Title: Dispenser for dispensing web material from a roll

Description:
TECHNICAL FIELD 
     The disclosure relates to a dispenser for dispensing web material from a roll, the dispenser comprising 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. 
     BACKGROUND 
     Various types of dispensers for dispensing tissue paper from rolls are known in the art. In public restrooms the roll dispensers commonly comprise a housing to protect the roll from contamination and the tissue paper is accessible through a dispensing opening in housing. Dispensers intended for coreless roll dispensing comprise a spindle for holding the roll during dispensing. In one common type of dispenser the dispensing opening is arranged in the front cover of the dispenser, and the spindle is arranged parallel to the back of the dispenser such that the face of the tissue paper roll face the dispensing opening. Typically, the front cover is openable which allows the service personnel to access the spindle for loading the roll of tissue paper. 
     Sometimes the service personnel load the roll of tissue paper in the wrong orientation such that the paper tail is arranged at the back of the dispenser rather than at the front of the dispenser, which makes dispensing less user-friendly for the end user. Moreover, sometimes the service personnel load the wrong type of roll in the dispenser which also may affect the end user experience. Loading dispensers is an important part of the service personnel&#39;s tasks and should therefore preferably be as easy and quick as possible. It is also desired that correct loading of rolls of tissue paper is facilitated in order to make sure tissue paper is readily available for the end user. 
     SUMMARY 
     The dispenser disclosed herein aims to overcome the above mentioned issues, and aims to fulfill the desires of a functional dispenser that is easy to load correctly. The disclosure further provides a method of loading a roll onto such a dispenser. 
     Further advantages are achieved by implementing one or several of the features described herein. 
     The disclosure relates to a dispenser for dispensing web material from a roll. The dispenser comprises a housing, a spindle intended to rotatably support a roll of web material during dispensing the spindle being movable between a loading position and a dispensing position. The housing defines an interior of the dispenser. The dispenser further comprises a deflecting member which is movable between a protruding position in which the deflecting member is protruding towards the spindle in dispensing position and a retracted position in which the deflecting member is 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. 
     The deflecting member may be movable between its two positions in response to a roll being loaded in the dispenser on the movable spindle. The deflecting member may move into retracted position when a force is applied to it and may be arranged such as to come into contact with a roll arranged on the spindle as the spindle moves between loading and dispensing position. The deflecting member may stay in retracted position as long as a roll arranged on the spindle in dispensing position exerts a force onto the deflecting member. The dispenser thus provides the service personnel with instant feedback regarding the positioning of the roll in the dispenser, and allows for the service personnel to notice if the roll has not been loaded correctly. This in turn eliminates the risk of an end-user detecting a faulty loaded roll or experiencing a dispenser with reduced dispensing user-friendliness. 
     The deflecting member may interact with a resilient member arranged to allow the deflecting member to flex back into protruding position from retracted position. The resilient member is in relaxed state when the deflecting member is in its protruding position. The deflecting member moves into retracted position when a force is applied to it, thereby forcing the resilient member to tense state. Once the tension applied to the deflecting member is removed the resilient member relaxes and moves the deflecting member back into protruding position. The resilient member connects the deflecting member to the housing of the dispenser. 
     The deflecting member is arranged in the housing in order to receive a first end of the spindle when the spindle is in dispensing position. The dispensing position of the spindle is arranged in the interior of the dispenser housing. The loading position of the spindle is arranged outside of the interior of the housing, thereby allowing the service personnel to load a roll onto the spindle. The loading position, positioning the spindle outside the interior of the dispenser, facilitates easy access to the spindle during loading. 
     The deflecting member in protruding position engages the first end of the spindle. The deflecting member may comprise a guiding groove adapted to receive the first end of the spindle and guide it into an engaged position in the deflecting member when the spindle is in dispensing position. The guiding groove thereby stabilizes the spindle in dispensing position during dispensing of web material from a roll disposed on the spindle. 
