Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an improvement of a roll paper holder for storing roll paper wound in a roll shape such as toilet paper.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A conventional roll paper holder of this type is shown in FIG. In the figure, in the roll paper holder 1b, the upper opening of the holder body 2b is openably and closably sealed at the rear upper edge of the box-shaped holder body 2b that stores the roll paper 20 with the roll axis oriented horizontally. The lid 3b is pivotally supported via a hinge 4b.

Further, on the front upper edge of the holder body 2b,
A paper receiving part 6b for sandwiching the take-out end 23, which is the tip of the take-out piece 22 drawn out from the roll-shaped part, with the lid front end part 5b of the lid 3b in the closed state is provided so as to project forward. . That is, the paper pedestal portion 6b and the lid front end portion 5
A paper take-out port 7b is formed between it and b. The bottom surface 8b in the holder body 2b supports the stored roll paper 20 at a fixed position, so that the lowest point of the bottom surface 8b is substantially the center of the holder body 2b in the front-rear direction (that is, the one-dot chain line C). It is formed in a curved surface so that it becomes a passing position).

According to this roll paper holder 1b, first, the lid 3b is opened to open the upper opening of the holder body 2b, and then the take-out end 23 is placed on the paper receiving part 6b. , Sideways roll paper 20
By simply dropping the paper into the holder main body 2b, closing the lid 3b, and holding the take-out end 23 between the take-out end 23 and the front end 5b of the lid, the replenishment work of the new roll paper 20 is completed.

Therefore, this roll paper holder 1
Compared to a roll paper holder having a structure in which the core material 21 of the roll paper 20 is fitted to a support shaft (not shown) and hooked, the roll paper 20 b
It can be said that the replacement and replenishment work of is easy.

When the stored roll paper 20 is used, after pulling out the necessary amount from the paper take-out port 7b, the lid body 3b is pressed by hand and the space between the front end portion 5b of the lid and the paper pedestal portion 6b. In the state where the take-out piece 22 is strongly sandwiched, the necessary take-out piece 22 is cut out by using the tip of the paper receiving part 6b as a cutter. At this time, the roll diameter decreases with the consumption of the roll paper 20.

[0007]

As described above, the roll diameter decreases with the consumption of the roll paper 20, so that the roll paper 20 moves along the one-dot chain line C in FIG. 6 due to the consumption. For example, the diameter is reduced from the position of the solid line to the position of the chain double-dashed line, and finally only the core material 21 remains on the bottom surface 8b. That is, the length of the take-out piece 22 from the holding position by the front end portion 5b of the lid and the paper receiving portion 6b to the roll-shaped portion becomes relatively long with the consumption of the roll paper 20.

When the take-out piece 22 becomes long in this way, the take-out piece 22 hangs down due to its own weight. In addition, since the roll paper 20 is rollable on the bottom surface 8b, the take-out end 23 finally comes off the holding position and the holder body 2
There was the inconvenience of falling into b. In particular, when installed in a toilet unit integrated with the bath unit, the roll paper 20 itself becomes heavy due to the moisture contained in the bath unit, and the above-mentioned inconvenience is more likely to occur.

On the other hand, the take-out end 23 after being cut out is not exposed because it is hidden between the front end portion 5b of the lid and the paper pedestal portion 6b, and the lid body 3b is opened to grip the tip. At this time, the take-out end 23 may fall into the holder body 2b. In such a case, it is necessary to open the lid body 3b further to search for the take-out end 23 and take it out.

Therefore, when the roll paper 20 is consumed, the roll paper 20 should always be carefully treated so that the take-out end 23 does not drop into the holder body 2b.
Had to be pulled out from the paper outlet 7b and cut out. As described above, it is extremely inconvenient if the roll paper holder 1b, which should be regularly used as daily necessities, cannot be used easily.

The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned problems of the prior art, and supports the stored roll paper in a stationary state and, even if the diameter of the roll becomes small due to consumption, rolls from the take-out end. By not changing the length of the roll paper up to the shape of the roll paper, it is possible to provide a roll paper holder that makes it difficult for the take-out end clamped between the front end of the lid and the paper tray to fall into the holder body. It is intended.

[0012]

In order to achieve the above object, a roll paper holder according to the present invention is capable of opening and closing an upper opening of the holder main body at the rear of the holder main body for storing roll paper in a horizontal state. A lid for axially supporting the lid is provided, and at the upper edge of the front portion of the holder body, a paper pedestal portion for sandwiching the take-out end of the roll paper with the front end portion of the closed lid body is provided, and the holder body A support body that supports the stored roll paper is provided in the lower part of the inside of the holder while tilting downward toward the front surface of the holder body.

Further, the roll paper holding surface at the front end portion of the lid body and / or the roll paper holding surface at the paper receiving portion is provided with a detent mechanism for restricting return of the held roll paper into the holder body. It is what

Further, a notch is formed in the roll paper holding surface at the front end of the lid.

