Device that enables a person to separate from a roll any length of flexible sheet material, typically toilet paper or paper kitchen towel. The moving parts of the device consist of a rotor, to which the roll is firmly attached, and an L-shaped braking arm that has a limited freedom of movement around a peg that can be added to any conventional roll-holding device. The free end of the roll is slid through a slit in one leg of the L. Directing the pull on the roll's free end up or down, the arm will bend slightly upward or downward. When bent upward, a smooth section of an opening in the other leg of the L becomes engaged with a section of the rotor consisting of a sprocket or gear (Variant A), or with a cylindrical surface of the rotor (Variant B), and thus the rotor/roll assembly is allowed to turn unimpeded under the effect of pull on the end of the roll. When bent downward, the sprocket or gear of the rotor becomes engaged with a protrusion in the same opening of the arm (Variant A), or the said cylindrical surface of the rotor becomes engaged with a braking surface in the same opening (Variant B), and thereby the rotor/roll assembly will stop turning. Increasing the pull, a piece of the roll outside slit will tear off.
L'invention concerne un dispositif qui permet à une personne de séparer d'un rouleau la longueur désirée de matériau en feuille souple, par exemple une feuille de papier toilette ou d'essuie-tout. Les parties amovibles de l'appareil se composent d'un rotor, auquel le rouleau est solidement attaché, et un bras de freinage en forme de L qui a une liberté de mouvement limitée autour d'une cheville qui peut être ajoutée à n'importe quel dispositif classique de porte-rouleau. Le bras s'incline légèrement vers le haut ou vers le bas en fonction de la direction verticale que vous donnez à l'extrémité libre du rouleau lorsque vous tirez dessus. Lorsque le bras est incliné vers le haut, une partie lisse d'une ouverture de l'autre branche du L entre en prise avec une section du rotor composée d'un pignon ou engrenage (variante A), ou avec une surface cylindrique du rotor (variante B), et ainsi l'ensemble rotor/rouleau peut tourner librement sous l'effet de la traction sur l'extrémité du rouleau. Lorsque le bras est incliné vers le bas, le pignon ou engrenage du rotor entre en prise avec une saillie dans la même ouverture de bras (variante A), ou ladite surface cylindrique du rotor entre en prise avec une surface de freinage dans la même ouverture (variante B), et ainsi l'ensemble rotor/rouleau cesse de tourner. Si vous accentuez la traction, un morceau de la fente extérieure du rouleau se déchire.
