Description

  The present invention relates to a toilet paper holder of a type using roll-shaped toilet paper, and more particularly to a toilet paper holder provided with a paper receiver for receiving paper and a paper receiver for the toilet paper holder.

  Conventionally, as a holder of this type, for example, a roll-shaped toilet paper is held by a main body that holds the core horizontally, a bowl-shaped cover that covers the upper surface of the main body, and the toilet paper described above is automatically used. Some motors are formed to include a motor that feeds out and a paper receiver that receives toilet paper that is fed downward by the motor (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

Thus, as described in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2004-133620, the conventional paper receiver is usually formed such that the upper surface is formed in a concave curve shape or simply in a flat shape.
Therefore, in the case of the conventional product, the paper placed on the upper surface of the paper receiver was folded unevenly in a trapezoidal shape when viewed from the side, with the width in the front-rear direction becoming narrower toward the top. Therefore, according to the conventional product, there is a problem that, for example, it is necessary to adjust the length by adjusting the length, which is troublesome and unusable.
