Definitions
- the present invention relates to a container for storing a storage article for dispensation and to a container package including the container and the storage article stored therein.
- Japanese non-examined laid-open Patent Publication No. 2010-13144 discloses a container in which wet tissues are stored.
- a body of the container is formed of heat-sealing film.
- a lid of the container is bonded to the body and covers an opening of the body.
- the lid is bonded to the body by an adhesive such that it can be repeatedly peeled.
- Patent Document 1 Japanese laid-open Patent Publication No. 2010-13144
- a container in order to solve the above-described problem, according to a preferred aspect of the present invention, includes a body which is formed of a sheet member having an opening open to outside and has a storage space inside in communication with the opening, and a lid which covers the opening and can open and close the opening.
- the container is configured such that a storage article stored in the storage space can be taken out through the opening.
- the body extends along a first direction.
- the body has a holding part which is formed for holding the body in a region of one end of the body in the first direction.
- the lid has a fixed portion which is fixedly bonded to the body and a peelable portion which is formed contiguously to the fixed portion and peelably bonded to the body by a first adhesive.
- the peelable portion contiguously extends from the fixed portion toward the one end of the body in the first direction.
- the body has a first region to which the fixed portion is fixedly bonded, a second region to which the peelable portion is bonded by the first adhesive, and a third region which is entirely surrounded by the first and second regions. Further, the opening is formed in the third region.
- the opening is formed in the third region which is surrounded by the first region in which the lid is not peeled off and fixedly bonded and the second region in which the lid can be peeled off.
- the lid is not bonded to a part of the third region between the opening and the first region by the first adhesive. Therefore, compared to a construction in which the lid is bonded to the part of the third region between the opening and the first region by the first adhesive, application of the tensile stress to the opening can be prevented. As a result, deformation of the opening can be prevented.
- adhesion between the lid and the body is improved when the opening is covered with the lid again after the lid is peeled.
- the part of the third region located between the opening and the first region is provided as an opening non-formation region.
- the second region is arranged such that a line connecting the holding part and any point of the second region does not pass through the opening.
- tensile stress generated by the force of peeling the lid linearly acts between the holding part and the peeling region. Therefore, if the opening is formed between the holding part and the peeling region, the opening may be deformed by the tensile stress. According to this embodiment, however, the opening is not formed on a line connecting the holding part and any point of the second region. Therefore, the opening can be prevented from being deformed by the tensile stress which is generated by the force of peeling the peelable portion.
- the holding part is formed as a hanging part for hanging the body.
- the hanging part is preferably a through hole formed through the body, but it may be a hook provided on the body.
- the hanging part has enough strength to be prevented from being destroyed when the peelable portion is peeled off the hanging body.
- the hanging part has a section modulus large enough to be prevented from being destroyed by the force which is generated when the peelable portion is peeled off the body, and by the force which acts upon the hanging part under the weight of the container having a storage article stored therein.
- the manner of "destroying" the holding part includes not only the manner of making the holding part unable to perform the function of holding the body, but the manner of causing the holding part to irreversibly (plastically) deform.
- the container can be hung and used in that state. Therefore, a user does not have to hold the body when peeling the lid off the body. In other words, the user can peel the lid with one hand. Thus, the user's operation can be made simpler.
- an outline of the peelable portion is defined by a connecting region formed contiguously to the fixed portion and an outer edge region of the peelable portion other than the connecting region, and the adhesive is applied only to the outer edge region.
- the lid has a holding portion to be held by users.
- the holding portion is formed contiguously to the peelable portion on an end of the peelable portion facing away from the fixed portion in the first direction.
- the user can hold the holding portion and easily peel the lid off the body sheet.
- the user's operation can be made easier.
- the third region has the opening and a bonding non-allowed region is provided not to allow the bonding with the peeleable portion.
- the third region has the opening and is peelably bonded to the peelable portion by a second adhesive which requires less power to peel off the peelable portion than the first adhesive.
- the sealability to seal the opening can be improved.
- the third region is bonded by the second adhesive which requires less power to peel off the peelable portion than the first adhesive, so that, when the lid is peeled, the tensile stress is mainly generated between the holding part and the first region which requires more power to peel off. Therefore, the second adhesive can prevent deformation of the opening, while improving the sealability to seal the opening.
- a container package which includes a container and a storage article.
