Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To surely take out one set of paper one by one, to prevent the increase of the suspending length of next paper from a paper take-out port and to prevent each sheet of paper of drawn laminated paper from being separated unexpectedly. SOLUTION: In this toilet paper laminated product for a paper holder, folded papers 2 obtained by two-folding the laminated paper obtained by laminating many sheets of single-sheet paper in the shaped of V and then folding it in three in the shape of Z by folding lines orthogonal to a V-folding line are laminated by the prescribed number of sets and the papers 2 are folded in a state where at least one end edge 23a of the respective Z-folded pieces 22, 23 is protruded by a prescribed short length from the center of a length in the direction of V-folding line in the paper 2. Thus, each single sheet paper of the two-folded laminated paper 3 taken-out from the paper holder becomes difficult to separate.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a toilet which is used by being housed in a box-shaped paper holder, and in which toilet paper can be pulled out one set at a time from a paper outlet formed in a bottom wall of the paper holder. The present invention relates to a paper laminate.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Toilet paper is mainly rolled in a roll form. Toilet paper is drawn and cut in use (when paper is taken out) in a roll form. -It is necessary to perform work such as folding. By the way, the work of forming the use form from the roll-shaped toilet paper (work such as pulling out, cutting, folding, etc. of the band-shaped paper) cannot be performed well without using both hands. For people who could not use it, taking out the paper was very troublesome.

[0003] From such a background, in recent years, a toilet for a physically handicapped person is seen to be provided with a box-shaped paper holder 11 containing a toilet paper laminate 1A as shown in FIG. This paper holder 11
Has an opening 12 at the top for replenishing the toilet paper laminate, and a paper outlet 14 of a predetermined width is formed substantially at the center of the bottom wall 13. When the toilet paper laminate 1A is stored in the paper holder 11, one set of toilet paper can be sequentially pulled out from the paper outlet 14 with one hand, and after the one set of toilet paper has been drawn out, the next order is obtained. The folded piece of the toilet paper hangs down from the paper outlet 14 as indicated by reference numeral 32A 'or 32B', thereby facilitating the next paper removal.

[0004] The toilet paper laminate 1A housed in this type of paper holder 11 generally has a folded structure as shown in FIG. This figure 1
In the conventional toilet paper laminate 1A shown in FIG. 0, a rectangular paper having a predetermined area (for example, width 100 mm × length 200 mm) is folded into a V shape at a half position in the length direction, and the folded papers 3A and 3B are folded. Are stacked in a state where they are interleaved with each other from the left and right sides. That is, in the folded papers 3A and 3B on the left and right sides, the folded pieces 32A and 32B are sandwiched in the V-folded portion on the other side, and the tips of the folded pieces 32A and 32B on the opposite sides are respectively set on the opposite side. Is folded in a state where it is inserted up to a position close to the turn-back portion. Therefore, in each of the left and right folding papers 3A and 3B, substantially the entire length (1/2 area in the extended state) of each of the folded pieces 32A and 32B is sandwiched in the V-folded portion on the other side.

[0005] By the way, the paper used as the toilet paper is a paper having a weak stiffness and a soft paper quality (for example, a thin paper having a basis weight of about 18 to 20 g / m2, and having a soft touch subjected to embossing or dry creping). ) Has been adopted. Further, as the toilet paper used for this type of toilet paper laminate 1A, two sheets of single leaf paper 4A (or 4B) are often used as one set as shown in FIG.

