Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0004] <000​​​​​ Therefore, using toilet paper was cumbersome and required the use of both hands, making it difficult for people with disabilities such as the visually impaired, those with limited use of one hand, and the elderly to cut the paper with the cutter at the end. Furthermore, users had to touch an unsanitary cover during use, and because the toilet paper was thin, there was a risk of contaminating the roll when picking up the tip of the paper stuck to it. This presented problems from the perspective of preventing infection from viruses such as coronavirus, influenza virus, and norovirus. In particular, facilities where infection prevention is paramount, such as hospitals, nursing homes, schools for people with disabilities, and public facilities, have been eagerly awaiting the development of a toilet paper holder that addresses these challenges.

[0006] The present invention was made to solve the above-mentioned problems, and its purpose is to provide a toilet paper holder that allows healthy individuals, as well as the elderly and people with disabilities, to cut toilet paper with one hand, and that is also excellent in terms of durability, economy, and hygiene, making it suitable for toilets in hospitals, nursing homes, schools for people with disabilities, public facilities, and so on. Furthermore, the present invention also aims to provide a toilet paper holder that allows for one-touch setting (paper feeding) of toilet paper, despite having a complex roller arrangement. [Means for solving the problem]

[0007] The present invention as described in claim 1 is a toilet paper holder for holding a roll around which toilet paper is wound, comprising a main casing, a lid attached to the main casing so as to be openable and closable, a roll shaft support for rotatably supporting the roll, and a first roller, a second roller, and a third roller parallel to each other for gripping and transporting the toilet paper pulled from the roll, wherein the first roller is rotatably supported on the main casing side, and the second and third rollers are rotatably supported on the lid side, and in the state in which the lid is closed, the third roller contacts the outer circumferential surface of the first roller from a position above the first roller by its own weight, and the second roller approaches or contacts the first roller in front of the first roller, thereby forming a transport path for gripping the toilet paper.

[0008] Here, the term "upper position" in this invention is a broad concept that includes not only the vertically above the first roller (the roller on the main body side), but also the diagonally upper position that is eccentric in front of or behind the vertical line passing through the axis of the first roller. In other words, the third roller (the upper roller) is not limited to resting on the first roller from directly above, but may lean against it from the rear and slightly above, or from the front and slightly above. In any configuration, as long as the third roller exerts a component force on the first roller side from above due to its own weight, the intended effects of the present invention will be achieved.

[0009] The type of toilet paper holder is arbitrary. For example, it is not limited to wall-mounted types, but can also be applied to various forms of toilet paper dispensers, such as floor-standing types, those attached to chairs in portable toilets, types embedded in cabinets, and those that use large rolls (jumbo rolls) in public facilities.

[0010] Toilet paper holders generally have a main casing. The material of the main casing is not limited. For example, various types of plastics, various types of metals, various types of wood, etc., can be used. Furthermore, the structure of the main casing is arbitrary. The configuration of the roll shaft support is also arbitrary. For example, a shaft member installed between the side plates of the toilet paper holder (main casing) can be used. Other options include a structure that can support a roll of toilet paper with or without a core, a structure that holds the roll rotatably with a cantilever arm, or a known holding mechanism that allows the roll to be replaced with a single touch. Furthermore, the material and shape of the lid are arbitrary. Additionally, attaching a lock to the lid can prevent toilet paper theft (including vandalism).

[0011] The present invention as described in claim 2 is a toilet paper holder as described in claim 1, characterized in that an elastic member is provided on the outer circumferential surface of each of the first roller, the second roller, and the third roller.

[0012] In this context, "elastic material" refers to a material that increases the coefficient of friction with the toilet paper pulled from the roll, and can also absorb variations in paper thickness (differences in paper quality such as single or double ply) through its own elastic deformation. Specifically, this includes materials such as foamed urethane, sponge rubber, soft resin, elastomer, and silicone rubber. Claim 2 describes a configuration in which an elastic member is provided on all rollers, but the specific configuration of the "elastic member" provided on each roller is not limited to winding a sponge sheet. For example, the roller's shaft core may be coated with rubber or elastomer to form a single integrated structure, or multiple rubber O-rings may be mounted at intervals along the axial direction. Alternatively, the entire roller may be molded from a soft resin to form a "total elastic roller."

[0013] Furthermore, the material of the elastic member is not limited to foam (sponge). Any material or shape that provides an anti-slip effect on paper is included in the "elastic member" of this invention, including solid rubber materials, gel-like materials, or materials with a fine napped finish (flocking).

