Utility Model Registration No. 3213284

By the way, in the above-mentioned paper holder, when cutting the toilet paper by the cutting portion, it is necessary to cut the toilet paper while pressing the toilet paper from above by using the cover portion in order to prevent the toilet paper from slipping. In this case, since it is necessary to hold the toilet paper with one hand and hold the toilet paper with the other hand, it is necessary to use both hands when cutting the toilet paper.

However, it can be said that it is not preferable from the viewpoint of usability of the paper holder that both hands must be used for cutting the toilet paper. Therefore, it can be said that the conventional paper holder still has room for improvement in that respect.

Further, such a problem of usability is a problem that can occur not only in a holder for toilet paper but also in other paper holders such as a holder for kitchen paper. Furthermore, it can be said that this is a problem that can occur not only in the holder for paper but also in the holder in which a long sheet is wound in a roll shape and supports the sheet roll in general.

The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to provide a sheet holder capable of performing a sheet cutting operation with one hand.

In order to solve the above problems, the seat holder of the first invention has a support portion for supporting a sheet roll in which a long sheet is wound in a cylindrical shape in a rotatable state, and the sheet holder pulled out from the sheet roll. When the cut portion for cutting the sheet and the sheet pulled out from the sheet roll are brought into contact with the cut portion, the sheet comes into contact with the intermediate portion between the sheet roll and the cut portion. It is provided at a position and includes a non-slip portion that suppresses the slip of the sheet in the contact state.

According to the present invention, when a sheet pulled out from a sheet roll is brought into contact with a cut portion, the sheet can be brought into contact with a non-slip portion in an intermediate portion between the sheet roll and the cut portion. In this case, when the sheet is cut by the cutting portion, the sheet can be brought into contact with the non-slip portion to suppress the slip of the sheet. Therefore, when cutting the sheet, it is not necessary to hold the sheet with a hand other than the hand holding the sheet. This makes it possible to perform the work of cutting the sheet with one hand.

In the seat holder of the second invention, in the first invention, the non-slip portion has an elastomer formed a contact surface with which the sheet is in contact.

According to the present invention, since the contact surface to which the sheet comes into contact with the non-slip portion is formed by the elastomer, the slip of the sheet can be suitably suppressed.

In the first invention, the seat holder of the third invention includes a plurality of protrusions in the non-slip portion.

According to the present invention, since the non-slip portion includes a plurality of protrusions, slippage of the sheet can be suitably suppressed.

In any one of the first to third inventions, the seat holder of the fourth invention has a shaft portion inserted inside the sheet roll, and the support portion abuts on the sheet at the non-slip portion. The portion is a contact portion, and the side facing the contact portion in the direction intersecting the direction in which the shaft portion and the cutting portion are lined up when viewed from the axial direction of the shaft portion is the first side, and the first side thereof. Is located on the first side of the shaft portion on the first side of the shaft portion and on the first side of the cutting portion when the opposite side is the second side. positioned.

According to the present invention, when the sheet is cut by the cutting portion in a state where the sheet is in contact with the contact portion of the non-slip portion, the sheet has a V shape with the contact portion as the apex. In this case, since the sheet can be strongly pressed against the non-slip portion, it is possible to easily suppress the slip of the sheet.

In any one of the first to fourth inventions, the seat holder of the fifth invention is a shaft portion inserted into the inside of the sheet roll, and the cut portion and the non-slip portion are When viewed from the axial direction of the shaft portion, the cut portion and the shaft portion are arranged at different positions in a direction intersecting the line-up direction.

According to the present invention, the cut portion and the non-slip portion can be separated from each other relatively large. In this case, after the drawer portion of the sheet pulled out from the sheet roll is cut by the cutting portion, the drawer portion can be left for a certain length. Therefore, next, when the sheet is pulled out by holding the drawer portion, the sheet can be easily pulled out.

In the seat holder of the sixth invention, in any one of the first to fifth inventions, the non-slip portion and the cut portion are integrally molded by an elastomer.

According to the present invention, since the non-slip portion and the cut portion are integrally molded, advantages such as reduction in the number of parts can be obtained as compared with the case where each of these portions is individually formed. Further, since the non-slip portion and the cut portion are formed by an elastomer, the slip of the sheet can be suitably suppressed in the non-slip portion, and pain or the like is suppressed when the cut portion is touched by a hand. be able to.

In any one of the first to sixth inventions, the seat holder of the seventh invention includes a cover portion that covers the seat roll from above.

According to the present invention, since the cover portion is provided above the seat roll, the drawer portion of the sheet pulled out from the seat roll can be placed on the cover portion. In this case, since the drawer portion of the sheet can be held and folded with one hand, when the sheet is folded and then cut at the cutting portion, the series of operations can be performed with one hand.

In the seventh aspect of the invention, the seat holder of the eighth invention is formed with an opening for exposing the sheet roll in the cover portion.

According to the present invention, the sheet can be pulled out by rotating the sheet roll through the opening formed in the cover portion. As a result, when the drawer portion of the sheet is short and it is difficult to grasp the sheet, the sheet can be pulled out by rotating the sheet roll as described above.

