Description

  The present invention relates to a roll paper holder used to pull out and cut a paper of a desired length from a roll paper having a central cavity for insertion into a support shaft.

  Generally, a roll paper, which is a roll of toilet paper placed in a toilet of a home or a public facility, generally has a support shaft for inserting the central cavity and rotatably supporting the roll paper, and a supported roll paper. Is set and used in a roll paper holder provided with a cutting and pressing plate that covers the front end as a cutting portion.

  When pulling out and cutting a desired length of paper from a roll of paper set in a conventional roll paper holder, the user holds the leading end of the paper and pulls out the desired length of paper, and one hand presses the cutting pressure plate In a state where the roll paper is held so as not to rotate, the paper pulled out by another hand is pressed against the tip of the cutting pressure plate and cut.

  When the paper of a desired length is pulled out from the roll paper set in the conventional roll paper holder and cut, there is a problem that the cutting press plate is unsanitary because it can be touched by many unspecified hands. In addition, since it is necessary to press the cutting and pressing plate from above with the other hand while pulling out the paper of the desired length with one hand, it has been difficult for a person with one hand to use. Furthermore, there is a case where the leading end of the paper roll paper is covered and hidden by the cutting and pressing plate, and in such a case, there is a problem that it is time and effort to search for the leading end of the paper.

  Techniques for solving the above-mentioned problems have also been proposed. For example, Patent Document 1 listed below is a roll support means for rotatably supporting a roll paper obtained by rolling a band-like toilet paper into a roll and a roll paper supported above the roll paper supported by the roll support means. Paper supporting means for supporting the toilet paper between the cutting means and the roll paper movably in the longitudinal direction of the toilet paper from below and the toilet paper to be cut by the cutting means; There is disclosed a toilet paper holder comprising: paper braking means for applying a braking force that prevents the toilet paper from moving in the longitudinal direction by abutting from above on the means and the cutting means.

Unexamined-Japanese-Patent No. 2007-244488

  In the case of the toilet paper holder disclosed in Patent Document 1, when the roll paper is consumed and the diameter of the roll paper becomes smaller, the distance from the roll paper to the paper support means becomes longer, so that the paper weighs by its own weight. It tends to be easily detached from the paper support means, and it seems difficult to stably support the tip of the paper.

  An object of the present invention is to provide a novel roll paper holder which is easy to find the tip of the roll paper and to easily cut the paper pulled out from the roll paper with one hand.

One aspect of the present invention is a roll paper holder for pulling out and cutting paper of a desired length from a roll paper having a central cavity to be inserted into a support shaft, and a back plate member, a back plate member A support shaft for rotatably supporting the roll paper, a cover member having a cutting blade at its front end and rotatably supported by the back plate member at the rear base, and a front side of the cover member both the width regulating member two arranged respectively on the sides, a plate which is rotatably supported in two width regulating member in the lower cover member, their respective each width restricting member below the plate fixed supporting lifting, and a two paper mounting member which is arranged so as to face to hold the gap, the cover member is sandwiched between the rear distribution position of each width regulating member center The area is curved downward and the plate is When the roll paper is set by inserting the center cavity into the support shaft and setting the roll paper, the cover member contacts the circumferential surface of the roll paper at the central region when the roll paper is set near the center of the end. The paper is brought into contact with the circumferential surface of the roll paper at the front end, and the paper from the roll paper is pulled out from between the plate and the two paper placing members and supported by the plate and the two paper placing members, The plate is a roll paper holder that pivots upward when pulled out and raised upward.

  According to such a configuration of the roll paper holder, the leading end of the roll paper can be easily found because the paper pulled out from the roll paper is supported by the two paper placing members and the plate. In addition, since the plate is provided with the cutout portion and a gap is provided between the two paper placement members, it is easy to pick the paper with a finger. Then, when pulling up the drawn-out paper of the desired length and applying the paper to the cutting blade disposed at the front end of the cover member for cutting, the cover member curved in a downward convex shape is the circumferential surface of the roll paper One handed cutting is facilitated to abut and limit its rotation.

  Further, when the side surfaces of the set roll paper face the width control members, and the difference between the distance between the width control members and the width of the roll paper is 10 mm or less, it is in the width direction of the roll paper. Since the movement is sufficiently restricted by the two width regulating members, the roll paper does not move largely in the horizontal direction at the time of cutting, so it becomes easy to cut the paper with one hand.

  According to the present invention, it is possible to provide a novel roll paper holder which makes it easy to find the tip of the roll paper and to easily cut the paper pulled out from the roll paper with one hand.

