Description

[Detailed description of the invention] Industrial application field This invention relates to a holder for roll-shaped toilet paper, and in particular, the contact piece of the movable member provided on the left and right side plates is connected to the bottom surface of the outer periphery of the toilet paper. By pushing down, the shaft piece provided at the upper end of the movable member, which is rotated at the same time, is automatically fitted into the paper tube of the toilet paper, so that the toilet paper is held rotatably. Regarding improvements made to the above.

Prior Art This type of conventional holder is pivoted to left and right side plates that stand upright at both ends of a mounting plate so as to be rotatable from a vertical state to a horizontal state, and is always maintained in a horizontal state by an elastic body. When the pair of rotating shaft pieces arranged in this manner are pushed up on the upper surface of the outer periphery of the toilet paper to be attached, the shaft pieces are loosely fitted into the paper tube of the toilet paper during rotation, and the toilet paper is attached. The structure was such that the paper was held rotatably.

Problems that the present invention aims to solve Furthermore, since this type of holder is often installed near the floor or at a low position so as not to obstruct people's access, it is difficult to install new toilet paper in such a holder. If you try to push the toilet paper in from a low position, there is a risk that the toilet paper will come into contact with the floor, especially if the floor has just been washed with water and is wet, or has not yet been cleaned and is dusty or dirty. If the toilet paper adheres to the toilet paper, the toilet paper may become wet or dirty due to contact with the toilet paper, which is extremely unsanitary.

However, even if this mechanism is simply inverted upside down so that the toilet paper can be inserted from above, in this case, the elastic body provided on the shaft piece will absorb the weight of the toilet paper. Unable to provide support, the toilet paper easily falls off, and as a result, the above-mentioned drawbacks of conventional products have remained unsolved to this day.

Means for Solving the Problems In order to solve the above problems, this invention has been developed by pushing the toilet paper to be installed into the holder from above and lifting the paper tube left after use upward. The holder has been improved so that it can be easily removed, so that even if the holder is installed near the floor, there will be no inconvenience caused by the toilet paper or human hands touching the floor during these operations. The structure is such that the movable members pivotally supported at opposing positions on each side plate are formed so that the side shape is approximately C-shaped or approximately L-shaped, and one of the movable members is Each side is provided with shaft pieces that stand upward when not in use, fall down toward the opposing side plates when in use, and are fitted into the paper tube of the toilet paper, and on the other side, when installed The movable member is provided with a contact piece that comes into contact with the lower outer periphery of the toilet paper, and by pushing down this contact piece with the lower outer periphery of the toilet paper to which it is attached, the movable member is rotated. The shaft piece at the other end is automatically inserted into the paper tube of the toilet paper, and conversely, when the paper tube is turned upward and pulled out, the movable member is automatically returned to the unused state. An elastic body is fixed to the side plate or the movable member.

It is pivoted to rotate 90 degrees. Further, as shown in FIG. 9, the substantially L-shaped outer corner of each movable member has concave notches 35e, 35'e, narrow grooves 35f,
35'f, and in the narrow groove, an elastic body 37, 37' such as a leaf spring having semicircular arc-shaped bent portions 37a, 37'a at the tip thereof is placed such that the outer surface of the semicircular arc-shaped portion It is fitted so as to be in contact with the inner surface of each side plate.
However, the elastic body such as the leaf spring may be formed integrally with the movable member from the same material as 37a ₁ and 37'a ₁ shown in FIG. 10.