In the seventh or eighth invention, the seat holder of the ninth invention is a shaft portion that is inserted into the inside of the seat roll, extends from one end of the shaft portion, and is a predetermined mounting object. The cut portion and the non-slip portion are integrally provided on the cover portion, and the cover portion is provided with a pair of mounting portions mounted on both ends of the shaft portion from above. A mounting portion and a locking portion for locking the cover portion with respect to the shaft portion are provided in a state where the mounting portions are mounted on both end sides of the shaft portion.

According to the present invention, the seat holder can be attached to a predetermined attachment target (for example, a portable toilet) by using the attachment portion extending from one end of the shaft portion. Here, in such a configuration, the direction of the cover portion, and by extension, the orientation of the cut portion and the non-slip portion integrally provided on the cover portion change depending on which side the mounting portion is attached to from the left or right side. Can be considered. Therefore, when the mounting direction of the mounting portion is changed, it is considered that the work of changing the orientation of the cover portion is required accordingly.

Therefore, in view of these points, in the present invention, the cover portion is covered with a pair of mounting portions mounted on both end sides of the shaft portion from above and a state in which the mounting portions are mounted on both end sides of the shaft portion. A lock portion is provided to lock the portion with respect to the shaft portion. In this case, when changing the orientation of the cover portion and setting the cover portion in a new orientation, each mounting portion of the cover portion is placed on both end sides of the shaft portion from above, and the cover portion is locked to the shaft portion in that state. It can be set by locking it with a part. This makes it possible to perform the work of setting the cover portion in a new orientation with one hand.

Hereinafter, an embodiment embodying the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In the present embodiment, the seat holder of the present invention is embodied as a holder for toilet paper, that is, a toilet paper holder. Further, in particular, in the present embodiment, it is embodied as a toilet paper holder that can be attached to a portable toilet. Hereinafter, the configuration of the toilet paper holder will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 5. Note that FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the toilet paper holder as viewed from diagonally above. FIG. 2 is an exploded perspective view showing the toilet paper holder in a disassembled state. FIG. 3 is a perspective view of the toilet paper holder as viewed diagonally from above. FIG. 4 is a perspective view of the toilet paper holder viewed from diagonally forward and downward. 5A and 5B are a cross-sectional view showing a toilet paper holder in FIG. 5A, and FIG. 5B is an enlarged cross-sectional view showing the inside of the A frame of FIG. 5 in an enlarged manner. Note that FIG. 5A is a cross-sectional view of the toilet paper holder cut along a plane orthogonal to the shaft portion thereof.

As shown in FIGS. 1 to 5, the toilet paper holder 10 includes a shaft portion 11 that supports the toilet paper roll 15 (hereinafter, abbreviated as the toilet roll 15) in which the toilet paper 16 is wound in a cylindrical shape (roll shape). A cover portion 12 that covers the toilet roll 15 from above, and a cutting portion 13 for cutting the toilet paper 16 drawn from the toilet roll 15 are provided. In this case, the toilet paper holder 10 corresponds to the seat holder, and the shaft portion 11 corresponds to the support portion.

As the toilet roll 15, a cored type in which the toilet paper 16 is wound around a cylindrical winding core 17 is used. In this case, the toilet roll 15 corresponds to the seat roll and the toilet paper 16 corresponds to the seat. Further, as the toilet roll 15, it is not always necessary to use a cored type, and a coreless type having no winding core may be used.

The shaft portion 11 is made of a resin material and is inserted inside the winding core 17 of the toilet roll 15. In this case, the toilet roll 15 is rotatably supported by the shaft portion 11. Specifically, the shaft portion 11 has a U-shaped cross section (specifically, a cross section orthogonal to the longitudinal direction of the shaft portion 11), and the arc portion is arranged so as to be convex upward. Then, the toilet roll 15 is supported by the shaft portion 11 in a state where the winding core 17 is placed on the arc portion of the shaft portion 11.

In the following description, the longitudinal direction (axis direction) of the shaft portion 11 is referred to as a left-right direction, and the direction in which the shaft portion 11 and the cut portion 13 are aligned is referred to as a front-rear direction. Further, the cut portion 13 side in the front-rear direction is referred to as a front side, and the opposite side is referred to as a rear side.

The shaft portion 11 is provided with stoppers 21 and 22, respectively, at both ends in the longitudinal direction thereof. These stoppers 21 and 22 have a plate shape that extends in a direction orthogonal to the longitudinal direction of the shaft portion 11. Of the stoppers 21 and 22, the stopper 21 has a rectangular shape, and the stopper 22 has a semicircular shape. When the toilet roll 15 is supported by the shaft portion 11, the toilet roll 15 is arranged between the stoppers 21 and 22. This regulates the displacement of the toilet roll 15 to the left and right.

The stoppers 21 and 22 project at least upward from the shaft portion 11. In this case, the protrusion height from the shaft portion 11 is lower in the stopper 22 than in the stopper 21. As a result, when the toilet roll 15 is set inside the toilet roll 15 through the shaft portion 11, the toilet roll 15 can be set from the stopper 22 side.

The shaft portion 11 is provided with a mounting portion 25 that can be mounted on a portable toilet 66 (corresponding to a predetermined mounting target) at one end in the longitudinal direction thereof. The mounting portion 25 is provided at the end portion on the side where the stopper 21 is provided, and is integrally formed with the shaft portion 11. The mounting portion 25 has an arm portion 26 extending from the one end portion of the shaft portion 11 and a holding portion 27 provided at the tip end portion of the arm portion 26. The arm portion 26 extends in the longitudinal direction of the shaft portion 11 toward a side away from the shaft portion 11, and more specifically, extends diagonally downward from the shaft portion 11. In this case, in a plan view, the shaft portion 11 and the arm portion 26 (mounting portion 25) extend in a straight line in the same direction.

