Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a toilet paper holder for holding and storing toilet paper.

[Prior art] Toilet paper is wound into a cylindrical shape in layers around the outer circumference of a hollow shaft, and toilet paper holders are generally used to hold and store the paper so that the shaft is in a horizontal position. has been done. This general toilet paper holder is equipped with a telescoping rod and a body to which it is attached, and the telescoping rod is inserted into the hollow shaft of the toilet paper, and the telescoping rod is compressed and inserted into the main body together with the toilet paper. When both ends of the telescopic rod are inserted into the supporting portion of the main body, the telescopic rod is able to hold the toilet paper against the weight of the toilet paper and external forces by its biasing force.

However, in this general toilet paper holder, when installing or removing toilet paper, as mentioned above, while holding the toilet paper with one hand to prevent it from falling, use the other hand to compress the telescopic rod and remove it from the support part. It must be removed or inserted from within the body along with the toilet paper. As described above, putting on and taking off the toilet paper required complicated operations using both hands.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] Taking the above facts into consideration, the present invention aims to provide a toilet paper holder that allows toilet paper to be attached and detached by simple and easy operation with one hand.

[Means for Solving the Problems] In the toilet paper holder according to the present invention, a center rod passing through the axis of the toilet paper is attached, and a center rod is attached to one side in the axial direction of the center rod corresponding to the outer periphery of the toilet paper. A holder body having an opening for insertion and removal formed therein, a base for supporting the holder body, and the other side of the holder body being rotatable around one side in the longitudinal direction opposite to the opening. It has a support means attached to the base, and a holding member that engages with one longitudinal side of the holder body to close the opening.

[Function] In the toilet paper holder with the above configuration,
The holder body can be operated with one hand. This operating force causes the holder main body to separate from the holding member with which it was engaged and rotate around the support means. Furthermore, the opening for inserting and removing toilet paper is held facing upward.

At this point, the toilet paper is attached and removed, and new toilet paper can simply be inserted into the center rod. After inserting new toilet paper, the holder body is rotated until it returns to its original horizontal position. Then, the holder main body engages with the holding member, and the opening is closed by the holding member, thereby preventing the toilet paper stored in the holder main body from falling off.

[Embodiment] FIG. 1 shows a toilet paper holder 10 according to the present invention. This toilet paper holder 10 includes a holder body 12 for storing toilet paper.

As shown in FIG. 1, the holder main body 12 has a thin, substantially cylindrical shape, and one end in the axial direction is open and serves as an insertion/extraction port 15 for toilet paper 14. As shown in FIG. The other end in the axial direction is closed by an integrally formed circular side wall 16. This side wall 16
A center rod 18 integrally projects from the side wall 16 along the longitudinal direction of the holder main body 12 from the inner center thereof. These holder main body 12 and side wall 1
Insert and take out port 15 into the hollow formed by 6.
Toilet paper 14 is inserted from the center rod 1
8 is adapted to fit into and hold the toilet paper 14 within the mandrel 20.

A protrusion 2 is provided approximately at the center of the periphery 24 of the insertion/extraction port 15.
6 protrudes outward in the longitudinal direction of the holder main body 12. Further, a rectangular through hole 28 is bored near the protrusion 26 .

As shown in FIG. 3, an opening 29 is formed in the holder main body 12 over approximately 1/4 of the circumference, and serves as a drawer opening for the stored toilet paper 14. A serrated cutter portion 30 is formed on the front side (front side of the paper in FIG. It's summery. On the peripheral wall of the holder body 12 near the cutter part 30, the longitudinal direction is the holder body 1.
A rectangular viewing window 32 is bored along the longitudinal direction of 2. Therefore, the toilet paper 14 stored in the holder main body 12 can be visually recognized from the outside, and the remaining amount can be confirmed.

On the other hand, a support rod 34 serving as a support means is integrally connected to the outside of the side wall 16. A ring-shaped protrusion 36 is formed at an intermediate portion near the tip of the support rod 34, and a pair of substantially rectangular protrusions 38 protrude toward opposite sides in the radial direction from the tip. The tip of the support rod 34 on which the protrusion 38 is formed is fitted into the base 40 to support the holder main body 12.

