The wet tissue generally employs a structure in which wet tissue papers are stacked and stored in a container having a high humidity holding function and are sequentially pulled out one by one from a small opening.
Conventionally, wet tissue moistened with water or cosmetic liquid stored in a container body made of resin or the like is taken out from the tissue removal hole provided in the lid of the container body whenever necessary. It is used for wipes and wipes for babies, but it is impossible to heat with such wet tissue, especially when used for sick people in winter, etc. There was a problem that it felt too cold and was very unusable.

In order to solve such a problem, a wet tissue heating apparatus has been studied. For example, a wet tissue heating apparatus comprising an inner container capable of storing a tissue case storing wet tissue, and an outer case storing the inner container and having a heater for heating the wet tissue (see, for example, Patent Document 1) .), A wet tissue comprising a container chamber for storing a wet tissue, a steam generating section for generating steam by disposing a heat source in the water tank, and an ejection pipe for spraying steam to a part of the wet tissue in communication with the water tank As an invention capable of maintaining not only a heated state but also a cooled state, a heating container (see, for example, Patent Document 2) includes a container for storing wet tissue and a heat retaining member provided in the container body. A wet tissue container (see, for example, Patent Document 3) has been proposed.
In addition, a wet tissue sheet such as a wet tissue is contained in the container, and excess moisture is squeezed at the tissue sheet extraction opening formed on the lid of the container, so that the wet tissue is kept warm and cold. An apparatus (for example, refer to Patent Document 4), a paper towel heating / wetting apparatus in which a paper towel is put together with a solution in an inner container of an upper surface opening provided with a heater for heating, and a mouth is taken out while squeezing the paper towel in a part of the lid (For example, refer to Patent Document 5).
Furthermore, a continuous sheet with perforations at predetermined intervals immersed in a chemical solution in a folded state in the container is used to squeeze excess water with a pressure roller, and is pulled out from the sheet take-out port while maintaining the width from the folded state. There is a paper towel taken out as a sheet piece by tearing along (for example, refer to Patent Document 6).

However, the invention as described above has a problem that, in order to heat a wet tissue or wet towel, a power source is required because a heater is used as a heat source, and further, the portable device is not necessarily free, so that the place of use is limited. is doing. In addition, since wet tissues and wet towels are soaked in the container, the sheet itself that has been soaked for a long time is weakened by moisture, and it is rather hygienic because it promotes bacterial growth. In addition, depending on the device, there are some devices that are not easy to use by expanding the extracted tissue to the original width.