[0014] The present invention as described in claim 3 is a toilet paper holder as described in claim 1 or 2, characterized in that the lid has left and right side plates that support the second roller and the third roller, the second roller and the third roller separate from the first roller when the lid is opened, and the toilet paper pulled from the roll can be automatically introduced between the first roller and the third roller and between the first roller and the second roller as the lid is closed.

[0015] With this configuration, the user simply pulls out the end of the roll of toilet paper to the appropriate length, lets it hang down, and closes the lid. The third roller (top) and the second roller (front) automatically engage with the first roller (body side), creating a complex transport path. In other words, the troublesome task of threading the paper between narrow rollers is completely eliminated.

[0016] The present invention as described in claim 4 is a toilet paper holder as described in claim 1 or 2, characterized in that the lid has a side plate portion, the third roller is supported to be able to move up and down along an elongated hole or guide groove formed in the side plate portion, and when the lid is closed, the weight of the third roller acts as a pressing force on the first roller.

[0017] In this context, "elevation freely adjustable" means that the third roller is not supported by a fixed shaft, but is supported in a way that allows it to be displaced in the direction of gravity. Specifically, this refers to a configuration in which the roller is guided by elongated holes or guide grooves provided in the side plate (frame) of the lid, allowing it to move vertically (or diagonally). This allows the third roller to absorb minute variations in the thickness of the toilet paper and manufacturing errors, while continuously applying a constant pressing force due to its own weight to the first roller and the toilet paper between them.

[0018] The present invention as described in claim 5 is a toilet paper holder as described in claim 1 or 2, characterized in that the lid has a front plate portion, a cutter located near the lower end of the second roller on the lower edge of the front plate portion, and the toilet paper is fixed by the braking force of the first roller, the second roller and the third roller by an action of lifting the toilet paper dispensing portion upward, and the toilet paper can be cut by the cutter.

[0019] The placement of the cutter near the lower end of the second roller has significant technical importance in achieving one-handed operation. When the leading end of the toilet paper roll is "lifted upward," the paper wraps tightly around the circumference of the second roller (increasing the gripping angle), and the contact area of ​​each roller, including the second roller, increases rapidly. As a result, the frictional resistance of each roller and the pressing force due to the weight of the third roller act synergistically, instantly creating a "locked state" that strongly prevents the paper from being dispensed. Furthermore, the low cutter position ensures that the excess paper hanging down after cutting is kept to the minimum necessary length, preventing you from losing the paper the next time you use it, or conversely, preventing it from being too long and touching the floor.

[0020] The shape and structure of the cutter are not limited. For example, it is not limited to a sharp metal blade; it may also be a synthetic resin front plate with a serrated (serrated) or wavy lower edge. Furthermore, the cutter is not limited to a fixed type; it may be a movable cutter with a safety cover that exposes the blade only when cutting paper. Regarding the "near the bottom end" positioning, it is not strictly necessary for it to be at the same height as the lowest point of the second roller. As long as the second roller acts as a fulcrum when the paper is lifted, applying tension to the paper and facilitating cutting, slight vertical or horizontal deviations are within the scope of the present invention.

Advantages of the Invention

[0021] According to the present invention, since the third roller presses the first roller (and the paper tip pulled out from the roll-shaped toilet paper therebetween) by its own weight, a constant and appropriate tension can always be applied regardless of the remaining amount of the roll. Moreover, it is easy to cut with one hand not only for healthy people but also for the elderly and disabled people, and it is excellent in durability, economy, and hygiene. For example, a toilet paper holder suitable for toilets in hospitals, nursing facilities, schools for the disabled, public facilities, etc. can be provided.

[0022] Particularly, according to the present invention described in claim 2, elastic members are provided on the outer peripheral surfaces of all of the first roller, the second roller, and the third roller. Thereby, compared with the case where smooth surfaces such as metal and hard resin come into contact with each other, the friction coefficient between each roller and the paper tip pulled out from the roll-shaped toilet paper is significantly increased. As a result, when the toilet paper is conveyed, the three rollers surely grip the paper tip and send it out, and when stopped (at the time of cutting), a strong braking force is exerted. Moreover, even if there are differences in the thickness of the toilet paper or irregularities due to embossing, the elastic members of each roller elastically deform flexibly to absorb them, so that a stable clamping state can always be maintained.

[0023] Also, according to the present invention described in claim 3, since each roller interlocks with the opening and closing operation of the lid body, it becomes easy to set the toilet paper. Just by opening the lid, the first roller and the second and third rollers are separated, and just by pulling out the paper tip and closing the lid, an appropriate conveyance path (nip (clamping) state) is automatically formed. Thereby, the problem of "difficulty in passing the paper" in the conventional three-roller type holder can be solved.

