Description

  The present invention holds roll-shaped sanitary paper such as toilet paper and kitchen paper, a roll-shaped plastic film, a roll-shaped aluminum sheet (hereinafter collectively referred to as a winding roll body) and the like in a predetermined position. This relates to a roll paper holder. In particular, the present invention relates to a roll paper holder capable of feeding and cutting toilet paper or the like with one hand without using both hands.

Examples of papers and films wound in rolls include various materials and applications such as toilet paper, kitchen paper, food packaging wrap film, aluminum foil, and oven paper.
In particular, everyone uses the toilet paper most everyday, but a dedicated holder has been conventionally used to hold the toilet paper in place. Most of the rolls other than toilet paper, except for the toilet paper, are not used, because most of them are used as storage containers.
For this reason, used sales containers are often discarded as used waste. Therefore, it is worth considering to use a dedicated holder for wrap film and kitchen paper other than toilet paper to reduce waste.

  Conventionally, a toilet paper holder that is commercially available includes a base that is attached to the wall of the toilet, a pair of side plates protruding forward from both sides thereof, a support shaft that rotatably supports the toilet paper provided between the side plates, and an upper end of the base. It is comprised from the cover board attached to the cover spindle. The cover plate is usually a plate-like member that is attached so as to cover the toilet paper supported by the support shaft, and is curved so that the front edge thereof is in contact with the peripheral surface of the winding roll body. The front edge of the board also functions to cut the toilet paper into a substantially horizontal straight line.

By the way, with a conventional toilet paper holder, after the roll roll is rotated and the toilet paper is fed forward by the required length, the toilet paper is grasped with one hand and the other hand is attached to the cover plate to roll the toilet paper. The hand holding the paper was pulled upward while pressing downward so as not to rotate, and the paper was cut against the front edge of the cover plate.
In order to use toilet paper in this way, the toilet paper could not be cut out unless both hands were used.

  However, if you cannot use both hands freely, or if you have a disability in one hand's motor function due to various diseases or injuries (hereinafter referred to as a person with a handicap), if you do not use both hands, The conventional toilet paper holder that cannot be cut was very inconvenient. Also, in toilets in vehicles such as trains and airplanes, one hand is used to support the body in a shaking car, so both hands cannot be used to cut paper. It was very inconvenient when you could not use it freely.

  In addition, in toilets used by many people such as public toilets, it is desirable that the toilet paper can be cut and used without touching the cover etc. for hygiene purposes.

  Further, in the conventional toilet paper holder, if the paper tip is hidden behind the cover after the paper is cut, it takes time to take out the paper tip for the next use. Also, if the paper tip is stuck to the roll, it is difficult for even a dexterous person to peel it off, so it is very difficult for small children and handicapped people. It was.

From the above, a cover plate with a triangular cut in the horizontal direction is known (for example, see Patent Document 1).
Also known is a paper support part provided at the front of the holder body, a paper cutting tooth part provided on the support part, and a coil spring fitted into the cover support shaft (for example, Patent Document 2). reference).
Further, there is known a cover plate provided with a serrated cutting edge and a recessed portion in which a fingertip fits at the front edge of the cover plate (see, for example, Patent Document 3).
Furthermore, what provided the paper cutter which can be moved up and down is known (for example, refer patent document 4).

  As shown in the above-mentioned Patent Document 1, in the case where a triangular cut is made in the horizontal direction in the cover plate, the cut is provided in a direction substantially perpendicular to the paper feeding direction. It is difficult to put in. For this reason, in order to put the paper into the notch, it is necessary to stop the rotation of the paper roll and then feed the paper to the side of the holder and then insert it into the notch, and the paper cannot be easily inserted into the notch.

  In particular, when cutting the paper, the paper must be pulled in the opposite direction to when inserting the paper into the notch, so the paper must be moved to shake the left and right of the holder. It was difficult to move the arm to the left and right, especially for people with reduced mobility, and it was necessary to secure the space. In addition, for example, when a holder is installed on either the left or right wall of the toilet seat, you must reach far away from the toilet seat when inserting or cutting paper into the notch of the holder, It was difficult to cut the paper.

In addition, any of the holders described in Patent Documents 1, 3, and 4 are cut in a substantially horizontal state with the paper spread, especially when cutting the paper, and the cover plate is easy to lift, There is also a problem that the roll body is easy to roll and the paper is difficult to cut unless the cover plate is pressed against the roll with a finger. And the thing of patent documents 2 and 4 has the problem that a structure is complicated and a manufacturing cost increases because the support part and paper cutter of a cover board and another member are assembled and arranged.
Furthermore, in Patent Documents 2 to 4, since the cutting tooth portion and the cutter are provided in the front portion of the cover plate, the head or the like in the case of falling in the toilet or bending up the upper body, etc. Hit the cover plate, and there was a risk of injury from the cutting teeth and cutter.

