Have been. In general, a plurality of sets of paper P, P,... Are folded alternately in a state where the ends are overlapped.

The box body 2 is shown in FIGS.
As shown in FIG. 2, a peripheral wall 6 is integrally provided upright along a peripheral edge of a bottom 7 having a rectangular shape in a plan view. As a result, the box body 2 is formed in a box shape with a bottom having an upper surface opening 9,
A paper storage section 8 is formed in the box. The paper storage unit 8 is set to have a size and a size that can store a plurality of sets of paper P, P,... Folded as described above.

As shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, the drop lid 3 has an outer peripheral wall 11 erected over the entire outer peripheral edge of a bottom portion 10 having a rectangular ring shape in plan view. The outer peripheral wall 11 has an outer shape and dimensions that allow the cover 3 to be moved up and down in the paper accommodating portion 8 with respect to the inner peripheral surface of the peripheral wall 6 of the box body 2. A paper outlet 13 having an elliptical shape in a plan view is formed in a central portion of the bottom portion 10. This paper outlet 1
Reference numeral 3 is for sequentially drawing out the paper P stored in the paper storage unit 8 from the uppermost layer of paper Pt. The inner peripheral wall 12 is also provided upright on the entire periphery of the paper outlet 13. The upper end height of the inner peripheral wall 12 is set somewhat higher than the upper end of the outer peripheral wall 11.

The space surrounded by the outer peripheral wall 11, the inner peripheral wall 12, and the bottom portion 10 is a storage section 14 for storing an aromatic material 20 (in this example, potpourri). The upper opening of the housing portion 14 is an opening 21 for taking in and out the fragrance material 20, and the opening 21 is sealed by the opening cover 5 so as to be openable and closable. In addition, at a portion of the bottom portion 10 of the drop lid 3 which is in contact with the uppermost layer of paper Pt, a large number of communication between the inside of the storage portion 14 and the outside of the drop cover 3 (in this example, the paper storage portion 8 in the box body 2). The communication holes 5, 5, ... are formed.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 3, the underlaying paper 4 is formed so as to have a width and a shape covering the entire bottom portion 10 of the dropping lid 3, and has an inner peripheral wall 12 of the dropping lid 3 at the center thereof.
Through holes 16 are formed. The underlaying paper 4 is made of an aesthetically pleasing material such as Japanese paper or nonwoven fabric, and allows air and scent to pass through, but the fragrance 20 (potpourri) that has been finely divided during use has communication holes 15,
15, ... do not fall.

As shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, the opening cover 5 is formed in a rectangular plate shape in a plan view, and has a size and a size that allow the inner peripheral wall 12 of the drop lid 3 to pass through a central portion thereof. A hole 17 is drilled. The inner peripheral surface of the insertion hole 17 is a tapered surface 19 that slightly expands downward.
The tapered surface 19 corresponds to the inclination of the outer peripheral surface of the inner peripheral wall 12, and is in close contact with the outer peripheral surface of the inner peripheral wall 12 when the opening cover 5 is covered with the access opening 21. The peripheral edge of the lower surface of the opening cover 5 is notched to form a stepped portion 18 that engages with the upper end of the outer peripheral wall 11. Due to the presence of the tapered surface 19 and the stepped portion 18, the opening cover 5 is dropped and locked on the lid 3 to seal the access opening 21. Both the opening cover 5 and the dropping lid 3 are formed of a transparent synthetic resin material. With such a configuration, the fragrance material 20 (potpourri) and the underlying paper 4
Can be enjoyed through the outside.

The tissue box 1 of this embodiment is configured as described above. Here, a usage mode of the tissue box 1 will be described. First, underlaying paper 4
And put it in the lid 3 and lay it on the upper surface of the bottom 10. Next, potpourri as the fragrance material 20 is spread on the underlaying paper 4. Thereafter, the opening cover 5 is attached to the access opening 21 to seal the access opening 21. That is, the upper surface of the bottom 10,
The hollow space surrounded by the inner peripheral surface of the outer peripheral wall 11, the outer peripheral surface of the inner peripheral wall 12, and the lower surface of the opening cover 5 is a storage section according to the present invention.

