Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Industrial application field] The present invention relates to a roll paper holder for holding roll paper such as toilet paper, and in particular,
To provide a roll paper holder which stores a spare roll paper and can be loaded with a simple operation into a position where the spare roll paper can be pulled out in place of the roll paper in use when the roll paper in use is finished.

[Prior Art] Conventionally, roll paper holders for toilet paper and the like have had a simple structure in which a support rod is inserted into the shaft hole of the roll paper to support it in rotation.

[Problems to be solved by the invention] Therefore, when the roll paper in use is finished, it is necessary to remove the support rod of the holder one by one and replace it with a new roll paper, which makes the replacement operation complicated, and it is necessary to replace the new roll paper immediately. There were problems such as it took a lot of time to replace it when you wanted to use it, and you couldn't use it immediately.

[Means for Solving the Problems] The present invention has been made to solve the above problems, and is configured as follows.

In other words, the roll paper holder of the present invention is
Equipped with a holder main body that stores roll paper that can be pulled out on the lower stage and spare roll paper on the upper stage.
Horizontally movable members are horizontally movably arranged on both sides of the holder body, and the horizontally movable members on both sides have two support rods that support the upper roll paper and which are inserted into the shaft holes of the lower roll paper. Support shafts that rotatably support this are inserted through holes in both side walls, and a support member that supports the lower roll paper is provided at the bottom of the holder body, and the horizontally moving members on both sides can be moved by operating a lever. It is configured by providing a driving means for driving.

As a result, by operating the lever,
The horizontally moving members on both sides move in the direction in which their support rods and support shafts separate from the roll paper in the upper and lower tiers, and the core of the used roll paper located in the lower tier falls downward when the support shafts come off, and is removed from the upper tier. When the support rod comes off, the new roll paper falls to the lower stage, hits the support member at the bottom of the holder main body, and stops at the lower stage position. Then, when the lever is returned to its original position, the horizontal moving member returns to its original position in contact with the holder body, the support shaft passes through the new roll paper loaded in the lower stage, and the roll paper is automatically replaced. .

The ends of the compression coil springs 15, 25 are connected to the protruding shaft 14,
24, and its base portion is fixed at the entrance of the holes 11a, 21a of the horizontally moving members 11, 21. Therefore, the horizontally moving members 11, 2 on both sides
1 are urged inwardly by compression coil springs 15 and 25, respectively, and abut against the side wall of the holder body 1 unless subjected to an outward force, and support rods 12a and 12
b, 22a, 22b and support shafts 13, 23 protrude inside the holder body 1. 16a, 16b, 2
Reference numerals 6a and 26b are two pairs of supporting members protruding from the lower inner side of both side walls of the holder main body 1, which receive and support the roll paper dropped from the upper stage to the lower stage at a fixed position. Note that these support members 16a, 16b, 2
6a and 26b are arranged at intervals such that the core of the used roll paper can be dropped, and are provided with rotating rollers to facilitate rotation of the roll paper.

Reference numeral 2 denotes a drive means for horizontally moving the horizontally moving members 11 and 21, which includes a disk 3 pivotally supported on the upper part of the holder body 1, a lever 4 for rotating the disk 3, and a link member connected to the disk 3. 5a, 5
b, and is connected to the tips of the link members 5a and 5b, with the intermediate part being rotatably supported by the support arms 6a and 6b, and the other end being connected to the heads of the horizontally moving members 11 and 21 through slots and pins. It is composed of link members 7a and 7b that are linked together.

Next, the operation of the roll paper holder having the above configuration will be explained.

First, the door 1a provided at the upper front of the holder main body 1 is opened, and the roll paper 31 is placed inside. At this time, the roll paper 31 is attached to two pairs of support rods 1.
It is supported by 2a, 12b, 22a, and 22b and stored in the upper stage. When the lever 4 is tilted as shown in FIG. 3, the disc 3 rotates, and the link members 7a and 7b rotate so as to open the lower part outwardly through the link members 5a and 5b. Therefore, the horizontally moving members 11 and 21 on both sides horizontally move outward from both side walls of the holder body 1 against the spring force of the compression coil spring 15, and the support rods 12a, 12b, 2
2a, 22b and support shafts 13, 23 are pulled into the side wall. Then, the roll paper 31 on the upper stage falls to the lower stage, and the two pairs of supporting members 1 at the bottom of the holder body