The holding portion 27 is formed so that the armrest support 68 (see FIG. 7) provided in the portable toilet 66 can be held. The sandwiching portion 27 is formed in a C-shaped cross section extending vertically, and the opening portion is arranged so as to face one side in the front-rear direction. By sandwiching the armrest column 68 of the portable toilet 66 by the sandwiching portion 27, the mounting portion 25 and thus the toilet paper holder 10 can be detachably attached to the armrest column 68.

The cover portion 12 is made of a resin material and has an upper cover portion 31 that covers the toilet roll 15 from above, and a pair of side cover portions 32 that cover both the left and right side surfaces of the toilet roll 15.

The upper cover portion 31 has an arc plate shape that extends in the left-right direction and is convex upward. Specifically, the upper cover portion 31 has a semicircular arc plate shape centered on the shaft portion 11. As a result, the upper cover portion 31 is arranged along the outer peripheral surface of the toilet roll 15. The upper cover portion 31 has a front side portion 31b extending forward from the top portion 31a, which is the upper end portion thereof, and a rear side portion 31c extending rearward from the top portion 31a. Both the front side portion 31b and the rear side portion 31c are curved in an arc shape so as to be located downward so as to be separated from the top portion 31a, and the lower end portions of the respective lower end portions are located at the same height.

Each side cover portion 32 has a substantially semicircular plate shape. Each side cover portion 32 is arranged at both ends in the left-right direction of the upper cover portion 31.

An opening 33 is formed in the front side portion 31b of the upper cover portion 31. The opening 33 is formed in the central portion of the upper cover portion 31 in the left-right direction, and penetrates the upper cover portion 31 in the thickness direction. In this case, the toilet roll 15 is exposed to the outside through the opening 33. The opening 33 is formed in a size capable of inserting a user's finger, and has an elongated hole shape extending in the arc direction (in other words, the rotation direction of the toilet roll 15) of the upper cover portion 31. This makes it possible to rotate the toilet roll 15 through the opening 33. The opening 33 corresponds to the "opening" described in the claims.

The size of the opening 33 may be arbitrary as long as a finger can be inserted into the opening 33 to rotate the toilet roll 15. However, in order to facilitate the rotation of the toilet roll 15, it is desirable that the length dimension of the opening 33 is 60 mm or more and the width dimension of the opening 33 is 30 mm or more.

The upper cover portion 31 is provided with a plate-shaped extension plate portion 35 that extends forward toward the front side portion 31b. The extension plate portion 35 extends from a position below the opening 33 in the front side portion 31b, and extends over the entire left-right direction of the upper cover portion 31.

The upper cover portion 31 is provided with an extending portion 36 extending horizontally from the vicinity of the top portion 31a toward the rear. The extending portion 36 has a plate shape and is arranged at the center portion in the left-right direction of the upper cover portion 31. The extending portion 36 is formed with a through hole 37 for passing a wire rod such as a string or a rope. The toilet paper holder 10 of the present embodiment can be attached to the portable toilet 66 by using the attachment portion 25, and can be attached to a bed or the like by using a wire rod passed through the through hole 37.

Further, a through hole 38 for passing a wire rod is also formed in the rear side portion 31c of the upper cover portion 31. A pair of through holes 38 are formed on the left and right on the lower end side of the rear portion 31c. Therefore, in this toilet paper holder 10, it is possible to attach with a wire rod using three through holes 37 and 38. Further, a substantially rectangular opening 39 is further formed in the rear side portion 31c. The opening 39 is wider to the left and right than the opening 33 of the front side portion 31b, and is used when passing a wire rod through the through holes 37 and 38.

Here, in the toilet paper holder 10, the cover portion 12 is detachably attached to the shaft portion 11. Therefore, in the following, the configuration relating to the attachment of the cover portion 12 to the shaft portion 11 will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 4 and FIG. FIG. 6 is a perspective view showing the toilet paper holder 10 in both (a) and (b), and shows a state in which the lock member 47, which will be described later, is in the open position. Note that, in FIG. 6A, the toilet paper holder 10 is viewed from the same direction as in FIG. 1, and in FIG. 6B, the toilet paper holder 10 is viewed from the same direction as in FIG.

As shown in FIGS. 1 to 4 and 6, each side cover portion 32 of the cover portion 12 is provided with an overhanging portion 41 projecting to the outer surface side. Each overhanging portion 41 is formed with an insertion portion 42 into which the stoppers 21 and 22 of the shaft portion 11 are inserted (see also FIG. 8). It is possible to insert the stoppers 21 and 22 into these insertion portions 42, respectively.

Specifically explaining the configuration of the overhanging portion 41, the side cover portion 32 is formed with a rectangular opening 43 having an open lower side at a position corresponding to the overhanging portion 41. The overhanging portion 41 straddles a plurality of plate portions 41a that extend shortly from each side edge portion and the upper edge portion of the opening 43 in the side cover portion 32 to the overhanging side of the overhanging portion 41, and each plate portion 41a. It has a plate portion 41b parallel to the side cover portion 32. Further, the plate portion 41b is formed with a rectangular notch 44 whose lower side is open.

