An opening 20 for loading the toilet paper 1 into the accommodation chamber 12 and a toilet paper
There is provided an outlet 21 projecting from the outlet. The opening 20 is provided with a lid member 19 that is swingably pin-joined to the box 18.
Is covered. The lid member 19 is securely fixed to the box 18 while covering the opening 20 via a claw member (not shown). When the engagement of the claw member (not shown) is released, the spring 46 is elastically urged to swing and rotate, the opening 20 is opened, and the toilet paper 1
1 can be loaded. When the toilet paper is loaded, the opening 20 is closed, and the lid member 19 is fixed to the box 18, the driven roll 14 is pressed by the driving roll 13, and the leading end portion 11a of the toilet paper is placed between the pair of rolls (13, 14). When the driving roll 13 is rotated, the toilet paper 11 is pulled out.

[0007] The roll driving device is based on gear examples of a main gear 26 attached to the shaft 25 of the driving roll 13, a driving gear 27 attached to the motor 17, and an intermediate gear 28 supported by the box 18. The driving roll 13 is driven to rotate by a motor 17.

The cutter 16 is pivotally connected to a box 18 by a pin. The base plate 22 corresponding to the cutting edge 23 of the swinging cutter 16 is fixed to the box 18. The cutting edge 23 and the base plate 22 are connected to a draw-out roll 13.1
They are facing each other just below 4. Immediately below the facing cutting edge 23 and the base plate 22, the outlet 21 and the pushing member 1
5 are facing each other in the horizontal direction. A guide plate 24 that guides the toilet paper 11 between the outlet 21 and the extruding member 15 is provided between the base plate 22 and the outlet 21.

The leading end portion 11a of the toilet paper pulled out from the drawing rolls 13 and 14 slides along the guide plate 24 by its own weight so as to slide along the guide plate 24.
And the extrusion member 15 hangs down. In this state, the cutting edge 23 of the cutter is pressed against the base plate 22, and
When the pushing member 15 is operated so as to protrude from 1, the tip portion 11a of the hanging toilet paper is bent by the pushing member 15 and pushed out from the outlet 21. At that time, since the tension is applied to the toilet paper 11a by being rubbed between the outlet 21 and the pushing member 15, the toilet paper 11a is cut so as to be cut off between the cutting edge 23 of the cutter and the base plate 22, It is further pushed out from the outlet 21 in the folded state. Next, when the pushing member 15 is pulled back from the outlet 21,
Take out the folded toilet paper outlet 2
1 can be taken out as if pulled out.

The cutter driving device is driven by a motor input push button 37 to move in the axial direction when pressed by a motor input push button 37 and a vertically long driven arm 36 projecting downward from an axis 35 for pinning the cutter 16 to the box 18 so as to swing. Input / output shaft 38
A swing arm 39 pivotally supported by the box 18, a pin 40 protruding from the side surface of the intermediate gear 28, and a driven arm 3
6 is constituted by a connecting rod 41 pin-joined to the lower end. The swing arm 39 is vertically elongated, and both ends protrude up and down with the axis as a boundary.
The upper end 43 is engaged with a projection 42 projecting from the connecting rod 41 in the horizontal direction.
The connecting rod 41 is horizontally long, and one end of the connecting rod 41 bordering the protrusion 42 is pin-joined to the lower end of the swing arm 39.
The other end protrudes to a position facing the pin 40 of the intermediate gear 28, and the other end is provided with a tongue piece 44 to which the pin 40 of the intermediate gear abuts.

When the push button 37 is pressed to start the motor 17, the input / output shaft 38 pushes the pivot arm 39 to pivot. Then, the upper end 43 of the swing arm 39 abuts on the projection 42, and the connecting rod 41 is pushed in the opposite direction to the input / output shaft 38 by the upper end 43 of the swing arm 39, and the pin is joined to the connecting rod 41. Moving arm 3
9 swings and rotates. Then, since the cutter 16 swings and rotates integrally with the driven arm 36, the cutter 16 moves in a direction away from the base plate 22, and as a result, the cutter 16 and the base plate 22
There is a required gap for the toilet paper 11a to hang down.

