Japanese Patent No. 3088777 Japanese Patent No. 4776996

  As described above, a container for a general wet tissue product has only a function of storing a previously wetted tissue and making it possible to take it out one by one. Therefore, the user of the product cannot freely select the liquid to be impregnated into the tissue. For example, many liquids to be impregnated contain ethanol as a main component in water for disinfection and sterilization, but for users with weak skin, such as elderly people and infants, it is too irritating to cause skin problems. There are many things to cause. In addition, there are users who do not use antiseptics or moisturizers for the skin, which are subcomponents or additives, for the skin. Alternatively, some users want to use a wet tissue with a favorite scent. Thus, there is a desire to use a wet tissue impregnated with a desired liquid for both the main component and the subcomponent.

  In view of the above situation, the present invention provides a wet tissue container that can be used as a wet tissue after impregnating a liquid desired by a user into a dry tissue contained in the container, and a product thereof. The purpose is to provide.

  To achieve the above object, the present invention provides the following configurations. The numbers in parentheses are reference numerals in the drawings to be described later, and are attached for reference.

  One aspect of the present invention is a wet tissue container (1) with a wetting function, a container main body (10) capable of accommodating a tissue (90, 80), and 1 or 2 provided in the container main body (10). A plurality of spray containers (30), wherein the spray containers (30) are filled with one or more components of the liquid (L) to be impregnated into the contained tissues (90, 80) and the tissues ( 90, 80), and can be manually operated from the outside of the container body (10) in order to inject the liquid (L).

  In the above aspect, a pair of guide grooves (62) extending in the vertical direction on the inner surfaces of the two opposite side walls of the container body (10), and both ends along the pair of guide grooves (62) And a detachable rod-like support member (50) mounted so that the portion can be moved up and down, and when the roll-shaped tissue (90) is accommodated, the rod-like support member (50) is formed of the roll-shaped tissue (90). It is preferable to be mounted in a state of penetrating on the shaft.

  In the above aspect, when the folded tissue (80) is accommodated, the folded tissue (80) can be accommodated between the two side walls facing each other without mounting the rod-like support member (50). Is preferable.

  In the above aspect, when the foldable tissue (80) is accommodated, it is preferable that the foldable tissue (80) can be accommodated between two opposite side walls of the container body (10). .

  Another aspect of the present invention is a wet tissue comprising the wet tissue container (1) with a wet function according to any one of the above and a dry tissue (90, 80) accommodated in the wet tissue container. It is a product.

  In the present invention, the container body of the wet tissue container is provided with one or a plurality of spray containers filled with a liquid to be impregnated into the tissue, and the spray of the spray container is configured to be manually operable from the outside of the container body. A desired liquid can be sprayed onto a dry tissue to make it wet and then used as a wet tissue.

  Each of the plurality of spray containers can be filled with a different liquid and some of them can be selected and sprayed onto the tissue. Thereby, the component of the liquid impregnated in the wet tissue can be changed according to the user's desire. For example, if the first spray container is filled with water, the second spray container is filled with high-concentration alcohol, and the third spray container is filled with aroma oil, only water, only high-concentration alcohol, water and aroma It becomes possible to spray by changing the combination of liquids such as oil, high-concentration alcohol and aroma oil. Moreover, if both water and high concentration alcohol are injected, it can also be used by reducing the alcohol concentration.

  In addition, fragrance components such as aroma oil almost disappear when the time has elapsed since jetting.For example, if aroma oils with different scents are filled in a plurality of spray containers, the scents differ from day to day. Can be used by spraying. It is also possible to blend aroma by simultaneously spraying aroma oils in a plurality of spray containers.

  Further, for example, in the case of a component (medicine or the like) that deteriorates after a long time in a state of being mixed with water, conventionally, it was necessary to add a preservative, but in the present invention, a spray filled with water. The component can be filled in a spray container different from the container, and water and the component can be jetted and mixed immediately before use.

  A wet tissue container provided with a rod-shaped support member for accommodating a roll-shaped tissue can accommodate a folded tissue unless the rod-shaped support member is attached. Therefore, one wet tissue container can be used for both shapes of tissue.

  Not only the tissue but also the liquid in the spray container can be easily refilled, so it can be used for various purposes.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings showing examples.
FIG. 1 is an external perspective view showing an example of a wet tissue container according to the present invention. In this figure, a rolled tissue is stored in a wet tissue container.
FIG. 2 is a plan view of the wet tissue container of FIG. 1 with the lid removed.
FIG. 3 is a front cross-sectional development view of the axis of the roll-shaped tissue in the wet tissue container of FIG.

