Dispenser

Abstract

A dispenser for dispensing at least one perforated web from a storage of web material, the dispenser including: a housing arranged to hold a storage of perforated web material, wherein a web path extends along a feeding direction in an interior of the housing from a storage position to a dispensing opening of the dispenser, and a separation arrangement being arranged along said web path, for separating the at least one perforated web along the perforations thereof, said separation arrangement including a first unit and a second unit, the second unit being arranged downstream of said first unit. The first unit is arranged to provide a tensioning force on said web, said tensioning force being at least 2 N/m, and the second unit being arranged to stretch the web material along the length of the web and along the width of the web.

         20 . A dispenser for dispensing at least one web material, said web material comprising perforation lines dividing said web material into individual products, from a storage of web material, the dispenser comprising:
 a housing comprising a storage of the web material, wherein said web material extends along a web path in a feeding direction in an interior of said housing from a storage position to a dispensing opening of the dispenser, and   a separation arrangement being arranged along said web path, for separating said at least one web material along said perforation lines,   said separation arrangement comprising a first unit and a second unit, said second unit being arranged downstream said first unit, as seen in said feeding direction of said web path,   wherein   said separation arrangement is adapted to provide   a first pull force required to pull said web material downstream said first unit, and   a second pull force required to pull said web material downstream said second unit,   said first pull force being 10 to 50% of said second pull force.   
     
     
         21 . A dispenser according to  claim 20 , wherein said first pull force is greater than 0.5 N. 
     
     
         22 . A dispenser according to  claim 20 , wherein said second pull force is less than 8 N. 
     
     
         23 . A dispenser according to  claim 20 , wherein said second pull force is less than a perforation strength of said perforation lines of said web material. 
     
     
         24 . A dispenser according to  claim 20 , wherein said storage of web material is in the form of a stack. 
     
     
         25 . A dispenser according to  claim 20 , wherein said web material comprises a first web being divided into sheet products defined between subsequent perforation lines extending over a width of said first web. 
     
     
         26 . A dispenser according to  claim 25 , wherein said web material comprises at least a second web being divided into sheet products defined between subsequent perforation lines extending over a width of said second web, and wherein said first and second webs are interfolded so that said perforation lines of said first web are offset from said perforation lines of said second web in a length direction of said first web. 
     
     
         27 . A dispenser according to  claim 20 , wherein said web material comprises a plurality of individual web sections, said web sections being interconnected by connecting members. 
     
     
         28 . A dispenser for dispensing at least one web material from a storage of the web material, the dispenser comprising:
 a housing arranged to hold the storage of the web material, wherein a web path extends in a feeding direction in an interior of said housing from a storage position to a dispensing opening of the dispenser, and   a separation arrangement comprising at least two units, each unit defining at least one passage for said web material, said two units being arranged along the web path for separating the at least one perforated web material along the perforations thereof; wherein   said at least two units are arranged to be resilient so as to be automatically adaptable to intermittent thickness variations in said web material.   
     
     
         29 . A dispenser in accordance with  claim 28 , wherein said units are arranged to be resilient so as to be automatically adaptable to intermittent thickness variations in said web material of at least 0.5 mm. 
     
     
         30 . (canceled) 
     
     
         31 . A dispenser in accordance with  claim 28 , wherein said second unit being arranged downstream said first unit, as seen in said feeding direction of said web path. 
     
     
         32 . A dispenser according to  claim 28 , wherein at least one out of said units is resilient by means of the unit comprising biasing elements. 
     
     
         33 . A dispenser according to  claim 28 , wherein at least one unit out of said units is resilient by means of said unit comprising a contact element resting freely on said web material of said web path, said contact element providing a tensioning force primarily by force of gravity acting on the mass of said contact element. 
     
     
         34 . A dispenser according to  claim 28 , wherein the dispenser comprises at least one additional unit arranged along said web path, and all units arranged along said web path of said dispenser are arranged to be resilient so as to be automatically adaptable to intermittent thickness variations in said web material. 
     
     
         35 . A dispenser according to  claim 28 , wherein the dispenser comprises web material provided to form said storage and arranged to extend along said web path. 
     
     
         36 . A dispenser according to  claim 35 , wherein said storage of web material is in the form of a stack. 
     
     
         37 . A dispenser according to  claim 35 , wherein said web material comprises at least a first web being divided into individual products defined between subsequent perforation lines extending over a width of said first web. 
     
     
         38 . A dispenser according to  claim 37 , wherein said web material comprises at least a second web being divided into individual products defined between subsequent perforation lines extending over a width of said second web, and wherein said first and second webs are interfolded so that said perforation lines of said first web are offset from said perforation lines of said second web in a length direction of said first web.