  FIG. 1 is a perspective transparent schematic view for explaining an entire configuration of a roll paper holder 100 which is an embodiment of a roll paper holder according to the present invention. Further, FIG. 2 is a schematic perspective view for explaining an appearance when the roll paper 10 which is a toilet paper is set in the roll paper holder 100. As shown in FIG. For convenience of explanation, referring to the coordinate axes shown in FIG. 1, the direction of arrow X1 directed to the right side of the paper is left, the direction of arrow X2 directed to the left on the paper is right, and the direction of arrow Y1 directed to the upper side The upward direction, the downward direction of the arrow Y2 directed downward, the downward direction of the arrow Z1, the forward direction of the arrow Z1, and the rearward direction of the arrow Z2 directed backward will be described.

  In FIG. 1, 1 is a back plate member including a back plate body 1c, a back plate right side 1a and a back plate left side 1b, 2 is a cover member, 3 is a support shaft, 4a is a right width restricting member, 4b 1 is a left width regulating member, 5 is a plate having a cutout portion C, 6a is a right paper placement member, 6b is a left paper placement member, and 7 is a cutting blade.

  Referring to FIG. 1, the back plate member 1 includes a region in which the back plate main body portion 1c is formed, and a predetermined ear portion capable of forming the back plate right side portion 1a and the back plate left side portion 1b by bending. It is a member formed by bending an ear portion of a metal plate cut into a shape to about 90 degrees. Further, the back plate right side portion 1a and the back plate left side portion 1b are formed with holes 11a and 11b for inserting the rotation shafts 31a and 31b for rotatably supporting the cover member 2 at the rear base thereof. . Furthermore, holes 12a and 12b used for attaching the roll paper holder 100 to the wall surface with a screw and holes 13a and 13b used for fixing the support shaft 3 are formed in the back plate main body part 1c. Further, the back plate member may be a wood processed product or a resin molded product instead of the metal plate processed product.

  In order to support the roll paper 10 having a central cavity, the back plate member 1 is provided with a cantilever support shaft 3 extending forward. The support shaft 3 is supported by the back plate member 1 in a substantially U-shape by a bracket. In the roll paper holder 100, the bracket of the support shaft 3 is screwed to the holes 13a and 13b of the back plate member 1 with screws 21a and 21b. In addition, fixation of a support shaft is not limited to such a form, For example, it rivets to a back plate member, or fixes a substantially U-shaped support shaft to a back plate member by adhesion or welding, a back plate It may be integrated with the member.

  In addition, the cover member 2 is rotatably supported by the back plate right side portion 1 a and the back plate left side portion 1 b of the back plate member 1 at the rear base thereof. FIG. 3 is a schematic view of the cover member 2, (a) is a top perspective view, and (b) is a left side view. As shown in FIG. 3, the cover member 2 is disposed in front of the cover main body 2c, the rear right side 2a and the rear left side 2b disposed at the rear base of the cover main body 2c, and the cover main body 2c. A front right side 2d and a front left side 2e are provided.

  Similarly to the back plate member 1, the cover member 2 is cut into a predetermined shape having an ear portion which can be formed by bending a rear right side portion 2a, a rear left side portion 2b, a front right side portion 2d and a front left side portion 2e. The ear portion of the metal plate can be formed by bending it at approximately 90 degrees. A hole 14a is formed in the rear right side portion 2a, and a hole 14b is formed in the rear left side portion 2b. Furthermore, a hole 15a is formed in the front right side portion 2d, and a hole 15b is formed in the front left side portion 2e. Referring to FIG. 1, the rear right side 2a of the cover member 2 is superimposed on the back right side 1a, the rear left side 2b is overlapped on the rear left side 1b, the hole 11a is in the hole 11a, and the hole 11b is in the hole 11b. The cover member 2 is pivotally supported on the back plate member 1 at its rear base by inserting and fixing the rotary shafts 31a and 31b to each other. Thus, the cover member 2 is rotatably supported by the back plate member 1.

  In addition, the cover member 2 has a central region R that is curved downward and convex from the front right side 2d and the front left side 2e where the width regulating members are disposed to the rear right side 2a and the rear left side 2b of the rear base. . Referring to FIG. 2, when the roll paper 10 is set by curving the central region R of the cover member 2 downward, the central region R of the cover member 2 is formed on the circumferential surface of the roll paper 10. It abuts, and does not abut in the front where the right width regulating member 4a and the left width regulating member 4b are disposed. By forming the cover member 2 in this manner, the central region R of the cover member 2 abuts locally on the circumferential surface of the roll paper 10, so that the weight of the cover member 2 is concentrated on the abutted portion. Apply a moderate brake to the rotation of the paper 10.

