Description

  The present invention opens to a roll paper holder for holding roll paper represented by, for example, toilet paper, and in particular, opens to a roll paper holder that automatically feeds a cut roll paper end to form a picking allowance. .

  When roll paper such as toilet paper is cut with an attached cutting blade, the leading end of the paper is hidden behind the cutting blade, and it is necessary to pick up the leading end while lifting the cutting blade in the next use. At this time, if the cutting part is in close contact with the roll paper, or if the roll paper is reversed and the leading end is hidden behind, the picking may be difficult. In order to solve such problems, various roll paper holders have been proposed for automatically feeding out the leading end of the roll paper after cutting and securing a picking allowance for the next use.

As a prior art of such a roll paper holder, for example, there are those described in the following documents.
JP 2003-2492 A JP, 2003-472, A The conventional roll paper holder described in patent documents 1 is provided with the gear train connected to a paper feed roller, and the movable board which can be self-recovered by elastic force, and rolls out roll paper by hand. Rotate the paper feed roller and move the movable plate to the return accumulation position against this return force with this rotational force, while rotating the gear train with the self-reset force of the movable plate unlocked after use In this configuration, the paper feed roller is rotated while the leading edge of the roll paper is fed out.

  Further, the conventional roll paper holder described in Patent Document 2 is a saw-toothed member that is mounted on a shaft that has a saw-tooth gear portion and rotates at the same time as the roll paper so as to be swingable from the holder cover. The roll paper is rotated by a predetermined angle by pushing down and releasing the cover.

  However, in order to feed the paper with the rotational force of the paper feed roller, a sufficient clamping force to hold the paper and a strong rotational force to rotate the roller against this are required. Therefore, it was difficult to cover only with the accumulated power of the movable plate that can be self-recovered.

  On the other hand, when feeding the paper by directly rotating the roll paper holder shaft, the paper feed amount is the length corresponding to the push-down amount of the cover. However, if the distance between the cover and the paper is large, there is a problem that the usability as a holder is deteriorated.

  This invention solves the above-mentioned problem, and after the roll paper is drawn out and cut, a roll paper holder that can reliably feed out the necessary length as a picking margin with a sufficient rotational force without using the power of a motor or the like The purpose is to provide.

  In order to solve the above-described problems, a roll paper holder of the present invention includes a roll paper shaft that penetrates the air core of the roll paper, a housing that stores the roll paper, and a paper outlet that opens on the front surface of the casing. In the roll paper holder provided, the roll paper shaft has a bevel gear and an end that is closely attached to an inner surface of the air core portion and is inserted into the roll paper shaft in a side of the roll paper holding portion. The part gears form a circumferential groove that is slidably in contact with the respective pawl clutches that are attached thereto and locked when rotating in the paper take-out direction, and the lower shaft that is disposed in parallel to the roll paper shaft is provided with an intermediate gear. A lower gear that slides in contact with a pawl clutch attached by forming the circumferential groove and receiving a rotation of the end gear and a pin projecting from the pawl clutch of the lower gear is loosened in the hole. A floating tubular body having a hook to be inserted and loosely inserting the lower shaft; An end outer tube that is inserted so as to be movable only in the axial direction with respect to the body and located on the opposite side of the lower gear, and the movable tube is loosely inserted and the circumferential groove is formed and attached. A lower bevel gear arranged to be in contact with and separated from the claw clutch and detachable from the bevel gear; a saw gear arranged to be in contact with and separated from a claw that is in close contact with the lower bevel gear and fixed to the inner surface of the housing; A helical spring that has one end fixed to the saw gear and the other end fixed to the outer pipe and accumulates the rotational force of the lower gear, and the saw gear and the lower bevel gear are attached to the floating tube body. The laterally movable pawl clutch and the circumferential groove of the lower bevel gear A swing rod that engages with the outer end tube to release the engagement of the shaft, and this swing rod is pulled in the opposite direction to the lower gear. An elastic body fit and is characterized in that it comprises an arm for in response to when cutting the roll paper taken out from the outlet preparative the paper pushes the swing rod to the lower gear direction.

