toilet paper

Abstract

While there are two types of toilet paper, single and double, and it's generally fine to sit on the same toilet seat at home, stepping outside into public restrooms (in parks, train stations, stadiums, movie theaters, department stores, restaurants, etc.) means that toilets used by many other people aren't necessarily clean. The toilet seat might be wet, or someone with a skin condition might have sat on it. Also, because the toilet seat is white, it's easy to overlook if it's wet and sit down without realizing it. [Solution] This toilet paper consists of two sheets of vertical paper spaced apart in the longitudinal direction, connected by horizontal paper at regular intervals. This toilet paper has perforations for cutting, spaced at intervals that roughly cover the toilet seat, running across both the vertical and horizontal sheets.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to toilet paper installed in toilets.

Background Art

[0002] Conventional toilet paper is formed by rolling a single sheet of single-ply or double-ply paper continuous in the longitudinal direction into a roll. Toilet paper is mainly used for wiping the anus after defecation, wiping off urine, or for women to wipe the crotch during menstruation.

Summary of the Invention

Problem to be Solved by the Invention

[0004] There are two types of toilet paper, single-ply and double-ply, and when used in each household, there is no particular discomfort even when sitting on the same toilet seat. However, when one goes out to public toilets (in parks, stations, stadiums, movie theaters, department stores, restaurants, etc.), toilets used by a large number of other people are not necessarily clean. The toilet seat may be wet, and there is also a possibility that a person with a skin disease has sat on it. In addition, there is a problem that people may accidentally sit down without noticing that the white toilet seat is wet.

[0005] The present invention was made with the idea that preparing toilet paper that also serves as a toilet seat sheet for guests would be a thoughtful gesture for visitors, so this invention was accomplished.

Means for Solving the Problem

[0006] The toilet paper is formed by connecting two longitudinal papers continuous at intervals in the longitudinal direction with transverse papers at regular intervals. Perforations for cutting are provided across the longitudinal paper and the transverse paper at intervals substantially corresponding to covering a toilet seat. [Effects of the Invention]

[0007] Using a toilet seat cover allows you to use the toilet comfortably without worrying about soiling your bottom or developing skin problems. A double-layered toilet seat cover is fine, but a single-layered one is also acceptable as it can be bulky.

[0008] Using this toilet paper eliminates the need to install both a toilet paper roll and a toilet seat cover separately; both can be used with a single holder. [Brief explanation of the drawing]

[0009] [Figure 1] This is an overall view of the toilet seat. [Figure 2] This is an overall view of the toilet paper holder. [Figure 3] There is a diagram showing how to unfold a toilet paper roll. [Modes for carrying out the invention]

[0010] Traditional Japanese-style toilets have been replaced by Western-style toilets, which are now an extremely convenient and essential item as they allow for a more comfortable posture while using the toilet.

[0011] However, while there's nothing wrong with using a toilet only with family at home, public restrooms used by many people when out and about aren't always clean or well-mannered, and some establishments only have one unisex restroom, which can leave a feeling of discomfort.

[0012] Everyone has probably experienced this at least once while out and about: sitting on a wet white toilet seat without realizing it.

[0013] With the number of foreign tourists increasing year by year, and the possibility of them sitting on toilets with skin diseases, this invention provides a toilet paper that is universally necessary, convenient, and hygienic for use as a toilet seat cover. [Examples]

[0014] The form of the toilet paper according to the present invention can be understood by explaining Figure 3 in the context of implementation.

[0015] Although the quality and structure of toilet paper vary slightly depending on the type, this invention can be applied to any commercially available toilet paper. While the length, width, and position of the perforations for tearing off toilet paper may differ depending on the company, this invention describes a single-ply toilet paper with a width of 11 cm and perforations at 43 cm in length.

[0016] To describe its structure in detail, it is a toilet paper roll consisting of two vertical sheets of paper 4 spaced apart in the longitudinal direction, connected by horizontal sheets of paper (folds) at regular intervals. This toilet paper roll has perforations for cutting, spaced at intervals that roughly cover the toilet seat, spanning across the vertical sheets 4 and the horizontal sheets (folds). There is space between the horizontal sheets (folds).

[0017] Furthermore, the horizontal section of the toilet paper is provided with a middle fold, allowing the entire toilet paper to be folded in half from the middle fold and wound into a roll.

[0018] As an example, as shown in Figure 1, the toilet paper is cut along the 43cm perforations running horizontally, the pieces are laid side by side, and the folded portion (the folded edge) is placed between them with a vertical width of 11cm and a horizontal width of 22cm and then placed on the toilet seat for use.

[0019] By folding the middle section of the horizontal toilet paper in half and overlapping it with the vertical sections on both sides, an 11cm wide roll of toilet paper is created, which is then rolled up and sold. When the middle section is folded, it becomes the shape of a regular roll of toilet paper, and when unfolded, it becomes a toilet seat cover.

[0020] The manufacturing method for the toilet paper of the present invention involves arranging two vertical sheets of paper with a gap between them, and supplying horizontal sheets of paper (folds) at regular intervals between the vertical sheets 4, 4 to integrate them. Integration can be achieved by bonding, welding, embossing the paper itself, etc.

[0021] Further, a space may be formed in an originally 44 cm toilet paper by cutting, such that a lateral paper roll core remains. The cut portion is dissolved for reuse. It goes without saying that there are various other manufacturing methods for forming the shape of the toilet paper of the present invention.

[0022] Figure 2 shows the toilet paper of the present application attached to a paper holder. In this state, it is no different from conventional ordinary toilet paper, so there is no need to prepare a special paper holder. Description of Reference Signs