The base 40 has a rectangular box shape with one side open as shown in FIG.
A substantially circular through hole 42 into which the holder 4 is inserted is bored. Further, a pair of recesses 42A are formed in the front wall 41 around the through hole 42 so as to be inclined with respect to the longitudinal axis of the base 40 (direction of the center line B in FIG. 2). Therefore, the support rod 34 integrated with the holder main body 12 inserts the protrusion 38 at the tip of the support rod 34 into the through hole 42 in a state where the longitudinal axis of the holder main body 12 is inclined with respect to the longitudinal axis of the base 40. If inserted into the recess 42A, the tip of the support rod 34 will protrude from the through hole 42 to the back surface, and one side of the ring-shaped protrusion 36 will be inserted into the base front wall 41 around the through hole 42.
It will come into contact with the surface. Further, when the holder main body 12 is then rotated clockwise in FIG.
The side surface 38A of the protrusion 38 on the holder body side is the through hole 4.
2 on the back side of the base front wall 41.

A pair of protrusions 44A and 44B are formed on the back surface of the base front wall 41 around the through hole 42, respectively, so as to correspond to the radial direction of the through hole 42. Therefore, the base 40 passes through the recess 42a of the through hole 42.
The protrusion 38 of the support rod 34 located on the back side is adapted to engage with these protrusions 44A, 44B. That is, when the holder main body 12, which is integrated with the support rod 34, is rotated clockwise in FIG. do. This is the installation state shown in FIG. If the holder body 12 is further rotated clockwise in FIG. 2, the protrusion 38 will slide over the protrusion 44A as the support rod 34 rotates while being slightly elastically deformed. At this time, a resistance force is generated that resists the rotation of the holder body 12, and the rotation of the holder body 12 is moderated by the engagement between the projections 38 and the convex portions 44A.

Furthermore, stopper protrusions 46 are protruded near the upper and lower sides of the through hole 42 . This stopper protrusion 46 is arranged in a state in which the protrusion 38 rides over the protrusions 44A and 44B and the longitudinal axis of the holder body 12 is perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the base 40 (the state shown in FIG.
8 is in the state shown by the imaginary line in FIG. 2), it engages with the protrusion 38 and prevents the holder body 12 from rotating. Further, in this state, the projection 38 is on the opposite side of the projection 46 and also corresponds to the convex portion 44B, so that the holder main body 12 will not inadvertently return from the state shown in FIG. 3 to the state shown in FIG. 4.

Through holes 47 are provided at the upper corners of both widthwise ends of the base 40.
is drilled so that screws for mounting on the wall can be inserted. Further, a through hole 48 is formed in the base 40 on the opposite side in the longitudinal direction from the through hole 42 .
Furthermore, recesses 50 are provided above and below this through hole 48.
is formed. These through holes 48 and recesses 50
A bracket 52 is coupled to the bracket 52.

The bracket 52 is integrally formed with a disc-shaped cover portion 53 and a holding rod 54 coupled to the center portion of the cover portion 53. A rectangular substrate 56 is formed at the tip of the holding rod 54 perpendicularly to the holding rod 54 . Furthermore, a pair of convex portions 5 are provided on the back surface of the substrate 56.
8 is prominent. This substrate 56 comes into contact with the peripheral surface of the through hole 48 of the base front wall 41, the convex part 58 fits into the recessed part 50, and the screw 60 is screwed onto the holding rod 54 through the through hole 48, whereby the bracket 52 is adapted to be coupled to the base 40. The convex portion 58 of the holding rod 54 fits into the concave portion 50 and prevents the bracket 52 from slipping.
will not move relative to the base 40.