  The casing is appropriately provided with a wall for pivotally supporting the roll paper shaft and the lower shaft. The roll paper shaft is attached to the inner surface of the air core portion of the roll paper by mounting the roll paper holding unit so that the rotation of the roll paper coincides with the rotation of the roll paper shaft. The side of the housing can be opened and closed to enable roll paper replacement, and the used paper core is removed and a new roll paper is replenished using this opening. For this reason, the bearing portion that pivotally supports one end of the roll paper shaft is configured to be detachable from the shaft. The roll paper shaft can be cantilevered.

  The bevel gear and the end gear are free from the roll paper shaft, and the rotation of these gears depends on the pawl clutch to be attached or the lower stage bevel gear or the middle stage gear to be connected. The pawl clutch is a disk that is in close contact with the bevel gear or the end gear, and rotates simultaneously with the roll paper shaft. A hole for loosely inserting the claw pin is formed in the disk, and the claw pin is urged in the circumferential groove direction of each gear by an elastic body attached to the plate surface.

  A plurality of circumferential grooves for storing the claw pins are provided so as to divide the circumference appropriately, and each circumferential groove is gradually deeper than an inlet portion formed in each gear face plate, and a locking portion is provided at the back. When the claw pin rotates due to the rotation of the roll paper shaft, the claw pin enters the circumferential groove while sliding the claw pin tip against the gear face plate. At this time, at the time of the rotation entering from the inlet portion, it stops at the locking portion, and the rotational force is transmitted to each gear. On the other hand, at the time of rotation entering from the locking portion side, the rotational force is not transmitted to the gear because it comes out of the groove from the inlet portion.

  On the contrary, when each gear itself is rotated by the rotation of the lower bevel gear or the middle gear to which each gear is connected, the circumferential groove rotates while the tip of the claw pin slides on the gear face plate. In this case, at the time of rotation entering the claw pin from the inlet portion, the rotation force is transmitted to the roll paper shaft via the claw clutch in order to hold the claw pin by the locking portion. At the time of rotation entering from the engaging portion side, the rotational force is not transmitted to the roll paper shaft.

  The lower shaft is disposed parallel to the roll paper shaft at a height at which the lower gear and the lower bevel gear receive rotation of the end gear and the bevel gear, respectively. The pawl clutch attached to the lower gear rotates in the same direction as the lower shaft, but the lower gear and the idler tube have a free configuration with respect to the lower shaft.

  The rotation of the lower gear is dependent on the rotation of the middle gear, and the pawl clutch disc is provided with a hole for loose insertion of the pawl pin, and an elastic body attached to the disc surface of the pawl pin. Is urged in the direction of the circumferential groove formed in the lower gear. A plurality of the circumferential grooves are also provided so as to divide the circumference appropriately, and a locking portion is provided deeper than the inlet portion formed in the gear face plate.

  When the lower gear rotates by receiving the rotation of the middle gear, the circumferential groove rotates while the tip of the claw pin slides on the gear face plate. When the lower gear rotates in response to rotation in the paper take-out direction, the circumferential groove enters the claw pin from the inlet portion and holds the claw pin at the locking portion. For this reason, the rotational force is transmitted to the floating tubular body through the hook that loosely inserts the pin protruding from the claw clutch into the hole. In other words, the floating tube rotates in the same direction in response to the rotation in the paper take-out direction.

  In the floating tube body, a pin is loosely inserted into one end portion, and a small disk is projected from the inside, and a small pin is also projected from the small disk toward the face plate of the lower bevel gear. The face plate of the lower stage bevel gear is formed with a circumferential groove in which this small pin can abut and engage. The small disk and the small pin constitute a pawl clutch that can move laterally, and the small pin is brought into contact with and separated from the relative movement of the floating tubular body and the lower bevel gear.

  The lower bevel gear has a free structure with respect to the idler tube, but when the idler tube rotates in the paper take-out direction, the small pin enters the circumferential groove while sliding the tip against the gear face plate. ing. At this time, since the small pin stops at the engaging portion when rotating through the entrance portion, the rotational force is transmitted to the lower stage bevel gear.

  The bevel gear provided on the roll paper shaft and the lower bevel gear provided on the floating tube are configured so as to be able to contact and separate from each other, and transmit the mutual rotation to the other party only when they are in mesh. The shape of the gear is set so that when the lower bevel gear slides, the meshing or separating operation can be smoothly performed.

