Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] This invention relates to a toilet paper holder, and more specifically to a toilet paper holder with a viewing window at the tip of the top cover that allows the state of the paper tip to be checked through this viewing window. [Background technology]

[0002] To live a healthy life, it is important to eat a proper diet and have regular bowel movements. Toilets for excretion are generally equipped with a roll of toilet paper, which is pulled out by pinching the end of the roll with the fingers when using the toilet. At this time, the end of the paper cannot be picked up because it is hidden by the top cover and cannot be seen. Therefore, it becomes difficult to pull out the toilet paper smoothly and quickly. For this reason, there is a need for a toilet paper holder that allows users to easily and quickly pull out the paper and is comfortable to use.

[0003] The present invention provides a viewing window at the tip of the upper cover, allowing the user to see the state of the tip of the paper, making it quick and easy to pull out the toilet paper. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0004] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Utility Model Application Publication No. 7-14995 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0005] On the other hand, the above-mentioned publication proposes an idea for rotating a paper roll with multiple layers of toilet paper using fingers. This publication describes a toilet paper holder in which a through hole 9 is provided at the tip of the cover lid 6 so that the tip of the paper can be pulled out. When in use, the tip of a finger is inserted through the through hole, and while the tip of the finger is placed against the outer surface of the paper roll, the roll is rotated in the direction of removal, allowing the end of the pulled-out paper to be pinched with the fingers.

[0006] However, with the device described in the above publication, the user must rotate the paper roll with their fingers when relieving themselves, which is both cumbersome and difficult to do quickly. In addition, since the end of the paper is hidden by the top cover, it is not possible to check the condition of the end, and it is difficult to grasp the end, making it difficult to pull out the paper quickly. Therefore, if the state of the paper edge can be confirmed, the paper can be pulled out quickly and easily.

[0007] In light of the above, the purpose of this invention is to provide a toilet paper holder that allows the state of the cut end of the paper to be checked through a viewing window, making it easier to grasp the end of the paper and allowing the toilet paper to be pulled out quickly and easily. [Means for solving the problem]

[0008] The object of this invention is achieved by a toilet paper holder consisting of a base attached to the wall of a house, a pair of left and right support pieces attached to the left and right ends of the base, a toilet paper roll rotatably supported between the support pieces, and an upper cover covering the toilet paper roll from above and supported at its upper end rotatably, with a wide rectangular viewing window provided at the lower end of the upper cover so that the end of the toilet paper can be seen through this viewing window. [Effects of the Invention]

[0009] By implementing the above means, the device allows the user to check the condition of the cut end of the toilet paper through a viewing window in the toilet paper holder and grasp the end of the toilet paper with their fingers, thereby making it possible to easily and quickly pull out the toilet paper when in use. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[Figure 3] View from the right of Figure 2. [Figure 4] FIG. 10 is an explanatory diagram showing the state in which the paper is pulled out. [Figure 5] FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a toilet paper holder with an attachment attached. [Figure 6] A vertical cross section of the same house attached to the wall. [Figure 7] Right external view of the attachment. [Figure 8] FIG. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0011] The construction of one embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. 1 to 4, 1 is attached to the wall 3 of a house by screws 2 at the base of the toilet paper holder. Supports 5 are provided on the left and right ends of the base 1 to protrude and rotatably support a paper roll 4 on which toilet paper is wound in multiple layers.

[0012] An upper cover 6 is placed above the paper roll 4, and the upper end of this upper cover 6 is supported by left and right protrusions 7 on a shaft 8 so that it can tilt freely. A torsion spring (not shown) is wound around the shaft 8, which gently presses the upper cover 6 against the surface of the paper roll. This allows the paper roll 4 to be rotated with a slight finger pressure and prevents reverse rotation.

[0013] Reference numeral 10 denotes a bent portion formed by bending the tip of the upper cover 6 in a valley fold as shown by the dotted line. The folding section 10 functions to separate the edge of the paper after it has been cut by the saw-blade cutter 11 from the surface of the paper roll 4 and the back surface of the folding section 10 as shown in Figure 4, making it easier to pick up with the fingers. The portion supporting the cutter 11 is made as long and narrow as possible so that the portion of the paper edge that is hidden is minimized. Reference numeral 12 denotes a sight window formed in a wide rectangle in the folding portion 10, through which the state of the paper end can be checked. When the paper is pulled out and cut, it is cut or curled up, so if the edge of the paper is visible, it becomes easier to pick up and therefore easier to pull out the paper.