     A second end of the spindle may be arranged on an arm attached to the housing, the arm being allowed to pivot outwards from the interior of the housing to put the spindle in loading position, thereby allowing loading of a roll onto the spindle in loading position. The dispenser is provided with a back, and the arm pivots in a direction perpendicular to the back of the dispenser. The spindle is attached perpendicular to the arm thereby extending in horizontal direction parallel to the back of the dispenser. The back of the dispenser is adapted to be fastened to a wall during use of the dispenser. The arm pivoting outwards from the interior of the housing provides access to the first end of the spindle from the side and allows loading easy of the dispenser. 
     The web material may be tissue paper. In one example the tissue paper is toilet tissue paper. The roll may be a coreless roll. The spindle may be provided with a sleeve facilitating the coreless roll to rotate about the spindle. 
     The movement of the deflecting member may translate into movement of the blocking member in and out of an engagement slot arranged in the dispenser housing. The blocking member may comprise a blocking position in which the engagement slot is blocked. The blocking position may be reached when the deflecting member is in retracted position. 
     In one example the housing comprises at least a top wall, side walls and a front cover. The deflecting member is arranged to protrude from a side wall of the dispenser housing, the side wall being a wall adjacent a side of a roll loaded in the dispenser. The front cover allows access to the rolls for loading i.e. refilling the dispenser. The front cover may be hinged, in one example from a lower part of the housing. The front cover may be hinged from the lower part of the side walls, the back wall, or from a bottom wall. The engagement slot, which the blocking member moves in and out of in response to the movement of the deflecting member, may be arranged in the top wall of the dispenser housing. 
     The front cover may have a closed and opened state, and comprising an engagement member arranged to interact with the engagement slot when the front cover in closed state. The blocking member blocks the engagement slot when the deflecting member is in its retracted position. The interaction between the engagement member and the engagement slot is arranged to keep the front cover closed so if the engagement slot is blocked by the blocking member in blocking position the front cover cannot stay in closed state. The engagement member may be a locking hook. If a roll is faulty positioned in the dispenser or does not fit in the dispenser the blocking member in blocking position will make sure the dispenser front cover is in opened state only. This allows the service personnel to notice their mistake and exchange the faulty roll or change its orientation on the spindle into correct position. 
     The front cover may have a dispensing opening which provides access to the rolls for dispensing when the front cover is in closed state. The web of paper is dispensed through the dispensing opening. A roll, when arranged on the spindle, is visible through the dispensing opening when the spindle is in dispensing position and the front cover is closed. This allows easy access to the web material for dispensing. 
     In one non-limiting example the blocking member may be movable in a direction perpendicular to the movement of the deflecting member. The movement may be translated by means of a connection member translating a horizontal movement of the deflecting member into vertical movement of the blocking member. The movement of the blocking member may also be rotational, linear etc. The connection member connects the blocking member to the deflecting member. The blocking member is arranged in blocking position when the deflecting member is in its retracted position. The blocking member in blocking position hinders the dispenser from functioning as intended, i.e. it hinders proper loading and dispensing. 
     In one example the deflecting member is connected to the blocking member by a rod translating a horizontal movement of the deflecting member into vertical movement of the blocking member. 
     The dispenser may further comprises an indication window and an indication being visible in the indication window when the blocking member is in the engagement slot, thereby indicating that the front cover can not be left in closed state since the engagement member of the front cover cannot interact with the engagement slot in the housing. The indication is arranged such that it moves in and out of the indication window with the movement of the blocking member in and out of blocking position. 
     The spindle may be attached perpendicular to the arm, the arm being hinged at a hinge point to a support member, and the arm being allowed to pivot about the hinge point. The arm facilitates the spindle dispensing position in which the spindle is arranged within the housing of the dispenser, and the spindle loading position in which the spindle is arranged outside the housing of the dispenser in order to allow loading of a roll onto the spindle, the arm being pivotable between the two positions. This provides easy access to the spindle in loading position such that loading of a new roll onto the spindle is facilitated. 
