Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (Field of Industrial Application) The present invention relates to a toilet paper holder.

(Prior Art) Conventionally, as a holder for supporting a roll of toilet paper, a holding shaft is removably attached to a stay fixed to a wall, and a toilet paper roll (hereinafter referred to as The roll P1 in use is rotatably fitted in the
Above the cutter is a rotatably supported cutter.

In addition, instead of holding the center core of the roll P1 with the shaft of a paper holder, the roll P1 is held with a box case 31 that rotatably supports a cutter 32 on the top, as shown in FIG. Some support storage. This paper holder has the advantage that it can also be used with coreless rolls.

In addition, the applicant has filed a patent application for
- We are proposing a paper holder No. 178570 (Utility Model Publication No. 1-81993). This paper holder has a movable storage member that is rotatably supported inside the main body case and has a storage recess that can store the roll P1 in use. When replacing rolls, the movable storage member rotates and overlaps the two core discharge holes provided on the side wall of the same member and the bottom of the main body case, and the core of the used roll is discharged from the discharge hole. At the same time, the spare roll P2 that has been supported until then is dropped into the storage recess, which has the advantage that the spare roll P2 can be stored and the roll can be easily replaced.

(Problem that the invention aims to solve) However, with conventional paper holders, when cutting paper, one hand pulls the paper, and the other hand holds the cutting edge of the cutter, which is rotatably supported. It was necessary to hold down the part, and it was necessary to use both hands at the same time when using it. If you try to cut with only one hand, not only will the cutting blade of the cutter oscillate, making it difficult to cut, but you will also be unable to adjust the amount of paper rewound, which will result in excessive paper being pulled out, making it unnecessary to use paper. In addition, paper pieces are scattered inside the toilet booth due to forceful tearing.

In addition, as described above, in the paper holder structured to store and support the roll P1 in the box case,
After cutting the pulled paper with the cutting edge of the cutter, the tip of the cut paper may end up entering the box case through the drawer opening.
The case cover has to be opened, the tip of the paper that has entered the box case must be picked out from inside the box case, and the paper must be pulled out of the box case from the paper drawer opening, which is inconvenient in use. It was hot.

The present invention was devised in view of the above-mentioned problems of the prior art, and its purpose is to make it possible to cut paper even when using only one hand in the same manner as when using both hands. To provide a toilet paper holder which can be removed, suppresses the amount of excessive draw-out, and prevents the tip of the cut toilet paper from entering into a box case from a draw-out opening.

(Means for Solving the Problems) In order to achieve the above object, the toilet paper holder of the present invention includes a holding member that rotatably holds the roll, and a free end unwound from the toilet paper. a cutter having a cutting edge capable of cutting the toilet paper; and a clamping member disposed opposite to the cutting edge of the cutter and capable of clamping the free end of the toilet paper in cooperation with the cutter,
At least one of the cutter and the clamping member is provided so as to be able to be separated from each other, and a biasing member that biases in the clamping direction is engaged with the cutter or the clamping member.

Further, the holding member and the clamping member may be integrally formed to constitute a part of the main body case that stores the toilet paper, and the cutter may be pivotally supported for rotation with respect to the main body case.

(Function) The cutter or the clamping member, either one of which is biased by the biasing member, clamps the free end unwound from the toilet paper between the cutting edge of the cutter and the clamping member with a predetermined biasing force. . Therefore, if you pull the free end of the paper downward against the biasing force with one hand, and then pull the free end in the cutting direction with the other hand, the paper will be easily cut because it is held by the biasing force. be done. At this time, the cut end of the paper on the roll side is held between the cutter and the holding member, so it will not be pulled out excessively, and
On the other hand, the cut end will not get inside the case.

Further, a notch 20 partially covered by the cutter 15 is provided in the front part of the bottom surface 4 of the main body case 1 so as to communicate with the first core discharge hole 5 provided in the bottom surface 4. .

As shown in FIG. 2, the toilet paper holder of this embodiment is covered with a cover 21 rotatably attached to the wall. Same cover 2
1 opens the loading hole 9 of the main body case 1 by pivoting upward around the pivoted portion.

Next, the operation of the toilet paper holder configured as described above will be explained.

In FIG. 2, the tip of the leaf spring 18 contacts the proximal end 16 of the cutter 15 in a curved state and biases the cutting edge 17 of the cutter 15 in the clamping direction, so that after the cut is made, The leading end of the toilet paper is held between the cutting edge 17 of the cutter 15 and the holding front part 4a with a predetermined biasing force without entering the main body case 1.
In this state, if you pull the tip of the toilet paper downwards with only one hand against the biasing force without pressing the cutter 15, the paper will be rewound from the roll of toilet paper, but after being pulled out, the inertia Even if the roll is rotated by force, the paper is held between the cutter 15 and the holding front part 4a, so the amount of unwinding is suppressed, and the paper is not unwinded excessively.

When the stretched paper is pulled upward to cut, the biasing force acts to suppress the swinging of the cutting blade 17 of the cutter 15, and the cutting blade 17 and the clamping front surface are Since the paper is held in a pinched state with 4a, the paper can be cut with only one hand without applying excessive force. When pulling out the paper again after it has been cut, the cutter 15 can be removed by pinching the part of the paper that faces the notch 20 at the tip of the toilet paper held between the cutting blade 17 and the holding front part 4a. You can easily pull it out without having to lift it.
Further, as shown in FIG. 5, the cutter 15 is opened and rotated clockwise against the biasing force of the leaf spring 18, and the proximal end 16 of the cutter 15 is placed below the shaft portion 15a which is the fulcrum. When it comes into contact with the spring 18,
The cutter 15 is held in an open state by the biasing force of the leaf spring 18, so when the tip of the new roll is picked out after the roll is replaced, there is no need to support the cutter 15 with one hand, and the cutter 15 can be easily picked out.

In the toilet paper holder of this embodiment, the cutter 15 is rotatably supported and biased, and the clamping member has the front part of the bottom surface 4 of the main body case 1 as the clamping front part 4a. 15 may be fixed, a clamping member may be rotatably provided between the cutter 15 and the front lower part of the main body case 1, and this may be biased by a biasing member. Alternatively, both the cutter 15 and the clamping member may be rotatably provided, and biased by a biasing member that biases them in the direction of clamping each other. Furthermore, the holding member and the holding member may be provided separately.

Note that this invention is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiments, and can be arbitrarily modified without departing from the spirit of this invention.

Effects of the Invention Since the present invention is configured as detailed above, it produces excellent effects as described below.

(b) Even if you use only one hand to pull out the toilet paper and rewind it without holding down the cutter with the other hand, the paper is held by the biasing force of the biasing member, so it will not be affected by inertial force. This prevents the excess free end from being unrolled, and the amount of toilet paper consumed does not increase unnecessarily.

(b) Pull out the free end of the paper with one hand,
Even if the paper is subsequently cut, the paper is held between the cutter and the holding member, so that the paper can be cut neatly without the need for excessive force. Therefore,
There are no torn pieces of paper scattered inside the toilet booth like in the past.

(C) After being cut, the leading edge of the paper is held between the cutting edge of the cutter and the clamping member with a certain clamping force, so the leading edge of the paper is pulled into the holder through the drawer opening. Never.