  The saw gear is in close contact with the side of the lower bevel gear, and the outer periphery is formed with saw teeth that can be brought into contact with and separated from the claws fixed on the inner surface of the housing. The claw urges a small piece of a shape that can match the saw blade in the saw blade direction by an elastic body, and when the claw and the saw blade are engaged with each other, rotation is allowed only in the paper take-out direction. When the mesh is disengaged, the rotation direction of the saw gear and the lower bevel gear can be bidirectional.

  A ridge is also formed at the other end of the floating tubular body, and an end outer tube is inserted inwardly. The end outer tube has a substantially elliptical cross section and is configured to be movable only in the axial direction because rotation is suppressed by the action of the engaging rocking rod.

  A helical spring is provided between the end outer tube and the saw gear. The helical spring accumulates power while reducing its length by the rotation of the saw gear that receives the rotational force of the lower gear in the paper take-out direction. At the time of accumulation, the end outer tube is reduced by the reduction of the helical spring. It is drawn to the saw gear side. When the engagement of the saw teeth and the claws is released and the accumulated force is released, the saw gear is rotated in the reverse direction and the end outer tube is pushed back outwardly by the extension of the helical spring.

  A force that pulls in the opposite direction to the lower gear is always applied to the swing rod by the action of an elastic body provided inside the housing. For this reason, the end outer tube, the helical spring, the saw gear, the lower bevel gear, and the floating tube are usually located in a direction away from the bevel gear. Therefore, even when the lower gear rotates in the paper take-out direction, the meshing of the bevel gears is not realized.

  When the roll paper is taken out from the paper take-out port, and the arm is operated when cutting the paper, the swing gear is pushed in the direction of the lower gear in accordance with this movement. At this time, the saw gear and the lower bevel gear are transverse to the idler tube. As a result, the bevel gears are disengaged and the bevel gears are disengaged at the same time.

  When the swing rod further presses the outer end pipe, the helical spring contracts against the engaging part protruding from the middle part of the floating pipe body while contracting, and further moves the floating pipe body laterally relative to the lower bevel gear. At this time, since the small disk projecting from the small pin also moves laterally, the engagement between the small pin and the circumferential groove formed in the face plate of the lower bevel gear is released. For this reason, when the accumulating force of the helical spring is released, the lower stage bevel gear having a structure free from the floating tube rotates the meshing bevel gear in the paper take-out direction.

  At this time, the bevel gear rotates the circumferential groove while sliding the claw pin tip of the claw clutch against the face plate and holds the claw pin entering from the inlet portion with the engaging portion, and the rotational force when the accumulated force is released is applied to the roll paper shaft. To communicate. Therefore, the knob is automatically sent out according to the rotational force of the helical spring.

  At this time, since the roll paper shaft rotates in the paper take-out direction, the end gear, the middle gear, the lower gear, and the idler tube also rotate in the same direction. Since it is a free configuration, mutual rotation is not hindered.

  The paper outlet of the roll paper holder according to claim 2 has a lid for opening and closing the triangular opening, and the lid includes a cutting frame having a size that matches the opening, and at the time of cutting, the lid A contact portion for pushing the arm is provided.

  The cutting frame and the edge of the triangular opening are configured so that mutual cutting blades are in sliding contact with each other, and the paper to be sandwiched is cut into a triangle. The arm is set so that the tip protrudes outside the housing and is pushed in the required length when the lid is pushed.

  The roll paper shaft of the roll paper holder according to claim 3 has a belt wheel and an auxiliary rotating plate disposed on the side of the roll paper, and upper and lower rollers interlocking with the belt wheel guide the roll paper in the direction of the paper outlet. The auxiliary rotating plate is characterized in that it forms a circumferential groove that slides in contact with a claw provided in the housing and permits rotation in the paper take-out direction but prevents rotation in the reverse direction.

  A part of the circumference of the auxiliary rotating plate appears outside the housing, and the paper is fed by rotating it when the knob portion is insufficient. If the auxiliary rotating plate is rotated in the reverse direction by mistake, the knob is pulled in. Therefore, a circumferential groove that is locked to the claw is formed for the purpose of preventing this. The claw is urged in the circumferential groove direction of the auxiliary rotating plate by an elastic body fixed to the inner wall or the like in the housing.

