Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (Industrial Application Field) The present invention relates to a toilet paper holder, that is, a holder for paper rolls used in toilets.

(Prior Art) A back frame attached to the wall of a toilet, support plates projecting forward from both sides of the back frame, and a roll of toilet paper, that is,
After inserting the wrapping paper used in the toilet into the central insertion hole, the toilet paper is supported by elastically press-fitting both ends into concave support portions provided inside the tips of the support plates. A bellows or other elastically expandable support member, and a cross section that is rotatably supported on both of the support plates so as to be able to rotate around a horizontal axis so as to be in sliding contact with the circumferential surface of the toilet paper from above at all times due to its own weight. Toilet paper holders consisting of an arcuate pivot plate are known in the art.

In the conventional toilet paper holder as described above, the support member for supporting the roll-shaped toilet paper is elastic so that the distance between the two support plates remains constant. Since it is a removable type that is expandable and retractable, if you have used all the loaded toilet paper and need to load new toilet paper, you can resist the elasticity of the supporting member by hand. After compressing it and removing it from both support plates, insert it into the center insertion hole of the new toilet paper, and while supporting the toilet paper, compress it again and insert it into the concave support part on the inside of both support plates. The drawback is that it requires a tedious process of press-fitting and setting, and is difficult to set unless you are used to the attachment/detachment operations.

Therefore, in order to eliminate the drawbacks of the conventionally known toilet paper holders as described above and to make it possible to easily set toilet paper, we have developed the above-mentioned utility model registration claim as described in the preamble of paragraph 1. Recently, an improved toilet paper holder has been proposed.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) The above-mentioned improved toilet paper holder is convenient because toilet paper can be easily set in it compared to the conventional one. Utsukai Showa 57-189497
As disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 52-147550, etc., a single support rod (core) having a constant diameter is used as a means for rotatably supporting a roll of toilet paper. Since the toilet paper is only equipped with a support rod (rod), it has the inconvenience or disadvantage that it is not possible to use rolled toilet paper that has a central insertion hole that does not match the diameter of the support rod, and the shape of the back frame is square. This, together with its relatively large dimensions and the fact that relatively expensive stainless steel is generally used as its material, not only tends to result in high manufacturing costs, but also makes the overall weight relatively heavy, making it difficult to transport. There are inconveniences or drawbacks, such as being likely to be disadvantageous in terms of cost.

The present invention is an attempt to provide a toilet paper holder which is further improved on the above-mentioned improved toilet paper holder and eliminates the above-mentioned inconveniences and drawbacks.

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention adopts the configuration described in claim 1 of the utility model registration.

(Example) Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings showing an example of its implementation.

In the drawings, reference numeral 1 denotes a back frame to be attached to the wall surface of the toilet, which is approximately in the shape of a right triangle, and arranged so that the adjacent side of the right triangle is the horizontal upper edge and the oblique side thereof is the lower oblique edge. It is integrally formed of a stainless steel plate and a support plate 2 that projects forward from one side, which is the opposite side.
The support plate 2 also has a roughly right triangular shape with an R at the front end, and a hole near the front end of the inner surface of the support plate 2 is inserted into the center insertion hole 3 of the rolled toilet paper 3 to rotate it. A support rod 4 for possible support is provided protruding parallel to the back frame 1. In the illustrated example, this support rod 4 has a female thread cut on the circumferential surface of a hole bored at its base end, and this female thread is connected to a male thread 5 fixed to the inner surface of the support plate 2. It is removably fixed to the support plate 2 by direct screwing.

Further, in the illustrated example, the support rod 4 is a commercially available rolled toilet paper 3 having a tip end formed in a substantially truncated conical shape and a central insertion hole 3' having a small diameter, for example, about 10 mm. It is manufactured to have a diameter that allows it to be easily inserted into the central insertion hole. The support rod 4 has a large diameter.
For example, it is possible to use commercially available rolled toilet paper (not shown) having a central insertion hole of about 4 cm, but it is inevitable that the paper will wobble to some extent when being pulled out. In the illustrated example, the reason why the support rod 4 is detachably fixed to the support plate 2 via screws is as follows.
This is so that other supporting rods with a similar shape and structure (not shown) with larger diameters can be prepared as accessories so that they can be replaced as needed. . Therefore, if a user is concerned about some wobbling and uses toilet paper that has a large diameter center insertion hole, they can simply replace it with such a larger diameter support rod. In place of such a large-diameter support rod, an auxiliary support tube (not shown) is provided as an accessory, which increases the diameter of the support rod by fitting it into the support rod 4 and using it. You can do it like this.

Reference numeral 6 denotes a rotating plate rotatably supported around a horizontal axis so as to slide on the circumferential surface of the toilet paper 3, which is always set due to its own weight, from above. In the illustrated example, the rotating plate 6 is connected to the upper end of the support plate 2 adjacent to the back frame 1, and to the upper end of the support plate 2 adjacent to the back frame 1.
It is pivotally supported via pivots 8, 8 between it and a bracket 7 formed by bending forward the tip of the back frame 1 on the opposite side.

The rotating plate 6 has a mechanism that engages with the side surface of the toilet paper 3 supported by the support rod 4 on the side opposite to the side surface of the support plate 2 to prevent the toilet paper from falling off the support rod 4. A side plate 9 for preventing the rotary plate from falling off is provided so as to hang down and protrude substantially perpendicular to the plane of the rotary plate body. As shown, this side plate 9 has a substantially right triangular shape and is formed integrally with the rotating plate 6.

Further, the rotary plate 6 is provided with a downwardly bent flap-shaped sliding contact piece 10 at its front end, and the tip edge of the sliding contact piece 10 is the fulcrum of the rotary plate 6. The distance between the support rod 4 and the pivot 8 is greater than the distance between the axis of the support rod 4 and the pivot 8. Therefore, the sliding contact piece 10 moves downward following the weight loss of the toilet paper 3 until it is used up.
Maintain contact with its surrounding surface. Moreover, since the side plate 9 also moves downward together with the toilet paper 3, it engages with the side surface of the toilet paper 3 and prevents it from falling off, regardless of the amount of toilet paper 3 being reduced.

(Effect of the invention) Setting up toilet paper is extremely easy. In other words, the toilet paper set is
Simply rotate the rotating plate upward by hand, insert the support rod into the central insertion hole of the toilet paper, and bring the rotating plate into contact with its circumferential surface. If the toilet paper is wrapped around a core tube (not shown), it is necessary to remove the core tube after use, but this is also extremely easy as it can simply be pulled out from the support rod.

In addition, according to the present invention, the support rod is removably fixed to the support plate via a screw fixed to an inner surface of the support plate protruding forward from one side of the back frame, and Since the accessory is provided with a second support rod having a diameter larger than the support rod or an auxiliary support tube that is used by fitting into the support rod, which is configured to be replaceable with the support rod, this accessory is not necessary. By using it in accordance with the above, it becomes possible to use it in common with various roll-shaped toilet paper rolls on the market having different diameters of the central insertion hole, which is extremely convenient for use.

Furthermore, according to the present invention, since the back frame is formed into a roughly right triangle shape, it is possible to save materials and significantly reduce the manufacturing cost compared to the conventional back frame in which the back frame is formed into a square shape. It can bring about many practical benefits, such as being relatively light in weight and being advantageous in terms of transportation costs.