  A wet tissue container 1 shown in FIG. 1 includes a sealable container main body 10 for accommodating a roll-shaped tissue 90, and has a characteristic configuration inside thereof. In FIG. 1, only the external shape of the container main body 10 is shown, and only a part of the internal configuration is indicated by a dotted line. Moreover, the roll-shaped tissue 90 accommodated in the inside is also shown by a dotted line, and shows how the roll end portion 91a is taken out during use. The roll-shaped tissue 90 accommodated in the container main body 10 is not impregnated with liquid before the start of use and is in a dry state, and is impregnated by being ejected with liquid when used. The term “impregnation” in the present specification means that a liquid is supplied to a tissue in a sprayed state so that the liquid is impregnated into a gap between the fibers of the tissue to make the tissue wet or wet.

  The container body 10 of the wet tissue container 1 is composed of a lower bottomed container 11 and an upper lid 12. The bottomed container 11 and the lid 12 are connected and fixed by appropriate detachable connection means (see reference numerals 11a and 12c in FIG. 3) such as a concave and convex insertion type, and a sealed space is formed inside the container body 10. It is formed. The container body 10 is typically a substantially rectangular parallelepiped as illustrated, but may have other shapes as long as it can form an internal structure described later. The material of the container body 10 is generally plastic.

  A roll-shaped tissue 90 in FIG. 1 is composed of a relatively hard cylindrical core tube 92 (see FIGS. 2 and 3) and a tissue material 91 wound on the core tube 92. In addition, there are some which are configured only by the tissue material 91 without the core tube. The material of the tissue material 91 is preferably the same as that of a conventional wet tissue. For example, a thick and soft texture poorly water-soluble nonwoven fabric in which synthetic fiber is formed into a sheet is suitable.

  The roll-shaped tissue 90 is loaded with its axis oriented horizontally. In order to support the loaded roll-shaped tissue 90 so as to be movable in the vertical direction, the rod-like support member 50 penetrates the core tube 92 in the axial direction. Both end portions of the rod-like support member 50 are movable in the vertical direction along each of the pair of guide grooves 62 and 62. Each of the pair of guide grooves 62, 62 extends in the vertical direction on the inner surfaces of the two opposite side walls of the container body 10. In the illustrated example, one guide groove 62 is formed as a gap between two guide plate members 61a and 61b having a predetermined thickness. The rod-like support member 50 can be taken out from the upper ends of the pair of guide grooves 62 and 62.

  As shown in the figure, the roll-shaped tissue 90 has a radially outer roll end portion 91a taken out. For this purpose, a single outlet 12 a is formed in the lid 12. When the roll end portion 91a exposed to the outside is pulled from the take-out port 12a, the tissue material 91 rotates around the axis. By pulling the roll end portion 91a, the entire roll-shaped tissue 90 is pulled upward, and the rod-shaped support member 50 is raised along the guide groove 62. At this time, the length of the guide groove 62 is sufficiently secured so that the rod-like support member 50 does not come out from the upper end of the guide groove 62. As the roll-shaped tissue 90 is used, it gradually becomes smaller and lighter, so that it easily protrudes from the guide groove 62 when pulled. In order to avoid this, it is preferable that the rod-like support member 50 is made of metal or the like and has a weight function.

  The tissue material 91 is preliminarily formed with separation lines 91b at predetermined intervals. Immediately after the parting line 91b comes out of the takeout port 12a, the part is separated at the parting line 91b by the frictional resistance between the tissue material 91 and the takeout port 12a. Thus, one rectangular tissue piece is obtained, and the roll end portion 91a for the next extraction is slightly exposed from the extraction port 12a. When not in use, the cover 12b of the outlet 12a is closed in order to keep the container body 10 sealed.

  Part of the three pump operation members 21 protrudes from the upper surface of the lid 12 of the container body 10. The pump operation member 21 passes through a cylindrical guide member 22 fitted in the lid 12 and can move in the vertical direction. The number of pump operating members 21 is the same as the number of spray containers loaded in the container body. At least one spray container is provided, and when a plurality of spray containers are provided, the number is not limited to three. The function of the pump operation member 21 will be described later.

  As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, three spray containers 30 are installed in the container body 10. The spray container 30 is disposed in a space adjacent to the roll-shaped tissue 90 in the container body 10. The spray port 31 c of the pump of the spray container 30 is disposed toward the roll-shaped tissue 90. In the illustrated example, each spray container 30 is removably loaded into a cylindrical spray container support cylinder 40. Each of the plurality of spray container support cylinders 40 is fixed at a predetermined position on the bottom surface of the bottomed container 11. In the illustrated example, the plurality of spray container support cylinders 40 are arranged in a line along the axial direction of the roll-shaped tissue 90, so that the position of the outer peripheral surface of the roll-shaped tissue 90 is also defined.

