Device for dispensing paper sections of predetermined length

Abstract

The invention relates to a device (10) for dispensing paper sections of predetermined length, with a device (26), which is operated by pulling on an end (74) of the paper web, and which separates the paper sections from the paper web (24) wound onto a paper roll (22) and provides easy manual access to the end (74) of the paper web that follows the separated paper section has been released. To allow a reliable and trouble-fee transporting, cutting, and dispensing of paper webs of high strength and elasticity, it is intended that the device (10) comprises a pressure spring (34) that bears upon a circumferential surface (36) of the paper roll (22), whereby a free end of the pressure spring (34) is oriented in a direction opposite to the direction of movement of the paper roll (22), whereby the pressure spring (34) is embodied rod-shaped and is connected pivotably to a portion (32) of the housing of the device (10), the pressure spring (34) is pivotable from a vertical operating position to a horizontal service position to release the paper roll (22), and the length of the pressure spring is such that in its pivoted state, one end of the pressure spring projects beyond the edge of the housing of the device (10).

What is claimed: 
     
         1 . A device ( 10 ) for dispensing paper sections of predetermined length, with a device ( 26 ), which is actuated by pulling an end ( 74 ) of the paper web, at least sectionally separates paper sections from a paper web ( 24 ) wound onto a paper roll ( 22 ) and provides easy manual access to the end ( 74 ) of the paper web that follows after the release of the at least sectionally separated paper section, whereby the device ( 10 ) comprises a pressure spring ( 34 ) that bears upon a circumferential surface ( 36 ) of the paper roll ( 22 ), whereby a free end of the pressure spring ( 34 ) is oriented in a direction opposite to the direction of movement of the paper roll ( 22 ),
 characterized in that   the pressure spring ( 34 ) is embodied rod-shaped and is connected to the housing portion ( 32 ) of the device ( 10 ), in that the pressure spring ( 34 ) is pivotable from a vertical operating position to a horizontal service position for releasing the paper roll ( 22 ), and in that the length of the pressure spring ( 34 ) is such that in its pivoted state one end of the pressure spring projects beyond an edge of the housing of the device ( 10 ).   
     
     
         2 . The device of  claim 1 ,
 characterized in that   the end of the pressure spring ( 34 ) bears upon the circumferential surface ( 36 ) of the paper roll ( 22 ) approximately tangentially.   
     
     
         3 . The device of  claim 1 ,
 characterized in that   the end of the pressure spring ( 34 ) is embodied with a rounded shape.   
     
     
         4 . The device of  claim 1 ,
 characterized in that   the pressure spring ( 34 ) is embodied of flat spring steel.
