  • Patent number: 11986134
    Abstract: To dispense a predetermined length of a sheet hygienically. In a sheet dispensing device, a sheet feeding mechanism feeds out a predetermined length for use of a sheet from a sheet dispensing port, and at this time, a part, of the sheet, located upstream of the sheet dispensing port in terms of a feeding direction of the sheet is held by a driving roller and a driven roller. The driven roller is biased by leaf springs to be pressed toward the driving roller. Consequently, the sheet is dispensed while hanging down from the sheet dispensing port. When a user pulls down the hanging sheet while holding it, the sheet is cut from the vicinity of a held part, so that the user can take the predetermined length for use of the sheet hygienically.

  • Publication number: 20230102281
    Abstract: A wet sheet with a predetermined length is securely provided while drying is prevented. When a motor control part receives a detection signal from a hand hovering sensor, a motor is driven from a standby state to rotate a driving roller. When a cutting line is detected by a cutting line detecting sensor, the driving of the motor is continued until a predetermined time set beforehand in which the detected cutting line reaches the side downstream of a contact point between the driving roller and a driven roller in terms of the feeding direction has elapsed, to be stopped. The detected cutting line is located downstream of the contact point between the driving roller and the driven roller in terms of the feeding direction. In front of the detected cutting line, the wet sheet for one sheet is present and is detected by the sheet detecting sensor.
