2. Description of the Related Art Thorough sewerage facilities in recent years have promoted the spread of flush toilets that purify toilet excrement in septic tanks and drain it into the sewers. The colorful new material is used to renew the conventional dirty image and give it a clean feeling. On the other hand, based on the rapid economic growth, the restaurant industry such as restaurants and restaurants, the service industry in which an unspecified number of people enter and leave, such as hotels and wedding halls, have been disrupted. Is increasing with the improvement of. The restrooms of restaurants, hotels, etc. where an unspecified number of people come and go have changed from conventional batch type flush toilets to flush flush toilets in terms of hygiene and cleanliness. As for these flush toilets, the western style in which a toilet seat that can withstand continuous use over a long period of time is overwhelmingly common. An unspecified number of people who use the toilet seat of a Western-style toilet in such restaurants and hotels will also use it. This type of Western-style toilet seat that sits on the toilet seat is used by placing the buttocks on the toilet seat, and because it is used by an unspecified person, it is unknown what kind of person used it. In some cases, it may be unclean, and in particular, illness may be transmitted. Therefore, recently, in order to sterilize and disinfect the top of the toilet seat, a toilet seat disinfecting cleaner in which a chemical solution is soaked in paper that wipes cleanly the top of the toilet seat has been developed and is generally commercially available. However, this toilet seat disinfecting cleaner uses sturdy paper because it cleans the toilet seat cleanly, and if it is thrown into the toilet after use, it may clog the toilet, etc., so it must be disposed of separately. It takes time and effort. The toilet seat of this Western-style toilet is usually made of hard plastic. Therefore, sitting directly on this hard plastic toilet seat is cold and difficult to use in the winter. In particular, after the toilet seat disinfectant cleaner has been wiped cleanly, the chemical solution contained in the toilet seat disinfectant cleaner adheres to the surface of the toilet seat, making it extra cold and difficult to use. Therefore, in order to prevent unsanitary conditions caused by direct skin contact with the toilet seat and to soften the coldness even when sitting on the toilet seat in winter, recently a toilet seat paper is laid on this toilet seat. The method of using it has come to be considered. This sheet for toilet seat is stacked one by one in the vicinity of the toilet seat and stored in a storage body such as a bag, and either one sheet is taken out from the storage body as needed and used. A special toilet seat is used, which is remodeled so that the roll can be stored by winding the paper around the roll so that it can be supplied continuously.

[Problems to be solved by the device]

However, in the supply of such a toilet seat cover sheet for a conventional toilet bowl, the sheets are stacked one by one and stored in a container such as a bag, and the sheets are taken out from the container one by one as needed. If it is used, there is a problem that a space for accommodating the toilet seat sheet is taken in a small toilet space and a large amount of sheet cannot be set at one time. Also, in the case of a toilet bowl that is configured so that it can be continuously wound by winding the toilet seat cover on a roll, the toilet seat cover is set when a new toilet is built or when the toilet is rebuilt. It can be used by adopting a special toilet bowl that can be used, but it has a problem that it cannot be used at all in the existing toilet bowl. Furthermore, in the case of a conventional toilet bowl that is configured to be wound around a roll so that it can be continuously supplied, it is necessary to remove the existing toilet bowl and replace it with a modified toilet bowl. Have The present invention has been made in view of the above problems of the prior art. The purpose of the present invention is that it can be easily attached to an existing toilet bowl and the user pulls the lever or wire. By so doing, it is intended to provide an automatic toilet seat cover sheet feeder that can automatically and automatically unwind a sheet of paper laid on a toilet sheet onto the toilet seat without touching it. .

[Means for Solving the Problems]

In order to achieve the above object, the toilet seat automatic sheet feeder according to the present invention is rotatably attached to a toilet plate and a rotating plate having a lever provided at an appropriate position on the peripheral edge and a claw provided on the surface. A ratchet that meshes with the claws of the rotary plate and rotates by the rotation of the rotary plate, and a drive gear that rotates by receiving the rotation of the ratchet, and presses and presses each other to rotate the ratchet sheet and feed it to the toilet seat. It is composed of a pair of rollers and a gear that is attached to one of the pair of rollers and meshes with the drive gear via a rotatable intermediate gear. Further, in order to achieve the above object, the toilet seat automatic sheet feeder in the present invention comprises a rotating plate having a wire wound around a peripheral end thereof and a claw provided on the surface thereof, and rotatably attached to a toilet bowl. A ratchet that meshes with a claw of a rotating plate and rotates by the rotation of the rotating plate, a drive gear that rotates by receiving the rotation of the ratchet, and a pair that presses the rotating ratchet against each other to rotate the toilet seat sheet and send it to the toilet seat. And a gear that is attached to one of the pair of rollers and that meshes with the drive gear via a rotatable intermediate gear. A handle is attached to one end of the wire and a weight is attached to the other end.

[Action]

One end of the toilet seat paper wrapped around the roll is inserted between a pair of rollers that are in pressure contact with each other, and the toilet seat paper is slightly pulled out from between the pair of rollers to close the toilet lid. When you open the lid of the toilet bowl and pull the lever or wire of the toilet seat automatic paper feeder installed at the rear of the toilet seat toward you, the rotating plate to which the lever is fixed or the wire is wound rotates. The ratchet attached to the claw attached to the rotary plate is pushed to rotate the ratchet. Then, the drive gear rotates in response to the rotation of the ratchet, and the rotation of the drive gear causes the intermediate gear to rotate. The rotation of the intermediate gear causes the gear to rotate in a direction opposite to the rotation direction of the rotary plate. The rotation of this gear causes one of the pair of rollers to rotate, and the toilet seat sheet sandwiched between the two rollers is delivered onto the toilet seat. When the lever is returned or the pulled wire is released, the rotating plate rotates in the opposite direction to that when the lever or wire is pulled toward you. In this case, there is no engagement between the pawl and the ratchet, and the claw and the ratchet run idle. For this reason, the ratchet does not rotate and is not fed in the retracted direction, which is the reverse of the delivery of the toilet seat sheet sandwiched between the two rollers.