The toilet paper laminate 1A shown in FIG. 10 is used by being housed in a paper holder 11 as shown in FIG. 11, but the conventional toilet paper laminate 1A has the following problems. there were. (1) Since the folded pieces 32A and 32B of the folded papers 3A and 3B on the left and right sides have a length reaching the folded portion of the folded paper on the other side, the toilet paper laminate 1A as shown in FIG. Is stored in the paper holder 11, the lowermost folded piece 32B (or 32A)
Is placed on the upper surface of the bottom wall 13 beyond the width of the paper outlet 14. Therefore, when the first (lowest) set is pulled out from the paper outlet 14, the folded piece 32B of the lowermost folded paper is difficult to be gripped. Also, when two fingers are inserted from the paper outlet 14 and the planar portion of the folded piece 32B is gripped to pull out the first set, the thin piece of paper may be gripped simultaneously with the folded piece 32A. Often there are times when multiple sets of paper are unnecessarily pulled out. In addition, such a phenomenon
A chain line is generated for each toilet paper laminate 1A to be replenished as shown. (2) Like the toilet paper laminate 1A in FIG.
Each folded piece 32 of the folding paper 3A, 3B on each side
When A and 32B are inserted to a deep position inside the V-fold of the other party folding paper 3B (or 3A), the upper folding piece 32A of the folding paper 3A to be pulled out and each folding piece of the next folding paper 3B. The frictional force between 32B and 32B increases. Therefore, especially in the case of paper having a weak stiffness and subjected to a flexible processing such as toilet paper, the next folding paper may be unnecessarily co-drawn. (3) When the lowermost folded paper is pulled out, the lower folded piece of the next folded paper is dragged by the upper folded piece and hangs down from the paper outlet 14 (reference numeral 32A ', FIG. 11). 32B '), if the frictional force between the papers is large, the next lower folded piece is dragged until the end of the folded piece on the side to be pulled out reaches the edge of the paper outlet 14. Therefore, the length of the folded pieces 32A 'and 32B' hanging down from the paper outlet 14 becomes longer (sometimes about 100 mm of the length of the folded paper to the folded portion is exposed), and the appearance deteriorates. (4) In the case where the folded papers 3A, 3B are V-folded and interfolded from the left and right, the hanging direction of the folded pieces 32A ', 32B' hanging down from the paper outlet 14 alternates between the near side and the back side. In addition, the position where the toilet paper is pulled out is not fixed. (5) Each of the folding papers 3A and 3B is obtained by simply stacking two rectangular single leaf papers 4A and 4A (or 4B and 4B) as shown in FIG. In many cases, a plurality of sets (2 to 4 sets) of the superposed papers (3A, 3B) are used in a stretched state, and at that time, each single paper 4A of the superposed papers 3A, 3B is used.
4A (or 4B, 4B) is easily separated from each other as shown by reference numerals 4A ', 4A' (or 4B ', 4B'), and handling when stacking the respective polymerized papers 3A, 3B is troublesome. Particularly, a person who can use only one hand cannot hold down the previous polymerized paper 3B by hand when stacking the latter polymerized paper 3A on the previous polymerized paper 3B (it is easy to move), and the paper Soft waist (poor shape retention)
Therefore, the shape becomes unstable and it is difficult to polymerize neatly.

FIG. 13 shows another conventional folded toilet paper laminate 1C. In this toilet paper laminate 1C, two sheets of single leaf paper are used.
The laminated polymer paper is folded in three in a Z shape to form a folded paper 3C, and a large number of sets of the folded paper 3C are laminated. Each folding paper 3C
Is Z-folded by an intermediate piece 31C and upper and lower folded pieces 32C and 33C folded at both ends thereof. Further, in each of the folding papers 3C, 3C vertically adjacent to each other, the upper folding piece 32C of the lower folding paper is sandwiched between the middle piece 31C of the upper folding paper and the lower folding piece 33C, and under the upper folding paper. Side folded piece 33C
Are interleaved in a state of being sandwiched between the intermediate piece 31C of the lower folding paper and the upper folding piece 32C. In addition, each interfolded folded piece 3
In 2C and 33C, almost the entire length of the folded piece (approximately 1/3 of the length of the folded paper) is sandwiched between the other folded papers. The toilet paper laminate 1C shown in FIG. 13 is also used by being housed in the paper holder 11, so that the lowermost folded paper 3C can be sequentially pulled out from the paper outlet 14 one set at a time.

In the toilet paper laminate 1C shown in FIG. 13, the area of the folded pieces 32C and 33C of each folded paper 3C is smaller than that of the conventional toilet paper laminate 1A shown in FIGS. As a result, the overlapping area with the folded piece of the other-side folding paper is reduced to 2/3 (the folding paper is folded compactly). However, in the toilet paper laminate 1C of FIG. 13, the toilet paper laminate 1 of FIGS.
The problems (1) and (5) in A remain as they are, and the problems (2) and (3) are slightly improved.

FIG. 14 shows still another known example of a paper laminate 1D (a paper laminate disclosed in JP-A-6-48652). This known paper laminate 1D is used, for example, for boxed tissue paper and wet tissue, and is a folded paper 3D obtained by Z-folding a rectangular single leaf paper (or a polymerized paper obtained by polymerizing a plurality of the single leaf papers). A large number of sets are stacked one above the other while being sequentially interleaved. Each folding paper 3D is made up of an intermediate piece 31D.
An upper folded piece 32D and a lower folded piece 33D, each of which is slightly longer than half the length of the intermediate piece 31D, are formed at each end. Therefore, in the paper laminate 1D shown in FIG. 14, the upper folded piece 32D of the lower folded paper 3D vertically adjacent to the lower folded piece 33D of the upper folded paper 3D overlaps by a predetermined small length L. I have.