Subsequently, for example, the packaging of the pocket tissue received as a novelty product is broken, and the papers P, P,... Which are folded together are taken out and stored in the paper storage portion 8 of the box body 2. After that, the drop lid 3 is dropped from the upper surface opening 9 of the box body 2 into the paper accommodating portion 8 and placed on the uppermost layer of paper Pt. Subsequently, a part of the paper Pt is dropped and pulled out from the paper outlet 13 of the lid 3.

If the tissue box 1 in such a state is placed in an entrance, a living room, or the like, the fragrance 20
From the paper to the papers Pt, P in the paper accommodating portion 8 through the communication holes 15, 15,..., And scatter from the paper outlet 13 to the surroundings. In that case, communication hole 1
., 5,... Are covered with the uppermost layer of paper Pt, so that the fragrance is not wasted. Further, when using the paper, the uppermost layer of the paper Pt to which the scent is transferred is extracted, and when extracting the paper Pt, an elegant fragrance is given not only to the user but also to the surroundings.

In addition, in the tissue box 1, since the inside of the housing section 14 can be seen through the opening cover 5 and the dropping lid 3, the fragrance material 20 stored in the housing section 14 can be seen.
(For example, indicated by the dashed-dotted line 20 in FIG. 2) and the design of the underlaying paper 4 can be enjoyed from the outside. In particular, when the fragrance material 20 is potpourri, it goes without saying that the obtained visual information satisfies the natural orientation of the person, and the aromatherapy effect of the fine fragrance and elegant fragrance emanating from the potpourri allows the user to feel both mind and body. It is healed.

By removing the opening cover 5 and opening the insertion / removal opening 21, the fragrance 20 can be refilled in the accommodating portion 14 of the dropping lid 3. For example, depending on the mood at that time, potpourri can be replaced with aromatic beads, or even the same potpourri can be refilled with a different kind or blend ratio. After refilling, the opening 21 can be closed by the opening cover 5 so that the fragrance is not scattered unnecessarily.

In the above embodiment, the tissue box 1 is formed in a rectangular shape in a plan view. However, the present invention is not limited to this. The tissue box 1 may be formed in a circular shape, an oval shape, an oval shape, a polygonal shape, or the like in a plan view. In addition, it is not limited to pocket-size or mini-size tissue paper, it is about 230 mm long x 11 mm wide.
The present invention is also applicable to regular-size tissue paper folded to about 0 mm.

On the other hand, the drop lid 3 and the opening cover 5 do not necessarily have to be formed separately and independently as described above, but may be formed integrally with the fragrance contained in the storage section. Further, if the inside of the accommodating portion 14 can be seen through, only one of the opening cover 5 and the drop cover 3 may be formed of a transparent material or a translucent material. The aromatic material 20 is not limited to potpourri, and porous aromatic beads impregnated with a fragrance may be used.

[0024]

As described above, according to the tissue box according to the present invention, the fragrance of the fragrance material is scattered to the outside through the communication hole of the lid, so that not only the user of the tissue paper but also the periphery of the box can be slightly faint. You can enjoy the scent. Therefore, even if the novelty-free tissue paper is refilled with the tissue box of the present invention, its value can be enhanced as an elegant product.

Also, by removing the opening cover and opening the access opening, the fragrance material in the storage section can be refilled. For example, depending on the mood at that time, it is possible to replace the aromatic beads with potpourri, or to refill even the same potpourri with a different kind and a different blending ratio. After these refills, the access opening can be sealed, so that the fragrance can be prevented from scattering from the access opening.

Since the inside of the housing portion can be seen through from the outside through the opening cover and / or the dropping lid, the fragrance contained in the housing portion can be viewed and enjoyed. In the case of potpourri, you can feel better with natural visual information.

Furthermore, when a communication hole is formed at the bottom of the dropping lid at a position in contact with the uppermost tissue paper, when the tissue paper is not used, the fragrance of the fragrance is transferred to the uppermost tissue paper through the communication hole. In that case,
Since the communication hole is covered with the topmost tissue paper as if it were closed, unnecessary fragrance does not scatter outside. In addition, the user extracts the uppermost tissue paper to which the scent has migrated, and the scent drifts around with the extraction operation.

In addition, when potpourri is used as the fragrance, the user is healed both physically and mentally by the aromatherapy effect of the elegant fine incense emitted from the potpourri.
