[ Structure of embodiment ]

(Overall Structure)

As shown in fig. 1 to 4, the household tissue paper storage container 1 includes: a container body 10 having a take-out hole 113a for taking out the household tissue P inside; an opening/closing lid 2 openably and closably connected to the container body 10 so as to cover the removal hole 113 a; and a push button portion 3 provided in the container body 10 and used for opening and closing the opening and closing lid 2, and forming a storage space S for storing the household tissue P in the household tissue storage container 1.

(tissue paper for household)

As the household tissue paper P, for example, a so-called pop-up (pop-up) type sheet is used in which small wet sheets, wet tissues, and the like are stacked in an alternately folded state and a next wet sheet, wet tissue, and the like are also pulled out when one wet sheet, wet tissue, and the like are pulled out. In addition, for example, a roll material can be used in which a wide wet sheet or wet tissue having perforation lines formed at regular intervals in the longitudinal direction is wound in a roll shape and cut along the perforation lines.

(Container body)

As shown in fig. 1 to 4, the container body 10 is formed in a substantially rectangular parallelepiped shape longer than the front-rear direction and the vertical direction in the horizontal direction as a whole, for example, and is divided into two upper and lower portions at an upper portion than a center portion in the vertical direction, and is formed by a container body upper portion 11 constituting an upper side of the container body 10 and a container body lower portion 12 constituting a lower side of the container body 10. The container body upper part 11 and the container body lower part 12 are connected to each other at the rear surface part of the container body 10 by a connecting part 13.

The container body upper portion 11, the container body lower portion 12, and the connecting portion 13 are integrally formed by injection molding (two-color molding) or the like.

As shown in fig. 1 to 4, in a state where the container body upper part 11 and the container body lower part 12 are combined and the internal storage space S is closed, the container body 10 as a whole is formed to have a size of preferably 60mm to 150mm, more preferably 80mm to 100mm, in the front-rear direction, preferably 80mm to 200mm, more preferably 145mm to 165mm, in the left-right direction, and preferably 30mm to 100mm, more preferably 50mm to 70mm, in the up-down direction.

The thickness of each surface is preferably 0.5mm to 3.0mm, more preferably 1.0mm to 2.0 mm.

The size and thickness of the resin composition provide a high molding efficiency and a strength that is not problematic in practical use.

(connecting part)

As shown in fig. 3, the household tissue paper storage container 1 is formed to be rotatable about a connecting portion 13 connecting the container body upper portion 11 and the container body lower portion 12 as a fulcrum. As a result, as shown in fig. 4, the storage space S can be exposed to the outside.

When closing the storage space S, the user may rotate the container body upper portion 11 in the opposite direction to the above.

Further, as shown in fig. 3, since the connecting portion 13 is formed thinner than the other portions of the household tissue storage container 1, the connecting portion 13 is easily bent, and the container body upper portion 11 is easily rotated with respect to the container body lower portion 12 about the connecting portion 13 as a fulcrum.

Further, although productivity is lowered, as a result of forming the container body upper portion 11 and the container body lower portion 12 separately, they can be connected to each other by a hinge or the like so as to be rotatable.

Further, by dividing the container body 10 into two parts, the container body upper part 11 and the container body lower part 12, at the upper part of the central part in the vertical direction, when the stored household tissue paper P is stored in the storage space S in a state of being covered with a predetermined package, it is possible to reduce the fear of the end seal part of the package being caught when the storage space S is closed, and it is easier to reload the household tissue paper P.

The container body 10 may be divided into two parts, i.e., the container body upper part 11 and the container body lower part 12, at positions near the center in the vertical direction.

(Upper part of the container body)

As shown in fig. 2 to 9, the container main body upper portion 11 is formed in a substantially rectangular parallelepiped shape having a substantially rectangular opening portion on the lower surface, for example, a concave portion 112 recessed downward is formed near the center of the top surface portion 111 forming the upper surface, a taking-out portion 113 is provided in the concave portion 112, and the taking-out portion 113 has a taking-out hole 113a for taking out the household tissue P in the storage space S in the center. A housing recess 115 for housing the biasing member 114 is formed at the rear end, and a button mounting portion 116 for mounting the button 3 is formed at the front end.

An annular outer edge portion 117 and an annular inner edge portion 118 are formed at a lower end portion of the lower surface of the container body upper portion 11, and the inner edge portion 118 is provided inside the outer edge portion 117 and protrudes downward from the outer edge portion 117.

A grip 119 for gripping when the storage space S is exposed is formed at a lower end portion of the front surface of the container main body upper portion 11.

(Material for upper part of Container body)

The container body upper portion 11 is formed of a hard material, i.e., a hard material. As the hard material, for example, polyethylene can be used. Polypropylene, and the like. The hardness is measured by the same method as that described for the elastic material.

Further, a portion formed of an elastic material described later and a portion formed of a hard material are desirably formed integrally by injection molding (two-color molding).

