Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention is a method for holding a paper roll that is used by unwinding a paper wound into a roll shape and a spare paper roll arranged above and below. Relating to a toilet paper roll holder.

[Prior Art] Conventionally, a paper roll holder that holds a feed-out paper roll for rewinding paper and an unused spare paper roll arranged vertically has been used.
For example, Japanese Patent Publication No. 59-4129 discloses a system in which the core of the paper roll is pulled out after use, and a spare paper roll is automatically lowered to the set position of the paper roll to load the paper roll.

When loading the paper roll, in the conventional holder, the remaining core was pulled out by directly inserting a hand into the holder.

[Problems to be Solved] In the conventional toilet paper roll holder described above, as mentioned above, when loading the paper roll, the core remaining in the holder must be pulled out by directly inserting the hand, and the holder is narrow. Since it is necessary to insert one's hand into the core and to draw it out with a certain amount of force, it is troublesome to pull out the core, and the paper roll cannot be loaded easily.

[Means for Solving Problems] The present invention, which solves the above-mentioned conventional problems, provides a toilet paper roll holder that holds a dispensing paper roll to be used and a spare paper roll arranged vertically. It has an upper storage part that stores the paper roll, and a lower storage part that stores the paper roll so that the paper roll can be taken out.
A holder body having a lower support shaft inserted into the lower end of the winding core of the feeding paper roll is formed on the bottom surface of the lower storage part, and a rotating body is provided on the outside of the upper storage part of the holder body so as to be rotatable in an upright manner. In addition, the rotary body is provided with a partition plate that is rotatably located between the upper storage part and the lower storage part in the holder main body and that holds the spare paper roll therein.
The partition plate is provided with a through hole that communicates with the top and bottom, and an upper support shaft that protrudes downwardly from the lower surface of the partition plate is provided in the through hole, and this upper support shaft is used for the feeding paper. It is inserted into the upper end of the winding core of the roll, and is configured to be removed from the upper end of the winding core of the feeding paper roll when the partition plate is rotated and pulled out to the outside.

[Example] Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings showing a preferred example.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a toilet paper roll holder according to an embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 2 is a longitudinal sectional view,
3 is a cross-sectional view, FIG. 4 is an enlarged view of the main part of FIG. 2, and FIG. 5 is a partial perspective view of FIG. 4. The holder of this embodiment includes a holder main body 1 for storing a feeding paper roll A and a spare paper roll B, and a partition plate 11 rotatably attached to the holder main body 1.
The rotary body 10 is provided with a rotating body 10.

The holder main body 1 continuously includes an upper storage section 2 for storing a spare paper roll B in the upper part, and a lower storage part 3 for storing the delivered paper roll A in the lower part,
The side plates 1a, 1a, the bottom plate 1b, and the back plate 1c form a substantially U-shaped cross section. In addition, on the top thereof, a front plate 1d located at the front of the upper storage section 2 is provided.
extends continuously from both side plates 1a, 1a.

A lower support shaft 4 is provided on the upper surface of the bottom plate 1b of the lower storage section 3 to rotatably hold the lower end of the winding core C of the feeding paper roll A at the center position of the holder.
This lower support shaft 4 is formed in a size that allows the hole of the winding core C to fit smoothly therein. In addition, the outer peripheral edge of the tip is largely chamfered as shown in the figure, so that the hole of the winding core C of the spare paper roll B falling from the upper storage part 2 to the lower storage part 3 will fit securely as described later. It's starting to fit together.

On the front of the lower storage section 3, there is a paper roll A to be fed out.
A take-out opening 5 is formed from which the paper can be taken out by unwinding the paper. Further, the front edges of the side plates 1a, 1a located on both sides of the outlet 5 are provided with sawtooth portions 1e for cutting the paper taken out.

An opening/closing lid 6 is provided on the upper surface of the upper storage portion 2 of the holder body 1 so as to be openable and closable by a shaft 6a.
The opening/closing lid 6 is opened to replenish the upper storage section 2 with spare paper rolls B.

The rotary body 10 is formed in the shape of a cover with a U-shaped cross section that covers the upper housing part 2 of the holder body 1 from the front, and its upper end is attached to the upper ends of the side plates 1a at approximately the center of the holder body 1. It is rotatably supported in the upper front part by a rotation shaft 10a. 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. By providing the partition plate 11 on the rotating body 10 that can stand up and rotate in this way, the rotating body 10 can be rotated in the second position.
In the closed state, as shown by the solid line in the figure, the partition plate 11 is located at an intermediate position between the upper storage part 2 and the lower storage part 3 of the holder main body 1, but when the rotating body 10 is pulled forward, as shown in FIG. As shown by the broken line, when the partition plate 11 is rotated in the upper front part using the rotation shaft 10a 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.