  The present invention provides a roll paper holder that can solve the above-mentioned problems, and even if a person has a handicap without using both hands without being injured even if a part of the body hits accidentally, It is an object of the present invention to provide a roll paper holder capable of feeding and cutting paper with one hand.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing an embodiment of a roll paper holder of the present invention. As shown in the figure, the holder 1 of the present invention has a holder base 2 for mounting on a wall surface or the like by mounting means such as screws, and a pair of brackets 3 and 3 provided facing both sides thereof.
A pair of left and right brackets 3, 3 provided on the holder base 2 is provided with a roll mounting shaft 9 so that a winding roll body P is attached. A cover plate 4 is attached to the cover support shaft 5 provided between the left and right brackets 3 and 3 at the upper part of the winding roll body P, and is attached to the peripheral surface of the winding roll body (roll-like sanitary paper) P. The winding roll body P is configured to be in contact with the winding roll P to prevent rewinding and contamination.
2 is a central longitudinal sectional view of the same embodiment, FIG. 3 is a perspective view of a used state, FIG. 4 is a longitudinal sectional view of FIG. 3, and FIG. 5 is a perspective view showing a state where the cover plate 4 is opened upward.
In the illustrated holder, the base 2, the bracket 3, and the cover plate 4 are made mainly of a metal such as aluminum or stainless steel or a plastic material. The detailed configuration will be described below.

The cover plate 4 has a plate shape as a whole, and is curved downward so that the front end edge of the cover plate 4 forms a substantially arc along the shape of the winding roll body P. Further, the cover plate 4 is rotatably attached to the cover support shaft 5 provided between the left and right brackets 3 and 3 as described above.
On the other hand, a substantially V-shaped slit 8 opened forward is formed at the front edge of the cover plate 4. As shown in FIG. 6, one V-shaped slit 8 is provided at a substantially central portion of the front edge portion of the cover plate 4. However, as illustrated in FIGS. 7A and 7B, it is also possible to consider the direction of the user's dominant hand by providing it near the right edge of the cover plate or near the left edge of the cover plate.
In consideration of the roll width of the winding roll body, the opening width of the V-shaped slit 8 is smaller than 1/2 and larger than 1/4, specifically, 1 / roll width of the winding roll body. It is good to form in the range of 5-3 / 5. More specifically, as shown in FIG. 6, the opening width of the V-shaped slit 8 is about 0.5 L and the depth is about 0.7 L with respect to the lateral width L of the cover plate 4. Usually, the lateral width L of the cover plate 4 is slightly larger than the roll width of the winding roll body. In the case of a toilet roll, most of the roll width of the winding roll body is about 11 to 12 cm. Therefore, the opening width of the V-shaped slit 8 is preferably 1 to 3 at the widest portion of the V-shaped slit. It is preferable to form it with a width dimension (about 2 to 5 cm) that can accommodate a fingertip of the order.
Further, the V-shaped slit 8 is formed in a hyperbolic shape with opposite side edges of the slit sandwiching the axis at the center of the slit, so that the paper to be cut can be constricted and held in a state of being squeezed into a smooth arcuate valley. It is better to configure as follows. Of course, the V-shaped slit 8 can be formed such that opposite side edges of the slit form an oblique side of an isosceles triangle. Also in this case, it is preferable to raise the safety by chamfering the corners of the illustrated slit 8 so as not to be injured when touched.

  One end of the base side of the cover plate 4 is attached to the cover support shaft 5 so as to be slidable in the axial direction. Further, a coil spring 6 that presses the cover plate 4 against the other shaft end side of the support shaft 5 is contracted at one end of the cover support shaft 5. That is, in the embodiment of FIGS. 1 to 5, the coil spring 6 is installed at the right end of the support shaft, and the cover plate 4 is always urged to the left side on the opposite side by the spring force of the coil spring.

  As the coil spring 6, a coil spring having torsional elasticity (torsion coil spring) is used, one end of the spring is fixed to the holder base 2 or the bracket 3, and the other end is fixed to the cover plate 4, A force for pressing the vicinity of the front end edge of the cover plate 4 so as to always come into contact with the peripheral surface of the winding roll body P can be generated (see FIG. 3).