(concave part)

As shown in fig. 2, the recess 112 is formed near the center of the top surface 111 in a plan view. In fig. 2, the case where the concave portion 112 is formed in a substantially rectangular shape having a curved shape reaching the distal end portion of the container main body upper portion 11 in a plan view is illustrated, but the specific shape of the concave portion 112 is not limited thereto.

The depth of the concave portion 112 in the vertical direction is preferably 5mm to 20mm as viewed from the top surface portion 111. The size in plan view is not particularly limited as long as the take-out portion 113 can be formed therein, but is preferably 40mm to 80mm in the front-rear direction and 40mm to 120mm in the left-right direction.

(taking-out part)

The extraction portion 113 is a portion formed of an elastic material and formed near the center portion of the concave portion 112 in a plan view, a bulging portion 113b bulging in a substantially spherical shape is formed substantially at the center of the extraction portion 113, and an extraction hole 113a is provided in the bulging portion 113 b.

Further, three protruding pieces 113c protruding from the edge on the near side toward the center of the removal portion 113 are provided at the edge of the removal hole 113 a.

The take-out section 113 is desirably formed in a film shape having a thickness of 0.5mm to 2.0mm in the vertical direction, for example.

As the elastic material forming the take-out section 113, for example, a material having elasticity such as a thermoplastic elastomer such as silicone rubber, styrene-butadiene, polyester, polyethylene, or polyurethane can be used, and the hardness is desirably 20 to 90. The hardness is measured in JIS K6253 (type a durometer).

If the hardness of the elastic material is lower than the above value, the elastic material is too soft to be molded, and molding efficiency is not preferable.

Further, if the hardness of the elastic material is higher than the above value, the taking-out portion 113 having the taking-out hole 113a for taking out the household tissue P becomes hard, and resistance is excessively applied, and it becomes difficult to take out the sheets one by one, or it becomes difficult to put fingers into the housing space S when taking out the sheets, which is not preferable from both points of view.

(taking out hole)

The taking-out hole 113a is a hole formed in the center of the taking-out portion 113 in plan view and connected to the storage space S.

For example, in fig. 2, the extraction hole 113a has a shape in which each side of a triangle protrudes inward in an arc shape, and is formed in a substantially inverted Y shape in which 3 slits intersect at a gravity center point so as to connect each vertex and the gravity center point. In addition, the width of the slit extending in the front-rear direction among the 3 slits is wider than the width of the other slits.

The number of slits may be smaller or larger than that described above, and the slits may be formed by, for example, introducing two slits in a cross shape.

Since the periphery of the take-out hole 113a is formed of an elastic material, the take-out portion 113 can apply an appropriate resistance to the household tissue P, and functions to hold the next household tissue P after the household tissue P stored in the storage space S is taken out. When the household tissue paper P is a roll, the household tissue paper P can be cut by a perforation line for cutting provided in the household tissue paper P.

(Tab)

The protruding piece 113c is a portion where the household tissue P drawn out from the take-out hole 113a comes into sliding contact with, and is provided to apply an appropriate resistance to the household tissue P drawn out from the take-out hole 113 a.

Specifically, when the user opens the opening/closing cover 2 of the household tissue paper storage container 1 to take out the household tissue paper P, the user stretches his or her hand from the front surface side of the household tissue paper storage container 1 to draw out the household tissue paper P from the take-out hole 113a so that the opening/closing cover 2 in a posture standing up on the rear side of the household tissue paper storage container 1 does not interfere with the operation of taking out the household tissue paper P, and therefore the household tissue paper P drawn out from the take-out hole 113a comes into sliding contact with the projecting piece 113c on the edge on the near front side.

At this time, the projecting piece 113c projecting rearward from the front edge comes into sliding contact with the household tissue P drawn out toward the front side from the taking-out hole 113a, and the projecting piece 113c applies an appropriate resistance to the household tissue P, so that the household tissue P can be prevented from being excessively drawn out from the taking-out hole 113 a.

That is, the projecting piece 113c projecting rearward from the edge on the front side has the following function: the household tissue P drawn out to the near side from the drawing hole 113a is given an appropriate frictional force so that the next household tissue P drawn out of the household tissue P to be used next is not excessively drawn out from the drawing hole 113 a.

Then, the next piece of household tissue P from which the next piece of household tissue P to be used is drawn is held in the drawing hole 113a in a state where one end portion thereof is drawn by an appropriate length.

One end of the household tissue P held in the removal hole 113a is supported by three projecting pieces including the projecting piece 113c on the near side.

Since the extraction hole 113a for holding one end of the household tissue P is provided in the protruding portion 113b of the extraction portion 113, the distal end side of each protruding piece 113c is located higher than the extraction portion 113 that is the base surface around the protruding portion 113 b.

Further, since the one end portion of the household tissue P is supported by the protruding piece 113c at a position higher than the periphery and held in the take-out hole 113a, the household tissue P is easily pinched.

