Description

  The present invention relates to a toilet roll product in which a toilet roll is stored in a storage box.

Toilet rolls in the form of rolls of strip-like water-degradable sanitary thin paper are well known. Since this toilet roll is a consumable item and needs to be always provided, it is commercially available as a set of about 4 to 12 rolls.
And since the toilet roll is a bulky product and a relatively large number is sold as a set as described above, a film package with a handle is provided so that it can be taken home without any new packaging after purchase. Commercially available in the form.
In addition, toilet rolls are mainly sold in home centers and supermarkets with a lot of product display space because 4 to 12 rolls and a large number of sets are packaged and sold.
However, in recent years, so-called convenience stores have become widespread, and coupled with an increase in the number of elderly people and changes in lifestyles of young people living alone, there has been an increasing demand for purchasing toilet paper, which is a daily necessities, at such convenience stores.
However, conventional toilet roll products are not suitable for sales in small stores such as convenience stores, and various inconveniences arise.
For example, (1) In a convenience store, compared with a supermarket or a home center, a space in a merchandise display shelf is narrow, and it is difficult to display a product in which a large number of conventional 4 to 12 rolls are set. In addition, (2) convenience stores often purchase small items that can fit in so-called plastic bags, but conventional products are not considered to be purchased with such small items. (3) Furthermore, in particular, young women who seem to have many opportunities to use convenience stores may feel resistance to take home with a large amount of toilet paper exposed. (4) On the other hand, in recent toilet rolls, various designs with various designs printed thereon are commercially available, and such designs are required to be easily visible. (5) Moreover, in elderly people, many bulky rolls may cause difficulty in bringing back the packaging. (6) In addition, in households with a small number of people per household, if there are many rolls like conventional products, it takes a long time to consume many, and it must be stored for a long time after opening. There is. (7) Furthermore, such long-term storage is not particularly suitable in terms of space and hygiene in order to store in a unit bath or the like that is commonly used in one-room apartments. (8) Moreover, the conventional film packaging product does not look good because the remaining part of the film is crumpled when some of the product is taken out after opening.
Thus, the product form in which the conventional 4 to 12 rolls are film-wrapped as described above has various problems in the spread of convenience stores and various lifestyles.

Next, an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to FIGS.
The present invention is a toilet roll product X1 in which a plurality of toilet rolls R are stored inside a storage box 1. This will be specifically described below.
The storage box 1 in which the toilet roll R according to the present invention is stored has hollow holes 21 and 22 for constituting internal viewing windows 2 and 2 for visually checking the toilet roll R stored in the front surface 11 and the side surface 12. And a box body 10 having a tearing perforation line 41 for forming a take-out opening for the toilet roll R on the back surface 13, and a transparent for covering the hollow holes 21 and 22 from the inside of the box body to form an internal viewing window 2. Films 31 and 32 are provided.

  The box body 20 forms an outline of the storage box X1, and the size, shape, developed shape, and the like can adopt appropriate configurations.

  As the shape, a rectangular parallelepiped shape having substantially a bottom surface, a front surface, a top surface, a back surface, and a side surface can be exemplified as illustrated. The term “substantially” means that one surface is provided for convenience without considering the internal viewing window 2. However, the shape of the storage box 1 is not limited to the rectangular parallelepiped shape, and may be a cylindrical shape, a polygonal column shape, or the like. Of course, the shape of the storage box (box main body) is not limited to such a simple three-dimensional shape, and may be a shape having design as appropriate, for example, as shown in FIG. Such a design-like shape makes it a product that will motivate customers to purchase, and is excellent in compatibility with the interior when storing products at home. In addition, it is used in various small stores such as convenience stores. There is an advantage that the purchase target person can easily find the product.

  However, it is desirable that at least the bottom surface is a flat surface from the viewpoint of product display, and it is desirable that the top surface is also a flat surface in that the products are stacked. In particular, the preferred shape is a rectangular parallelepiped shape that has a relatively simple structure, is ready for manufacture, and does not take up product display space even when the side surfaces are arranged adjacent to each other, and is excellent in compactness.