A known paper laminate 1D shown in FIG. 14 is, for example, a paper box 1 for tissue paper.
Used in 1A. The internal paper can be sequentially pulled out one set at a time from the paper outlet 14A formed on the upper surface of the paper box, as indicated by reference numeral 3D '. In this case, the upper folding paper 3
Since the overlapping length L of the lower folded piece 33D of D and the upper folded piece 32D of the lower folding paper 3D is relatively short,
When the uppermost paper is drawn out as indicated by reference numeral 3D ', the upper folded piece 32D of the next folded paper 3D is exposed from the paper outlet 14 only in a small length range (the length of the above L). .

However, the paper laminate 1D shown in FIG.
Is used for a drawer above the container 11A, such as a tissue paper laminate or a wet tissue laminate, and is not manufactured for a toilet paper holder used in a downward draw method. To use as toilet paper, a plurality of sets (2 to 4) of polymerized paper drawn out as in the case shown in FIG.
Set) is often used in a stack, but at that time, the problem that the single leaf papers of the respective polymerized papers are easily peeled off from each other and that the handling when stacking the respective polymerized papers is troublesome still remains (especially, It is difficult for those who can use only one hand to polymerize neatly).

In view of the above-mentioned conventional problems, the present invention provides a toilet paper laminate accommodated in a downward-drawing-type paper holder, in which a set of papers can be reliably taken out one by one and the next order from the paper take-out port. The purpose of the present invention is to prevent the length of the sag of the paper from becoming longer and to prevent each of the single-leaf papers of the polymerized paper from being accidentally peeled off.

[0013]

The present invention has the following structure as means for solving the above-mentioned problems. The invention according to claim 1 of the present application is used in such a manner that the toilet paper is housed in a box-shaped paper holder, and the toilet paper is sequentially pulled out one by one from a paper outlet formed in a bottom wall of the paper holder. It is intended for toilet paper laminates for paper holders. As the paper used as the toilet paper, soft paper (for example, thin paper having a basis weight of about 18 to 20 g / m2, which is embossed or dry creped and has a good touch) is employed.

[0014] The toilet paper laminate according to claim 1 of the present invention is obtained by folding a polymerized paper obtained by polymerizing a plurality of rectangular single leaf papers into a V shape at the center of one side length thereof, and further folding the polymerized paper. Is folded in three in a Z-shape at two fold lines orthogonal to the V-fold line to form a total of six fold papers, and a predetermined number of the fold papers are laminated. In addition, in each folding paper, an upper folded piece and a lower folded piece are formed at each edge of the intermediate piece by folding the two-fold superposed paper Z.

In the toilet paper laminate according to the first aspect of the present invention, when used as toilet paper, the Z-fold portion of the folded paper in a six-fold state is expanded to form a two-fold structure.
Used in the form of folded polymer paper (rectangular). And the area of the two-fold polymerized paper to be used is
Although not particularly limited, width 100 mm × length 200 mm
The degree is preferred. In that case, each single leaf paper constituting the folded polymerized paper is 200 mm in the stretched state.
The area is set to about × 200 mm. In the present application, when folding the polymerized paper in an expanded state (for example, a state of 200 mm × 200 mm) into two, the paper is usually folded at a central portion (a bisecting position) in the width direction. It can be folded at a position slightly displaced from the center by a certain dimension (for example, about 5 mm or less). In that case, the side edge of each folded piece of the two-fold overlapped paper is slightly displaced by a width, and the area where each folded piece overlaps is slightly reduced, but the overall area is increased, and the limited area is reduced. Even in the case of using polymerized paper, a wide sense of security can be provided when actually used.