  A portion indicated by reference numeral 7 on the cover plate is a substantially rectangular notch (a space) provided at one end on the base side, and the pressing coil spring 6 is wound around the support shaft 5 in the notch. It is well placed and fit. Instead of the notch (space), one side edge of the cover plate may be formed obliquely, and the coil spring 6 may be disposed at the oblique part. The notch portion 7 may not be provided.

On the other hand, a cover stopper 10 is provided on the upper end of the bracket 3 on the opposite side (left end) of the cover plate 4 from the notch 7. The cover stopper 10 functions to prevent the cover plate 4 from rotating and opening upwards and holding it in place.
As shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 3, the surface of the stopper 10 with which the cover plate 4 abuts is composed of a long and substantially rectangular triangular piece member, and is fixed to one bracket 3 with a mounting portion 10b. The opposite side protrudes inward of the bracket 3 so as to bulge from the support shaft side of the cover plate 4 toward the tip end side of the cover plate 4, and the bulging portion of the stopper 10 has a triangular shape. It has an inclined structure.

Next, the operation will be described.
In the roll paper holder of the present invention, the roll mounting shaft 9 is installed horizontally on the pair of left and right brackets 3 and 3 provided on the holder base 2 in the same manner as the conventional roll paper holder, and the winding roll body P is attached. When pulling out the paper from the take-up roll body P that is rotatably held by the roll mounting shaft 9, as shown in FIG. 2, the paper is pulled obliquely downward. The roll body P rotates while being supported by the mounting shaft 9, and the paper is pulled out.
When a paper having an appropriate length is fed out and then pulled in an obliquely upward direction, the paper to be cut is narrowed and held in the V-shaped slit 8 as shown in FIGS. . The paper is fixed when it reaches the innermost portion of the V-shaped slit 8. At this time, the cover plate 4 is prevented from rotating upward by the cover stopper 10 so that the rotation of the cover stopper is suppressed, and as a result of holding the take-up roll body in a predetermined position, the paper fixed as described above is further inclined upward. When pulled, the squeezed paper is cut at the innermost edge of the V-shaped slit 8. If the paper is previously provided with perforations for cutting, the paper can be cut more easily and cleanly.
Further, as described above, the coil spring 6 having torsional elasticity is preferably urged so that the vicinity of the front edge of the cover plate is always in contact with the peripheral surface of the winding roll body.

When doing in this way, the end of the cut end of the cut paper is always exposed and held in a state of being sandwiched between the narrowest valleys of the V-shaped slit at the front end of the cover. Therefore, the next time the paper is used, there is no hassle of searching for the paper edge, and the paper edge can be removed from the V-shaped slit and used immediately.
Further, even if the paper end is detached from the V-shaped slit 8, it is easy to grasp the paper because the finger can be put into the slit 8 portion.
Further, the paper sandwiched between the slits 8 can be easily removed from the slits by pulling the paper end downward, so that the next use can be started smoothly.
In this way, the paper is inserted into the slit 8 while being pulled out and cut, and the end of the paper at the end of cutting is retained as the exposed part at the innermost part of the V-shaped slit 8 and is cut from the conventional one. Can be done easily and smoothly.

FIG. 5 is a perspective view showing a state in which the cover plate 4 is opened upward.
In the present invention, a cover plate 4 is attached to a support shaft 5 provided between the left and right brackets 3 and 3 so as to be slidable in the axial direction, and the cover plate 4 is attached to the right end of the support shaft 5 on the support shaft. The pressing coil spring 6 is arranged to be biased toward the other shaft end side (left side in the figure), and the cover plate 4 is rotated upward on the upper end side of either one of the left and right brackets on the other shaft end side. Since the cover stopper 10 that suppresses movement and is held at a predetermined position is provided, the cover plate 4 is slid to the right, and the cover plate 4 is opened upward while being pressed to the right while avoiding the stopper 10. Can do. When the pressing force against the cover plate 4 is released when the cover plate 4 is opened upward, the cover plate 4 is pushed back to the left by the spring 6 and pressed against the stopper 10, and the cover plate 4 is fixed at the opened position. be able to.

  The operation of opening the cover plate 4 while pressing the cover plate 4 to the right side can be performed sufficiently with one hand, and the cover can be fixed at the open position, so there is no need to hold the cover plate with the hand, and the roll body Exchange work can be done with one hand. When the cover plate 4 is returned after the replacement of the roll body, the cover plate 4 can be smoothly moved downward along the triangular inclined surface of the stopper 10 only by pushing the cover plate 4 forward.

  As the roll body support means, various types such as one that engages the extendable mounting shaft 9 inside the bracket, or one that forms the roll mounting shaft on the left and right brackets 3 can be used, Any support means may be used.