(force application Member)

As shown in fig. 2, the urging member 114 is a belt-like member formed of an elastic material. The urging member 114 has one end fixed to the rear of the recess 112 and the other end fixed to an insertion portion 23 (described later) of the opening/closing lid 2, and urges the opening/closing lid 2 in an opening direction in which the opening/closing lid 2 stands, and when the user presses the button portion 3, the opening/closing lid 2 is opened by rotating around a connecting portion with the container main body upper portion 11 at the rear as a rotation axis.

The biasing member 114 is formed in a belt shape having a width of preferably 2mm to 30mm, more preferably 8mm to 10mm, and a thickness of preferably 0.5mm to 3.0mm, more preferably 1.0mm to 2.0 mm.

The biasing member 114 is formed in such a size that it can be easily pushed up when the opening/closing cover 2 is opened, and can be easily folded and stored in the storage recess 115 when the opening/closing cover 2 is closed.

By forming the biasing member 114 in a state in which no force is applied and in a state in which it is stretched as shown in fig. 2, it is designed such that a force that attempts to return to the state shown in fig. 2 is generated when the opening/closing cover 2 is closed and the biasing member 114 is bent as shown in fig. 8. This can bias the opening/closing lid 2 to rotate rearward with respect to the container main body upper part 11 about the connecting part 13 between the opening/closing lid 2 and the container main body upper part 11 as a rotation axis.

(concave storage)

As shown in fig. 8, the housing recess 115 is a recess for housing a bent portion of the biasing member 114 when the biasing member 114 is pushed downward when the opening/closing cover 2 is closed.

As shown in fig. 2, the storage recess 115 is formed in the recess 112 so as to be recessed further downward than the recess 112, at the rear of the removal portion 113 and in the vicinity of the front of the biasing member 114.

The shape of the housing recess 115 is not particularly limited, and may be, for example, a substantially rectangular parallelepiped shape longer in the left-right direction than in the front-rear direction, as long as there is a space in which the biasing member 114 pushed and bent by the opening/closing cover 2 can be housed when the opening/closing cover 2 is closed.

(push button mounting part)

As shown in fig. 5 and 9, the button attachment portion 116 is formed of a hard material at the front end portion of the recess 112, and includes: a main body side fitting portion 1161 formed in a ring shape so as to be convex upward; a button movable portion 1162 formed to be concave downward so as to surround left and right portions and a front portion of the main body side fitting portion 1161 in a plan view; and a body side flange 1163 which is a projection formed on the front side of the outer surface of the body side fitting portion 1161.

(Main body side fitting part)

The main body side fitting portion 1161 is formed, for example, in a curved shape on the front side and a straight shape on the rear side in a plan view, and has an inner periphery slightly larger than an outer periphery of a button side fitting portion 32 (described later) formed in the button portion 3. The button portion 3 can be attached to the button attachment portion 116 by inserting the button-side fitting portion 32 from above.

(Movable part of push button)

The button movable portion 1162 is formed to have a downward concave shape so as to surround the left and right portions and the front portion of the main body side fitting portion 1161, and is formed of the same elastic material as the removing portion 113. As a result, when the distal end portion 31a of the button portion inserted into the main body side fitting portion 1161 is pressed from above, the button movable portion 1162 is elastically deformed, and the button portion 3 is inclined downward.

(Main body side flange)

As shown in fig. 5, the body-side flange 1163 is formed, for example, by a plurality of substantially rectangular projections formed at intervals in the left-right direction in front of the outer surface of the body-side fitting portion 1161, and is formed such that a button-side flange 34 described later is fitted between adjacent body-

side flanges

1163, 1163 when the button portion 3 is mounted on the button mounting portion 116.

The main body side fitting portion 1161, the button movable portion 1162, and the main body side flange 1163 are integrally formed by injection molding (two-color molding) or the like.

(outer edge part, inner edge part)

As shown in fig. 4 to 6, the outer edge 117 is annular and is formed at the lower end of the container main body upper portion 11.

As shown in fig. 4 to 6, the inner edge portion 118 is formed in an annular shape, is provided inside the outer edge portion 117 in the lower end portion of the container main body upper portion 11, and protrudes downward from the outer edge portion 117, and when the housing space S is closed, the inner edge portion 118 enters a groove portion 121 of the container main body lower portion 12 described later.

(handle part)

For example, as shown in fig. 1 to 9, the handle portion 119 is formed to protrude from the front surface of the container body upper portion 11 integrally with the container body upper portion 11 in an arch shape at the center of the front surface, and a gap a for allowing a finger to be hooked is formed between the handle portion and the front surface. Two locking portions 1191 are provided on an inner surface of the grip 119 facing the front surface. When the housing space S is exposed, the handle portion 119 is gripped, and the container body upper portion 11 is rotated about the connecting portion 13 as a fulcrum.

As shown in fig. 8 and 9, the intersection between the front surface of the container body upper portion 11 and the inner surface of the grip portion 119 has an R-shape and is formed with rounded corners.