  Although at least one spray container 30 is provided, a plurality of spray containers are preferably provided. The plurality of spray containers 30 can be filled with different liquids (however, it does not exclude filling different spray containers with the same liquid). For example, one spray container may be filled with water as a main component, and the other spray containers may be filled with aroma oils having different scents. In the illustrated example, all the spray containers 30 have the same size. For example, a spray container filled with water as a main component has a larger capacity, and a spray filled with additives such as aroma oil and subcomponents. The capacity of the container may be reduced or may have different sizes. Furthermore, it is not always necessary to fill one spray container 30 with a pure component. For example, for a plurality of components that do not cause a problem even if they are mixed in advance, they may be mixed in advance to form a mixed liquid and then filled into one spray container.

  It is preferable to install the tray 70 on the bottom surface of the bottomed container 11 and place the roll-shaped tissue 90 thereon. The tray 70 is curved as shown in FIG. 4 described later, and stably supports the lowermost surface of the roll-shaped tissue 90. In addition, since excess liquid accumulates in the receiving tray 70, it is possible to prevent the liquid from leaking to the bottom surface of the bottomed container 11.

  When the piston top 31a of the pump of the spray container 30 comes into contact with the lower end 21a of the pump operating member 21 and is pushed from the pump operating member 21, the axis of the spray container 30 is stabilized without shifting laterally. In the illustrated example, a concave surface of a quadrangular pyramid is formed on the upper surface 31b of the piston top portion 31a, while a convex surface of a quadrangular pyramid is formed on the lower end 21a of the pump operating member 21 so as to be fitted to each other. The rotation around the axis of 31c is blocked (not shown, but the pump operating member 21 is blocked from rotating around the axis). The convex surface and the concave surface of the quadrangular pyramid are examples of shapes that match the central axes of both members, and are not limited thereto.

  4 and 5 are schematic longitudinal sectional views of the wet tissue container 1 shown in FIG. FIG. 4 shows a state where the piston of the pump of the spray container 30 provided inside the wet tissue container 1 is raised, and FIG. 5 shows a state where the piston is pushed down.

  In the present invention, the roll-shaped tissue 90 accommodated in the wet tissue container 1 is initially in a dry state, and one or a plurality of spray containers 30 loaded in the wet tissue container 1 are used when the product is used for the first time. Then, the desired liquid L is jetted onto the roll tissue 90 and impregnated with the liquid L. As a result, the tissue material 91 is wetted with the liquid L, that is, a so-called wet tissue state.

  As shown by a two-dot broken line in FIG. 4, when the tissue material 91 is taken out from the roll-shaped tissue 90 and used, the diameter gradually decreases to become a roll-shaped tissue 90 ′ and a tissue material 91 ′. The bar-like support member 50 is lowered to the position of the bar-like support member 50 ′. The roll-shaped tissue 90 'that has become lighter can easily protrude from the upper end of the guide groove 62 when the tissue material 91' is taken out, but the weight of the rod-shaped support member 50 'serves as a weight.

  The spray container 30 includes a liquid container 32 for filling the liquid L to be impregnated in the roll-shaped tissue 90 and a manual pump 31 for sucking the liquid L in the liquid container 32 and spraying the liquid L into the roll-shaped tissue 90. It is configured. The spray container 30 itself may be a known general liquid spray spray container, and FIGS. 4 and 5 show an example of the principle configuration. The upper surface opening 32a of the liquid container 32 and the cylinder outer wall 31m of the pump 31 are connected and fixed by appropriate connecting means, whereby the liquid container 32 is sealed and the pump 31 is attached to the liquid container 32.

  The pump 31 is composed of a piston and a cylinder. The piston includes a piston top 31a protruding from the upper part of the cylinder, a piston rod 31d extending through the upper wall of the cylinder into the cylinder, and a piston head 31g formed at the lower end of the piston rod 31b. The cylinder has an internal space partitioned by a partition into a lower piston chamber 31i and an upper elastic material chamber, and an elastic material 31f, typically a coil spring, is accommodated in the elastic material chamber.

  The piston head 31g moves up and down in the piston chamber 31i. A discharge valve 31h is provided on the lower surface of the piston head 31g. A liquid discharge flow path 31e is formed above the discharge valve 31h, and the other end of the discharge flow path 31e opens to an injection port 31c provided in the piston top portion 31a. The ejection port 31 c is disposed so as to be positioned above the roll-shaped tissue 90.

