Abstract
Description
[Technical field]
[0001] This invention mainly relates to toilet paper and a toilet paper holder that are separated for use in defecation and urination. [Background technology]
[0002] Conventional roll toilet paper includes, for example, those with an innovative method of cutting the roll paper, as in Patent Document 1, those in which multiple rolls of paper are stored in a storage unit attached to a toilet paper holder, and when the paper in the holder runs out, a new roll of paper is sequentially supplied from the storage unit, as in Patent Document 2, and those in which two roll paper holders are installed side by side, and when one roll paper holder runs out, the paper from the other roll paper holder is reeled out and used, thereby preventing the inconvenience of running out of toilet paper.

[0003] [Patent Document 1] JP2013-78408A [Patent Document 2] Patent No. 4119819 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]
[0004] Generally, when using modern flush toilets, women use toilet paper not only for defecation but also for urination, and the number of toilets specifically for urination for men has decreased. However, when using Western-style sit-down toilets that can be used for both urination and urination, the number of people who urinate while sitting is increasing, especially among young people.
[0005] Men often have difficulty urinating after urinating while seated, and like women, they often use toilet paper to wipe up urine after urinating, in order to prevent their underwear from getting soiled.
[0006] However, the size and quality of toilet paper are basically determined on the assumption that it will be used after using the toilet. For example, according to the JIS standard, the roll width is 114 mm, the core inner diameter is 38 mm, the roll diameter is 120 mm or less, and the paper weight (g / m 2 ), burst strength (kPa), etc. are set. In other words, the problem is that toilet paper of excessive quality for use with feces is used even though the size and quality for use with feces is not necessary for wiping after urination.
[0007] In particular, the JIS roll width of 114 mm is nearly 2 cm wider than the European standard of 97 mm, and the JIS burst strength of 78 kPa (10 sheets) for feces use is excessive and uneconomical for use after urination. [Means for solving the problem]
[0008] The toilet paper of the present invention for solving the above problems is, first, provided with at least two types of roll paper 1, 2 for use in defecation and urination, and has features that allow one roll paper 1 to be distinguished from the other roll paper 2 in appearance or touch. The distinguishing feature is that one side of the roll paper has elasticity, texture, or thickness specialized for use in urination or defecation. It is characterized by the fact that
[0009] Secondly, This toilet paper has at least two types of roll paper 1, 2 for use with feces and urine, and one roll paper 1 has a distinctive feature that makes it possible to distinguish the other roll paper 2 from the other roll paper 2 by appearance or touch. The distinguishable feature is the roll width W of the standard size roll paper 1 for feces. 1 For the roll width W of urinal roll 2 2 The narrow It is characterized by the following.
[0010] Third, This toilet paper has at least two types of roll paper 1, 2, which are divided into those for defecation and those for urination, and has features that make it possible to distinguish one roll paper 1 from the other roll paper 2 in appearance or touch, As a distinguishing feature, the roll paper 2 for urination has a different color or pattern on its surface from the roll paper 1 for feces.
[0011] In addition, the toilet paper holder of this invention has a roll width W 1 A wide shaft member 9a having a wide shaft length for rotatably supporting the wide stool roll paper 1, and a roll width W 2 The roll paper 1 for stool is provided with a narrow shaft member 9b having a narrow shaft length for rotatably supporting the narrow roll paper 2 for urination. Effect of the Invention
[0012] The toilet paper of the present invention, constructed as described above, can be divided into two purposes for use when using the toilet: for defecation and for urination. Therefore, for defecation, a paper with sufficient quality such as size and burst strength is prepared according to the purpose. On the other hand, for use during urination, a paper with a quality appropriate to the purpose and sufficient for wiping can be provided. Therefore, not only can the paper be used according to the functions required for each purpose, but also waste caused by having excessive quality paper, especially for use during urination, can be avoided.
[0013] In addition, in toilets, by giving roll paper characteristics that can be clearly identified by appearance or touch, such as roll width, color, pattern, etc., it has the advantage that children, the elderly, visually impaired people, etc. can select the roll for both purposes without making a mistake.
[0014] Furthermore, by providing toilet paper holders of different sizes corresponding to the different sizes of roll paper for urination and defecation, there is an advantage that roll paper for both purposes can be held in a distinguishable manner. [Brief description of the drawings]
[0015] [Figure 1] FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the toilet paper of the present invention pivotally supported by the toilet paper holder. [Diagram 2] FIG. 2 is an overall perspective view showing the configuration of the toilet paper holder. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
[0016] The drawings show an embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 1 shows two types of toilet paper and a toilet paper holder that holds them, and FIG. 2 is an overall perspective view of the toilet paper holder.