The shape of the handle 119 may be any shape as long as it protrudes from the front surface of the container main body upper portion 11 with a gap a therebetween, instead of protruding in an arch shape.

In a state where the container body upper part 11 and the container body lower part 12 are engaged with each other, the handle part 119 overlaps with an engaging projection 123 (described later) provided on the container body lower part 12 in the front-rear direction. Thus, the engaging projection 123 has a structure that is not visible from the front.

(engaging part)

As shown in fig. 4 and 6 to 9, the two locking portions 1191 are provided on the inner surface of the grip portion 119 at a predetermined interval in the left-right direction, and are formed to engage with the engaging projections 123 when the housing space S is closed, thereby maintaining the closed state.

The interval between the two locking portions 1191 may be arbitrarily set, but may be larger than the width of the fingers of a typical user. Specifically, the separation is preferably 5mm to 25mm, and more preferably 18mm to 25 mm.

The number of the locking portions 1191 is not limited to two, and may be provided at positions separated from the center portion of the inner surface of the grip portion 119 in the left-right direction to the left and right, and may be, for example, two (four in total) provided on the left and right.

(lower part of container body)

As shown in fig. 4, the container main body lower portion 12 is formed in a substantially rectangular parallelepiped shape having a substantially rectangular opening on the upper surface, and an annular groove portion 121 is formed at the upper end portion.

Further, a slip prevention portion 122 is formed at the bottom portion of the upper surface of the container body lower portion 12, and the slip prevention portion 122 is formed to prevent slip when the household tissue P accommodated in the accommodation space S is taken out from the take-out hole 113 a.

An engaging projection 123 projecting forward is formed integrally with the container body lower portion 12 in the vicinity of the center of the upper end portion of the front surface of the container body lower portion 12.

(Material of lower part of Container body)

The container main body lower portion 12 is formed of a hard material similar to that used for the container main body upper portion 11.

(groove part)

As shown in fig. 4, the recessed groove 121 is formed in an annular shape, for example, at the upper end of the container body lower portion 12 so that the inner edge portion 118 of the container body upper portion 11 is engaged with the container body lower portion when the storage space S is closed, and includes an outer peripheral wall portion 1211 and an inner peripheral wall portion 1212.

(outer peripheral wall part, inner peripheral wall part)

The outer peripheral wall 1211 is formed as an outer peripheral wall surface of the container main body lower portion 12 and abuts against the outer edge portion 117 of the container main body upper portion 11 when the storage space S is closed.

The inner peripheral wall portion 1212 is formed as an inner peripheral wall surface of the container body lower portion 12, protrudes upward from the outer peripheral wall portion 1211, and includes a first guide portion 1212a provided at both end portions in the left-right direction of the rear surface and a plurality of second guide portions 1212b provided in the left-right direction of the rear surface, as shown in fig. 4.

The inner edge portion 118 of the container main body upper portion 11 is in sliding contact with the outer circumferential wall portion 1211 and the inner circumferential wall portion 1212, whereby the sealing property of the storage space S can be maintained.

(first guide section. second guide section)

As shown in fig. 4, the first guide portions 1212a are provided at both ends in the left-right direction of the rear surface of the container body lower portion 12 so as to extend toward the left surface or the right surface, respectively, and have a height in the up-down direction higher than the outer peripheral wall portion 1211 and the second guide portions 1212 b.

The second guide portions 1212b are formed in a wave shape, and a plurality of second guide portions are provided along the left-right direction on the rear surface of the container body lower portion 12, and have a height in the up-down direction higher than the outer peripheral wall portion 1211 but lower than the first guide portions 1212 a.

(non-slip part)

The anti-slip portion 122 is formed of an elastic material surrounded by a hard material at the bottom of the container main body lower portion 12, and has a shape in which, for example, as shown in fig. 4, two straight lines connecting opposite vertices of a rectangle intersect at a center of gravity point, and two corners formed so as to spread in the left-right direction out of the corners formed by the two straight lines describe an arc.

In addition, the four ends of the two straight lines are rounded, and as shown in fig. 7, only the elastic material of the rounded portions comes into contact with the mounting surface and functions as a mounting portion 1221.

(engaging projection)

As shown in fig. 4 and 6, the engaging projection 123 is a projection projecting forward integrally with the container body lower portion 12 at a substantially central portion of the upper end portion of the front surface of the container body lower portion 12, and two locking portions 1191 are engaged with each other when the storage space S is closed.

The engaging projection 123 is formed to have a length in the left-right direction longer than the sum of the distance between the two locking portions 1191 and the length in the left-right direction of each of the two locking portions 1191.

(opening and closing lid)

As shown in fig. 1 to 3 and 5, the opening/closing cover 2 is a flat, curved, substantially rectangular member rotatably connected to the rear of the recess 112, and includes an opening/closing cover side locking portion 21 on the front side in a closed state, and an opening/closing cover side closing ring portion 22 and an insertion portion 23 into which the force applying member 114 is inserted on the lower surface side.

