SAVING, PROTECTIVE AND DOSING DEVICE FOR TOILET PAPER

Abstract

The invention relates to a device for saving, protecting and portioning toilet paper, said device being designed to portion the quantity of toilet paper supplied to the user by adjusting the predetermined quantity or length of paper dispensed, and the programmed time between one dispensation and another. In addition, the features of the device prevent all or a portion of the paper from being stolen, and the front screen of the device permits the user to know when they may access a new dispensation of paper by operating an actuating means. In this way, the user does not have access to all the paper at once, so they cannot steal or waste same, reducing the cost of operating and maintaining toilet areas, and improving the appearance of the toilet service.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0010] As shown in FIG. 2, the saving, protection and dosing device for toilet paper, object of this invention, includes a housing (1) able to contain at least one toilet paper roll in a spool (5). Such housing (1) is made of a cabinet container (2) with walls perpendicularly oriented to its base (17); such cabinet has in its frontal part with an access door (3), and it is joined to one of the end sides to the cabinet (2) by mean of fixtures (6). Such fixtures are preferably hinges that allow open and close the housing.

[0011] As it is shown in FIG. 3, on one of the side walls of the housing and the base center (17), there are two rolls units: one primary unit of rolls (7) and a secondary unit of rolls (8) respectively. The primary unit of rolls (7) includes two arms (9) perpendicularly to the side wall of the cabinet (2), the ends of the arms (9) are joined by a primary shaft which will be used as a rotation axis of two rolls (10; the secondary roll unit includes a roll holder (11) located on the cabinet (17) base (2); the holder (11) includes two arms joined by a secondary shaft that will work as an axis to hold two rolls (12), one of them will have a servomotor (16) that will allow the axis movement. All axes will be parallel; over the base (17) of the next the secondary unit of the roll, an exit is located (18) from where the paper will come out; the rolls (11) (12) are built of UHMW machining plastic covered with antistatic rubber.

[0012] In the rear wall (13) of the cabinet there is a cylindrical element (14) long and with an angular end, which works as a fastening mean for the spool of the toilet paper roll (5); in the same rear wall (13) there are at least two fasten means (15) which will allow the saving device, object of this invention, may be hung from a wall or vertical surface, and preferably locate four holes near the housing edges.

[0013] In the access door (3) there is a window (4) preferably made of polycarbonate that allows seeing the paper spool, as it is shown in FIG. 1. In the same door (3), there is an electronic control module (23) with a card (24) show in FIG. 4 and FIG. 5 and it includes several buttons (25) and a microcontroller (26), such buttons allow to access to the options menu in order to modulate the time between a paper dispatch and another, and also allows the quantification of the dispatch events as well as of two rolls (10); the secondary roll unit includes a roll holder (11) located on the cabinet (17) base (2); the holder (11) includes two arms joined by a secondary shaft that will work as an axis to hold two rolls (12), one of them will have a servomotor (16) that will allow the axis movement. All axes will be parallel; over the base (17) of the next the secondary unit of the roll, an exit is located (18) from where the paper will come out; the rolls (11) (12) are built of UHMW machining plastic covered with antistatic rubber.

[0014] In the rear wall (13) of the cabinet there is a cylindrical element (14) long and with an angular end, which works as a fastening mean for the spool of the toilet paper roll (5); in the same rear wall (13) there are at least two fasten means (15) which will allow the saving device, object of this invention, may be hung from a wall or vertical surface, and preferably locate four holes near the housing edges.

[0015] In the access door (3) there is a window (4) preferably made of polycarbonate that allows seeing the paper spool, as it is shown in FIG. 1. In the same door (3), there is an electronic control module (23) with a card (24) show in FIG. 4 and FIG. 5 and it includes several buttons (25) and a microcontroller (26), such buttons allow to access to the options menu in order to modulate the time between a paper dispatch and another, and also allows the quantification of the dispatch events.
