Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To package a plurality of tooth brushes with brush bristles are protected even when a flexible bag is used and to simultaneously satisfy needs of customers and low cost packaging by inserting a plurality of the tooth brushes in parallel in a bag formed so as to make the width gradually wider from the bottom part of the bag to the opening part. SOLUTION: A bag 7 is formed below a header part 8 which can be hung so as to make the width wider from the bottom part 15 of the bag to the opening part 14 and a plurality of tail ends of grips 3 of tooth brushes 2 are inserted toward the bag bottom part 15 from the opening part 13 and they are stored parallel so that a brush base 5 and tips of brush bristles 6 of adjacent tooth brushes come close to each other. In this case, the amount of shrinking of tapered peripheral edge 9a and 9b of the bag body 7 becomes larger, as the position further approaches the bag bottom part 15 to form a tightened holding part 21 for holding the tail end parts of grips 3 of the tooth brushes 2 stored parallel under a close contact condition. On the other hand, a region with a wide width opening part 14 forms a relaxed holding part 22 covering so that the adjacent brush base 5 and brush bristles 6 separate freely.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

The present invention relates to a toothbrush package in which a plurality of toothbrushes are packaged together.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, toothbrushes are displayed and sold in stores with one toothbrush wrapped in a packaging box.

Usually, a packaging box is formed between a mount and a recess by laminating and adhering or fusing a transparent plate made of a synthetic resin plate having an elongated recess formed by vacuum forming or the like on the elongated mount. One toothbrush is stored in the storage room.

[0004]

The prior art packaging boxes are:
Efforts have been made to reduce costs, but the limit has been reached, and further cost reductions are extremely difficult.

Therefore, the present inventor has found that it is advantageous to replace the packaging box with a bag based on a long-standing bag-making technique, and this can further reduce the cost from the current state. However, it has further been found that the cost can be significantly reduced by adopting a packaging form in which a plurality of toothbrushes are combined from the conventional packaging form for one toothbrush. Covers and toothbrushes are short-term consumables, so it is not uncommon for customers to buy multiple brushes in a lump, and to pack multiple toothbrushes together in a bag,
In terms of customer needs and cost reduction of packaging, it is considered that there is an advantage of two birds per stone.

[0006] On the other hand, on the other hand, it is necessary to protect the bristle of the toothbrush product during the over-the-counter sale, and there is no problem with this in the case of a conventional packaging box. This creates a problem of how to protect the brush hairs.

[0007] In this regard, a cap for protecting the bristles of a toothbrush is conventionally known. However, as described above, considering the form of packaging from the viewpoint of cost reduction, a cap which causes an increase in cost is replaced with a bristle. It would be contrary to the purpose of the invention to cover this. For this reason, while using a flexible bag as a package which packages a plurality of toothbrushes together, it is an object of the invention to configure the bag itself so as to protect the brush bristles. .

[0008]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention provides a toothbrush package which solves the above-mentioned problems. The toothbrush package is constituted by a toothbrush in which bristles are implanted on a brush base at the tip of a grip handle. Is a toothbrush package that is stored in a bag body in a state where a plurality of brushes are arranged side by side so that brush stands and brush bristles of adjacent toothbrushes are adjacent to each other, and the bag body is provided below a suspendable header portion. A mouth portion for storing the toothbrushes in a side-by-side state between the front and back film portions having both side edges fused and welded with the brush stand facing upward, and an opening which can be opened and closed at an upper portion of the storage room; And a bag formed with a tapered shape at both sides so that the bag body becomes gradually wider from the bag bottom toward the mouth. Parallel by bottom While forming a fastening holding portion for fixing and holding the tail ends of the gripping handles of the toothbrushes in close contact with each other, the brush bristles are separated from the adjacent brush mounts of the toothbrushes arranged in parallel by a wide mouth. The point is that a relaxation holding portion that covers freely is formed.

In the above construction, the bag body has a sheet material made of a synthetic resin sheet thicker than the back film portion attached to the inner surface of the back film portion, and a storage chamber is formed between the front film portion and the sheet material. It is good also as a structure which performs.