- the container includes a body which is formed of a sheet member having an opening open to outside and has a storage space inside in communication with the opening, and a lid which covers the opening and can open and close the opening.
- the storage article is stored in the storage space and can be taken out through the opening.
- the body extends along a first direction.
- the body has a holding part which is formed for holding the body in a region of one end of the body in the first direction.
- the lid has a fixed portion which is fixedly bonded to the body and a peelable portion which is formed contiguously to the fixed portion and peelably bonded to the body.
- the peelable portion contiguously extends from the fixed portion toward the one end of the body in the first direction.
- the body has a first region to which the fixed portion is fixedly bonded, a second region to which the peelable portion is bonded by the first adhesive, and a third region which is entirely surrounded by the first and second regions, and the opening is formed in the third region.
- the opening is formed in the third region which is surrounded by the first region in which the lid is not peeled off and fixedly bonded and the second region in which the lid can be peeled off.
- the lid is not bonded to a part of the third region between the opening and the first region by the first adhesive. Therefore, compared to a construction in which the lid is bonded to the part of the third region between the opening and the first region by the first adhesive, application of the tensile stress to the opening can be prevented. As a result, deformation of the opening can be prevented.
- adhesion between the lid and the body is improved when the opening is covered with the lid again after the lid is peeled.
- the part of the third region located between the opening and the first region is provided as an opening non-formation region.
- the second region is arranged such that a line connecting the holding part and any point of the second region does not pass through the opening.
- tensile stress generated by the force of peeling the lid linearly acts between the holding part and the peeling region. Therefore, if the opening is formed between the holding part and the peeling region, the opening may be deformed by the tensile stress. According to this embodiment, however, the opening is not formed on a line connecting the holding part and any point of the second region. Therefore, the opening can be prevented from being deformed by the tensile stress which is generated by the force of peeling the peelable portion.
- the holding part is formed as a hanging part for hanging the body.
- the third region has the opening and is peelably bonded to the peelable portion by a second adhesive which requires less power to peel off the peelable portion than the first adhesive.
- the opening can be prevented from being deformed by the weight of the storage article when the body is hung and the lid is peeled off the body.
- an improved technique relating to adhesion of a lid to a body is provided in a container.

- the peeling region 113b includes a first peeling region 113b1 and a second peeling region 113b2.
- the first peeling region 113b1 is a region surrounded by tangents L1, L2 drawn through the hang hole 114 to the opening 112 and an outline corresponding to an outer edge of the opening-closing portion 120b.
- the second peeling region 113b2 is a region located on the side of the opening 112 facing the hang hole 114, or a region surrounded by the tangents L1, L2, the opening 112 and the outline corresponding to the outer edge of the opening-closing portion 120b.
- an opening formation region 113c is formed to be surrounded by the fixing region 113a and the peeling region 113b.
- the opening 112 is provided in the opening formation region 113c.
- the fixing region 113a, the peeling region 113b and the opening formation region 113c are features that correspond to the "first region", the "second region” and the "third region", respectively, according to this invention.
- the user In order to take out a wet tissue 130 from the wet-tissue storage space 110H, the user holds the tab portion 120c of the lid 120 and peels the opening-closing portion 120b off the top of the body 110, so that the opening-closing portion 120b is peeled off the body 110 and the opening 112 is opened.
- the opening-closing portion 120b is normally bonded to the top of the body 110 in order to prevent the wet tissues 130 from drying.
- the lateral seal part 111a is kept in a fixed position and the tab portion 120c of the lid 120 is picked and pulled up by the user. Specifically, the tab portion 120c is pulled in a direction of arrow A toward the lateral seal part 111b.
- the opening-closing portion 120b of the lid 120 is peeled off the body 110, so that the opening 112 is exposed and the wet tissues 130 can be taken out through the exposed opening 112.
- the body 110 may be hung with a hanging string or rope 200 through the hang hole 114.
- the hang hole 114 is a feature that corresponds to the "holding part", the "hanging part” and the "through hole” according to this invention.
- the diameter of the hang hole 114 and the strength of the lateral seal part 111a around the hang hole 114 are set such that the hang hole 114 is prevented from being destroyed when the body 110 is hung and the lid 120 is peeled.
