Definitions

  • the invention relates to a container arrangement to store an article for dispensation according to the preamble of claim 1, and more particularly, to a container arrangement from which the article can be taken out.
  • wet tissues are known formed by a sheet-type fibrous material such as tissue paper and nonwoven fabric, and impregnated with liquid such as chemicals, skin lotion and alcohol.
  • a way of storing such wet tissues typically, such wet tissues may be stored in a package which has a body and is formed of a flexible material, or such a package may be housed within a container.
  • the package moves within the container when the package is low in wet tissues. If the package moves within the container, the opening of the package is misaligned with the opening of the container, so that the wet tissues cannot be taken out with stability.
  • a resealable container assembly comprises an inner bag-like container and an outer more rigid box-like container.
  • the inner container contains moist tissues removed through an access opening formed in the inner container and initially sealed by a first tear line.
  • the inner container also has an overlying piece of plastic film adhesively bonded to the container and extending beyond the first tear line.
  • the outer container has a pivotal lid which covers and is initially bonded to the top wall of the outer container.
  • a section of the top wall is surrounded by a second tear line, so that the wall section is torn from the top wall and adheres to the underside of the lid when the lid is first opened.
  • the present invention consists in a container arrangement as defined in appended claim 1.
  • the present invention is provided with a package and a container for housing the package.
  • the present invention can be formed as a container arrangement for storing an article which is formed by a sheet-type base material made of a fibrous material and impregnated with liquid.
  • the present invention can also be formed as a container arrangement for storing various other articles.
  • the package includes a body and a lid.
  • the body of the package is formed, for example, of a laminate film, or typically a heat-sealing film.
  • the body of the package has an article storage space in which an article is stored and an opening through which the article is taken out of the article storage space.
  • the lid of the package is formed of resin film.
  • the lid of the package has an opening-closing portion that covers the opening of the body and a proximal portion that extends from the opening-closing portion.
  • the lid of the package is bonded to a top of the body of the package by an adhesive applied to one side of the lid.
  • the opening-closing portion of the lid of the package has a larger area than the opening of the body of the package and is bonded in such a manner as to cover the opening of the body of the package. At this time, at least the opening-closing portion is bonded such that it can be repeatedly peeled off.
  • the manner of bonding the lid to the package includes the manner in which the opening-closing portion and the proximal portion are bonded by the same adhesive and the manner in which the opening-closing portion and the proximal portion are bonded by different adhesives.
  • the container includes a body and a lid.
  • the body of the container is formed, for example, of resin.
  • the body of the container has a package housing space in which the package is housed and an opening through which the article is taken out of the package housing space.
  • the lid of the container is formed, for example, of resin.
  • the lid of the container is mounted to the body of the container in such a manner that the opening of the body of the container can be opened and closed.
  • the package is housed within the package housing space in the state in which the opening-closing portion of the lid of the package is peeled off the top of the body of the package, turned over toward the proximal portion, and bonded to a back of the body of the container which faces the opening of the body of the package, by the adhesive applied to the lid of the package.
  • the opening-closing portion of the lid of the package is bonded to the back of the container by the adhesive applied to the opening-closing portion in the state in which the opening-closing portion is turned over toward the proximal portion (in the state in which the opening of the body of the package is open).
  • the lid of the package is formed by stacking a second sheet which is larger than a first sheet, on top of the first sheet.
  • the opening-closing portion of the lid of the package is formed by a laminated portion of the first and second sheets, and the proximal portion of the lid of the package is formed by a portion of the second sheet which protrudes from the first sheet.
  • one side of the lid of the package to which the adhesive is applied comprises a side of the first sheet forming the opening-closing portion which faces away from the second sheet and a side of the second sheet forming the proximal portion which faces the first sheet.

Therefore, the proximal portion of the lid of the package can be prevented from being peeled off.
  • the second sheet has a lower flexural rigidity than the first sheet.
  • the first and second sheets may be made different in thickness or may be formed of different materials.
  • a distance from a boundary between the opening-closing portion and the proximal portion of the lid of the package to a tip end of the lid of the package is set such that the tip end of the lid does not reach a position corresponding to a side of the body of the package opposite to a side having the opening when the lid is turned over on the boundary toward the proximal portion.
  • the "position corresponding to a side of the body of the package opposite to a side having the opening” means the position in which the tip end of the lid intersects an extension line extended along a side of the body of the package opposite to a side having the opening.

Therefore, when the lid 120 is formed by arranging the second sheet 122 on top of the first sheet 121, the first sheet 121 is not present under the portion of the second sheet 122 which forms the proximal portion 120A (see FIG. 9 ). In this case, the portion of the second sheet 122 which forms the proximal portion 120A is acted upon by a force under its own weight.

Further, during manufacturing of the package 100, in the state in which the second sheet 522 is arranged on top of the first sheet 521 in the lid 520, a force F is sometimes applied to the lid 520 in a direction of the hollow arrow shown in FIG. 10 .
