Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a paper holder that rotatably holds roll paper, a holder support member that supports the paper holder on a wall side, and a parts set. [Background technology]

[0002] A paper holder that holds a rotatable paper roll is attached to the partition wall of a toilet room. When the paper roll is pulled out of the holder, a rattle is generated due to contact between the hollow core of the paper roll and the holder's holding member. Furthermore, if the hollow core of the paper roll is not a perfect circle but is distorted, the rotation of the paper roll when pulling it out of the holder can cause the paper roll to bounce up and down, causing the paper holder's paper retaining cover to move wildly and generate a loud noise. Furthermore, the vibration noise transmitted to the paper holder can propagate to the adjacent room through the partition wall's base ribs, causing discomfort to people in the adjacent room.

[0003] Patent Document 1 discloses a technique for reducing noise when the paper holder is pulled out by attaching a cushioning material to the outer periphery of the screw that fastens the bladed cover of the paper holder to the shaft base. Patent Document 2 also discloses a toilet paper holder that includes a fixed holding member that extends inward from the tip of the side plate, a rotor that is rotatably attached to the fixed holding member and has a maximum diameter smaller than the inner diameter of the toilet paper core tube, and an elastic member that is attached to the rotor and constantly presses against the inner circumferential surface of the core tube with its elastic force.

[0005] However, while the technologies described in both patent documents can reduce the vibration noise generated by the paper holder, they cannot prevent the generated vibration noise from being transmitted via solid-state transmission to the adjacent room through the base rails of the partition wall.

[0006] An object of the present invention is to provide a paper holder and a holder support member that can prevent vibration noise generated on the paper holder side from propagating through a wall to an adjacent room. [Means for solving the problem]

[0007] The paper holder of this invention is a paper holder that rotatably holds roll paper, and is characterized by comprising a base portion fixed to a wall, a first locking portion provided on the base portion, a main body plate portion arranged opposite the base portion, a second locking portion provided on the main body plate portion and locked to the first locking portion, and a cushioning material interposed between the first locking portion and the second locking portion.

[0008] With the above configuration, the vibration noise generated in the paper holder is attenuated by passing through the cushioning material from the second locking portion provided on the main body plate portion to the first locking portion, thereby reducing discomfort to people in the adjacent room.

[0009] In the paper holder, one of the first and second locking portions may have a convex portion, and the other may have a concave portion into which the convex portion is inserted, and the buffer material may be present between the convex portion and the concave portion. This facilitates assembly because the convex portion and the concave portion are locked together, and also makes it easy to incorporate the buffer material because it is sufficient to attach the buffer material to the convex portion or the concave portion before assembly.

[0010] In the paper holder, the recessed portion may be positioned with the opening into which the protruding portion is inserted facing upward. Alternatively, the recessed portion may be positioned with the opening into which the protruding portion is inserted facing sideways.

[0011] The holder support member of this invention is a holder support member that supports a paper holder that rotatably holds roll paper on the wall side, and is characterized by comprising a base portion fixed to the wall side, a first locking portion provided on the base portion, a second locking portion that can be locked to the first locking portion and is fixed to a main body plate portion of the paper holder that is arranged opposite the base portion, and a cushioning material interposed between the first locking portion and the second locking portion.

[0012] With the above configuration, it is possible to use an existing paper holder as the paper holder, and the vibration noise generated in the paper holder is attenuated by passing through the cushioning material from the second locking part fixed to the main plate part of the paper holder to the first locking part, thereby reducing discomfort to people in the next room.

[0013] In the holder support member, one of the first locking portion and the second locking portion may have a convex portion, and the other may have a concave portion into which the convex portion is inserted, and the buffer material may be present between the convex portion and the concave portion. In this way, the convex portion and the concave portion are locked together, facilitating locking assembly, and since the buffer material can be attached to the convex portion or the concave portion before this locking assembly, incorporating the buffer material is also easy.

[0014] In the holder support member, the recessed portion may be positioned with an opening into which the protruding portion is inserted facing upward. Alternatively, the recessed portion may be positioned with an opening into which the protruding portion is inserted facing sideways.

[0015] The parts set of the holder support member is characterized in that the base portion, the first locking portion, the second locking portion, and the cushioning material are all unassembled or partially assembled. [Effects of the Invention]

[0016] With the present invention, the vibration noise generated in the paper holder is attenuated by passing through the cushioning material from the second locking portion fixed to the main plate portion of the paper holder and then transmitted to the first locking portion, thereby reducing the discomfort of people in the adjacent room.

[Figure 5] 10 is a side view illustrating the holder support portion and the paper holder according to the embodiment. FIG. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0018] The following describes an embodiment of the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings. Figure 1 shows a state in which an existing paper holder 1 that rotatably holds a roll of toilet paper P is fixed to a wall surface in a toilet room 80 in which a toilet bowl 8 is installed via a holder support member 2 of the present embodiment.

[0019] As shown in Figure 2, the paper holder 1 comprises a holding member 11 that rotatably holds the roll paper P, a paper retaining cover 12 that holds the roll paper P from above, two side plates 13 that support the holding member 11, and a main plate 14 that supports each of the side plates 13 and the paper retaining cover 12. The main plate 14 is normally used to secure the paper holder 1 to the wall surface with screws, but it is positioned opposite the base 20 of the holder support member 2. The holding member 11 is separated into left and right halves and attached to the side plates 13 so that it can swing, but this is not limited to this, and the holding member 11 can also be a single-shaft type (with or without side plates).

