Abstract

The present invention concerns a spool for storing and distributing self-adhesive stickers.

It consists of a body comprising an outlet orifice of the strip (4), an inner guide (7), an upper guide forcing the strip to bend and enabling the automatic separation of the sticker by exerting a poll on said strip (5), and a last guide including a cutting blade in (12). The device according to the invention is particularly intended for the use of rolls of self-adhesive stickers.

Claims

1. Device for distributing self-adhesive stickers positioned on a strip arranged in a roll, said device comprising an enclosure incorporating a back and a side wall, the back and the side wall defining a housing suitable for receiving, around a central axis substantially perpendicular to the back, said roll, the side wall comprising an outlet orifice for the strip from the roll, said outlet orifice defining a first portion and a second portion of the side wall on either side of said outlet orifice, said device further comprises

a first outer strip guide intended to guide the strip from the roll, said first outer strip guide being positioned on the outer face of the first portion at the edge of the outlet orifice;

a second outer strip guide intended to guide the strip from the roll, said second outer strip guide being positioned on the outer face of the second portion at the edge of the outlet orifice, the first outer strip guide and the second outer strip guide facing each other on either side of the outlet orifice.

2. Device according to claim 1, wherein the device further comprises a third outer strip guide intended to guide the strip from the roll, said third outer strip guide being positioned on the outer face of the first portion of the side wall;

3. Device according to claim 2, wherein the third outer strip guide comprises a cutting blade.

4. Device according to claim 2, wherein the device further comprises a fourth outer strip guide intended to guide the strip from the roll, said fourth outer strip guide being positioned on the outer face of the second portion of the side wall;

5. Device according to claim 4, wherein the fourth outer strip guide comprises a cutting blade.

6. Device according to claim 1, further comprising an inner stripped guide intended to force the strip from the role into the axis of the outlet orifice.

7. Device according to claim 6, wherein the first portion and the second portion are interconnected by a support base.

8. Device according to claim 1, further comprising a closing cover.

9. Device according to claim 8, wherein the back comprises said central axis, said central axis being intended to allow the fitting of the closing cover.

10. Device according to claim 8 or 9, wherein the closing cover is lockable by rotation on the central axis.

11. Device according to claim 1, wherein the device is substantially symmetrical relative to a plane comprising the central axis and the axis of the outlet orifice.

12. Device according to claim 1, wherein the axis of the outlet orifice forms an acute angle with the axis along which the first outer strip guide is intended to guide the strip.

13. Device according to claim 1, wherein the axis of the outlet orifice forms an acute angle with the axis along which the second outer strip guide is intended to guide the strip.

14. Device according to claim 1, wherein the back comprises on the outer face thereof a coupling means intended to enable the face-to-face coupling of said device to a second identical device by the upper faces of the respective backs thereof.

15. Assembly comprising a first device and a second device, each according to claim 14, the first device being coupled face-to-face with the second device by the outer faces of their respective backs.
