Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a toilet paper holder, and more particularly, to a toilet paper holder having a toilet paper cutting mechanism.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, there has been a holder for a toilet paper which rotatably supports a rolled-up toilet paper on a wall surface of the toilet. As such a toilet paper holder, for example, one having a structure shown in FIG. 5 is generally used.

The toilet paper holder 101 shown in FIG. 5 has a substrate 102 fixed to the wall surface of the toilet with wood screws or the like, and a support erected upright from both sides of the substrate 102. Mainly composed of plates 103, 103, a removable rotating rod 104 inserted between the support plates 103, 103, and an arcuate plate body 105 rotatably mounted on the upper end of the substrate 102. It was done.

In the conventional toilet paper holder 101 having the above-mentioned structure, the rotating rod 104 removed from the holder 101 is provided at the core of the toilet paper T.
, Insert the rotary rod 104 into the holder 1 again in this state.
No. 01 is inserted between the support plates 103 and 103, and the toilet paper T is rotatably supported by the holder 101.

When the toilet paper T is used, the toilet paper T is pulled out from the holder 101 by a required length, and then the holder 10 is held with one hand.
The above-mentioned arcuate plate body 105 mounted on the upper end of 1 is pressed, and the toilet paper T pulled out by the other hand is pulled up vigorously upward, so that the tip portion 105a of the arcuate plate body 105 causes the toilet It was made to cut the paper T and obtain the required length of toilet paper T.

However, since the above-mentioned work of cutting the toilet paper T is a two-handed work, it is a difficult work for the handicapped person or the elderly, especially for persons with one hand handicap, and the cutting work is repeated several times. As a result, the toilet paper T having a required length or more cannot be pulled out from the holder 101, or the toilet paper T cannot be cut by the tip portion 105a of the arc-shaped plate body 105 attached to the holder 101, In some cases, the toilet paper T that has been pulled out may be torn off during the process.
In some cases, the toilet paper T is scattered around the holder 101, which spoils the appearance of the toilet.

In recent years, in order to facilitate the above-mentioned work of cutting the toilet paper T, there is a toilet paper T having perforations formed at appropriate intervals in the longitudinal direction. Even when the conventional toilet paper T is attached to the above-mentioned conventional holder 101, the arcuate plate 105 attached to the upper end of the holder 101 is pressed with one hand to stop the rotation of the toilet paper T, and the other hand is used. Since it is necessary to carry out the two-handed work of pulling out the toilet paper T pulled out at the perforation part, it is still a difficult work for the handicapped person with one hand or the elderly, and the same problem as above occurs. It was

The present invention has been made in view of the problems of the above-mentioned conventional toilet paper holders, and the purpose thereof is to easily and reliably provide a toilet paper to a handicapped person with one hand or the elderly. It is to provide a holder for toilet paper capable of cutting.

[0009]

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a toilet paper holder with a toilet paper cutting mechanism that can be operated with one hand. That is, the present invention, a toilet paper storage portion,
The drawer part of the toilet paper formed on the bottom surface of the storage part, the cutter that cuts the toilet paper drawn out from the drawer part, which is slidable in the front-rear direction, and disposed below the storage part, and the cutter. A holder for toilet paper comprising an elastic member that urges backward and an arm that slides the cutter forward in the direction of cutting the toilet paper against the urging force of the elastic member.

Here, a slit is formed in the lower portion of the front wall of the toilet paper storage section, into which the blade of the cutter is fitted when the cutter is slid forward by the arm. preferable. This is because it is possible to reliably cut the toilet paper that is pulled out from the storage portion and hung from above by the blade of the cutter that fits into the slit.

Also, two plate members are mounted on the upper and lower surfaces of the cutter so as to be slidable in the front-rear direction while sandwiching the cutter, and the two plate members have their tips in a normal state. When the second elastic member urges the cutter so that it is positioned in front of the blade of the cutter and the cutter is slid forward by the arm, the tip of the plate body is below the front wall of the accommodating portion. The slits formed on the upper and lower surfaces of the slit, respectively, and stop, and only the cutter is slid forward by the arm against the biasing force of the second elastic member.
It is further preferable that the blade of the cutter is fitted in the slit.

[0012] This is because the blade of the cutter is covered by the plates mounted on the upper and lower surfaces of the cutter in a normal state in the above-mentioned structure, so that the safety when the toilet paper is pulled out, etc. In addition, when the toilet paper is cut, the tips of the two plates that are urged by the second elastic member are located on the upper and lower surfaces of the slit formed below the front wall of the storage section. This is because the top and bottom of the cut portion of the toilet paper are held when they are in contact with each other and stopped, and the cutting of the toilet paper with the cutter is performed more reliably.

Further, the arm for sliding the cutter is a long plate fixed midway to a member rotatably mounted between support plates extending below both side walls of the accommodating portion. It is preferable that the plate-shaped arm is formed by inserting the upper end of the plate-shaped arm into a slit formed in the cutter and arranging the lower part in a state in which the lower part is inclined obliquely forward in a normal state. With such an arm configuration, when the toilet paper is cut, if the lower plate surface of the long plate-like arm that is inclined obliquely forward is pushed backward, the upper end of the arm is This is because the cutter can be swung forward around the fixed portion and the cutter can be smoothly slid forward in the cutting direction by easy work.

[0014]

According to the toilet paper holder of the present invention, after storing the toilet paper in the storage portion and pulling out the end portion of the toilet paper by the required length from the drawer portion formed on the bottom surface of the storage portion. , By operating the arm, the cutter is slid forward in the cutting direction of the toilet paper, and it is possible to cut the hanging toilet paper without applying any pulling force. The work of holding the attached toilet paper, which was indispensable at the time of cutting, is no longer necessary, and it works as a toilet paper holder that can be easily and surely cut by the handicapped person with one hand and the elderly. Occurs.

Further, in the above-mentioned toilet paper holder according to the present invention, the cutter for cutting the toilet paper pulled out from the drawer part is provided with the elastic member which always biases the backward direction opposite to the cutting direction. Therefore, the cutter does not interfere when the toilet paper is pulled out, and the cutter does not move carelessly, so that the toilet paper holder is highly safe.