Effect of the invention The present invention has the above-mentioned configuration.
To explain based on the figure, when not in use, when an appropriate rotational force is applied to each movable member so that the tips of the shaft pieces 5a, 5'a face upward, the tips of the elastic bodies 7, 7' Since the bent portions 7a and 7'a provided press inward the slopes of the protrusions having a substantially triangular cross section on the outside of the movable member, the outer surface of the tip of each shaft piece of each movable member is placed above the side plate. The movable member comes into contact with the bent protrusions 4, 4' and stops, and each shaft piece of the movable member is stably held in an upright state with its tip facing upward. In addition, at this time, the contact pieces 5b, 5' of the movable member
b protrudes inwardly from the side plate, and is simultaneously maintained in a state in which the upper surface of the protrusion provided at the tip thereof is approximately equal to the height of the center of rotation of the movable member. The holder of the present invention, in which the movable member is pre-maintained in the above-mentioned state, is installed at a desired location in a building using the mounting hole of the mounting plate. And roll toilet paper P ₁ in this holder.
To install the cover, first lift the top cover 8 upward as shown in the imaginary line in Figure 1, and then bring the lower surface of its rolled outer periphery into contact with the top surface of the contact piece as shown in Figure 3. If you continue to push this downward, the movable member will begin to rotate so that its shaft pieces lie down, and at the position of about 45 degrees of rotation, the tips of each shaft piece will be inside each tube opening of each paper tube P ₁ a. At this time, each elastic body 7, 7' is deformed to the greatest extent by the substantially triangular protrusion of the movable member, so that its rotational resistance becomes the greatest. However, after this point, the restoring force of the elastic body acts on the slope on the opposite side of the protrusion to further collapse the movable member, causing the movable member to rotate approximately 90 degrees at once. , the state shown by the imaginary line in FIG. 4 is reached, and the tip of the abutting piece faces downward, and its outer surface abuts the inner surface of the downwardly bent projecting piece of the side plate, preventing further rotation. Accordingly, the movable member rotates approximately 90 degrees, and the tips of the shaft pieces are placed in a horizontally laid down state facing the opposing side plates, and at the same time, each shaft piece finishes fitting into the paper tube. In addition, since the outer periphery of each shaft piece is slightly rounded, when the rolled end of the toilet paper is pulled, the rolled toilet paper _P1 is rotated and the end is pulled out for a long time. can be used at any time. And when all these papers are used up,
Finally, when only the paper tube is left, grasp the paper tube P ₁ a with your hand and apply force to lift it upward, and the movable member will pass the dead point at a position reversely rotated approximately 45 degrees. The tip of each shaft piece slipped out of the tube opening of each paper tube at a position of about 60 degrees.
The lifting force of the paper tube no longer acts directly on the movable member, but at that time it has already passed the dead point, and the restoring force of each elastic body is applied to the slope on the opposite side of the protrusion having a substantially triangular cross section. As a result, the outer tip of each shaft piece naturally rotates in the opposite direction until it comes into contact with the inner surface of the upper bent protrusion piece 4, 4' and prevents further rotation. Each piece is stably held in an upright position with the tip facing upward. Since this state is a non-use state, by repeating the above-mentioned operations, the toilet paper can be freely attached and detached as needed. Also, when attaching the toilet paper P ₂ to the holder of the second embodiment, it is sufficient to follow exactly the same procedure as in the first embodiment described above, and also in the case of this embodiment, the movable member 2
Around 45 degrees, the midpoint of the approximately 90 degree rotation range of the cams 25d and 25', and the elastic bodies 27 such as leaf springs, etc.
... is a dead point and the rotational resistance is the greatest, but each shaft piece that passes this point collapses at once and maintains the used state, or stands up all at once and maintains the unused state. So,
The fact that it can be used repeatedly at any time is exactly the same as in the first embodiment described above.

Furthermore, in the third embodiment of the present invention, the toilet paper P ₃ can be installed using exactly the same procedure as in the first and second embodiments, and the paper tube can be easily removed after use. It can be removed. However, in the case of this embodiment, there is no clear dead point as in the first and second embodiments, but even in this case, when installing the toilet paper _P3 , the movable members 35, 35' are approximately
If you continue to press each contact piece downward so that it is rotated 60 degrees, then the elastic bodies 37a, 3 such as leaf springs
7'a, 37a ₁ and 37'a ₁ , the movable member is automatically rotated to the end by the restoring force of 7'a, 37a 1, 37'a 1, and even when the paper tube is removed after use, the movable member is already nearly removed. Since it has been rotated 60 degrees, the restoring force of each of the leaf springs will then rotate it to the end, so the tips of the shaft pieces 35a and 35'a of each movable member will be in an upwardly erect state and stable. Retained. Since this state is an unused state, the toilet paper can be repeatedly attached and detached at any time in the case of the third embodiment, as in the case of each of the above-mentioned embodiments.

Effects of the invention The holder for rolled toilet paper according to the invention has the above-mentioned configuration and functions, so
First, when the top lid is closed, open it and push down each contact piece of the movable member with the bottom surface of the outer periphery of the roll-shaped toilet paper to be attached. At that time, each axis that rotates at the same time The strip is automatically inserted into the paper tube, thereby holding the paper in a rotatable manner, and the operation is as simple as lifting the paper tube upwards and pulling it out after the paper has been used. Since the movable member automatically returns to the state before use, there is an advantage that the work of attaching and detaching the paper becomes extremely simple.

In addition, the holder of the present invention is for pushing the rolled toilet paper downward from above, and also for removing the paper tube left after use by lifting it upward. When trying to push paper into the holder from the bottom, there is no risk that your hands or the paper will touch the floor and get dirty or wet with dust or water, which is highly advantageous in terms of hygiene. . Furthermore, since the holder of the present invention does not require a space below the holder to insert the paper, the holder can be installed further down, for example on the wall of a building. The advantage is that the holder can be installed very advantageously in cases where most of the holder is made of materials unsuitable for drilling or fixing, such as stone slabs or earthen walls, and there is no other place to mount the holder other than a low-lying wooden part. There is.