The concave insertion portion 42 extending vertically is formed inside the overhanging portion 41 surrounded by the plate portions 41a and 41b. The insertion portion 42 is opened inside the cover portion 12 and is opened downward. As a result, the stoppers 21 and 22 can be inserted into the insertion portion 42 from below.

Next, the configuration on the shaft portion 11 side will be described. Each of the stoppers 21 and 22 of the shaft portion 11 is provided with a raised portion 45 that is raised on the outer surface side thereof. Each raised portion 45 has a plate shape that overlaps the outer surface of the stoppers 21 and 22. The raised portion 45 is a portion arranged in the cutout portion 44 of the overhanging portion 41, and is formed according to the shape and size of the cutout portion 44. Further, each raised portion 45 is formed with an insertion hole 46 into which a protruding portion 52 of the lock member 47, which will be described later, is inserted. Of the insertion holes 46, the insertion hole 46 on the stopper 22 side has a notch shape with the lower side open. Therefore, although the insertion holes 46 have different shapes, they are the same in that the protrusions 52 are inserted, and therefore, the insertion holes 46 are designated by the same reference numerals.

The cover portion 12 is arranged in a state where the stoppers 21 and 22 are inserted into the insertion portions 42 provided in the overhanging portions 41, respectively. In this case, the raised portions 45 of the stoppers 21 and 22 are arranged in the cutout portions 44 of each overhanging portion 41, and the plate portion 41b of the overhanging portion 41 is placed on each of the raised portions 45. It has become. Therefore, the cover portion 12 is arranged so that each of the overhanging portions 41 is placed on the raised portion 45. In this case, each overhanging portion 41 corresponds to a mounting portion, and each raised portion 45 corresponds to a mounting portion.

The cover portion 12 is provided with a lock member 47 on the outside of each overhanging portion 41. Each lock member 47 is for locking and unlocking the cover portion 12 with respect to the shaft portion 11, and has a plate shape that covers the overhanging portion 41 from the outside. Each lock member 47 corresponds to a lock portion.

The lock member 47 is provided with a shaft portion 48 extending back and forth at the upper end portion thereof. The lock member 47 is rotatably attached to the overhanging portion 41 via its shaft portion 48. The lock member 47 has a closed position that covers the overhanging portion 41 (see FIGS. 1 and 3) and an open position that opens outward from the closed position (see FIGS. 6 and 8) due to its rotation. It can be opened and closed between. Further, the lock member 47 is configured to rub against the overhanging portion 41 at the open position, and is held at the open position by rubbing against the overhanging portion 41.

The lock member 47 is provided with a finger hook portion 51 on its surface. The finger hook portion 51 is a horizontally long ridge portion, and a finger can be hooked when opening and closing the lock member 47. Further, the lock member 47 is provided with a columnar protrusion 52 and a pair of claws 53 on the back surface side thereof. When the lock member 47 is arranged in the closed position, each claw portion 53 is engaged with the lower end portion of the overhanging portion 41, and the lock member 47 is held in the closed position by the engagement.

Further, in the state where the lock member 47 is arranged in the closed position, the protrusion 52 is inserted into the insertion hole 46 on the shaft portion 11 side. In this case, the protrusion 52 is engaged with the insertion hole 46, and the engagement causes the lock member 47, and thus the cover portion 12 to which the lock member 47 is attached, to be displaced upward with respect to the shaft portion 11. Be regulated. Therefore, in this case, the cover portion 12 is locked with respect to the shaft portion 11.

On the other hand, when the engagement of the claw portion 53 with the overhanging portion 41 is released and the lock member 47 is arranged at the open position, the protrusion 52 is disengaged from the insertion hole 46, and the protrusion 52 is engaged with the insertion hole 46. It will be released. In this case, the locked state of the cover portion 12 with respect to the shaft portion 11 is released, and the cover portion 12 can be lifted upward with respect to the shaft portion 11. Therefore, in this unlocked state, the cover portion 12 can be removed from the shaft portion 11.

As described above, in the toilet paper holder 10, the cover portion 12 can be locked and unlocked with respect to the shaft portion 11 by using the lock member 47. As a result, the cover portion 12 can be detachably attached to the shaft portion 11. Further, in such a configuration, when a new toilet roll 15 is set on the shaft portion 11, the cover portion 12 is removed from the shaft portion 11 and the toilet roll 15 is set.

Subsequently, the configuration relating to the cutting portion 13 will be described.

As shown in FIGS. 1 to 5, the cover portion 12 is provided with a constituent member 61 constituting the cutting portion 13. The component 61 is attached to the lower surface of the extension plate portion 35 of the cover portion 12. The component 61 is formed of an elastic elastomer, more specifically a thermoplastic elastomer. The component 61 extends in the longitudinal direction of the shaft portion 11, that is, in the left-right direction, and its length is substantially the same as the length of the cover portion 12 in the left-right direction.

The component 61 is formed in a plate shape as a whole, and has a fixing plate portion 61a fixed to the lower surface of the extension plate portion 35 with an adhesive or the like, and a front plate portion 61b extending downward from the front end portion of the fixing plate portion 61a. It has a rear plate portion 61c extending downward from the rear end portion of the fixing plate portion 61a (see particularly FIG. 5B). Each of these plate portions 61a to 61c extends along the longitudinal direction of the component member 61.