[0024] Furthermore, according to the present invention as described in claim 4, since the third roller is supported so as to be able to move up and down, it is possible to always apply a constant pressing force due to its own weight while absorbing fluctuations in paper thickness and eccentricity of the roller. As a result, quiet operation and a smooth drawing feel are obtained.

[0025] Furthermore, according to the present invention as described in claim 5, the cutter is positioned in front of the second roller and near the lower end of the second roller. Therefore, when a user pulls the leading edge of a roll of toilet paper forward and then lifts it upward to cut it, the paper wraps around the circumference of the second roller, significantly increasing the contact angle (wrapping angle) of the toilet paper with respect to the second roller.

[0026] As a result, the clamping force and frictional resistance of the second roller and other rollers connected to it act on the leading edge of the paper over the increased contact area, instantly generating a powerful braking force. Consequently, the toilet paper is securely locked in place while the leading edge of the paper is pressed against the cutter, preventing the toilet paper from being unintentionally pulled out and allowing for easy and reliable cutting of the leading edge even with one-handed operation.

[0028] The following describes specific embodiments of the present invention. Here, as an example of a toilet paper holder, we will use a toilet paper holder that is screwed to the wall of a toilet as an example. [Examples]

[0029] As shown in Figures 1 and 2, the toilet paper holder 10 according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention comprises a main casing 11 fixed to the wall surface W of a toilet, a lid 12 attached to the main casing 11 so as to be openable and closable, a roll shaft support 13 that supports a roll R of toilet paper (hereinafter sometimes simply referred to as paper or paper) P housed inside, and three groups of rollers (first to third rollers 14 to 16) for transporting and braking the paper P pulled out from the roll R.

[0030] The main casing 11 is a box-shaped structure made of a rigid synthetic resin (for example, acrylic, ABS, polycarbonate, etc.) and has a back panel 17 that forms the back, and side panels 18 and 19 that extend forward from both the left and right sides thereof. The lid 12 is a transparent, rigid synthetic resin component consisting of a front plate portion 31 that covers the front surface of the main casing 11 and has a horizontally elongated cutter 35 formed on its lower edge, an upper plate portion 32 that covers the upper surface of the main casing 11, and left and right side plate portions 33 and 34 that cover a part of the side. The lid 12 is rotatably connected to the main casing 11 via a pair of left and right hinges 20 provided behind its upper plate portion 32. As shown in Figure 1, when the lid is closed, the lid 12 works together with the main casing 11 to protect the interior. Furthermore, attaching a lock to the lid can prevent toilet paper theft (including vandalism).

[0031] The roller group described above consists of a first roller (fixed side roller) 14 that is rotatably supported on the main casing 11 side, and a second roller (movable side front roller) 15 and a third roller (movable side upper roller) 16 that are pivotally supported on the lid 12 side, respectively. Of these, the first roller 14 is positioned at a fixed lower position on the main casing 11, and the second roller 15 is positioned towards the front of the lower end of the lid 12. The third roller 16 is loosely fitted into elongated hole guides 33a and 34a, respectively, which are engraved on the inside of the lower ends of the left and right side plates 33 and 34 of the lid 12, and is supported so as to be able to move up and down.

[0032] As shown in Figures 1 and 3 to 6, in the usage state with the lid 12 closed, these three first to third rollers 14 to 16 form a transport path that bends the toilet paper P diagonally into an S shape (or roughly an L shape) when viewed from the side, and then grips it. Specifically, the third roller 16 contacts the first roller 14 from directly above or diagonally above and behind due to its own weight (upper nip), and the second roller 15 contacts the first roller 14 from the front (front nip). A thick sponge (elastic material) S is wrapped around the surface of each of the first to third rollers 14 to 16. This increases the grip strength of the paper P.

[0033] The distinguishing feature of this embodiment 1 is that the opening and closing operation of the lid 12 and the setting operation of the first to third rollers 14 to 16 are synchronized. When the lid 12 is opened upward from the state shown in Figure 1, the second roller 15 and the third roller 16 move together with the lid 12 in a large arc upward and forward, separating from the first roller 14. As a result, the front and top of the first roller 14 are largely opened.

[0034] Here, the user simply needs to set a new roll R and let the toilet paper P hang onto the first roller 14. Then, when the lid 12 is closed, the third roller 16 and the second roller 15 return to their original positions, automatically gripping the paper P and completing the setup as shown in Figure 1.

