It is not intended that the invention be applicable to other embodiments that fall within the scope of the utility model registration claims.

  The perspective view of the toilet paper holder 10 which concerns on one Embodiment of this invention is shown in FIG. FIG. 1 shows a state in which the toilet paper 1 is held by the toilet paper holder 10. The toilet pepper holder 10 includes a fixed portion 11, two side covers 12a and 12b, and a paper cover 13.

  The fixing part 11 is for fixing the toilet paper holder 10 to a wall in the toilet (not shown). The fixing part 11 is brought into contact with the wall of the toilet, and the toilet paper holder 10 is fixed to the wall by using a screw or an adhesive (not shown).

  The side covers 12a and 12b extend from both sides of the fixed portion 11 in a direction orthogonal to the toilet wall, and the toilet paper 1 is formed by a holding mechanism (not shown) formed inside the side covers 12a and 12b. Hold.

  Note that the holding mechanism for holding the toilet paper 1 inside the side covers 12a and 12b is not particularly illustrated, but any paper holding mechanism may be used as long as it is a holding mechanism employed in a general toilet paper holder 10. The dispenser is applicable. Specifically, for example, a cylindrical core material made of thick paper at the center of the toilet paper 1 is passed through a holding rod, and a mechanism for supporting the holding rod and the inside of each of the side covers 12a and 12b are movable. There is a mechanism provided with a holding part. Moreover, the fixing | fixed part 11 and the side covers 12a and 12b may each be formed with a separate member, and may be integrally formed using the metal material or the resin material.

  The paper cover 13 covers the upper side of the toilet paper 1 and has a shape that gradually bends downward toward the front end 13 a following the shape of the toilet paper 1. And the toilet paper 1 can be cut | disconnected by this front-end | tip 13a. Each of the paper covers 13 is provided with a shaft portion (not shown) in the vicinity of the rear end 13b of the side portion. And this axial part is pivotally supported by each of the side covers 12a and 12b, and the paper cover 13 can be rotated in the vertical direction.

  The toilet paper holder 10 having such a configuration holds the toilet paper 1 with the upper side of the toilet paper 1 covered with the paper cover 13 between the side covers 12a and 12b.

  The toilet paper 1 may be any roll as long as it is commercially available. Then, the toilet paper 1 rotates in the pulling direction indicated by the arrow A by picking and pulling the tip S of the toilet paper 1.

  Next, the paper dispenser 20 attached to the toilet paper holder 10 described above will be described. FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the paper dispenser 20.

  The paper dispenser 20 is used by being fixed inside the paper cover 13 of the toilet paper holder 10, and rotates the toilet paper 1 in a direction opposite to the pulling-out direction A (retraction direction) as described later. Is. The paper dispenser 20 includes an attachment portion 21 and a main body portion 22.

  The main body 21 is a curved plate member having a thickness of about 0.3 mm, a lateral width of about 115 mm, which is approximately the same as the width of the toilet paper 1, and a longitudinal length of about 75 mm. It is formed with resin which has.

  More specifically, the main body portion 21 made of a curved plate member has a tip 21a side curved downward. This curvature is larger (curvature is larger) than that of the paper cover 13. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 3A and the like to be described later, when the toilet paper 1 is held in a state in which the paper dispenser 20 is attached to the inner side of the paper cover 13, the tip 21a of the main body portion 21 becomes the toilet paper. The paper cover 13 is in non-contact with the toilet paper 1.

  Further, when the elastic main body portion 21 is pressed near the inflection point in a cross-sectional view from above, as shown by an arrow B, the main body portion 21 is deformed in the direction in which the inside of the curve spreads (opening direction) and stops pressing. The original curved shape is restored. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 3B and the like which will be described later, when the paper cover 13 is pressed, the curved inner side of the main body 21 of the paper ejecting machine 20 spreads in the opening direction, and the paper cover 13 The tip 13 a comes into contact with the surface of the toilet paper 1.

  In addition, the main body 21 is chamfered at the corner 21c of the tip 21a. Therefore, the paper dispenser 20 is less likely to damage the toilet paper 1 at the corner 21c.

  Note that the body portion 21 formed of resin can be specifically formed using, for example, polycarbonate, polyethylene terephthalate, or the like. Moreover, it is not necessarily limited to resin, If the main-body part 21 has elasticity, it can also be formed, for example using metals, such as an aluminum plate.

  Further, the size of the main body 21 is not limited to that of the present embodiment, and the thickness can be applied in the range of 0.1 to 0.5 mm and the length in the vertical direction of 70.0 to 80.0 mm. It is. Although the length in the vertical direction can be longer than 80.0 mm, if the length is too long, the tip 21a of the main body 21 will be in the state of FIG. It will be located downstream of the tip 13a. In this case, since the toilet paper 1 must be cut at the tip 21a of the main body 21, the tip 21a also needs a function of dividing the toilet paper 1. Therefore, the length of the main body 21 is preferably such that the tip 21 of the main body 21 is positioned upstream of the tip 13 a of the paper cover 13.

  In FIG. 2, the main body portion 21 has a curved shape that gradually bends continuously, but if the deformation in the opening direction B by pressing and the restoration by releasing the pressing are possible, It may be a shape that is refracted and bent like a letter shape.

  The attachment portion 22 is used for fixing the paper dispenser 20 to the inside of the paper cover 13 (the side on which the toilet paper 1 is located), and in the present embodiment, is made of a tape having strong adhesiveness. Yes. More specifically, a tape is affixed along the lateral direction of the main body 21 on the rear end 21 b side of the main body 21 constituting the paper dispenser 20. And even if it is the toilet paper holder already installed in the toilet with the attaching part 22 which consists of tapes, this paper-feeding machine 20 can be retrofitted easily.

