Description

[Detailed description of the invention] (Field of industrial application) The present invention relates to a paper holder that is installed mainly in toilets in department stores, movie theaters, etc. used by a large number of people, and in kitchens of ordinary homes. The present invention relates to an improvement in a paper holder that stores roll papers in the vertical direction so that they can be used sequentially starting from the lowest position.

(Prior Art) In general, paper holders that store a plurality of roll papers vertically so that they can be used sequentially starting from the lowest position are known, for example, as disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 57-4044 and Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 52 A paper holder for a toilet disclosed in Publication No. 49170 is known.

That is, as shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, the former case has a notch 28 for taking out the paper and a cutting blade for cutting the paper at the lower end of the case 27 that can vertically accommodate a plurality of toilet papers 26 laid down. 29
A partition plate 30 for supporting and placing spare toilet paper 26 is slidably provided on the case 27, and the toilet paper 26 at the lowest position is rotatably supported by the bottom plate 31 of the case 27. This is what I did.

Although not shown, the latter has an opening for taking out the paper, a cutting blade for cutting the paper, and a paper core storage chamber for roll paper, respectively, at the lower end of the case that accommodates a plurality of toilet papers. A roller for receiving and supporting spare toilet paper is swingably provided inside the case, and the toilet paper at the lowest position is rotatably supported by the bottom plate of the case.

(Problem to be solved by the invention) In the former case, since the front end of the bottom plate 31 of the case 27 is sloped downward, even though the toilet paper 26 is supported by the bottom plate 31,
When the toilet paper is pulled out, it is sandwiched between the bottom plate 31 and the inner surface of the cover 32 of the case 27, so that it does not jump upward and becomes stable. Therefore, toilet paper 2
It is now possible to omit the shaft for rotatably supporting 6.

However, when the toilet paper 26 is rotated, it receives a large amount of resistance, which makes it impossible to draw out the paper 26 smoothly, and also causes problems such as the toilet paper 26 being cut midway through the process of being pulled out. If the toilet paper 26 is cut inside the case 27 while it is being pulled out, it is necessary to open the cover 32 of the case 27 and pull out the starting end of the roll paper 26 again, which is extremely troublesome. . In particular, since perforations are formed in the toilet paper 26 at regular intervals so that it can be easily cut, the above problem becomes even more pronounced.

In addition, in the former case, when the toilet paper 26 at the lowest position is used up and a spare toilet paper 26 is to be replaced, the user inserts a finger into a long hole 33 formed in the side plate of the case 27 to support the spare toilet paper. Next, open the cover 32 and remove the paper core 34 from the bottom plate 31, then pull out the partition plate 30, move the spare toilet paper 26 downward, and then pull out the starting end of the toilet paper 26 from the notch 28. At the same time, the partition plate 30 and cover 32 must be restored to their original state,
The operation of replacing the toilet paper 26 was extremely complicated.

On the other hand, even in the latter case, since the bottom plate of the case slopes downward toward the front, the same problem as the former will occur.

In addition, the latter has a paper core storage chamber formed at the lower end of the case, and is configured to accommodate the paper core on the bottom plate, but when storing the paper core, it is necessary to insert your hand through the opening for taking out the paper. The paper core on the bottom plate had to be inserted into the storage chamber, making it difficult to store the paper core easily. In particular, since a cutting blade is provided near the opening for taking out the paper, there is a risk of injury to the cutting blade when storing the paper core, which poses a safety problem.

Furthermore, the latter has an appropriately structured interlocking mechanism inside the case, and by operating this mechanism, the paper core in the paper core storage chamber can be taken out and the toilet paper can be replaced, so the structure is extremely simple. There were also problems in that it was complicated, prone to failure, and increased in cost.

The present invention was devised to solve the above problems, and its purpose is to make it possible to always draw out the roll paper smoothly and smoothly, and to make it extremely simple and easy to replace the roll paper and remove the paper core. We provide a paper holder that can be used for any purpose.

(Means for Solving the Problems) In order to achieve the above object, the paper holder of the present invention has a roll paper inlet on the top surface, a roll paper outlet on the lower front surface, and a plurality of paper holders. A case body that can accommodate roll papers horizontally and in a stacked state, and a case body that is provided in the case body so that it can be pulled out in a horizontal direction, and that can support and place roll papers other than the roll paper at the lowest position in the case body when inserted. , a partition member capable of dropping and supplying the supported roll paper onto the bottom plate of the case body when being pulled out;
When the cover is closed, the front cover is held in a vertical position and forms a slit-shaped guide hole for pulling out paper between the front end of the bottom plate of the case body and is equipped with a blade that can cut the paper pulled out from the guide hole. and a bottom plate of the case body,
A concave curved surface is formed in order to support and place the roll paper horizontally and freely rotatable, and the center of the concave curved surface is depressed downward to form a paper core storage chamber in which the paper core of the roll paper falls under its own weight. A part of the paper core storage chamber is opened to the outside so that the stored paper core can be taken out.

