Definitions

  • the present invention relates generally to a dispensing container for containing and dispensing wet sheets.
  • a wet sheet container 10 which comprises a container body A containing therein a stack of wet sheets 30 cylindrically rolled up and a cap C including a lid B attached thereto so as to be repetitively openable and closable, as shown in a Fig. 11(a) of the accompanying drawings (e.g., from PTL 1).
  • the lid B is opened and, distal ends of the individual wet sheets 30 is pinched with a user's fingers and the wet sheets 30 are successively pulled out one by one through an opening D of the cap C.
  • the opening D must be dimensioned as small as possible to improve the seal performance essential for the container body A. As a disadvantageous consequence, it becomes difficult to pull out the wet sheets 30 through the opening D dimensioned small in this manner.
  • a wet sheet pack 20 characterized in that a laminate film having a high permeation resistance is used to make the individual pack of wet sheets as illustrated by Fig. 12(a) of the accompanying drawings has been proposed (e.g., disclosed in PTL 2).
  • wet sheet pack 20 when it is desired to use wet sheets 30, a film sheet 23 sealing an opening 21 is peeled off from the pack, the wet sheets 30 is pulled out and then the opening 21 is sealed again with the film sheet 23 so that the remaining wet sheets 30 may be perfectly sealed to protect them against drying.
  • this wet sheet pack 20 of prior art is based on a relatively simple construction in which the film sheet 21 is temporarily bonded to the pack 20 by the intermediary of a adhesive layer 22 formed around the opening 21 and repetitive operations of unsealing and sealing several times may reduce adhesive force of the adhesive layer 22. Consequently, the film sheet 23 to seal the opening 21 may be unintentionally peeled off from the pack 20 and the desired seal performance essential for the film sheet 23 may be unacceptably deteriorated.
  • the cap C covers merely a part of the pack 20 inclusive of the opening as will be apparent from Fig. 13(b) and there is an anxiety that a clearance may be left between the pack 20 including the laminate film and the cap C made of thermoplastic resin.
  • a clearance may be often left between the lid B and the cap C and alcohol or the other may evaporate trough the clearance.
  • the present invention relates to a dispensing container for a stack of wet sheets.
  • One object of the present invention is to provide the container improved to have a sufficiently high seal performance essential to prevent the wet sheets impregnated with high volatile liquid such as alcohol from drying and thereby to store the wet sheets in useful condition over a long period.
  • Another object of the present is to provide the container improved to facilitate not only the individual wet sheets to be pulled out but also to facilitate the empty pack to be exchanged with a fresh pack so that the usability as well as the eco-friendliness may be improved.
  • a further object of the present invention is to provide such container formed with a hook for storage so that not only the usability but also the display effect may be improved.
  • a dispensing container for containing and dispensing of wet sheets, comprising the following features:
  • a container body and movable lid being rigid, the container body having one of a first opposed surface and a second opposed surface and said lid having the other of said first opposed surface and said second opposed surface, wherein the first opposed surface is one of mutually opposed surfaces of the container body and the lid when the lid is closed and the second opposed surface is the other of the opposed surfaces;
  • the container body is formed from plural walls and has an opening defined on the first opposed surface which is one of the walls, for pulling out the wet sheets through the opening;
  • the lid is adapted to seal and unseal the opening and includes a proximal end portion hinged to the container body and a distal end portion; and engaging means are provided on the container body and the lid for disengageably engaging the lid to the container body.
  • the container further comprises: an annular groove formed in a zone encircling the opening on the first opposed surface; an annular packing being elastically deformable and fixedly inserted in the groove and including a distal end surface having a corner edge; and an annular first ridge integrally formed on the second opposed surface and including a distal end to deform the corner edge of the distal end surface of the packing by pressure contact against the corner edge when said lid is closed, to tightly seal the opening.
  • the corner edge of the distal end surface of the packing which is a part of the packing, is readily deformable by pressure contact of the first ridge against the corner edge of the distal end surface of the packing to seal the opening. Consequently, the invention ensures that the seal performance essential for the container body and thereby the wet sheets are reliably protected against drying for a long period.
