Abstract

This invention provides a mounting part for a toilet paper holder that makes it easier to pinch and cut the tip of the toilet paper roll. [Solution] This U-shaped part for a toilet paper holder is composed of a U-shaped bar member (1), a pipe member A (2), and a pipe member B (3) as shown in the figure. The pipe member A (2) is sandwiched between the two pipe members B (3), passed through the short end of the U-shaped bar member (1), and the two pipe members B (3) are fixed to the U-shaped bar member (1). The pipe member A (2) is a hinge mechanism that allows it to move without being fixed to the U-shaped bar member (1), and one side of the pipe member A (2) is a flat adhesive surface.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to an attachment part for a toilet paper holder that makes the tip of the cut end of toilet paper easy to grip and easy to cut.

Background Art

[0002] Conventional toilet paper holders have only one cover on the roll of toilet paper. When using this cover to cut off the necessary amount of toilet paper from the roll, the cut end may stick to the roll body, and it is not always possible to smoothly grip the cut end next time. There is also a toilet paper holder that has a lining device under the cover and the cut end of the toilet paper is always placed on the lining device, but the shape of the lining device is complicated, so it takes time and cost to manufacture. In addition, in the case of a toilet paper holder with parts already attached, it is necessary to remove the existing toilet paper holder and replace it with a new one.

Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0004] There were the following problems. (i) After cutting off the required amount of toilet paper, the cut end sometimes sticks to the roll itself, making it difficult to find the end of the cut and thus making it difficult to grasp. (b) When toilet paper is thin, like single-ply paper, or does not have a perforated line for tearing, it can be difficult to grasp the tip of the end and pull it out, and even if you hold down the cover on top of the toilet paper holder, the roll itself may rotate, resulting in the end of the toilet paper not being cut horizontally, becoming messy, or only the part you are holding with your fingers tore off, causing pieces of toilet paper to fall on the floor. (h) In toilet paper holders where the cut end of the toilet paper peels off the roll and always rests on the underlay device, the complex shape of the underlay device makes it time-consuming and costly to manufacture. (ii) If a toilet paper holder has a pre-installed underlay device, the existing toilet paper must be removed and replaced with a new one, resulting in the existing paper going to waste. This invention was made to solve these problems. [Means for solving the problem]

[0005] A U-shaped part, which is movable by a hinge as shown in the diagram, is installed between the top cover of the toilet paper holder and the toilet paper roll itself. This toilet paper holder has the above features. [Effects of the Invention]

[0006] (i) By inserting a U-shaped part between the toilet paper roll and the end of the toilet paper, the end of the toilet paper peels away from the roll and floats above the U-shaped part, making it easier to smoothly grasp the end of the toilet paper. (b) Furthermore, even after the required amount of toilet paper has been cut off, the cut end of the toilet paper remains suspended above the U-shaped part. (h) When cutting toilet paper, if you hold the end of the toilet paper with one hand to pull out the desired amount, and then press down on the top cover of the toilet paper holder with the other hand, the U-shaped part will hold down the toilet paper roll itself, stopping its rotation. Furthermore, the U-shaped part and the top cover will clamp the toilet paper, fixing it in place so that it continues to be pulled out, making it easy to cut the end of the toilet paper horizontally. (ii) The U-shaped parts can be manufactured by bending rods or pipes, thus reducing the effort and cost of manufacturing compared to the underlay device. (e) Furthermore, this U-shaped part can be retrofitted to a standard toilet paper holder using double-sided tape or similar adhesive, eliminating the need to replace the existing toilet paper holder and allowing for continued use.

Embodiments for Carrying Out the Invention

[0008] Hereinafter, embodiments for carrying out the present invention will be described. (a) It is composed of a U-shaped bar member (1) having a shape as shown in the figure, a pipe member A (2), and a pipe member B (3). The pipe member A (2) is sandwiched between two pipe members B (3), passed through the end portion on the short side of the U-shaped bar member (1), and the two pipe members B (3) are fixed to the U-shaped bar member (1). The pipe member A (2) is a hinge mechanism that can move without being fixed to the U-shaped bar member (1), and one surface of the pipe member A (2) is a flat adhesive surface. (b) The adhesive surface (4) of the aforementioned U-shaped part is attached to the wall side or the back side between the cover of a general toilet paper holder (5) and the toilet paper (6).