     The deflecting member may have a shape adapted to fit in an indentation in the side of a roll arranged on the spindle. The deflecting member is adapted to be pushed into the retracted position in the dispenser housing when coming into contact with a side of a roll comprising an indentation complementary to the shape of the deflecting member as the spindle is moved into dispensing position, and the deflecting member being adapted to flex back into protruding position when the spindle reaches dispensing position in which the first end of the spindle is in engaged position. As a result, only rolls with an indentation having a shape which is complementary to the shape of the deflecting member allows the deflecting member to flex back into protruding position and subsequently moves the blocking member out of blocking position. If a roll which does not have an indentation of complementary shape is placed in dispensing position the deflecting member remains in retracted position, and the blocking member remains in blocking position. The front cover of the dispenser can not stay in closed state with such a roll in dispensing position. Hence, this allows the service personnel to detect that a roll is faulty loaded before walking away from the dispenser, and the issue can be corrected before it affects the end-user of the dispenser. 
     In one non-limiting example the shape of the deflecting member is at least partly frustoconical. The frustoconical shape may be chamfered at one side to facilitate the edge of a first side of a roll arranged on the spindle to pass the deflecting member during loading. 
     The dispenser may be a dual dispenser comprising two spindles intended to hold a roll respectively, and wherein the two spindles are movable between loading position and dispensing position independently from each other. The spindles may be arranged side-by-side in the dispenser, parallel to the back wall. The dispensing opening in the front cover of the dispenser is arranged such that is provides access to both spindles in dispensing position, i.e. access to both rolls when arranged in the dispenser, and may be provided with a lid movable between two positions such as to cover part of the dispensing opening so that only one roll at the time is accessible for dispensing. 
     The housing of the dual dispenser may comprise a central side wall arranged between the two spindles, a deflecting member being arranged in the central side wall protruding from the central side wall towards a first of the spindles in dispensing position in its protruding position and the deflecting member retracted into the central side wall away from the spindle in dispensing position in its retracted position. A first spindle is arranged to protrude from a first side wall, via an arm, such that the first end of the first spindle interacts with a deflecting member arranged in the central side wall. The second spindle is arranged to extend from the central side wall, via an arm, such that the first end of the second spindle interacts with a receiving part at the second side wall opposite the first side wall. The receiving part may or may not comprise a deflecting member. The receiving part may have the same shape as the deflecting member such that the receiving part fits in an indentation in a roll, the indentation being complementary to the shape of the deflecting member. 
     The deflecting member may also be arranged in one of the outer side walls of a dual dispenser, arranged to engage the first end of a spindle in dispensing position. The dual dispenser may further comprise two deflecting members, each arranged in an outer side wall or central side wall depending on how the spindles are arranged in the dual dispenser. 
     The dispenser may further comprise three or more spindles, and be intended to hold the corresponding number of rolls. The dispenser may also comprise two spindles intended to hold a roll respectively, and wherein the two spindles are movable between loading position and dispensing position simultaneously. 
     The disclosure also includes a 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 intended to rotatably support a roll of web material during dispensing, the 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. The front cover can thereby not stay in closed state. The dispenser may further comprise the features mentioned in the disclosure above. 
     The disclosure also includes a 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, the 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, the 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 the spindle dispensing position and a retracted position in which the deflecting member is retracted into the housing away from the spindle dispensing position. Moreover, the deflecting member is adapted to be moved into a retracted position by a first side of the 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 the engagement slot in order to hinder interaction between the engagement member and the engagement slot. The dispenser may further comprise the features mentioned in the disclosure above. 
     The first side of the roll facing the deflecting member is provided with an indentation complementary to the shape of the deflecting member such that the deflecting member is allowed to move back into protruding position and the blocking member moves out of the engagement slot. The roll may be a coreless roll of tissue paper. 