- the diameter of the hang hole 114 and the section modulus of the lateral seal part 111a are set such that the hang hole 114 is prevented from being destroyed by tensile stress which is generated on the heat-sealing film by separation of the adhesive when the lid 120 is peeled, and by tensile stress which is generated on the heat-sealing film under the own weight of the container 100.
- the film tear strength of the lateral seal part 111 a is set to be 280 g or higher.
- the tab portion 120c is returned back to the opening 112 side and the opening-closing portion 120b is bonded to the top of the body 110.
- the container 100 can be hung and held in that state.
- the lid 120 can be peeled off the body 110 with the container 100 held in the hanging state. Therefore, the user can peel the lid 120 with one hand, so that the user's operation of peeling the lid 120 is facilitated.
- the lid 120 is peeled with the container 100 held in the hanging state, so that the lid 120 is held in the peeled state under its own weight. Therefore, the user can peel the lid 120 off the body 110 with one hand and then take out the wet tissues 130 through the opening with the same hand. Thus, the user can perform all these actions with one hand, so that the user's operation is facilitated.
- the opening 112 In consideration of general power transmission, tensile stress generated by the force of peeling the opening-closing portion 120b linearly acts between the hang hole 114 and the peeling region 113b from which the adhesive 115 is separated. Therefore, if the opening 112 is formed on a line connecting the hang hole 114 and any point of the peeling region 113b, the opening 112 may be deformed by the tensile stress. According to this embodiment, however, the opening 112 is not formed on a line connecting the hang hole 114 and any point of the peeling region 113b, so that the opening 112 is not directly pulled in the direction of the long side of the body 110. Specifically, the opening 112 can be prevented from being deformed by the tensile stress. As a result, adhesion between the lid 120 and the body 110 is improved when the opening 112 is covered with the lid 120 again after the lid 120 is peeled. Thus, the wet tissues 130 can be prevented from drying.
- FIGS. 7 and 8 A first modification to the above-described embodiment is now described with reference to FIGS. 7 and 8 .
- a peeling region 213b is provided in the first modification.
- it has the same construction as the above-described embodiment.
- the peeling region 213b is provided on the body 110 to correspond to the outer edge of the opening-closing portion 120b of the body 110. Unlike the above-described embodiment, the peeling region 213b is not contiguous to the opening 112, but spaced apart from the opening 112. As shown in Fig. 8 , the adhesive 115b is applied only to the outer edge of the opening-closing portion 120b.
- the opening 112 can be further prevented from being deformed by the tensile stress which is generated when the opening-closing portion 120b is peeled off the body 110.
- the lid 120 is peelably bonded to the opening formation region 113c by an adhesive 115c.
- the lid 120 has the same construction as the above-described embodiment.
- the lid 120 is bonded to the body 110 by the adhesives 115a, 115b, 115c.
- the adhesive 115c peelably bonds the opening-closing portion 120b to the opening formation region 113c of the body 110.
- the adhesive 115c has weaker adhesion than the adhesive 115b. Specifically, an area bonded by the adhesive 115c requires less power to peel off than an area bonded by the adhesive 115b.
- the adhesive 115c is applied to a region of the opening-closing portion 120b which corresponds to a shaded region of the opening formation region 113c excluding the opening 112 as shown in FIG. 9 .
- the adhesive 115c is a feature that corresponds to the "second adhesive" according to this invention.
- the sealability to seal the opening 112 can be improved.
- the opening formation region 113c is bonded by the adhesive 115c which requires less power to peel off the opening-closing portion 120b than the adhesive 115b.
- the adhesive 115c can prevent deformation of the opening 112, while improving the sealability to seal the opening 112.
- the hang hole 114 is provided as the hanging part in the lateral seal part 111a of the body 110, but the hanging part is not limited to this.
- a hook may be provided on the body 110, or an adhesive tape may be provided on the lateral seal part 111a of the body 110.
- the container 100 is described as being used in the hanging state, but it is not limited to this.
- the container 100 may be held by fixing the lateral seal part 111a in a predetermined position such as on a desk or a shelf.
- the lid 120 has the tab portion 120c, but it does not have to have the tab portion 120c. Further, the tab portion 120c may be integrally shaped to have the same curvature as the curved part of the lid 120, but it may also be shaped to protrude from the lid 120 toward the lateral seal part 111a.
- each of the wet tissues 130 may be folded in a so-called pocket fold in which the tissue is Z-folded and the edges of the Z-folded tissue are further folded to form a zigzag fold tissue and then the zigzag fold tissue is folded in the middle of the folds.
