AI Technical Summary
Conventional toilet paper holders face issues with the cut end sticking to the roll, difficulty in grasping thin toilet paper ends, and complex, costly manufacturing of underlay devices.
A U-shaped bar is integrated between the top cover and the toilet paper roll, allowing the cut end to float above and facilitating horizontal cutting, while reducing manufacturing complexity and cost.
The U-shaped bar ensures easy grasping and horizontal cutting of toilet paper, preventing roll rotation and reducing manufacturing costs.

Abstract
Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] The present invention relates to a toilet paper holder that makes it easy to grip and cut the tip of the cut end of toilet paper. [Background technology]
[0002] Conventional toilet paper holders simply have a cover that sits on top of the toilet paper roll. When using this cover to cut off the required amount of toilet paper from the roll, the cut end can sometimes stick to the roll itself, making it difficult to grab the next cut end. Some toilet paper holders have a base holder under the cover that keeps the cut end of the toilet paper always resting on top of the base holder, but the shape of the base holder is complex, making them both time-consuming and costly to manufacture.

[0003] [Patent Document 1] Jipkaihei 06-081395 [Patent Document 2] Jitsuzenhei 06-284988 [Patent Document 3] Jitsuzenhei 04-132528 [Patent Document 4] Jitsuzenhei 02-066192 [Patent Document 5] Jitsuzenhei 01-117291 [Patent Document 6] Jitsuzenhei 01-066193 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]
[0004] The following problems were encountered: (a) After cutting off the required amount of toilet paper, the cut end would sometimes stick to the roll itself, making it difficult to find the end and making it difficult to grab. (b) When the toilet paper is thin, such as a single-type roll, or does not have a dotted line for cutting, it is difficult to grasp the tip of the cut end and pull it out, and it is difficult to control the amount of force when pulling. Even if you press down on the cover on the top of the toilet paper holder, the roll itself will rotate, and the cut end of the toilet paper will not be cut horizontally, resulting in a messy cut, or only the part of the paper that is pinched will tear off, causing pieces of toilet paper to fall to the floor. (c) In toilet paper holders where the cut end of the toilet paper peels off from the roll body and always rests on the underlay device, the shape of the underlay device is complex, which makes it time-consuming and costly to manufacture. The present invention has been made to solve these problems. [Means for solving the problem]
[0005] Between the top cover of the toilet paper holder and the toilet paper roll itself, there is provided a U-shaped bar that moves on a hinge as shown in the figure. This is a toilet paper holder characterized by the above. [Effects of the Invention]
[0006] (i) By setting the U-shaped bar so that it is sandwiched between the toilet paper roll body and the tip of the cut end of the toilet paper, the cut end of the toilet paper peels off from the roll body and floats above the U-shaped bar, making it easier to smoothly grasp the cut end of the toilet paper. (b) Furthermore, even after cutting off the required amount of toilet paper, the cut end of the toilet paper always remains floating above the U-shaped bar. (c) When cutting the toilet paper, pinch the cut end of the toilet paper with one hand and pull out the required amount, then press down on the top cover of the toilet paper holder with the other hand. The U-shaped bar will press down on the toilet paper roll itself, stopping it from rotating. Furthermore, the U-shaped bar and the top cover will clamp the toilet paper, preventing it from continuing to be pulled out, making it easy to cut the toilet paper horizontally. (2) The U-shaped bar can be manufactured by bending rod or pipe material, so the manufacturing effort and cost can be reduced compared to an underlayment device. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[0008] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described. (a) As with conventional toilet paper holders, a top cover (1) for cutting toilet paper is attached to the upper side of a base material (6) that fixes the main body to the wall with a hinge (2) for attaching the top cover, and a toilet paper setting part (5) for setting the toilet paper roll body (7) is attached to the lower side of the base material (6). (b) A U-shaped bar (3) having the shape shown in the figure is joined to the base material (6) with a U-shaped bar mounting hinge (4) at a position between the top cover (1) joined to the base material (6) and the toilet paper set parts (5) near the top cover.

Claims
[Claim 1] This toilet paper holder is characterized in that a top cover (1) for cutting toilet paper is joined to the upper side of a base material (6) that fixes the main body of the toilet paper holder to the wall with a top cover attachment hinge (2), toilet paper setting parts (5) for setting the toilet paper roll body (7) are joined to the lower side of the base material (6), and a U-shaped bar (3) shaped as shown in the figure is joined to the base material (6) with a U-shaped bar attachment hinge (4) at a position closer to the top cover between the top cover (1) and the toilet paper setting parts (5) joined to the base material (6).
