Abstract
A roll holder for holding and dispensing a roll of paper such as toilet paper. A paper roll is mounted so that its end will come out from behind. The paper can be easily pulled out downwardly. After a desired length has been pulled out, the paper is pulled forwardly. A working plate is pivoted under tension of the paper so that the paper will be pressed and braked between the working plate and a braking member of a resilient material. Simultaneously, a cutter coupled with the working plate will project out of the body so that the paper can be cut cleanly with a single hand.
Claims3
A roll holder for holding a roll of paper, comprising:
- a holder body;
- a support fixedly mounted in and extending in the direction from the front to the rear of said holder body for supporting the roll of paper;
- a working plate pivotally mounted below said support;
- a braking means made of a resilient material and mounted behind said working plate for applying braking force to the paper pulled downwardly out of the roll and guided between said working plate and said braking means;
- and
- a cutter mounted on said support forwardly of said working plate for cutting the paper pulled downwardly and then forwardly;
- whereby said working plate is pivoted under tension of the paper when the paper is pulled forwardly, thereby pressing the paper between said braking means and said working plate for braking, and the paper is cut when the paper is pulled upwardly against said cutter.
