  BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION The best mode for carrying out the present invention will be described below, but the present invention is not limited to the following embodiment, and is based on the ordinary knowledge of those skilled in the art without departing from the gist of the present invention. It should be understood that modifications and improvements as appropriate to the following embodiments also fall within the scope of the present invention.

[1] Carton with sanitary paper:
The sanitary paper-containing carton of the present invention is provided with a box-like carton body 20 as shown in FIGS. In the internal space of the carton body 20, two sets of sanitary paper bundles 35A and 35B each composed of a plurality of sanitary papers are stored. The upper surface 2 of the carton body 20 can be formed with an opening 17 having two outlets 15A and 15B for taking out the sanitary paper from the two sets of sanitary paper bundles 35A and 35B to the outside of the carton body 20. A line 14 is formed. The front surface 6A is combined with two sanitary sheets 5A and 5B, each part of which is drawn out from the two outlets 15A and 15B to the outside of the carton body 20, and has a single design as a whole. A configured design element 25 is represented.

  The sanitary paper-filled carton of the present invention is formed as a whole by combining two sanitary papers drawn from the two outlets as described above and the design elements shown on the front. Therefore, there is an advantage that the variation of the design becomes abundant.

  In addition, the design formed by the sanitary paper-containing carton of the present invention is different from a flat pattern or photo represented only on the outer peripheral surface of the carton body, and two sanitary papers drawn from the outlet, It is a design having a three-dimensional expanse (depth) formed by combining with design elements shown on the front. Therefore, the sanitary paper-containing carton of the present invention is excellent in design, gives a novel impression to the user, and is rich in taste and entertainment when placed and used indoors. . Moreover, since it has a design with an unprecedented three-dimensional expanse, it will sufficiently stimulate consumers' willingness to purchase. Hereinafter, further details of the sanitary paper-containing carton of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

[1-1] Carton body:
FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a use state of an embodiment of a sanitary paper-containing carton according to the present invention. Moreover, FIG. 2 is a front view which shows the use condition of one Embodiment of the sanitary paper containing carton of this invention. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the carton body 20 of the sanitary paper-filled carton 1 according to the present embodiment has a total of six surfaces: a top surface 2, a bottom surface 4, a front surface 6 </ b> A, a back surface 6 </ b> B, and a pair of wife surfaces 8. These six surfaces have a box shape in which an internal space that can store sanitary paper (bundle) is partitioned. Examples of the “box shape” include hexahedron shapes such as a rectangular parallelepiped shape and a cubic shape. In these shapes, the top surface and the bottom surface, the front surface and the back surface, and the pair of wife surfaces are arranged in parallel so as to face each other. Among these, it is preferable to configure the carton body in a rectangular parallelepiped shape, more specifically, a rectangular parallelepiped shape having the front and back sides of the carton body as long sides and the wife side as short sides. In addition, as long as it has the said 6 surface, what chamfered the ridgeline part formed by two adjacent surfaces is also contained in the concept of the "carton main body" said to this specification.

  The carton body can be manufactured, for example, by bending a carton blank 100 made of a paper material or the like as shown in FIG. The carton blank 100 shown in FIG. 5 has a top surface 2, a bottom surface 4, a front surface 6A, and a back surface 6B that are formed of a single sheet of material through a fold line, and from the respective edges of the front surface 6A and the back surface 6B. The inner flap 26 is extended through a fold line. Further, an upper outer flap 28 extends from the edge of the upper surface 2 via a fold line, and similarly, an outer bottom flap 30 extends from the edge of the bottom surface 4 via a fold line. Has been issued. Further, a side joining margin 32 extends from one side edge portion of the bottom surface 4 via a fold line, and the end face of the bottom surface outer flap 30 has a mating surface as a joint allowance with the top surface outer flap 28. A joint 34 is attached.

  Such a carton blank 100 forms a pair of end faces 8 by bending each fold line and joining the side joint allowance 32 and the front face 6A, and then joining the end face joining margin 34 and the upper outer flap 28. be able to. By doing so, the carton body 20 can be obtained.

  There are no particular restrictions on the material constituting the carton body. However, a paper material such as cardboard is preferably used as a constituent material for the convenience of bending and manufacturing a carton blank. Generally, as these paper materials, those produced using wood pulp, waste paper, etc. as raw materials can be suitably used.

  As shown in FIG. 3, an opening forming cut line 14 is formed on the upper surface 2 of the carton body 20. By breaking the opening forming cut line 14, an opening 17 having two outlets 15A and 15B as shown in FIG. 1 can be formed. The sanitary sheets 5A and 5B can be taken out from the two sets of sanitary sheet bundles 35A and 35B to the outside of the carton body 20 through the outlets 15A and 15B.