A core material discharge port for discharging the core material of the roll paper is provided on the front part of the support or the front surface of the holder body facing the front part of the support.

[0016]

According to the roll paper holder of the present invention, the roll paper housed in the holder body is supported while rolling on the support body and stopped at the front surface of the holder body. Further, since the roll paper between the roll-shaped portion and the take-out end is in contact with the front surface inside the holder main body, it is difficult for the roll paper to drop due to the frictional force generated between them. Furthermore, as the roll diameter decreases due to the consumption of roll paper, the roll axis moves forward and approaches the paper pedestal, so the roll paper from the roll-shaped portion to the take-out end becomes extremely long. Absent.

Further, the take-out end of the roll paper sandwiched between the front end portion of the lid body and the paper receiving portion can be freely pulled out from the holder main body, while it can be returned into the holder main body by the detent mechanism. Securely locked in the regulating direction.

Further, since the take-out end of the roll paper on the paper cradle is exposed from the notch formed in the front end of the lid, the exposed take-out end can be opened without opening the lid. Is securely gripped and pulled out.

Then, as the roll paper is consumed, the core material rolled on the support body and guided to the front surface in the holder body is discharged from the core material discharge port.

FIG. 4 is a usage mode diagram showing a state when the paper is completely used, FIG. 4C is a usage mode diagram showing a mode in which a used core material is discharged, and FIG. FIG. 5 is a side sectional view showing an essential part of a roll paper holder according to another embodiment of the present invention.

However, constituent elements having the same functions as those of the conventional roll paper holder 1b shown in FIG. 6 are designated by the same reference numerals with new subscripts or different subscripts.

Roll paper holder 1 of this embodiment
As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the hinge 4 has a lid body 3 that opens and closes an upper opening of the holder body 2 at the upper edge of the rear portion of the square tube-shaped holder body 2 that houses the roll paper 20. It is pivoted through. At the upper edge of the front part of the holder body 2, a paper receiving part 6 for holding the take-out end 23 of the roll paper 20 between it and the lid front end part 5 of the closed lid 3 is formed to project forward. ing. A paper take-out port 7 is formed between the paper receiving part 6 and the lid front end part 5.

In particular, in this roll paper holder 1, a flat support plate 8 (support) for supporting the roll paper 20 is disposed in a lower portion inside the holder body 2 in an inclined state in which the support plate 8 descends forward. ing. Then, the roll paper 20 is housed in the holder body 2 and placed on the support plate 8 in a state where the roll axis thereof is in the sideways direction.

Further, on the lower surface (roll paper holding surface) of the lid front end portion 5 of the lid body 3, sawtooth-shaped detent protrusions 10 protruding downward and forward are provided in four places. Engagement grooves 11 that engage with the respective detent protrusions 10 in a loose-fitting manner are formed in the upper surface positions (roll paper holding surface) of the paper receiving portion 6 facing the detent protrusions 10. . That is, while the operation of pulling out the roll paper 20 from the paper outlet 7 is allowed, the holder main body 2
A detent mechanism that prevents the roll paper 20 from returning to the inside is composed of the detent protrusion 10 and the engaging groove 11.

A notch 12 is formed in the front surface of the lid body 3 and substantially in the center of the lid front end portion 5. Further, a core material discharge port 9 for discharging the core material 21 of the roll paper 20 is formed so as to open from the front surface of the holder body 2 facing the front portion of the support plate 8 to the left and right side surfaces. The vertical opening width W of the core material discharge port 9 is set to be slightly smaller than the outer diameter of the core material 21. This prevents the used core material 21 from falling from the core material discharge port 9 and scattered.

In a box-shaped container such as the roll paper holder 1, paper dust, dust and the like generated from the roll paper 20 are likely to collect at the bottom corners. Therefore, the front end of the support plate 8 and the front surface of the holder body 2 that faces the support plate 8 are not in close contact with each other, and a gap 13 is formed. Therefore, the paper dust, dust, and the like that have fallen onto the support plate 8 are naturally discharged to the outside through the gap portion 13, and a sanitary measure is taken.

The manner of use of the roll paper holder 1 constructed as described above will be described with reference to FIGS. In FIG. 3 (a), first, the lid 3 is opened to open the upper opening of the holder body 2, and then the roll paper 20 in the lateral direction is placed with the take-out end 23 placed on the paper receiving part 6. When the new roll paper 20 (shown by the two-dot chain line in the figure) is dropped into the holder body 2 and the lid body 3 is closed and the take-out end 23 is sandwiched between the lid front end portion 5 and the holder body 2, The front surface in 2 and the support plate 8 are respectively supported in a stationary state by line contact.

