Benefits of technology

The present invention provides a paper holder device with a driving mechanism that can be switched automatically, reducing the number of motors and simplifying the driving mechanism. The device includes a paper supporting mechanism, a paper feeding mechanism, a paper receiving part, and a paper cutting mechanism. Additionally, the device includes sensors to detect the presence of a human hand and the absence of paper, and the device can be attached to a vertical wall in a toilet space or a person's convenience. The device also provides an outlet portion in a part corresponding to any one side wall, making it more convenient for the user to take the paper out of the device.

Problems solved by technology

In addition, the cutter is constituted of a stationary cutter that is fixedly disposed and a movable cutter that is reciprocated horizontally by a crank mechanism, and the oscillating mechanism for the movable cutter is complicated.
The cutter is constituted of a stationary blade and a movable blade that is swung into contact with and away from the stationary blade, and the oscillating mechanism for the movable blade is complicated.

first embodiment

I: First Embodiment

[0056]FIG. 1 to FIG. 4 show a paper holder device 1 according to a first embodiment of the present invention. The paper holder device 1, which is attached, for example, to a vertical wall W of a toilet, holds therein a paper roll 10 made by rolling toilet paper, feeds a predetermined length of paper 10a from the paper roll 10 in response to a request from a user, folds the paper 10a in a zigzag fashion, and cuts the folded paper 10a at a position close to the paper roll 10 to make it usable, and is configured to perform the series of operations from feeding to cutting of the paper 10a automatically. The automation saves the user the time and effort to pull, fold and tear the paper 10a with his or her hands. This is favorable especially to elderly people.

[0057]The paper holder device 1, which performs the series of operations automatically, includes a holder main body 2, which is described below, a paper receiving part 3 disposed in a lower part of the holder main ...

second embodiment

II: Second Embodiment

[0112]FIG. 22 to FIG. 24 show the paper holder device 1 according to a second embodiment of the present invention.

[0113]The paper holder device 1, which is slightly different in appearance (for example, the shape of the paper receiving part 3) from the paper holder device according to the first embodiment but is the same in basic configuration as the paper holder device according to the first embodiment, includes a holder main body 2, a paper receiving part 3 located in a lower part of the holder main body 2, and an access cover 4 for opening and closing a part of the holder main body 2 from one side to top as needed, and the paper supporting mechanism 5, the paper feeding mechanism 6, the paper cutting mechanism 7 and the paper folding mechanism 8 are disposed in the inner chamber 20 of the holder main body 2.

[0114]Because the configuration and function of the paper supporting mechanism 5, the paper feeding mechanism 6, the paper cutting mechanism 7 and the pap...

third embodiment

III: Third Embodiment

[0127]FIG. 25 to FIG. 28 show the paper holder device 1 according to a third embodiment of the present invention.

[0128]The paper holder device 1, which is slightly different in appearance from the paper holder device according to the first embodiment as is the case with paper holder device 1 according to the second embodiment but is the same in basic configuration as the paper holder device according to the first embodiment, includes a holder main body 2, a paper receiving part 3 located in a lower part of the holder main body 2, and an access cover 4 for opening and closing a part of the holder main body 2 from one side to top as needed, and the paper supporting mechanism 5, the paper feeding mechanism 6, the paper cutting mechanism 7 and the paper folding mechanism 8 are disposed in the inner chamber 20 of the holder main body 2.

[0129]Because the configuration and function of the paper supporting mechanism 5, the paper feeding mechanism 6, the paper cutting me...

Abstract

A paper holder device to simplify the structure and reduce the cost and size of a paper holder device in which paper is fed from a paper roll and cut automatically by electrically-driven means. The paper holder device includes a paper supporting mechanism, a paper feeding mechanism, a paper receiving part, and a paper cutting mechanism for cutting paper, and the paper feeding mechanism and the paper cutting mechanism are configured to be alternatively driven by a single driving gear mechanism.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD[0001]The present invention relates to a paper holder device which holds a paper roll made by rolling toilet paper, and can feed the paper from the paper roll and fold and cut the paper automatically in response to a request from a user.BACKGROUND ART[0002]A variety of technologies for assisting and supporting the daily activities of elderly people has been proposed based on the awareness of welfare growing with the progress of the aging society. For example, a technology for making it easier to take paper out of a paper holder device for a toilet paper has been proposed (refer to Patent Literatures 1 and 2).[0003]A paper holder device disclosed in Patent Literature 1 is configured such that paper is pinched and pulled from a paper roll supported on a mandrel by a pair of feed rollers, folded sequentially, and cut by a cutter disposed between the folding part and the pinching part. In this case, a motor for driving the feed rollers and a motor for driving the cutter a...
