Description

Description: BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a toilet paper holder capable of extracting a desired length of paper and cutting the paper at the extracted length with only one hand. About. 2. Description of the Related Art A number of proposals have been made and some of the paper holders have been put to practical use so far, in which the toilet paper can be pulled out with one hand and cut with one hand. [0003] However, while permitting the required length of drawing with one hand, cutting the paper drawn to that length with one hand, that is, preventing the drawing of the paper and cutting there, is a contradictory operation. Therefore, it is difficult to realize this operation with a simple structure. The proposed one-hand operation type toilet paper holder has been devised in various ways to prevent paper withdrawal and to cut the paper, but in particular, the paper cutting function is not sufficient and the cutting operation is intuitive. Many require
Some were not for everyone. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide a toilet paper holder which solves the above-mentioned problems with the conventional one-handed toilet paper holder. . [0006] To solve the above-mentioned problems, the toilet paper holder according to the present invention comprises a left and a right side walls facing left and right sides of a roll-shaped toilet paper, and both sides. A bottom wall on which the paper is placed is provided with a downward slope toward the front between the walls, and the bottom wall on which the paper is placed is formed so as to protrude from the inner surfaces of the side walls, and an angle substantially orthogonal to the upper surface of the bottom wall is set. A support surface for the core rod that freely supports both ends of a set core rod inserted into the cylindrical core of the paper, and a support surface for the core rod, and a front surface near the front end on the lower surface side of the bottom wall on the both side walls. A pivoting member having a cutting blade with an upward cutting edge at the front end and having an upward paper pressing portion at the rear end, and a rocking member that is inserted into the cylindrical core of the paper and supported by the core rod supporting surface. The paper is made up of both side walls and bottom wall And a set core rod to be held in the space to be formed, and the leading end of the held paper is pulled out in a substantially horizontal direction to draw out a required length of the paper. By pulling the swinging member substantially downward, the swinging member is moved upward about the pivot point to prevent the paper from being pulled out, and the drawn paper is cut by the cutting blade. It is a feature. Next, an embodiment of a paper holder according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. 1 is a side sectional view for explaining the entire structure of the paper holder, FIG. 2 is a side sectional view showing an enlarged main part of FIG. 1, FIG. 3 is a plan view showing a support state of a core rod, and FIG. It is a front view of a part. In FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, reference numeral 1 denotes a rectangular vertical wall-shaped base member serving as a base on which the constituent members of the paper holder of the present invention are mounted, and its front width (left and right width) is a roll of toilet paper P ( (Hereinafter referred to as roll paper P). Reference numerals 2 and 3 denote left and right side walls in the form of standing walls having rear ends fixed to the left and right of the base member 1, and 4 denote the left and right side walls 2 and 3 or both side walls 2 and 3. And the base wall member 1
In this example, the bottom wall is provided to support
It has a downward slope of about 10 degrees. Here, the inclination angle of the bottom wall 4 may be 10 degrees or more or 10 degrees or less as long as the bottom wall 4 is inclined forward. The left and right side walls 2 and 3 have a depth length slightly larger than the winding diameter of the roll paper P and a height sufficiently larger than the winding diameter. On the other hand, a hole 4a through which a paper presser tooth 10 described later protrudes and retracts is formed slightly rearward from the middle of the bottom wall 4 in the depth direction, and the rear surface of the bottom wall 4 has a concave circular shape. A bottom plate 4b formed by a metal plate or a plastic plate raised in an arc shape and having a smooth surface is stretched. Reference numerals 5 and 6 prevent the set core rod 11 described later from moving forward on the inner surfaces of the opposite side walls 2 and 3, and freely support only the vertical movement of the core rod 11. The left and right support surfaces 5 and 6 are attached to the inner surfaces of the side walls 2 and 3 by attaching thick plate members 5a and 6a to the rear surfaces of the plate members 5a and 6a. The support surfaces 5 and 6 are formed so as to rise at an angle substantially orthogonal to the upper surface of the wall 4. A shaft 8 is provided on the lower surface side of the bottom wall 4 on the side walls 2 and 3 located near the front end thereof in a horizontal posture.
A swing member provided so as to be swingable by the front end (FIGS. 1 and 2).