Further, in the toilet paper laminate according to the first aspect of the present invention, each of the folded papers is formed such that at least one edge of each of the Z-folded folded pieces has a V in the folded paper.
It is folded so as to protrude by a predetermined small length from the center of the length in the folding line direction. In the following description, the edge of the folded piece protruding from the central portion of the folding paper by a predetermined small length may be referred to as a small protruding edge for convenience. The folded piece having the small protruding edge structure (a structure in which the folded edge protrudes by a predetermined small length from the central portion) may be formed on both the upper and lower sides of the folding paper, or may be formed on only one of the upper and lower sides. You may. Further, each folded paper may be simply laminated vertically (laminated in a state where the folded pieces are not inserted between the mating papers), or the upper and lower folded pieces of the folded paper may be respectively formed by the small protruding edges. In the case of a structure, the upper and lower folded pieces may be stacked in a state of being inserted between the papers on the other side (so-called inter-held state). In addition, each folding paper in the toilet paper laminate is folded in the same Z shape.

The toilet paper laminate according to the first aspect of the present invention is used by being housed in a box-shaped paper holder installed in a toilet. At this time, the folded piece having the small protruding edge structure in the folded paper is used. Is placed in the paper holder so that the bottom side is facing. In addition, the paper holder is installed at a position that can be reached from the addition position (position on the toilet seat) in the toilet. A paper outlet having a predetermined width is formed substantially at the center of the bottom wall of the paper holder.

In a state where the toilet paper laminate is stored in the paper holder, the edge (small protruding edge) of the lower folded piece of the lowermost folded paper is projected downward from the paper outlet. The small protruding edge at the bottom can be easily found by groping even if it is not visible to a person sitting on the toilet seat. To remove the toilet paper from the paper holder, pinch the small protruding edge of the lowermost folded paper with your finger from the paper outlet and pull it out. Can be taken out.
After the lowermost folded paper is removed, the small protruding edge of the lower folded piece of the next folding paper comes out of the paper outlet, but since the small protruding edge is short in length, the small protruding edge is short. Almost no (or very little) sag from the outlet. The toilet paper stored in the paper holder can be sequentially drawn out from the lowermost folded paper in the same manner.

Further, in this toilet paper laminate,
Since at least one of the folded pieces of the folding paper has the small protruding edge structure, the joining area of the lower folding piece of the upper folding paper and the upper folding piece of the lower folding paper in two vertically adjacent folding papers. (Frictional area) is reduced, and when the lower side folding paper is pulled out, the upper side folding paper is less likely to be pulled out together.

Further, since the respective folded papers are stacked in the same shape in a Z-folded state, the direction of the small protruding edge of the folding paper located at the lowermost portion always faces in the same direction. Therefore, even if the paper ejection opening is not visible, if the direction of the small protruding edge is memorized, it is possible to understand where the small protruding edge is located, and when groping for the drawer edge. Even they can be found relatively easily.

The toilet paper taken out of the paper holder is obtained by polymerizing a plurality of single leaf papers. However, since the toilet paper is drawn out in a folded state (a state of folded double paper), each single leaf paper is hardly peeled off. In addition, handling of the removed toilet paper becomes easy.

Further, since toilet paper is a thin paper, even if it is a polymerized paper, a plurality of sets are often used in a single use. However, in this toilet paper laminate, a double folded polymerized paper is sequentially used. Since it can be pulled out, the shape of the drawn-out polymerized paper is relatively stable, and the work of superimposing them can be performed easily and can be neatly superposed. In particular, even a physically handicapped person or a person who can use only one hand due to injury or the like can relatively easily overlap. The invention according to claim 2 of the present invention is the toilet paper laminate according to claim 1, wherein each folded piece that has been V-folded is crimped to the vicinity of a side edge of each folded paper that faces the V-fold line. A streaky crimped portion (embossed portion) to be formed is formed.

As described above, if a streaked crimped portion is formed in the vicinity of the side edge facing the V-fold line in each V-folded folded piece, the toilet paper (folded in two) from the paper holder during use. When the toilet paper is taken out, one side edge of the toilet paper is folded back (continuous) at the V-fold line, and the opposite side edge side of the V-fold line is crimped in a streak shape. As a result, the single-leaf paper hardly peels off on the opposite side edge side (the single-leaf paper does not flicker).

When actually used, a plurality of sheets (about 4 to 8 sheets) are often used in an overlapping manner.

The toilet paper laminate 1 of each embodiment of the present application is obtained by folding a polymerized paper obtained by polymerizing a plurality of (for example, two) rectangular single leaf papers into a V-shape at the center of one side length thereof, and further folding the paper. The folded polymer paper is V
A predetermined number (for example, 50 sets) of the folding papers 2, 2,... Are laminated in a state where the folding paper 2 is folded in three in a Z shape at two folding lines orthogonal to the folding line to form a total of six folding papers. It is composed. Then, the toilet paper laminate 1 of these embodiments is housed in a vertically oriented box-shaped paper holder 11, and the paper holder 1
One set of toilet papers can be pulled out from the bottom of the toilet paper one by one and used. Less than,
Each embodiment will be described individually.

