Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0007] However, the papers in a stack are sticky to each other. When attempting to take out one sheet, it involves delicate and careful actions, and both hands are used to obtain it, thus taking time and effort. Moreover, if there is a large amount, it becomes laborious.

[0008] And when taking out one sheet by attaching saliva to the fingertips, it is unclean, looks bad, and if this action is repeated several times, it is also considered unhygienic as there is a possibility of invasion of miscellaneous bacteria into the body.

[0009] Furthermore, when a user applies liquid to a fingertip and removes a piece of paper, the nature of the paper causes minute irregularities at the point where the liquid is applied, and the paper is discolored and damaged in fine details.

[0010] There are also copying machines, printing machines, copy / fax combination machines, and computer printers that eject a single sheet of paper, but all of these are devices that print and eject a single sheet of paper, and are large and require storage space, making them inconvenient for small-scale use.

[0011] Furthermore, elderly people and young children who are unable to use their hands dexterously, and people who are disabled due to injury, may have difficulty picking up and obtaining a single sheet of paper.

[0012] Furthermore, the automatic paper feed box device described in Patent Document 1 had drawbacks. When discharging paper from the inclined outlet (17) provided in the box (10), if multiple sheets of paper are separated and discharged from a bundle, it is impossible to discharge a single sheet unless the outlet is large enough for the thickness of a single sheet of paper. Since the thickness of business cards and other paper varies widely, the structure is not adjusted for this, and if the inclined outlet (17) is provided wide, multiple sheets of paper will be discharged. Furthermore, when discharging, the paper will protrude from the top, bottom, or side of the box, making it impossible to discharge.

[0013] In view of the above circumstances, an object of the present invention is to provide a more practically constructed device for taking out a single sheet of paper. [Means for solving the problem]

[0014] The present invention is used by the following means to solve the above problems in an apparatus for taking out a single sheet of paper. That is, as described in claim 1, the paper bundled on the paper tray is placed, the both side portions of the paper are fixed by side plates movable left and right, and further, the upper and lower portions of the paper are fixed by a paper stopper movable back and forth provided on the paper tray. Further, the upper surface is pressed by an up-and-down stopper provided on the paper stopper to suppress displacement.

[0015] Also, as described in claim 2, since the small gear that meshes is interlocked with the operation of the handle gear that rotates integrally with the handle, and the rubber roller attached to the small gear can perform rotational drive, as described in claim 3, a passage having an inclination angle is provided on the side plate, and the small gear can perform inclined movement and rotation along the passage. And since it is formed by meshing with the handle gear, the rubber roller and the provided paper are always in close contact with each other.

[0016] Then, as described in claim 4, with the rotational drive of the rubber roller, the paper in close contact with the rubber roller exerts frictional force on each other, and a part of the paper on the upper surface floats up, making it possible to obtain a single sheet of paper.

Effect of the Invention

[0017] According to the apparatus for taking out a single sheet of paper related to the present invention, as described in claim 2, since the small gear that meshes is interlocked with the operation of the handle gear that rotates integrally with the handle, and the rubber roller attached to the small gear can perform rotational drive, it can be operated with one hand, so both hands are unnecessary and it can be quickly performed with an easy and simple operation.

[0018] Also, as in claim 4, as the rubber roller rotates and drives, the rubber roller and the paper provided in close contact with each other exert frictional force on each other, a part of the paper on the upper surface floats up, and one sheet of paper can be taken out and made available. Therefore, even for an adhesive paper, there is no need to attach saliva or liquid to the hand, it is hygienic, and it is possible to suppress fine unevenness and damage to the details on the paper. And because it is a simple operation, it can reduce time, labor, and hardship.

[0019] And, as in claim 4, when installing on a wall surface (vertical), since it can be installed by screwing using screws into the screw insertion part on the bottom surface, it can be installed in a variety of places.

[0020] Also, even for the elderly, infants, and those with handicapped hands who cannot use their hands skillfully, since it can be operated with one hand, it can be easily operated. Also, since it is the same size as a sheet of paper, it can be easily carried around.

[0021] In this way, whether it is placed horizontally (see Fig. 1) or mounted on a wall (vertical) (see Fig. 4), since the paper is discharged in front of the user, it is a device that enables one sheet of paper to be easily taken out.

[Figure 5] It is a diagram for explaining a state in which a sheet of paper is installed in Fig. 4 and one sheet of paper protrudes.