  As the structure of the storage box itself, such as a developed shape, for example, a hexahedron, although not shown, the front surface 11, the back surface 13, and the side surfaces 12, 12 connecting these, and both sides of the side surfaces 12, 12 are shown. It has a side face piece (not shown) connected to the edge, a front piece and a bottom piece (not shown) connected to the upper and lower edges of the front face 10 and the back face 13, and the side face piece is folded back to the inner surface of the box. Then, a structure in which the top surface 14 and the bottom surface 15 are configured by folding the front piece and the bottom piece and bonding the contact portions of each piece with a hot melt adhesive or the like can be exemplified. In addition, the formation method of the top | upper surface 14 and the bottom face 15 is not limited to this. A known package structure can be adopted as the structure of the storage box. The size of the storage box 1 is appropriately set according to the size of the toilet roll.

On the other hand, a cutout hole 21 for forming the internal viewing window 2 is formed in the front surface 11 of the box body 10 as described above. This cut-out hole 21 can be appropriately sized according to the number and size of toilet paper to be stored. As an example, if it is about 10-70% of the area of the front surface 11 and about 25-185 cm < ² >, it will be excellent in visibility and it will become easy to ensure intensity | strength.

  The rectangular shape is desirable as shown in the example because it is easy to secure strength and the viewing range is wide, but other shapes such as a circular shape and a star shape can be used.

  On the other hand, in the form of the illustrated example, a cutout hole 22 for forming the internal visual recognition window 2 is also formed in the side faces 12 and 12 as a preferred form. The shape and size of the cut-out hole 22 can also be determined as appropriate. It should be noted that the shape and size of the cut-out holes on the front and side surfaces are not necessarily the same. Also. It may be provided only in one of the cutout holes and the side surfaces of the side surface 12, or may have a different shape and size on both side surfaces.

  On the other hand, a tear perforation line 41 for forming an opening for taking out the stored toilet roll R is formed on the back surface 15 of the box body 10. A shaped sealing piece 40 and an opening are formed.

  More specifically, in the illustrated embodiment, a straight fold line 42 parallel to the edge of the bottom surface 15, two parallel perforation lines 41 </ b> A and 41 </ b> A from both ends of the fold line toward the bottom surface, and these perforation lines. A substantially U-shaped perforation line for tearing is arranged by a perforation line 41 </ b> B connecting the both ends. By tearing the substantially U-shaped perforation line, a hinge lid-like sealing piece 40 having the folding line 42 as a hinge is formed, and an opening is formed in the box body 10. The perforation line for tearing is not limited to the substantially U-shape in the illustrated example, and may be, for example, a similar baseball type, an arch type, or the like. However, the folding line 42 serving as a hinge does not necessarily have to be parallel to the bottom surface 15. Further, the specific length of the perforation line 41, the specific length and position of the crease are appropriately set according to the size and number of toilet rolls R to be stored. However, it is desirable that the folding line 42 serving as a hinge is located on the top surface 14 side with respect to the perforation line 41 as illustrated. When the hinge lid-shaped sealing piece 40 is formed, the bottom surface 15 side of the sealing piece 40 becomes the free side, and when stored after opening, dust and dust can be effectively prevented from entering from above.

  On the other hand, in the present invention, as shown in the illustrated example, a finger insertion portion 43 is formed at a substantially central portion of the perforation line 41B parallel to the bottom surface to make the perforation line 41 more easily cleaved.

  In addition, in the storage box X1 of the present invention, in order to allow the product to be suspended, a short strip-shaped product suspending means 50 having a hole 51 for hooking on the display hook is provided. The suspending means 50 of this embodiment can be formed by providing a hole 51 in a short belt-like film sheet or paperboard and attaching a part of the hole 51 to the back surface. Further, the suspending means can be formed by cutting a part of the back surface into a U-shape toward the bottom surface side and folding the piece formed thereby back to the top surface side. Of course, it is good also as a hanging means by sticking a strip | belt-shaped film sheet and a string on the top | upper surface and the upper part of a back surface.