  Specifically, the cover member 2 causes the central region R to abut locally on the circumferential surface of the roll paper 10, thereby the cover member 2 and the cutting blade 7 added to the cover member, the right width regulating member 4a, the left The weights of the width regulating member 4b, the plate 5, the right paper placement member 6a, the left paper placement member 6b and the like are concentrated on the contact surface. As a result, when the paper is pulled out of the roll paper 10, the cover member 2 makes it difficult to rotate the roll paper 10, and suppresses the cover member 2 from swinging. When the action of the brake is too strong, it may be difficult to pull out the paper from the roll paper 10. That is, in order to make the roll paper 10 difficult to rotate, it is preferable that the static friction force be high, and in order to make it easy to pull the paper from the roll paper 10, it is preferable that the dynamic friction force be low. In order to make it difficult to rotate the roll paper 10 when pulling out the paper while drawing the paper out of the roll paper 10 easily, it is preferable to control the balance between the static friction force and the dynamic friction force. Specifically, in order to adjust the frictional force of the portion in contact with the cover member 2 and the roll paper 10, for example, the cover member 2, the cutting blade 7, the right width regulation member 4a, the left width regulation member 4b, the plate 5, Adjust the weight of the right paper placement member 6a, the left paper placement member 6b, etc., adjust the surface roughness of the contact surface, or adjust the curvature of the portion that curves downward in the central region R It is preferable to adjust the frictional force on the basis of leverage by adjusting the area of the contact surface or shifting the contact surface back and forth. In addition, the cover member 2 may be made of a metal having a high specific gravity, or the thickness may be increased to increase the weight.

  Referring to FIG. 1, a right width regulating member 4 a and a left width regulating member 4 b are disposed in front of the cover member 2. Referring to FIG. 3, the right width restricting member 4a and the left width restricting member 4b are fixed to the holes 15a and 15b formed in the front right side 2d and the front left side 2e of the cover member 2 by riveting or the like. . The fixing means of the right width restricting member and the left width restricting member to the cover member is not limited to riveting, and may be fixed by other methods. Specifically, for example, the front right side and the front left side can be fixed to the cover member by adhesion or welding, or the area where the cover member is formed and the right width restricting member and the left width restricting member can be formed by bending. The ear portion of the metal plate cut into a predetermined shape having the ear portion, which is a region, may be integrated with the cover member so as to be bent at approximately 90 degrees and formed.

  Referring to FIG. 2, the right width restricting member 4a and the left width restricting member 4b arrange the roll paper 10 between them to restrict the horizontal movement of the roll paper 10 and support the plate 5 so as to be able to rotate. The right width regulating member 4a supports the right paper placement member 6a, and the left width regulation member 4b serves as the base supporting the left paper placement member 6b.

  When the roll paper 10 is set, the right side face of the roll paper 10 faces the right width restricting member 4a, and the left side faces the left width restricting member 4b. At this time, it is preferable that the distance between the right width regulating member 4 a and the left width regulating member 4 b be short as long as the ease of pulling out the paper from the roll paper 10 is not impeded. If the distance between the right width regulating member 4a and the left width regulating member 4b is too long, the roll paper 10 tends to move in the horizontal direction, which tends to make it difficult to cut the paper. From such a point, the difference between the distance between the right width regulating member 4a and the left width regulating member 4b and the width of the roll paper 10 is 10 mm or less, and further 5 mm or less, particularly 2 mm or less. By sufficiently restricting the movement in the width direction, the roll paper 10 is difficult to move at the time of cutting, which is preferable in that the paper can be easily cut with one hand. For example, in the case of using a standard 114 mm ± 2 mm width toiletper, the distance between the right width restricting member 4a and the left width restricting member 4b is 114 to 124 mm, further 114 to 119 mm, particularly 114 to 116 mm Is preferred.

  As shown in FIG. 1, below the cover member 2, a plate 5 rotatably supported by the right width regulating member 4a and the left width regulating member 4b is disposed. Specifically, the cylindrical portion is provided at the rear end of the plate 5, and the rotation is extended and fixed to the hole 16a formed in the right width regulating member 4a and the hole 16b formed in the left width regulating member 4b. The plate 5 is supported rotatably around the rotation shaft 33 by inserting the cylindrical portion into the shaft 33.

