[Figure 4] 10A and 10B are explanatory diagrams illustrating a paper cover according to another embodiment. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0016] Preferred embodiments of the toilet paper holder and its paper cover according to the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The technical scope of the present invention is not limited to the embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings, and appropriate modifications are possible within the scope of the claims. In the following description of the embodiments and the accompanying drawings, similar components are designated by the same reference numerals, and duplicate explanations will be omitted.

[0017] 1 and 2 are explanatory diagrams illustrating a toilet paper holder H and its paper cover 10 according to an embodiment.

[0018] The toilet paper holder H according to the embodiment comprises a paper cover 10, a support shaft H1 that supports the paper cover 10, an axial rod H2 that holds the toilet paper roll R, and a side plate H3 that supports the axial rod H2.

[0019] The paper cover 10 has a curved portion 11 that curves toward the outside of the roll paper R, a catch portion 12 that catches the toilet paper, and a cover portion 13 that covers the top side of the roll paper R.

[0020] The curved portion 11 is provided at the tip of the cover portion 13, and is curved so as to warp in a direction away from the center of the roll paper R (i.e., in the centrifugal direction). In other words, the curved portion 11 is curved so as to warp toward the outside of the roll paper R.

[0021] The catcher 12 may have any structure that can catch toilet paper. For example, it may have a barbed structure or a convex structure such as a protrusion for hooking toilet paper as shown in Fig. 2, or a non-slip surface with a high coefficient of friction. Any other structure that can catch toilet paper may be used.

[0022] The capture units 12 are provided in the curved portion 11, preferably on the distal end side of the curved portion 11. The capture units 12 can be arranged in any desired range. For example, as shown in FIG. 1, the capture units 12 may be arranged over the entire distal end side of the curved portion 11, or may be arranged locally, such as only near the center. As shown in FIG. 2, the capture units 12 may be arranged in multiple rows or in a single row.

[0023] Next, the operation of the present invention will be explained in detail using Figure 2. First, when a user wants to dispense toilet paper, they grab the paper strip P and pull it diagonally downward from the toilet paper holder H (the path shown by the dashed line in Figure 2). At this time, because the catch part 12 is located on the tip side of the curved part 11 that curves outward from the paper roll R, the toilet paper does not come into contact with the catch part 12 as it is dispensed.

[0024] When the user pulls out and cuts the required amount of toilet paper, they pull the toilet paper diagonally upward from the toilet paper holder H (the path shown by the two-dot chain line in Figure 2). At this time, the toilet paper bends along the curved portion 11 and comes into contact with the catch portion 12. The toilet paper is caught by the catch portion 12 and cut at the position of the catch portion 12. Note that because the localized force applied to the toilet paper at the curved portion 11 is suppressed, there is a higher chance that the toilet paper will be cut at the position of the catch portion 12 where it is caught.

[0025] When cutting, the toilet paper is biased in a direction away from the paper roll R while being cut, which prevents the tip of the toilet paper from sticking to the paper roll after cutting. Also, by providing the catch part 12 on the tip side of the curved part 11, only a piece of paper P remains along the distance of the curved part 11. Therefore, when using the toilet paper again, the remaining piece of paper P can be easily grasped and the toilet paper can be easily pulled out.

[0026] According to the present invention, a curved portion 11 is provided that curves toward the outside of the roll paper R. In this way, simply by providing the holder cover 10 with a curved portion 11 that bends toward the centrifugal direction of the roll paper R, the toilet paper can be easily cut while being biased in a direction away from the roll paper R. This prevents the leading end of the toilet paper from sticking to the roll paper after cutting.

[0027] According to the present invention, it is only necessary to provide the curved portion 11 on the tip side of the holder cover 10, and the holder cover can be easily manufactured without using multiple members.

[0028] According to the present invention, by providing the catch portion 12 at the tip side of the curved portion 11, the paper piece P remains when cut, and the toilet paper can be easily pulled out the next time it is used.

[0029] The present invention can be provided as a toilet paper holder H equipped with a paper cover 10. It is also possible to provide only the paper cover 10 according to the present invention and replace an existing paper cover.

[0030] 1 and 2 show an example of a cover portion 13 that is curved overall to follow the contour of the roll paper R, but it is possible to employ a cover portion 13 of various shapes. For example, even with a flat cover portion 13, the effects of the present invention can be fully achieved by forming a curved portion 11 at the tip of the cover portion 13.

[0031] Furthermore, the support shaft H1, shaft rod H2, and side plate H3 shown in this embodiment are shown as elements that are included in a general toilet paper holder, and any structure and design can be adopted.

[0032] FIG. 3 is an explanatory diagram illustrating a toilet paper holder and a toilet paper cover according to another embodiment.

[0033] The paper cover 20 in another embodiment has a curved portion 11 that curves toward the outside of the roll paper R, a capturing portion 12 that captures the toilet paper, and a cover portion 13 that covers the upper side of the roll paper R, and the curved portion 11 is provided on the convex portion 21.

[0034] The protrusion 21 is configured such that a portion of the tip of the paper cover 20 protrudes. In other words, a portion of the tip of the cover portion 13 protrudes in the direction of the tip of the cover portion 13. While FIG. 3 illustrates a semicircular protrusion 21, any shape may be adopted, such as a polygon or a shape resembling an animal or character. Also, while FIG. 3 illustrates an example in which the protrusion 21 is disposed in the center of the tip of the cover portion 13, any number of protrusions may be disposed in any position, such as to the right or left, or both to the right and left.

[0035] The catching portion 12 can be provided along the outer shape of the convex portion 21. By arranging the catching portion 12 along the outer shape of the convex portion 21 in this way, it is possible to leave behind paper pieces P that reflect the shape of the convex portion 21. That is, when a semicircular convex portion 21 is used as shown in Figure 3, it is possible to leave behind semicircular paper pieces P when the toilet paper is cut.

[0036] According to the paper cover 20 of the embodiment, by providing the curved portion 11 on the convex portion 21, it is only necessary to process the convex portion 21 portion, and the processing range can be reduced.

[0037] FIG. 4 is an explanatory diagram illustrating a paper cover 30 according to another embodiment.

[0038] The paper cover 30 in another embodiment has a curved portion 11 that curves toward the outside of the roll paper R, a capturing portion 12 that captures the toilet paper, and a fixing portion 31 for attaching to an existing paper cover H4.

[0039] The fixing portion 31 may be any means capable of fixing to an existing paper cover H4, and may be any existing fixing means such as double-sided tape, hook-and-loop fastener, or screw fastening.

[0040] According to the paper cover 30 of the embodiment, it is configured to be fixed to an existing paper cover H4 using the fixing portion 31, so that the effects of the present invention can be achieved simply by attaching the paper cover 30, and the toilet paper holder of the present invention can be manufactured more easily.
