[Figure 9] FIG. 10 is a front view of a fifth embodiment of the toilet paper holder of the present invention. [Figure 10] FIG. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
[0008] An embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to FIGS.
[0009] The toilet paper holder 1 is a toilet paper holder comprising: a first side surface 2 and a second side surface 3 facing each other to hold toilet paper P; a connecting member 4 having an L-shaped cross section and consisting of a top plate and a back plate that connects the first side surface 2 and the second side surface 3; toilet paper support means 5 that supports the toilet paper P in a state that prevents it from spinning freely; and a paper cutter 6 that cuts the toilet paper P. By swinging the paper cutter 6, which is provided swingably on the toilet paper holder, up and down, a first support shaft 7 that supports the paper cutter 6 rotates rearward relative to the first support shaft 7, and the toilet paper P is cut. The toilet paper holder 1 rotates the roll of toilet paper P in the toilet paper holder 1 in the direction that the toilet paper P comes out of the toilet paper holder 1, and the toilet paper P is pushed out of the toilet paper holder 1. The first spindle 7 that supports the paper cutter 6 is provided with a ratchet mechanism 8 that cuts off the transmission of power to the first spindle 7 when the paper cutter 6 is moved downward, and a conversion device 9 that reverses the direction of rotation is provided between the first spindle 7 that supports the paper cutter 6 and the toilet paper support means 5 that supports the toilet paper P.
[0010] As shown in Figures 1 and 2, the conversion device 9 is composed of one end attached to the paper cutter 6 and a tensioning tool 10 attached to the rear side of the toilet paper support means 5. The toilet paper support means 5 is provided with a weight or tension spring 11 to ensure stable operation of the toilet paper support means 5. A long hole 12 is formed in the paper cutter 6, and a handle 13 for adjusting the amount of toilet paper P dispensed is provided in the long hole 12, protruding from the first side surface 2; moving the paper cutter 6 toward the first support shaft 7 that supports it reduces the amount of toilet paper P dispensed, and moving it away from the first support shaft 7 that supports it increases the amount of toilet paper P dispensed, making it possible to compensate for the decrease in the amount of toilet paper P dispensed when the toilet paper P is running low.
[0011] 3 and 4, the conversion device 9 is an eight-figure belt formed by twisting a ring-shaped belt 14 into an eight-figure shape, and a first pulley 15 is provided on a first support shaft 7 that supports the paper cutter 6, and a second pulley 16 that faces the first pulley 15 is provided on the toilet paper support means 5 that supports the toilet paper P, and the eight-figure belt 14 is provided between the first pulley 15 and the second pulley 16. The paper cutter 6 is provided with toilet paper pressing means 21 that consists of a pressing part 17 that moves depending on the amount of toilet paper P remaining, a spring body 18, an adjustment screw 19, and an operator 20, and the operator 20 is provided to protrude from the connecting member 4.
[0012] As shown in Figures 5 and 6, the conversion device 9 is composed of a sector gear 22 fixed to the first support shaft 7 and a pinion gear 23 provided on the toilet paper support means 5 and meshing with the sector gear 22.
[0013] As shown in Figures 7 and 8, the conversion device 9 comprises a first crown gear 24 fixed to the first support shaft 7, a first pinion gear 25 meshing with the first crown gear 24, a second crown gear 26 fixed to the toilet paper support means 5, and a second pinion gear 27 meshing with the second crown gear 26, and the first pinion gear 25 and the second pinion gear 27 are connected via a support shaft 28, and the support shaft 28 is rotatably attached to a support wall 29 provided on the first side surface 2 or the second side surface 3.
[0014] As shown in Figures 9 and 10, the conversion device is composed of a first cam member 30, one end of which is supported at the middle of the longitudinal direction of the paper cutter 6, and a second cam member 31, one end of which is rotatably supported on the other end of the first cam member 30 and the other end of which is fixed to the toilet paper support means 5.