The toilet paper laminate 1 of the first embodiment shown in FIG. 1 is manufactured as shown in FIG. First, as the base paper, paper roll R which was wound a strip paper S ₀ of a predetermined width W ₀ is used. In this embodiment, as the paper roll R, a belt-shaped paper is
Although a roll obtained by winding superposed belt-shaped paper S ₀ is used, in another embodiment, two paper rolls each wound with a single-leaf belt-shaped paper are used, and the paper is fed from each paper roll. Each of the single-leaf strip-shaped papers may be polymerized in the middle. The width W ₀ of the polymerized strip paper S ₀ is the same as the width (for example, 200 mm) of the toilet paper to be manufactured in the stretched state.

[0028] In the manufacturing method of the toilet paper laminate shown in FIG. 3, embossed in the polymerization strip paper S ₀ which is fed from the paper roll R (embossing step E), the embossed polymer strip paper S ₁ The central part of the width is folded in two in a V shape (width folding step F),

The toilet paper laminate 1 of the first embodiment is obtained by laminating a predetermined number of sets of the folding paper 2 of FIG. 2 described above.
Is used by being stored in a box-shaped paper holder 11, as shown in FIGS. The paper holder 11 has an opening (upper opening 12) at the upper part and a bottom wall 13
Paper outlet 1 at a substantially intermediate position in the depth direction
Four. As shown in FIG. 5, the paper outlet 14 is formed over the entire width of the paper holder bottom wall 13, and furthermore, the overlapping width of the upper and lower folded pieces 22 and 23 of the folded paper 2 (twice the length of L ₃ ). A), and has a width M (M = approximately 15 to 20 mm is appropriate). Further, in this embodiment, the edge on the far side of the paper outlet 14 is cut out in a curved shape to form the finger insertion portion 14a. The volume of the paper holder 11 shown in FIGS. 4 and 5 is slightly larger than the outer shape of the foldable paper 2 in a plan view, and is formed at a depth that can accommodate about two sets of the toilet paper laminate 1. I have. Therefore, the toilet paper laminate 1 stored in the paper holder 11 is positioned at a predetermined position in the paper holder 11. In addition, this type of paper holder 11 is installed at a position where it can be reached while sitting on a toilet seat in a toilet.

As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, in the toilet paper laminate 1 of the first embodiment (FIG. 1), the edge 23a of the lower folded piece 23 of each folded paper 2 is located at the back of the paper holder 11. It is stored in the paper holder 11 in a posture facing the side. Then, the lowermost folded paper 2 is seated on the paper holder bottom wall 13, and at this time, the edge 23 a of the lower folded piece 23 (the lower edge 23 a).
Comes out from the paper outlet 14 downward.
Then, in order to take out the toilet paper in the paper holder 11, as shown in FIG.
When the lower edge 23a of the lowermost folding paper 2 is pinched with a finger and pulled out from the (finger insertion portion 14a), the folded paper is in a state of a two-fold overlapped paper 3 which is expanded in a rectangular shape as shown in FIG. Can be taken out. After the lowermost folded paper 2 is taken out, the edge 23a of the lower folded piece 23 of the next folded paper 2 is adapted to correspond to the width of the paper outlet 14.
The edge 23a of the lower folded piece 23 of the folded paper 2 which descends sequentially to the lowermost part always comes out of the paper outlet 14. Moreover, each fold paper 2,2 ...
Are folded in the same shape in a Z-folded state, so that the lower folded piece 23 of the folding paper positioned at the lowermost portion always faces in the same direction (backward direction). Therefore, even when the lower edge 23a of the lowermost folded paper 2 is not visible to a person sitting on the toilet seat when taking out the toilet paper, a finger is inserted into the finger insertion portion 14a of the paper outlet 14 as shown in FIG. When inserted and moved to the near side, a finger is hooked on the lower edge 23a facing the back side, so that the lower edge 23a can be easily found even by groping. When the remaining amount of the toilet paper laminate 1 in the paper holder 11 decreases, a new toilet paper laminate 1 may be refilled from the upper opening 12.