[0010] Alternatively, in the bag body, the back film portion is made of a synthetic resin sheet material thicker than the front film portion, and a storage chamber is formed between the back film portion and the front film portion made of the sheet material. Is also good.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described below in detail with reference to the drawings.

[First Embodiment] FIGS. 1 to 5 show a first embodiment of the present invention. The toothbrush 2 packaged in the toothbrush package 1 of the present invention has the same configuration as that of a commercially available toothbrush. A brush base 5 is provided at the tip of a grip handle 3 via a neck handle 4 to extend the brush base 5. The brush bristles 6 are planted. As understood from FIG. 1B, the width dimension D1 of the grip handle 3, the width dimension D2 of the neck handle 4, and the width dimension D3 of the brush stand 5
Are formed such that D1>D3> D2. Therefore, as shown in FIG.
The toothbrushes 2 are stored in the bag 7 in a side-by-side state, thereby constituting the toothbrush package 1.

In the bag 7, a storage chamber 12 is formed below the suspendable header section 8 between the front and back film sections 10 and 11 where both side edges 9 and 9 are fused and welded.
A mouth 14 having an openable and closable opening 13 is formed at an upper portion of the bag, and a bag bottom portion 15 is formed at a lower portion.

In the illustrated configuration, as shown in FIG. 1 (B), the front and back film portions 10 and 11 which are overlapped by bending one transparent or translucent synthetic resin film at the bag bottom 15 are formed. Constitution, back film part 11
Is folded over a header sheet 16 made of synthetic paper or a thick synthetic resin sheet so that the header sheet 16 can be sandwiched.
A welding wire 17 is formed along the lower edge of the sealing member 18 and the folded portion of the film portion is extended downward beyond the welding wire 17 to form a sealing piece 18.

Accordingly, the header portion 8 is constituted by the folded portion of the back film portion 11 and the header sheet 16, and the header portion 8 is provided with hanging means 19 such as hanging holes. Further, the opening 13 is configured to be freely openable and closable by the sealing piece 18, and the pressure sensitive between the vicinity of the upper edge portion of the front film portion 10 facing the opening 13 and the sealing piece 18 facing the opening 13. A sealing means 20 such as an adhesive layer is provided.

A bag 7 having such a film structure
Is made by a side seal method in which both side edges 9 are fused and welded. Then, at the time of side sealing, both side edges 9, 9 are blown in a tapered shape so that the bag body 7 gradually becomes wider from the bag bottom portion 15 toward the mouth portion 14. In the case of the illustrated example, the side edges 9, 9 form tapered edges 9 a, 9 a between the bag bottom portion 15 and the mouth portion 14 (the portion covering the brush bristles 6 of the toothbrushes 2 arranged in parallel as described later). And
Parallel edges 9 without taper on both sides of the mouth 14
b and 9b are formed. Incidentally, both side edges of the sealing piece 19 are fitted along the parallel edges 9b, 9b.

In view of the above, a plurality of toothbrushes 2 are inserted into the storage chamber 12 of the bag body 7 having the above-described configuration through the opening 13 with the tail end of the grip handle 3 facing the bag bottom portion 15. The brush base 5 and the brush bristles 6 are housed side by side so as to be adjacent to each other. That is, when the brush bristles 6 are stored in such a position that the front ends thereof face either the front and back film portions 10 and 11, the brush bristles 6 may be deformed by being pressed against the film portions. , As shown
By storing the brush bristles 6 in a posture in which the bristle implantation direction is horizontal, deformation of the brush bristles 6 can be avoided.

When the plurality of toothbrushes 2 arranged in such a posture are stored in the storage chamber 12, the bag 7
Is deformed as shown in FIG. In the figure, the chain line shows the bag shape before the toothbrush is stored, and the solid line shows the bag shape in the toothbrush stored state. That is, when the toothbrushes 2 are stored in a side-by-side state, the tapered edges 9a, 9a of the bag body 7 have a larger amount of shrinkage at a portion closer to the bag bottom portion 15, and as a result, the region of the bag bottom portion 15 formed narrower. The portion constitutes a fastening holder 21 for fixing and holding the tail ends of the grip handles 3 of the toothbrushes 2 housed side by side in close contact with each other. On the other hand, the area portion of the wide mouth portion 14 is a loose holding portion 2 that covers the adjacent brush base 5 and the brush bristles 6 of the toothbrushes 2 housed side by side so as to be able to be separated from each other.
Constituting No. 2.