- the package is not limited to a container for storing sheet-type articles, such as wet tissues, but it can also be formed as a container for storing various other articles.

2010-13144 - In the above-described known container, when the lid is peeled off the body, the film which forms the body deforms by the peeling force. Particularly in the case of the container formed of a thin sheet material such as film, the body irreversibly and plastically deforms by the peeling force. In this state, when the opening is covered again by the lid, the lid does not easily adhere tightly to the body. Therefore, if the lid does not adhere tightly to the body, the wet tissues stored within the body may get dry, or foreign material may enter the body. It is, accordingly, an object of the present invention to provide an improved technique relating to adhesion of a lid to a body in a container.
- In order to solve the above-described problem, according to a preferred aspect of the present invention, a container includes a body which is formed of a sheet member having an opening open to outside and has a storage space inside in communication with the opening, and a lid which covers the opening and can open and close the opening. The container is configured such that a storage article stored in the storage space can be taken out through the opening. The body extends along a first direction. The body has a holding part which is formed for holding the body in a region of one end of the body in the first direction. The lid has a fixed portion which is fixedly bonded to the body and a peelable portion which is formed contiguously to the fixed portion and peelably bonded to the body by a first adhesive. The peelable portion contiguously extends from the fixed portion toward the one end of the body in the first direction. The body has a first region to which the fixed portion is fixedly bonded, a second region to which the peelable portion is bonded by the first adhesive, and a third region which is entirely surrounded by the first and second regions. Further, the opening is formed in the third region.
- According to this invention, the opening is formed in the third region which is surrounded by the first region in which the lid is not peeled off and fixedly bonded and the second region in which the lid can be peeled off. Specifically, the lid is not bonded to a part of the third region between the opening and the first region by the first adhesive. Therefore, compared to a construction in which the lid is bonded to the part of the third region between the opening and the first region by the first adhesive, application of the tensile stress to the opening can be prevented. As a result, deformation of the opening can be prevented. Thus, adhesion between the lid and the body is improved when the opening is covered with the lid again after the lid is peeled. In this case, preferably, the part of the third region located between the opening and the first region is provided as an opening non-formation region.
- According to a further aspect of the container of the present invention, the second region is arranged such that a line connecting the holding part and any point of the second region does not pass through the opening.
- In consideration of general power transmission, tensile stress generated by the force of peeling the lid linearly acts between the holding part and the peeling region. Therefore, if the opening is formed between the holding part and the peeling region, the opening may be deformed by the tensile stress. According to this embodiment, however, the opening is not formed on a line connecting the holding part and any point of the second region. Therefore, the opening can be prevented from being deformed by the tensile stress which is generated by the force of peeling the peelable portion.
- According to a further aspect of the container of the present invention, the holding part is formed as a hanging part for hanging the body. The hanging part is preferably a through hole formed through the body, but it may be a hook provided on the body. Further, it is preferred that the hanging part has enough strength to be prevented from being destroyed when the peelable portion is peeled off the hanging body. Specifically, the hanging part has a section modulus large enough to be prevented from being destroyed by the force which is generated when the peelable portion is peeled off the body, and by the force which acts upon the hanging part under the weight of the container having a storage article stored therein. The manner of "destroying" the holding part includes not only the manner of making the holding part unable to perform the function of holding the body, but the manner of causing the holding part to irreversibly (plastically) deform.
- In this aspect, by providing the hanging part as a holding part of the container, the container can be hung and used in that state. Therefore, a user does not have to hold the body when peeling the lid off the body. In other words, the user can peel the lid with one hand. Thus, the user's operation can be made simpler.
- According to a further aspect of the container of the present invention, an outline of the peelable portion is defined by a connecting region formed contiguously to the fixed portion and an outer edge region of the peelable portion other than the connecting region, and the adhesive is applied only to the outer edge region.
- According to a further aspect of the container of the present invention, the lid has a holding portion to be held by users. The holding portion is formed contiguously to the peelable portion on an end of the peelable portion facing away from the fixed portion in the first direction.
- In this aspect, with the construction in which the lid is provided with the holding portion, the user can hold the holding portion and easily peel the lid off the body sheet. Thus, the user's operation can be made easier.
- According to a further aspect of the container of the present invention, the third region has the opening and a bonding non-allowed region is provided not to allow the bonding with the peeleable portion.