(Function) The paper holder is attached to the wall of the toilet, for example, with double-sided adhesive tape or screws, and a plurality of roll papers are housed in the case body in a sideways and stacked state.
The spare roll paper is supported by the partition, and the roll paper at the lowest position is supported by the bottom plate of the case body.

When in use, the starting end of the roll paper on the bottom plate is pulled out by a predetermined length through the slit-shaped guide hole formed between the front cover and the front end of the bottom plate, and then pulled out by the blade part formed on the front cover. disconnect.

Furthermore, since the roll paper is pulled out while being guided by a slit-shaped guide hole, no matter which direction the roll paper is wound, if it is pulled out through the guide hole, it can be cut by the blade of the front cover. I can do it. Further, since the roll paper is supported and placed on the concavely curved bottom plate, when the roll paper is pulled out, it is rotated in a stable position at the center of the bottom plate without receiving any resistance. Therefore, the roll paper can be smoothly and smoothly pulled out. Furthermore, since the front cover is held in a vertical position when cutting the roll paper, the roll paper can be easily and reliably cut with one hand. When the roll paper on the bottom plate is completely consumed, the paper core falls under its own weight into a paper core storage chamber formed in the center of the bottom plate and is automatically stored therein.

On the other hand, when replacing the roll paper, the partition is pulled out and the spare roll paper on the partition is dropped and supplied onto the bottom plate.

Furthermore, the paper core on the bottom plate automatically falls into the paper core storage chamber due to its own weight, and supplying the roll paper onto the bottom plate can be done by simply pulling out the partition, making it easy to replace the roll paper with one touch. It can be done easily.

(Example) Hereinafter, an example of the present invention will be described in detail based on the drawings.

An outlet port 11 is formed respectively.

As shown in FIG. 3, the bottom plate 9 of the case body 1 is formed into a concave curved shape in order to rotatably support and place the roll paper horizontally, and the center part of the concave curved surface is provided with the roll paper. 5 paper core 12
A paper core storage chamber 13 is formed to accommodate the paper core. The paper core storage chamber 13 is formed by recessing the center part of the concave curved surface downward in a U-shape, and the front and rear widths of the paper core storage chamber 13 are slightly larger than the outer diameter of the paper core 12. It is large, and its width in the left and right direction is slightly longer than the length of the paper core 12. Also, on both sides of the paper core storage chamber 13, there are paper cores 1 accommodated therein.
It is open to the outside so that 2 can be taken out.

Therefore, when the roll paper 5 on the bottom plate 9 is consumed, the paper core of the roll paper 26 automatically falls into the paper core storage chamber 13 due to its own weight and is stored therein.

In FIGS. 1 and 2, reference numeral 14 indicates a peep hole drilled in the front plate 6 for checking the spare roll paper 5, and reference numeral 15 indicates a peep hole formed in the left and right side plates 7 for checking the roll paper 5 in use. A notch for checking the remaining amount; 16 is a container for small items such as air fresheners, deodorants, sanitary products, etc. formed between the back plate 8 and the bottom plate 9; 17 is a double-sided adhesive affixed to the back side of the back plate 8. The tape 18 is formed in the front plate 6 and the side plate 7, and is a long hole for slidably supporting the partition body 3, which will be described later.

The upper cover 2 is rotatably attached to the upper end of the case body 1 by a shaft 19, and opens and closes the slot 10 of the case body 1.

The partition body 3 has a plate shape with a slightly rounded rear end, as shown in FIG. A handle 20 is formed in a continuous manner on the part so that it can be pulled out toward the front. The size of the partition 3 is such that when it is inserted into the case body 1, it can support and place the spare roll paper 5 on the top, and when it is pulled out toward the front, the roll paper 5 on the top can fall onto the bottom plate 9. is set to .

The front cover 4 has an upper end that is connected to the case body 1.
It is rotatably mounted on a shaft 21 to open and close the outlet 11 at the front middle part of the outlet 11, and is held in a vertical position when it is closed, and a slit-shaped guide hole for drawing out paper is provided between the front end of the bottom plate 9 and the front end of the bottom plate 9. 22.

That is, as shown in FIG. 5, the front cover 4 has both ends bent rearward at right angles, a bulge 23 is formed at the bottom of the bent portion, and this is a notch formed on both sides of the front end of the bottom plate 9. 24, the front cover 4 is held in a vertical position, and a slit-shaped guide hole 22 is formed between the front cover 4 and the front end of the bottom plate 9.

Further, a chevron-shaped blade portion 25 for cutting the roll paper 5 pulled out from the guide hole 22 is formed at the lower end of the front cover 4.

Next, the function of the paper holder will be explained.

The paper holder is attached, for example, to the wall of a toilet using double-sided adhesive tape 17 provided on the back plate 8 of the case body 1.