When the intermediate gear 28 makes one rotation, the pin 40 projecting from the side of the intermediate gear 28 hits the tongue piece 44, and the connecting rod 41 is pushed up by the pin 40. 43, the cutter 16 previously separated from the base plate 22 by the connecting rod 41 via the driven arm 36 swings and hits the base plate 22. Thus, the toilet paper 11a can be cut between the cutter 16 and the base plate 22. In order to allow the free cutter 16 having the protrusion 42 disengaged from the swing arm 39 to hit the base plate 22, the cutter 16 is moved by the spring 47 to the base plate side (2).
It is good to elastically bias to 2).

The upper end 43 of the swinging arm, which is disengaged from the projection 42 of the connecting rod, holds the input / output shaft 3
8 is pushed back to the original state, and at the same time, the swing arm 39 swings and rotates to return to the original state. At that time, the upper end 43 of the swing arm is swung to the side of the tongue (44) of the connecting rod by dive below the projection 42, retreats, and is returned to the state of hitting the projection 42 again.

The pushing member driving device includes a clutch disc 29 which is slidably supported by the shaft of the intermediate gear 28 and rotates together with the intermediate gear 28, and a rotatably supported by a shaft 30 of the intermediate gear 28. Idle gear 31 which is engaged with the clutch disc 29
, And a driven gear 32 pivotally supported by the box 18. Extrusion member 15
Is supported by the box 18 so as to be reciprocally movable toward the outlet 21. An arm 34 is attached to the shaft 33 of the driven gear 32 so as to abut the pushing member 15 and push the pushing member 15 to the outlet 21. Input / output shaft 3
A cam plate 45 that presses the clutch disc 29 against the idle gear 31 is attached to 8.

When the input / output shaft 38 is pushed together with the push button 37, the cam plate 45 causes the clutch board 29 to move the idle gear 3
1 so that the idle gear 31 rotates together with the intermediate gear 28 to rotate the driven gear 32. Then, the arm 34 attached to the shaft 33 of the driven gear 32 also rotates, and the tip of the arm 34 collides with the pushing member 15, and as a result, the pushing member 15 is pushed out to the outlet 21. The pushing member 15 is provided with a projection 48 to which the tip of the arm 34 abuts. When the arm 34 further rotates, the pushing member 48 comes off the projection 48, and the pushing member 15 is pulled back from the outlet 21 by the spring 49.

Until the arm 34 rotates and hits the projection 48, the pushing member 15 is at rest. For this reason, the leading end portion 11a of the toilet paper drawn out therefrom hangs down through the gap between the outlet 21 and the pushing member 15. When the extruding member 15 is extruded, the tip 11 of the hanging toilet paper
a is the outlet 2 so as to be folded by the pushing member 15.
Extruded from one. In the folded state, the leading end portion 11a, which has been hanging down below the space between the outlet 21 and the extruding member 15, becomes a folding allowance for the toilet paper.

When the push button 37 is pressed in this manner, a predetermined length of toilet paper is pulled out by the draw-out rolls 13 and 14, and cut between the cutter 16 and the base plate 22,
The toilet paper 11 is set in the outlet 21 so as to be folded and pushed out from the outlet 21 by the pushing member 15, and thus can be automatically taken out.

A start switch of the motor 17 is provided at a tip end of the input / output shaft 38, and a stop switch thereof pushes up the tongue piece 44 of the connecting rod and pushes the pin 40 of the intermediate gear 28 passing therethrough.
Is provided at a position where it contacts. Therefore, when the push button 37 is pressed and the start switch is turned on via the input / output shaft member 38, the intermediate gear 28 starts to rotate, and when it rotates once, the pin 40 of the intermediate gear 28 turns off the stop switch to turn off the stop switch. The motor 17 stops. In the drawing, reference numeral 50 denotes a spring that pushes back the input / output shaft member 38, and reference numeral 51 denotes a cushion member attached to the surface of the base plate 22.