- According to a further aspect of the container of the present invention, the third region has the opening and is peelably bonded to the peelable portion by a second adhesive which requires less power to peel off the peelable portion than the first adhesive.
- In this aspect, with the construction in which the third region is bonded to the peelable portion by the second adhesive, the sealability to seal the opening can be improved. Further, the third region is bonded by the second adhesive which requires less power to peel off the peelable portion than the first adhesive, so that, when the lid is peeled, the tensile stress is mainly generated between the holding part and the first region which requires more power to peel off. Therefore, the second adhesive can prevent deformation of the opening, while improving the sealability to seal the opening.
- According to this invention, a container package is provided which includes a container and a storage article. The container includes a body which is formed of a sheet member having an opening open to outside and has a storage space inside in communication with the opening, and a lid which covers the opening and can open and close the opening. The storage article is stored in the storage space and can be taken out through the opening. The body extends along a first direction. The body has a holding part which is formed for holding the body in a region of one end of the body in the first direction. The lid has a fixed portion which is fixedly bonded to the body and a peelable portion which is formed contiguously to the fixed portion and peelably bonded to the body. The peelable portion contiguously extends from the fixed portion toward the one end of the body in the first direction. The body has a first region to which the fixed portion is fixedly bonded, a second region to which the peelable portion is bonded by the first adhesive, and a third region which is entirely surrounded by the first and second regions, and the opening is formed in the third region.
- According to this invention, the opening is formed in the third region which is surrounded by the first region in which the lid is not peeled off and fixedly bonded and the second region in which the lid can be peeled off. Specifically, the lid is not bonded to a part of the third region between the opening and the first region by the first adhesive. Therefore, compared to a construction in which the lid is bonded to the part of the third region between the opening and the first region by the first adhesive, application of the tensile stress to the opening can be prevented. As a result, deformation of the opening can be prevented. Thus, adhesion between the lid and the body is improved when the opening is covered with the lid again after the lid is peeled. In this case, preferably, the part of the third region located between the opening and the first region is provided as an opening non-formation region.
- According to a further aspect of the container package of the present invention, the second region is arranged such that a line connecting the holding part and any point of the second region does not pass through the opening.
- In consideration of general power transmission, tensile stress generated by the force of peeling the lid linearly acts between the holding part and the peeling region. Therefore, if the opening is formed between the holding part and the peeling region, the opening may be deformed by the tensile stress. According to this embodiment, however, the opening is not formed on a line connecting the holding part and any point of the second region. Therefore, the opening can be prevented from being deformed by the tensile stress which is generated by the force of peeling the peelable portion.
- According to a further aspect of the container package having the storage article stored therein in the present invention, the holding part is formed as a hanging part for hanging the body. Further, the third region has the opening and is peelably bonded to the peelable portion by a second adhesive which requires less power to peel off the peelable portion than the first adhesive.
- In this aspect, the opening can be prevented from being deformed by the weight of the storage article when the body is hung and the lid is peeled off the body.
- According to this invention, an improved technique relating to adhesion of a lid to a body is provided in a container.