  A plurality of circumferential grooves for storing the claws are provided so as to divide the circumference appropriately, and each circumferential groove is gradually deepened from an inlet portion formed on the plate surface, and a locking portion is provided at the back. When the auxiliary rotating plate is rotated in the paper take-out direction, it is free to rotate because it enters the claw from the engaging portion side of the circumferential groove. Since it will enter from an entrance part when performing reverse rotation, a nail | claw suppresses rotation by a latching | locking part.

  A roll paper holder according to the present invention includes a bevel gear and an end gear that rotate in the same direction as the roll paper shaft, and a helical spring that stores rotational force on a lower shaft disposed in parallel with the roll paper shaft, and this Since it has a gear group for transmitting rotational force to the bevel gear and its attached mechanism, the required length for the picking allowance is automatically set after cutting the roll paper simply by using the axial rotational force by pulling out the roll paper. Can be delivered reliably and reliably.

  The roll paper holder according to claim 2 is provided with an opening and a lid having a paper cutting portion as a triangle, and the arm is pushed in by the lid. An operation for releasing the accumulated force of the coil spring can be performed at the same time.

  Since the roll paper holder according to the third aspect includes the auxiliary rotary plate and the roll paper feed roller, the tip can be reliably fed by operating the rotary plate when the knob portion is insufficient. Further, since the auxiliary rotating plate is provided with a reverse rotation preventing means, it is possible to prevent the picking allowance from being drawn.

  Next, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. 1 is a front view of the roll paper holder, FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view showing a II-II cross section of FIG. 1, and FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view showing a III-III cross section of FIG. The roll paper holder 1 includes a paper outlet 4 for pulling out and cutting the roll paper 3 on the front surface of the housing 2, and opens an auxiliary rotating plate opening 5 on the side thereof.

  The paper outlet 4 has a lid 4b for opening and closing the triangular opening 4a, and a cutting frame 4c having a size matching the triangular opening 4a is projected from the housing 4b. The cutting frame 4c is provided around two sides of a substantially triangular plate 4e attached to the inside of the lid flat plate 4d pivotally supported by the housing 2, and the cutting frame 4c and the edge 4f provided on the triangular opening 4a are The roll paper 3 to be sandwiched when the lid 4b is closed is cut into a triangular shape to form a knob with a configuration in which the ends of each other are in sliding contact.

  The tip of an arm 10d, which will be described later, projects below the triangular opening 4a, but a contact portion 4g for pushing it in is provided at the responding portion of the lid plate 4d.

  Inside the housing 2, a roll paper shaft 6 that penetrates the air core 3 a of the roll paper 3, an upper and lower roller 7 that sandwiches the roll paper 3 and guides the leading end thereof to the paper outlet 4, and the roll paper shaft 6 A lower shaft 8 arranged in parallel, a swing rod 9 connected to the lower shaft 8, and a push / pull means 10 for pulling or pushing the swing rod 9 are provided.

  The roll paper shaft 6 is provided with an elastically deformable roll paper holding portion 6a and its outer surface is in close contact with the inner surface of the air core portion 3a. Therefore, the rotation of the roll paper 3 and the rotation of the roll paper shaft 6 coincide with each other. When the roll paper 3 is pulled out, the roll paper shaft 6 rotates in the direction of the arrow in FIG.

  The roll paper shaft 6 is provided with a belt wheel 11 and an auxiliary rotating plate 12 on the side of the roll paper holding portion 3a. The belt wheel 11 rotates the upper and lower rollers 7 via the belt 11a. The auxiliary rotating plate 12 feeds out the roll paper 3 by rotating a part of the circumference from the opening 5 to the outside of the housing 2 and rotating the picking portion of the roll paper 3 or the like.

  An intermediate wall 13 for inserting and supporting the roll paper shaft 6 is provided laterally on the side of the auxiliary rotating plate 12, and a claw 14 is provided from the upper and lower end portions of the auxiliary rotating plate 12 via the elastic plate 15 and a plate surface 12 a of the auxiliary rotating plate 12. Protrusively so as to abut. The configuration of the auxiliary rotating plate surface is shown in FIG. FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view showing the auxiliary rotating plate in the IV-IV cross section of FIG.