In the present embodiment, the main body portion 21 and the attachment portion 22 constituting the paper dispenser 20 are initially separate from each other, and when fixing the paper dispenser 20 inside the paper cover 13, The main body portion 21 and the attachment portion 22 are integrated.
Further, the attachment portion 22 may be other than a tape as long as it can firmly fix the paper dispenser 20 to the inside of the paper cover 13, and may be made of, for example, an adhesive or a screw.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 3, the operation in a state where the paper ejecting machine 20 is attached to the inner side of the paper cover 13 will be described with reference to a cross-sectional view taken along line XX in FIG.

First, as shown in FIG. 3A, the user presses the vicinity of the tip 13a of the paper cover 13 in the pressing direction C indicated by the arrow C with his / her finger or the like. In conjunction with this pressing operation, the rotatable paper cover 13 sinks in the pressing direction C.
At this time, since the entire body portion 21 is pressed in the pressing direction C by the sinking of the paper cover 13, the body portion 21 is gradually deformed in the opening direction B in conjunction with the pressing operation.

Next, as shown in FIG. 3B, when the pressing operation is continued, the tip 13a of the paper cover 13 comes into contact with the toilet paper 1, and the paper cover 13 stops sinking. In this state, the paper dispenser 20 has the greatest deformation in the opening direction B, and the inside of the main body 21 is in contact with the surface of the toilet paper 1.
At this time, the toilet paper 1 is not particularly rotated in the pulling-out direction A due to the deformation in the opening direction B of the paper dispenser 20, and the position of the tip S is not changed or slightly displaced. .

Next, as shown in FIG. 3C, when the pressing operation is released, the main body 21 of the paper ejecting machine 20 is restored to the original state (returned to the direction B ′ opposite to the opening direction B). By restoring the main body 21, the paper cover 13 and the toilet paper 1 are brought into a non-contact state again, and the toilet paper 1 is rotated in a pull-back direction D which is opposite to the pull-out direction A.
And the position of the front-end | tip S moves to an upstream by rotation in the pull-back direction D of the toilet paper 1. FIG.

  By repeating this operation, the front end S of the toilet paper 1 moves more and more upstream, and when the front end S of the toilet paper 1 reaches a position, the toilet paper 1 hangs down due to its own weight.

  In FIG. 4, when the toilet paper 1 is rotated in the pull-back direction D opposite to the pull-out direction A, the situation where the position of the tip S gradually moves to the upstream side and hangs down due to its own weight. FIG. 1 is a sectional view taken along line XX in FIG.

By repeating the operations of FIGS. 3A and 3B, the position of the tip S is gradually retracted to the upstream side in conjunction with the restoration of the main body 21, as shown in FIG. 4A.
Then, as shown in FIG. 4B, when the tip S reaches a certain position, the tip S is peeled off from the main body of the toilet paper 1 by its own weight, and gradually, as shown by the broken line arrow in FIG. The tip S hangs down from the body of the toilet paper 1.

  And the user picks the hanging part, pulls out the illeret paper 1 to an arbitrary length in the pulling direction A, and presses the paper cover 13 in the pressing direction C (state shown in FIG. 3B). The toilet paper 1 is cut and used by the tip 13a.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, the paper dispenser 20 is configured such that when the paper cover 13 is pressed, the main body portion 21 is deformed in the opening direction B, and the press of the paper cover 13 is released. The unit 21 restores the original state. The paper dispenser 20 is configured to gradually pull back the tip S of the toilet paper 1 using the restoration of the main body 21. Accordingly, when the tip S of the toilet paper 1 reaches a certain position, the toilet paper 1 is separated from the main body of the toilet paper 1 by its own weight, so that the tip S can be easily known and the toilet paper can be easily picked.

  Note that the amount of movement when the tip S of the toilet paper 1 is pulled back by the paper dispenser 20 varies depending on the force applied when the user presses, but in this embodiment, the pressing operation is roughly 3 By repeating about ˜5 times, the tip S of the toilet paper 1 was able to move to a distance where it hangs down due to its own weight.

  Moreover, in the case of the toilet paper delivery machine as described in Patent Literature 1 and Patent Literature 2, the paper is delivered after using the toilet paper. Therefore, when another user uses the toilet paper next time, since the tip of the toilet paper is already visible, the next user usually tries to pick the toilet paper as it is. However, since there is a limit to the amount of paper that can be fed by the feeder, if the tip that is already visible is picked up, the tip of the toilet paper is difficult to pick up if it is only slightly exposed.

  On the other hand, when using the paper dispenser 20 of the present embodiment, the paper is pulled back after using the toilet paper. Therefore, when another user uses this toilet paper next time, the front end S of the toilet paper is usually not visible because it is retracted (in FIG. 3, for the sake of clarity, the front end S is not visible). It is explained from the state where S is visible. Therefore, as a user's psychology, first, the tip S of the toilet paper 1 is searched. At this time, since the paper cover 13 and the toilet paper 1 are in a non-contact state by the paper dispenser 20, a psychology of pressing the paper cover 13 is likely to work as a user's psychology. When the pressing operation and the pressing release operation are performed, the toilet paper 1 is pulled back, so that the user can easily understand the operation and action of the paper dispenser 20. That is, the paper dispenser 20 has a simple operation for the user and is easy to understand intuitively.

  In the present embodiment, the configuration in which the paper discharger 20 is attached to the toilet paper holder 10 as a retrofit has been described. However, the toilet paper holder 10 and the paper discharger 20 are integrated from the beginning, and the paper discharger 20 The attached toilet paper holder 10 may be installed in the toilet.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the toilet paper holder 10 provided with two side covers 12a and 12b extending from both sides of the fixing portion 11 is shown, but the present invention is also applied to the toilet paper holder 10 including one side cover. Is applicable.