[0014] A plurality of 13 (three in the figure) are provided on the rear surface of the upper cover 6 near the viewing window 12 so as not to interfere with the rotation of the paper roll 4. Each 13 is approximately 3 mm wide and 10 mm long, and acts to peel and separate the end of the paper from the wound paper roll 4.

[0015] In the above configuration, when relieving oneself, first, one grasps the end of the toilet paper and pulls out the paper. At this point, it can be difficult to find the edge of the paper or to grab it, which can make pulling it out a struggle. This is because the end of the roll of toilet paper is tightly attached to the body of the roll, and as we all know, it can be difficult to peel it off with your fingers.

[0016] In contrast, according to the present invention, a viewing window 12 is provided at the tip of the upper cover 6, so that the state of the paper end can be seen through the viewing window 12, the paper end can be grasped securely, and the paper can be pulled out easily and quickly. Furthermore, since the viewing window 12 is provided in the folding section 10, the end of the cut paper is forcibly peeled off from the surface of the paper roll 4 as shown by the arrow 61, and at the same time, it is separated from the folding section 10 as shown by the dotted line 62 and becomes free, making it easier to pick up. As described above, according to this invention, the condition of the end of the cut paper can be checked through the viewing window, allowing the end of the paper to be grasped with the fingers, thereby making it possible to pull out the toilet paper easily and quickly.

[0017] Next, another embodiment will be described. 5 to 8 show the attachment with the above-mentioned viewing window attached to a commercially available toilet paper holder. FIG. 5 is a perspective view of the attachment of the present invention attached to a commercially available holder, and FIG. 6 is a longitudinal cross-sectional view thereof. These figures are the same as the embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 to 4 except that an attachment is attached to the tip of the upper cover, so a description thereof will be omitted. 5 and 6, reference numeral 21 denotes an attachment attached to the tip of the upper cover 6 by a screw 22, and is made of plastic.

[0018] Next, the attachment 21 will be described with reference to FIGS. The attachment 21 is clamped to the tip of the upper cover 6 and is securely attached to the upper cover 21 by the screw 22 as described above. To adjust the position of the attachment 21, simply flatten the tip of the screw 22 and press it against the surface of the upper cover at the desired position.

[0019] The attachment 21 attached to the upper cover 6 is shown in FIG. More specifically, in FIG. 7, the attachment 21 is made of a central plate 23, and a left plate 24 and a right plate 25 are integrally formed on both sides of the central plate 23 from plastic. These three plates form an apparent groove 26 as shown in FIG. The middle plate 23 and the left and right plates 24 and 25 formed on either side of it are formed slightly apart and face each other with a diagonal gap the same as the thickness of the top cover 6, forming the apparent groove 26 as described above. The groove 26 receives the tip of the top cover 6 so as to sandwich it, as shown in Figure 8.

[0020] Reference numeral 27 denotes a bent portion which is bent in a valley shape along the dotted line as in the first embodiment, and this bent portion is provided with an observation window 28 similar to that described above. Reference numeral 29 denotes a saw-shaped cutter provided at the tip of the folded portion 27 , and reference numeral 30 denotes a protrusion that peels off and separates the end of the paper from the paper roll 4 .

[0021] As described above, in the other embodiment configurations, the viewing window 28 is provided in the folding section 27, so that the condition of the paper end can be seen through this viewing window, which makes it easier to grasp the paper end and allows the paper to be pulled out quickly. Also, the end of the cut paper is forcibly peeled off from the surface of the paper roll 4 as shown by the arrow in FIG. 4, and becomes free as shown by the dotted line, making it easier to pick up.

[0022] As described above, according to this invention, the condition of the cut end of the paper can be checked through the viewing window and can be easily grasped, thereby making it possible to pull out the toilet paper easily and quickly.

[0023] As described above, according to this invention, the condition of the cut end of the toilet paper can be checked through the viewing window in the toilet paper holder, so the end of the toilet paper can be easily grasped with the fingers, and the toilet paper can be easily and quickly pulled out when in use. Also, if an attachment is attached to the tip of the upper cover, it can be used with commercially available toilet paper holders. [Explanation of symbols]
