[Detailed description of the device] [Industrial applications]

TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a paper towel holder that is used by being attached to a wall, stores a large number of laminated paper towels therein, and can take out the paper towels one by one from a lower outlet.

[Prior art]

Various types of holders for paper towels of this type are known. For example, the configuration disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 57-110082 is known as a conventional example.
In this conventional example, the paper towels stored in a stacked state are to be accurately taken out one by one.To this end, the drawer provided in the bottom plate is sandwiched between the support members that support the lower surfaces of the paper towels on both sides. It has been formed. However, the bottom surface of the stored paper towel is supported by the support member, and when the storage amount is large, the thickness of the paper towel keeps the paper towel substantially horizontal. However, when the storage amount is small, the paper towel is in the middle portion of the support member. The bending phenomenon gradually occurs, and when it becomes even smaller, the bending phenomenon becomes large, and the influence of the friction of the paper towels of the laminated comrades becomes large. There is a problem that it is not possible to take out one by one. This problem has been solved by the holder for paper towel described in the specification of Japanese Patent Application No. 1-37117 of the prior application and the drawing of the same applicant. In the invention of this earlier application, the stored paper towel is pressed from the front side by the pressing member, and is supported by the receiving member (rib) provided in the vicinity of the take-out port, thereby forming a convex arch upward. Regardless of how much is stored, the paper towels are prevented from bending and can be taken out one by one in a stable manner.

[Problems to be solved by the device]

In both the configuration of the conventional paper towel holder and the invention of the prior application, the lid member or the cover member is rotatably attached to the main body.
The rotation angle is approximately 90 °. This is because, especially in the invention of the above-mentioned prior application, when the lid member or the cover member is rotated by 90 ° or more when the paper towel is stored, the tip of the receiving member (rib) faces downward and the lower surface of the paper towel is lowered. This is because the tip ends of the receiving members (ribs) do not slide on the lower surface of the paper towel even if the lid or the cover member is returned to the original position because the lid or the cover member is returned to the original state, and it cannot be stored in an arch shape well. However, when the lid member or the cover member is opened when the paper towel is stored, the lid member or the cover member is positioned at a substantially right angle to the front side of the main body and has a considerable length as a cover,
To that extent, it will be in a state of protruding to the front side. In this state,
When you try to store paper towels, not only the lid member or cover member that protrudes toward you will be an obstacle, but the depth of the storage position will be deeper as much as it protrudes, and the installation location (for example, the back of the counter) or installation Depending on the position (height), the storage work will be extremely difficult, and if the storage is loose, it will not be possible to take out one by one. Therefore, in the conventional paper towel holder of this type, in combination with the stable removal of the paper towels one by one, there is a problem that the easiness of the storage work should be solved regardless of the installation location. ing.

[Means for Solving the Problems]

As a concrete means for solving the problems of the conventional example, the present invention is directed to a box-shaped main body having an open front surface, an inner cover rotatably attached to an upper front side of the main body, and a lower front side of the main body. An outer cover rotatably attached to the outer cover, and a short lower inner cover that is opened and closed coaxially with the outer cover and is located inside the outer cover. The first paper towel receiving member is provided at the bottom of the main body. A second paper towel receiving member is provided on the lower inner cover, and a stopper that locks with the main body at an angle of about 90 ° is provided when rotating.
The outer cover provides a holder for a paper towel, which is configured to rotate in an angle range of about 180 °, and a disturbing outer cover does not project to the front side of the main body. Not only the work is facilitated, but the bottom plate of the main body is provided with the first paper towel receiving member, and the lower inner cover is provided with the second paper towel receiving member. When the bottom surface of the paper towel is slid, the inner cover is pressed from the side surface of the paper towel so that the entire paper can be housed in an arched shape, so that the paper towels can be stably taken out one by one.