  On the plate surface 12a of the auxiliary rotating plate 12, a plurality of circumferential grooves 12b capable of accommodating the claws 14 are provided so as to appropriately divide the circumferential portion where the claws 14 are arranged. Details of the operation of the circumferential groove 12b and the claw 14 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 5 is a partially enlarged perspective view in the vicinity of the circumferential groove. Each circumferential groove 12b has a shape that is gradually deeper than an inlet portion 12c formed in the plate surface 12a, and a locking portion 12d is provided at the back.

  When the auxiliary rotating plate 12 is rotated in the paper take-out direction that is the arrow direction in FIG. 4, the elastic plate 15 enters the claw 14 that is in sliding contact from the side of the locking portion 12 d of the circumferential groove 12 b. Therefore, rotation is free. When the reverse rotation is performed, the claw 14 is prevented from rotating by the locking portion 12d since the entrance portion 12c is entered. That is, even if the auxiliary rotating plate 12 is rotated in the reverse direction, the auxiliary rotating plate 12 can be rotated only slightly and the pulling portion can be prevented from being pulled.

  A bevel gear 16 and an end gear 17 are attached to the roll paper shaft 6 so as to be rotatable forward and backward, and claw clutches 16a and 17a are attached thereto, respectively. Below the end gear 17, a lower gear 19 that transmits the rotational force is disposed via a middle gear 18. The lower gear 19 is for loosely inserting the lower shaft 8 and is provided with a pawl clutch 20.

  A floating tube 21 is disposed on the lower shaft 8 on the side of the claw clutch 20 of the lower gear 19, and an end outer tube 22 is inserted on the opposite side of the lower gear 19. The floating tube body 21 is provided with a flange 21a that loosely inserts a pin 20a protruding from the claw clutch 20 into the hole portion, and a flange 21b that contacts the inner surface of the outer end flange 22a of the end outer tube 22, A small circular plate 21c and a locking portion 21d are provided at the intermediate portion.

  The lower gear 19 and the floating tube 21 are free from the lower shaft 8, and the floating tube 21 can rotate and move laterally, but the end outer tube 22 is engaged with the swing rod 9. It cannot rotate and can move only in the axial direction with respect to the floating tube 21.

  A small pin 21e projecting from the small disk 21c contacts and separates from the lower bevel gear 23 into which the floating tube 21 is loosely inserted. The small disk 21c and the small pin 21e constitute a laterally movable pawl clutch that controls the rotation of the lower bevel gear 23.

  A saw gear 24 is in close contact with the lower bevel gear 23, and one end of a helical spring 25 is fixed to the face plate. The saw gear 24 is disposed so as to be able to contact and separate from a claw 24 a fixed to the inner surface of the housing 2. Since the other end of the helical spring 25 is fixed to the outer surface of the inner end flange 22b of the end outer tube 22 and only the saw gear 24 is rotatable, rotational force can be stored in the helical spring 25.

  The pushing / pulling means 10 for pulling or pushing the swing rod 9 engaged with the end outer tube 22 is a flat L-shaped lever member 10a for holding the swing rod 9 at its tip, and this lever member. A tension member 10c that urges 10a around a fulcrum 10b and an arm 10d that rotates the insulator 10a in the opposite direction against the tensile force of the tension member 10c are provided.

  Next, the accumulation process of the helical spring at the time of taking out the paper will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 6 is a cross-sectional view of a gear group of a roll paper holder showing a power storage mechanism immediately before paper removal. The bevel gear 16 and the end gear 17 are free from the roll paper shaft 6, and the rotation of these gears is performed by the attached claw clutches 16a, 17a, the lower bevel gear 23 when connected, or the middle gear 18 when rotated. Depends on.

  The claw clutches 16a and 17a are discs 16b and 17b that are in close contact with the bevel gear 16 or the end gear 17, holes 16c and 17c that are drilled in the discs, and claw pins 16d and 17d that are loosely inserted into the holes, respectively. And elastic plates 16e and 17e for urging the claw pins in the respective gear directions.