The opening/closing lid 2 is formed so that its shape in plan view when closed is substantially the same as the shape of the recess 112 of the container main body upper portion 11 except for the portion provided with the push button portion 3 in plan view, and so that it can be fitted into the recess 112 when closed and is flush with the top surface portion 111.

(Material of opening/closing cover)

As shown in fig. 1 to 3 and 5, the entire opening/closing lid 2 is made of a hard material similar to that used for the container body 10.

(side stop part of opening/closing cover)

As shown in fig. 2, 3, and 5, the opening/closing cover side locking portion 21 is, for example, a claw-shaped portion protruding forward of the opening/closing cover 2. The opening/closing lid 2 is locked in a closed state by being engaged with a button-side locking portion 33 formed in the button portion 3. When the user presses the button portion 3, the engagement between the open/close cover-side locking portion 21 and the button-side locking portion 33 is released, and the open/close cover 2 is opened by the biasing force generated by the biasing member 114.

The shape of the opening/closing cover side locking portion 21 is not limited to the claw shape shown in fig. 2, 3, and 5, and any shape may be used as long as the opening/closing cover 2 is locked in a closed state by being engaged with the button side locking portion 33 and the engagement between the opening/closing cover side locking portion 21 and the button side locking portion 33 is released when the user presses the button 3.

(side sealing ring of opening/closing cover)

As shown in fig. 2 and 5, the opening/closing cover side closing ring portion 22 protrudes downward in a ring shape when the opening/closing cover 2 is closed, and as shown in fig. 5 and 7, the inner peripheral side surface thereof is formed in a substantially central portion on the lower surface side so as to be in contact with the outer periphery of the take-out portion 113 formed in the container main body upper portion 11.

(insert part)

As shown in fig. 2 and 5, the insertion portion 23 is fixed to the rear end of the opening/closing cover 2 with the urging member 114 inserted thereinto.

(push button part)

As shown in fig. 10, the push button portion 3 has an upper surface portion 31 forming an upper surface, a push button side engaging portion 32 protruding downward from the upper surface portion 31, a push button side locking portion 33 with which the opening/closing lid side locking portion 21 is engaged, and a push button side flange 34 which is engaged with the main body side flange 1163 when the push button portion 3 is attached, and as shown in fig. 9, the opening/closing lid 2 is locked in a closed state by inserting the opening/closing lid side locking portion 21 into the push button side locking portion 33, and the locking of the opening/closing lid side locking portion 21 is released when the user presses the push button portion 3, and the opening/closing lid 2 is opened.

The button portion 3 is formed as a separate member independently of a hard material similar to that used for the container body 10, and then fixed to the button attachment portion 116.

As described above, the tissue paper container 1 for home use is preferably integrally formed by injection molding (two-color molding) in its entirety except for the opening/closing lid 2 and the button portion 3.

(Upper surface part)

As shown in fig. 1 and 8 to 10, the upper surface portion 31 is a portion forming the upper surface of the button portion 3, and is formed, for example, in a shape having a straight line on the rear side and an arc on the front side in a plan view, substantially the same shape as the shape in a plan view in the vicinity of the front end portion of the recess portion 112 except for the vicinity of the distal end portion 31a, and the distal end portion 31a is formed to protrude forward from the recess portion 112.

The size of the upper surface portion 31 is determined according to the size of the portion of the concave portion 112 not covered with the opening/closing cover 2, but it is desirable that the longest portion in the front-rear direction has a length of 10mm to 30mm and the longest portion in the left-right direction has a length of 30mm to 100 mm.

A gap b is formed between the distal end portion 31a of the upper surface portion 31 and the container body upper portion 11, and the distal end portion 31a and the proximal end portion 31b are formed to be inclined downward at different angles with respect to the upper surface (horizontal) of the container body upper portion 11.

At this time, the inclination angle of the distal end portion 31a is formed larger than that of the proximal end portion 31 b. Specifically, the inclination angle of the proximal portion 31b is preferably 6 to 8 degrees, and the inclination angle of the distal portion 31a is preferably 8 to 10 degrees.

Further, the base end portion 31b of the button portion may be parallel to the container main body upper portion 11 and only the distal end portion 31a may be inclined downward, or may be inclined at the same angle from the base end portion 31b to the distal end portion 31 a.

(push button side fitting part)

The button-side fitting portion 32 is formed, for example, in a ring shape protruding downward from the upper surface portion 31 so as to be curved on the front side in a bottom view and having a rear side in a straight line shape, and is formed so that the outer periphery thereof is slightly smaller than the inner periphery of the above-described main body-side fitting portion 1161, and is configured to be able to attach the button portion 3 to the button attachment portion 116 by being inserted into the main body-side fitting portion 1161 from above.

The inner periphery may be the same as or slightly larger than the outer periphery of the main body side fitting portion 1161, and the button portion 3 may be attached to the button attachment portion 116 by inserting the main body side fitting portion 1161 from below.