A cut portion 13 is formed at the lower edge portion of the front plate portion 61b. The cut portion 13 is formed in a saw blade shape along the lower edge portion of the front plate portion 61b, and extends to the left and right over the entire lower edge portion of the front plate portion 61b. Specifically, the cut portion 13 is curved so as to be convex upward when viewed from the front, and more specifically, the cut portion 13 is curved so as to be symmetrical. In this case, when the toilet paper 16 is cut by the cutting portion 13, it is easy to cut the toilet paper 16 from the end side to the center side in the width direction.

The cut portion 13 does not necessarily have to have a curved shape that is convex upward, and may have a curved shape that is convex downward, or may have a linear shape without being curved.

In addition to the cutting portion 13 described above, the component 61 is provided with a non-slip portion 65 for suppressing the slip of the toilet paper 16 when the toilet paper 16 is cut by the cutting portion 13. Therefore, the configuration of the non-slip portion 65 will be described below.

In addition to the above-mentioned plate portions 61a to 61c, the component member 61 further includes a lower plate portion 61d extending rearward from the lower end portion of the rear plate portion 61c. The lower plate portion 61d extends in the left-right direction along the lower end portion of the rear plate portion 61c, and more specifically, extends over the entire lower end portion of the rear plate portion 61c. The lower plate portion 61d is in contact with the lower end portion of the front side portion 31b of the upper cover portion 31 of the cover portion 12 from below. Although the lower plate portion 61d is not fixed to the front side portion 31b, it may be fixed to the front side portion 31b.

Further, the constituent member 61 further has a pair of side plate portions 61e at both ends in the longitudinal direction thereof. These side plate portions 61e are provided so as to straddle the plate portions 61a to 61d, and the plate portions 61a to 61d are connected to each other. Further, each side plate portion 61e protrudes slightly upward from each plate portion 61a to 61c, and the extension plate portion 35 is arranged between the projecting portions of each side plate portion 61e.

In the component 61, the non-slip portion 65 is formed by the lower plate portion 61d. Therefore, in addition to the cutting portion 13, the non-slip portion 65 is integrally formed on the constituent member 61. The non-slip portion 65 is located behind the cutting portion 13 and in front of the shaft portion 11. That is, the non-slip portion 65 is located between the cut portion 13 and the shaft portion 11 in the line-up direction (front-rear direction) between the cut portion 13 and the shaft portion 11.

The lower surface of the non-slip portion 65 is a contact surface 65a with which the toilet paper 16 abuts. The contact surface 65a is a flat surface extending in the left-right direction. In the non-slip portion 65, the toilet paper 16 is brought into contact with the contact surface 65a to suppress the slip of the toilet paper 16. The contact surface 65a corresponds to the contact portion.

When viewed from the axial direction of the shaft portion 11, the contact surface 65a faces downward in a direction (vertical direction) orthogonal to the alignment direction (front-back direction) in which the shaft portion 11 and the cutting portion 13 are aligned. Therefore, in this case, the lower side facing the contact surface 65a corresponds to the first side, and the upper side opposite to the contact surface 65a corresponds to the second side. Further, the contact surface 65a is located below the cutting portion 13 in the vertical direction, and more specifically, is located below the lower end portion of the cutting portion 13. Further, the contact surface 65a is located below the shaft portion 11, and more specifically, is located below the lower end portion of the shaft portion 11.

Subsequently, a method of using the toilet paper holder 10 described above will be described. Here, as a user, a hemiplegic user who can move only one hand is assumed. Then, it is assumed that the user cuts the toilet paper 16 by using the cutting portion 13 of the toilet paper holder 10.

As shown in FIG. 5B, when the toilet paper 16 is cut by the cutting portion 13, the toilet paper 16 is first pulled out from the toilet roll 15 by a desired length. In FIG. 5B, the drawn-out portion 16a of the pulled-out toilet paper 16 is shown by a chain double-dashed line. Normally, when pulling out the toilet paper 16, the toilet paper 16 is pulled out while being folded. However, hemiplegic users cannot use both hands, which makes it extremely difficult to pull out while folding.

In that respect, according to the present toilet paper holder 10, since the cover portion 12 is provided, the drawer portion 16a of the toilet paper 16 can be placed on the cover portion 12. Therefore, it is possible to fold the drawer portion 16a with one hand while the drawer portion 16a is placed on the cover portion 12.

After the drawer portion 16a is folded, the work of cutting the drawer portion 16a by the cutting portion 13 is performed. In this cutting operation, first, the drawer portion 16a is brought into contact with the contact surface 65a of the non-slip portion 65 at the intermediate portion between the toilet roll 15 and the cutting portion 13. Specifically, at this time, while pulling the drawer portion 16a upward, the drawer portion 16a is pressed against the contact surface 65a to bring it into contact with the contact surface 65a. As a result, the sliding of the drawer portion 16a with respect to the non-slip portion 65 is suppressed.

After that, the drawer portion 16a is cut by the cutting portion 13 in a state where the sliding of the drawer portion 16a is suppressed. In this case, since the sliding of the drawer portion 16a is suppressed, it is not necessary to hold the drawer portion 16a so as not to slip with a hand other than the hand holding the drawer portion 16a at the time of cutting. Therefore, the work of cutting the drawer portion 16a can be performed with one hand.