  There is no restriction | limiting in particular about the outer periphery shape of an opening part, What is necessary is just to select suitably according to the shape of a carton main body or a sanitary paper. However, since a rectangular parallelepiped shape is often used as the carton body, the shape of the opening is preferably a horizontally long shape along the longitudinal direction of the carton body. Therefore, examples of the outer peripheral shape of the opening include a substantially rectangular shape, a substantially oval shape, an oval shape, a rhombus shape, and a polygonal shape.

  FIG. 4 is a perspective view showing another embodiment of the sanitary paper-filled carton according to the present invention. On the upper surface 2 of the carton body 40 of the sanitary paper-containing carton 10 shown in FIG. 4, two opening forming cut lines 24A and 24B are formed. Thus, in the carton with sanitary paper of the present invention, the two opening forming cut lines 24A and 24B are broken to form two openings having two outlets 15A and 15B, respectively. It is good also as an aspect.

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 5, the cut line for peeling is connected to the part which becomes the cut piece surrounded by the cut line 14 for forming the opening to connect two points of the cut line for forming the opening. 52 may be formed. By forming such a tear-off cut line 52, there is an advantage that the cut piece can be easily peeled off. For example, as shown in FIG. 5, a substantially U-shaped tearing line 52 can be formed at both ends in the longitudinal direction of the substantially rectangular opening forming cutting line 14.

  In addition to the so-called perforated line, the opening forming cut line and the tearing cut line may be those in which relatively long cuts (slits) are intermittently arranged. In addition, a breaking line for unsealing where the cut line called a zipper is bent into a bowl shape (see page 281 of the packaging industry's well-known and commonly used technology collection, issued by the Japan Patent Office on December 20, 1978) and double perforations It may be.

  The carton body may be formed with push-up piece forming cut lines 54 for forming a pair of push-up pieces on the bottom surface 4 (see FIG. 5). When the remaining amount of sanitary paper stored in the carton body is reduced, a pair of push-ups are formed by pressing and breaking the push-up piece forming cut line 54 formed on the bottom surface 4 and bending it inside the carton. Form a piece. Since the sanitary paper inside the carton is pushed up by the push-up piece, it is possible to stably pop up the last sanitary paper. For example, as shown in FIG. 5, a pair of U-shaped push-up piece forming cut lines 54 is often formed at the center of the bottom surface 4.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the carton body 20 is disposed so as to cover the opening 17 from the inside of the carton body 20, and outlets 15 </ b> A and 15 </ b> B (slits) for taking out the sanitary paper 5 </ b> A and 5 </ b> B are provided. The formed window film 12 may be affixed. On the other hand, the carton body may be a so-called filmless carton having a structure in which a window film is not attached.

  As shown in FIG. 1, when the window film 12 is pasted from the inside of the opening 17, the sanitary paper inside the carton body 20 can be protected from dust and foreign matters outside the carton body 20. Further, when the sanitary papers 5A and 5B are taken out, the sanitary papers 5A and 5B popped up fall into the carton body 20 due to friction between the outlets 15A and 15B (slits) formed in the window film 12. Is prevented, and the sanitary sheets 5A and 5B can be held in a state of protruding from the outlets 15A and 15B.

  On the other hand, a filmless carton is preferable because it can reduce the material cost of a film such as a polyethylene film and can omit the step of attaching a window film. Further, there is an advantage that it is not necessary to separate and discard the window film when the used carton body is discarded.

  The constituent material of the window film is not particularly limited. For example, plastics such as polyethylene, polypropylene, polyvinyl chloride, polyester, and polyvinyl alcohol; printing paper such as glassine paper, kraft paper, Kent paper, India paper, calligraphy paper, wrapping paper, Paper such as processed base paper; and the like can be suitably used. Further, as the plastic, a biodegradable plastic may be used.

  The window film includes any of a transparent film, a translucent film, an opaque film, and a colored film. Moreover, the film on which the character, the pattern, etc. were printed may be sufficient. The shape of the window film may be any shape as long as the opening of the carton body can be covered. However, since an oblong shape is widely used as the shape of the opening, it is preferable to use a rectangular window film 12 as shown in FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the outlets 15 </ b> A and 15 </ b> B are cuts (slits) penetrating the window film 12 in the thickness direction. Sanitary paper such as tissue paper stored in the internal space of the carton body 20 is drawn out of the carton body 20 through the slit-shaped outlets 15A and 15B.