【Example】

Next, the present invention will be described in more detail with reference to the illustrated embodiment. Reference numeral 1 denotes a box-shaped main body, which is used by being attached to a wall surface. It A pair of bearing members 2 are integrally formed on the upper side so as to project toward both sides of the opening of the main body 1, and another pair of bearing members 3 are also integrally formed on the lower side so as to protrude toward the lower side. Are provided with shaft holes 2a and 3a, respectively. Further, the bottom plate 4 of the main body 1 is provided with a notch portion 5 in the center thereof, and the bottom plate on both sides of the notch portion is attached with first paper towel receiving members 6 which stand upright by appropriate means, and each paper towel receiving member 6 is attached. A plurality of ribs 6a having a curved surface are formed on the upper surface of the member 6 to reduce frictional engagement with the paper towel. When attaching the first paper towel receiving member 6, for example, an adhesive may be used, but in the illustrated embodiment, a screw 7 is used. Further, on the top plate 8 of the main body 1, an engaging tongue piece 9 for engaging an outer cover to be described later in a covered state is formed to project. An inner cover 10 is rotatably attached to the upper bearing member 2 via boss portions 11 formed on both sides so as to hang down toward the opening, and the inner cover 10 is flipped up. Occasionally, a notch or punch hole 12 is provided to allow the engagement tongue 9 to escape. In this case, the inner cover 10 is attached by locating the inner cover 10 inside the bearing member 2 and inserting the boss portion 11 into the shaft hole 2a while expanding the elastic bearing member 2 to release the expansion. Thus, the inner cover 10 is rotatably and stably attached between the bearing members 2. A lower inner cover 13 and an outer cover 14 are coaxially and rotatably attached to the lower bearing member 3. In this case, the length of the lower inner cover 13 is approximately 1/3 of that of the outer cover 14.
It should be a short length, and both sides of it should be slightly longer.
15 is provided in a protruding manner, a concave portion 16 is formed for facilitating picking of the paper towel, and a step portion 17 is formed for stabilizing engagement with the outer cover 14 at the time of applying the lid. Furthermore, in the state of being attached to the main body 1,
A convex edge 18 of the rib for restricting the rotation is integrally formed along both side surfaces, and its end is at a predetermined position,
That is, a stopper 18a is formed in the vicinity of the boss portion 15 and regulates the lower inner cover 13 so as to rotate substantially within an angle range of about 90 °. Then, a second paper towel receiving member 19 is integrally attached to the lower inner cover 13 by an appropriate attaching means such as a screw 20 so as to face the first paper towel receiving member 6. The second paper towel receiving member 19 also has a plurality of ribs 19a formed on the upper surface of the second paper towel receiving member 19 with a curved surface so as to reduce frictional engagement with the paper towel. The lower inner cover 13 is attached to the lower bearing member 3
In the same manner as described above, when mounting on the shaft member, the shaft member is positioned inside the bearing member 3 and the elastic bearing member 3 is pushed and expanded to expand the shaft hole.
The lower inner cover 13 is rotatably and stably attached between the bearing members 3 by inserting the boss portion 15 into the 3a and releasing the pushing expansion. In this case, since the boss portion 15 is slightly elongated, it is in a state of slightly protruding from the shaft hole 3a. The outer cover 14 is formed to have a size that entirely covers the front opening of the main body 1, and has an attachment portion 21 at one end and an engagement portion 22 at the other end. Both ends of the mounting portion 21 are formed in a protruding state, shaft holes 23 are respectively provided in the vicinity of the end portions, and convex portions 24 of a ring strip are provided so as to surround these shaft holes. Further, the engaging portion 22 is formed with a recess or punching hole 25 for receiving the engaging tongue piece 9 of the main body 1, and the protruding portion of the engaging portion substantially opens and closes the outer cover 14. It becomes the time picking section 22a. The outer cover 14 is attached by an elastic attachment portion.
21 is pushed out and positioned outside the both bearing members 3, and the protruding boss portion 15 is inserted into and engaged with the shaft hole 23, and then the push widening is released so that the mounting portion 21 is moved to the both bearing members 3 Is rotatably attached while being held from the outside, and can be rotated substantially within an angle range of about 180 °. still,
A decorative cover 26 is fitted on the convex portion 24 in order to enhance the appearance and the commercial value. In the figure, 27 is a laminated paper towel. The paper towel holder of the present invention having the above-described structure, as shown in FIG. 2, opens the outer cover 14 and the lower inner cover 13 and then the inner cover 10 with the main body 1 mounted on the wall surface. By flipping it up,
The entire surface of the main body 1 is opened so that the paper towel 27 can be stored therein. At this time, the outer cover
The reference numeral 14 is positioned so as to hang down from the lower portion of the main body 1, and the lower inner cover 13 is positioned at a substantially right angle to the main body 1. As shown in FIG. 3, this positional relationship is such that the outer cover 14 merely has the mounting portion 21 engaged with the boss portion 15, and the angular range of its rotation is approximately 180 °, which is almost the same. This is because the stopper inner ends 18a of the convex edges 18 provided on both side surfaces of the lower inner cover 13 are in contact with the bearing member 3 so that the rotation of the lower inner cover 13 is restricted within an angle range of about 90 °. It is located at a right angle. In this state, a predetermined amount of stacked paper towels 27 is placed at a predetermined position, that is, on the upper part of the first paper towel receiving member 6 and the second paper towel receiving member 19, and as shown in FIG. Lower 10 and cover. At this time,
The inner cover 10 is slightly tilted with respect to the Y axis.
From this state, the outer cover 14 is rotated together with the lower inner cover 13 to cover the inner cover 10 so that the inner cover 10 is pushed further inward to engage the outer cover 14. The engaging tongue 9 is engaged with the portion 22 to complete the storage operation of the paper towel 27 (see FIG. 5). In this paper towel storing operation, the outer cover 14 is positioned below the main body 1 and only the lower inner cover 13 having a short length is projected to the front side. Paper towel 27
The mounting position, that is, the overall depth is shortened, and the storage work can be easily performed. Further, the paper towel 27 thus stored is forced to be pressed by the inner cover 10 and the outer cover 14, and the presence of the first paper towel receiving member 6 and the second paper towel receiving member 19 causes As shown in FIG. 6, the paper towel 27 stored inside is stored in the shape of an arch that is convex upward. As the whole is stored in an arch like this, the paper towel 27
Even if the storage amount of the paper towel 27 is reduced, the phenomenon of hanging down in the central portion does not occur between the first paper towel receiving member 6 and the second paper towel receiving member 19, and the paper towels 27 can be stably taken out one by one. It can be done.

[Effect of device]
