PAPER-PULLING STRUCTURE OF CLEANING PAPER ROLL
A paper-pulling structure of a cleaning paper roll is provided and includes the cleaning paper roll and a container. The cleaning paper roll is a cylindrical structure provided therein with a cylindrical hollow core and formed by winding around the cylindrical hollow core a cleaning paper which is long and continuous. The container shuts in and contains the cleaning paper roll. The container includes a tearable perforation disposed on the container and corresponding in position to an outer side of an end of the cylindrical hollow core. As soon as the tearable perforation is torn apart by a user to form a tearable opening, an end of the cleaning paper below the outer side of the cylindrical hollow core can be pulled out by the user to protrude from the tearable opening and be exposed. Hence, the user can operate the cleaning paper roll by giving a center pull thereto.
The present invention relates to cleaning paper rolls, and more particularly, to a pull-based paper-pulling structure of a cleaning paper roll.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTIONA user grips and pulls the outermost layer of a conventional tissue paper roll such that the conventional tissue paper roll rotates until the tissue paper of a desired length is available. Then, the user tears the tissue paper of the desired length off the body of the tissue paper roll. The user is likely to sever the tissue paper inadvertently while pulling it and rotating the tissue paper roll entirely. Furthermore, the user has to perform the aforesaid process with both hands simultaneously (with one hand holding the tissue paper roll, and the other hand tearing the tissue paper), thereby bringing inconvenience to the user, because the user's two hands must be dedicated to the aforesaid process. By contrast, the user starts taking conventional center pull tissue paper from its uppermost layer. The conventional center pull tissue paper consists of stacked layers of tissue paper, wherein the tissue paper layers are folded and stacked alternately. Although the conventional center pull tissue paper manifests ease of use, it has two drawbacks. First, it incurs a waste of the tissue paper as a result of a tissue paper cutting procedure carried out during the manufacturing process. Second, the conventional center pull tissue paper predisposes users to taking too much tissue paper inadvertently.
In view of the drawbacks of conventional tissue paper rolls and conventional center pull tissue paper, the inventor of the present invention realizes there is much room for improvement on the prior art and devises a paper-pulling structure of a cleaning paper roll such that users can start using the cleaning paper roll by pulling it.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTIONIt is an objective of the present invention to provide a paper-pulling structure of a cleaning paper roll such that users can start using the cleaning paper roll by pulling it.
In order to achieve the above and other objectives, the present invention provides a paper-pulling structure of a cleaning paper roll, comprising: a cleaning paper roll being a cylindrical structure provided therein with a cylindrical hollow core and formed by winding a long continuous cleaning paper around the cylindrical hollow core; and a container for shutting in and containing the cleaning paper roll, the container comprising at least one tearable perforation disposed on the container and corresponding in position to an outer side of an end of the cylindrical hollow core, wherein, as soon as the at least one tearable perforation is torn apart by a user to form a tearable opening, an end of the cleaning paper below the outer side of the cylindrical hollow core can be pulled out by the user to protrude from the tearable opening and thus be exposed.
The other functions and technical features of the present invention are further described below, so that persons skilled in the art can implement the present invention in accordance with the description below.
Technical features and advantages of the present invention are hereunder illustrated with preferred embodiments in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, in which:
Referring to
The container 13 shuts in and contains the cleaning paper roll 11. The container 13 comprises a tearable opening 131. The tearable opening 131 is disposed at the container 13 and corresponds in position to the outer side of one of the ends of a hollow post 11b. The container 13 is made of a soft plastic material, a general paper material, an oily paper material, a waterproof paper material, or any other appropriate material. The container 13 further comprises at least one tearable perforation 131′. As soon as the tearable perforation 131′ is torn apart by a user (not shown), the tearable opening 131 is formed on the container 13. Alternatively, the tearable perforation 131′ defines a closed region when torn apart. For example, the tearable perforation 131′ follows a round path and thereby forms the round tearable opening 131, and, alternatively, the tearable perforation 131′ follows a rectangular path and thereby forms the rectangular tearable opening 131.

Accordingly, the present invention provides a paper-pulling structure 1 of a cleaning paper roll, characterized in that: from a structural perspective, the paper-pulling structure enables a user to manipulate the cleaning paper roll by giving a center pull thereto; and the paper-pulling structure includes an adhesive adapted to be affixed to an object 2 such that, during the paper pulling process performed by the user, it is feasible to prevent the cleaning paper roll from sliding, prevent the otherwise stationary cleaning paper roll from being swayed by a gust of wind, and prevent the cleaning paper roll from being moved when hit inadvertently.
Hence, the present invention meets the three requirements of patentability, namely novelty, non-obviousness, and industrial applicability.
The present invention is disclosed above by preferred embodiments. However, persons skilled in the art should understand that the preferred embodiments are illustrative of the present invention only, but should not be interpreted as restrictive of the scope of the present invention. Hence, all equivalent changes and modifications made to the aforesaid embodiments should fall within the scope of the present invention.