When the toilet paper laminate 1 is stored in the paper holder 11, the edge 23 a of the lower folded piece 23 of the lowermost folded paper 2 projects downward from the paper outlet 14. However, this edge 23a is located at the center in the length direction of the folding paper 2 (PP).
The lower folded piece 23 hardly hangs down from the paper outlet 14 (or hangs down very little). Therefore, it is possible to eliminate the disadvantage that the appearance is deteriorated by the hanging paper (reference numerals 32A 'and 32B') as in the conventional example shown in FIG.

Further, in the toilet paper laminate 1, in two vertically adjacent folding papers 2, 2, the joining area of the lower folding piece 23 of the upper folding paper and the upper folding piece 22 of the lower folding paper ( Since the frictional area is small, the upper folding paper is not pulled out when the lower folding paper is pulled out. In particular, in the toilet paper laminate 1 of the first embodiment, the respective folded papers 2, 2,... Are simply laminated as they are, and therefore, when the lowermost folded paper 2 is pulled out, the upper folded piece 22 thereof is pulled out. Then, the frictional force generated between the lower folded pieces 23 of the folded paper 2 in the next order is further reduced, and the co-drawing action when the lower folded paper is pulled out hardly occurs.

The toilet paper taken out of the paper holder is, as shown in FIG. 6, in a state in which a polymerized paper obtained by polymerizing a plurality of (two) single leaf papers is folded into two (the state of the folded paper 3). So that each of the V-folded return pieces 32, 32
The shape of the folded polymer paper 3 is stable at a portion. Furthermore, since the stitched crimped portion 33 is formed in the vicinity of the side edge 31 facing the V-folding line 30 on the extracted folded paper 3, the facing side edge 31 is formed.
Also on the side, the folded pieces 32, 32 and the single-leaf paper are less likely to peel off (the single-leaf paper does not flicker), and handling of the taken out toilet paper (folded overlapped paper 3) becomes easy.

Further, since the toilet paper is a thin paper, even if it is a polymerized paper, a plurality of sets are often used for each use, but in this toilet paper laminate 1, as shown in FIG. Since it can be pulled out in the state of the folded polymer paper 3, the shape of the drawn polymer paper 3 is relatively stable, so that the work of superimposing them can be easily performed and the paper can be neatly stacked. In particular, even a physically handicapped person or a person who can use only one hand due to injury or the like can relatively easily overlap.

Each of the toilet paper laminates 1 of the second to fourth embodiments shown in FIGS. 7 to 9 is a modification of the toilet paper laminate of the first embodiment.

The folded paper 2 used in the toilet paper laminate 1 of the second embodiment shown in FIG. 7 is similar to the folded paper 2 of the first embodiment in that each end of the upper folded piece 22 and the lower folded piece 23 is provided. edge 22a, is formed by folding in a state of respectively is projected by one small length L ₃ (about 5mm) from 23a folding paper 2 of the central longitudinal line (P-P line). Then, in each of the folding papers 2 and 2 vertically adjacent to each other, the edge 23a of the lower folding piece 23 of the upper folding paper 2 and the edge 22a of the upper folding piece 22 of the lower folding paper 2 are respectively folded on the opposite sides. sandwiched only a small length double length of L ₃ (about 10 mm) in portion has (so-called inter-and hold) are stacked in a state.
In this way, when the lowermost folded paper 2 is pulled out, the edge 22a of the upper folded piece 2 is connected to the edge 23a of the lower folded piece 23 of the next folded paper 2 by the paper outlet 14. Through the lower edge 2 when the next toilet paper is taken out.
The effect that it becomes easy to pinch 3a with a finger occurs. still,
In this case, the upper and lower folding papers 2 and 2 have the small length L.
They are interleaved with each other in a range of twice the length of ₃ (about 10 mm), but with such a superimposed length, the co-pulling action hardly occurs on the next folding paper 2.

The folded paper 2 used in the toilet paper laminate 1 of the third embodiment shown in FIG. 8 has an edge 23a of the lower folded piece 23 at the center line (PP line) in the length direction of the folded paper 2. ), The upper folded piece 22 is folded by the same length as the length of the intermediate piece 21 while projecting by a smaller length L ₃ (about 5 mm). In this case, folding paper 2
Even if the stretched length of the foldable paper 2 is 200 mm, the length (left and right length in FIG. 8) of the folded paper 2 is 80 mm.
It is less than mm and compact. In the third embodiment, the toilet paper laminate 1 is formed by simply laminating the folding papers 2, 2,... Without interposing them. When the toilet paper laminate 1 is used, a shorter depth can be used as the paper holder 11 because the depth length of the toilet paper laminate 1 is reduced. Can be reduced.

