Description

  The present invention relates to a wipe storage container and a wipe dispenser. In the present invention, the term “wipe” means a wiping material, and particularly refers to a flexible fiber sheet with a chemical solution, which has a function of wiping off unnecessary materials on a solid surface. For example, a wet tissue, body wash, makeup remover, toilet seat cleaner, etc.

  Wipe products in which a fiber sheet is impregnated with moisture, alcohol, or other chemicals such as wet tissues and wet sheets are used for various purposes such as cleaning and wiping. There are several types of storage forms for wipes impregnated with such a liquid. Conventionally known storage forms include, for example, a so-called bottle type in which a continuous long wipe connected through perforations is stored in a cylindrical plastic bottle, or a wipe stack in which a large number of wipes are stacked. There are so-called bag types in which the body is stored in a plastic film bag (for example, Patent Documents 1 and 2).

JP 2010-116200 A JP-A-9-156676

  In the bottle-type wipe dispenser described above, when the tip wipe connected to the subsequent wipe is pulled out of the bottle, only the most advanced wipe is separated at the perforation by the resistance force applied to the wipe. It is configured to be taken out as a single wipe. However, such a bottle-type wipe dispenser requires a considerable force to pull out the wipes one by one. Further, when the bottle-type wipe dispenser pulls out the wipe, it must hold the tip of the wipe with one hand and firmly hold the bottle with the other hand. Therefore, it takes time and effort to pull out the wipe, and it is difficult for the elderly and the like to use it.

  On the other hand, a bag-type wipe dispenser in which independent wipes are stacked for each sheet and stored in a plastic film bag does not require a force for pulling out the wipe compared to a bottle-type wipe dispenser. But you can take out the wipe. However, since the bag-type wipe dispenser is used by placing it sideways on a desktop or the like, it is not excellent in aesthetic impression or requires more space than the bottle type. In such a case, the wipe dispenser must be carried every time it is used. On the other hand, simply placing a bag-type wipe dispenser in a vertical orientation not only makes it difficult to open and close the lid, but when the lid is opened, the laminate of wipes stored inside may come out. In some cases, the user has to hold the tip of the wipe with one hand and pull out the wipe, and the other hand must keep the wipe stack from coming out. In addition, there are users who prefer a vertical wipe dispenser such as a bottle type that has been used in the past, and a bag type wipe dispenser has been unable to meet such user needs.

  The present invention has been made in view of such problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a wipe storage container and a wipe dispenser that can remarkably widen the usage patterns and are excellent in handleability.
