  • Publication number: 20110108202
    Abstract: In a device for joining strips of wipe materials originating from at least two stacks of packaged materials, a first stack of wipe material which is in use and being used up and a spare stack of wipe material are joined to each other by a joining member placed on an exposed fold of the spare stack to face an exposed fold of the first stack. The joining member includes a component which can be detached after placing the stacks of material one on top of the other and protrudes so that it can be identified and grasped. The joining member includes an adhesive-coated part which is either protected by the detachable component or is in adhesive contact with the exposed fold of the first stack when the detachable component has been removed due to force of gravity pressing the spare stack onto the first stack.

  • Publication number: 20110101019
    Abstract: A packaging box for pre-cut wipe material comprises a base, side and end walls, an upper flap with attachment tabs, the upper flap having a directly formed cutting member to cut the material stored in the packaging box, and an intermediate articulated flap comprising, on its upper visible face, at least one curved protruding shape with, at its end, a longitudinal bulge which ensures guidance of the material as it emerges from inside the box. The width of the intermediate flap is less than the width of the box in order to allow the strip of material to emerge, and the upper flap has an inner face with at least one curved shape which matches at least the shape on the intermediate flap, said shapes allowing the strip of material to emerge so that it can be cut along the perforation line on the strip.

  • Patent number: 5054706
    Abstract: Device wherein the support arm (3) elastically hinged on the base plate (1) with wall fixing for the unit in order to constantly apply the roll of material (R) against the drive drum (5) with a non-slip surface, is fitted with a device comprising a first element (6) fixed onto the arm, and a second element (7) fixed so as to swing on the base plate with return elastically in the direction of the first element; these elements being judiciously positioned and profiled in their contact zone in order to provide dispensing with substantially constant pressure of the roll of material on the drive drum throughout the unrolling operation.