(push button side stop part)

The button-side locking portion 33 is a hole formed at the rear of the button portion 3, and is formed to lock the opening/closing cover 2 in a closed state by inserting and engaging the opening/closing cover-side locking portion 21 formed in the opening/closing cover 2 into the inside, and when the user presses the button portion 3, the opening/closing cover-side locking portion 21 is inserted and removed, and the opening/closing cover 2 is opened by the urging force generated by the urging member 114.

The shape of the button-side locking portion 33 is not limited to the hole shown in the drawing, and may be any shape as long as it locks the opening/closing cover 2 in a closed state and when the user presses the button portion 3, the engagement between the button-side locking portion 33 and the opening/closing cover-side locking portion 21 is released, and may be a claw portion with which the opening/closing cover-side locking portion 21 is engaged, for example.

(button side flange)

As shown in fig. 10, the button-side flange 34 is formed as a plurality of substantially rectangular projections formed at intervals in the left-right direction so as to project downward from the upper surface portion 31 in front of the button-side fitting portion 32, for example, and is formed so that when the button portion 3 is inserted into the main body-side fitting portion 1161, the button-side flange 34 is inserted between the adjacent main body-

side flanges

1163, 1163 and fitted thereto.

The upper surface portion 31, the button-side fitting portion 32, the button-side locking portion 33, and the button-side flange 34 are integrally formed by injection molding (two-color molding) or the like.

[ Effect of the embodiment ]

Hereinafter, the main effects obtained by the present embodiment will be described.

(Main body side flange, button side flange)

According to the present embodiment, as shown in fig. 5 and 10, the body side flange 1163, which is a projection formed on the front side of the outer surface of the body side fitting portion 1161, and the button side flange 34, which is a projection projecting downward from the upper surface portion 31 in front of the button side fitting portion 32, are formed, and when the button portion 3 is mounted to the button mounting portion 116, the button side flange 34 is inserted between the adjacent

body side flanges

1163, 1163 and fitted. Therefore, even when the user pushes up the attached button 3 by mistake, the protrusion, i.e., the body-side flange 1163 and the button-side flange 34 are hooked together, and the button 3 is not easily detached.

Further, since the plurality of body-side flanges 1163 and the button-side flange 34 are formed, the force for pushing up the button part 3 is distributed to the plurality of fitting portions of the body-side flange 1163 and the button-side flange 34, and the button part 3 can be prevented from falling off.

Further, the body-side flange 1163 and the button-side flange 34 are simple projections, and need not be taken out with much effort during molding, and therefore, it is not necessary to know the shape and material in consideration of damage due to deformation.

(Overall Structure)

Further, since the container body 10 is composed of the container body upper portion 11 and the container body lower portion 12, which are connected to each other at the rear surface by the connecting portion 13, the container body upper portion 11 can be rotated with the rear end portion as a fulcrum to expose the storage space S and the household tissue P can be reloaded while the household tissue storage container 1 is placed on the placement surface.

Therefore, when the household tissue paper P is reloaded, the reloading operation can be more easily performed while the tissue paper P is placed on the placement surface.

Further, the container body upper portion 11, the container body lower portion 12, and the connecting portion 13 are integrally formed by injection molding (two-color molding) or the like, and therefore, the household tissue paper storage container 1 is excellent in manufacturing efficiency.

(push button parts, etc.)

Further, since the button portion 3 is provided and the inclination angle of the distal end portion 31a is formed larger than that of the proximal end portion 31b, it is difficult to insert a finger into the gap b between the button portion 3 and the container main body upper portion 11, and it is possible to prevent the button portion 3 from being erroneously gripped and rotated as the handle portion 119 at the time of reloading the household tissue P.

The button portion 3 is attached to the button attachment portion 116 surrounded by the button movable portion 1162 protruding downward. Accordingly, when the user presses the upper surface portion 31 of the button portion 3 from above in a state where the opening/closing lid 2 is closed, the button movable portion 1162 is deformed downward regardless of the pressed position, and the button portion 3 sinks downward.

At this time, since the opening/closing lid side locking portion 21 of the opening/closing lid 2 is inserted into the button side locking portion 33 of the button portion 3, when the button portion 3 is lowered downward, the opening/closing lid 2 is pushed downward in accordance with the depression, but the opening/closing lid 2 is biased upward by the biasing member 114, and the more the opening/closing lid 2 is lowered downward, the stronger the biasing force becomes.

Therefore, when the push button portion 3 is pushed in to some extent, the opening/closing lid 2 sinks accordingly, and the upward urging force to the opening/closing lid 2 becomes strong, but since the opening/closing lid 2 and the push button portion 3 are engaged only by the opening/closing lid side engaging portion 21 and the push button side engaging portion 33, when the urging force to the opening/closing lid 2 becomes strong, the engagement is released, and the opening/closing lid 2 is opened.