As described above, according to the present toilet paper holder 10, it is possible to perform a series of operations at the time of cutting, that is, folding the toilet paper 16 and then cutting the toilet paper 16 with one hand. Therefore, it can be extremely convenient for hemiplegic users.

Subsequently, an installation example in which the toilet paper holder 10 is attached to the portable toilet 66 will be described with reference to FIG. 7. FIG. 7 is a perspective view showing a state in which the toilet paper holder 10 is attached to the portable toilet 66.

As shown in FIG. 7A, the portable toilet 66 is provided with a pair of left and right armrests 67, and armrest columns 68 for supporting the armrests 67 are provided below each of the armrests 67. In the example of FIG. 7A, the toilet paper holder 10 is attached to the armrest support column 68, and more specifically, the toilet paper holder 10 is attached to the armrest support column 68 on the right front side.

The toilet paper holder 10 is attached to the armrest support 68 by sandwiching the armrest support 68 by the holding portion 27 of the attachment portion 25. In this case, the toilet paper holder 10 is attached so as to project to the right from the armrest support 68, and the component 61 having the cutting portion 13 and the non-slip portion 65 faces rearward. In such an attached state, the user can cut the toilet paper 16 at the cutting portion 13 using his right hand. Therefore, for example, when the user is in a hemiplegic state where only the right hand can be used, the toilet paper holder 10 is attached in such an attached state.

On the other hand, for example, when the user is in a hemiplegic state where only the left hand can be used, as shown in FIG. 7B, the toilet paper holder 10 is attached to the armrest support 68 on the left side of the portable toilet 66. Become. Specifically, in this case, the toilet paper holder 10 is attached to the armrest support 68 on the left front side for use. In such an attached state, the toilet paper holder 10 is attached so as to project to the left from the armrest support 68, and the component 61 is oriented to the rear. As described above, according to the present toilet paper holder 10, it is possible to change the mounting direction of the toilet paper holder 10 to the left or right according to the user.

Next, a work flow when changing the toilet paper holder 10 from the right side mounting state shown in FIG. 7 (a) to the left side mounting state shown in FIG. 7 (b) will be described with reference to FIG. Note that FIG. 8 is a perspective view for explaining the flow of such work.

When changing the mounting state, first, the toilet paper holder 10 is removed from the armrest support 68 on the right side and attached to the armrest support 68 on the left side. In this case, the toilet paper holder 10 is attached to the armrest support 68 in a direction protruding to the left. By this attachment, the component 61 is arranged so as to face forward.

Subsequently, the work of changing the orientation of the cover portion 12 so that the constituent member 61 faces rearward is performed. In this work, first, each lock member 47 provided on the cover portion 12 is moved from the closed position to the open position, and the lock state of the cover portion 12 with respect to the shaft portion 11 by the lock member 47 is released. In this unlocked state, each lock member 47 is held in the open position.

After unlocking, as shown in FIG. 8A, the cover portion 12 is lifted upward with respect to the shaft portion 11. Then, as shown in FIG. 8B, the direction of the cover portion 12 is changed so that the component member 61 faces the rear, and the cover portion 12 is set with respect to the shaft portion 11 in the new direction.

When setting the cover portion 12 on the shaft portion 11, first, each overhanging portion 41 of the cover portion 12 is placed on the raised portion 45 of the shaft portion 11. At the time of this placement, each overhanging portion 41 is placed on the raised portion 45 while inserting the stoppers 21 and 22 into the insertion portion 42 of each overhanging portion 41 from below. Subsequently, in the mounted state, each lock member 47 is moved from the open position to the closed position. As a result, the cover portion 12 is locked to the shaft portion 11 by each of the lock members 47.

As described above, the toilet paper holder 10 is attached to the armrest support column 68 in the state of being attached to the left side as shown in FIG. 7 (b). Further, according to the above work, when the cover portion 12 is set in a new direction with respect to the shaft portion 11, the protruding portions 41 of the cover portion 12 are provided on both end sides of the shaft portion 11. The cover portion 12 can be locked to the shaft portion 11 by using the lock member 47 while placing the cover portion on the top. Therefore, the work of setting the cover portion 12 in a new orientation can be performed with one hand.

According to the configuration of the present embodiment described in detail above, the following excellent effects can be obtained.

The contact surface 65a to which the toilet paper 16 is in contact with the non-slip portion 65 is formed by an elastomer. Since the elastomer is a material having a large frictional resistance, in this case, the slip of the toilet paper 16 can be suitably suppressed.

In the configuration in which the contact surface 65a of the non-slip portion 65 faces downward, the contact surface 65a is positioned below the upper end portion of the shaft portion 11 and below the cutting portion 13. In this case, when the toilet paper 16 is cut by the cutting portion 13 in a state where the toilet paper 16 is in contact with the contact surface 65a of the non-slip portion 65, the toilet paper 16 has a V shape with the contact portion as the apex. It is said to be a shape. Therefore, the toilet paper 16 can be strongly pressed against the non-slip portion 65, and as a result, the slip of the toilet paper 16 can be easily suppressed. Further, in this case, even if the remaining amount of the toilet paper 16 is low, the toilet paper 16 can be formed into a V shape when the toilet paper 16 is cut, so that the above effect can be obtained regardless of the remaining amount of the toilet paper 16. Obtainable.

