Abstract (en)

[origin: US2003121425A1] The invention relates to a device (10) for gathering and compacting compactible goods such as paper towels. Said device comprises a housing (12) provided with an opening (14) appointed for supplying the goods, with a holder (16) for holding the compactible goods, and with a compacting element (18). Said compacting element extends above the holder, can pivot around an arbor (22) and can compact the goods between the holder bottom and the compacting element. The aim of the invention is to permit, with a high degree of reliability, a problem-free compacting of goods using constructively simple measures. To this end, the invention provides that a drive (34) with a gearing (36) exits the compacting element (18). In order to pivot the compacting element, said gearing meshes with a denticulated element (42) that curves around the arbor (22) serving as a center of curvature.