container 100 for storingwet tissues 130 for dispensation is now explained as a representative embodiment of the present invention.Wet tissues 130 mean a sheet-type base material made of a fibrous material (cf. nonwoven fabric, gauze, cotton sheet, tissue paper) and impregnated with liquid (cf. alcohol, antiseptic solution, skin lotion). Thewet tissues 130 are features that correspond to the "storage article" according to this invention. Thecontainer 100 containing thewet tissues 130 is a feature that corresponds to the "container package" according to this invention. - The construction of the
container 100 of this embodiment is explained with reference toFIGS. 1 to 6 . As shown inFIG. 1 , thecontainer 100 includes abody 110 and alid 120. Thebody 110 and thelid 120 are features that correspond to the "body" and the "lid", respectively, according to this invention. - As shown in
FIG. 5 , thebody 110 of thecontainer 100 is formed by anupper wall 110a and abottom wall 110b and has a wet-tissue storage space 110H in which thewet tissues 130 are stored. Further, thebody 110 of thecontainer 100 has a throughhole 112 formed in theupper wall 110a. The wet-tissue storage space 110H is a feature that corresponds to the "storage space" according to this invention. - The
wet tissues 130 are stored in the wet-tissue storage space 110H in such a manner as to be taken out one by one through anopening 112. Preferably, thewet tissues 130 are stored such that, when a firstwet tissue 130 is taken out through theopening 112, an underlying secondwet tissue 130 is partially exposed (pops up) outward through theopening 112. For example, thewet tissues 130 are individually folded in two and stacked one on another in such orientation that a folding direction of thewet tissues 130 is alternately reversed. At this time, an end of a lower half (in the laminated state) of awet tissue 130 is located below an end of an upper half (in the laminated state) of the secondwet tissue 130. - The
body 110 of thecontainer 100 is formed, for example, of a film which can be fusion bonded by heating or heat-sealed (which film is referred to as a "heat-sealing film"). In order to form thebody 110 of thecontainer 100, typically, thewet tissues 130 are wrapped with a heat-sealing film and then a longitudinal seal part (not shown) andlateral seal parts lateral seal parts body 110 along the direction in which the heat-sealing film is fed during manufacturing of thecontainer 100. Thelateral seal parts container 100, and extend along a direction perpendicular to the feed direction. - As shown in
FIG. 2 , thelateral seal part 111a is wider than thelateral seal part 111b in the long side direction of the body 110 (in the longitudinal direction inFIG. 2 ). Acircular hang hole 114 is formed through thelateral seal part 111a substantially in the middle of thelateral seal part 111a. The long side direction of thebody 110 is a feature that corresponds to the "first direction" according to this invention. - Various kinds of films which can be heat-sealed or fusion bonded by heating can be used as the heat-sealing film for forming the
body 110 of thecontainer 100. In this embodiment, in which the heat-sealing film is used for packing thewet tissues 130, the heat-sealing film is preferably of a type that can keep thewet tissues 130 in wet condition (or prevent them from drying). For example, a laminate film is used which includes a protective layer made of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) resin, a moisture keeping layer (drying prevention layer) made of aluminum, and a heat-sealing layer made of biaxial oriented polypropylene resin. In order to form thebody 110 by using such a heat-sealing film, edges of the heat-sealing film are laid one on top of another such that portions of the heat-sealing layer (biaxial oriented polypropylene resin layer) are opposed to each other in the longitudinal and lateral seal parts. Thus, when the longitudinal and lateral seal parts are heated, the opposed portions of the heat-sealing layer (biaxial oriented polypropylene resin layer) are melted and bonded together in the seal parts. The protective layer may be omitted. Further, the moisture keeping layer (drying prevention layer) is not limited to an aluminum layer, but includes any layers which can keep thewet tissues 130 in wet condition (prevent thewet tissues 130 from drying) within the wet-tissue storage space 110H. The heat-sealing layer is not limited to a biaxial oriented polypropylene resin layer, but includes any layers which can be heat-sealed. The heat-sealing film is a feature that corresponds to the "sheet member" according to this invention. - The
opening 112 can have various shapes which allow thewet tissues 130 to be taken out of the wet-tissue storage space 110H, such as an elliptical shape having major and minor axes, a circular shape and a rectangular shape. In this embodiment, theopening 112 has a circular shape. Theopening 112 is a feature that corresponds to the "opening" according to this invention. - As shown in
FIG. 2 , thelid 120 includes the opening-closingportion 120b, abase 120a extending from the opening-closingportion 120b toward thelateral seal part 111b, and atab portion 120c extending from the opening-closingportion 120b toward thelateral seal part 111a (on the side facing away from thebase 120a). The opening-closingportion 120b has a larger area than theopening 112. As shown inFIG. 3 , thelid 120 is bonded to the top of thebody 110 byadhesives tab portion 120c, so that thetab portion 120c is not bonded to thebody 110. - The
