2. Description of the Related Art Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. H11-79263 discloses a refilling device in which the tissue paper in a storage box is lifted up when the remaining amount of the tissue paper in the storage box becomes low so that the tissue paper can be easily taken out. Offers tissue paper storage boxes.

In this conventional refillable tissue paper storage box, a new refillable tissue paper is stored in the storage box without disposing of the storage box when the tissue paper stored in the storage box is exhausted. It is like that. In other words, this conventional refillable tissue paper storage box is one in which the storage box can be used repeatedly to save resources by reducing the need for disposable tissue paper storage paper boxes and reduce the amount of waste. It is.

Further, in this conventional refillable tissue paper storage box, an inner bottom plate on which tissue paper is placed is arranged in the box body so as to be vertically movable, and an inner bottom surface of the box body opposite to the inner bottom plate. An insole support protrusion that can support the plate material is protruded, and the insole plate material is pressed upward from an operation window formed in the box main body so that the insole plate material is opposed to the space between the opposed insole support protrusions upward. Tissue paper lifting means is provided which can be raised by being passed through and placed on the midsole support projection.

[0005] As a tissue paper storage box, a bottom plate supporting groove is formed in the horizontal direction near the lower edge of the inner surface of the opposite side wall of the box body having a tissue paper outlet on the upper surface, and one end wall of the box body. A bottom plate entrance is provided near the lower edge of the bottom plate, and a bottom plate is slidably fitted in the bottom plate support groove so as to be freely inserted and removed.

When storing new refillable tissue paper in the storage box, the midsole plate must be lowered to the lowest position through the space between the opposing midsole support projections. However,
The operation of lowering the midsole plate supported on the opposing midsole support protrusions between the midsole support protrusions is cumbersome. The present invention has been made to solve such a problem in the tissue paper lifting means of the above-mentioned conventional refillable tissue paper storage box.

[0007]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention is directed to refilling a storage box without disposing of the storage box when the tissue paper stored in the storage box is exhausted. The present invention is based on the premise of a refillable tissue paper storage box for storing new tissue paper, and an improved tissue paper lifting means.

That is, the present invention provides a tissue paper lifting means in the following refillable tissue paper storage box.

(1) A bottom plate support groove is formed horizontally near the lower edge of the opposing side wall inner surface of the box body having the tissue paper outlet on the upper surface, and near the lower edge of one end wall of the box body. In a tissue paper storage box provided with a bottom plate doorway and having a bottom plate freely slideable into and out of the bottom plate support groove, a long hole passing through the bottom plate is formed in the bottom plate in parallel with the bottom plate support groove. Is attached via a shaft so that the tissue paper lifting piece can be rotated up and down with an appropriate frictional force.When the bottom plate is pulled out from the bottom plate doorway with the tissue paper lifting piece rotated upward, the tissue paper is The refillable tissue paper is characterized in that the lifting piece comes into contact with the upper edge of the bottom plate entrance and is pushed down to the horizontal state. Tissue paper lifting means in the box (claim 1).

(2) In order to make the tissue paper lifting piece rotatable with an appropriate frictional force, the long hole of the bottom plate is formed so as to gradually become narrower downward. The lifting piece has an upper surface having substantially the same shape and size as the upper part of the long hole, and is formed so as to be gradually narrowed downward, so that the tissue paper lifting piece is rotated upward to rotate the tissue paper lifting piece. When one end of the tissue paper lifting piece is located at the top, the other end of the tissue paper lifting piece is lowered so that the upper surface at the other end fits between the lower narrow portions of the long hole of the bottom plate ( Claim 2).

[0011]

According to the first aspect of the present invention, there is provided a refillable tissue paper storing box according to the present invention, wherein the box main body is not discarded when the tissue paper stored in the box main body is used up. It is designed to store new refillable tissue paper in the body. That is, the box body does not store the tissue paper in the storage paper box, but stores refillable tissue paper not in the storage paper box.

When the tissue paper stored in the box body is used up, the bottom plate is pulled out of the box body, the box body is turned upside down, new tissue paper for refilling is stored in the box body, and the bottom plate is inserted from the bottom plate entrance. Fit into the bottom plate support groove and push the bottom plate fully. Subsequently, the box body is turned upside down again to return to the normal posture, and used in the same manner as the conventional tissue paper storage box. At this time, the tissue paper in the box body will be placed on the bottom plate,

When the remaining amount of the tissue paper in the box body is low, the lifting piece of the tissue paper on the bottom plate is pushed upward by a finger or the like from below the bottom plate and rotated upward. At this time, one end of the tissue paper lifting piece moves above the bottom plate, and lifts the tissue paper on the bottom plate. Therefore, even when the remaining amount of tissue paper in the box body is low, the tissue paper on the top is in a state close to the tissue paper outlet on the upper surface of the box body, so that the tissue paper can be easily removed from the tissue paper outlet. Can be taken out. In addition, the tissue paper lifting piece rotates vertically with an appropriate frictional force against the long hole of the bottom plate, and since the tissue paper in the box body is lightweight, the tissue paper lifting the tissue paper upward. The paper lifting piece does not rotate downward due to the weight of the tissue paper, and the tissue paper is securely held at the raised position.

When the tissue paper stored in the box body is exhausted, the bottom plate is pulled out of the box body as described above, and new tissue paper for refilling is stored in the box body. When the used tissue paper is exhausted, the tissue paper lifting piece is in a state of being rotated upward. When storing the new refillable tissue paper in the box body, when the bottom plate is pulled out from the bottom plate entrance, the tissue paper lifting piece abuts on the upper edge of the bottom plate entrance and is pushed down to a horizontal state. That is, by pulling out the bottom plate from the bottom plate entrance, the tissue paper lifting piece automatically returns to the original horizontal state. In other words, no special operation is required to rotate the tissue paper lifting piece that is rotating upward to the original position.

According to a second aspect of the present invention, when the tissue paper lifting piece pivots upward and one end of the tissue paper lifting piece is positioned upward, the other end of the tissue paper lifting piece is lowered. The upper surface at the other end fits between the narrow portions below the long hole of the bottom plate. Thus, the upper surface of the other end of the tissue paper lifting piece has substantially the same shape and size as the upper portion at the corresponding end of the elongated hole, but the elongated hole is gradually narrowed downward. For this reason, the upper surface of the other end of the tissue paper lifting piece is fitted between the narrow portions below the elongated hole, and a frictional force acts.

1, a tissue paper lifting piece 23 is attached via a shaft 25 so as to be rotatable in the vertical direction with an appropriate frictional force, and the bottom plate 19 is connected to the bottom plate entrance 17 with the tissue paper lifting piece 23 rotated upward. When the tissue paper lifting member 23 is pulled out from the bottom plate, the tissue paper lifting piece 23 comes into contact with the upper edge 17a (in the illustrated example, the inner corner of the upper edge 17a) of the bottom plate entrance 17 and is pushed down to the horizontal state. See FIG.

In the case shown in FIGS. 6 and 7 (bottom view), the long hole 21 of the bottom plate 19 faces downward so that the tissue paper lifting piece 23 can rotate with an appropriate frictional force. The tissue paper lifting piece 23 is formed so that the upper surface 23a has substantially the same shape and size as the upper portion 21a of the long hole 21 and gradually narrows downward. By forming the tissue paper lifting piece 23, the other end 23c of the tissue paper lifting piece 23 is lowered when the one end 23b of the tissue paper lifting piece 23 is positioned upward and the other end 23c of the tissue paper lifting piece 23 is positioned above. Other end 2
