DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a toilet paper roll changing device for replacing a toilet paper roll with a toilet paper holder with a single touch.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Toilet paper rolls in which paper is wound around a hollow roll core in a roll form, after all the paper is used, the roll core is removed from the toilet paper holder and replaced with a new toilet paper roll. To replace the toilet paper roll, the roll core is removed from the toilet paper holder, and a spare toilet paper roll is held in the toilet paper holder.

As a structure for holding a toilet paper roll on a toilet paper holder, a holding member for holding a roll core is mounted inside a pair of side plates, and the holding member is rotatable upward from a horizontal position and is in a horizontal state. There is a structure in which when the roll core held by the above is lifted upward, the holding member is rotated so as to be out of the openings at both ends of the roll core. In this toilet paper holder, after all the paper is used, the roll core is lifted upward and removed from the holding member, and a spare toilet paper roll is pushed upward from below the holding member to put the holding member into the opening of the roll core. After that, the toilet paper roll is returned to a horizontal state and held. The spare toilet paper roll has a toilet paper roll placed in a shelves in the toilet or a toilet paper holder in a tubular cloth holder.

[0004]

However, when a spare toilet paper roll is to be taken out of the shelf in the toilet and replaced, especially when the toilet is in use, it takes time and effort to replace the toilet paper roll. If so,
Some children or people with disabilities may not be able to exchange. In addition, when taking out a spare toilet paper roll from a cloth holder, the toilet paper roll may be difficult to take out because the toilet paper roll is in close contact with the cloth holder.

Accordingly, the present invention provides a toilet paper roll exchanging tool that can easily exchange toilet paper with a one-touch operation using a toilet paper holder.

[0006]

A toilet paper roll exchanging device according to the present invention is a toilet paper roll exchanging device which is mounted on a toilet paper holder which lifts the toilet paper roll from below and holds the toilet paper roll on a holding member. A support portion for supporting the plate-shaped body on the toilet paper holder is formed at an upper portion of the body, and a storage portion for storing a toilet paper roll, which is open at the top, is formed at a lower portion of the plate-shaped body. The support portion may be formed as an overhang portion that is placed on both side plates of the toilet paper holder, or a horizontal portion that is perpendicular to the plate-shaped body and that is placed on the back of the toilet paper holder.

Further, a display section for decorating a photograph or displaying a notice may be formed on the upper portion of the support section.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a toilet paper holder equipped with a toilet paper roll changing device of the present invention, FIG. 2 is a side view thereof, and FIG. 3 is mounting of a toilet paper holder and a toilet paper roll changing device. FIG. 4 is a perspective view of the toilet paper roll changing device of the present invention.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, a toilet paper holder 1 is attached to a toilet paper holder 1.
Is attached, and the spare toilet paper roll 3 is held by the toilet paper roll exchanging tool 2.

[0010] Toilet paper holder 1 shown in FIG.
Are known, holding members 6, 6 for holding the roll core 5 are mounted inside the pair of side plates 4, 4, and the holding members 6, 6 are rotatable upward from a horizontal position.
When the roll core 5 held in a horizontal state is lifted upward, the holding members 6, 6 rotate to be disengaged from the openings at both ends of the roll core 5, and are again built into the side plates 4, 4. The spring is biased to return to the horizontal position. Above the toilet paper holder 1, a cover 7 serving as a cutter is rotatably provided.

As shown in FIG. 4, the toilet paper roll changing device 2 is composed of a plate 8 such as a metal plate of stainless steel or the like or a synthetic resin plate. In order to place the roll 3, the plate-shaped body 8 is curved to form a storage section 9 having an open top. In addition,
The open upper portion of the storage section 9 may be opened to the extent that the roll core 5 removed from the holding members 6, 6 rolls from between the cover 7 and the spare toilet paper roll 3 and falls into the storage section 9.

At the upper end of the plate-like body 8, a supporting portion 10a for supporting the toilet paper roll changing tool 2 placed on the upper portion of the toilet paper holder 1 is formed. In this embodiment, the supporting portion 10a is a toilet. The supporting portion 10a is formed by an overhanging portion projecting from the upper portion of the plate-like body 8 so that the toilet paper roll changing tool 2 is supported by the side plates 4 and 4 of the paper holder.

Further, a protruding piece 11 is formed at the center of the upper end of the plate-shaped body 8 so as to easily lift the toilet paper roll exchanging tool 2 upward.

As shown in FIG. 3, the toilet paper roll changing device 2 is inserted through a gap 12 formed between the back of the toilet paper holder 1 and the cover 7.

Next, a method of replacing a toilet paper roll with the toilet paper roll replacement tool of the present invention will be described.

The toilet paper roll exchanging tool 2 which is inserted from the gap 12 formed between the back of the toilet paper holder 1 and the cover 7 and is supported by the side plates 4 and 4 of the toilet paper holder 1 is grasped. When the toilet paper roll exchanging tool 2 is pulled up, the spare toilet paper roll 3 in the storage section 9 is
6, the roll core 5 that has run out of paper hits the roll core 5.
From the opening. When the leading ends of the holding members 6 and 6 reach the opening of the roll core 5 of the spare toilet paper roll, the holding members 6 and 6 are urged to return to the horizontal position by a spring. When the toilet paper roll exchanging tool 2 is lowered downward after entering the opening of the roll core 5, the spare toilet paper roll is supported by the holding members 6 and 6.

FIG. 5 is a perspective view showing another embodiment of the toilet paper roll changing tool of the present invention.

In FIG. 5, the same members as those in the above embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals, and the description thereof will be omitted. In the present embodiment, a photograph is displayed on the upper part of the toilet paper roll changing tool 2.
A frame 13 for decorating a postcard or the like, or a display unit 13 including a space for placing an advertisement or the like is provided.

FIG. 6 shows still another embodiment of the toilet paper roll changing device of the present invention, wherein (a) is a side view showing a state where the toilet paper roll is mounted on a toilet paper holder, and (b).
FIG. 3 is a perspective view of a toilet paper roll replacement tool.

A horizontal support 10b is provided at right angles to the plate 8 and rests on the back of the toilet paper holder 1.
Formed. Therefore, since the supporting portion 10b rests on the entire toilet paper holder 1, the toilet paper roll changing device 2 can be stably supported.
Because it touches the wall, it looks better.

[0021]

According to the toilet paper roll exchanging device of the present invention, a spare toilet paper roll can be exchanged only by pulling up the toilet paper roll exchanging device attached to the toilet paper holder.