[0035] Next, referring to Figures 3 to 6, we will describe in detail the series of actions by which the transport path for the toilet paper P is automatically formed in conjunction with the setting operation of the toilet paper P, that is, the closing operation of the lid 12.

[0036] [Phase 1: Opening and setting (see Figure 3)] First, as shown in Figure 3, when the user fully opens the lid 12 upwards, the second roller 15 and the third roller 16, which are supported at the lower end and side plate of the lid 12, are greatly lifted forward and upward, following an arc trajectory centered on the hinge 20. As a result, the space in front of and above the first roller 14, which is fixed to the main casing 11, becomes a completely open space with nothing obstructing it.

[0037] In this state, the user loads a new roll R into the pivot 13, pulls out the tip of the paper P from the roll R, and simply lets it hang down so that it rests on the upper outer surface of the first roller 14. At this point, the paper P hangs down vertically due to its own weight and comes to rest in a state that covers the front surface of the first roller 14. At this stage, the paper P is not engaged with any of the rollers 14-16, and is simply leaning against the first roller 14.

[0038] [Stage 2: Closing operation and roller approach (see Figures 4 and 5)] Next, as shown in Figure 4, when the user rotates the lid 12 downward and starts the closing operation, the second roller 15 and the third roller 16 begin to descend together with the lid 12. In this case, the second roller 15 takes a trajectory that approaches the front of the first roller 14 in an arc, starting from a distant position in front of the first roller 14.

[0039] Meanwhile, the third roller 16, while positioned at its lowest point (or the end of the guide) within each elongated hole guide 33a, 34a due to its own weight, takes a trajectory that approaches the top of the first roller 14 from a distant position above it (see Figure 5). During this closing operation, the paper P is already hanging down in front of the first roller 14, forming a curtain, but the second roller 15 and the third roller 16 will approach from the outside (front and top) of this curtain of paper P.

[0040] [Stage 3: Contact and Entanglement (See Figures 5 and 6)] As the lid 12 approaches the closed position, the first to third rollers 14 to 16 sequentially or simultaneously begin the following physical interference (contact). First, the outer surface (sponge S) of the second roller 15, which is approaching from the front, comes into contact with the surface of the paper P hanging down in front of the first roller 14. Then, due to the force of the lid 12 closing, the second roller 15 pushes the paper P backward and presses it against the front outer surface (sponge S) of the first roller 14. As a result, a front nip portion is formed between the first roller 14 and the second roller 15, and the downstream side of the paper P is restrained.

[0041] Almost simultaneously, or slightly later, the outer surface (sponge S) of the third roller 16, which has descended from above, lands on the surface of the paper P resting on the upper surface of the first roller 14. In this case, the third roller 16 can move along the elongated guides 33a and 34a, so even if it collides with the first roller (and the paper P above it) 14, it does not bounce off but makes a soft landing on the paper P and presses the paper P against the upper surface of the first roller 14 by its own weight. As a result, an upper nip portion is formed between the first roller 14 and the third roller 16, and the upstream side of the paper P is restrained.

[0042] [Stage 4: Setup complete (see Figures 1 and 6)] As shown in Figures 1 and 6, when the lid 12 is completely closed, the toilet paper P is forcibly bent to follow the circumferential surface of the first roller 14, and a roughly S-shaped (or L-shaped) transport path is completed, in which it starts from the pressing point (upper part) by the third roller 16, wraps around the outer circumference of the first roller 14, passes through the pressing point (front part) by the second roller 15, and is discharged downwards.

[0043] In other words, even though the user only performs the simple one-touch action of "dropping the toilet paper P and closing the lid 12," the result is that the toilet paper P is set in a complex manner, weaving between the three rollers 14-16. In this sequence of operations, the user does not need to pinch the tip of the toilet paper P with their fingertips to thread it through a narrow gap, nor do they need to manually adjust the position of rollers 14-16.

[0044] Thus, in the toilet paper holder 10 of Example 1, the third roller 16 presses against the first roller (and the toilet paper P between them) 14 by its own weight, so that a constant and appropriate tension can always be applied regardless of the remaining amount of paper on the roll. Furthermore, because it does not use external force such as an electric motor to pull out the toilet paper P from the roll R, it is less prone to malfunctions, does not require a power source, and can provide stable functionality almost indefinitely. Moreover, the toilet paper holder 10 is designed to allow not only able-bodied individuals but also the elderly and people with disabilities to easily cut toilet paper P with one hand, and is also durable, economical, and hygienic. As a result, we can provide a toilet paper holder 10 that is suitable for toilets in places where infection prevention measures against coronavirus, influenza virus, norovirus, etc., are constantly required, such as hospitals, nursing homes, schools for people with disabilities, and public facilities.