When storing the roll paper 5 in the paper holder, open the upper cover 2 and open the partition 3.
is pulled out, two pieces of roll paper 5 are loaded sideways from the input port 10, and then the upper cover 2 and partition body 3 are restored to their initial positions. Then, the spare roll paper 5 at the upper part is supported by the partition body 3, and the roll paper 5 at the lower part is rotatably supported by the bottom plate 9. Note that when the roll paper 5 is housed in the case body 1, the winding direction may be either.

When using the roll paper 5, the front cover 4 is opened, the starting end of the roll paper 5 on the bottom plate 9 is taken out from the opening 11, and the front cover 4 is closed. Then, the roll paper 5 is inserted into the guide hole 22 formed between the front cover 4 and the front end of the bottom plate 9. Therefore, in this state, the roll paper 5 is pulled out by a predetermined length through the guide hole 22 and cut by the blade portion 25 of the front cover 4.

Since the roll paper 5 is supported on the concavely curved bottom plate 9, it rotates in a stable position at the center of the bottom plate 9 when being pulled out, and does not receive any resistance during rotation. Moreover, the front cover 4 is
Since it is held in a vertical position, the roll paper 5 can be easily and reliably cut with one hand.

When the roll paper 5 on the bottom plate 9 is consumed, the paper core 12 of the roll paper 5 falls into the paper core storage chamber 13 due to its own weight and is automatically stored. This paper core 12 can be easily removed from the side of the paper core storage chamber 13.

On the other hand, when replacing the roll paper 5, the partition 3 is pulled out toward the front and the spare roll paper 5 on the partition 3 is dropped onto the bottom plate 9. Thereafter, the starting end of the roll paper 5 is taken out to the outside through the guide hole 22 by the same operation as described above.

In addition, in the above embodiment, the case body 1 is
Since the case body 1 is configured to accommodate only one spare roll paper 5, the case body 1 is not limited to that of the above embodiment. For example, the upper end of the case body 1 may be extended upward to store a spare roll paper. Alternatively, a rectangular cylindrical cartridge case (not shown) may accommodate a plurality of roll papers 5 at the upper end of the case body 1.
It is also possible to attach it detachably.

Further, in the above embodiment, the paper core storage chamber 13
is formed to a size that can accommodate only one paper core 12, but in other embodiments, the paper core storage chamber 1
3 may be formed to be elongated in the downward direction so that a plurality of paper cores 12 can be accommodated there.

Further, in the above embodiment, the paper holder is attached to the wall of the toilet with double-sided adhesive tape 17, but the means for attaching the paper holder to the wall is limited to that of the above embodiment. Instead, any means may be used as long as the paper holder can be attached to the wall surface. For example, the paper holder may be attached to a wall using screws.

However, in the above embodiment, the partition 3 has a plate shape with a slightly rounded rear end, and is inserted and supported in the elongated hole 18 of the case body 1.
The structure of the case 1 and the means for attaching it to the case body 1 are not limited to those of the above-mentioned embodiments. Any structure and attachment means may be used as long as it can be dropped.

In addition, in the above embodiment, the front cover 4
The bulge 23 formed on this is inserted into the notch 2 of the bottom plate 9.
Although the front cover 4 is held in the vertical position by elastically locking the front cover 4, the means for holding the front cover 4 in the vertical position is not limited to that of the above embodiment, and can be changed as appropriate. It is.

(Effects of the invention) Since the present invention has the above configuration, it has the following advantages.

(1) The bottom plate of the case body is formed into a concave curved surface to support the roll paper horizontally and freely, so when the roll paper is pulled out, it rotates while maintaining a stable position at the center of the bottom plate. There will be no big resistance. As a result, unlike conventional paper holders, the roll paper does not encounter great resistance during withdrawal, making it difficult to pull it out, or the roll paper is cut off in the middle of the drawer, and the roll paper can be pulled out all the way to the end. It can be done well and smoothly.

(2) A guide hole for drawing out the paper is formed between the front cover and the front end of the bottom plate, and the roll paper on the bottom plate is guided by the guide hole and pulled out to the outside, so the winding direction of the roll paper on the bottom plate is fixed. Regardless of which direction the front cover is facing, if it is pulled out through the guide hole, it can be reliably cut with the blade of the front cover. As a result, when storing the roll paper in the case body, there is no need to align the orientation each time, which is extremely convenient.

(3) Since the front cover is held in a vertical position when cutting the roll paper, the roll paper can be easily and easily cut with one hand.

(4) A paper core storage chamber is formed in the center of the bottom plate, and when the roll paper on the bottom plate is consumed, the paper core falls into the paper core storage chamber due to its own weight and is stored. The paper core can be automatically removed from the paper, which is extremely convenient. This also simplifies the operation of replacing the roll paper.

(5) A partition that can support spare roll paper is provided in the case body so that it can be pulled out, and when the partition is pulled out, the spare roll paper can be dropped and fed onto the bottom plate, so when replacing the roll paper, the partition can be removed. It is only necessary to pull out the roll paper, and replacing the roll paper is extremely simple and easy.

As mentioned above, the paper holder of the present invention has very practical utility.
