Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a wet tissue heating and warming device which can be easily used at home.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Since conventional wet tissues are in a wet state, especially when used in winter, due to a decrease in outside temperature, the wet tissues must always be used in a cold state, causing discomfort.

[0003] In particular, when used for wiping the buttocks of infants or for cleaning the sick person's body, there is always room for improvement in the feeling of use due to the cold sensation.

Normally, the operating temperature of a wet tissue is 4
Around 0 ° C. seems to be optimal, but a wet tissue that does not contain a bactericidal drug may be in a state where bacteria can easily grow if this temperature is maintained.

[0005] However, recently, an electric heating apparatus for wet tissue which has been sterilized at about 80 ° C and maintained at about 40 ° C has been proposed in the market (not shown).

[0006]

The conventional electric heating apparatus for wet tissues always requires a power source and is installed in a bag containing a commercially available wet tissue for refilling. Unnecessary amount (60-90 sheets), not the number of sheets
Was constantly kept warm by electricity, and as a result, there was a concern that unused wet tissue might be deteriorated and water might evaporate.

[0007] In addition, the electric heating apparatus for wet tissue is expensive and is generally not easily and widely available in the market.

Further, it is impossible to carry this electric heating device when going out.

[0009] There is also an invention of a warming device, such as a disposable body warmer, that keeps a wet tissue warm by a heating effect composed of components such as iron, activated carbon, and salts, but this increases the amount of incombustible waste after use. It is not suitable for daily use for wiping the buttocks of infants and the like.

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention heats and sterilizes a wet tissue to a high temperature in a few minutes, and then keeps the heat-retaining state for several hours by using a heating material and a heat-retaining cover. Another object of the present invention is to provide an easy and economical wet tissue heating and warming device that can be carried around.

[0011]

The present invention has the following configuration to achieve the above object. In a heat-resistant container body having a lid with a wet tissue outlet on the top surface,
It is characterized in that a storage portion for storing wet tissue which is stacked so as to be able to be taken out one by one and a storage portion for storing a heating material which reacts by heating by microwaves are provided.

More specifically, the wet tissue is heated to a high temperature by heating the heat-resistant container body containing the heating material and the wet tissue for a few minutes in a microwave oven, whereby sterilization can be performed. The effect can be obtained.

[0013] In the above configuration, by covering the heat-resistant container body with the heat insulating cover, the heat insulating state can be maintained more efficiently.

[0014]

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS One embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing the entire wet tissue warming device according to one embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 2 is a perspective view showing the heat-resistant container body of the present invention with a lid removed, and FIG. FIG. 4 is a perspective view of a state in which a wet tissue and a heating material are accommodated inside the heat-resistant container body of the present invention, and FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view when the heat-resistant container body of the present invention is used.

The heat-resistant container body (2) is closed by covering the storage section (4) for storing the wet tissue (5), the storage section (7) for storing the heating material (6), and the upper opening. It is formed from a lid (3).

In this embodiment, the heat-resistant container main body (2) is made of heat-resistant polypropylene which can be used at a high temperature up to 140 ° C. by a microwave oven of 500 W.

An openable opening (1) for taking out wet tissue is provided on the top surface of the lid (3) for closing the upper opening, and is turned upward by pressing a push button (9). It is provided to open.

Further, a handle (8) used for carrying is provided on the top surface of the lid (3).

The wet tissue storage section (4) is made of a nonwoven fabric impregnated with components such as propylene glycol and parapen, and stores the wet tissues (5) folded and stacked one by one. (7) contains a heating material that can maintain the heat retention effect, such as a heating material made of a high molecular weight polymer component that is heated and reacted by a microwave oven or a gel-like instant heating product.

The wet tissue (5) and the heating material (6) are accommodated in the accommodating portions (4) and (7), respectively, and the opening on the upper surface of the container is covered with a lid (3) as shown in FIG. .

Next, the heat-resistant container main body (2) whose top opening is closed by the lid (3) is heated by a microwave oven for about 3 minutes. The inside of the heat-resistant container body (2) heated in this state becomes high temperature, and the wet tissue (5)
Can be heated and sterilized, and the heating material (6) starts a heating reaction.

The heat-resistant container body (2), which has been heated in the microwave oven, is taken out, and the heat-insulating material cover (1) is left as it is.
Cover in 3).

As the material of the heat insulating material cover (13), any material having a heat insulating property such as an aluminum vapor-deposited polyester film, a polyethylene foam, a polyethylene film, a polystyrene foam, and a vinyl chloride can be used. As it increases the heat retention, it is convenient to use.

The heat insulating material cover (13) is made of a fastener (11) or the like so that the heat resistant container main body (2) can be easily stored. For convenience, a cover opening (10) is provided so that a part of the cover can be opened with a hook-and-loop fastener (12).

Further, after heating only the heating material (6), the refilling wet tissue in a state of being stored in a bag of vinyl or the like is placed together with the bag in the wet tissue storage section (4), and a sufficient heat retaining effect is obtained. Is obtained. This means may be used if it is not intended to sterilize and immediately heat the wet tissue.

Although the embodiment of the present invention has been described above, the present invention is not limited to this embodiment.
As long as the object of the present invention can be achieved, the present invention can be appropriately modified and implemented.

[0028]

As described above, according to the wet tissue warming device of the present invention, the wet tissue is heated for about 4 hours after sterilizing the wet tissue by heating the wet tissue and the heating material in a microwave oven. And a simple and economical heating and warming device that can be used repeatedly can be provided.