[0045] Next, with reference to Figure 7, a toilet paper holder 10A according to Embodiment 2 of the present invention will be described. The toilet paper holder 10A of Example 2 is characterized by its improved toilet paper holding power P achieved by changing the number and arrangement of rollers.

[0046] Specifically, the first roller 14, which is fixed to the main casing 11, is composed of a first upper roller 14A and a first lower roller 14B, which are arranged in parallel vertically. In other words, when the holder is in use and the lid 12 is closed, the third roller 16 on the lid side contacts the first upper roller 14A on the main body side from a rear-upward angle, and the second roller 15 on the lid side contacts the first upper roller 14A from a front-downward angle, and also contacts the first lower roller 14B on the main body side from a front-upward angle.

[0047] As a result, the toilet paper P passes through a total of two nip sections (clamping sections) as the movable rollers (15, 16) are pressed against the fixed rollers (14A, 14B) at the top and bottom, respectively. As a result, the fixed side receives the paper P across a surface (a span of two strips), providing better stability when the paper P is suspended during auto-setting, and further reducing jamming errors (such as paper folding) when closing the lid. Other components, functions, and effects can be inferred from Example 1, and therefore will not be described.

[0048] Next, with reference to Figure 8, a toilet paper holder 10B according to Embodiment 3 of the present invention will be described. The toilet paper holder 10B of Example 3 is characterized in that, similar to Example 2, the first roller 14 on the main body side is made up of two (14A, 14B), and furthermore, the upper surface of the main body casing 11A is made into a flat mounting base (shelf) 30.

[0049] The lid 12A of Embodiment 3 is not an L-shaped structure that covers the upper surface of the main casing 11 as in Embodiment 1, but is composed of a front plate portion 31 that substantially closes only the front opening of the main casing 11A. This lid 12A is attached to the main casing 11A so as to be able to open and close via a hinge 20 provided on the front edge (or directly below) of the mounting base 30.

[0050] Furthermore, the left and right side plates 33A and 34A of the lid 12A are shorter in length (vertical and depth dimensions) compared to those of Embodiment 1, and are formed only at the lower part of each side. This is because the lid 12 operates in a limited space below the mounting base 30, and is designed to be the minimum size necessary to support the second roller 15 and the third roller 16.

[0051] Thus, the short and compact side panels 33 and 34 have the advantage of not protruding too much when the lid 12A is opened, thus not constricting the space inside the toilet. Furthermore, by providing a mounting platform 30 at the upper end of the main casing 11A, small items such as smartphones and air fresheners can be placed on it. Other components, functions, and effects can be inferred from Example 1, and therefore will not be described.

[0052] Next, with reference to Figure 9, a toilet paper holder 10C according to Embodiment 4 of the present invention will be described. The distinguishing feature of the toilet paper holder 10C in Example 4 is that, similar to Example 3, the first roller 14 on the main body side is composed of two (14A, 14B), and the third roller 16 and second roller 15, which are supported on the lid side 12, are arranged almost vertically (in a straight line vertically).

[0053] As a result, when the lid 12 is closed, the third roller 16 on the lid side contacts the first upper roller 14A on the main body side from the front and diagonally above, while the second roller 15 on the lid side contacts the first roller 14 from the front and diagonally below, and also contacts the first lower roller 14B on the main body side from the front and diagonally above.

[0054] In this case, the pressing force (vertical component force) due to the roller's own weight may be insufficient to provide sufficient nip pressure (clamping pressure). Therefore, an elastic member (not shown), such as an auxiliary spring that biases toward the fixed roller, may be provided in the bearing portion of at least one of the movable third roller 16 and second roller 15. In this way, the movable rollers 15 and 16 will be securely in contact with the two fixed rollers 14A and 14B, and will function as a weight-based assist, thereby ensuring reliable paper feeding and locking. Other components, functions, and effects can be inferred from Example 1 or Example 2, and therefore will not be described.

[0055] Next, with reference to Figure 10, a toilet paper holder 10D according to Embodiment 5 of the present invention will be described. The distinguishing feature of the toilet paper holder 10D in Example 5 is that it is a "stand type" in which the vertically elongated main casing 11B is installed on the floor, rather than being a wall-mounted type. This stand-type design allows for installation and use in various locations, such as rental properties where holes cannot be drilled into the walls, places with insufficient wall strength, or next to portable toilets for elderly care. Other components, functions, and effects can be inferred from Example 1, and therefore will not be described. [Explanation of symbols]
