Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for cutting toilet paper by use of the property of toilet paper to dissolve into water, in contrast to conventional ways of cutting toilet paper with hard cutters, and a device enabling a user to easily cut and fold toilet paper, not with both hands but with only one hand, to keep people with impaired hands from troubles with the use of toilets. SOLUTION: A sheet of paper impregnated with water is made to protrude by one millimeter or less from a blade 3 of a cutter and a container 2 for supplying water to the cutter blade is mounted on a side face of a holder body 1. Cotton threads given capillary effects are inserted therein. A separator 4 for separating the cut paper from the blade portion is mounted below the cutter blade 3. A brake 7 holds the paper with its own weight to take the slack of the paper pulled. An additional bar 8 is attached to the side face of the holder body as an aid for folding the cut paper.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

The present invention is useful for persons with paralysis of upper right limb or left upper limb paralysis and those who have only one hand.

Means for Solving the Problems Regarding the constitution of the present invention,
This will be described below with reference to the drawings. (B) A detachable container (2) for holding water is fixed to the paper holder body (1). (B) A pipe (5) for supplying water is connected to a cutter blade (3) made of a material that easily absorbs water, such as paper or nonwoven fabric. (C) Into the pipe (5), a cotton thread (9) shown in FIG. 4 for sucking up water by capillary action is inserted, and water is automatically supplied to the cutter blade (3). (D) An auxiliary rod (8) on the side of the paper holder body (1) as an auxiliary tool for folding the separated paper.
Attach. (E) The brake (7) shown in FIG. 4 functions to apply a proper tension to the paper when applying a brake to the roll paper (6) by its own weight and pulling it out. (F) When the roll paper (6) shown in FIGS. 5 and 6 is pulled out and applied to the cutter section (3), the separator (4)
Is pulled up with the paper. (G) When the paper (6) is cut by absorbing the water of the cutter blade (3), the separator (4) falls down by weight, and the remaining paper (6) stuck to the cutter blade (3). Peel off.

[0005]

[Operation] From the above principle and structure, pull out the roll paper (6) to the required length, and use the cutter blade (3).
When touched, the paper that has absorbed the water melts and is cut. The remaining paper is peeled off from the cutter blade by the separator (4), and is placed in a position where it can be easily pulled out the next time it is used. The cut paper is folded to a desired thickness with a folding stick (8). All of the above operations can be performed with one hand, and can be easily used by owners of muscular strength who have lost instantaneous power without power.

[0006]

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS (a) The present invention is a device effective for all persons with one hand and is applicable to all toilets in general public facilities, hospitals, facilities and the like.
