AI Technical Summary
Existing toilet paper holders generate vibration noise due to irregular spinning of the paper roll mandrel and vibrations from the paper cutter mandrel, causing unwanted sound during paper use.
The solution involves attaching a housing with a built-in bearing to the toilet paper holder, which sandwiches the paper roll between two housings, and using a flexible cushioning material to absorb vibrations between the paper cutter mandrel and the holder.
This design effectively eliminates vibration noise by stabilizing the paper roll mandrel and reducing vibrations from the paper cutter, providing a quieter user experience.

Abstract
Description
[Technical field]
[0001] The present invention relates to a toilet paper holder that does not emit the vibration noise that occurs when toilet paper is used. [Background technology]
[0002] Most toilet paper (hereinafter referred to as paper) currently in use has a paper tube in its rolls, and both ends of this roll are attached to the toilet paper holder's (hereinafter referred to as holder) roll axis. However, because the roll is not a precise circle and is light in weight, when the paper is removed, the rotating roll bounces in irregular directions, vibrating the roll axis and generating a vibration noise from the point of contact with the holder.
[0003] At the same time, the shaft supporting the paper cutter (hereinafter referred to as cutter) mounted on the top of the holder vibrates due to the rotation of the paper, generating a vibration noise from the contact point with the holder supporting the shaft. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]
[0004] [Patent Document 1] Patent Publication No. 2020-054712 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]
[0005] The goal is to eliminate two types of noise: the vibration noise caused by the contact point between the paper roll spindle and the holder when using the paper, and the vibration noise caused by the contact point between the spindle that supports the cutter and the holder. [Means for solving the problem]
[0006] The vibration noise caused by the contact point between the paper roll spindle and the holder has been eliminated by abandoning the conventional method of inserting the paper roll into the paper roll spindle attached to the holder.Instead, a housing in the shape of a cylinder with a bearing built in is attached to a cylindrical shaft fixed facing the left and right side panels of the holder, and a cone of the same diameter is placed on top of the cylindrical shaft.The paper roll is sandwiched between the housings opened on the left and right, and one of the side panels is slid toward the center to attach the paper roll to the holder.
[0007] The side panels on both sides are designed to be sliding, with the housing fixed to the back panel, and the housing has three or more triangular protrusions with a cross section of approximately 1 mm in a band-like shape from the top to the bottom of the cone-shaped housing to prevent the paper roll holder from slipping.
[0008] The vibration noise generated by the contact point between the holder and the core rod that supports the cutter is prevented by changing the method of attaching the cutter to the holder to a method in which a thin, flexible and elastic cushioning material is attached in a strip shape to the upper edge of the cutter on the paper side and then attached to the top of the back plate of the holder.

Claims
1. A method for attaching a toilet paper cutter to a toilet paper holder includes attaching a thin, flexible and elastic buffer material in a strip shape to the upper end edge of the toilet paper side of the toilet paper cutter and attaching the buffer material to the upper part of the back plate of the toilet paper holder, thereby preventing the generation of vibration noise from the joint between the toilet paper holder and the toilet paper cutter when using toilet paper.
2. The toilet paper holder's toilet paper holder's paper roll spindle, which keeps the toilet paper in a designated position, is made into a housing shaped like a cylinder with a bearing built into the center and a cone of the same diameter attached to it, which holds the paper roll in place from both sides.This causes the housing that holds both ends of the paper roll in place to rotate as the toilet paper rotates, making it possible to pull out the toilet paper silently without generating vibration.