In the example shown in FIG. 4, two pressing teeth 10 are provided at the rear end of the paper cutting blade 9 as a paper pressing part. In the present invention, the paper pressing portion is not limited to the teeth 10 of the above example, and any member having a rough surface or a protrusion on the upper surface is sufficient as long as the rotation of the roll paper P can be prevented. Here, in a normal state where no external force acts, the swinging member 7 has a substantially horizontal posture because the shaft 8 is displaced. However, when the drawn paper is lowered, The cutting blade 9 is pushed down to swing the paper presser teeth 10 (in the counterclockwise direction in FIGS. 1 and 2), and the tip of the cutting blade 9 projecting from the tip portion 4c of the bottom wall 4 is moved to the bottom wall 4 thereof. The paper presser teeth 10, which are sunk below the upper surface of the front end 4 c of the base member 4 and are simultaneously swung, are formed so as to protrude above the upper surface of the bottom wall 4 from the holes 4 a provided in the bottom wall 4. Therefore,
The length of the swinging member 7 or the height of the cutting blade 9 and the holding teeth 10 is set so as to realize the above operation. The counterclockwise swing (downward swing) of the paper cutting teeth 9 is pushed by the paper when the paper is pulled downward to cut the drawn paper, as described later. This is the operation that occurs. Reference numeral 11 denotes a set rod inserted into the cylindrical core 12 at the center of the roll paper P to set the paper P in the paper holder of the present invention. Although it is smaller than the inner diameter of the core 12 of the roll paper P, the weight is formed to be, for example, about 150 to 200 g. It is sufficient that the set core rod 11 has its own weight due to its material and structure. When the core rod 11 is set, the front sides of both ends thereof are formed such that the roll paper P does not roll forward from the bottom wall 4 by contacting the support surfaces 5 and 6. In the above example, the reason why the weight is positively applied to the set core rod 11 is that the paper holding teeth 10 projecting from the hole 4a of the bottom wall 4 when the paper is cut due to the weight of the core rod 11 and the roll paper P. Of the roll paper P and the roll paper P
This is because even if the weight of the paper becomes small, the holding effect of the holding teeth 10 is maintained and the paper is cut by the cutting blade 9 without fail. In addition, rotation prevention and cutting of paper can be realized. In this embodiment, the tip 10 of the paper presser tooth 10
a is sharpened on a chevron so that the effect of preventing the rotation of the roll paper P is further enhanced by biting into the roll paper P. In FIG. 1, a lid 13 is provided on the upper surfaces of the side walls 2 and 3 so that the rear end thereof can be opened and closed as a hinge 13a. The lid 13 is opened and closed when the roll paper P is put in and out, and is usually used as a loading table. It is made possible. In addition, reference numerals 1a and 1b in FIG. 1 denote screw holes for mounting provided in the base member 1, and are used when the paper holder of the present invention is mounted on a wall W of a toilet or the like. The toilet paper holder of the present invention has a
Is inserted into the core 12, and the roll paper P is set to the state shown in FIG. At this time, the leading end side of the set roll paper P is pulled out from the side of the base member 1 through the bottom wall 4 and near the front end of the bottom wall 4. When the leading edge of the paper to be pulled out in this state is gripped and pulled out substantially horizontally, the paper is cut by the cutting blade 9 because the bottom wall 4 is inclined forward and the swinging member 7 is in a substantially horizontal posture. The roll paper P rotates without any hindrance to the presser teeth 10 and is pulled out smoothly. When the required length of paper is drawn, the cutting blade 9
When the drawn paper positioned on the front side of the paper is pulled downward, the cutting blade 9 is pushed down by the paper pulled downward, so that the presser teeth 10 move upward due to the swinging operation of the swinging member 7, and The tip 10a of the tooth 10 is pushed up so as to partially pierce the outer peripheral surface of the roll paper P. At this time, since the own weight of the roll paper P and the weight of the set core rod 11 are applied to the pressing teeth 10 by the action of the support surfaces 5 and 6 of the core rod 11, the rotation of the roll paper P is prevented, and therefore, the pull-out is performed. The part of the paper that has pressed down the cutting blade 9 is cut by the action of the blade 9. In the above-mentioned cutting mode, even if the diameter of the roll paper P is reduced and its own weight is reduced, the function of the presser teeth 10 is not maintained if the weight is positively applied to the set core rod 11. The drawing and cutting of the paper with one hand can be reliably performed until the end of the winding amount of the roll paper P. When cutting the drawn paper, the cutting blade 9
Is slightly separated from the front end 4c of the bottom wall 4 by the swinging (downward movement), and the paper is cut at that position and returns to the original front end position of the bottom wall 4, so that the cut end of the paper is When the paper is slightly protruded, the paper is ready for the next drawing. Therefore, the next drawing of the paper is facilitated, and the finger is less likely to touch the cutting blade 9, so that the safety is enhanced. The present invention is as described above, and a paper holder capable of performing roll paper withdrawal to cut by one hand operation is provided on the left and right sides of the roll-shaped toilet paper facing each other. A right side wall and a bottom wall which is disposed with a downward slope between both side walls toward the front, and on which the paper is placed, and which is formed so as to protrude from inner surfaces of the both side walls, and is formed on an upper surface of the bottom wall. A support surface having a substantially perpendicular angle, the support surface of the core rod freely supporting both ends of a set core rod inserted into the cylindrical core of the paper, and a lower surface of a bottom wall on the both side walls A swinging member pivotally supported near the front end on the side and having an upward cutting blade at the front end and having an upward paper pressing portion at the rear end; and a supporting member inserted into the cylindrical core of the paper and supported by the core rod support surface. The paper is Since it is provided with the set core rod held in the space formed by the side walls and the bottom wall, the problem of the conventional one-hand operation type paper holder can be completely eliminated. Also, since the paper can be pulled out and cut without touching the constituent members of the paper holder at the time of use, it is extremely sanitary, and therefore, toilets in restaurants and hotels used by an unspecified number of people. It is extremely useful as a paper holder installed in a room, a public toilet installed in a park or the like. Furthermore, since the structure for this is extremely thimble, it can be easily manufactured and provided at low cost, and further, since there are few mechanical structural parts, there is an advantage that almost no trouble or trouble is caused.
