Description

  The present invention relates to a gum container in which a plurality of gums and paper bundles are stored in a container.

As a packaging form of chewing gum (referred to as “gum” in the present application), a gum container is known in which a plurality of gums are housed in a synthetic resin container with a lid that can be opened and closed.
In general, the gum in such a packaging form is not wrapped in the wrapping paper, and the gum after being chewed cannot be wrapped in the wrapping paper and thrown away like a gum individually wrapped in the wrapping paper. Therefore, separately, a waste paper bundle in which a plurality of discarded papers are bundled is stored in the container.
By enclosing such discarded paper, after the chewing gum is finished, the consumer can take out the paper bundle from the container, take out one sheet of waste paper from the bundle, wrap the gum, and throw it away in the trash can. it can.
However, after chewing the gum, it is troublesome to open the container one by one and search for and take out a bundle of paper sheets stored in the container together with the gum. In addition, after removing one sheet of paper from the paper bundle, the paper bundle is returned to the container in which the gum is stored.

  Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a gum container that can be disposed of in discarded paper and disposed of without discarding a paper bundle in and out of the container every time the gum is chewed.

  As a first means for solving the above-mentioned problem, the present invention comprises a container in which a plurality of gums are stored, and a paper bundle in which a plurality of discarded papers are bundled so that they can be taken out individually. However, it is a gum container accommodated in the container together with the gum, and the gum container is provided with an adhesive layer on one side of the paper bundle and having a release paper attached to the adhesive side.

  In such a gum container, since the discarded paper bundle stored in the container has an adhesive layer to which the release paper is attached, the user first takes out the discarded paper bundle from the container, peels the release paper, Can be attached to the outer surface of the After the fact, every time the gum is chewed, it is possible to take out the individual discarded paper from the discarded paper bundle and wrap the gum in the discarded paper bundle without disposal.

  Further, the second means of the present invention comprises a container in which a plurality of gums are accommodated, and a waste paper bundle in which a plurality of discarded papers are discarded so that they can be taken out individually. Provided is a gum container housed in a housing part, wherein a label on which an adhesive surface can be exposed by peeling off an upper layer is attached to the outer surface of the container.

  Since such a gum container has a label that can be exposed to the adhesive surface by peeling off the upper layer on the outer surface of the container, the user must first remove the paper bundle from the container and tear off the upper layer of the label. A bundle of paper can be stuck on the adhesive side of the label. Therefore, in the same manner as described above, it is possible to dispose of the waste paper by wrapping the gum in individual waste paper without taking in the paper bundle from the container storage section.

The gum container of the present invention can be disposed of by discarding the gum by discarding the paper bundle without putting it into and out of the container every time the gum is chewed.
Therefore, each time a chewing gum is chewed, it is not necessary to search for a paper bundle from the container, and the gum can be easily taken out and disposed of.
Further, since the discarded paper bundle once taken out is not returned to the container in which the gum is still stored, a hygienic preferable gum container can be provided.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be specifically described with reference to the drawings.
(First embodiment)
In FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 denotes a container 2 in which a plurality of gums 5 are stored, a paper bundle 3 that is stored in the container 2, and a plurality of discarded papers 31 are bundled so as to be individually removable. A gum container comprising

Specifically, the container 2 is, for example, a detachable body 21 having a top-opening type body 21 in which a hollow storage portion 23 is formed, and is detachably attached to the body 21 by screwing (not shown). And a lid 22 capable of opening and closing the opening 21. The container 2 is formed of, for example, a synthetic resin molded product, and design printing such as a product name, an advertisement, and a product description is applied to an appropriate portion of the outer surface of the lid 22 and / or the outer peripheral surface of the main body 21. A label 7 is attached.
A plurality of gums 5 and a paper bundle 3 are stored in the storage portion 23 of the container 2. The gum 5 to be stored is a non-wrapping gum (not wrapped in wrapping paper), the form of which is not particularly limited, and a granular product coated with sugar coating or a plate not coated with sugar coating The shape is exemplified.

As shown in FIG. 2, the discarded sheet bundle 3 includes a relatively thick mount 32, a plurality of discarded sheets 31 superimposed on the upper surface of the mount 32, and an adhesive applied to the lower surface of the mount 32. And a release paper 34 attached so as to cover the adhesive surface of the adhesive layer 33.
A weak adhesive is applied to one side edge 31a of the lower surface of each discarded paper 31, and each discarded paper 31 is placed on one side edge 31a by overlapping the discarded paper 31 vertically. And bound. On the other hand, at the time of use, one sheet of discarded paper 31 can be easily removed by rolling up from the other side edge of the uppermost discarded sheet 31.
The size (shape) of the discarded paper 31 is not particularly limited, and is formed in a shape that can wrap the gum 5 (for example, a 40 mm square shape).
As the adhesive of the adhesive layer 33, a pressure-sensitive adhesive having an adhesive strength capable of sticking the discarded paper bundle 3 to the container 2 is used, but the discarded paper bundle 3 is stored in the container 2 together with the gum 5. Therefore, it is preferable to use a highly safe adhesive that conforms to the Food Sanitation Law.

