[0003] In view of the above-described circumstances, an object of the present invention is to provide a toilet paper cutter capable of cutting toilet paper straight.

Means for Solving the Problems

[0004] The toilet paper cutter according to the invention described in claim 1 for achieving the above object is detachably attached to the tip of the upper lid of a toilet paper holder, and is configured by connecting a left member and a right member so as to be slidable relative to each other in the left-right direction, and has a clamping portion for clamping the upper lid from the front and back, and a blade portion for cutting toilet paper, and is characterized in that the left-right dimension can be adjusted according to the upper lid.

[0005] The toilet paper cutter according to the invention described in claim 2, in addition to the configuration of the invention described in claim 1, further includes an advertisement holder capable of holding an advertisement, and the advertisement holder is characterized in that it is placed on the upper lid and clamped by the clamping portion.

Effects of the Invention

[0006] The toilet paper cutter according to the invention described in claim 1 is detachably attached to the tip of the upper lid of the toilet paper holder. It is configured by connecting a left member and a right member so that they can slide relative to each other in the left-right direction. It has a clamping part for clamping the upper lid from the front and back, and a blade part for cutting the toilet paper. Since the left and right dimensions can be adjusted according to the upper lid, by attaching this cutter, toilet paper without perforations can be cut straight. Moreover, it can be easily attached to the upper lid of any existing toilet paper holder, and the cutter will not protrude from the upper lid or be shorter than the width of the upper lid, so it is excellent in versatility and convenience.

[0007] The toilet paper cutter according to the invention described in claim 2 is provided with an advertisement holder capable of holding an advertisement. The advertisement holder is placed on the upper lid and clamped by the clamping part, so that the advertisement can be shown to the toilet user, and an advertising and promotional effect can be obtained. Moreover, since the advertisement can be replaced, it is easy to use.

Modes for Carrying Out the Invention

[0009] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIGS. 1 and 2 show an embodiment of the toilet paper cutter 1 of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 1, this toilet paper cutter 1 is detachably attached to the tip of the upper lid 2 of an existing toilet paper holder 6.

[0010] As shown in Figs. 1 and 2, this toilet paper cutter 1 is composed of two members, a left member 3a and a right member 3b. The left member 3a and the right member 3b are formed of a hard resin, and as shown in Fig. 1, they have an arcuate portion 9 with a substantially C-shaped cross section, a tapered portion 10 that spreads out in a substantially inverted V shape, and a clamping portion 4 formed between the arcuate portion 9 and the tapered portion 10 for clamping the upper lid 2 from the front and back. A saw-tooth-like blade portion 5 is formed along the entire length at the tip of one piece 10a on the lower side of the tapered portion 10. The left member 3a and the right member 3b are slidably connected to each other in the left-right direction by fitting the right member 3b inside the left member 3a, as shown in Fig. 2(a), so that the overall left-right dimension L can be adjusted according to the upper lid 2.

[0011] As a modification, if an angle adjustment portion formed of a metal such as iron is provided at the base portion of one piece 10a on the lower side of the tapered portion 10 where the blade portion 5 is formed, the angle of the blade portion 5 can be adjusted by bending it with the angle adjustment portion. It is also possible to form the entire left member 3a and right member 3b of a metal such as iron so that the angle of the blade portion 5 can be adjusted.

[0012] Furthermore, this toilet paper cutter 1 is provided with an advertisement holder 8 capable of holding a sheet-like advertisement 7. The advertisement holder 8 uses a plastic bag with a chuck, and the advertisement 7 to be inserted can be easily replaced by opening the chuck 11. As shown in Fig. 1, the advertisement holder 8 is installed by being stacked on the upper lid 2 and clamped together with the upper lid 2 by the clamping portion 4. Note that the advertisement holder 8 may be only clamped by the clamping portion 4, but as shown in Fig. 2(a), by fixing it to the upper piece 10b of the tapered portion 10 with a fixture 12 such as a snap button, it is possible to prevent the advertisement holder 8 from shifting or coming off.

[0013] This toilet paper cutter 1 is installed by inserting an advertisement holder 8 containing an advertisement item 7 and fitting it into the tip of the upper lid 2 from the front or side. When installed, the spring property of the arc-shaped part 9 causes the clamping part 4 to clamp the upper lid 2 from both the front and back, and it can be installed firmly without rattling regardless of the material and thickness of the upper lid 2. After installation, the left member 3a and the right member 3b are slid relative to each other in the left-right direction to adjust the overall left-right dimension L to match the upper lid 2 (see Fig. 2(a)).

[0014] When this toilet paper cutter 1 is installed on the upper lid 2, while holding the upper lid 2 with one hand, the toilet paper 13 pulled out with the other hand is pulled obliquely upward, and the blade part 5 can neatly cut the toilet paper 13 without perforations straightly.

[0015] As described above, this toilet paper cutter 1 is detachably attached to the tip of the upper lid 2 of the toilet paper holder 6, and is configured by connecting the left member 3a and the right member 3b so as to be slidable relative to each other in the left-right direction. It has a clamping part 4 that clamps the upper lid 2 from both the front and back, and a blade part 5 for cutting the toilet paper 13. Since the left-right dimension L can be adjusted according to the upper lid 2, by installing this cutter 1, the toilet paper 13 without perforations can be cut straightly. Moreover, it can be easily installed on the upper lid 2 of any existing toilet paper holder 6, and the cutter 1 does not protrude from the upper lid 2 or is shorter than the width of the upper lid 2, so it has excellent versatility and convenience.

[0016] Furthermore, this toilet paper cutter 1 is provided with an advertisement item holder 8 capable of holding the advertisement item 7. The advertisement item holder 8 is placed on the upper lid 2 and clamped by the clamping part 4, so that the advertisement item 7 can be shown to the toilet user to obtain an advertising and promotional effect. Moreover, since the advertisement item 7 can be replaced, it is easy to use.

[0017] The present invention is not limited to the embodiments described above. The shapes and materials of the left member and the right member can be appropriately changed. The clamping portion can also be a clip-shaped member formed separately from the left member and the right member.
