Abstract

To solve the problem with conventional toilet paper holders in which, after the previous user has used the toilet paper, the leading edge of a paper roll tends to be hidden beneath a cutting edge of a paper-cutting upper cover and there is no opening for pulling out the paper, and thus the next user must lift the paper-cutting upper cover once, then pinch and pull out the leading edge of the paper roll, and return the upper cover to its original position before cutting the paper, which is an inconvenient operation.SOLUTION: A slit opening about 55 mm long is provided on the widthwise center line of the paper-cutting upper cover of the toilet paper holder. By using this upper cover front slit opening, the user can rotate the paper roll forward with a finger to secure a grasping allowance B for pulling out the toilet paper. The rolled paper can then be pinched and drawn out through the opening for pulling out the paper, and by visually confirming the perforation alignment through the slit opening of the paper-cutting upper cover with the front cutting edge of the paper-cutting upper cover, the paper can be cut along the aligned cutting edge of the paper-cutting upper cover. This configuration eliminates the inconvenience in using the prior art.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1