base 120a is fixedly bonded to thebody 110 by the adhesive 115a, and the opening-closingportion 120b is peelably bonded to thebody 110 by the adhesive 115b. As the adhesive 115b, for example, a pressure sensitive adhesive is used. Thetab portion 120c is used as a tab for opening and closing the opening-closingportion 120b. Thebase 120a, the opening-closingportion 120b and thetab portion 120c are features that correspond to the "fixed portion", the "peelable portion" and the "holding portion", respectively, according to this invention. The adhesive 115b is a feature that corresponds to the "first adhesive" according to this invention. - The adhesive 115a is applied to the entire surface of the
base 120a. Thus, thebase 120a is fixedly bonded to a fixingregion 113a of thebody 110 as shown inFIG. 4 . - The adhesive 115b is applied to a part of the opening-closing
portion 120b. Specifically, the adhesive 115b is applied only to a region of the opening-closingportion 120b corresponding to apeeling region 113b of thebody 110 as shown inFIG. 4 . The peelingregion 113b includes a first peeling region 113b1 and a second peeling region 113b2. The first peeling region 113b1 is a region surrounded by tangents L1, L2 drawn through thehang hole 114 to theopening 112 and an outline corresponding to an outer edge of the opening-closingportion 120b. The second peeling region 113b2 is a region located on the side of theopening 112 facing thehang hole 114, or a region surrounded by the tangents L1, L2, theopening 112 and the outline corresponding to the outer edge of the opening-closingportion 120b. - As shown in
FIG. 4 , anopening formation region 113c is formed to be surrounded by the fixingregion 113a and the peelingregion 113b. Theopening 112 is provided in theopening formation region 113c. The fixingregion 113a, the peelingregion 113b and theopening formation region 113c are features that correspond to the "first region", the "second region" and the "third region", respectively, according to this invention. - In order to take out a
wet tissue 130 from the wet-tissue storage space 110H, the user holds thetab portion 120c of thelid 120 and peels the opening-closingportion 120b off the top of thebody 110, so that the opening-closingportion 120b is peeled off thebody 110 and theopening 112 is opened. The opening-closingportion 120b is normally bonded to the top of thebody 110 in order to prevent thewet tissues 130 from drying. - Operation of taking out the
wet tissues 130 from the wet-tissue storage space 110H through theopening 112 is now described. - The
lateral seal part 111a is kept in a fixed position and thetab portion 120c of thelid 120 is picked and pulled up by the user. Specifically, thetab portion 120c is pulled in a direction of arrow A toward thelateral seal part 111b. Thus, the opening-closingportion 120b of thelid 120 is peeled off thebody 110, so that theopening 112 is exposed and thewet tissues 130 can be taken out through the exposedopening 112. In order to keep thelateral seal part 111a in a fixed position, as shown inFIG. 6 , thebody 110 may be hung with a hanging string orrope 200 through thehang hole 114. By thus hanging thebody 110, once thelid 120 is peeled in the direction of the arrow A, thelid 120 is held in that state under its own weight. Thehang hole 114 is a feature that corresponds to the "holding part", the "hanging part" and the "through hole" according to this invention. - The diameter of the
hang hole 114 and the strength of thelateral seal part 111a around thehang hole 114 are set such that thehang hole 114 is prevented from being destroyed when thebody 110 is hung and thelid 120 is peeled. Specifically, the diameter of thehang hole 114 and the section modulus of thelateral seal part 111a are set such that thehang hole 114 is prevented from being destroyed by tensile stress which is generated on the heat-sealing film by separation of the adhesive when thelid 120 is peeled, and by tensile stress which is generated on the heat-sealing film under the own weight of thecontainer 100. For example, in the case of the container package in which the weight of thecontainer 100 is 5 g, the weight of thewet tissues 130 is 25 g, the diameter of thehang hole 114 is 5 mm, and the peel strength of thelid 120 is 250 g when the peeling speed is 100 mm/min, the film tear strength of thelateral seal part 111 a is set to be 280 g or higher. - In order to prevent the
wet tissues 130 from drying, when thewet tissues 130 are not in use, thetab portion 120c is returned back to theopening 112 side and the opening-closingportion 120b is bonded to the top of thebody 110. - According to the above-described embodiment, by provision of the
hang hole 114 in thebody 110, thecontainer 100 can be hung and held in that state. Thus, thelid 120 can be peeled off thebody 110 with thecontainer 100 held in the hanging state. Therefore, the user can peel thelid 120 with one hand, so that the user's operation of peeling thelid 120 is facilitated. - According to this embodiment, the