In the folding paper 2 used in the toilet paper laminate 1 of the fourth embodiment shown in FIG.
The edge 23a of the lower folded piece 23 is smaller in length L ₃ (about 5 mm) than the center (PP line) of the folded paper 2 in the length direction.
While allowing only the protruding, and stopped at a position retracted by (about 10mm in the illustrated example) the edge 22a of the upper folded piece 22 suitably small length L ₄ from the line P-P. This no particular action by the edge 22a of the upper folded piece 22 retracted only a small length L ₄ from the central portion (P-P line) as this fourth embodiment, the present invention This is for the purpose of confirming that the present invention can be applied to the toilet paper laminate 1 as shown in FIG.

[0049]

The toilet paper laminate according to the first aspect of the present invention is obtained by folding a polymerized paper obtained by polymerizing a plurality of rectangular single leaf papers into a V shape at the center of one side length and then further folding the polymerized paper. The polymer paper 3 is changed to its V-fold line 3
In a state where the folded paper 2 is folded into three in a Z shape at two folding lines 20 and 20 orthogonal to 0, a total of six folded papers 2 are stacked and a predetermined number of sets of the folded papers 2 are laminated. the 2 · ·, Z-folded predetermined small length L from the central portion of the V fold lines direction length L ₁ in the folded paper 2 at least one of the edges 23a (P-P line) of each folded pieces 22 and 23 It is characterized by being folded in a state of protruding by _three . Therefore, the toilet paper laminate 1 of claim 1 of the present application has the following effects. (a) The folded one edge 23a is placed at the central part (PP line).
More predetermined small length L ₃ by the side of the folded piece 23 which is projected is set to be on the lower surface side, toilet paper stack 1
Is stored in the paper holder 11, the edge 23a of the lower folded piece 23 of the folding paper 2 located at the lowermost position
Comes out from the paper outlet 14 of the paper holder 11. Therefore, the protruding edge 23a can be easily pinched with a finger, so that the toilet paper can be easily taken out. (b) Since the overlapping length of the upper folded piece 22 of the lower folded paper and the lower folded piece 23 of the upper folded paper is short in the vertically adjacent folding papers 2 and 2, the lowermost folded paper is drawn out. Occasionally, the next folding paper will not be withdrawn, and one set of toilet paper can be reliably withdrawn each time. (c) The length of the lower folded piece 23 hanging down from the paper outlet 14 of the paper holder 11 is reduced, and the appearance is not deteriorated. (d) Since each folded paper 2 is Z-folded, the edges 23a of the lower folded pieces 23 coming out of the paper outlet 14 of the paper holder 11 are always in the same direction and almost at the same position, and sit on the toilet seat. Paper exit 14
Even if is not visible, if the direction of the protruding edge 23a is memorized, it is possible to understand where the protruding edge 23a is located. Can also be found relatively easily. (e) The toilet paper drawn out from the paper outlet 14 is a state in which a polymerized paper obtained by polymerizing a plurality of single leaf papers is folded in two (a state of the folded doubled paper 3).
Therefore, each single leaf paper is hardly peeled off, and the toilet paper taken out is easily handled. (f) Since the toilet paper is a thin paper, even if it is a polymerized paper, a plurality of sets are often used in a single use. However, the toilet paper may be sequentially pulled out from the paper outlet 14 in a state of the folded paper 3. As a result, the shape of the drawn-out polymerized paper is relatively stable, and the work of superimposing them can be easily performed and the superposed paper can be neatly superposed. In particular, even a physically handicapped person or a person who can use only one hand due to injury or the like can relatively easily overlap.

According to the second aspect of the present invention, in the toilet paper laminate of the first aspect, each folded piece 32 formed by V-folding is provided near a side edge 31 of each folded paper 2 facing the V-folding line 30. , 32 are crimped to form a streaked crimped portion 33, so that the V-folded paper 3 is pulled out of the paper holder 11 in the state of the folded paper 3.
Also on the side edge 31 side opposite to the fold line 30, the folded pieces 32, 32 and the single-leaf paper are less likely to peel off (the single-leaf paper does not flicker), and the handling of the taken out toilet paper (folded overlap paper 3) is further improved. This has the effect of being easier.
