DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a packaging container for accommodating a product containing an oral cavity preparation, wherein the packaging container has means which can be visually recognized from the outside. Also,
The present invention relates to a method for packaging an orally-used product, which comprises placing the orally-used product in a packaging container having means for visually confirming the product from the outside.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, products containing oral use agents such as liquid gargles, mouthwashes, oral fresheners, oral medicines for oral use (hereinafter referred to as products containing oral use agents) have been found to be unclean and dirty. In order to avoid damage and to ensure the virginity of the product, it is housed in a packaging container such as a paper box.

[0003] On the other hand, products containing oral preparations are, of course, not beverages. These products can be used to rinse, cleanse, disinfect, disinfect, cleanse, remove bad breath,
Oral and pharyngeal swelling, prevention of colds and symptoms that occur when you have a cold (tonsillitis, pulpitis, stomatitis, oral odor), glossitis,
It is used for voice, throat discomfort, caries, alveolar pyorrhea, gingivitis, periodontitis, etc. Therefore, after rinsing the inside of the oral cavity and washing it, it is exhaled without drinking.

Against this background, to prevent consumers from accidentally drinking, these products are available in blue, brown, dark brown, reddish brown, tan, pale purple, green, dark green, yellow, pale yellow, Many colored solutions such as pale yellow. In addition, some colorants formulated for the purpose of forming a colored solution are decomposed by ultraviolet rays.

[0005]

[0005] Oral use-containing products are generally sold at drugstores, convenience stores, supermarkets and the like, but rather than face-to-face sales formats based on product descriptions from pharmacists to consumers. Self-sales format, in which consumers themselves select products, is mainly used. For example, in the case of a paper box, a packaging container for storing a product is often configured such that a stopper does not allow the stored item to pop out, or an unsealed portion is glued to prevent tampering.

[0006] For this reason, there is a risk that taking out the stored item itself may be taken as an indication of purchase intention, or there is a risk that the paper box may be damaged at the time of taking out. Therefore, consumers have had to select products based on package design and labeling of packaging containers rather than selecting products after careful examination without hesitation. In other words, the contents must be purchased without visually recognizing the contents from the outside, causing inconvenience. In fact, according to the results of a consumer monitor survey (approximately 300 people), it has been found that packaging with visible contents has a majority support, and the development of new packaging containers is eagerly awaited.

[0007]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been developed for solving the above-mentioned problems, and is a packaging container for accommodating an orally used product, which has means which can be visually recognized from the outside. It is intended to provide a packaging container characterized by the above. Further, the present invention provides a method for packaging an orally used product containing a product, wherein the product is orally contained in a packaging container having a means for making it visible from the outside.

In the present invention, the product containing an oral cavity preparation refers to a product containing an oral cavity preparation such as a liquid mouthwash, a mouthwash, an oral freshener, and a dental oral medicine. The means visible from the outside is, for example, a window opening in which a part of the container is opened. A shape in which one surface is open over almost the entire surface may be used.

[0009] The shape and size of the window can be appropriately selected according to the characteristics of the stored items. As the shape of the window hole, any shape such as a substantially circular shape, a substantially triangular shape, a substantially square shape, a substantially polygonal shape, or a combination thereof can be used. In addition, the window holes may be provided in a dispersed manner. The size of the window hole can be provided in the range of 10 to 90% over the front surface or side surface of the container, and is preferably provided in the range of 20 to 80%.

As a synthetic resin film to be stretched in a window hole,
Polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PE), polyethylene terephthalate (PET), vinyl chloride (PV
C) and cellophane. In addition, some of the oral agent-containing products contain a coloring agent that is decomposed by ultraviolet rays. In such a case, a film having an ultraviolet ray preventing function may be used.

[0011]

According to the present invention, the consumer can visually recognize the product containing the mouth-use seat, which is a storage item, from the outside of the packaging container without opening the product when selecting the product. You can choose. In addition, the product can have an excellent design effect. Further, even when a colorant that is decomposed by ultraviolet rays is contained, deterioration of a product due to decomposition of the colorant can be reduced by using a film having an ultraviolet ray preventing function.

[0012]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

1 to 6 are views showing a packaging container of the present invention. The packaging container 1 is provided with a window hole 2 so that stored items can be visually recognized from the outside.

The shape of the window hole is elliptical (FIG. 1), circular (FIG. 2), quadrangular (FIG. 3), quadrilateral (FIG. 4)
The shape is a combination of a circle and a rectangle (FIG. 5), and a combination of a circle and a rectangle (FIG. 6). In FIG. 5, two window holes are provided.
FIG. 7 shows a conventional packaging container in which stored items cannot be visually recognized from the outside.

[0015]

[Test Example] Color fastness test by ultraviolet rays Test method A packaging container containing a gargle containing Blue No. 1 was used as a product containing an oral cavity preparation. The window of the packaging container of the present invention was left facing direct sunlight for 3 hours a day on a sunny day in a place exposed to direct sunlight. This operation was performed for 7 consecutive days.

The following two types were prepared as controls. 1. The packaging container without a window was left in the direction of sunlight as described above, and this operation was continuously performed for 7 days. 2. The packaging container of the present invention was stored at room temperature for 7 days without being exposed to direct sunlight.

Results The gargle stored in the packaging container of the present invention had almost no difference in appearance as compared with Controls 1 and 2, and no fading was observed.

[0018]

According to the packaging container for accommodating the oral-use seat-containing product according to the present invention and the packaging container, a consumer can open the packaging-use seat-containing product from outside without selecting the product. Since the product containing the oral cavity seat, which is a storage item, can be visually recognized, it can be appropriately selected according to preference. In addition, the storage container of the present invention can exert an excellent design effect. Furthermore, even when a colorant that is decomposed by ultraviolet rays is included as a component of the product containing oral cavity seats, it is possible to reduce the deterioration of the product due to the decomposition of the colorant by using a film having an ultraviolet ray preventing function. it can.
