Description

  The present invention relates to a guide member for household thin paper, and more particularly to a guide member used by being attached to a household thin paper dispenser.

  There is a household thin paper dispenser in which a bundle of a plurality of household thin papers folded and stacked is stored in a replaceable manner and can be pulled out one by one from the bottom outlet. Paper towels are typical of household thin paper often used in such dispensers. And in this paper towel, although there is a slight difference in the size and the size for each type in the manufacturer, such as large size, medium size, small size, S, M, L size or small size, medium size, large size, The size is roughly divided into three standards.

  In recent years, paper towels have been improved in water absorption and other functions, and due to increased eco-consciousness, paper towels with large paper sizes, such as large and medium, have been changed to paper towels with smaller paper, such as small paper. Transition is progressing.

  However, the conventional dispensers are made exclusively for the size of the bundle, with guide materials that match the size of the paper towel bundle for large format, medium format, and small format. When a paper towel having a size smaller than the paper towel assumed by the dispenser is used, there is a problem that the guide mechanism of the guide material does not work and the drawer cannot be smoothly performed.

  For this reason, if an installer or owner of a paper towel dispenser for large-sized or medium-sized paper towels tries to move to a paper towel with a small-sized paper surface, it is necessary to purchase and replace the dispenser itself. There was a problem of cost and labor.

  Next, an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to FIGS.

  First, the example of the household thin paper dispenser used as the attachment object of the guide body concerning this invention is demonstrated. This household thin paper dispenser 100 (hereinafter simply referred to as dispenser) includes a bundle of household thin paper 2 having a substantially rectangular parallelepiped shape inside a housing 1 made of a synthetic resin such as ABS resin or a metal material. 2A is housed, and the household thin paper 2 constituting the bundle 2A is pulled out one by one from the outlet 13 formed in the bottom plate portion 30 and used.

  The housing 1 is located on the bottom side between the front plate portion 10, the back plate portion 20 that faces the front plate portion 10, and the front plate portion 10 and the back plate portion 20. 2 and a bottom plate portion 30 having a take-out port 13 extending in the width direction. The front plate portion 10 is attached in a hatched manner via a shaft (not shown), and is indicated by a one-dot chain line in FIG. By pulling down the front plate portion 10 to the front as described above, the housing 1 is opened to the front, and the bundle 2A of household thin paper 2 can be stored inside the housing. In addition, in the form of illustration, although the backplate part 20 and the baseplate part 30 are a different body, these may be an integral structure.

  On the other hand, the dispenser 100 is provided with a thin plate-like existing guide portion 50 that protrudes in the facing direction from the front plate portion 10 and the back plate portion 20 and extends in the vertical direction. 4, the end portion 51 on the bottom plate portion side of the guide portion 50 partially bites into the bundle 2 </ b> A accommodated therein, thereby supporting a part on the upper side of the bundle 2 </ b> A and The load on the bundle is reduced, and the lower side of the bundle is appropriately guided to the bottom side so that the household thin paper at the bottom of the bundle can be smoothly separated and pulled out from the outlet 13.

  Therefore, the distance between the facing guide portions 50 (the distance between the tips 51) is set according to the size (length in the front-rear direction) of the bundle 2A formed by the standard household thin paper 2 assumed by the dispenser 100. Thus, a bundle having a length in the front-rear direction shorter than the interval between the existing guide portions 50 facing each other falls into the bottom plate portion 30 side and cannot be smoothly drawn out.

  The length in the front-rear direction of a bundle of household thin paper varies depending on the standard when a paper towel is taken as an example, but a bundle of paper towels referred to as large, medium, etc. A bundle of paper towels is about 75 to 95 mm. In addition, in the form of illustration, although it has the shape which has the convex part which protrudes a little on the front board side and back board side which the edge part 51 by the side of the baseplate part of the guide part 50 faces, such convex part 51 is Instead, it may be a shape in which the tip or tip portion is formed in a shape that is inclined downward from the top to the bottom. In general, the guide portion 50 has such an end portion, and the interval between the guide portions is the interval between the tips of the portions that bite into the bundle, and the same applies to the present invention.

On the other hand, the guide member 6 of the present embodiment attached to such a dispenser 100, as shown in FIG. 5, before and mounting member having a mounting surface 61 for the plate portion 10 or rear plate section 20, to the mounting member 60A On the other hand, an inverted state and a lying state with respect to the mounting surface 61 can be selected by being pivotably connected, and a protruding length L1 from the mounting surface 61 in the inverted state is a length in the existing guide portion 50 of the dispenser 100. And a guide member 60B having a rear guide portion 62 that is longer than the protruding length L2 from the front plate portion 10 or the back plate portion 20.

  The attachment member 60 </ b> A and the guide member 60 </ b> B are thin plate-like, and the thickness of the guide body 6 as a whole is at least thinner than the protruding length L <b> 2 of the guide portion 50 already provided in the dispenser 100. Further, in the illustrated guide body 6, the mounting member 60A and the guide member 60B are rotatably connected to the shaft center 63 to form a flat hinge, whereby the guide member 60B is attached to the mounting member 60A. An inverted state or a lying state can be selected with respect to the mounting surface 61. However, the guide member 60B and the attachment member 60A do not have to be connected to form a flat hinge, and the guide member 60B can be selected from the attachment member 60A in an inverted state and a lying state with respect to the attachment surface 61. If there is, it will not be specifically limited. For example, the guide member 60B and the attachment member 60A may be connected with a plastic deformation material. Further, when the attachment member 60A and the guide member 60B are pivotally connected by a shaft, a known ratchet mechanism or its release mechanism is incorporated so that the guide member 60B is attached to the attachment surface 61 of the attachment member 60A. It may be temporarily fixed in an inverted state.

