Abstract:
The invention concerns dispenser (10) suitable for dispensing absorbent sheet material from a roll (1 1 ) disposable within said dispenser (10). The dispenser (10) comprising: a dispenser body, a rotational shaft (15) suitable for penetration of said roll (1 1 ), a drive unit, and an energy storage system (32) for storing energy. The drive unit is rotationally coupled to said rotational shaft (15), which comprising engagement means suitable for rotationally locking said rotational shaft (15) with said roll (1 1 ). Externally caused rotation of said rotational shaft (15) drives said drive unit, thereby enabling accumulation of energy in said energy storage system (32), and said drive unit is configured to be powered by energy from said energy storage system (32) for temporarily rotating said rotational shaft (15). The engagement means comprises at least one projection (18, 22, 50, 61, 66) and/or at least one recess (37) arranged on a circumferential outer surface (21 ) of said rotational shaft (15) for radial engagement with said roll (1 1 ). The invention also concerns a dispenser assembly comprising a dispenser as previously described and a hollow cylindrical core (17) suitable for supporting a roll of absorbent sheet material.
Abstract:
The object of the present invention is to provide an inventive package (1) of folded sheet products, which package (1) comprising a stack (2) of said sheet products, and a package wrapper (3), which surrounds said stack (2) and holds said stack (2) together. The stack (2) comprises a start sheet product(4) at a start end (5) of said stack (2), and an end sheet product (6) at an opposite end (7) of said stack (2). The package wrapper (3) comprises a first end portion (12) and a second end portion (13), which end portions(11, 12) are mutually joined by first attachment means (15) at a first attachment location (14) where said end portions (11, 12) are overlapping and with said first end portion (12) arranged outside said second end portion(13).The first attachment location (14) is arranged such that a release tab (19) for removal of said package wrapper (3) is formed by an end piece (18) of said first end portion (12), and a free extremity (20) of said release tab (19) is arranged at said start end (5) of said stack (2).The second end portion (13) of said package wrapper (3) is free from direct attachment to said stack (2), and said first end portion (12) of said package wrapper (3) is joined with said start sheet product (4) by second attachment means (22) at a second attachment location (21).A sheet product dispenser and a method for loading a sheet product dispenser are also provided.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a dispenser for rolls of flexible sheet material, each of said rolls having spindle means extending axially outwardly beyond the ends thereof, wherein a first roll is located in a dispensing position. Alternatively, a second roll may be located in a reserve position. The dispenser further comprises a stub roll position arranged to receive a first roll exhausted to a predetermined extent.