  At the center of the front end of the plate 5, a cutout C is formed. The notch shape portion C is provided to hold the vicinity of the tip of the paper of the roll paper 10 with a finger. The dimension of the notch shape portion C is not particularly limited as long as it is a shape in which the paper can be pinched with a finger, but for example, considering the ease of pinching with a finger, the width is about 30 to 60 mm and the depth is 10 to 30 mm Preferably, the shape is rectangular, semicircular, or the like.

  FIG. 4 is an explanatory view for explaining the operation of the plate 5, and shows a state when the vicinity of the left width regulating member 4b of the roll paper holder 100 is viewed from the left side. The plate 5 is rotatably supported by the left width regulating member 4b and the right width regulating member 4a (not shown) around the rear end with the rotary shaft 33 as a rotation center. As shown in FIG. 4A, the plate 5 is rotated in the upward direction indicated by A around the rotation shaft 33 or in the downward direction indicated by B about the rotation shaft 33 as shown in FIG. 4B. Move. As described later, when the paper is pulled out of the roll paper 10 and the paper is pulled up, the front end of the plate 5 is pulled up in contact with the paper, and when the pulled up paper is released, the front end of the plate 5 Lowers by its own weight. Further, the rotation range in the downward direction of the plate 5 is limited by the right paper placement member 6 a and the left paper placement member 6 b.

  Referring to FIG. 1, the right paper placement member 6a is a right side, and the left paper placement member 6b is a left side, for placing a drawn-out paper. Between the right paper placement member 6a and the left paper placement member 6b, a gap G of a predetermined distance is held in order to allow the paper to be picked with a finger. The interval of the gap G is not particularly limited as long as it is an interval at which the paper is picked up with a finger and does not fall off the mounting member when the paper is pulled out, but for example, preferably about 30 to 60 mm.

  The right paper placement member 6a and the left paper placement member 6b place the paper pulled out on them, and the plate 5 is covered with its own weight on the placed paper, and the right paper placement member 6a and the right paper placement member 6a The paper is nipped between the left paper placement member 6 b and the plate 5.

  A cutting blade 7 is disposed at the front end of the cover member 2. The cutting blade 7 is preferably a cutting blade in which a plurality of v-shaped teeth are arranged, in which the paper is cut, preferably by applying force, in order to reduce the risk of cutting a finger. Also, preferably, the cutting blade is composed of a plurality of v-shaped teeth such that the teeth are large at both ends that hit the paper first and the teeth are small in the middle because there is more power when cutting the paper first. Being particularly preferred. Such a cutting blade may be disposed integrally with the front end of the cover member, or may be disposed after being attached retrofitly.

  Next, an operation when using the roll paper holder 100 with the roll paper 10 set in the roll paper holder 100 will be described.

  The roll paper 10, with the cover member 2 of the roll paper holder 100 raised, is inserted into the support shaft 3 at its center cavity, the right width regulating member 4a faces the right side of the roll paper 10, and the left side is left The position is finely adjusted and set so that the width control members 4b face each other. By disposing the roll paper 10 between the right width restricting member 4 a and the left width restricting member 4 b, the horizontal movement of the roll paper 10 is restricted. At this time, the back surface of the cover member 2 abuts on the circumferential surface of the roll paper 10. Thus, as shown in FIG. 2, the roll paper 10 is set in the roll paper holder 100.

  Next, an operation of pulling out the paper from the roll paper 10 set in the roll paper holder 100 and arranging the paper 10a between the right paper placement member 6a and the left paper placement member 6b and the plate 5 will be described. FIG. 5 is an explanatory view for explaining an operation of arranging the paper 10 a drawn out between the right paper placement member 6 a and the left paper placement member 6 b and the plate 5. A gap G formed between the right paper placement member 6a and the left paper placement member 6b, with the paper 10a pulled out of the roll paper 10 being pinched with fingers near the center of the tip of the paper 10a of the roll paper 10 The tip is pulled up upward U indicated by the arrow so as to pass. The paper 10a is passed through the gap G in a state where the tip is pinched, collected at both ends in the width direction at the center, and after being allowed to pass through the gap G, the right paper placement member 6a and the left paper are released. It is placed on the placement member 6b. At this time, the plate 5 is also pulled up by the force for pulling up the tip of the paper 10a. Then, after confirming that the paper 10a is placed on the right paper placement member 6a and the left paper placement member 6b, when the paper 10a is released from the finger, the plate 5 is lowered by its own weight. As the plate 5 is lowered, the plate 5 is placed on the paper 10a placed on the right paper placement member 6a and the left paper placement member 6b, and the paper 10a is held down by its own weight.