  A suction valve 31j is provided in the suction flow path extending downward from the bottom surface of the piston chamber 31L. A suction tube 31k is connected below the suction valve 31j, and its lower end extends to the bottom wall of the liquid container 32.

  The elastic material 31f functions as a return spring for the piston. When the piston is pushed down from the lifted state of FIG. 4 to the state of FIG. 5, the elastic material 31 f is compressed, but when the push-down force is released, the elastic return force of the elastic material 31 f causes the piston to return to the lifted state of FIG. 4. .

  FIG. 4 shows a state immediately after the piston is lifted, the suction valve 31j is opened, and the liquid L is sucked and filled in the piston chamber 31i. The discharge valve 31h is closed. Next, when the piston is pushed down to the state shown in FIG. 5, in the pushing-down process, the liquid L in the piston chamber 31i passes through the opened discharge valve 31h and is jetted from the jet port 31c through the discharge channel 31e. Thereby, the liquid L permeates the tissue material 91 of the roll-shaped tissue 90. Since the roll-shaped tissue 90 rotates and changes its position every time the tissue material 91 is taken out, the entire tissue material 91 can be impregnated with the liquid L by repeating the spraying an appropriate number of times.

  The piston of the pump 31 of the spray container 30 provided inside the wet tissue container 1 cannot be directly operated from the outside. For this purpose, a pump operating member 21 is provided. The pump operation member 21 includes a rod-shaped portion that penetrates the lid 12 and a flat operation portion formed at the upper end of the rod-shaped portion. At the lower end of the rod-shaped portion, a pressing surface 21 a that abuts on the upper surface 31 b of the piston top 31 a of the pump 31 is formed.

  FIG. 6 is a view showing another method of using the wet tissue container 1 shown in FIG. By removing the rod-like support member 50 from the wet tissue container 1 described above, the folded tissue 80 can be accommodated. The foldable tissue 80 is a conventionally known one, and the whole is a substantially rectangular parallelepiped. Even when the folded tissue 80 is accommodated, the method of using the spray container is the same. As described above, the wet tissue container 1 can be used for both the roll-shaped tissue 90 and the folded tissue 80.

FIG. 7 is an external perspective view showing another example of the wet tissue container according to the present invention.
The wet tissue container 2 shown in FIG. 7 is a container dedicated to the folding tissue 80. Therefore, there is no configuration for accommodating the roll tissue. That is, the difference from the wet tissue container 1 shown in FIGS. 1 to 6 is that the guide grooves 62 on the inner surfaces of the two side walls of the container body 10, the guide members 61 a and 61 b that form the guide grooves, and the guide grooves 61 move along the guide grooves. The bar-shaped support member 50 and the tray 70 are not provided. In order to accommodate the folded tissue 80, a substantially rectangular parallelepiped internal space is sufficient. About other structures, such as a spray container, it is the same as that of the wet tissue container 1 shown in FIGS.

  FIG. 8 is a schematic cross-sectional view showing an example of a process for filling a spray container with a liquid in the above-described wet tissue container.

  When the wet tissue product is used for the first time, or when the liquid is used up and replenished while using the wet tissue product, it is necessary to remove the lid of the wet tissue container, take out the spray container, and fill it with liquid.

  FIG. 8A shows the empty spray container 30 taken out. As shown in FIG. 8B, the pump 31 and the liquid container 32 of the spray container 30 are separated. The connection means of the connection fixing portions 31m and 32a is a well-known one that can be easily attached and detached, for example, by screwing or concavo-convex fitting, but it is possible to ensure hermeticity so that liquid does not leak. As shown in FIG. 8C, the liquid container 32 is filled with a desired liquid L. In addition, when refilling, you may fill with the liquid different from the liquid used last time. In that case, after the liquid container 32 is washed, a new liquid is filled. After filling the liquid, the reverse process is performed to assemble the spray container 30.

  As another example of a wet tissue container that accommodates a roll-shaped tissue, for example, a roll-shaped tissue is accommodated in a cylindrical container body with the axis of the roll-shaped tissue oriented vertically, and one or a plurality of spray containers are disposed in the roll-shaped tissue. A configuration arranged in the core tube or adjacent to the roll-shaped tissue is also included in the scope of the present invention.

  The above-described wet tissue container is usually manufactured and distributed as a “wet tissue product” containing a roll-shaped tissue or a folded tissue in a dry state. The one or more spray containers of the wet tissue product may initially be empty, or some or all of the spray containers may be filled with a suitable liquid. As with conventional wet tissue products, when the roll tissue or the folded tissue is used up, the refill tissue can be reloaded into the wet tissue container.
