Abstract

<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an auxiliary device for a toilet paper holder allowing a single-hand cut, easily installed in any institution, and easily operated by the elderly using only one hand by solving a problem in which toilet paper holders in toilets in hospitals, welfare facilities, nursing homes for the elderly and many other institutions are designed to be used by a healthy subject alone using the both hands and the elderly using only one hand freely may be sometimes injured with a cutting blade of the toilet paper holder by being forced to have an unnatural posture. <P>SOLUTION: This auxiliary device for the toilet paper holder allowing the single-hand cut can be attached to a lower position of the toilet paper holder 1 generally used at home, comprises a pair of magnet receiving base 3 and magnet receiving base 4 attached with a magnet or a metal attracted to the magnet on the paired surfaces and stops the pulling operation of the toilet paper by the magnetic force. This constitution can provide a comfortable and sanitary environment for the elderly using only one hand freely in the toilet. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2007,JPO&INPIT

Description

In the present invention, when a toilet paper is cut from a conventional toilet paper holder, it is very difficult for a disabled person other than a healthy person who can use only one hand. It is an invention in the field related to an assisting device for a toilet paper holder that can be broken with one hand, which has solved the difficulty.

Many inventions have been filed for toilet paper holders for the same purpose, but most toilet paper holders have special devices attached to the toilet paper holder, complicated structures, and sharp cutting teeth. The ones related to their own modifications are common. That is, there is no invention that uses an existing toilet paper holder and adds an auxiliary tool near the toilet paper holder.

As a measure to improve this, a magnet cradle with a magnet or a metal adhering to the magnet attached to a pair of surfaces that can be attached to the lower position of a toilet paper holder generally used at home, that is, toilet paper that can be torn off with one hand Invented an auxiliary tool for holder.

In the present invention, even though a general toilet paper holder can be used to pull out toilet paper with one hand, it is very difficult to cut the toilet paper. However, this is a modification of the holder itself, and its structure is complicated. Therefore, it is to provide an auxiliary tool that achieves the object in the vicinity of the existing holder in each household.

The concept of the present invention for solving the above problems is to attach a pair of magnet supports 3 and 4 fixed to a wall surface in parallel with the holder 1 at a lower position of a toilet paper holder 1 generally used at home.

The magnet cradle 4 is removed from the magnet cradle 3 with one hand, the toilet paper drawer 2a is pulled out, and then the magnet cradle 4 is attracted to the magnet cradle 3 so as to sandwich the drawer 2a. However, the toilet paper drawer 2a is pulled out until the perforation 2b of the toilet paper passes through the magnet holders 3 and 4.

Since the drawer portion 2a is sandwiched between a pair of magnets, if the drawer portion 2a is pulled downward with one hand, it can be easily separated from the perforation 2b without using cutting teeth.

Since the present invention is configured as described above, the effects described below can be expected.

By using the toilet paper holder auxiliary tool according to the present invention, the toilet paper can be easily separated from the perforation without using one hand and without using cutting teeth.

The present invention is further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and can be applied to any shape of toilet paper holder.

FIG. 1 is a side view showing a relative relationship between a toilet paper holder 1, a toilet paper 2, a toilet paper drawer 2a, and a pair of magnet holders 3 and 4. As shown in FIG. The magnet cradle 4 is removed from the magnet cradle 3 with one hand, the toilet paper drawer 2 a is pulled down, and the magnet cradle 4 is again attracted to the magnet cradle 3.

FIG. 2 is a front view of FIG. 1 and shows a perforation 2b of toilet paper.

FIG. 3 shows a three-dimensional view of the pair of magnet holders 3 and 4. A magnet 3 a or a metal that is attracted to the magnet is attached to the surface of the magnet cradle 3. Although not shown in the figure on the back, a double-sided tape or adhesive for attaching to the wall is attached. A magnet 4a is attached to the surface of the magnet cradle 4 and a handle 4b is attached to the back thereof.