For this reason, the toothbrushes 2 stored in the storage chamber 12 in a side-by-side state are fixed and held by the fastening and holding portions 21 so that the tail ends of the adjacent gripping handles 3 are in close contact with each other. However, since the tail end portion is held from the surroundings, the tail end portion does not move freely inside the storage chamber 12 and is suitably held. In this regard, if the entire toothbrush 2 is tightened and held, the brush bristles 6 which are the life of the toothbrush may be deformed and damaged, but according to the present invention, the adjacent toothbrushes 2 are adjacent to each other. Brush stand 5
And the brush bristles 6 are covered in a loose and relaxed state so as to be freely separated from each other by the relaxation holding portions 22 formed in the region of the mouth portion 14 having a wide width. Can be avoided, and the brush bristles 6 can be suitably protected.

[Second Embodiment] FIGS. 6 to 9 show a second embodiment of the present invention, which has basically the same configuration as that of the first embodiment. The same reference numerals are used, and only different components will be described below.

The bag 7 is provided with a sheet material 16a made of a synthetic resin sheet such as synthetic paper thicker than the back film portion on the inner surface of the back film portion 11 so as to provide a space between the front film portion 10 and the sheet material 16a. The storage room 12 is formed. On this occasion,
The header sheet 16b is formed by extending the sheet material 16a upward.

In the second embodiment, the sealing piece 18 as in the first embodiment is not formed, and the opening 13 is opened. Therefore, the toothbrush 2 is stored in the storage chamber 12.
The opening 13 is closed with cellophane tape or another sealing means.

[Other Embodiments] The present invention enables various embodiments by making various design changes.
For example, the term “film” constituting the front and back film portions 10 and 11 should not be strictly interpreted, and may include not only a thin film as in the illustrated embodiment but also a relatively thick film close to a sheet. Should be understood. Therefore, in the bag 7, the back film portion 11 is made of a synthetic resin sheet material thicker than the front film portion 10,
Back film portion 11 and front film portion 1 made of the sheet material
The storage chamber 12 may be formed between 0.

[0024]

According to the present invention, the toothbrush package 1 in which a plurality of toothbrushes 2 are packaged together in the bag 7 is provided, so that the effect of satisfying the needs of the customer and the cost reduction of the packaging can be satisfied at the same time. is there.

When the toothbrush is packaged in a bag, if the brush bristles 6 are stored in such a position that the tip of the brush bristles faces one of the front and back film portions 10 and 11, the brush bristles 6 are compressed by the film portion. According to the present invention, the toothbrush 2 stored in the side-by-side state may be deformed.
Since the brush bristles 6 and the brush bristles 6 adjacent to each other are made adjacent to each other, that is, the bristle bristles 6 are set in the horizontal orientation, deformation of the brush bristles 6 can be avoided.

In particular, according to the present invention, when the toothbrushes 2 are stored in parallel, the shrinkage of the tapered edges 9a, 9a of the bag body 7 becomes larger at a portion closer to the bag bottom 15, so that the width is reduced. The region portion of the bag bottom 15 formed in the above forms a fastening holder 21 for fixing and holding the tail ends of the grip handles 3 of the toothbrushes 2 housed side by side in close contact with each other. It can be suitably held so as not to move freely inside the chamber 12. On the other hand, if the whole of the toothbrush 2 is tightened and held, the brush bristles 6 which are the life of the toothbrush may be deformed and damaged, but according to the present invention, the wide mouth portion is formed. Since the region 14 constitutes a relaxation holding portion 22 that freely covers the adjacent brush base 5 and brush bristles 6 of the toothbrushes 2 stored in a side-by-side state, it is possible to avoid pressure on the brush bristles 6 and brush bristles. 6 can be suitably protected.