Embodiments for Carrying Out the Invention

[0023] Hereinafter, embodiments for carrying out the present invention will be described. This device is configured by placing bundled sheets of paper on a paper tray, setting it up, and operating the device.

[0024] First, the description will be made with reference to the drawings. Fig. 1 is a perspective view of the device for taking out one sheet of paper. Fig. 2 is a side view of the same.

[0025] First, the left side panel (5) and the right side panel (which can slide left and right) (6) that can fix both sides of the paper placed on the paper tray (1) are slid and fixed in place so that the horizontal width of the paper can be adjusted. Then, the upper part of the paper stopper (7), which can fix the upper part of the paper, and the lower part of the paper stopper (which can slide back and forth) (8), which can fix the lower part, are slid and fixed in place so that the vertical width of the paper can be adjusted. Furthermore, the vertical movement stoppers (9) provided on the paper stoppers (7) and (8) can move up and down even when the amount of paper is increased or decreased, so they are always provided on top of the paper, and the weight of the vertical movement stoppers (9) can also hold the paper down. In this way, the four sides and the top of the paper are firmly fixed, so the paper does not shift.

[0026] In addition, even if the paper being placed is enlarged or reduced, the size of the paper can be adjusted by adjusting the width of the side panel (which can be slid left and right) (6) and the length of the paper stopper (which can be slid back and forth) (8).

[0027] The surface of the handle that comes into contact with the hand is covered with rubber, preventing the hand from slipping while allowing rotation. This causes the handle gear (2), which rotates together with the handle, to rotate counterclockwise, and as a result, the small gear (3) that meshes with the handle gear (2) rotates clockwise in conjunction with the handle gear (2), causing the rubber roller (4) to rotate clockwise. The paper (13) and the rubber roller (4) can move stably relative to each other.

[0028] A passageway (10) having an inclination angle is provided on the side plates (5) and (6). The small gear (3) and the rubber roller (4) mounted thereon can freely perform inclined movement and rotation, and are formed by meshing with the handle gear (2). Therefore, the rubber roller (4) is provided so as to always keep close contact with the upper surface of the paper even when the amount of paper increases or decreases, and can effectively suppress the displacement of the paper.

[0029] Next, FIG. 3 is a diagram showing a state in which the paper (13) is placed on FIG. 1 and a part of the paper (13) on the upper surface floats, and a single sheet of paper can be taken out. The rubber roller (4) with high frictional force rotates in a clockwise direction, and as a result, the frictional force acts between the rubber roller (4) and the paper (13) provided in close contact therewith. The part of the single sheet of paper (13) on the upper surface that is in close contact with the rubber roller (4) is pushed out by the rubber roller (4), and the paper that has slid downward has a state of floating later, and one sheet is discharged, so it becomes easily available.

[0030] And FIG. 4 is a side view of the apparatus installed by attaching it to the wall surface (vertically). By inserting a tool such as a driver into the wall-mounted space (16) provided at the four corners of the paper tray and screwing it using a screw (15) into the bottom surface mounting screw insertion portion (14) provided on the bottom surface, it is installed on the wall surface (vertically), and it has a structure that can be attached to the wall in this way.

[0031] Also, FIG. 5 is a diagram showing the paper (13) installed in FIG. 4. The paper (13) protrudes to the front side and shows a state in which a single sheet is discharged and can be taken out. Even when this device body is installed by being attached to a wall surface (vertically), the operation of the device and the operating state of the members remain exactly the same as when it is placed horizontally, and it is formed to enable a stable movement state. Therefore, whether it is placed horizontally (see Fig. 3) or attached to a wall (vertically) (see Fig. 5), since the paper can be discharged to the front side of the person operating it, it is possible to easily take out one sheet of paper, and the same effect can be obtained.

[0032] The device for taking out one sheet of paper according to this invention can be used in business scenes where one sheet of paper needs to be quickly discharged for packaging work etc., by those who perform repetitive work many times, and also for individual packaging bags etc. handled in convenience stores, supermarkets, restaurants, etc. And it is not limited to use in places with many people with physical disabilities, such as hospitals and nursing facilities, etc., and can be installed in any place, and can be conveniently used by anyone.

[0033] The material of the device body is most suitable for polypropylene, but there is no problem even if it is plastic, wood, or metal. Also, the rubber for the handle part and the rubber for the rubber roller, which have the characteristic of anti-slip and are also used for daily necessities, tools, etc., are suitable for TPR materials, but there is no problem even if it is rubber or silicon with anti-slip characteristics.
