Description

  The present invention relates to a toilet paper holder of a type in which roll-shaped toilet paper is set and used, and more particularly relates to a toilet paper holder formed so that the drawer end of the paper can be easily picked and can be pulled out easily and quickly. It is.

Conventionally, as this type of holder, for example, a roll-shaped toilet paper is formed by a main body portion that holds a core so as to be rotatable, and a bowl-shaped cover that covers the upper surface of the main body portion. There is a structure that pulls out the paper drawer at the part.
Conventionally, a slit is formed horizontally along the front end near the front end of the cover. Paper is passed through the slit from the back side to the front side, and the paper pulled out to the front side is pushed down and cut at the front end of the cover. The thing formed so that it may do is also known (for example, refer patent document 1).

Conventionally, this type of holder has a problem in that when the paper is cut at the front end portion of the cover, the paper is caught by the sawtooth at the front end portion, and when the paper is next pulled out, it is difficult to grasp the paper drawing end. Therefore, it is desirable that this type of holder is formed so that the paper can be pulled out quickly and easily even when the front end portion of the cover is formed in a sawtooth shape.
Further, as described above, the conventional product described in Patent Document 1 has a structure in which the drawer end of the paper is passed through the slit and the drawer end is arranged on the front side of the cover. Therefore, according to this, it is easy to pick the paper drawer end, but the paper drawer end hangs down to the front side of the cover and is exposed, so the appearance is bad. When the paper becomes wet and becomes easy to tear, and when the paper drawer end falls out of the slit, the drawer end must be re-passed through the slit each time.

The present invention has been proposed in view of such problems of the prior art.
Therefore, the technical problem to be solved by the present invention is that, in a toilet paper holder having a structure in which the paper is cut at the front end portion of the cover, the cut paper is exposed to the front end of the cover without exposing the drawer end of the paper to the front side of the cover. An object of the present invention is to provide a toilet paper holder formed so that it can be prevented from sticking to a part and can be quickly and easily picked and pulled out.

The present invention employs the following technical means in order to solve the above problems.
That is, according to the present invention, as shown in FIG. 1 and the like, a roll-shaped toilet paper 1 is rotatably held with the core 1a lying sideways, and a bowl-shaped cover that covers the upper surface of the main body 2 3 is a toilet paper holder that is used by pulling out the drawing portion of the paper 1 at the front end portion 3a of the cover 3, and is placed at the rear position of the front end portion 3a of the cover 3 at the time of cutting. When the paper is pulled up, it is pushed by the paper 1 and rotates together with the front side, and after cutting, it is provided with an operating piece 4 that turns back and arranges the drawer end 1b of the paper 1 in a hanging shape. In addition, a picking portion 8 for picking up the drawer end 1b of the paper 1 hanging from the rear side of the operation piece 4 from below is formed in a notch shape by being recessed upward from the lower end 4a ( (Claim 1)

  In the case of the present invention, the operation piece 4 is usually formed in a horizontally long shape with a metal plate or a resin plate, but is not limited thereto, and the shape and material thereof are arbitrary. The operation piece 4 may be provided on the back side of the cover 3 or may be provided on the front side of the main body 2. In the case of the present invention, the shape and material of the main body 2 and the cover 3 and the holding structure of the paper 1 are arbitrary.

In the present invention, it is preferable that the knob portion 8 is formed at the center in the left-right direction of the operation piece 4 (claim 2).
Because, according to this, paper 1 can be pulled out more easily than when picking point 8 is offset, and it can be handled with one type regardless of the mounting position of the holder or whether the user is right-handed or left-handed. Because it gets better.

Further, in the present invention according to claim 1 or 2, as shown in FIG. 2 or the like, the operation piece 4 is preferably provided with a lower end 4a lower than a front end portion 3a of the cover 3 (claim 3). ).
This is because according to this, the drawer end 1b of the paper 1 can be easily confirmed, and the drawer end 1b can be easily picked and pulled out accordingly.

In the present invention, the drawer end of the paper disposed on the back side of the cover in this way is formed so as to be forcibly separated from the front end portion of the cover by the operating piece after the paper is cut.
Therefore, in the case of the present invention, since the paper drawing end is always disposed on the back side of the cover, the disadvantage caused by exposing the drawing end can be eliminated. Also, according to this, it is possible to prevent the cut paper from sticking to the front end portion of the cover, and the paper can be picked and pulled out quickly and easily.

Hereinafter, the best mode for carrying out the present invention will be described.
As shown in FIG. 1 and the like, the toilet paper holder of the present invention has a main body 2 that holds a roll-shaped toilet paper 1 rotatably with the core 1a lying sideways, and a cover that covers the upper surface of the main body 2. The cover 3 is formed with a front cover 3, and the paper 1 is pulled out at the front end 3 a of the cover 3.