lid 120 is peeled with thecontainer 100 held in the hanging state, so that thelid 120 is held in the peeled state under its own weight. Therefore, the user can peel thelid 120 off thebody 110 with one hand and then take out thewet tissues 130 through the opening with the same hand. Thus, the user can perform all these actions with one hand, so that the user's operation is facilitated. - In consideration of general power transmission, tensile stress generated by the force of peeling the opening-closing
portion 120b linearly acts between thehang hole 114 and the peelingregion 113b from which the adhesive 115 is separated. Therefore, if theopening 112 is formed on a line connecting thehang hole 114 and any point of the peelingregion 113b, theopening 112 may be deformed by the tensile stress. According to this embodiment, however, theopening 112 is not formed on a line connecting thehang hole 114 and any point of the peelingregion 113b, so that theopening 112 is not directly pulled in the direction of the long side of thebody 110. Specifically, theopening 112 can be prevented from being deformed by the tensile stress. As a result, adhesion between thelid 120 and thebody 110 is improved when theopening 112 is covered with thelid 120 again after thelid 120 is peeled. Thus, thewet tissues 130 can be prevented from drying. - A first modification to the above-described embodiment is now described with reference to
FIGS. 7 and 8 . In the first modification, as shown inFIG. 7 , a peeling region 213b is provided. In the other points, it has the same construction as the above-described embodiment. - The peeling region 213b is provided on the
body 110 to correspond to the outer edge of the opening-closingportion 120b of thebody 110. Unlike the above-described embodiment, the peeling region 213b is not contiguous to theopening 112, but spaced apart from theopening 112. As shown inFig. 8 , the adhesive 115b is applied only to the outer edge of the opening-closingportion 120b. - According to the first modification, with the construction in which the peeling region 213b is spaced apart from the
opening 112, in addition to the same effect as the above-described embodiment, theopening 112 can be further prevented from being deformed by the tensile stress which is generated when the opening-closingportion 120b is peeled off thebody 110. - A second modification to the above-described embodiment is now described with reference to
FIGS. 9 and 10 . In the second modification, thelid 120 is peelably bonded to theopening formation region 113c by an adhesive 115c. In the other points, it has the same construction as the above-described embodiment. - As shown in
FIG. 10 , thelid 120 is bonded to thebody 110 by theadhesives portion 120b to theopening formation region 113c of thebody 110. The adhesive 115c has weaker adhesion than the adhesive 115b. Specifically, an area bonded by the adhesive 115c requires less power to peel off than an area bonded by the adhesive 115b. The adhesive 115c is applied to a region of the opening-closingportion 120b which corresponds to a shaded region of theopening formation region 113c excluding theopening 112 as shown inFIG. 9 . The adhesive 115c is a feature that corresponds to the "second adhesive" according to this invention. - According to the second modification, with the construction in which the
opening formation region 113c is bonded to the opening-closingportion 120b by the adhesive 115c, the sealability to seal theopening 112 can be improved. At this time, the openingformation region 113c is bonded by the adhesive 115c which requires less power to peel off the opening-closingportion 120b than the adhesive 115b. Thus, when the opening-closingportion 120b is peeled off, the tensile stress is mainly generated between thehang hole 114 and the peelingregion 113b bonded by the adhesive 115b which requires more power to peel off. Therefore, the adhesive 115c can prevent deformation of theopening 112, while improving the sealability to seal theopening 112. - In the above-described embodiment and modifications, the
hang hole 114 is provided as the hanging part in thelateral seal part 111a of thebody 110, but the hanging part is not limited to this. For example, in order to allow thebody 110 to be hung, a hook may be provided on thebody 110, or an adhesive tape may be provided on thelateral seal part 111a of thebody 110. Further, thecontainer 100 is described as being used in the hanging state, but it is not limited to this. For example, thecontainer 100 may be held by fixing thelateral seal part 111a in a predetermined position such as on a desk or a shelf. - In the above-described embodiment and modifications, the
lid 120 has thetab portion 120c, but it does not have to have thetab portion 120c. Further, thetab portion 120c may be integrally shaped to have the same curvature as the curved part of thelid 120, but it may also be shaped to protrude from thelid 120 toward thelateral seal part 111a. - In the above-described embodiment and modifications, the
wet tissues 130 are folded in a pop-up manner and stored in thecontainer 100, but the folding manner is not limited to this. For example, each of thewet tissues 130 may be folded in a so-called pocket fold in which the tissue is Z-folded and the edges of the Z-folded tissue are further folded to form a zigzag fold tissue and then the zigzag fold tissue is folded in the middle of the folds. - In the above-described embodiment and modifications, the package is not limited to a container for storing sheet-type articles, such as wet tissues, but it can also be formed as a container for storing various other articles.