In addition to separating the cut portion 13 and the non-slip portion 65 in the front-rear direction (that is, the direction in which the cut portion 13 and the shaft portion 11 are aligned), they are arranged at different positions in the vertical direction. In this case, since the cut portion 13 and the non-slip portion 65 can be separated relatively large, after the drawer portion 16a of the toilet paper 16 is cut by the cut portion 13, the drawer portion 16a may be left for a certain length. it can. Therefore, next, when the toilet paper 16 is pulled out by holding the drawer portion 16a, the toilet paper 16 can be easily pulled out.

Since the non-slip portion 65 and the cut portion 13 are integrally formed, advantages such as a reduction in the number of parts can be obtained as compared with the case where the respective portions 13 and 65 are individually formed. Further, since the non-slip portion 65 and the cut portion 13 are formed by an elastomer, the slip of the toilet paper 16 can be suitably suppressed in the non-slip portion 65, and pain or the like is felt when the cut portion 13 is touched by a hand. Can be suppressed.

By providing the cover portion 12 that covers the toilet roll 15 from above, as described above, the work of folding the toilet paper 16 can be performed on the cover portion 12 with one hand. Further, a front side portion 31b that displaces the cover portion 12 (specifically, the upper cover portion 31) downward from the top portion 31a toward the front and a rear side portion that displaces the cover portion 12 (specifically, the upper cover portion 31) downward from the top portion 31a toward the rear. It was configured to have 31c. In this case, by placing the toilet paper 16 on the cover portion 12 while straddling the top portion 31a, the toilet paper 16 can be prevented from slipping forward from the cover portion 12. Therefore, the work of folding the toilet paper 16 can be facilitated.

An opening 33 for exposing the toilet roll 15 is provided in the cover portion 12, and the toilet roll 15 can be rotated through the opening 33. In this case, if the drawer portion 16a of the toilet paper 16 is short and difficult to grasp, the toilet roll 15 can be rotated to pull out the toilet paper 16.

Further, since the opening 33 has an elongated hole shape extending in the rotation direction of the toilet roll 15, the toilet roll 15 can be easily rotated while avoiding the difficulty of placing the toilet paper 16 on the cover portion 12.

The present invention is not limited to the above embodiment, and may be implemented as follows, for example.

(1) In the above embodiment, the non-slip portion 65 is formed of a thermoplastic elastomer, but the non-slip portion 65 may be formed of a thermosetting elastomer. Examples of the thermosetting elastomer include synthetic rubber and natural rubber. Also in this case, it is possible to suitably suppress the slippage of the toilet paper 16. Further, the non-slip portion 65 does not necessarily have to be formed of an elastic elastomer, and may be formed of, for example, a synthetic resin having no elasticity. Also in this case, if the synthetic resin is a material having a large frictional resistance with respect to the toilet paper 16, the slip of the toilet paper 16 can be suitably suppressed.

(2) In the above embodiment, the contact surface 65a of the non-slip portion 65 is a flat surface, but the contact surface may be a non-flat surface. For example, as shown in FIG. 9A, it is conceivable that the contact surface 65b is a curved surface that is convex downward, more specifically, an arc surface. Also in this case, since the toilet paper 16 can be brought into contact with the non-slip portion 65 on the surface, the slip of the toilet paper 16 can be suitably suppressed.

(3) In the non-slip portion 65, the contact portion with which the toilet paper 16 comes into contact does not necessarily have to be planar. An example in that case is shown in FIG. 9 (b). In the example of FIG. 9B, the constituent member 71 is made of a hard resin instead of an elastomer. The constituent member 71 has basically the same configuration as the constituent member 61, and is configured to include a plurality of plate portions 71a to 71e. In the component 71, the non-slip portion 74 is formed by the lower plate portion 71d. A mountain-shaped protrusion 75 that protrudes downward is provided on the lower surface of the non-slip portion 74. A plurality of protrusions 75 are arranged at predetermined intervals in the longitudinal direction (that is, the left-right direction) of the non-slip portion 74.

In the example of FIG. 9B, slippage of the toilet paper 16 can be suppressed by pressing the toilet paper 16 against each of the protrusions 75 to bring them into contact with each other. In this case, since the resistance to the slip of the toilet paper 16 can be increased, the slip of the toilet paper 16 can be suitably suppressed. In this case, each protrusion 75 corresponds to a contact portion.

(4) The contact surface 65a may be subjected to surface processing to roughen the surface. That is, the contact surface 65a may be made rough by forming a large number of minute irregularities on the contact surface 65a. In this case, the slippage of the toilet paper 16 can be further suppressed. Further, when the non-slip portion is formed of a hard resin, the contact surface may be subjected to the above surface processing to suppress the slip of the toilet paper 16.

(5) In the above embodiment, the non-slip portion 65 is integrally formed with the cutting portion 13, but the non-slip portion 65 may be formed separately from the cutting portion 13. In this case, since the cut portion 13 and the non-slip portion 65 can be formed of different materials, the degree of freedom in selecting the materials of the respective portions 13 and 65 can be increased.