     The disclosure also discloses a 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, the spindle having a dispensing position and a loading position, a deflecting member having a shape and being movable between a protruding position protruding towards the spindle dispensing position and a retracted position retracted into the housing away from the spindle dispensing position. The method comprises the steps of placing a roll comprising an indentation complementary to the shape of the deflecting member on the spindle in loading position, moving the spindle from the loading position towards the dispensing position, allowing a first side of the roll, comprising the indentation, to push against the deflecting member in order to move it from the protruding position to the retracted position upon moving the spindle from loading position to dispensing position, wherein the movement of the deflecting member translates into movement of a blocking member into a blocking position thereby hindering the front cover from staying in closed state, and allowing the deflecting member to flex back into protruding position once the spindle is in dispensing position in order to move the blocking member out of the blocking position, and moving the front cover to a closed state. 
     The blocking position of the blocking member blocks an engagement slot arranged in the housing of the dispenser. 
     At least the first side of the roll comprises the indentation. The roll is placed on the spindle such that the indentation faces the deflecting member. 
     The method may further include locking the front cover in closed state by allowing an engagement member arranged on the front cover to interact with the engagement slot.

     DETAILED DESCRIPTION 
     It is to be understood by one of ordinary skill in the art that the following is a description of exemplary embodiments only, and is not intended as limiting the broader aspects of the present disclosure. 
       FIG. 1A  shows a dual dispenser  11  comprising a housing  12  defining an interior. The housing  12  comprises a back wall  37 , a top wall  21 , two outer side walls  221 ,  223  and a central side wall  222 . A first and a second arm  26   a ,  26   b  is hinged at a respective hinge point  27  to a respective support member  28   a ,  28   b , and the arms  26   a ,  26   b  are adapted to pivot about the hinge points  27 . The first arm  26   a  is hinged at a first support member  28   a  arranged close to the first side wall  221 , at the lower part of the back wall  37 . The second arm  26   b  is hinged to a second support member  28   b  arranged at the lower part of the central side wall  222 . The support members  28   a ,  28   b  and the arms  26   a ,  26   b  extend in a direction perpendicular from the back wall  37  of the dispenser  12 , and the arms  26   a ,  26   b  are adapted to pivot in same direction. Each arm  26   a ,  26   b  is provided with a spindle  13   a ,  13 , the spindles  13   a ,  13   b  being attached perpendicular to respective arm  26   a ,  26   b , and the spindles  13   a ,  13   b  being adapted to rotatably support a roll during dispensing. Each spindle  13   a ,  13   b  is provided with a rotatable sleeve  32 . In  FIG. 1A , the rotatable sleeves  32  are intended to interact with rolls disposed on the spindles  13   a ,  13   b , allowing the rolls to rotate during dispensing of the web material from the roll. 
     The first spindle  13   a , being attached to the first arm  26   a , has a first end  17  directed towards the central side wall  222 , and a second end  33  attached to the first arm  26   a . The second spindle  13   b , being attached to the second arm  26   b , has a first end  17  directed towards the second side wall  223  and a second end  33  attached to the second arm  26   b.    
     The spindles  13   a ,  13   b  are movable between a dispensing position and a loading position by means of the arms  26   a ,  26   b . Each respective arm  26   a ,  26   b  has a spindle dispensing position in which the spindle  13   a ,  13   b  is arranged within the housing  12  of the dispenser  11 , shown in  FIG. 1A , and a spindle loading position in which the spindle  13   a ,  13   b  is arranged outside the housing  12  of the dispenser  11  in order to allow loading of a roll onto the spindle  13   a ,  13   b , shown in  FIG. 1B  (second spindle  13   b ). The arms  26   a ,  26   b  are pivotable to place each respective spindle  13   a ,  13   b  in the two positions respectively, and the arms  26   a ,  26   b  are pivotable independently from each other, as shown in  FIG. 1B . Hence, the spindles  13   a ,  13   b  are movable between loading position and dispensing position independent from each other. 
     A front cover  23  is hinged at to the lower parts of the outer side walls  221 ,  223 , i.e. at the lower part of the dispenser  11 . The front cover  23  is movable between an opened state, shown in  FIGS. 1A and 1B , and a closed state (not shown). An engagement member  24  in the shape of a locking hook is arranged at the top of the front cover  23  in a central position corresponding to the central side wall  222  when the front cover  23  is in closed state. The front cover  23  has a dispensing opening  46  and a slidable lid  47  covering one half of the dispensing opening  46  at the time. The slidable lid  47  is slidable between two positions so that one roll at the time, arranged on the spindles  13   a ,  13   b , are available for dispensing when the front cover  23  is in closed state. 
     If the front cover  23  is closed with the second arm  26   b  in loading position, as shown in  FIG. 1B , the front cover will abut the arm  26   b  and push it upwards and inwards such that it folds over the support member  28   b  from a first position into a second position; placing the spindle  13   b  in dispensing position within the interior of the housing  12 . 
       FIGS. 2A-C  and  2 E shows the first arm  26   a  attached to a first support member  28   a  at a pivot point. The pivot point  27  is arranged at a first end  44  of the first arm  26   a . In  FIG. 2A  the arm is folded at the pivot point  27  such that it partly encompasses the first support member  28   a , i.e. the first arm  26   a  is in its first position and the first spindle  13   a  is in dispensing position. The first arm  26   a  comprises two legs  43  with a respective inner bearing surface  39 . The two legs  43  are attached at the pivot point  27  to outer side surfaces  38  of the support member  28   a , such that the bearing surfaces  39  of the first arm  26   a  bear against the outer side surfaces  38  of the support member  28 . The first spindle  13   a  is attached at a second end  45  of the first arm  26   a  opposite the first end  44  comprising the legs  43  and pivot point  27 . When the arm  26   a  is in its first position the spindle  13   a  in its dispensing position is arranged closer to the back wall  37  of the dispenser  11  than the hinge point  27  of the first arm  26   a . In other words, the first arm  26   a  has been folded backwards over the first support member  28   a  and into the housing  12 . 
     The two outer side surfaces  38  of the support member  28   a  each comprises a recess  41  and the bearing surfaces  39  of the first arm  26   a  each comprises a knob  40 . The recess  41  is an area extending in a semi-circular manner from the top front to the lower back of the outer side surface. The bearing surfaces  39  bear against the outer side surfaces  38  as the arm  26   a  is moved between first and second position, and the knobs  40  slide in the complementary recesses  41  in order to guide the movement. In  FIG. 2B  the arm is in motion between its first and second position. Each recess  41  has an extension with closed end positions  42 , and the knobs  40  slide in the recesses  41  between the closed end positions  42 . The knobs  40  arranged in the closed end positions  42  of the recesses  41  corresponds to the first and second position of the first arm  26   a , thereby positioning the first spindle  13   a  in dispensing and loading position respectively. 
     In  FIG. 2C  the first arm  26   a  is in its second position, folded outwards from the dispenser  11  interior, and the first spindle  13   a  is arranged in loading position. 
     In  FIG. 2E  the first arm  26   a  is positioned in a third position hanging downwards. The third position is reached by an overload mechanism allowing the knobs  40  to snap out of the recesses  41  if a force above a predetermined release force is placed on the first spindle  13   a . The snap out is shown in  FIG. 2D , illustrating the legs  43  flexing outwards to allow the knobs  40  to pass the edge of the recesses  41 . In  FIG. 2E  the knobs  40  has completely snapped out of the recesses  41  such that the first arm  26   a  has left its second position and rotated further about the hinge point  27  into its third position. 
     The second arm  26   b  and second support member  28   a , not shown in  FIGS. 2A-E , comprises the same elements as the first arm  26   a  and first support member  28   a , and facilitate pivoting between first and second position in the same way. The overload mechanism may be present also between the second arm  26   b  and support member  28   b.    
     A deflecting member  14  is arranged in the central side wall  222  of the housing  12 . The deflecting member  14  is movable between a protruding position protruding towards the first spindle  13   a  in dispensing position, shown in  FIG. 3A , and a retracted position retracted into the central side wall  222  of the housing  12  away from the spindle  13   a  in dispensing position, shown in  FIG. 3B . 
     A receiving part  34  is arranged at the second side wall  223  and interacts with the first end  17  of the second spindle  13   b  in dispensing position. The receiving part  34  have the same frustoconical shape as the deflecting member  14 . 
     The deflecting member  14  is connected to a resilient arm  16  connecting the deflecting member  14  to the central side wall  222  of the housing  12 . In protruding position the deflecting member  14  is protruding from the side surface of the central side wall  222 , protruding into the interior of the housing  12 . In  FIG. 3A  a roll  30  having an indentation  29  at a first side  31  positioned at the first end  17  of the first spindle  13   a  is provided on the first spindle  13   a . The indentation  29  is complementary to the frustoconical shape of the deflecting member  14  thereby allowing the deflecting member  14  to protrude into the indentation  29 . No force is exerted on the deflecting member  14  and the resilient arm  16  is in relaxed state. The deflecting member  14  is in protruding position and the first spindle  13   a  is in the dispensing position. The first end  17  of the first spindle  13   a  is engaged in the deflecting member  14 . 
     If a force is applied to the deflecting member  14  the resilient arm  16  bends and the deflecting member  14  moves into its retracted position inside the central side wall  222 , shown in  FIG. 3B . This happens for example when the spindle  13   a  holding the roll  30  moves from loading to dispensing position and the side  31  of the roll  30  abuts the deflecting member  14 . Once the spindle  13   a  is in dispensing position the force is removed due to the indentation  29  arranged adjacent the through hole in the side  31  of the roll  30 , i.e. the tension on the resilient arm  16  is released and the deflecting member  14  flexes back into protruding position, shown in  FIG. 3A . 
     If the roll  30  does not have a complementary shape indentation  29 , or if the roll  30  is placed with the indentation  29  facing the second end  33  of the spindle  13   a , the deflecting member will stay in retracted position. 
     The receiving part  34  having the same shape as the deflecting member  14  fits in an indentation  29  in a roll  30  being complementary to the shape of the deflecting member  14 . It is movable between a protruding position and a retracted position. 
     The central side wall  222  of  FIGS. 1A-B  is shown in  FIGS. 4-5 . Shown in  FIG. 4 ; the deflecting member  14  is connected to a blocking member  15  by a rod  19  translating a horizontal movement of the deflecting member  14 , between protruding position and retracted position in the central side wall  222 , into vertical movement of the blocking member  15  moving it in and out of an engagement slot  20  in the central side wall  222  at the top wall  21 . 
     In  FIG. 5A  the deflecting member  14  is in protruding position, and the blocking member  15  is out of blocking position thereby not blocking the engagement slot  20  (seen in  FIG. 4 ). The engagement slot  20  is thus available for the locking hook  24  of the front cover  23  to engage with, and the front cover  23  can thus be maintained and locked in closed position. In  FIG. 5B  the deflecting member  14  is pushed into retracted position, the resilient member  16  is tensed, the blocking member  15  is pushed upwards into the engagement slot  20  by the rod  19  and the engagement slot  20  is thereby blocked. The front cover  23  is unable to stay in closed position since the locking hook  24  cannot engage with the blocked engagement slot  20 . 
     A color indication  36  is visible in an indication window  25 , shown in  FIGS. 1A-B , when the blocking member  15  is blocking the engagement slot  20 . The indication  36  moves in and out of the indication window  25  with the movement of the blocking member  15  in and out of blocking position in the engagement slot  20 . The indication  36  indicates to the service personnel if it is possible to lock the front cover  23  in closed state or not, thereby indicating if the roll  30  is correctly loaded or not. 
       FIG. 6A  shows a deflecting member  14  of truncated frustoconical shape comprising a guiding groove  18 . The guiding groove  18  is adapted to receive the first end  17  of the first spindle  13   a  and guide it into an engaged position in the deflecting member  14  when the first spindle  13   a  is in dispensing position. In  FIG. 6B  the frustoconical shape is chamfered at one side to facilitate the edge of the first side  31  of the roll arranged on the spindle  13   a  to pass the deflecting member  14  when moved to dispensing position. The chamfered surface  35  is facing outwards from the interior of the housing  12 , thereby facing the first end  17  of the first spindle  13   a  as it moves from loading position to dispensing position.
