Abstract:
1. A tissue roll holder comprising: a sucking member having a flexible disc body that has a peripheral portion adapted to be attached sealingly to a supporting surface, and a central portion connected integrally to said peripheral portion and adapted to be spaced apart from the supporting surface, and a threaded rod connected to and extending upwardly from said central portion of said disc body; an abutting plate having an upwardly protruding convex central portion disposed above and spaced apart from said central portion of said disc body of said sucking member, and permitting extension of said threaded rod of said sucking member therethrough, and a peripheral abutting portion extending horizontally, radially and outwardly from a periphery of said central portion of said abutting plate and abutting against said peripheral portion of said disc body of said sucking member; a mounting seat disposed on said abutting plate and having a generally horizontal loading plate that is formed with a threaded hole for engaging said threaded rod of said sucking member, that is rotatable about said threaded rod of said sucking member relative to said abutting plate, and that is adapted for loading a tissue roll thereon, and a mounting rod connected to and extending upwardly from said loading plate and adapted for permitting the tissue roll to be sleeved thereon, said loading plate being formed with a through hole disposed adjacent to a periphery of said loading plate, and having a spring-receiving seat mounted on a bottom side of said loading plate and disposed adjacent to said through hole; and a positioning unit mounted on said mounting seat and adapted for positioning the tissue roll on said mounting seat, said positioning unit including a positioning rod having a lower pivot end that extends into said spring-receiving seat through said through hole in said loading plate of said mounting seat and that is connected pivotally to said spring-receiving seat, and an upper abutting end adapted to abut against an annular outer surface of the tissue roll, and a coil spring disposed in said spring-receiving seat and interconnecting said spring-receiving seat and said lower pivot end of said positioning rod for biasing said upper abutting end of said positioning rod to press against the annular outer surface of the tissue roll, thereby positioning the tissue roll between said positioning rod and said mounting rod; wherein said mounting seat is rotatable relative to said abutting plate about said threaded rod so as to move said threaded rod of said sucking member and said central portion of said disc body of said sucking member upwardly away from the supporting surface, thereby forming a vacant space between said central portion of said disc body of said sucking member and the supporting surface.
