Description

  The present invention relates to a moisturizing container for storing a wet sheet such as a wet tissue.

  A moisturizing container for storing a wet sheet such as a wet tissue has a container body for storing the wet sheet, an outlet for the wet sheet formed on the container body, and an opening / closing unit hinged to the container body for opening and closing the outlet. And a lid. Many wet sheets are folded into a Z-shape, and are stored in the container body in a state where the folded portions are stacked so that the folded portions enter between each other, or a continuous wet sheet. Is stored in the container main body in a zigzag folded state on the cut line placed at a constant interval, or is stored in the container main body in a state in which a continuous sheet having the cut line provided at a predetermined interval is wound in a roll shape. The When the uppermost wet sheet or the wet sheet on the start end side is pulled out from the outlet, the leading end portion of the subsequent wet sheet is pulled out from the outlet so as to be connected thereto, and is stopped by being caught by the end of the outlet. Thereafter, the wet sheets are taken out one by one from the outlet in the same manner.

  In addition, the opening and closing lid of this type of moisturizing container is provided together with the packing member so as to be in close contact with the peripheral portion of the outlet of the wet sheet so that the chemical solution such as alcohol impregnated in the wet sheet, water and the like do not evaporate ( For example, see Patent Documents 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5.)

Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 11-49206 JP 2000-142842 A JP 2001-225879 A Special Table 2002-529322 JP 2004-299768 A

  When a preceding wet sheet such as a wet tissue is taken out from the outlet, the succeeding one is dragged by the preceding one and is caught at the edge of the outlet and is stopped and held in a standby state. However, if the take-out port has a large area or a simple shape such as a circle, the subsequent wet sheet falls into the container body, which makes it difficult to take out the next wet sheet. Therefore, the take-out port of the conventional moisturizing container is formed in a small area so that the leading end of the subsequent wet sheet is properly held at the take-out port (for example, see Patent Document 2), or at the edge of the take-out port. A protrusion or the like for hanging the tip of the wet sheet is formed (for example, see Patent Document 1).

  However, the conventional outlet can hold the subsequent wet sheet in the standby position, but the outlet is formed on the hard wall of the container body, so that when the user tries to take out the wet sheet, the wet is taken out from the outlet. It is difficult to pick the tip of the sheet with a finger, and the wet sheet is restrained with a strong force on the outlet side when taking out, so the container body is lifted by being dragged by the wet sheet, eventually holding the container body with one hand, There is a problem that the wet sheet must be taken out by the hand. In that case, since the container is pressed with a dirty hand, there also arises a problem that the container becomes dirty.

  Also, if the moisture retaining container is provided with a spring member that normally biases the opening / closing lid in the opening direction and a packing member that enhances the sealing of the container body by the opening / closing lid, the structure of the moisture retaining container becomes complicated, and the number of parts and assembly are reduced. There is a problem that man-hours increase.

  The object of the present invention is to provide a moisturizing container capable of solving such problems.

  In order to solve the above problems, the present invention employs the following configuration.

Since the hemisphere (6) is covered and fixed to the opening (1d), the wet sheet (8) can be smoothly drawn out from the outlet (2). The drawer operation can be performed with one hand. Further, when the subsequent wet sheet (8) is taken out, it becomes easy to pick the tip (8a) with a finger.

  Next, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

<Embodiment 1>
As shown in FIGS. 1 to 4, the moisturizing container includes a container main body 1 for storing a wet sheet, a wet sheet outlet 2 formed in the container main body 1, and a container main body for opening and closing the outlet 2. 1 is provided with an open / close lid 3 hinged to 1.

  The container main body 1 is formed in a cylindrical shape by synthetic resin, for example. Specifically, the container body 1 is formed as a cylindrical body having a substantially circular cross section, but may be formed in a desired shape such as a rectangular tube shape. The substantially circular bottom wall 1a of the container main body 1 is detachably fitted to the peripheral wall of the container main body 1 via the uneven edge 1b. The inside of the container body 1 is kept in a sealed state by the fitting of the uneven edge 1b. The wet sheet can be accommodated in the container body 1 by releasing the fitting of the uneven edge 1b and removing the bottom wall 1a.

  As shown in FIG. 7, the wet sheet 8 is accommodated in the container body 1 as a roll 4 around which a continuous sheet having cut lines 4a provided at predetermined intervals is wound. Or the wet sheet | seat 8 is accommodated in the container main body 1 as the superimposition body 5 by which the continuous sheet | seat in which the cutting line was provided in the predetermined space | interval was folded in zigzag on the cutting line, as shown in FIG. The entire overlapping of the wet sheets 8 is impregnated with a chemical solution such as alcohol, water or the like. The overlapping sheets of the wet sheets 8 are initially stored in a container body 1 of a moisturizing container while being packed in a bag (not shown). When the wet sheets 8 are taken out one by one from the moisturizing container, the bags are taken out from the container main body 1, opened, and then returned to the container main body 1 together with only the overlapping wet sheets 8 or the opened bags.