  Thus, as shown in FIG. 6, the paper 10 a is disposed between the right paper placement member 6 a and the left paper placement member 6 b and the plate 5. At this time, the leading end of the paper 10 a is sandwiched between the right paper placement member 6 a and the left paper placement member 6 b and the plate 5. By sandwiching the tip of the paper 10a between the right paper placement member 6a and the left paper placement member 6b and the plate 5, the position of the tip of the paper 10a is clarified, eliminating the trouble of finding the tip. it can. That is, in order to pull out the paper 10a from the roll paper holder 100, it is only necessary to pinch and pull out the tip of the paper 10a appearing in the notch shape portion C with a finger. Then, the tip of the paper 10a is pinched and pulled out of the notch shape portion C, and the paper 10a having a desired length is pulled out of the roll paper 10.

  Next, the operation of drawing out and cutting the drawn paper 10a of the desired length will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 7 is an explanatory view for explaining how the paper 10a of a desired length is pulled out from the roll paper 10 set in the roll paper holder 100 and is cut. FIG. 7 (a) shows a left side view immediately before pulling out the paper 10a and pulling it up rearward D, and FIG. 7 (b) shows a left side view after cutting the pulled out paper 10a.

  Referring to FIG. 7 (a), the pulled out paper 10a is pinched by a finger (not shown) and cut by the cutting blade 7 while being pulled upward and rearward D from one end. At this time, the peripheral surface of the roll paper 10 is in contact with the central region R of the cover member 2, so that the roll paper 10 rotates even if the paper 10a is pulled upward and backward D by the braking action of the contact surface. Is reduced. Therefore, it becomes easy to cut the paper 10a with one hand. That is, since the roll paper 10 and the cover member 2 do not easily move when the paper 10a is cut, the paper 10a can be cut with one hand without holding the cover member 2. Further, since the taken out paper 10a is cut while being pressed by the plate 5, when the paper 10a is applied to the cutting blade 7, the paper 10a is pressed from above. Then, the paper 10a is pressed against the cutting blade 7 and continuously pulled in the upper back D, whereby the paper 10a of a desired length is cut.

  After cutting the paper 10a of the desired length, the tip of the paper 10a is released, and as shown in FIG. 7B, the plate 5 raised against the paper 10a is lowered by its own weight. Then, the tip of the new paper 10a that appears after cutting is also held by the right paper placement member 6a and the left paper placement member 6b and the plate 5 while the plate 5 is lowered. Even when the tip of the paper 10 a is caught on the cutting blade 7, the plate 5 is lowered after cutting so that the tip of the paper 10 a is pulled away from the cutting blade 7. In this way, the leading end of the paper 10a appears in the notch shape portion C at the next use. Since the leading end of the paper 10a appears in the notch shape portion C, the trouble of searching for the leading end of the paper 10a becomes unnecessary.

  Further, as the paper 10a is consumed, the diameter of the roll paper 10 becomes smaller. According to the roll paper holder 100 of the present embodiment, even if the diameter of the roll paper 10 becomes smaller, the back surface of the cover member 2 keeps in contact with the circumferential surface of the roll paper 10. Further, even if the diameter of the roll paper 10 is reduced, the leading end of the paper 10 a pulled out from the roll paper 10 is held between the right paper placement member 6 a and the left paper placement member 6 b and the plate 5. Further, even if the diameter of the roll paper 10 becomes smaller, the distance between the circumferential surface of the roll paper 10 and the right paper placement member 6a and the left paper placement member 6b hardly changes, so the right paper placement member 6a and It is difficult for the paper 10a to fall from the left paper placement member 6b.

  As described above, according to the roll paper holder of the present embodiment, rotation of the roll paper is suppressed when drawing and cutting a paper of a desired length from the set roll paper as in the conventional roll paper holder. Therefore, even if the user does not press the cutting and pressing plate, the paper of a predetermined length can be cut with one hand. In addition, since the leading end of the paper is sandwiched between the right paper placement member and the left paper placement member and the plate, the leading end of the paper can be immediately found in the cutout shape without searching for the leading end of the paper.

  Heretofore, an embodiment of the roll paper holder according to the present invention has been described. The embodiment of the roll paper holder according to the present invention is not limited to the embodiment as described above, and can be appropriately modified without departing from the scope of the invention.