  In the present invention, when the paper 1 is pulled up to the rear position of the front end portion 3a of the cover 3 when the paper 1 is cut, the paper 1 is pushed by the paper 1 and rotates together with the front side. The operation piece 4 is provided so that the drawer end 1b of the paper 1 is arranged in a hanging manner. In this embodiment, the operating piece 4 is formed in a horizontally long plate shape, and is pivotally attached to both sides of a frame member 5 which is connected to the tip of the cover 3 and has an open top and bottom surface by a horizontal shaft 6. , Provided on the back side of the cover 3.

  In this embodiment, the front end portion 3a of the cover 3 is formed by a sawtooth-shaped cutting member 5b fixed to the lower back side of the vertical front plate 5a of the frame member 5. The saw-toothed cutting edge of the cutting member 5b is inclined forward and downward from the front surface of the vertical front plate 5a, and is disposed so as to protrude slightly in front of or below the front surface of the vertical front plate 5a. This is to make it easier to pull out the paper 1 along the blade edge and to prevent the cover 3 from being unlocked by the pulling-up operation of the paper 1. In the case of the present invention, the length of the paper 1 exposed from the lower end 4a of the operating piece 4 is determined by the distance between the lower end 4a of the operating piece 4 and the cutting edge of the cutting member 5b when the operating piece 4 rotates. That is, as the distance is shorter, the exposed length of the paper 1 can be suppressed.

  In addition, a paper abutting portion 5 c for smoothly guiding the paper 1 forward is formed at the lower part of the back surface of the frame member 5. The paper abutting portion 5c is formed in an arc shape having a convex curve on the rear side. The paper abutting portion 5 c of this embodiment is formed as a separate member and is bonded to the lower part of the back surface of the frame member 5. The paper 1 is drawn forward toward the cutting edge of the cutting member 5b through the paper abutting portion 5c, and can be drawn out smoothly.

  Reference numeral 7 (see FIG. 2 and the like) denotes a coil spring for rotating and returning the operation piece 4. The coil spring 7 is fitted and attached to the horizontal shaft 6 of the operating piece 4, and is provided on both sides of the operating piece 4. The upper piece 7 a of the coil spring 7 is locked to a support portion 5 d that protrudes inward from the inner surface of the side portion of the frame member 5. Further, the lower piece 7b of the coil spring 7 is passed from the back side to the front side of the operating piece 4 through the notches 4b formed on both upper sides of the operating piece 4, and is locked to the front edge of the notch 4b.

  Reference numeral 8 denotes a picking portion for picking the drawer end 1b of the paper 1 hanging from the rear side of the operation piece 4 from below. In this embodiment, the knob portion 8 is formed in a cutout shape by being recessed in a horizontally long rectangular shape upward from the lower end 4a of the operation piece 4 at the center in the left-right direction of the operation piece 4. 2 and the like, the operation piece 4 is provided with a lower end 4a lower than the front end portion 3a of the cover 3 so that the paper 1 can be easily pulled out.

  Reference numeral 9 (see FIG. 3) denotes a pair of parallel support rods that support the paper 1. The support bars 9 are horizontally mounted on the lower part of the main body 2 along the arrangement direction of the cores 1 a of the paper 1 and in a state where the distance between the support bars 9 is smaller than the diameter of the core 1 a of the paper 1. In the case of the present invention of this embodiment, the rear support rod 9 a is formed so as to be retractable within the range of the diameter of the paper 1 in conjunction with the opening operation of the cover 3 by the link mechanism 10.

  The link mechanism 10 includes a flange 10a formed integrally with the cover 3 at the end of the pivot shaft 11 of the cover 3, an upper end pivotally attached to the flange 10a, and a lower end supported on the rear side. The link member 10b is pivotally attached to the end of the rod 9a. Reference numeral 12 denotes a slit for guiding the end portion of the rear support rod 9a. The slits 12 are formed in the side plates 13 inside both sides of the main body 2. Each end of the rear support rod 9a protrudes into the internal space on both sides of the main body 2 through the slit 12, and is connected to the flange 10a through the link member 10b. In the case of the present invention, when all the paper 1 is pulled out to become only the core 1a, the core 1a is supported by the support bar 9 and remains in the main body 2 without dropping. When the cover 3 is opened, the rear support rod 9a is lifted obliquely backward while being guided by the slit 12, and then retracted. Then, the space | interval of support rods 9 becomes larger than the diameter of the core 1a. Thereby, the lead 1a falls and is discharged.

Next, the operation of the present invention will be described.
The user lifts and opens the cover 3 and inserts a new paper 1 into the main body 2. In the case of the product of the present invention, the retreat distance of the rear support rod 9a is selected within the range of the diameter of the paper 1 as described above. Therefore, the paper 1 put into the main body 2 is supported by the pair of support rods 9 and is held by the main body 2 without dropping.
