Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a toilet paper cutter for pulling out a toilet paper roll and cutting it to a desired length.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Toilet paper rolls are cut by pressing the paper drawn from the drawn roll against a blade (including teeth or edges) provided on the tip of an upper cover that covers the roll, or by cutting the toilet paper roll. This is done by hooking and tearing the perforations provided on the roll in line with the tip of the upper cover.

[0003]

In the former paper cutting method, however, since the roll paper is in a freely rotatable state, it is difficult to cut the paper reliably at a desired position because the cutting edge of the paper is slippery. Has the drawback that the paper cannot be cut cleanly unless the perforations and the tip of the upper cover are surely aligned, and that the paper cannot be cut to an arbitrary length. An object of the present invention is to provide a toilet paper cutter that can surely cut the toilet paper into a desired length and that can be cut cleanly along the blade.

[0004]

A toilet paper cutter according to the present invention is provided with a paper drawer portion on a wall surface, and the toilet paper is attached to the paper drawer portion of a roll paper drawer mechanism that accommodates a toilet paper roll inside. In the cutter, the middle portion is axially supported by an inner support shaft parallel to the toilet paper roll,
The inner rotary plate mounted on the paper drawer is arranged in parallel on the outer side of the inner rotary plate with a paper insertion gap therebetween, and is pivotally supported by an outer spindle located outside the inner rotary plate. It is characterized by comprising an outer rotary plate and a blade provided at the tip of the outer rotary plate.

[0005]

According to the toilet paper cutter of the present invention, when the tip of the roll paper passing through the paper insertion gap is pulled and pulled outward, the tip of the outer plate is biased by the roll paper to rotate to the left, The end urges the rear end of the inner plate counterclockwise. As a result, both the outer plate and the inner plate rotate counterclockwise to close the paper insertion gap. As a result, the roll paper is sandwiched between the paper insertion gaps, caught on the front end of the outer plate and the rear end of the inner plate, and reliably cut by the blade at the front end of the outer plate.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The present invention will be described with reference to an embodiment shown in FIG. Reference numeral 100 denotes a roll paper pull-out mechanism in which a toilet paper roll R is housed in a vertical quadrangular tubular resin case 1 so that the toilet paper roll R is laterally placed rotatably. On the upper surface of the roll paper pull-out mechanism 100, there is a toilet paper holder 200 in which a spare toilet paper roll R1 is housed horizontally in a vertical rectangular tubular resin case 201 having the same cross section as the case 1. It has been placed. For the toilet paper holder 200, when the roll R in the roll paper pull-out mechanism 100 is used up, a lever 202 provided on the side wall of the case 201 is operated to drop the roll R1 into the roll paper pull-out mechanism 100. 300 is attached.

A cylindrical paper drawer 2 is provided on the front surface of the case 1, and the leading end of the drawer 2 serves as a paper drawer 20. Further, a bracket B for fastening the case 1 to the wall is integrally formed on the back surface of the case 1. Inside the case 1, there are provided a pair of rotatable rollers 11 and 12 for smoothly rotating the roll R,
It is provided horizontally parallel to the lateral direction. In this embodiment, the roller 11 on the rear side is additionally provided with a roller interval adjusting mechanism 3 for adjusting the interval between the rollers 11 and 12, so that the roll core S after use can be discharged. A rotation handle 13 is connected to the front side roller 12 on the outer side surface of the case 1, and the roll R can be rotated by rotating the handle 13.

Further, the inner wall of the case 1 is provided with inclined guide plates 14 and 15 on the front wall and the rear wall, so that the roll R whose outer diameter becomes small during use can surely be used for the roller 1.
It is designed to be placed on Nos. 1 and 12. Below the case 1, a discharge port 16 for the roll core S is formed.
It is covered by a cover plate 17 having a substantially inverted V-shaped cross section, which is attached to the lower part of the front surface of the. The used roller core S dropped from between the rollers 11 and 12 is temporarily held by the cover plate 17, and is discharged by rotating the cover plate 17. The thickness of the tubular paper drawer 2 in the vertical direction gradually decreases toward the tip, and is formed by a lower member 2B integrally formed with the case 1 and a case 1 separately from the lower member 2.
The upper part 2A is detachably fitted to B. The toilet paper cutter 4 of the present invention is installed in the drawer portion 2.

The toilet paper cutter 4 has an inner (lower side in the figure) rotary plate 5 and an outer (upper side in the figure) rotary plate 6 arranged in parallel outside the inner rotary plate 5 with a paper insertion gap 41 therebetween. With. The inner rotary plate 5 has a rectangular shape and is rotatably attached to the lower member 2B of the paper outlet. An intermediate portion 51 of the inner rotary plate 5 is axially supported by an inner support shaft 52 parallel to the toilet paper roll R,
A rubber ridge 53 for increasing frictional force is fixed to the upper surface of the tip portion.

The outer rotary plate 6 has a rectangular shape slightly longer than the inner rotary plate 5, and is rotatably mounted on the upper member 2A so as to be pivotally supported. The intermediate portion 61 of the outer rotary plate 6 is located outside the inner rotary plate 5 with respect to the center of the roll R, and is pivotally supported by an outer support shaft 62 parallel to the inner support shaft 52. A blade 6 is provided on the lower surface of the tip of the outer rotary plate 6.
3 is attached, and a rubber ridge 64 for increasing frictional force is fixed to the lower surface of the rear end portion. The blade 63
May be an edge provided on the lower surface of the tip of the outer rotary plate 6.

The operation of the roll paper pull-out mechanism 100 will be described. When you have finished using one toilet paper roll R, operate the roller spacing adjustment mechanism 3
The space between Nos. 1 and 12 is widened, the roll core S is discharged, and the drop mechanism 300 is operated to drop the roll R1 into the roll paper pull-out mechanism 100. Next, the upper member 2 of the drawer 2
A is removed (the outer rotary plate is also removed at the same time), and the handle 13 is turned to rotate the roll R1. The end of the paper P is set to the drawer portion 2 and drawn out from the drawer opening 20, and then the upper member 2A is fitted to the lower member 2B. As a result, the end portion of the paper P is inserted into the paper insertion gap 41.

Paper P passing through the paper insertion gap 41
Hold the tip of the paper, pull it out for the desired length, and then pull it diagonally upward (in the direction of the arrow). As shown, it rotates counterclockwise, and the rear end 6B urges the rear end portion 5B of the inner plate 5 in the leftward rotation direction. As a result, both the outer rotary plate 5 and the inner rotary plate 4 rotate counterclockwise to close the paper insertion gap 41, and the paper P is firmly stopped by the rubber ridges 53 and 64. That is,
The paper P is sandwiched and fixed in the paper insertion gap 41, is caught by the tip 6A of the outer rotary plate and the rear end 5B of the inner plate, and is reliably and cleanly cut by the blade 63 at the tip of the outer rotary plate.

FIG. 2 shows another embodiment. In this embodiment, the paper drawer unit 2 is arranged in the up-down direction in the drawer port 20.
Is provided on the lower side. This has the advantage that the amount of protrusion of the roll paper pull-out mechanism 100 can be reduced. Further, the pair of rollers 11, 12 and the roller gap adjusting mechanism 3 are omitted, and the lid of the core outlet 16 is omitted, so that the core can be manufactured at low cost.