[0020] The holder support member 2 comprises a base portion 20 fixed to the wall surface with screws, a first locking portion 21 fixed to the interior side of the base portion 20, a second locking portion 22 that is later attached to the back side of the main body plate portion 14 of the paper holder 1 with screws or the like and to which the first locking portion 21 is locked, and a cushioning material 23 interposed between the first locking portion 21 and the second locking portion 22.

[0021] The first locking portion 21 is, for example, a steel plate bent to form a recessed portion with a roughly U-shaped cross section, with the opening facing upward. The vertical piece on the wall side of the U-shape with the opening facing upward is, for example, adhesively fixed to the indoor side of the base portion 20, and the vertical piece on the indoor side is positioned away from the vertical piece on the wall side. The width of the first locking portion 21 is, for example, equal to or less than the width of the base portion 20. Both ends of the first locking portion 21 may be open or closed.

[0022] The second locking portion 22 has, for example, a hook-shaped cross section, with the short side of this hook shape fixed to the main body plate portion 14 and the long side forming a convex portion that protrudes downward. This convex portion is inserted downward through the opening of the first locking portion 21. Note that the short side of the second locking portion 22 forms a space between the long side and the back surface of the main body plate portion 14. The vertical piece on the interior side of the U-shape of the first locking portion 21 is positioned in this space, separated from the back surface of the main body plate portion 14. The width of the second locking portion 22 is, for example, equal to or less than the width of the first locking portion 21.

[0023] The cushioning material 23 may be, for example, a sheet of a viscoelastic material (gel, soft rubber, urethane foam, etc.) commercially available for vibration isolation, and this sheet is lined on the inner surface of the first locking portion 21 or attached to the second locking portion 22. In this example, the cushioning material 23 is lined on the inner surface of the first locking portion 21 and has a generally U-shaped cross section, with the opening of this U-shape facing upward.

[0024] The holder support member 2 may be provided, for example, in a state where the base portion 20, the first locking portion 21, the second locking portion 22, and the cushioning material 23 are already assembled, and the purchaser screws the second locking portion 22 to the main body plate portion 14 of the paper holder 1. Alternatively, the base portion 20, the first locking portion 21, and the cushioning material 23 may be provided assembled, and the base portion 20 may be fixed to the wall surface in this state with screws, and the purchaser may screw the second locking portion 22 to the main body plate portion 14 of the paper holder 1 to lock the second locking portion 22 to the first locking portion 21. Alternatively, the base portion 20, the first locking portion 21, the second locking portion 22, and the cushioning material 23 may all be provided as unassembled parts, and the purchaser may assemble the holder support member 2 after purchase.

[0025] The holder support member 2 described above can be used with paper holders 1 already in use at home, etc. Vibration noise generated in this paper holder 1 is attenuated by passing from the second locking part 22 fixed to the main body plate part 14 of the paper holder 1 through the buffer material 23 before being transmitted to the first locking part 21, thereby reducing discomfort to people in the next room.

[0026] Furthermore, with the above-mentioned holder support member 2, the engagement is achieved by the concave portion of the first engagement portion 21 and the convex portion of the second engagement portion 22, making assembly easy, and since it is sufficient to attach the cushioning material 23 to the first engagement portion 21 or the second engagement portion 22 before assembly, incorporating the cushioning material 23 is also easy.

[0027] As shown in Figure 3, in addition to the above-mentioned cross-sectionally approximately C-shaped portion, the cushioning material 23 may have a cushioning portion located between the upper end of the vertical piece portion on the indoor side of the first engaging portion 21 and the lower surface of the short portion side of the second engaging portion 22, and may further have a cushioning portion located between the indoor side of the vertical piece portion on the indoor side and the back surface of the main body plate portion 14.

[0028] As shown in FIG. 4, in the holder support member 2, the base portion 20A may be an L-shaped member having a vertical surface portion 201 that is fixed to the wall with screws and a stand portion 202 that extends from the upper side of the vertical surface portion 201 toward the room. The first locking portion 21 is fixed to the underside of the stand portion 202, with the opening side of the U-shape facing horizontally. In this example, the horizontal piece of the first locking portion 21 on the stand portion 202 side of the U-shape is adhesively fixed to the underside of the stand portion 202, for example, and the horizontal piece on the main body plate portion 14 side forms a gap with the main body plate portion 14. The main body plate portion 14 of the set paper holder 1 will move away from the first locking portion 21 due to gravity.

[0029] The first locking portion 21 may have a concave shape that slopes downward toward the wall, and the second locking portion 22 may also have a convex shape that slopes downward toward the wall to match the first locking portion 21. This prevents the holder support member 2 from gradually shifting toward the interior of the room as the roll paper P is repeatedly used.

[0030] When the holder support member 2 is not used, the paper holder 1 shown in Figure 5 can be fixed to the wall using the mounting holes 14a and screws 14b formed in the main body plate 14 for fixing the main body plate 14 to the wall. On the other hand, when the holder support member 2 is used, the paper holder 1 can be fixed to the main body plate 14 by using the mounting holes 14a and screws 14b.

[0031] In the above-described embodiment, a holder support member 2 is provided separately from the paper holder 1, but this is not limited to this, and the paper holder 1 may be provided with a holder support part corresponding to the holder support member 2 already assembled.

[0032] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described above with reference to the drawings, the present invention is not limited to the illustrated embodiments. Various modifications and variations can be made to the illustrated embodiments within the same scope as the present invention or within an equivalent scope. [Explanation of symbols]