  The lower gear 19 is free from the lower shaft 8, and the lower bevel gear 23 and the saw gear 24 are free from the floating tube 21. The rotation of the lower gear 19 depends solely on the rotation of the middle gear 18. It is. The lower bevel gear 23 and the saw gear 24 are rotated when the small disc 21c and the small pin 21e, which are laterally movable pawl clutches, are engaged, or when the helical spring 25 releases the accumulated force. Depends on the rotational force.

  Circumferential grooves are formed on the plate surfaces of the gears to lock the pawl clutches. The operation of the pawl clutch will be described with reference to FIGS. 7 to 10 are cross-sectional views showing the planar configuration of each gear in the VII-VII cross section, VIII-VIII cross section, IX-IX cross section, and XX cross section of FIG. 6, respectively.

  As shown in FIG. 7, when the roll paper shaft 6 rotates in the paper take-out direction, the claw clutch 16a also rotates in the direction of the arrow at the same time, and the claw pin 16d also rotates in the same direction. At this time, the claw pin 16d urged by the elastic plate 16e rotates in the direction of the arrow in the drawing while sliding on the surface of the bevel gear 16 as shown in FIG.

  On the plate surface 16f of the bevel gear 16, similar to the auxiliary rotating plate 12, a circumferential groove 16g capable of accommodating the claw pin 16d is provided at a plurality of locations so as to appropriately divide a circumferential portion where the claw pin 16d is disposed. To do. The circumferential groove 16g is also deeper than the inlet portion 16h formed in the plate surface 16f, and a locking portion 16i is provided at the back.

  The circumferential groove 16g of the bevel gear 16 is formed so as to enter from the locking portion 16i side when the claw pin 16d rotates in the paper take-out direction that is the arrow direction in FIG. For this reason, when the roll paper shaft 6 rotates in the paper take-out direction, the bevel gear 16 does not rotate.

  In the end gear 17, as shown in FIG. 9, when the roll paper shaft 6 rotates in the paper take-out direction, the claw clutch 17a also rotates in the direction of the arrow at the same time, and the claw pin 17d also rotates in the same direction. At this time, the claw pin 17d biased by the elastic plate 17e rotates in the direction of the arrow in FIG. 10 while slidingly contacting the surface of the end gear 17 as shown in FIG.

  Similarly, a plurality of circumferential grooves 17g are provided on the plate surface 17f of the end gear 17 as well. When the claw pin 17d rotates in the paper take-out direction, which is the arrow direction in FIG. 10, the circumferential groove 17g of the end gear 17 enters from the inlet portion 17h side and engages with the locking portion 17i at the back. Form with. Therefore, when the roll paper shaft 6 rotates in the paper take-out direction, the end gear 17 rotates in the same direction. At this time, the rotation of the end gear 17 is transmitted to the lower gear 19 via the middle gear 18. The

  A plurality of circumferential grooves 19b having the same configuration are also provided on the plate surface 19a of the lower gear 19. The claw pin 20b of the claw clutch 20 provided is in sliding contact with the circumferential groove 19b. As shown in FIG. 9, the pawl clutch 20 has a disc 20c that is in close contact with the lower gear 19; An elastic plate 20d is provided.

  When the lower gear 19 rotates in the direction of the arrow in FIG. 10, it is formed so as to enter from the inlet 19 c side of the circumferential groove 19 b and engage the claw pin 20 b with the locking portion 19 d at the back. For this reason, when the roll paper shaft 6 rotates in the paper take-out direction, the rotation of the lower gear 19 is transmitted to the claw clutch 20, and a pin 20 a protruding from the claw clutch 20 is further provided on the floating tube 21 as shown in FIG. By pressing the hole of the flange 21a, the floating tubular body 21 is rotated in the direction of the arrow in the figure. At this time, the small disk 21c and the small pin 21e also rotate in the same direction.

  A plurality of circumferential grooves 23 a having the same configuration are also provided on the plate surface of the lower bevel gear 23. The small pin 21e contacts and separates from the circumferential groove 23a, but when the swinging rod 9 is attracted by the action of the tension member 10c, that is, in order to cut the roll paper 3, the lid 4b is closed and pressed. It is always in sliding contact except when the arm 10d is pushed.

