Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (Field of Industrial Application) This invention relates to a type of holder that is vertically fixed to a wall or the like and supports a toilet paper roll by placing it on a shelf.

(Prior art) Such a holder is known from Japanese Utility Model Application Publication No. 56-4497, and as shown in Figs. A semicircular-arc-shaped receiving shelf 2 that receives the lower half of the toilet paper roll P and places it horizontally is provided, and the upper end of the cover 3 that holds the toilet paper roll placed horizontally on the receiving shelf from above is mounted on the upper part of the fixed base plate 1 as a pivot. A retaining piece 5 is provided along both sides of the receiving shelf to prevent the toilet paper roll from moving in the axial direction from the receiving shelf and falling off.

(Problem to be solved by the invention) This is because the upper end of the cover 3 is pivoted 4 to the upper end of the fixed board 1, so the swing locus a of the lower end of the cover 3 is centered around the pivot point 4. It becomes a circular arc with a radius of R, and does not match the semicircular arc on the upper surface of the receiving shelf 2.

Therefore, as shown in FIG. 4, when the diameter of the toilet paper roll P is large, the cover 3 covers the roll P and holds the roll on the receiving shelf 2, so the paper can be pulled out from the roll without any problem. Fifth
As shown in the figure, when the diameter of the roll P becomes smaller, the cover 3 is no longer able to hold the roll, and when the paper is pulled out, the roll also falls off from the shelf.

Particularly recently, toilet paper rolls without a core have become popular, with no core tube in the center and the paper starting from the center, but it is necessary to hold this toilet paper roll so that it can be used until the end. That is impossible.

Furthermore, as the diameter of the toilet paper roll becomes smaller and its own weight becomes lighter, when the paper is pulled out, the roll bounces around on the shelf, jumps over the retaining pieces 5 installed at both ends of the shelf, and falls off the shelf. There are things to do.

(Means for solving the problem) Therefore, the present invention provides an eaves section that extends above the shelf on the top of the fixed board that is fixed perpendicularly to the mounting surface, and the toilet paper roll placed horizontally on the shelf. The upper end of the cover that covers the is pivotally attached to the tip of the eaves part, and the lower end of the cover is suspended directly above the upper surface of the receiving shelf, and the lower end of the cover is pivoted from the hanging position of the cover to the upper surface of the previous receiving shelf. An upward arc along the trajectory,
Further, the cover is characterized in that on both sides thereof, there are provided stopper pieces that face each end face of the toilet paper roll placed horizontally on the receiving shelf.

(Function) Each time a toilet paper roll placed horizontally on a tray is pulled out, the force of pulling out the paper pushes the cover, which has side pieces on both sides, from the back side and swings it along the rocking trajectory of the lower end of the cover. It rolls up the upward arcuate surface of the ivy tray, and when the paper stops being pulled out, it returns to its original position together with the cover.

(Embodiment) In the embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, 11 indicates a fixed substrate, 12 indicates a receiving shelf, and 13 indicates a cover. The fixed substrate 11 and the receiving shelf 12 are integral, and are molded from synthetic resin or a metal plate. The same applies to the cover 13.

The fixed substrate 11 integrally has an eaves portion 14 projecting above the receiving shelf 12 at its upper portion. Further, the cover 13 integrally has side pieces 15, 15 on both sides.

The width of the fixed substrate, the shelf, and the eaves are slightly larger than the width or axial length of the toilet paper roll P, and in this embodiment, the side pieces 15 of the cover 13,
15 is approximately equal to the width of the eaves. and,
A short shaft 15' protrudes from the inner surface of the upper end of each side piece 15, and the cover 13 is inserted into the circular hole 14' formed on both sides of the eave part 14. It is pivotally attached to the front end so as to be swingable, and the lower end hangs down directly above the upper surface of the receiving shelf 12 (see solid line in FIG. 2).

The amount of overhang of the eaves portion 14 is approximately the radius of a new toilet paper.

The shaft 15',
The locus of the lower end of the cover 13 swinging around 15' as a fulcrum
An upward arcuate surface 16 along a' is provided. The length of this arcuate surface 16 is such that when a new toilet paper roll is placed horizontally on a shelf and the paper is pulled out as shown in Fig. 3, the roll resists the weight of the cover 13 due to the force of pulling out the paper. cover 1 to prevent it from rolling along the arcuate surface 16 and falling off the front end of the arcuate surface.
3. Determine according to the weight of both side pieces 15, 15. Therefore, if the weight of the cover 13 is light, the arcuate surface 16 can be made long, and if it is heavy, it can be made shorter. In addition, cover 13 covers the blade for cutting the paper that has been pulled out.
It may be formed along the lower edge of. In addition, the fixed board 11
A hole 17 is provided in the hole 17, and a screw or the like is passed through the hole 17 to fix it to the wall surface.

As a result, when the toilet paper roll placed horizontally on the receiving shelf 12 pulls out the paper, the cover 13, which has side pieces 15, 15 on both sides, is pushed from the back side by the force of the roll and is swung while the upwardly facing arcuate surface 16 of the receiving shelf is pulled out. When the paper stops being pulled out, it returns to its original position together with the cover 13. In this case, the lower end of the cover is close to the arcuate surface 16, and the lower end of the cover is close to the arcuate surface 16.
6 is along the locus of the lower end of the cover when the cover swings, so the cover 13 can be used even when the diameter of the toilet paper roll is initially large, or when the diameter becomes very small after being used as shown in Fig. 2. Always cover and hold the roll, even when the toilet paper roll is empty, and hold the roll until it runs out of paper, even if it is a toilet paper roll without a core.

Also, as the paper is used to a certain extent and the diameter becomes smaller and the weight of the toilet paper roll becomes lighter, the rotational speed of the roll when pulling out the paper increases, causing the roll to push the cover 13 from the back side and swing. While flipping up the arcuate surface 16, the cover 13 has side pieces 15 on both sides opposite to both ends of the roll,
15, the side pieces 15, 15 of the cover, which swing following the roll, prevent the roll from jumping out laterally from the receiving shelf.

In this embodiment, as described above, the short shaft 15' facing the inner surface of the upper end of the side piece 15 is inserted into the circular hole 14' on each side of the eave part, and the cover is pivotally attached to the tip of the eave part. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and for example, a circular hole may be provided at the upper end of each side piece 15, and a series of shafts may be passed through the circular holes on each side of each side piece and the eaves portion to be pivotally connected.

(Effects of the invention) According to the invention, even a toilet paper roll without a core, in which the paper starts rolling from the center, can be held horizontally on a tray until the paper runs out; To provide a holder that can hold a roll without dropping it from a receiving shelf even if the roll becomes small and the paper bounces around when being pulled out.