Therefore, according to the present embodiment, the opening/closing lid 2 can be easily opened regardless of the portion of the upper surface of the push button portion 3.

Further, the container body upper portion 11 includes the button mounting portion 116 having the body side fitting portion 1161, and thus the button portion 3 can be easily and stably fixed.

(handle part)

Further, since the handle portion 119 is provided in the container main body upper portion 11, and the inner peripheral side of the handle portion 119 is R-formed into a curved surface, the handle portion 119 is easily expanded outward as compared with a case where the inner peripheral side is an acute angle, and the engagement between the locking portion 1191 and the engagement projection 123 is easily released, so that the storage space S can be easily exposed.

In a state where the container body upper part 11 is engaged with the container body lower part 12, the handle part 119 overlaps with an engaging projection 123 provided on the container body lower part 12 in the front-rear direction. Thus, the engaging projection 123 has a structure that is not visible from the front, and therefore the appearance is also good.

Further, since the locking portion 1191 is provided in the handle portion 119, the user can easily release the engagement between the container body upper portion 11 and the container body lower portion 12 by hooking the finger to the gap a between the front surface of the container body upper portion 11 and the handle portion 119, and expose the storage space S.

In particular, since the plurality of locking portions 1191 are provided at positions separated in the left-right direction from the center portion in the left-right direction of the inner surface of the handle portion 119, when fingers are inserted near the center of the handle portion 119, the locking portions 1191 do not become an obstacle, and the engagement between the container body upper portion 11 and the container body lower portion 12 can be released more easily to expose the storage space S.

Further, since the two locking portions 1191 are formed on the inner surface of the handle portion 119 and the interval between the two locking portions 1191 is set to be wider than the finger width, when the container body upper portion 11 is rotated, the fingers can easily enter between the two locking portions 1191, the container body upper portion 11 can be easily rotated, and the storage space S can be easily exposed.

Since the length of the engaging protrusion 123 in the left-right direction is longer than the length obtained by adding the length of the two locking portions 1191 in the left-right direction to the distance between the two locking portions 1191 and the two locking portions 1191 are engaged with one engaging protrusion 123, the strength is improved compared to the case where the engaging protrusions 123 are provided independently for the respective locking portions 1191, and the locking portions 1191 are engaged more stably.

(taking out hole)

Since the next piece of household tissue paper P drawn out from the take-out hole 113a is held in the take-out hole 113a with one end thereof drawn out by an appropriate length, the household tissue paper P held in the take-out hole 113a does not become an obstacle when the open-close cover 2 is closed.

Further, since the household tissue P held in the dispensing hole 113a is not sandwiched by the opening/closing cover 2, the problem that the wet household tissue P (wet tissue paper or the like) is sandwiched by the opening/closing cover 2 and protrudes to the outside of the container body 10 and is dried does not occur.

In the case of the household tissue paper container 1 provided with the take-out hole 113a, the household tissue paper P can be appropriately taken out and used, and one end of the next piece of household tissue paper P from which the household tissue paper P to be used and taken out is taken out can be held in the take-out hole 113a so as not to hinder the closing of the opening and closing cover 2.

Further, by holding the household tissue P, which is drawn out by an appropriate length, in the drawing hole 113a, the household tissue P stored in the storage space S can be suitably repeatedly drawn out and used.

Further, the width of only the slit extending in the front-rear direction out of the three slits of the take-out hole 113a is wider than the other slits, and thus the support portions of the one end portion of the household tissue P held in the take-out hole 113a by the two projecting pieces 113c other than the near side are dispersed, and the one end portion of the household tissue P can be supported by the take-out hole 113a more stably.

Further, since the two other slits extending toward the front side are relatively narrow, when the household tissue P is taken out, one end portion can be prevented from entering the slit.

(urging member)

Further, according to the household tissue paper storage container 1 of the present embodiment, the opening/closing lid 2 can be biased in the opening direction only by providing the biasing member 114 with an elastic material in the container body upper portion 11.

On the other hand, for example, in the case of adopting a structure in which a spring-like urging member standing upward is provided and the urging member is connected to the opening/closing cover 2, the spring-like urging member is repeatedly folded and unfolded every time the opening/closing cover 2 is opened and closed, and therefore, such a spring-like portion is easily deteriorated and the urging force to the opening/closing cover 2 is easily weakened at an early stage. If the urging force acting on the opening/closing cover 2 is weakened to some extent, the opening/closing cover 2 cannot be opened by a single touch.

According to the present embodiment, since the biasing member 114 formed of an elastic material is pressed by the opening/closing cover 2 to generate the biasing force to the opening/closing cover 2, the amount of deformation of the portion formed of the elastic material is small, and the portion is not easily degraded, so that the biasing force to the opening/closing cover 2 is not easily weakened.

Further, by providing the housing concave portion 115 in the concave portion 112, it is possible to prevent an excessive pressure from being applied to a contact portion of the urging member 114, which is in contact with the concave portion 112, and to reduce a possibility of breakage of the urging member 114.