  When the small pin 21e rotates in the direction of the arrow in FIG. 8, the circumferential groove 23a of the lower stage bevel gear 23 enters from the inlet 23b side of the circumferential groove 23a, and the small pin 21e is engaged at the locking portion 23c at the back. Form in the matching direction. Therefore, when the roll paper shaft 6 rotates in the paper take-out direction, the rotation is eventually transmitted to the lower bevel gear 23, and the saw gear 24 is further rotated in the direction of the arrow as shown in FIG.

  At this time, the saw gear 24 is in contact with the claw 24a because it is attracted by the action of the swing rod 9 and the push / pull means 10, but it can be rotated because it rotates in the forward direction as shown in FIG. The claw 24a urges a small piece of a shape that can match the sawtooth in the sawtooth direction by an elastic body. When the claw 24a and the sawtooth are engaged with each other, the claw 24a allows rotation only in the paper take-out direction.

  Accordingly, the helical spring 25 also rotates in the same direction, but its tip is fixed to the outer surface of the inner end collar 22b of the end outer tube 22, and the end outer tube 22 is as shown in FIG. Further, the opening 9a of the swing rod 9 to be inserted is also an elliptical shape that can come into contact therewith, so that the rotation is restrained and the rotational force is stored in the helical spring 25.

  Next, the state of the gear group when the accumulating force is applied to the helical spring will be described with reference to FIGS. 11 is a cross-sectional view of the roll paper holder when the accumulating force is applied to the helical spring, and FIG. 12 is the same cross-sectional view as that of FIG. 6, but when the accumulating force is applied to the helical spring. It is sectional drawing of the gear group of this roll paper holder. 11 and 12 is the same as the member configuration shown in FIGS. 3 and 6, and therefore, the same reference numerals are given and detailed description thereof is omitted.

  Since the helical spring 25 stores power while reducing its length by the rotational force when the roll paper 3 is pulled out, the end outer tube 22 slides along the idler tube 21 and is drawn toward the saw gear 24 side. . At this time, the swing rod 9 engaged with the end outer tube 22 also moves to the saw gear 24 side. However, the lever member 10a is supported by the pulling action of the push / pull means 10, and thus the end outer tube 22 is supported. Is in contact with the inner surface of the outer end flange 22a.

  The accumulated release force of the helical spring 25 is a rotational force in the direction opposite to the arrow in FIG. 7, but at this point in time, the claw 24a and the saw gear 24 are engaged with each other so that they do not diverge. Further, since the force acting on the floating tubular body 21 when the helical spring 25 is accumulating is only the rotational force from the lower gear 19 and the pawl clutch 20, no lateral movement occurs.

  Further, when the helical spring 25 is contracted, a pulling force acts on both the end outer tube 22 side and the saw gear 24 side. However, the end outer tube 22 is combined with the respective weights and various engaging forces. Set to only slide.

  Next, the state of the gear group when the roll paper is cut will be described with reference to FIGS. 13 is the same cross section as FIG. 3, but is a cross-sectional view of the roll paper holder when the lid is closed and pressed and the arm is pushed in. FIG. 14 is the same cross section as FIG. It is sectional drawing of the gear group of a roll paper holder when pushing in. In FIGS. 13 and 14, the same reference numerals as those in FIGS. 3 and 6 are used for the respective members, and detailed description thereof is omitted.

  When the roll paper 3 is taken out from the paper outlet 4 and the lid is closed and pressed to cut, when the arm 10d of the push-pull means 10 is pushed in, the flat L-shaped insulator material 10a connected to the arm 10d becomes the tension member 10c. It rotates around the fulcrum 10b against the tensile force. Along with this, the swing rod 9 pivotally supporting the lower end tilts the upper end toward the winding spring 25 and presses the inner surface of the inner end flange 22 b of the end outer tube 22.

  At this time, the saw gear 24 and the lower stage bevel gear 23 are moved laterally to realize the meshing of the bevel gears, and the details will be described with reference to FIGS. 15 and 16. FIG. 15 is an enlarged cross-sectional view of the gear group on the lower shaft at the start of arm pushing, and FIG. 16 is an enlarged cross-sectional view of the gear group on the lower shaft at the time of completion of arm pushing.