At an upper position of the partition plate 11 corresponding to the lower support shaft 4 provided on the bottom plate 1b, there is provided an upper support shaft 13 that protrudes downward and retracts freely. This upper support shaft 13 is connected to the partition plate 11 as shown in FIGS.
It is attached so as to hang down under its own weight in a through hole 14 provided so as to communicate vertically. This upper support shaft 13 is provided with a flange 13a having a diameter that almost matches the inner diameter of the through hole 14 on the upper surface, and the inside of the through hole 14 is connected to the flange 13a.
It moves up and down guided by 3a. Further, from the upper surface of the partition plate 11, the upper support shaft 1
3, and as shown in FIG. 5 from the upper surface of the through hole 14, a key 16 (to be described later) is inserted and the upper support shaft 13 is pulled upward to allow the upper end of the winding core C of the paper roll A to be exposed. It is possible to release the lock. Furthermore, the flange 13a has a notch 13.
b is provided and engaged with the corner wall 14a of the through hole 14,
The upper support shaft 13 is prevented from rotating. Further, the collar 13a of the upper support shaft 13 is locked to the lower edge of the through hole 14 to prevent it from falling from below, and also comes into contact with the upper edge to prevent it from being pulled out from above. Further, like the lower support shaft 4, the upper support shaft 13 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 peripheral edge of the lower end 13c is formed on the winding core C. It has a large chamfer to ensure a secure fit into the hole. In addition, the above-mentioned upper support shaft 13 can also be made to be freely retractable below the partition plate 11 by the elastic force of a spring or the like.

The upper support shaft 13 has a partition plate 11 that 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 above-mentioned upper support 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 lower support shaft 4, the lower storage part 3
It is rotatably held within the In this state, unwind the paper roll A and remove it from the outlet 5.
Pull the paper out and use it.

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.
1 can be rotatably supported relative to the holder body 1, and its structure is not specified at all.
For example, a lever-like member that rotatably supports the partition plate 11 may be used. Further, the upper support 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 embodiments.

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. 6A to 6D.

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. 6A, the rotary member 10 is pulled forward and rotated. When the rotating body 10 rotates, the partition plate 11
is pulled forward and upward from inside the holder body 1, so that 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 upper support 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 that the upper support shaft 13 is removed upwardly from the upper end of the winding core C as it is pulled out. For this reason,
The winding core C can be pulled out very easily. When the rotating body 10 is further rotated as shown in FIG. The paper roll B comes off the partition plate 11 and automatically falls, and is placed on the bottom plate 1b of the lower storage section 3 as shown in FIG. 6C. At this time, the winding core C of the fallen preliminary paper roll B fits into the lower support shaft 4 of the bottom plate 1b.

Next, as shown in FIG. 6C, the rotating body 10 is
When the upper support shaft 13 is rotated toward the holder main body 1 side from the state shown in Figure B, the upper support shaft 13 comes into contact with the upper surface of the fallen spare paper roll B and is pushed. Sliding. When the rotating body 10 is completely returned to the closed state, the upper support shaft 13 projects downward under its own weight and fits onto the upper end of the winding core C of the preliminary paper roll B, as shown in FIG. 6D. As a result, the preliminary paper roll B is rotatably held by the lower support shaft 4 and the upper support shaft 13 in the same way as the delivery paper roll A, and is used as the delivery paper roll A. With the above steps, loading of the spare paper roll B is completed. Also, after loading, the 6th
As shown in Figure D, the opening/closing lid 6 is opened and a new spare paper roll is stored in the upper storage section 2.

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. 6B, when the preliminary paper roll B falls, the outer circumference of the paper roll is It is designed to prevent damage to the parts.

Note that the paper roll loaded in the lower storage section 3 cannot be taken out from the outlet of the lower storage section 3 even if the rotating body 10 is rotated as shown in FIG. 6A. That is, since the width of the outlet 5 is narrower than the width of the paper roll, it is impossible to rotate the rotating body 10 as shown in FIGS. 6A and 6B. Therefore, when removing the entire paper roll inside the lower storage section 3 when cleaning the lower storage section 3 or when the paper inside the lower storage section 3 becomes dirty with water, etc. As described above, when the upper support shaft 13 is lifted upward from the upper surface of the through hole 14 using the key 16 to release the lock between the upper support shaft 13 and the winding core C, and the rotating body 10 is rotated in this state, the paper is removed. Since the locking relationship between the paper roll and the upper support shaft 13 can be released while the roll remains in the lower storage part 3, the paper roll can be pulled up into the upper storage part 2 and then pulled out from the top surface of the main body. I can do it. Note that the upper support shaft 13 can be pulled upward by using another instrument instead of the key 16.

Next, in the holder body 1, as shown in FIG.
A lock portion 15 is provided on the upper side surface, and the opening/closing lid 6 cannot be opened or closed unless it is unlocked with a key 16. As a result, when the toilet paper roll holder of the present invention is installed outside a general home, it is prevented that anyone other than the administrator cannot take out the paper inside the holder body without permission.

[Effects of the invention] As explained above, according to the present invention, the rotating body rotatably supported on the holder 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 an upper support shaft that fits into the rotating body, the remaining core can be pulled out and a spare paper roll can be loaded by simply rotating the rotating body to pull out the partition plate and returning it to its original position. This eliminates the need to directly insert a hand into a narrow holder to pull it out, making it extremely easy to load paper rolls.
In addition, since the winding core is pulled out by the lever action of the outward rotation of the rotary body, it also has the effect that the winding core can be pulled out with a light force.

Furthermore, the paper roll loaded in the lower storage section cannot be removed in its entirety from the take-out port, and since it can be pulled up through the upper surface of the upper support shaft, it cannot be freely removed from above. There is an effect that can be done.
