[Embodiment of device]

 1 is a view showing a holder according to an embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view of the periphery of a support cylinder, and FIG. 3 is a view showing a modification of the periphery of the support cylinder.

As shown in the drawing, a motor drive device 4 for imparting a rotational force to the support cylinder 1 is provided in the support cylinder 1, and specifically, the following is performed.

That is, the motor 5 with the speed reduction mechanism 5 a is fixed to one end of the support cylinder 1. A locking shaft 6 is concentrically fixed to the output shaft of the motor 5, and slip rings 7 and 8 for electrical connection are provided at respective ends of the locking shaft 6. In this case, 7a and 8a are brushes.

Reference numeral 9 is a battery for supplying electric power to the motor 5, 10 is an operation switch for starting and stopping the motor 5, and is connected to the battery 9 and the motor 5 via slip rings 7 and 8. Has been done.

Reference numeral 11 denotes a cylindrical support body which is fitted in the locking shaft 6 and supports the locking shaft 6 in a restricted rotation state. The cylindrical support body 11 is fixed to the main body frame 2 and holds the brush 8a at the central hole. To do.

On the other hand, the peripheral surface portion of the support cylinder 1 is provided with a rotational force transmission means 12 for transmitting the rotational force to the toilet paper p fitted onto the support cylinder 1, and specifically, the following will be described. Has been done.

That is, the electromagnetic body 13 is provided in the support cylinder 1, and the electromagnetic body 13 operates in association with the operation of the operation switch 10. Then, swing arms 14 are mounted at appropriate circumferentially spaced positions on the circumferential surface of the support cylinder 1 via a support shaft 15 so as to swing in the direction of arrow f3, and these swing arms 14 are attached to the electromagnetic body 13. The base end of the support cylinder 1 is attracted by the excitation operation and swings outward of the radius of the support cylinder 1. This tip 16 is a projection provided on the tip of the swing arm 14. The electromagnetic body 13 may be operated by an independent operation switch.

Reference numeral 17 denotes a locking shaft on the other side corresponding to the locking shaft 6, and is specifically concentric with the support cylinder 1 and can be retracted into the support cylinder 1 against the elastic force of the spring 18. It is attached as follows.

The product of the present invention configured as described above is used as follows. That is, when mounting the toilet paper p, the support cylinder 1 is pushed toward the arrow f1 side so that the locking shaft 17 is retracted into the support cylinder 1 to remove the support cylinder 1 from the main body frame 2 and remove it from the paper p. Insert it through the core hole and attach it again to the body frame 2 as shown in FIG. 1 in the reverse order of removal.

When using the paper p, the operation switch 10 is pushed and operated. As a result, the electromagnetic body 13 is excited prior to the rotation of the motor 5, the swing arm 14 is swung around the support shaft 15 as shown by the phantom line, and the protrusion 16 is formed on the inner peripheral surface of the core hole of the paper p. Will be caught in. Subsequently, the motor 5 is rotationally operated to try to rotate the locking shaft 6, and at this time, since the locking shaft 6 is in the state in which the rotation is restricted by the support member 11, the support cylinder 1 The reaction force is transmitted to the support cylinder 1, and the support cylinder 1 is rotated at a relatively slow speed reduced by the reduction mechanism 5a.

The rotation of the support cylinder 1 is reliably transmitted to the paper p through the swing arm 14 and the protrusion 16 thereof, and the paper p rotates in the direction of arrow f2 against the resistance of the swing holding plate 3. As a result, the cut end of the paper p is gradually drawn out and has a hanging shape.

Thus, when the paper p is fed out by the required length, the pushing operation of the operation switch 10 is released. As a result, the motor 5 stops rotating, the rotation of the paper p is stopped, and the swing arm 14 returns to the non-overhanging state by a weak spring force (not shown).

The rotation transmission means 12 of the above-mentioned embodiment can be modified in various ways, for example, as follows.

That is, as shown in FIG. 3, it is assumed that the obliquely extending projecting members 19 are provided at appropriate circumferentially spaced positions on the circumferential surface portion of the support cylinder 1, and these serve as a one-way clutch. Here, a one-way clutch is one that can transmit rotation to one side but cut off rotation transmission to the opposite side. A corrugated protrusion is provided at the tip of each protruding member 19 so as to be easily caught on the inner peripheral surface of the core hole of the paper p.

When the support cylinder 1 is inserted into the core hole of the paper p, the support cylinder 1 is rotated and pushed in the direction f4 in which the overhanging member 19 is not caught.

When the paper is used, the support cylinder 1 is rotated in the direction of the arrow f5 in the same manner as in the previous embodiment. In this case, the inner peripheral surface of the core hole of the paper p forms the corrugated protrusions 19a between them. The contact resistance tends to move the protruding member 19 to the standing side. Therefore, the bending of the overhanging member 19 tends to be elongated, and the corrugated projections 19a are strongly pressed against the inner peripheral surface of the core hole of the paper p to reliably transmit the rotation of the support tube 1 to the paper p. Becomes

As a result, the cut end of the paper p is paid out as in the previous embodiment. At this time, when the amount of feeding is too large due to an erroneous operation, the swing pressing plate 3 is swung upward and the entire paper p is turned in the direction opposite to the feeding direction, that is, in the direction of arrow f4. The protruding member 19 tends to be bent toward the center of rotation, and the corrugated protrusion 19a weakens the contact force with the paper p, so that the paper p is smoothly rotated even when the support tube 1 is in the non-rotating state. As a result, the excessively fed paper p portion is rewound without any trouble.

When the motor driving device 4 fails, a pulling force exceeding the locking force of the overhanging member 19 or a pulling force exceeding the transmission resistance of the motor driving device 4 is applied to the paper p. Make sure to pull out the cut end of.

In the above-described embodiment, the operation switch 10 may be provided at an arbitrary position, and a lever for operating the operation switch 10 may be extended from the main body frame 2.

[0029]

[Effect of device]

 According to the present invention configured as described above, the paper can be drawn out by a simple operation such as pressing the operation switch, and the troublesome feeling can be avoided.

However, in the second aspect, since the unused space that has been present in the related art is utilized as a place for incorporating the motor drive device, the overall shape becomes compact and the usability is improved.

According to the third aspect, the rotation of the support cylinder can be reliably transmitted to the paper, and the fourth aspect can simplify the structure.