A protrusion 62 protrudes from the upper peripheral wall of the cover portion 53. When the longitudinal axis of the holder body 12 is rotated so as to be parallel to the longitudinal axis of the base 40 as shown in FIG. 4, the protrusion 62 fits into the through hole 28 of the holder body 12, Furthermore, the cover portion 53 is configured to close the insertion/extraction port 15. For this reason, the holder body 12
The toilet paper stored inside will not fall off from the holder body. Further, since the holder main body 12 is supported on both sides in the longitudinal direction by the support rod 34 and the holding rod 54, it is securely fixed to the base 40.

The toilet paper holder 10 having the above structure is fixed to an indoor wall via a screw (not shown) passing through the through hole 47 of the base 40.

Next, the operation of this embodiment will be explained.

When replenishing or replacing toilet paper, the holder main body 12 is pushed upward by a person's hand. That is, in this case, the user hooks his/her finger on the protrusion 26 of the holder main body 12 and pushes it upward. This pushing up force causes the holder main body 12 to open the through hole 2 that was fitted into the protrusion 62 of the bracket 52.
8 comes out of the protrusion 62 and rotates counterclockwise in the direction of arrow A in FIG. 1 about the support rod 34. For this reason, the base front wall 4 is passed through the through hole 42.
The protrusion 38 located on the back side of the protrusion 1 undergoes slight elastic deformation while the side surface 38A slides over the surfaces of the protrusions 44A and 44B.

When the holder main body 12 is further rotated by the push-up force, the protrusion 38 will be located between the convex portion 44B and the stopper protrusion 46, and no resistance force will be generated in this state. In this way, the rotation of the holder main body 12 is controlled by the engagement between the protrusion 38 and the protrusions 44A and 44B.

When the protrusion 38 passes over the convex portion 44B, that is, when it rotates until the longitudinal axis of the holder main body 12 becomes perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the base 40 as shown in FIG. The rotation is prevented by engaging and abutting against. Therefore, the protrusion 38 is held in a state inserted between the protrusion 44B and the stopper protrusion 46, and as shown in FIG.
5 is facing upward.

At this point, toilet paper is inserted or removed. In this case, since the insertion/extraction opening 15 of the holder main body 12 faces upward, the toilet paper can be easily inserted or removed with one hand.

After the toilet paper is inserted, the holder main body 12 is rotated clockwise in the direction of arrow A in FIG. 1. In this case, as described above, the protrusion 38 of the support rod 34 engages with the protrusion 44B and the protrusion 44A while slightly elastically deforming, and the side surface 38A slides on the surface of the protrusion 44B and the protrusion 44A. At this time, a resistance force is generated that resists the rotation of the holder main body 12. Therefore, in this case as well, the rotation of the holder main body 12 will be moderate as in the case described above.

When the holder body 12 is rotated until the longitudinal axis of the holder body 12 becomes parallel to the longitudinal axis of the base 40 as shown in FIG. The cover portion 53 of the bracket 52 contacts the insertion/extraction opening 15 of the holder main body 12 so as to close it. Therefore, the toilet paper is stored in the toilet paper holder 10 and prevented from falling off.

When the toilet paper 14 is subsequently used, the outer layer end of the toilet paper is inserted into the opening 2.
9 and can be easily cut by a cutter portion 30 formed on the holder body 12. Furthermore, the toilet paper stored inside the holder body 12 can be visually checked in the stored state through the viewing window 32 formed in the holder body 12, so it is possible to check the remaining amount without rotating the holder body 12. It is.

In this embodiment, in order to moderate the rotation of the holder main body 12, the projection 38 and the convex portions 44A, 44 are
Although combination B was used, other structures may be applied to create moderation.

[Effect of the invention] As explained above, in the toilet paper holder according to the invention, a center rod is attached that passes through the axis of the toilet paper, and a center rod is attached to one side of the center rod in the axial direction corresponding to the outer periphery of the toilet paper. A holder body formed with an opening for insertion and extraction, a base for supporting the holder body, and a base that is near one longitudinal side of the holder body and whose other side is rotatable around the opposite side of the opening. The holder has a support means for attaching to the holder, and a holding member that engages one side in the longitudinal direction of the holder body to close the opening, so it has the excellent effect of allowing toilet paper to be attached and detached with a simple and easy operation with one hand. has.