Further, since the biasing member 114 is formed on the rear side of the container body 10 near the pivot of the rotation of the opening/closing lid 2, the biasing force to the opening/closing lid 2 is increased, and the opening/closing lid 2 is easily opened.

(closure of the container)

When the housing space S is closed, the inner edge portion 118 of the container body upper portion 11 is fitted into the groove portion 121 of the container body lower portion 12, whereby even when pressure is applied to the household tissue housing container 1 in the front-rear direction and the left-right direction, the housing space S is not easily exposed, the sealing can be ensured, and the sealing performance is excellent.

In addition, when the storage space S is closed, the inner edge portion 118 of the container body upper portion 11 is guided to the groove portion 121 while being kept in the abutting state by the first guide portion 1212a and the second guide portion 1212b provided in the container body lower portion 12, and the storage space S can be more reliably closed.

In particular, since the two first guide portions 1212a are higher in height in the vertical direction than the second guide portions 1212b, even if the container body upper portion 11 is slightly twisted with respect to the container body lower portion 12 when the storage space S is closed, the track can be corrected by being guided by the higher first guide portions 1212a, and therefore, the reliability of closing the storage space S can be further improved.

Further, the two first guide portions 1212a are provided at both left and right end portions of the rear surface to be extended toward the left surface or the right surface, respectively, whereby the above-described effects can be further enhanced.

Further, since the second guide portions 1212b are provided in a wave shape, contact resistance can be reduced and opening and closing operations can be performed more smoothly as compared with a configuration in which the second guide portions 1212b are provided over the entire left-right direction.

(other structures)

Further, since the slip-preventing portion 122 is provided on the upper surface of the container main body lower portion 12, when the household tissue P is taken out from the taking-out hole 113a, the household tissue P in the housing space S is less likely to move and loosen, and the household tissue P can be taken out stably.

Further, a part forming the slip-preventing portion 122 comes into contact with the mounting surface and functions as the mounting portion 1221, whereby the stability of the household tissue paper storage container 1 when mounted on the mounting surface can be improved.

Further, when the opening/closing cover 2 is closed, the opening/closing cover side closing ring portion 22 comes into contact with the outer periphery of the take-out portion 113, whereby the airtightness of the storage space S can be improved.

[ modified examples ]

A modification of the above embodiment will be described below.

(Main body side flange, button side flange)

In the above embodiment, as shown in fig. 5 and 10, the main body side flange 1163 and the button side flange 34 are both substantially rectangular, but the present invention is not limited to this, and as shown in fig. 11, both may be formed in a substantially trapezoidal shape. Thus, since the portion of the main body side flange 1163 in contact with the button side flange 34 is inclined in a plan view, the button portion 3 is further made less likely to fall off with respect to the upward pushing from the left-right direction.

In fig. 5 and 10, the case where both the contact surfaces of the body-side flange 1163 and the button-side flange 34 are flat is illustrated, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the contact surfaces may be formed in a wave shape as illustrated in fig. 12. This increases the contact between the body-side flange 1163 and the button-side flange 34, and increases the strength against push-up.

The wave shape is not limited to a curved wave shape as shown in fig. 12, and may be a linear wave shape. In addition, the sizes of the waves need not be the same.

The shape of the body-side flange 1163 and the button-side flange 34 may be any shape as long as the button-side flange 34 is inserted between the adjacent body-side flanges 1163 and fitted to each other when the button portion 3 is mounted to the button mounting portion 116.

(handle part)

The handle portion 119 may be integrally formed with the other portion of the container main body upper portion 11, or may be formed separately and mounted later.

(engaging projection)

The number of the engaging projections 123 is not necessarily one, and two engaging portions 1191 may be provided.

(guide part)

The guide portion may be configured only as the first guide portion 1212a or only as the second guide portion 1212 b.

The first guide portion 1212a may not necessarily be provided to be elongated to the left surface or the right surface.

The second guide portions 1212b may not have a wave shape but may be provided at the same height in the left-right direction.

(connecting part)

In the above description, the case where the connecting portion 13 is formed only at one position near the center portion in the left-right direction of the household tissue storage container 1 has been described, but the configuration of the connecting portion 13 is not limited to this.

For example, the connecting portions 13A and 13A may be formed on the left and right sides of the household tissue storage container 1A. In this case, when the storage space SA is exposed, the connecting portion 13A is not easily twisted, so that the stability is improved, and the work of reclosing the household tissue paper storage container 1A is easily performed.

Further, the connecting portion 13B covering the entire rear surface side of the household tissue storage container 1B may be used. In this case, in a state where the storage space S is closed, the entire rear surface side of the contact portion between the container body upper portion 11 and the container body lower portion 12 of the household tissue storage container 1B is covered, and therefore, the airtightness of the storage space S can be further improved.

In addition, the detailed structure of the household tissue paper storage container 1 can be appropriately modified within a range not departing from the gist of the present invention.
