The rotating body 10 has its upper end supported by a rotating shaft 10a on the upper ends of both side plates 1a at approximately the center of the holder body 1 so as to be rotatable upwardly in the front direction. A partition plate 11 is integrally formed at the lower part of the rotating body 10 and extends horizontally inside the holder main body 1 at a substantially intermediate position between the upper storage part 2 and the lower storage part 3. Rotating body 10 that can be rotated in this way
Since the partition plate 11 is provided in the partition plate 11, the partition plate 1
1 is the upper storage part 2 and lower storage part 3 of the holder main body 1
However, when the rotating body 10 is pulled forward, the rotating shaft 10 is located at an intermediate position as shown by the broken line in FIG.
When the partition plate 11 is rotated forward and upward using a as a fulcrum, the partition plate 11
is pulled out from inside the holder main body 1 while rotating together with the rotating body 10. When the rotating body 10 is closed and the partition plate 11 is housed in the holder main body 1, the spare paper roll B placed in the upper storage part 2 is placed on the partition plate 11 as shown in FIG. and retained. In addition, as described above, the partition plate 11
When it is pulled out, the spare paper roll B can fall from the upper storage part 2 to the lower storage part 3 because the partition disappears.

A spindle 4 provided on the bottom plate 1b of the partition plate 11
A movable shaft 13 is provided at an upper position corresponding to the movable shaft 13, which projects downwardly and retractably. This movable axis 1
3 is attached to a recess 14 provided on the lower surface of the partition plate 11 via a spring 15, as shown in FIG. ing. In addition, the movable shaft 13, like the support shaft 4, is formed in a size that allows the hole of the winding core C of the feeding paper roll A to fit smoothly, and the outer circumferential edge of its tip 13a fits into the hole of the winding core C. However, it has a large chamfer to ensure a secure fit.

In the movable shaft 13, the partition plate 11 is connected to the holder main body 1.
The upper end of the winding core C of the feed-out paper roll A stored in the lower storage part 3 is fitted in the state stored inside. The feeding paper roll A has the movable shaft 13 fitted to the upper end of the winding core C, and the bottom plate 1b fitted to the lower end.
By fitting the supporting shaft 4 of the lower housing part 3, it is rotatably held within the lower housing part 3. In this state, the paper roll A is rewound, and the paper is pulled out from the outlet 5 and used.

In this embodiment, the rotary body 10 is formed in the shape of a cover that covers the upper storage portion 2 from the outside as shown in the figure.

For example, a lever-like member that rotatably supports the partition plate 11 may be used. Further, the movable shaft 13 may also be of any type as long as it projects retractably or retractably from the partition plate 11, and its structure and shape are not limited to those of the above-mentioned embodiments. Further, the spring 15 that supports the movable shaft 13 in a retractable and retractable manner is not limited to a spring, but may be any material that provides elasticity, such as a plate spring.

Next, the loading operation of the spare paper roll B in the toilet paper roll holder of this embodiment constructed as described above will be explained with reference to FIGS. 3A to 3D.

When the use of the feeding paper roll A in the lower storage section 3 is finished and the winding core C remains,
First, as shown in FIG. 3A, the rotating body 10 is pulled forward and rotated. When the rotating body 10 rotates, the partition plate 1
1 is pulled forward and upward from inside the holder body 1, the winding core C is tilted outward together with the partition plate 11, and the upper end of the winding core C is gradually removed from the movable shaft 13. At this time, the partition plate 11 is pulled out while being lifted forward and upward as the rotating body 10 rotates, so as it is pulled out, the movable shaft 13 is removed upwardly from the upper end of the winding core C. For this reason,
The winding core C can be pulled out very easily. When the rotary body 10 is further rotated as shown in FIG. comes off from the partition plate 11 and falls automatically, and is placed on the bottom plate 1b of the lower storage section 3 as shown in FIG. 3C. At this time, the winding core C of the fallen preliminary paper roll B fits into the support shaft 4 of the bottom plate 1b.

Next, as shown in FIG. 3C, the rotating body 10 is moved to the third
When the movable shaft 13 rotates toward the holder main body 1 side from the state shown in Figure B, the movable shaft 13 comes into contact with the top surface of the fallen spare paper roll B and is pushed. slide. Then, when the rotating body 10 is completely returned to the closed state, the third
As shown in FIG. D, the movable shaft 13 is projected by the elastic force of the spring 15 and fitted onto the upper end of the winding core C of the preliminary paper roll B. As a result, the preliminary paper roll B is rotatably held by the support shaft 4 and the movable shaft 13 in the same manner as the above-mentioned delivery paper roll A, and is used as the delivery paper roll A. Due to the above,
Loading of the spare paper roll B is completed. After loading, the opening/closing lid 6 is opened as shown in FIG. 3D, and a new spare paper roll is stored in the upper storage section 2.

Note that the end portion 11a of the partition plate 11 is formed into a tapered surface as shown in FIG. 2, and as shown in FIG. It is designed to prevent damage to the parts.

[Effects of the Invention] As explained above, according to the present invention, the rotating body rotatably supported on the holder main body is provided with a partition plate for holding a spare paper roll, and the partition plate is provided with a winding core of a fed-out paper roll. By providing a movable shaft that fits into the rotating body, the remaining core can be pulled out and a spare paper roll loaded simply by rotating the rotating body, pulling out the partition plate, and returning it to its original position. This eliminates the need to directly insert your hand into the narrow holder to pull it out, making it extremely easy to load paper rolls. Also,
Since the winding core is pulled out by the lever action of the outward rotation of the rotating body, it also has the effect that the winding core can be pulled out with a light force.