  As described above, at the time of accumulating the helical spring 25, the end outer tube 22 slides along the idler tube 21 and is drawn toward the saw gear 24, but the swing rod 9 is connected to the end outer tube 22. Is in contact with the inner surface of the outer end flange 22a. At this time, since the floating tube 21 is not laterally moved, the small pin 21e protruding from the small disk 21c is still engaged with the circumferential groove 23a of the lower bevel gear 23. At this time, the claw 24a and the saw gear 24 mesh with each other, so that no rotation occurs.

  As shown in FIG. 16, when the lever member 10a of the push-pull means 10 tilts the swing rod 9 toward the coil spring 25, the inner surface of the inner end rod 22b of the end outer tube 22 is pressed, and the saw gear is driven by that force. 24 and the lower stage bevel gear 23 are moved laterally to realize meshing of the bevel gears. At the same time, the meshing of the saw gear 24 and the claw 24a is released.

  However, the position of the flange 21b of the floating tubular body 21 at this point is as shown by a two-dot chain line in FIG. 16, and at this stage, the small pin 21e is still engaged with the circumferential groove 23a of the lower stage bevel gear 23. . When the swinging rod 9 further presses the inner surface of the inner end rod 22b of the end outer tube 22 through the insulator 10a, the helical spring 25 is contracted to protrude from the intermediate portion of the floating tube 21 while being reduced. In contact with the portion 21d, this time, only the floating tube 21 is moved laterally in a direction away from the lower bevel gear 23.

  At this time, the small disk 21c projecting from the small pin 21e also moves laterally, so that the engagement between the small pin 21e and the circumferential groove 23a is released. For this reason, the bevel gear 16 becomes a single connection, the accumulating force of the helical spring 25 is released, and the lower bevel gear 23 having a free structure with respect to the floating tubular body 21 rotates the meshing bevel gear 16 in the paper take-out direction. It becomes possible to make it. Since the floating tubular body 21 has a pin 20a projecting from the claw clutch 20 inserted through the flange 21a, it moves along the claw clutch 20 side.

  As shown in FIG. 14, the bevel gear 16 that has been rotated by releasing the accumulated power of the lower bevel gear 23 rotates the circumferential groove 16g while sliding the tip of the claw pin 16d of the claw clutch 16a on the plate surface 16f. As described with reference to the plan view of the gear of FIG. 8, when the bevel gear 16 enters the claw pin 16d from the inlet portion 16h side, it is held by the locking portion 16i. 16a rotates. That is, the rotational force when the stored force is released is transmitted to the roll paper shaft 6, and the knob after cutting the roll paper 3 is automatically sent out according to the rotational force of the helical spring 25 as shown in FIG.

  At this time, since the roll paper shaft 6 rotates in the paper take-out direction, the end gear 17, the intermediate gear 18, the lower gear 19, and the idler tube 21 also rotate in the same direction. Since the engagement with the circumferential groove 23a is disengaged and the lower stage bevel gear 23 has a free structure with respect to the floating tubular body 21, mutual rotation is not hindered.

  The operation of the saw gear 24 and the lower stage bevel gear 23 after cutting the roll paper 3 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 18 is an enlarged cross-sectional view of the gear group on the lower shaft after the paper cutting is completed. By closing and pressing the lid, the accumulated force of the helical spring 25 is released, the saw gear 24 is rotated in the reverse direction, and the helical spring 25 is extended to push the end outer tube 22 back outward.

  Further, the arm 10d of the push-pull means 10 returns to the original position, and the tension force of the tension member 10c is dominant on the insulator material 10a. Is in contact with the inner surface of the outer end flange 22a of the end outer tube 22. Due to the restoring force, the end outer tube 22 presses the flange 21b of the floating tube 21 to move the floating tube 21 laterally. As a result, the small disk 21 c and the small pin 21 e are moved laterally, and the small pin 21 e engages and presses against the circumferential groove 23 a of the lower bevel gear 23.

  Accordingly, the floating tubular body 21, the end outer tube 22, the helical spring 25, the saw gear 24, and the lower stage bevel gear 23 are laterally moved to the initial positions apart from the bevel gear 16, and the saw gear 24 is in contact with the claw 24a. become. By simply pulling out the roll paper by the configuration and action of the series of gear groups as described above and cutting the roll paper, it is possible to continuously feed out the next knob part continuously.
