Roll paper feeder

Abstract

A roll paper feeder provided with no operating switch on the outside. A sensor for monitoring the movement of a paper reads out the operation of a user for pulling out the paper or stopping the pulling operation. A control program is started by a signal from the sensor and the roll paper feeder performs cutting or feeding of paper automatically. Consequently, the user is not required to operate any switch. The roll paper feeder reads out the intension of the user accurately through movement of the paper. Even a person having one handicapped arm, an infant, an aged person or a person deprived of one's eyesight can pull out and cut a roll paper, e.g. a toilet paper, a cooking paper or a paper towel, readily in safety with one hand.