  As shown in FIGS. 1 to 4, the upper end of the container body 1 is closed by a top wall 1c, and an opening 1d larger than the outlet 2 is provided in the top wall 1c as shown in FIGS. 2 is formed so as to surround 2.

  The opening 1d is formed in such a size that the wet sheet 8 can easily pass through. In the first embodiment, it is formed in a substantially circular shape, but other shapes can also be used.

  The outlet 2 is formed as a slit-like cut line in the hemisphere 6. The hemisphere 6 is made of a soft material having elasticity and thin. As the soft material, silicon rubber, elastomer, or the like can be used, and a material having gas barrier properties and water vapor barrier properties is preferably used.

  The hemisphere 6 is placed on the top wall 1c of the container body 1 so as to cover the opening 1d, and is fixed to the top wall 1c of the container body 1 by a predetermined fixing means. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 5, the hemisphere 6 is formed by fitting a fitting member 7 connected to the periphery thereof with a rim 1e formed in an annular shape in the opening 1d of the top wall 1c. , Fixed to the top wall 1c. For example, the fitting member 7 can be integrally formed with the hemisphere 6 by two-color molding (double molding). Alternatively, the fitting member 7 may be formed separately from the hemisphere 6, and the fitting member 7 may be fitted to the rim 1e so that the periphery of the hemisphere 7 is sandwiched between them.

  The cut line that becomes the take-out port 2 is preferably formed on a great circle passing through the apex of the hemisphere 6. As a result, the outlet 2 is positioned substantially at the center of the hemisphere 6 and the opening 1d.

  As described above, since the hemisphere 6 is made of an elastic soft material, as shown in FIG. 6, the outlet 2 can be easily expanded to allow the wet sheet 8 to pass through. Immediately after 8 has passed, the mouth is closed and the inside of the container body 1 is sealed. Since the force generated by the elastic deformation of the hemisphere 6 is weak, the container body 1 is not lifted by the force pulling the wet sheet 8, and the wet sheet 8 smoothly passes through the outlet 2 above the top wall 1c. To do. Then, the leading end portion 8a of the succeeding wet sheet 8 is pulled out to the standby position slightly ahead of the take-out port 2 and stopped while being sandwiched between the take-out ports 2, and is held so as not to fall into the container body 1. Further, since the outlet 2 is closed with the leading end 8a of the succeeding wet sheet 8 being sandwiched, volatilization of the impregnating liquid of the wet sheet 8 is prevented.

  The wet sheet 8 can be taken out even in a state where the half half 6a of the hemisphere 6 is inverted toward the inside of the container, as shown by a two-dot chain line in FIG. In this case, the wet sheet 8 can be pulled out more smoothly outside the outlet 2. Further, a thin ridge 20 that is thinner than the hemisphere 6 is provided at the boundary between the half half 6 a of the hemisphere 6 and the fitting member 7 as necessary. Due to the presence of the ridges 20, the half half 6a of the hemisphere 6 can be bent and reversed more smoothly between the ascending position indicated by the solid line and the descending position indicated by the two-dot chain line in FIG. A knob piece 19 is provided on the edge of the half half 6a of the hemisphere 6 for hooking a finger when the half half 6a is pulled back from the lowered position to the raised position, if necessary.

  As shown in FIGS. 3 to 5, the open / close lid 3 is provided so as to cover the hemisphere 6 on the top wall 1 c from above. The periphery of the hemisphere 6 on the top wall 1c is formed in a concave shape, and the open / close lid 3 covers the hemisphere 6 together with this recess. As shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the opening / closing lid 3 is connected at its rear part to the rear part of the top wall 1c via a hinge pin 9. The open / close lid 3 can be rotated in the vertical direction via the hinge pin 9, and the hemisphere 6 is concealed or opened by rotating about the hinge pin 9.

  Further, between the rear portion of the opening / closing lid 3 and the rear portion of the top wall 1c, a spring member 10 that normally biases the opening / closing lid 3 in the opening direction is interposed so as to correspond to the hinge pin 9. The spring member 10 is formed of a soft material having the same elasticity as the hemisphere 6. The spring member 10 is formed integrally with the hemisphere 6 as necessary. As shown in FIG. 5, the spring member 10 is interposed in a bent state between the opening / closing lid 3 and the top wall 1 c in the vicinity of the hinge pin 9. Due to the action of the spring member 10, the opening / closing lid 3 always rotates upward with the hinge pin 9 as a fulcrum and tries to expose the hemisphere 6.

