Patent ID: 8056459

Claim:
Device to assist braking of a reel of wipe material in a wipe material dispensing machine, the machine having, in a housing with a protective cover, lower end pieces that support a rotating drum including a cutting device, upper end pieces that support the reel of material on a spool, and an anti-kinking device to prevent kinking of the material obtained from the reel, said anti-kinking device including a lever and a counterweight cam interacting with the lever each time the drum revolves, the lever having an upper gooseneck shaped part partially surrounding a support stub that accommodates the spool of the reel and a lower end that interacts with the counterweight cam, said cam being articulated on a support attached to a transverse end piece of the rotating drum and being integrated with movement of the rotating drum, the upper gooseneck shaped part of the lever having a non-circular curved internal configuration with an outwardly flaring amplitude and, in an area of maximum amplitude, having an internally oriented perpendicular anchoring hook operative to catch in a bead of elastomer material located on an end piece of the stub thereby ensuring operation and locking of the reel.
