Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention is used for rewinding a paper roll, winding it up, cutting it to a suitable size for use, and then removing it for use. The present invention relates to a winding device.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A commonly used paper holder is such that when used, the cover plate is first lifted and the paper edge is grasped and pulled out, and then an arbitrary length is fed out, and then the cover plate is pressed by one hand to the edge of the plate. After pulling it off, both hands were used to fold it into the desired shape.
Therefore, the use of roll paper was extremely difficult for a physically handicapped person who can use only one hand. Recently, there has been a demand for welfare assisting devices that are easy to use for the elderly and the physically handicapped. The following techniques have been conventionally proposed for assisting devices that assist independence in using toilet paper. For example, Japanese Patent Publication No. 173 is a system in which toilet paper is sent out, lowered into a paper reservoir, folded up in an S shape and stacked, and cut into a certain size for use.
No. 2337, No. 5-4990, No. 5-282
No. 90 and manual type Kaikaihei 4-4896, etc., on the other hand, a method of rotating and winding a take-up bar consisting of two protruding bars and cutting it to a certain size for use JP-A-4-170926 and JP-A-6-2113
No. 90 and the like are disclosed.

[0003]

The above-mentioned method of supplying the paper in the form of simply folding the paper into an S shape and folding it, the folded paper is easy to collapse, and when it is used, it is easy to cause a slip. It had the drawback of being difficult. On the other hand, the method of winding the paper around the two bars inevitably causes the winding to be uncertain because the paper edge at the beginning of the winding is free, and it has a long length when used for any other separate use such as cleaning and wiping the equipment. It was difficult to use Sano drawers. Furthermore, the structure was complicated and there were problems in maintenance, and therefore the price was high. Recently, the use of shower washing toilets has become hygienic and easier for people with disabilities to use, but it takes time to dry the washing, so residual water is generally wiped off with paper. In this case, when using the toilet paper, it is possible to always use only one hand to obtain an appropriate amount of paper without excess or deficiency, and a low-priced take-up which is supplied in the form of an easy-to-use paper is supplied. A device was desired. In view of the current situation, the paper roll can be attached with only one hand, and the paper can be reliably and smoothly wound, and a hygienic cut-shaped paper with an easy-to-use shape can be obtained. An object of the present invention is to provide a winding device having a simple structure that allows easy taking out of free-length paper and the like.

[Means for Solving the Problems] In order to solve the problems described in the preceding paragraph, the present invention takes the following means. (1) The paper roll is installed by inserting it in the axial direction, and in order to prevent the roll from stabilizing and over-rotating when the remaining amount of paper is small, the conventionally used round shaft is eliminated and a square support bar is used. And (2) The winding body is provided with a paper-end holding part, and it is made to have a cylindrical shape so that it can be securely fixed, smooth winding, and the paper tension can be kept substantially constant, and multiple windings can be performed. (3) The mechanism for inserting and holding the paper edge on the winding body is simple, and the multi-rolled paper that has been wound can be easily removed horizontally. (4) The paper edge after cutting and separation shall be automatically fed to a length that makes it easy to grasp when used next time. (5) Use a cutting knife to cut the paper, and make a hygienic cut. (6) Winding is automatic and fixed-size winding.

[0005]

The present invention takes the measures described in the preceding paragraph, and when using toilet paper, it is possible to obtain a multi-rolled paper having a thickness and a length suitable for use by the operation with only one hand. When the paper roll is inserted into the square support bar in the axial direction, it is mounted in a fixed position by the positioning piece. Since the support bar is square, the roll posture is stable and over-rotated even when the remaining amount of paper is small. Are prevented. After being cut, the paper is fed by a cam-shaped feed roll to a certain length. The paper can be easily fixed by pushing the edge of the paper into the v-shaped holding portion of the winding body with a finger. Since the winding body is tubular, winding is smooth, and when the winding of the set length is completed, it stops at the original position by the sizing signal. The paper is manually cut and separated, and the paper wound on the winding body is gripped in the vicinity of the V-shape of the holding part and pulled out to the side, so that the paper with multiple folds and a sufficient folding diameter can be obtained. Is. It can also be used for other purposes such as wiping of instruments by pulling it out to a free length without using a winding body, manually cutting and separating.
