can be brought close to the pivotable door 30 and easily hooked by the hook 43, facilitating access to the paper towels within the accommodating space V. This design is particularly suitable for situations where the lid housing 10 is a rigid housing and the height of the accommodating space V formed between the lid 20 and the housing 10 is not adjustable. Even if the number of paper towels within the accommodating space V decreases, causing the height of the paper towel stack to fall below the height of the accommodating space V, the paper towels on the top layer can still be pushed toward the pivotable door 30 and hooked by the hook 43, allowing the paper towels within the accommodating space V to be conveniently and easily used up.

[0048] The above describes the paper towel dispensing device 1 according to the first embodiment of the present invention. The paper towel dispensing device 1 according to the present invention is configured as a contactless paper towel dispensing device, capable of providing a contactless method for withdrawing paper towels, avoiding contamination caused by contact with other paper towels within the paper towel dispensing device 1 when withdrawing a paper towel. The paper towel dispensing device 1 according to the first embodiment of the present invention facilitates the use of stored paper towels while providing reliable sealing performance. Furthermore, the length of the hook portion 43 protruding from the rear surface of the pivotable door 30 can be adjusted as needed, thereby adjusting the number of paper towels that can be removed at a time.

[0049] Figure 10 and Figure 11 Cross-sectional views of a tissue dispensing device 1A according to a second embodiment of the present invention are shown, each illustrating different states of the tissue dispensing device 1A. The tissue dispensing device 1A according to the second embodiment of the present invention has a similar structure to the tissue dispensing device 1 according to the first embodiment of the present invention, with the only difference being that the tissue dispensing device 1A is not provided with the aforementioned elastic member 50 and support plate 60, and that, when installed, the cover 20A is movable relative to the housing 10A to change the height of the accommodating space V1.

[0050] Figure 10 The state in which the paper towels in the accommodating space V1 are sufficient is shown. At this time, the end 23A of the side wall of the cover 20A is close to the end 13A of the side wall of the shell 10A. Preferably, a concave-convex structure is provided between the end 23A of the side wall of the cover 20A and the end 13A of the side wall of the shell 10A to tightly engage the cover 20A with the shell 10A and prevent the cover 20A from being detached from the shell 10A. For example, a circumferentially continuous or discontinuous protrusion (not shown) can be provided on the inner periphery of the end 23A of the side wall of the cover 20A, and a groove that cooperates with the protrusion can be provided on the outer periphery of the end 13A of the side wall of the shell 10A.

[0051] The length of the hook 43 protruding from the back of the pivotable door 30 can be adjusted. On the one hand, the depth of the hook 43 inserted into the pile of paper towels in the accommodating space V1 can be adjusted, so that it can be suitable for penetrating and hooking paper towels of different thicknesses, and it is also possible to penetrate and hook more layers of paper towels at a time through the hook 43 as needed. During use, as paper towels are taken, the number of paper towels in the accommodating space V1 decreases. The height of the accommodating space V1 can be reduced by moving the cover 20A relative to the housing 10A, so that when the pivotable door 30 closes the accommodating space V1, the cover 20A and the pivotable door 30 are close to the paper towels on the top layer in the accommodating space V1, and the hook 43 can be inserted into and hooked on the paper towels on the top layer in the accommodating space V1, as shown in FIG. Figure 11 As shown. For example, a user can press the cover 20A downward, causing the cover 20A to move downward relative to the housing 10A along the outer surface of the side wall of the housing 10A. Alternatively, the cover 20A can move downward relative to the housing 10A along the side wall of the housing 10A under the weight of the cover 20A, the pivotable door 30 mounted to the cover 20A, and the hook assembly 40. When the top wall of the cover 20A abuts against the end 13A of the side wall of the housing 10A or when the end 23A of the side wall of the cover 20A abuts against the support surface (e.g., a tabletop) of the paper towel dispensing device 1A and cannot move further relative to the housing 10A, the hook assembly 40 can be twisted to increase the length of the hook portion 43 protruding from the back of the pivotable door 30 so as to be inserted into and hook the top layer of paper towels in the reduced height stack.

[0052] The paper towel dispensing device 1A according to the second embodiment of the present invention can achieve the above-mentioned beneficial technical effects similar to those of the paper towel dispensing device 1 according to the first embodiment of the present invention.

[0053] Figure 12 and Figure 13 The present invention provides a cross-sectional view of a modified example of a tissue dispensing device 1B according to the second embodiment of the present invention, showing different states of the tissue dispensing device 1B. The tissue dispensing device 1B has a similar structure to the aforementioned tissue dispensing device 1A, differing only in that the cover 20B of the tissue dispensing device 1B is movable relative to the housing 10B along the inner surface of the side wall of the housing 10B.

[0054] Figure 12 The state in which the storage space V2 is fully stocked with tissues is shown. At this point, the end 23B of the side wall of the cover 20B is close to the end 13B of the side wall of the housing 10B. Preferably, continuous or discontinuous protrusions (not shown) can be provided on the inner circumferential surface of the end 13B of the side wall of the housing 10B, and grooves that mate with the protrusions can be provided on the outer circumferential surface of the end 13B of the side wall of the cover 20B to prevent the cover 20B from accidentally falling out of the housing 10B.

[0055] As the paper towels are taken, the paper towels in the accommodating space V2 gradually become less. The cover 20B can be moved downward relative to the housing 10B, for example, by pressing the cover 20B or by the gravity of the cover 20B, the pivotable door 30 mounted to the cover 20B, and the hook assembly 40, so that the cover 20B moves downward relative to the housing 10B along the inner surface of the side wall of the housing 10B, so that the cover 20B and the pivotable door 30 approach the paper towels on the top layer in the accommodating space V2 and hook them with the hook portion 43, as shown in FIG. Figure 13 When the end 23B of the side wall of the cover 20B abuts against the bottom surface 11B of the housing 10B and cannot move further downward relative to the housing 10B, the hook assembly 40 can be rotated to increase the length of the hook portion 43 protruding from the back of the pivotable door 30 so as to be inserted into and hook the top layer of the paper towel stack with a reduced height.

[0056] This design of the paper towel dispensing device 1B can achieve similar beneficial effects as the paper towel dispensing device 1A, and when the height of the side wall of the cover 20B is smaller, it is more conducive to conveniently using up the paper towels in the accommodating space V2.

[0057] Figure 14 and Figure 15A cross-sectional view of a tissue dispensing device 1C according to a third embodiment of the present invention is shown, each illustrating different states of the tissue dispensing device 1C. The tissue dispensing device 1C according to the third embodiment of the present invention has a similar structure to the tissue dispensing device 1A according to the second embodiment of the present invention, with the only difference being that, when installed, the end 23C of the side wall of the cover 20C is fixedly attached (preferably in a detachable manner) to the end 13C of the side wall of the housing 10C, and the housing 10C and cover 20C of the tissue dispensing device 1C are adapted to deform to change the height of the accommodating space V3.

[0058] During use, as the amount of paper towels in the storage space V3 decreases, the cover 20C and the shell 10C can be flexibly deformed to reduce the height of the storage space V3, so that when the pivotable door 30 closes the storage space V3, the hook 43 can be inserted into and hook the paper towels in the storage space V3.