[0017] In the example shown, the roll width W is 114 mm according to the JIS standard. 1 A toilet paper (roll paper) 1 for stool (for large use) and a roll width W narrower than this, for example 80 mm (or 70 to 90 mm) 2 The roll of paper 2 for urination (urination) is axially supported on a wall-mounted toilet paper holder (hereinafter abbreviated as "holder") 3 so as to be rotatable and dispenseable.
[0018] In this example, the rolls of paper 1 and 2 are clearly distinguishable to toilet users both visually and tactilely by their roll widths W 1 ,W 2 In addition to or apart from these features, the color of the paper itself, the pattern on the surface, the softness of the paper, other textures or scents of the roll paper 2 for urination can be made to clearly distinguish it from toilet paper for full use. When emphasis is placed on the difference in texture, it has the advantage of making it easier for visually impaired people to distinguish. Note that these distinguishing features are relative, so they may be provided on the roll paper 1 for feces in comparison with the roll paper 2 for urination.
[0019] In addition to the above, features for easily distinguishing between large and small containers may be characterized by absorbency, elasticity, texture, paper thickness, tensile strength, bursting strength, fragrance, etc., specific to either large or small containers, as long as the user can easily distinguish without making a mistake.
[0020] The holder 3 has a top plate 6 and a back plate 7 integrally formed with an inverted L-shaped cross section, and the vertical back plate 7 has slits 8 formed in the left and right directions along the wall surface for mounting with screws or the like.
[0021] A pair of left and right shaft members 9a, 9b for holding roll paper are protruded from approximately the center of the back plate 7, and are formed by bending the roll paper into an L-shape and an inverted L-shape when viewed in plan. The base of each L-shape of each shaft member 9a, 9b is inserted left and right into the cylindrical core material 4 of two types of roll paper 1, 2, large and small, which have different roll widths, as shown in Figure 1, and supports (holds) the roll paper 1, 2 so that it can be rotated and unwound.
[0022] At this time, a claw-shaped stopper 11 is bent backward at the tip of the L-shaped base of the shaft members 9a, 9b, and this stopper 11 abuts against the outer surface of the supported roll paper 1, 2, thereby preventing the roll paper 1, 2 from slipping out of the shaft members 9a, 9b during rotation and payout.
[0023] The stopper 11 is inserted into the core 4 of the roll paper 1, 2 together with the bottom sides of the shaft members 9a, 9b in the left and right directions. After insertion, the shaft members 9a, 9b are rotated to the roll width W 1 ,W 2 The shaft length corresponds to the length of the roll paper 1, 2, and supports each roll paper 1, 2 rotatably while restricting its left and right movement and preventing it from slipping out.
[0024] The reason why the shaft members 9a and 9b support a plurality of rolls of paper so as to be rotatable and unwindable as described above is that the inner width in the left-right direction of the L-shaped base of the shaft members 9a and 9b is the difference between the large and small roll widths W 1 ,W 2 and prevents the roll paper from being pulled out.
[0025] Therefore, the various components that make up the holder 3 are not limited to the examples shown above, and for example, the shaft members 9a, 9b may be selected from any known mechanism, such as a roll shaft-shaped member having a length corresponding to the roll width of the roll paper 1, 2, or a claw-shaped member that is removably inserted into both sides of the core material 4 of each roll paper 1, 2.
[0026] As shown in Fig. 1, different roll widths W 1 ,W 2The holder 3, which supports a pair of rolls of paper 1, 2, has cylindrical bearing portions 12a, 12b provided in the left and right directions at the inner corner portions and left and right ends of the top plate 6 and back plate 7, and the rear ends of cylindrical piece-shaped cover members 13a, 13b are supported so that their leading (front) ends are elastically pressed against the front upper peripheral surface of each of the rolls of paper 1, 2.
[0027] The left and right widths of the cover members 13a and 13b are the large and small roll widths W 1 ,W 2 The tip of the roll is constantly pressed against the peripheral surface of the paper rolls 1, 2 elastically or by its own weight, and functions as a cutting ruler for the paper unwound from the paper rolls 1, 2.
