Description

  The present invention relates to a container such as a wet tissue, and particularly relates to a container having an expanded function.

For example, a wet tissue containing alcohol or the like having a sterilizing effect is stored in a loosely sealed container in consideration of daily usability while preventing transpiration of alcohol components. Specifically, a wet tissue is stored in a roll-shaped state in a container body provided with a screw-fitted lid body above a cylindrical container body, and a single leaf in a weakened line when taken out. Used separately in a shape.
And this container has some subjects, such as the further improvement point in a manufacture distribution stage, or the improvement of the usability improvement at the time of use by a consumer.

First, in the manufacturing and distribution stage, the whole is covered with a heat-shrinkable shrink wrap film in order to protect the outer periphery of the container. This method requires a certain processing time to heat-shrink the wrap film at the time of manufacture, and it is inevitable even though there is a slight variation in shrink processing, and a yield rate of 100% cannot be achieved. Together, it was an impediment to improving production efficiency.
In addition, in the stock form at the store separately, there is a disadvantage due to the shape of the lid body of the container. That is, the lid body has a hinge structure with the lid lid being integrally formed with the lid body, so that the hinge portion is slightly protruded upward with respect to the lid top portion. . When the containers are displayed in a stacked manner due to the presence of the protruding hinge portion, the upper one is inclined as shown in an emphasized manner in FIG. 6, and a stable stacked state cannot be obtained. Of course, in practice, at a so-called mass retailer, the products are stacked and displayed in such a number that the products do not collapse due to the stacking, but the instability has not been solved.

  Also, when taking out the wet tissues one by one at the stage of use by the user, the stored wet tissues are continuous in a roll shape, and each single leaf has a shape that can be easily separated by a weakening line. However, it cannot be taken out by one-handed operation when taking out from the take-out section.
