Description

  The present invention relates to a paper holder device that supports toilet paper.

  2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a paper holder that supports toilet paper is fixedly supported at a desired position within a reachable range such as a wall surface of a toilet room that is provided when the toilet is used.

  However, this “range that can be reached” is based on healthy persons other than infants, that is, persons who are physically satisfied to some extent, and those who deviate from the standard cause a serious inconvenience when using the toilet.

  Therefore, a toilet paper holder that can be moved to any place has been proposed.

This toilet paper holder is composed of a paper holder main body and leg portions to which the main body is connected, so to speak, it is a stand-type paper holder (see, for example, Patent Document 1).
JP 2003-93268 (2nd page, FIG. 1)

  However, although this stand-type paper holder can be moved to any place regardless of whether it is in the toilet room, use in the toilet room is not necessarily highly convenient.

  In other words, the toilet room, which is a closed space with a wall, is a very limited space. With a stand-type paper holder, when sitting on the toilet seat or entering the toilet room with a wheelchair, etc. In such a case, it may be in the way, or it may be accidentally overturned in the case of emergency use of the toilet, resulting in injury.

  This is particularly noticeable when the toilet user is a handicapped person. Therefore, this type of stand-type paper holder is difficult to employ in hospitals and welfare facilities.

  However, since the paper holder is erected from the floor surface, there is a sense of pressure, and it is not preferable from the viewpoint of mental health.

  Moreover, although the toilet room of a general household may be subjected to excretion training for infants, as a matter of course, the infant cannot reach the toilet paper supported on the wall surface via the paper holder. Therefore, parents who watch the training hand over the toilet paper collected to an appropriate length to the infant, but it is preferable as the excretion training that the infant also perform the act of collecting the toilet paper.

  Therefore, even if the above-mentioned stand-type paper holder is used, even if it is good at the time of excretion training for infants, it will eventually become an obstacle when not in use.

  By the way, in hospitals, welfare facilities, and hotels, etc., various types of information are reported to users, but most of them are broadcast through microphones or large monitors installed in the lobby. Yes. Although there is a service that broadcasts the announcement (announcement) by the former in the toilet room of these public facilities, the information is not easily transmitted to each individual room of the toilet room.

  Furthermore, in hotels and the like that are frequently used by businessmen, it is extremely convenient for the user if information can be acquired and transmitted via the communication network even in the toilet room.

  In addition, it is very convenient if such information can be displayed, or information can be acquired and transmitted within the above-mentioned “reachable range” corresponding to various users.

  Therefore, the present invention has an object to provide a paper holder device that can move a toilet paper holder to an arbitrary place in a toilet room, and that does not disturb or fall over due to installation. However, an object of the present invention is to provide a paper holder device in which information can be acquired and transmitted in a toilet room at a position that is easy for a user to see in addition to the above-described purpose.

  In order to achieve the above object, the paper holder device according to the present invention employs the following technical means.

  That is, the paper holder device according to claim 1 includes a paper holder part that supports toilet paper, a base side supported by a wall surface of a toilet room, and a front side connected to the paper holder part to provide a desired paper holder part. And a position-adjustable arm that is movably supported at a position.

  A paper holder device according to a second aspect is the paper holder device according to the first aspect, wherein the arm portion is appropriately provided with a hinge portion, and the paper holder portion and the arm portion are connected via the hinge portion. And

  A paper holder device according to a third aspect of the present invention is the paper holder device according to the first aspect, wherein the arm portion is provided with a hinge portion at a front portion, a base portion, and a midway portion, respectively, and the front portion is disposed on the paper via the hinge portion. The base part is connected to the holder part, and the base part is supported by the wall surface via the hinge part.

  According to a fourth aspect of the present invention, the paper holder device according to the second or third aspect is characterized in that the hinge portion is a hinge ball mechanism.

  A paper holder device according to a fifth aspect of the present invention is the paper holder device according to the first aspect, wherein the arm portion is supported by the wall surface so that the base side can protrude and retract from the wall surface.

  A paper holder device according to a sixth aspect of the present invention is the paper holder device according to any one of the first to fifth aspects, wherein the paper holder section includes a small article storage section on which small articles are placed.

  According to a seventh aspect of the present invention, in the paper holder device according to any one of the first to sixth aspects, the paper holder section includes an information display section on which information is displayed.

  According to an eighth aspect of the present invention, in the paper holder device according to the seventh aspect, the information display unit is an information terminal connectable to a communication network.

  According to claim 1, the paper holder portion supporting the toilet paper is connected via the position-adjustable arm portion supported by the wall surface, so that there is a risk of getting in the way of the toilet room or falling over. Further, there is no feeling of pressure, and the toilet paper holder can be moved to any desired place.

  In addition, when used for infant excretion training, it is possible for infants to collect toilet paper themselves and to move the paper holder to the wall surface when not in use. An extremely suitable paper holder device that can be used for excretion training can be provided.

  According to Claims 2 and 3, since the arm part is provided with the hinge part and the base part is supported on the wall surface, the paper holder device is subjected to any special construction in the existing toilet room. And can be installed easily. According to claim 4, since the hinge part is a hinge ball mechanism, the degree of freedom of rotation at the hinge part is increased, and the paper holder part can be moved to any position in a wide space. it can.

  According to claim 5, the paper holder portion is extended from a state that is not different from the conventional installation state in which the paper holder is provided on the wall surface by supporting the base side of the arm portion so as to be able to protrude from the wall surface. Can be moved to a desired position. Therefore, it is sufficient to move the paper holder only when position adjustment is necessary, and the space in the toilet room can be effectively utilized.

  According to claim 6, by providing a small article storage section for placing small articles in the paper holder section, when using the toilet, medical supplies, medicines, sanitary articles, etc. can be placed at hand, Therefore, convenience for the toilet user can be improved.