  As shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the moisturizing container is provided with a locking means for holding the opening / closing lid 3 in a closed state. Specifically, the lock piece 11 is provided integrally with the opening / closing lid 3 at the front end of the opening / closing lid 3. In the state where the opening / closing lid 3 is closed, the lock piece 11 of the opening / closing lid 3 is hooked on the locking piece 21 formed by cutting out a part of the side wall of the container main body 1 to maintain the closed state. The lock is released by pushing the locking piece 21 with a finger, and the opening / closing lid 3 is rotated upward around the hinge pin 9 by the elastic action of the spring member 10 to expose the hemisphere 6.

  Further, as shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, a packing member 12 is provided around the hemisphere 6 so that the opening / closing lid 3 abuts when the lid is closed to seal the outlet 2. Specifically, the packing member 12 is placed on the top wall 1c so as to surround the rim 1e of the opening 1d, and is pressed and held on the top wall 1c by the fitting member 7.

  The packing member 12 is formed of a soft material having elasticity. Desirably, the packing member 12 is integrally formed of the same material as the spring member 10.

  A pressing portion 3 b is formed as an annular rib on the inner surface of the opening / closing lid 3 so as to correspond to the packing member 12. When the opening / closing lid 3 is closed, as shown in FIG. 5, the pressing portion 3 b presses the packing portion 12 toward the top wall 1 c, and thereby the periphery of the outlet 2 is more highly sealed, Volatilization of the impregnating liquid is prevented.

  Next, the operation of the moisturizing container configured as described above will be described.

  A large number of wet sheets 8 are initially stacked in a bag and sold in a state of being stored in the container body 1 of the moisturizing container.

  The user removes the bottom wall 1a of the container main body 1 at the time of purchase, takes out the bag, opens the bag, takes out the superposed body 5 or roll 4 of the wet sheet 8, and puts the superposed body 5 or roll 4 into the container main body 1. Then, the front end 8a of the wet sheet 8 is pulled out of the container body 1 from the outlet 2, the container body 1 is closed again with the bottom wall 1a, and the open / close lid 3 is closed.

  When the wet sheet 8 is used, a finger is put on the lock piece 11 to unlock the open / close lid 3. The opening / closing lid 3 automatically rotates upward by the restoring force of the spring member 10 to open the upper surface of the hemisphere 6.

  The user picks the tip 8 a of the wet sheet 8 viewed from the outlet 2 of the hemisphere 6 with a finger and pulls it out of the container body 1 from the outlet 2.

  The wet sheet 8 is pulled out from the take-out port 2 and is handled by its edge. As a result, surplus impregnation liquid such as alcohol is returned into the container body 1. Moreover, since the hemisphere 6 in which the take-out port 2 is formed is made of a soft material having elasticity, it is easily deformed when the wet sheet 8 is taken out. Since the force generated by the elastic deformation of the hemisphere 6 is extremely small compared to the force pulling the wet sheet 8, the container body 1 is not lifted by the pulling force of the wet sheet 8, and the wet sheet 8 can be removed smoothly. It is pulled out of the exit 2.

  When the preceding wet sheet 8 is pulled out, the leading end 8a of the subsequent wet sheet 8 is pulled out to a standby position slightly past the outlet and stops. Thereby, the front-end | tip part 8a of the wet sheet | seat 8 is hold | maintained at the edge of the outlet 2 of the hemisphere 6, and the fall into the container main body 1 is prevented.

  In addition, the wet sheet | seat 8 can also be pulled out in the state which reversed the half half 6a of the hemisphere 6 to the inner side of the container main body 1 as shown with a dashed-two dotted line in FIG. In this case, the wet sheet 8 can be pulled out from the outlet 2 more smoothly.

  When the wet sheet 8 is not necessary any more, the user closes the opening / closing lid 3. When the user closes the opening / closing lid 3 against the urging force of the spring member 10, the lock piece 11 of the opening / closing lid 3 is hooked on the outer wall surface of the container body 1, thereby holding the opening / closing lid 3 in the closed state.

  When the open / close lid 3 is closed, as shown in FIG. 5, the periphery of the take-out port 2 is sealed, the volatilization of the impregnating liquid of the wet sheet 8 is prevented, and the wet sheet 8 in the container body 1 from the take-out port 2 is further prevented. Volatilization of the impregnating liquid is prevented.

<Embodiment 2>
As shown in FIG. 9, in the moisturizing container of the second embodiment, the container body 14 is formed in a substantially rectangular parallelepiped. Further, the outlet 2 is formed in the hemisphere 6 in a slit shape or a slot shape. The open / close lid 3 is connected to the container body 14 by an integral hinge.

  In this moisturizing container, the ones in which the wet sheets 8 shown in FIG. 8 are stacked in a zigzag manner are stored, or a number of wet sheets 8 are folded in a Z-shape, and the folds between adjacent ones are the other. Stores what is stacked in between.

  In the second embodiment, the same parts as those in the first embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals, and redundant description is omitted.