  When the guide body 6 is attached to the front plate portion 10 or the back plate portion 20 of the dispenser 100, the mounting surface 61 comes into contact with the plate portions 10, 20, and the guide body 6 in the form shown in the figure is attached to the mounting surface 61. An adhesive 64 is provided, and the guide body 6 is attached by the adhesive 64 in a state where the attachment surface 61 is in contact with the front plate portion 10 or the back plate portion 20. The attachment means for attaching the guide body 6 to the dispenser 100 is not limited to the adhesive 64, and may be performed by an adhesive or other known locking mechanism. For example, although not shown, a locking groove or a recess is provided on the dispenser side, and on the other hand, a locking claw portion protruding from the mounting surface is provided on the guide body, and this claw portion is locked to the locking groove or the like. In this way, it may be attached. Moreover, if an adhesive or an adhesive is used, an appropriate adhesive or adhesive may be selected according to the guide body or dispenser.

  The rear guide part 62 in the guide body 6 has a slightly convex one end 65 similarly to the guide part 50 already provided in the dispenser 100, and the front plate part 10 or the back plate part via the mounting surface 61. When the guide member 60B is inverted, the protruding length L1 from the front plate portion 10 or the back plate portion 20 is set to be longer than the protruding length L2 of the existing guide portion 50. Has been. In the illustrated embodiment, the distance L1 from the shaft center 63 is longer than the protruding length L2 of the existing guide portion 50, whereby the above protruding length is achieved. The length in the direction orthogonal to the protruding direction of the retrofitting guide portion 62, the length in the axial direction can be set as appropriate in the illustrated form. For example, the length in the vertical direction of the guide portion 50 already installed in the dispenser 100 can be set. Can be about.

  About the magnitude | size of 60 A of attachment members, what is necessary is just an appropriate magnitude | size which can attach the guide body 6 to the dispenser 100, and is not necessarily limited. If the adhesive 64 is attached to the dispenser 100 as in the form shown in the drawing, the size may be such that an adhesive area capable of ensuring sufficient adhesiveness is obtained. Therefore, in the illustrated form, the length in the axial direction is the same as that of the retrofit guide portion 62, but it is not always necessary to match the length of the retrofit guide portion 62.

  Here, the mounting and use mode of the guide body 6 to the dispenser 100 will be described in detail. This guide body is particularly suitable for the above-mentioned dispenser 100, as shown in FIGS. The attachment surface 61 is attached to the front plate portion 10 or the back plate portion 20 through the attachment surface 61 by 64 or the like. At this time, the guide body 6 is not positioned so as to cover the existing guide portion 50. Further, the guide member 60B is set at a position where the inverted state and the lying down state can be selected, preferably at a position where the guide member 60B is in a lying down state until it is parallel to the front plate portion 10 or the back plate portion 20. Further, when the guide member 60B is turned upside down, it is attached in the direction in which the rear guide part 62 is configured along the vertical direction of the dispenser 100. In the illustrated embodiment, the guide body 6 is attached to an outer position in the width direction of the existing guide portion 50 with the axial direction of the guide body 6 being along the vertical direction of the dispenser 100.

  As described above, in the dispenser 100 to which the guide body 6 according to the present embodiment is attached, when the guide member 60B is in the lying down state, as shown in FIGS. Close to the back plate portion 20, the guide body 6 has a flat plate shape and is positioned parallel to the front plate portion 10 or the back plate portion 20, and only the existing guide portion 50 is provided from each plate portion 10, 20. The projecting state is achieved, and a bundle of household thin paper 2A that can be supported by the existing guide unit 50, for example, a large-size, medium-size, or other paper towel bundle, can be supported. As shown in FIGS. 9 and 10, when the guide member 60B of the guide body 6 is turned upside down, the protruding length L1 of the subsequent guide portion 62 is equal to the protruding length L2 of the existing guide portion 50. Because of the longer length, the tip of the retrofit guide portion 62 is positioned on the center side in the front-rear direction of the dispenser 100 beyond the tip of the existing guide portion 50, thereby the bundle supported by the existing guide portion 50. A bundle of household thin paper 2B having a standard smaller than 2A, for example, a bundle of paper towels such as an oval can be supported.

  Thus, the guide body 6 of this embodiment is attached to the dispenser 100, and the existing guide part 50 and the retrofitted guide part 62 are selected by selecting the inverted state and the fallen state of the guide member 60B. The function is given to the dispenser 100. And since the protrusion length from each plate part 10 and 20 of the existing guide part 50 and the retrofit guide part 62 differs, it comes to be able to respond to the bundles 2A and 2B of paper towels of different sizes. In addition, this guide body 6 may be provided only by a guide body to be used for a dispenser that is already installed and used, or may be provided as a set with a dispenser. Moreover, you may attach and use for a dispenser beforehand. The aspect of providing the guide body is not limited to the present invention. In addition, the household thin paper in the present invention is not particularly limited as long as it is used in this type of dispenser, and is typically a paper towel mainly used for hand wiping as described above. Examples include wipes mainly used, industrial products and equipment, waste mainly used for wiping tools, kitchen paper mainly used in kitchens, and meat paper mainly used for foods.
