Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (Industrial Application Field) This invention relates to a toilet paper holder that rotatably supports a toilet paper roll.

(Prior Art) A conventional toilet paper holder has a length approximately equal to the axial length of the toilet paper between a pair of side plates facing each other at an interval approximately equal to the axial length of the toilet paper. A support shaft that can be passed through the inner circumference and shortened in length against the bias of a coil spring or a part of the plastic bellows tube is removably held, and the roll of toilet paper is held by the support shaft. It was rotatably supported between the side plates.

(Problem to be solved by the invention) According to the above holder, only one toilet paper can be supported between the side plates, and when that paper is used up, the next toilet paper to be used should be prepared nearby. must be devised accordingly,
It's time consuming.

(Means for Solving the Problems) Therefore, the present invention is such that the distance between the pair of opposing side plates of the holder is an integral multiple of two or more of the axial length of the toilet paper, and the toilet paper is placed on one of the side plates. A fixed support shaft passing through the inner periphery of the toilet paper with a length approximately equal to the axial length of is fixed with the free end facing the other side plate, and the length of the interval between the free end of the fixed shaft and the other side plate is A removable support shaft that can pass through the inner periphery of the toilet paper and whose length can be shortened against bias is removably held between the free end of the fixed shaft and the other side plate. shall be.

(Function) If the distance between the pair of side plates is twice the shaft length of the toilet paper, remove the removal support shaft, fit the toilet paper into the fixed support shaft from the free end, and attach the removal support shaft to the other toilet. It penetrates the toilet paper and is held between the free end of the fixed support shaft and the other side plate, and can support two toilet papers. Also, if the distance between the pair of side plates is three times the axial length of the toilet paper, one toilet paper can be held by a fixed support shaft, and two toilets can be held by a removable support shaft held between its free end and the other side plate. Can support paper.

(Embodiment) The illustrated embodiment includes a pair of opposing side plates 1a and 1b.
In this case, the interval between the two sides is slightly wider than twice the axial length of the toilet paper, and the intermediate connecting part 1 connecting the side plates 1a and 1b is fixed to the wall of the toilet with, for example, screws or nails. 2 is a fixed support shaft attached to one side plate 1a with the free end facing the other side plate 1b; 3
denotes a removable support shaft held between the free end of the fixed support shaft and the other side plate 1b, each having a length slightly longer than the axial length of the toilet paper.

A recess 4 that fits into the free end of the fixed support shaft 2 and one end of the removable support shaft 3 facing the free end is provided.
a and a convex portion 4b. A movable projection 6 projects from the other end of the removal support shaft by being pushed by the coil spring 5. Further, the other side plate 1b is provided with a recess 7 for receiving the movable protrusion 6 at a portion facing the free end of the fixed shaft.

The above-mentioned removal support shaft 3 was developed by the present applicant in 1983.
This is almost the same as the one proposed in Publication No. 156496.

To support the toilet paper, push the removal support shaft 3 toward the other side plate 1b to retract the movable protrusion 6 against the coil spring, shorten the entire length of the removal support shaft 3, and remove the free end of the fixed support shaft 2. Remove the support shaft 3 by disengaging the recess 4a and protrusion 4b at one end of the support shaft. Then, the inner periphery of one toilet paper is fitted into the fixed support shaft, and the inner periphery of the other toilet paper is inserted through the support shaft 3, and the movable protrusion 6 is pressed against the recess 7 of the other side plate. While retracting, one end of the removal support shaft may be opposed to the free end of the fixed support shaft, and the restoring force of the coil spring 5 may be used to fit the concave portion 4b and the convex portion 4b.

As a result, each support shaft 2, 3 can rotatably support one toilet paper on each side plate.

In this embodiment, the toilet paper supported by the fixed support shaft 2 is used first, and when the toilet paper supported by the fixed support shaft 2 runs out, it is removed and the toilet paper supported by the support shaft 3 is moved onto the fixed support shaft. It is planned that the next toilet paper will be removed and supported on the support shaft during use.

For this reason, a well-known holding plate 8 is pivotally attached to the connecting part 1 that connects both side plates, which covers the toilet paper supported on the fixed support shaft 2 from above and also serves as a blade plate when cutting the paper. Also, even if there is no toilet paper on the removable support shaft, the diameter of the fixed support shaft 2 is smaller than the diameter of the removable support shaft 3 in order to prevent the toilet paper on the fixed support shaft from moving onto the removable support shaft. It is made smaller than the diameter of.

As mentioned above, the distance between the side plates 1a and 1b should be about three or four times the axial length of the toilet paper, and in that case, the length of the removal support shaft 3 should be about twice the axial length of the toilet paper. , it can be made more than three times as large and can support a large number of toilet paper rolls.

Alternatively, the removal support shaft may be made of plastic and molded into a hollow shape, and at that time, a bellows tube portion may be provided on a part of the tube wall, and the length may be shortened by compressing the bellows tube portion against elasticity. can.

It is preferable that the toilet paper supported by this holder does not have a paper tube on the inner periphery of the roll, but if it has a paper tube, when the toilet paper on the fixed support shaft runs out, the remaining paper tube will be removed. The toilet paper can be removed by cutting it with a cutter or scissors, and then the toilet paper on the removal support shaft can be moved onto the fixed support shaft.

(Effects of the invention) According to the invention, spare toilet paper to be used next can be supported adjacent to the toilet paper currently in use, and when it runs out, the spare can be moved and used immediately. .
