Container for receiving a balancing weight roller

Abstract

A container configured to receive a belt of balancing weights and to dispense the same is formed as a cartridge that is substantially closed on all sides. The container has two spaced apart sidewalls, dimensioned to receive the belt roll between them, as well as a circumferential wall, which connects the sidewalls to one another and is provided with a dispensing opening for the passage of the belt. At the inner side of at least one of the sidewalls there is at least one brake tab that is laterally adjacent to the belt or the belt roll and spreading slanted against a rearward movement of the belt or the belt roller.

1 . A balancing weight dispenser configured to dispense a balancing weight from a belt of balancing weights formed into a belt roll, the container comprising:
 a cartridge substantially closed on all sides, the cartridge having
 two spaced apart sidewalls dimensioned to receive the belt roll between them, and 
 a circumferential wall connecting said two sidewalls to one another and having therein a dispensing opening dimensioned to pass the belt therethrough, 
   at least one brake tab at an inner side of at least one of the two sidewalls, said brake tab being laterally adjacent to the belt, and spread slanted against a rearward movement of the belt o, and   the belt of balancing weights comprising a plurality of balancing weights attached to an adhesive tape, the belt of balancing weights disposed inside the cartridge.   
     
     
         2 . A balancing weight dispenser according to  claim 1 , wherein two brake tabs are provided at the same one of the two sidewalls of the cartridge, said brake tabs lying substantially diametrically opposite to each other with relation to an axis of the belt roll and radially aligned to one another and being adjacent to a lateral side of the belt roll. 
     
     
         3 . A balancing weight dispenser according to  claim 1 , wherein the cartridge includes a cardboard material, and wherein a brake tab is a portion of said sidewall folded to project out of a plane of a sidewall from the two sidewalls. 
     
     
         4 . A balancing weight dispenser according to  claim 3 , wherein the cartridge includes a single cardboard blank, comprising (i) a substantially rectangular base plane configured to form a first one of the two sidewalls, (ii) circumferential wall segments adjoining respective outer edges of the base plane and configured to form the circumferential wall, and (iii) surface elements adjoining outer edges of said circumferential wall segments and together configured to form a second of the two side walls. 
     
     
         5 . A balancing weight dispenser according to  claim 4 , wherein a circular cardboard cylinder is arranged centrally on an inner side of the base plane, said cardboard cylinder configured as a hub for the belt roll and having a height substantially corresponding to the width of the belt. 
     
     
         6 . A balancing weight dispenser according to  claim 4 , wherein the base plane is slanted in the region of one of its corners, and that the dispense opening is formed in a circumferential wall segment associated with a surface segment for the circumferential wall. 
     
     
         7 . A balancing weight dispenser according to  claim 4 , wherein a first surface element adjoins an outer edge of a first circumferential wall segment from said circumferential wall segments, a second surface element adjoins an outer edge of a second circumferential wall segment from said circumferential wall segments, wherein said first and second circumferential wall segments are mutually opposing one another, each of said first and second circumferential wall segments carrying a corresponding brake tab from the two brake tabs. 
     
     
         8 . A balancing weight dispenser according to  claim 7 , wherein a first surface element ( 38 ) is adjacent to a second circumferential wall segment ( 14   c ) being orthogonally to one of the two first circumferential wall segments ( 14   a ,  14   d ), which first surface element covers the both second surface elements ( 28 ,  30 ) forming the second side wall. 
     
     
         9 . A balancing weight dispenser according to  claim 1 , wherein a segment of said circumferential wall is inclined downwardly from the dispensing opening in order to further reduce, in operation of the dispenser, a sliding motion of the belt back into the dispensing opening.