Here, the box main body 10 of the present invention is formed of a known paperboard material mainly made of various pulps such as virgin pulp and waste paper pulp. The paperboard in that it can ensure the rigidity, preferably a basis weight 250~500g / m ^2, preferably a coated cardboard 350~400g / m ^2. An appropriate pattern or the like may be arranged on the outer surface of the box body 10.

  On the other hand, in the storage box 1 according to the present invention, as described above, the transparent films 31 and 32 that cover the hollow hole 21 from the inside of the box body 10 are arranged to constitute the internal viewing windows 2 and 2. . The transparent films 31 and 32 are, for example, resin films, and can be attached to the periphery of the cut-out hole by thermocompression bonding, heat fusion, or adhesive.

  Here, the material of the transparent films 31 and 32 is not limited. For example, a known resin film such as a polypropylene film sheet, a polyethylene film sheet, a polyvinyl alcohol film sheet, a polyethylene terephthalate film sheet, and an acrylic film sheet. Sheets can be used.

  Preferably, it has high smoothness, excellent adhesion to paperboard, and is highly transparent and excellent in the visibility of invariant information printed on the paperboard, and also has a durability effect, and it is difficult to generate harmful gases during incineration disposal. Moreover, it is an inexpensive polypropylene film sheet. Among them, biaxially stretched so-called OPP is particularly suitable than non-stretched so-called CPP because it has excellent adhesion to paperboard.

  Although it does not specifically limit about the thickness of the transparent films 31 and 32, It is desirable that it is 20-45 micrometers. If the thickness is less than 20 μm, the strength is insufficient and there is a risk of breakage, and if it exceeds 45 μm, only the cost increases.

Moreover, about transparency of the transparent films 31 and 32, it is desirable that it is haze value 1-15%. If it is less than 1%, the film is too thin and easily torn, or the film becomes too expensive to be suitable, and if it exceeds 15%, the visibility of the contents such as colors will deteriorate.
In addition, in the transparent films 31 and 32, since it is excellent in the designability, it may be colored, or appropriate printing may be performed.

  On the other hand, in the toilet roll product X1 according to the present invention, as a storing form of the toilet roll R, preferably, two or three toilet rolls R and R are stored in terms of compactness which is an effect of the present invention. Is desirable. Further, the toilet rolls R, R are preferably arranged in such a manner that the peripheral surfaces are in contact with each other and are stored in such a manner that the peripheral surfaces face the internal viewing window.

  When stored in this way, the toilet roll R is visually recognized from the internal visual recognition window 2 in the same state as the actual installation mode on the front, and the product can be viewed without any sense of incongruity by the purchaser. In addition, when the toilet roll R is provided with an emboss or pattern, the product image in the installed state is particularly easily grasped.

  Furthermore, when the internal viewing window 2 is provided in both the front surface 11 and the side surface 12 in the storage box 1 as shown in the figure, the peripheral surface and the end surface of the toilet roll R Can be visually confirmed, so that it can be purchased after confirming that there is no defect in the stored product and what the winding diameter is.

  In consideration of such a storage form, the height and distance between the side surfaces of the box body (storage box) 10 and the depth are appropriately adjusted according to the roll shape and the number of rolls. As an example of the specific size of the storage box 10 in the case where two rolls are stored in two upper and lower stages so that the peripheral surfaces are in contact with each other as described above, the distance between the inner surfaces of the storage box 10 is An appropriate clearance is provided in the width (distance between end faces) of the toilet roll R, specifically 85 to 140 mm, preferably about 105 to 120 mm. The internal height has an appropriate clearance with respect to the diameter x 2 of the toilet roll R, and is compact and enjoys the advantages of product display. Specifically, the height is about 150 to 270 mm, preferably 200 to 240 mm. It is desirable to set the degree. When the range is exceeded, the toilet roll R freely moves in the storage box, and the toilet roll is brought into contact with the inner surface of the box at the time of transportation and carrying, and the possibility that the toilet roll becomes fluffed or damaged is increased.

  Note that the clearance between the toilet roll and the inner surface of the box in the case of taking a form in which the end surfaces are stacked in two stages so that the end faces are adjacent and stored in the storage box is also described above. It is desirable to make it the same as the range.