For example, the gum container 1 first takes out the paper bundle 3 from the container 2 and, as shown in FIG. 3, peels the release paper 34 and exposes the outer surface of the lid 22 via the adhesive layer 33 exposed. It can be affixed to appropriate locations such as the inner surface and the outer peripheral surface of the container body 21.
Then, after the chewing of the gum is completed, the user can take out one sheet of discarded paper 31 from the discarded paper bundle 3 in the pasted state, and wrap the gum in this to dispose of it.
Thus, since it is not necessary to return the paper bundle 3 to the storage portion 23 of the container 2 one by one, the trouble of putting in and out the paper bundle 3 every time the gum is disposed is eliminated, and it is touched many times by hand. Since it is not necessary to return the discarded paper bundle 3 to the inside of the container 2, it is preferable in terms of hygiene.
In addition, the sticking location of the paper bundle 3 is not limited to the container 2, and can be attached to any place desired by the user, such as a front panel in a vehicle or a desk in a room.

(Second Embodiment)
2nd Embodiment is related with the gum container which can stick a paper bundle to a label. Hereinafter, parts different from those of the above-described embodiments will be mainly described. For the same configuration, terms and drawing numbers are used, and description thereof is omitted.
The paper bundle 3 of this embodiment is the same as that of the first embodiment except that the sticking adhesive layer 33 and the release paper 34 are not provided. It is stored.
In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 4A, among the labels 7 attached to the container 2, for example, the label 7 ′ attached to the outer surface of the lid 22 peels off the upper layer. The label is such that the adhesive surface can be exposed.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 5, the label 7 ′ is for attaching a first adhesive layer 71 for attaching to the container 2, a lower layer base material 72, and a paper bundle 3 in order from the bottom. The second adhesive layer 73, the release layer 74, and the upper layer base material 75 on which design printing has been performed are provided.
The 1st adhesion layer 71 will not be specifically limited if it is an adhesive which can be stuck on the container 2, A pressure sensitive adhesive, a heat sensitive adhesive, etc. can be used.
As in the first embodiment, the second adhesive layer 73 is preferably a pressure-sensitive adhesive. However, since the label 7 'for discarding bundles according to this embodiment is usually attached to the outer surface of the container 2. Those that do not comply with the Food Sanitation Law can also be used.
The lower layer base material 72 and the upper layer base material 75 are not particularly limited, and those usually used as a label base material such as paper, synthetic paper, and synthetic resin sheet (film) can be used. The release layer 74 is formed by applying a silicone resin or the like.

If the said gum container 1 takes out the paper bundle 3 from the container 2 first, peels off the upper layer base material 75 of label 7 ', and the adhesive surface of the 2nd adhesion layer 73 is exposed, FIG.4 (b) As shown in FIG. 3, the paper bundle 3 can be attached to the adhesive surface.
Then, after the chewing of the gum is completed, the user can take out one sheet of discarded paper 31 from the discarded paper bundle 3 in the pasted state, and wrap the gum in this to dispose of it.
As described above, the gum container 1 according to the present embodiment does not need to return the discarded sheet bundle 3 into the container 2, so that the trouble of taking in and out the discarded sheet bundle 3 is eliminated, and it is preferable in terms of hygiene. Further, since the sticking adhesive layer 33 is not provided on the paper bundle 3 stored in the container 2 and the sticking adhesive layer 73 is provided on the label 7 ', there is no possibility that the adhesive contacts the gum.

  The upper layer base material 75 is not limited to the one that peels the entire surface and exposes the adhesive surface, and may be configured, for example, to peel a part of the upper layer base material 75 to expose the adhesive surface. The exposed area of the adhesive surface only needs to be formed in a size that can hold the paper bundle 3. Further, a label 7 ′ that can expose such an adhesive surface may be provided on both the outer surface of the main body 21 and the upper surface of the lid 22.

<Other embodiments>
In each of the embodiments described above, the discarded sheet bundle 3 is formed by bundling a plurality of discarded sheets 31 by being weakly bonded to each other at one side edge portion 31a. However, the configuration of the discarded sheet bundle 3 is limited to this. For example, as shown in FIG. 6A, strip-shaped paper on which cutting lines 8 such as perforations are formed at predetermined intervals is alternately folded with the cutting lines 8 as a boundary. A bundle of paper 3 can also be used. The discarded paper bundle 3 uses a piece of paper cut out at the cutting line 8 as the discarded paper 31. Further, as shown in FIG. 5B, a paper bundle 3 in which a plurality of discarded papers 31 are stacked and stored in a single-sided case body 9 can be used. Thus, the specific configuration of the paper stack 3 is not particularly limited as long as it is configured to be able to take out the individual paper waste 31.
The material of the discarded paper 31 is not limited to paper, and may be a plastic film or synthetic paper.

  Further, in each of the above embodiments, the container 2 includes the main body 21 and a lid 22 that is detachable by screw action. For example, the lid 22 may be detachable from the main body 21 by concavo-convex fitting. Moreover, it is also possible to use a lid 22 that is connected to the main body 21 via a hinge portion.

  Furthermore, instead of the container 2 of each of the above embodiments, a container 2 in which a recess having a size enough to fit the paper bundle 3 may be formed on the outer surface of the main body 21 or the outer surface of the lid body 22 may be used. According to the container 2 in which such a concave portion is formed, the paper bundle 3 can be stuck to the concave portion, and the paper bundle 3 can be prevented from protruding from the container 2.