(6) In the above embodiment, the contact surface 65a of the non-slip portion 65 is located below the upper end portion of the shaft portion 11 and below the cutting portion 13, but the contact surface 65a Does not necessarily have to be positioned in this position. For example, the contact surface 65a may be positioned at the same position as the cutting portion 13 in the vertical direction.

(7) In the above embodiment, the drawer direction of the toilet paper 16 from the toilet roll 15 is downward (see FIG. 5B), but it is considered that the drawer direction may be upward. In such a case, the contact surface of the non-slip portion may be arranged upward. Further, in such a case, it is desirable that the contact surface is positioned above the lower end portion of the shaft portion 11 and above the cut portion. Then, when the toilet paper 16 is cut by the cutting portion in a state where the toilet paper 16 is in contact with the contact surface, the toilet paper 16 can be arranged in a V shape with the contact portion as the apex. In this case, since the toilet paper 16 can be strongly pressed against the non-slip portion, the slip of the toilet paper 16 can be suitably suppressed. In such a configuration, the upper side on which the contact surface faces corresponds to the first side, and the lower side on the opposite side corresponds to the second side.

(8) In the above embodiment, when the lock member 47 shifts to the open position, that is, the unlock position where the cover portion 12 is unlocked with respect to the shaft portion 11, the lock member 47 rubs against the overhanging portion 41 and is unlocked. Although it was configured to be held at the position, the configuration (holding means) for holding the lock member 47 at the unlocked position is not necessarily limited to this. For example, an urging member such as a coil spring that urges the lock member 47 toward the unlocked position (open position) is provided, and the lock member 47 is held at the unlocked position by the urging force of the urging member. You may.

(9) In the above embodiment, the toilet roll 15 is rotatably supported by the shaft portion 11, but the configuration for rotatably supporting the toilet roll 15 is not necessarily limited to this. For example, a receiving member for receiving the toilet roll 15 from below may be provided, and the toilet roll 15 may be rotatably received by the receiving member. As such a receiving member, for example, a configuration having a receiving portion for receiving the toilet roll 15 from below and a pair of side plate portions arranged on the left and right sides of the toilet roll 15 can be considered. In this case, it is conceivable to form the receiving portion in the shape of an arc plate that is convex downward so as to be along the outer peripheral surface of the toilet roll 15. Even with such a configuration, the toilet roll 15 can be rotatably supported. Further, in the case of such a configuration, it is conceivable to provide the receiving member with a constituent member constituting the cutting portion and the non-slip portion.

(10) In the above embodiment, the shaft portion 11 and the mounting portion 25 are integrally formed, but the shaft portion 11 and the mounting portion 25 may be formed separately. FIG. 10 shows a specific example in that case. 10A is a perspective view showing a toilet paper holder, and FIGS. 10B and 10C are cross-sectional views showing a toilet paper holder. Further, FIGS. 10 (b) and 10 (c) are cross-sectional views of the toilet paper holder cut by a vertical plane parallel to the axis of the shaft portion.

As shown in FIGS. 10A and 10B, the toilet paper holder 80 of this example includes a shaft portion 81 and a cover portion 82, similarly to the toilet paper holder 10 of the above embodiment. Further, a component 61 constituting a cutting portion 13 and a non-slip portion 65 is attached to the cover portion 82. In this example, the component member 61 is not provided with the side plate portion 61e.

The cover portion 82 has an upper cover portion 83 and a pair of side cover portions 84. Each side cover portion 84 is provided with an overhanging portion 85 that projects toward the outer surface side. A support pin 87 extending back and forth is attached to the inside of each overhanging portion 85. On the other hand, a pair of mounting portions 88 that are detachably attached to the support pins 87 are provided on both ends of the shaft portion 81. Each mounting portion 88 has a U-shape that is open upward, and is detachably attached to the support pin 87 by fitting the support pin 87 inside the mounting portion 88. In this case, as shown in FIG. 10 (c), each mounting portion 88 is detachable from below with respect to the support pin 87, whereby the shaft portion 81 is detachable with respect to the cover portion 82. ..

Further, the cover portion 82 is provided with a mounting portion 91 that can be attached to the portable toilet 66 on the side cover portion 84 thereof. The mounting portion 91 is integrally formed with the cover portion 82, and has an arm portion 92 extending from the side cover portion 84 and a holding portion 93 provided at the tip end portion of the arm portion 92.

As described above, according to the configuration of this example, the shaft portion 81 is separated from the mounting portion 91, and the shaft portion 81 is detachable from the cover portion 82. Therefore, the shaft portion 81 is newly added. When setting the toilet roll 15, the shaft portion 81 can be removed and the toilet roll 15 can be set. Therefore, the work of setting the toilet roll 15 can be performed relatively easily.

(11) In the above embodiment, the present invention is applied to a toilet paper holder attached to a portable toilet, but the present invention may be applied to a wall-mounted toilet paper holder attached to a wall of a toilet. Further, the present invention does not necessarily have to be applied to a holder for toilet paper, and may be applied to another paper holder such as a holder for kitchen paper.

Further, the present invention does not necessarily have to be applied to a paper holder, and may be applied to a holder used for a sheet other than paper. That is, the present invention can be applied as long as the long sheet is a holder that supports a sheet roll wound in a cylindrical shape. For example, it can be applied to a holder for a resin sheet (resin film) for wrapping food or the like.
