BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention
[0001] This invention relates to a dispenser, particularly to a paper roll dispenser.
2. Description of the Prior Art
[0002] Since digital automation and computer printers spring up in offices; therefore, use
of paper becomes wider and wider and thus bringing people much convenience, such as
information paper and packaging paper, and in use of the packaging paper, crumpled
paper is used most extensively, but the process of producing crumpled paper needs
a certain manpower and consumes much time. Therefore, a "CRUMPLED PAPER MACHINE" is
disclosed in an
U.S patent gazette No. 9315352. This device is able to have the paper roll pushing forward along a guide roller
and a brake arm rolling wheel direction and extending to a funnel type passage and
then, the paper guided in the passage will be compressed to produce creases by making
use of the limited space, thus able to save manpower and time and further solve the
problem of how to constrict and collect the paper efficiently.
[0003] However, the conventional crumpled paper machine has only a function of constriction
of paper. When the paper needs cutting or being cut apart, extra cutting tools like
scissors or art knives are necessary to be used, likely to be dangerous in use. Further,
that the paper roll, the guide roller and the brake arm rolling wheel are provided
at a same side will probably produce interference and impossible to operate smoothly.
[0004] In view of foresaid drawbacks, the inventor of this invention thinks that the conventional
crumpled paper machine is complicated in structure and apt to cause trouble and needs
to be ameliorated and hence devises this invention.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
[0005] The objective of this invention is to offer a paper roll dispenser, which is able
to produce a technique of two different functions: cutting paper and producing crumpled
paper by adjusting the provided direction of the paper roll, fluent and convenient
in use.
[0006] The paper roll dispenser in the present invention includes a base provided with a
foundation frame, which has two sides respectively provided with an erect frame. A
carrying deice is formed with two position-limiting members fixed with the erect frame,
and the position-limiting members installed with a shaft lever therebetween. A press
plate has two ends respectively provided with an interactive member pivotally connected
with the erect frame, and the interactive member is connected with an elastic member,
which has another end connected with the erect frame. A guide device is provided with
a support rod connected with the erect frame, the guide device being parallel to the
shaft lever. A crumpled paper device is fixed with the foundation frame and provided
with a cutting member.
[0007] The paper roll dispenser of this invention is by changing the provided direction
of the paper roll and by making use of the press plate and the crumpled paper device
to produce a technique of two different functions: cutting of paper and constriction
of paper, fluent and convenient in use.

[0011] The carrying device 20 is formed with two position-limiting members 21, which are
oblique U-shaped grooves 22 and fixed with the erect frame 12. Further, the position-limiting
members 21 can be assembled therebetween with a shaft lever 23 for series connecting
a paper roll 24 made of kraft. The shaft lever 23 has at two ends of the paper roll
24 respectively connected with a stop member 25, which are inserted through the shaft
lever 23 for stopping the paper roll 24 from sliding.
[0012] The press plate 30 is positioned at a fist side of the carrying device 20 and has
two ends respectively provided with an interactive member 31, which is pivotally connected
with the erect frame 12 and connected with an elastic member 32, which has another
end connected with the erect frame 12. Further, the press plate 30 is connected with
a hold-down strip 33 parallel to the press plate 30.
[0013] The guide device 40 is positioned at a second side of the carrying device 20 and
provided with a support rod 41 connected with the erect frame 12 and parallel to the
shaft lever 23. The support rod 41 has two ends respectively connected with a stationary

firmly secured with the erect frame 12. Further, the support rod 41 is mounted thereon
with a rolling wheel 43, which has two sides respectively fixed with a positioning
member 44 inserted through the support rod 41.
[0014] The crumpled paper device 50 is located at the first side of the carrying device
20 and combined with the foundation frame 11. The crumpled paper device 50 is funnel-shaped
and formed with an intake 51 and an outlet 52, and a funnel type passage 53 is formed
between the intake 51 and the outlet 52. The crumpled paper device 50 is provided
with a cutting member 54 beside the outlet 52, and the cutting member 54 is V-shaped
and provided with an opening 541 whose two sides are respectively bored with a plurality
of threaded holes 542. Further, one side of the opening 541 has the cutting member
54 firmly connected with the crumpled paper device 50 by means of plural bolts 543,
and the opening 541 has two sides respectively disposed with a blade 544, which is
serrated or wave shaped.
[0015] Referring to Figs. 2 and 3, which show a state of using the paper roll dispenser
100 to constrict the paper roll. To operate the paper roll dispenser 100, a user is
first to have the paper roll 24 tandem connected with the shaft lever 23 and have
the two stop members 25 respectively fitted at the two ends of the paper roll 24 for
fixing the paper roll around the intermediate portion of the shaft lever 23. Next,
the shaft lever 23 is respectively positioned on the position-limiting members 21
and, by the elastic force of the elastic member 32 of the press plate 30, the press
plate 30 can press against and fix the paper roll in position for maintaining the
stability of the carrying device 20 not to sway when the carrying device 20 is used.
At this time, a user pulls out downward the paper 241 of the paper roll 24 and then
have the paper 241 passing by the guide device 40 and then have the paper 241 passing
round the guide device 40 and finally the paper 241 of the paper roll 24 is guided
to the intake 51 of the crumpled paper device 50. Since the crumpled paper device
50 is provided with the funnel type passage 53; therefore, when the paper 241 of the
paper roll 24 passes through the size-reduced funnel type passage 53, the paper 241
of the paper roll 24 will be compressed to produce creases. After the paper 241 of
the paper roll 24 passes out of the outlet 52, the crumpled paper 241 can be pulled
out and cut by blade 544.
[0016] Referring to Figs. 1 and 3, in this invention, the crumpled paper device 50 is positioned
at a first side of the carrying device 20, while the guide device 40 is positioned
at a second side of the carrying device 20; therefore, the paper 241 will first pass
round the guide device 40 at the second side of the carrying device 20, and then guided
to the crumpled paper device 50 at the first side of the carrying device 20. By so
designing, in the process a user pulls out the paper 241, a tension will produce to
enable the process of producing crumpled paper to be more direct and more effective,
able to save lots of labor and quick in production.
[0017] Referring to Figs. 2 and 4, which show a state that the paper roll dispenser cut
the paper roll. After the paper 241 of the paper roll 24 is pulled downward, the paper
241 of the paper roll 24 will be moved along the underside of the press plate 30 to
have the press plate 30 pressing against and fixing the paper roll 24 by elastic force
of the elastic member 32 of the press plate 30, thus able to maintain the stability
of the carrying device 20 not to sway when the carrying device 20 is used. Lastly,
the paper 241 of the paper toll 24 can be separated by separating the hold-down strip
33 from the paper roll 24, thus achieving the purpose of cutting apart the paper 241.
[0018] Referring to Fig. 5, what is worth mentioning is that the direction of the paper
roll 24 can be replaced by adjusting the switch button 132 of the engage element 13.
If the switch button 132 is moved left, the insert pin 133 can be shifted to the first
position along the receiving portion 131 and thus loosen the press plate 30 for facilitating
replacing the paper toll 24. On the contrary, if the switch button 132 is moved right,
the insert pin 133 will be shifted to the second position along the receiving portion
131 and at this time, the press plate 30 will rest against the carrying device 20
and restrict the paper roll 24 from moving.