When the roll paper 20 stored is used, a necessary amount of the take-out piece 22 is taken out.
After pulling out from the paper, the lid 3 is pressed by hand, and the tip of the paper receiving tray 6 is used as a cutter in a state where the middle of the take-out piece 22 is sandwiched between the front end portion 5 of the lid and the paper receiving tray 6. A necessary amount of the extraction piece 22 is cut out and used. Of which
With the consumption of the roll paper 20, the roll diameter becomes smaller as shown by the solid line in the figure. At this time, the axial center position of the roll paper 20 gradually advances. Therefore, the length of the take-out piece 22 from the roll-shaped portion to the paper pedestal portion 6 does not change so much that it falls into the holder body 2 due to its own weight. In addition, the take-out piece 22 from the roll-shaped portion to the paper pedestal portion 6 is in contact with the front surface inside the holder body 2, and is held with a slight force due to the frictional force between them.

Therefore, this roll paper holder 1
According to this, it is possible to realize a configuration in which the take-out end 23 sandwiched between the lid front end portion 5 and the paper pedestal portion 6 is difficult to drop into the holder main body 2. Even if the detent protrusion 10 and the engagement groove 11 are omitted, a certain effect can be obtained with respect to the function of sandwiching the take-out end 23, but such detent protrusion 10 and the engagement groove 11 are exemplified. If a detent mechanism is provided, the take-out end 23 is restricted from returning to the holder main body 2 and more reliably locked.

When the roll paper 20 is used up and only the core material 21 remains, the core material 21 stops at the front surface of the holder main body 2 and is removed from the core material discharge port 9 as shown in FIG. 3B. Part exposed.

Then, in the cylinder of the core material 21 which is partially exposed,
For example, when a finger is inserted and pulled forward, the core material 21 is taken out as the deformed core material 21 a along the core material discharge port 9 as shown in FIG. 3C.

On the other hand, in the case where the take-out piece 22 is not cut out forward from the front ends of the lid front end portion 5 and the paper pedestal portion 6 because the take-out piece 22 is cut off orderly at the paper take-out opening 7 in the previous use. However, according to this roll paper holder 1, as shown in FIG.
Since the take-out end 23 on the paper pedestal portion 6 exposed from 2 is exposed, the user can easily grasp and pull out the exposed take-out end 23 with a finger.

Therefore, it is not necessary to open the lid 3 in order to pull out the take-out end 22, so that the take-out end 23 should be detached from the front end 5 of the lid and the paper pedestal 6 and fall into the holder body 2. There is no.

Although the core material discharge port 9 is formed on the front surface of the holder body 2 in the above embodiment, the position of the core material discharge port is not limited to that, and the roll paper shown in FIG. Like the holder 1a for use, for example, between the front end of the short-sized support plate 8a and the front surface of the holder body 2a facing this, a core material having a front-rear opening width W (the same size as the above-described upper and lower opening width W) is discharged. It may be formed by opening the outlet 9a downward. The core material discharge port 9a can, of course, deform the used core material 21 and take it out, and also has the function of a gap for discharging dust and paper dust. However, the opening width above and below or before and after the core material outlet is
The outer diameter of the core material 21 may be set to be larger than that of the core material 21, and the used core material 21 may drop from the core material discharge port.

The support of the present invention is not limited to the flat support plates 8 and 8a exemplified above, as long as it is inclined downwards toward the front, and as shown in FIG. 5, for example. It may be a curved support plate 8c that is curved downward, or a curved support plate (not shown) that is curved upward. Further, the present invention is not limited to the plate-shaped body, and a plurality of bar-shaped bodies may be arranged at intervals along the roll axis direction of the stored roll paper 20 and may be inclined downward toward the front. it can.

Then, as the detent mechanism of the present invention,
The detent protrusion 10 and the engagement groove 11 are not limited to the combination described above, and only the detent protrusion 10 may be provided. Alternatively, the detent projections may be provided on the upper surface of the paper pedestal portion 6 so as to face upward. Further, the shape of the detent protrusion is not limited to the sawtooth shape described above.

[0038]

According to the present invention, the roll paper housed in the holder body is supported in a stationary state by the support and the front surface inside the holder body. Also, as the roll diameter decreases due to consumption, the roll axis moves forward,
The length of the roll paper from the take-out end to the roll-shaped part does not change significantly. Therefore, it is possible to realize a roll paper holder that does not easily drop the take-out end of the roll paper sandwiched between the front end of the lid and the paper receiving part into the holder body.

Further, in the case of the structure provided with the detent mechanism,
The take-out end of the roll paper sandwiched between the front end of the lid and the paper pedestal can be securely locked in the direction that regulates the return to the holder body by the detent mechanism. Can be reliably prevented from falling into the holder body.

Further, in the case where the notch is formed at the front end of the lid, the take-out end of the roll paper exposed from the notch on the paper receiving part can be securely held with fingers without opening the lid. Can be gripped. After that, the grasped extraction end can be easily pulled out.

Then, in the case of the structure provided with the core material discharge port,
As the roll paper is consumed, the core material that rolls on the support body and is guided to the front surface in the holder body can be discharged from the core material discharge port.
