TOILET-PAPER AND THE LIKE.
Lflltntleiii.
Application filed February 18, 1919. Serial No. 277,710.
To all whom it may concern:
lo it known that LGnonen T. Jonnson, a citizen of the United States, residing. at New York, in the county of New York, State of New York, have invented a certain new and useful Improvement in Toilet-Paper and the like, of which the following is a specification, reference the accompanying drawings.
The invention has relation to wound rolls or packages of toilet paper, and other con tinuous strip or web material, having transverse lines of weakness by which the breaking or tearing of the strip or web across its width is facilitated in detaching portions of its length.
The invention is an improvement in rolls or packages of the class having a radial binder and a transverse line of weakness adjacent the same, and which for the purpose of being dispensed are placed in a dispensing fixture of the general character of that shown in the drawings hereof, to secure in being withdrawn from. such fixture the acti on which is set forth hereinafter.
The invention consists in a roll or package of the class last mentioned having around the radial binder a segmental cut surrounding practically the entire residual island except at one side thereof. Also, in a roll or package having at the latter side of the island a transverse cut or cuts substantially sub-tending the chord of the segment, so that the island is defined with substantial completeness. A feature of invention is a radial hinder having an elongated engement with the web-n'iaterial in the dircction of the length of the latter.
.z-tn embodiment of the invention is illustrated in the drawings, in which latter,-
lligure 1 is an elevation of a wound roll or package of toilet paper embodying the features of the present invention but in its flattened state before being bent into kidneyshape.
Fig. 2 is a view of the said roll or package in section in the plane indicated by dotted line 2,. 2, Fig. 1.
Fig. 3 shows in side elevation a dispensing fixture having applied thereto a roll or package like that shown in Figs. 1 and 2.
Fig. 4- is a side elevation of the fixture and roll or package with one side-arm of the fixture removed and vertical section.
Fig. 5 is a front elevation of the dispensbe'ing had therein to the back-plate in a ing fixture, and Fig. 6 is a plan thereof partly in section.
. In the case of theroll or package shown in the drawings the wound material 1 incloses a core 2 of flexible material having its ends overlapped with each other, the wound layers and the core being in flattened form. Figs. 1 and 2 show a roll or package in straight condition, while Figs. 3 and t show one to which a crescent or kidney shape has been given, such shape being maintained by the shape of the roll-support A forming a part of the dispensing fixture. The crescent or kidney shape usually in practice is imparted to the roll or package by the manufacturer before shipment, and retained by a wrapper which is removed at the time of applying the roll or package to the fixture, but the roll or package may be shipped in the flat state shown in Figs. 1 and 2 and be bent into crescent or kidney shape at the time of applying the same to the rollsupport A.
The binder 3, which is shown engaged with the wound layers at the approximate center of one face of the flattened roll or package, is engaged at its inner end with all the contacting portions or thicknesses of the core. The said binder is in stapleform, and has the extremities of its two branches clenched upon the core at the interior of the roll or package.
In conformity with one feature of the invention the width of the said staple is disposed in the direction of the length of the strip or web, so that the binder is in elongated engagement with the web material lengthwise of the grain of the latter.
In this instance the transverse line of weakness comprises an intermediate trans verse cut 4 and opposite marginal or side cuts 6, 6, all of which extend radially through the various wound layers from the exterior to the core. The cuts are stepped with relation to one another through the overlapping of the ends of the intermediate cut 4 with the inner ends of the marginal or side cuts 6, 6. It will be apparent that in the case of this particular arrangement of cuts, strain exerted upon the free outer end of the web or strip and tending to part the paper at the line of weakness will have to rupture, break, or tear only the portions intermediate the inner ends of cuts 6, 6, and the overlapping ends of out 4, and this will occur readily within narrowly-defined limits by tearing parallel with the grain of the paper.
The segmental cut 5 is located at the side of binder 3 opposite that at which cut at is located. The segmental cut 5 substantially surrounds the binder, and its ends are in close proximity to the said line.
In the bent state of the roll or package, the binder and cuts are located at the concave side thereof. It will be clear from Figs. 3 and 4, that when the hanging free end-portion 8 of'the web or strip is pulled upon, the strain will tend to straighten the outer layer across the concavity of the roll or package and will cause the paper to tear in the direction of its grain in lines extending from two ends of the crescent-shaped cut 5 to the adjacent cut 4. Thereupon the said layer will assume the position of a chord 00, w, of the segment-shaped roll or package, as in Figs. 3 and 4. Continuation of the pull upon end-portion 8 will cause the outstanding layer to tear between the ends of cut 4 and the inner ends of cuts 6, 6, leaving the detached end-portion 8 in the hand grasping it while the portion of such layer below the cuts will drop down into position to be grasped, as heretofore.
By reason of the fact that the segmental orv crescent shaped cut 5 practically surrounds the binder 3 so that its ends are located at opposite sides of the binder and in close proximity to line th, and of the further fact that the paper tears in straight lines parallel with its grain between the ends of cut 5 and cut 4, the size and shape of the residual island as it is termed are determined by the cut 5. The so-called island is the small mass of paper that remains held in place by the binder as the layers are drawn ofit and detached. It would tend to enlarge transversely, in approaching the core if a segmental or crescent-shaped cut 5 were not made, by reason of increasingly larger portions of paper being detached from the successive layers. The segmental or crescent-shaped cut eliminates this tendency. By reason of having the said out extend around at opposite sides of the binder, it is easier foreach layer in turn to spring away from the body of the roll or package into the position of the chord-like portion w, w, in Fig. 3. This springing outward of the successive layers in turn is further facilitated by the employment of a narraw binder 3, which permits the side-portions of the portions of paper remaining held by the binder to assume inclined positions which do not take up so much space laterally, and which permit subsequent layers to move away from the body of the roll or package more easily.
What is claimed as the invention is l. A roll or package of wound web material having a radial binder and a transverse line of weakness adjacent said binder, and also having a segmental cut around the binder surrounding practically the entire residual island except at the end thereof adjoining said line of weakness.
2. A roll or package of wound web material having a radial binder and weakened along a transverse line adjacent said binder, also having a segmental cut around the binder surrounding practically the entire residual island except at one side thereof, with a transverse out or cuts at the other side of the binder substantially sub-tending a chord of the segment so that the island is defined with substantial completeness.
3. A roll or package of wound web material having the layers at one side thereof bound together by a radial binder, and also having said layers penetrated by stepped cuts overlapping with each other in a transverse series across the roll or package, and penetrated by a segmental cut around the binder with the ends of the segment respectively in close proximity to a transverse cut.
4. A roll or package of wound web material having the layers at one side thereof bound together by a radial binder in elongated engagement with the web material in line with its grain and also having the layers of said web material penetrated by stepped cuts overlapping with each other in a transmrse series across the roll or package, and penetrated by a segmental cut around the binder with the ends of said segment respectively in close proximity to a transverse cut.
5. A roll or package of wound web material having a core, and having the layers at one side of the roll or package penctrated by stepped cuts overlapping with each other in a transverse series across said roll and by a segmental cut with its ends respectively in close proximity to a transverse out, said segmental cut partially e11- circling a radially situated binder in elongated engagement with the web material, in the direction of the length of the latter and engaging with the said core.
In testimony whereof I ailix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