  The window film is attached to the inside of the carton body by an adhesive portion, for example. The adhesive portion can be formed by, for example, an adhesive, a double-sided tape, heat fusion, or the like. Usually, the bonding portion is arranged in an annular shape surrounding the opening. “Annular” means a shape in which lines are continuously connected so as to divide a certain area, and not only a shape in which one curve is continuously connected but also a number of straight lines are continuously connected. Includes tied shapes. Specific examples include a substantially rectangular shape, a substantially oval shape, an oval shape, a rectangular shape, a rhombus shape, and a polygonal shape.

[1-2] Sanitary paper bundle:
As shown in FIG. 3, two sets of sanitary paper bundles 35 </ b> A and 35 </ b> B each composed of a plurality of sanitary papers are housed in the internal space of the carton body 20 of the sanitary paper-containing carton 1 of the present embodiment. . There are no particular restrictions on the types of sanitary paper that make up these sanitary paper bundles 35A, 35B. For example, tissue paper (what is called facial paper, decorative paper, etc.), dust paper, paper towels (kitchen paper, etc.), toilet paper ( Non-roll), disposable paper such as Watting (for example, paper pulp technology handbook 5th edition, see page 459, issued on January 30, 1992, edited and published by the Paper Pulp Technology Association) be able to.

  Among them, one sanitary paper is folded and folded with the other sanitary paper sandwiched between the folded parts, thereby forming a sanitary paper bundle having a laminated structure in which a plurality of sanitary papers are continuously laminated. It is preferable to store in the internal space of the carton body. In such a stack of sanitary paper, when the uppermost sanitary paper is taken out, a part of the sanitary paper of the next layer that is sandwiched between them protrudes from the outlet, and the sanitary paper can be easily taken out. There is an advantage (so-called pop-up method).

  In addition, since two sets of sanitary paper bundles are stored in the carton body of the sanitary paper carton according to the present invention, the types of sanitary paper constituting each of the two sets of sanitary paper bundles are different from each other. It is also preferable to do. For example, the sanitary paper constituting one sanitary paper bundle is a normal tissue paper, and the sanitary paper constituting one sanitary paper bundle is a lotion tissue. This makes it possible to use sanitary paper suitable for two types of applications at the same time by simply placing a single carton body in the room, etc., improving convenience and keeping the room organized. Contribute. Further, the color and shape of the sanitary paper constituting each of the two sets of sanitary paper bundles can be made different from each other. In this case, it is preferable because variations in design are abundant.

[1-3] Design elements:
As shown in FIG. 1, a design element 25 is represented on the front surface 6A of the carton 1 with sanitary paper of the present embodiment. This design element 25 is combined with two sanitary papers 5A and 5B, each part of which is drawn out from the two outlets 15A and 15B to the outside of the carton body 20, thereby forming a single design as a whole. It can be done.

  There are no particular restrictions on the types of design elements that appear on the front of the carton body, as long as they can be combined with two sanitary papers drawn from the outlet to form a single design. . Specific examples of the design element include an animal face like the design element 25 shown in FIGS.

  When an animal's face is represented as a design element, the two sanitary papers drawn from the outlet correspond to both ears of the animal. In addition, it is also preferable to display a pattern representing both ears of an animal on a sanitary paper because it is possible to provide a carton with sanitary paper having a more excellent design. In addition, the bottom of the carton body, the pair of wives, and the back can each represent a design corresponding to the design elements shown on the front. Is preferable because it becomes visible. In addition, when the design element shown on the front is an animal face, the equivalent to “design corresponding to the design element shown on the front” is the side or back of the animal's face. .

[1-4] Design flap part:
A design flap portion 36 is connected to the front surface 6A of the sanitary paper-containing carton 1 shown in FIGS. The design flap portion 36 has a design relationship with the design element 25 imitating the face of an animal represented on the front surface 6A, and corresponds to the tongue or mouth of the animal. As shown in FIG. 5, the design flap portion 36 forms an arc-shaped cut line 50 on the bottom surface 4 of the carton blank 100, and presses the cut line 50 when using a carton containing sanitary paper. And can be formed by folding back part of the bottom surface 4 pushed out in the shape of a tongue piece toward the front surface 6A.

  By forming such a design flap, the design of the design elements (animal faces) shown on the front surface will be more excellent, and there will be more design variations and animal designs. Therefore, there is an advantage that taste and entertainment are further improved.

  In addition, the design flap part as described above is not limited to one formed by folding a part of the bottom surface to the front side, for example, a part of the wife surface, the back surface, or the top surface to the front side. It may be formed by folding.

[2] Manufacturing method of sanitary paper-filled carton:
