Description

  The present invention relates to a sheet dispenser and an attachment for the sheet dispenser.

  Sanitary thin papers such as industrial wipes (wipers) used in laboratories of companies, universities and research institutes are mainly housed in cartons (cardboard boxes). However, carton-type sanitary tissue paper has problems such as securing a storage space, disposing after use, and bulking when carrying.In recent years, demand for sanitary tissue paper stored in flexible film packaging bags has been increasing. Is growing.

  However, when the number of remaining sheets decreases during use, a large space is created between the film packaging bag and the sanitary thin paper in the film packaging bag, and the sheet falls into the film packaging bag. When taking out the sheet, there is a problem that the whole film packaging bag is lifted.

  To solve these problems, there is a technique for preventing the lifting of the film packaging bag when the sheet is taken out by taking out the sheet in a state where the film-packing type sanitary thin paper is housed in a dedicated dispenser (FIG. 11). , FIG. 12). In addition, there is a technique for preventing a sheet from falling even if the remaining amount of the sheet is reduced by providing a push-up mechanism such as a coil spring in a dispenser in which a film-packaged sanitary thin paper is stored (for example, Patent Document 1). And FIG. 13).

Utility Model Registration No. 3141190

  However, in the conventional dispenser, although the lifting of the film packaging bag is eliminated, the falling of the sheet cannot be sufficiently prevented, and there is a problem in the sheet takeout property. Further, in a sheet dispenser provided with a conventional push-up mechanism, although a sheet can be prevented from dropping into a film packaging bag, a coil spring or the like constituting the push-up mechanism is used when accommodating a film packaging type sanitary thin paper in the dispenser. A strong force is required to push down, and it is not easy to mount (or house) the wiper.

  An object of the present invention is to provide a sheet dispenser and a sheet dispenser attachment which are excellent in sheet takeout property and can easily accommodate a sheet laminate.

  According to a first aspect of the present invention, there is provided a sheet dispenser for housing the sheet stack so that the sheet can be pulled out from a sheet stack in which a plurality of sheets are stacked, wherein the sheet stack is housed. And a take-out unit for taking out the sheet pulled out of the sheet laminate, the main body unit is vertically opposed to the top surface on which the take-out unit is formed, and the top surface. A bottom surface on which the sheet laminate is placed, and a side surface connected to the top surface and the bottom surface. The side surface of the main body is opened so that the sheet laminate can be inserted into the main body. The sheet laminate is housed in the main body so that the stacking direction of the sheet laminate is the vertical direction, and at least one elastic projection is provided on the bottom surface of the main body. It has been made, to provide a sheet dispenser.

  In the present specification, "pulling out in a pop-up manner" means that sheets can be pulled out one by one (or one set at a time) from a sheet laminate. The opening of the side surface of the main body means that all or a part of the side surface of the main body is open. The elastic projection is a projection having elasticity or flexibility and projecting from the bottom surface of the main body. At least one elastic projection means that the number of elastic projections formed on the bottom surface is one or more.

  Before the sheet is pulled out (before the use of the sheet laminate), the sheet laminated body accommodated in the main body of the sheet dispenser has almost no gap between the top surface of the main body and the sheet laminated body, and the sheet is laminated. Maximum body weight. Also, in a state after some sheets are pulled out from the sheet laminate (during use of the sheet laminate), when the remaining sheets are reduced, a space is generated between the top surface of the main body and the sheet laminate. Thus, the weight of the sheet laminate is reduced.

  On the other hand, in the first embodiment, at least one elastic projection is provided on the bottom surface of the main body. Accordingly, before the use of the sheet laminate, the elastic protrusions provided on the bottom surface are crushed by the weight of the sheet laminate in a state where the sheet laminate is housed in the main body. In addition, during use of the sheet laminate, the weight of the sheet laminate decreases as the number of remaining sheets decreases, and the crushed elastic protrusions gradually return to the original state (restore), and the sheet is laminated by the elastic protrusions. The body is pushed up to the top.

  With such a configuration, in the first aspect, the sheet laminate accommodated in the main body is pressed vertically between the bottom surface provided with the elastic projections and the top surface, so that the sheet laminate is stably placed in the sheet dispenser. Will be accommodated. Therefore, according to the first mode, sheets can be taken out one by one until the end.

  Further, in the first mode, even when the remaining amount of the sheet decreases during use of the sheet laminate, the sheet laminate is pushed up to the top surface side by the elastic projections that attempt to return to the original state. A large space hardly occurs between the top surface of the sheet and the sheet laminate. Therefore, according to the first aspect, it is possible to prevent the sheet from falling into the dispenser. That is, according to the first aspect, it is possible to provide a sheet dispenser excellent in takeout property.

  Furthermore, in the first aspect, since the elastic projections provided on the bottom surface are crushed by the accommodated sheet laminate, when the sheet laminate is accommodated in the dispenser, a strong force is not applied to the sheet laminate. Can be accommodated. Therefore, according to the first aspect, it is possible to provide a sheet dispenser that can easily accommodate the sheet stack.

  Further, in the first aspect, since the opening that allows the sheet laminate to be inserted into the main body portion is formed on the side surface of the main body portion, the sheet laminate is horizontally inserted into the main body portion from the side surface of the main body portion. By simply doing so, the sheet laminate can be accommodated in the main body. Therefore, according to the first aspect, the operation of housing the sheet stack in the dispenser becomes easy.

  A second aspect according to the present invention provides a sheet dispenser, wherein the sheet laminate is packaged in a packaging bag having the outlet so that the sheet can be pulled out through a slit-shaped outlet. In the sheet dispenser in which the elastic projection is formed on the bottom surface of the main body as described above, the sheet of the sheet laminate is easily deformed when the sheet laminate is inserted from the side surface of the main body.

  On the other hand, in the second aspect, the sheet laminate is packaged in such a packaging bag (hereinafter, referred to as a sheet package) and accommodated in the main body from the side surface of the main body, whereby the sheet laminate is formed. Of the sheet can be prevented. Therefore, according to the second aspect, the operation of housing the sheet stack in the dispenser is further facilitated.

  Further, the sheet package housed in the main body of the sheet dispenser has almost no gap between the packaging bag and the sheet laminate in the packaging bag before the sheet is pulled out (before use of the sheet package). In addition, the weight of the sheet package is maximized. In addition, in a state after some sheets are pulled out (during use of the sheet package), when the number of sheets in the package decreases, a space is generated between the package and the sheet laminate in the package, The weight of the sheet package is reduced.

  On the other hand, in the second aspect, since the elastic projections are provided on the bottom surface of the main body as described above, the sheet package is stored in the main body before use of the sheet package. The elastic projection provided on the bottom surface is crushed by the weight of the package. In addition, during use of the sheet package, as the number of sheets in the packaging bag decreases, the weight of the sheet package decreases, and the crushed elastic projection gradually returns to its original state (restores). The sheet package is pushed up to the top side.

  With such a configuration, in the second aspect, the sheet package housed in the main body is pressed vertically between the bottom surface provided with the elastic projections and the top surface, so that the sheet package body is dispensed with the sheet dispenser. It is stably housed inside. Therefore, according to the second aspect, it is possible to prevent the packaging bag from being lifted when the sheet is taken out.

  Further, in the second aspect, even when the remaining amount of sheets in the packaging bag becomes small during use of the sheet packaging body, the sheet packaging body is pushed up to the top surface side by the elastic projections that try to return to the original state. Therefore, a large space is not easily generated between the packaging bag and the sheet laminate in the packaging bag. Therefore, according to the second aspect, it is possible to prevent the sheet from falling into the packaging bag. That is, according to the second aspect, even when the sheet package is housed in the dispenser, it is possible to provide a sheet dispenser excellent in takeout property.

  Further, in the second aspect, the elastic projection provided on the bottom surface is crushed by the accommodated sheet package, so that when the sheet package is accommodated in the dispenser, a strong force is not applied to the sheet package. Can be accommodated. Therefore, according to the second aspect, it is possible to provide a sheet dispenser that can easily accommodate a sheet package.

  A third aspect according to the present invention provides a sheet dispenser, wherein the elastic projection is inclined in a direction in which the sheet package is inserted into the main body from the opening. In the third aspect, when the sheet package is inserted into the main body through the opening that opens on the side surface of the main body, the elastic projection is inclined (or falls down) in a direction (insertion direction) in which the sheet package is inserted. Therefore, according to the third aspect, even when the sheet package is inserted from the side surface of the main body into the sheet dispenser having the elastic projection provided on the bottom surface of the main body, the sheet package can be smoothly inserted. .

  A fourth aspect according to the present invention provides a sheet dispenser, wherein a tip of the elastic projection is curved in a convex shape. In the present specification, the term “convexly curved” means that the tip of the elastic projection has an arc shape, a part of a spherical surface, or a shape similar thereto.

  In the fourth aspect, the tip of the elastic projection formed on the bottom surface of the main body is convexly curved in this manner, so that the contact area between the bottom surface of the sheet package and the elastic projection is reduced. Thereby, when the sheet package is inserted from the side surface of the main body, the frictional resistance generated between the lower surface of the sheet package and the elastic projection can be reduced. Therefore, according to the fourth aspect, when inserting the sheet package from the side surface of the main body, the sheet package can be more smoothly inserted.

  A fifth aspect according to the present invention provides a sheet dispenser in which three or more of the elastic projections extend toward the top surface. In the fifth mode, since three or more elastic projections are formed on the bottom surface of the main body, the three or more elastic projections reduce the remaining amount of sheets in the packaging bag and return to the original state. When doing so, the sheet package can be pushed up to the top side in a well-balanced manner.

  Further, in the fifth aspect, the elastic projection extending toward the top surface is provided on the bottom surface of the main body, so that the elastic package that is going to return to the original state allows the sheet packaging body to be moved in the vertical direction. It is pushed up to the surface side. Therefore, according to the fifth aspect, it is possible to prevent a large space from being generated between the upper surface of the packaging bag and the upper surface of the sheet laminate, and it is possible to reliably prevent the sheet from falling into the packaging bag. .

  The size of the substrate 51 constituting the elastic member 50 is not particularly limited, but is, for example, 85% or more, preferably 90% or more, more preferably 95% or more with respect to the area of the bottom surface 12 of the main body 10. It is. The thickness of the substrate 51 is not particularly limited, but is, for example, 15% or less, preferably 10% or less, more preferably 5% with respect to the distance between the top surface 11 and the bottom surface 12 of the main body 10. It is as follows.

  Also, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 6, the elastic projections 52 of the main body 10 are tilted in a direction (insertion direction ID) in which the sheet package 40 is inserted into the main body 10 from the opening 30. It is provided on the bottom surface 12. Thus, in the present embodiment, when the sheet package 40 is inserted into the main body 10 from the opening 30 that opens in the side surface 16 of the main body 10, the elastic projection 52 is inclined in the direction in which the sheet package 40 is inserted. (Or fall). The elastic projection 52 falls down in the insertion direction ID in a state where the sheet package 40 is accommodated in the main body 10 (see FIG. 6), and in a state where the sheet package 40 is not accommodated in the main body 10. As described above, it stands on the substrate 51 toward the top surface 11 (see FIG. 1).

  Further, as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the elastic projection 52 has a distal end 52b that is curved in a convex shape. Here, being curved in a convex shape means that the tip 52b of the elastic projection 52 has a part of an arc or a spherical surface or a shape similar thereto. In the present embodiment, the elastic projection 52 has a substantially cylindrical base 52a and a hemispherical tip 52b. In addition, the elastic projection 52 is not limited to this shape. For example, the elastic projection 52 may be formed in an arch shape and the tip may be curved in an arc shape.

  Hereinafter, effects obtained from the present embodiment will be described. 7 to 10 are views showing the use state of the sheet dispenser according to the present embodiment. In the present embodiment, in a state where the sheet package body 40 is not accommodated in the main body 10, the elastic projections 52 formed on the bottom surface 12 of the main body 10 as described above (FIG. 7).

  Further, the sheet package 40 housed in the main body 10 of the sheet dispenser 100 is in a state before the sheet 42 is pulled out (before use of the sheet package 40) and the package bag 41 and the sheet laminate in the package 41. There is almost no gap between 43, and the weight of the sheet package 40 is maximized (see FIG. 8). Further, in a state after some of the sheets 42 are pulled out (in use of the sheet package 40), when the number of the sheets 42 in the packaging bag 41 decreases, the packaging bag 41 and the sheet laminate 43 are formed in the packaging bag 41. A space is created between them, and the weight of the sheet package 40 is reduced (see FIGS. 9 and 10).

  On the other hand, in the present embodiment, as described above, at least one elastic projection 52 is provided on the bottom surface 12 of the main body 10 (see FIGS. 1 and 7). Thus, before the use of the sheet package 40, the elastic protrusions 52 provided on the bottom surface 12 are crushed by the weight of the sheet package 40 while the sheet package 40 is housed in the main body 10 (FIG. 6, see FIG. 8). During use of the sheet package 40, the weight of the sheet package 40 decreases as the number of sheets 42 in the packaging bag 41 decreases, and the crushed elastic projections 52 gradually return to the original state (restore). Then, the sheet package 40 is pushed up toward the top surface 11 by the elastic projection 52 (see FIGS. 9 and 10).

  With such a configuration, in the present embodiment, the sheet package 40 accommodated in the main body 10 is pressed in the vertical direction (Z direction) between the bottom surface 12 provided with the elastic projections 52 and the top surface 11. Therefore, the sheet package 40 is stably accommodated in the sheet dispenser 100 (FIGS. 8 to 10). Therefore, according to the present embodiment, lifting of the packaging bag 41 when removing the sheet 42 can be prevented.

  Further, in the present embodiment, even if the remaining amount of the sheet 42 in the packaging bag 41 becomes small during use of the sheet packaging body 40, the sheet packaging body 40 is returned to the original state by the elastic projection 52. It is pushed up to 11 side. Therefore, a large space does not occur between the packaging bag 41 and the sheet laminate 43 in the packaging bag 41 (FIGS. 9 and 10). Therefore, according to the present embodiment, it is possible to prevent the sheet 42 (the top sheet 42a) from falling into the packaging bag 41 (see FIG. 10). That is, according to the present embodiment, it is possible to provide the sheet dispenser 100 having excellent takeout properties.

  Further, in the present embodiment, when the sheet package 40 is accommodated in the dispenser 100, the sheet package 40 is crushed by the accommodated sheet package 40, so that the sheet package 40 can be accommodated without applying a strong force. (See FIGS. 6 and 8). Therefore, according to the present embodiment, it is possible to provide the sheet dispenser 100 in which the sheet package 40 can be easily stored.

  In the present embodiment, the opening 30 is formed in the side surface 16 of the main body 10 as described above (see FIGS. 1, 2, and 6 to 10). Therefore, the sheet package 40 can be accommodated in the main body 10 simply by inserting the sheet package 40 from the side surface 16 of the main body 10 into the main body 10 in the horizontal direction (X direction) (FIG. 6, FIG. See FIG. 8). Therefore, according to the present embodiment, the operation of housing the sheet package 40 in the dispenser 100 becomes easy.

  The present embodiment can also be implemented when the sheet package 40 is not used (when the sheet laminate 43 is not packaged in the packaging bag 41). When such a sheet package 40 is not used, the sheet 42 of the sheet laminate 43 is easily deformed. For example, the main body 10 on which the elastic protrusions 52 are formed is placed on the sheet laminate 43 thick paper together with the thick paper. Can be placed on the bottom surface 12.

  When the sheet laminate 43 is directly inserted from the side surface 16 of the main body 10 with the elastic projections 52 formed on the bottom surface 12 of the main body 10, the sheet 42 of the sheet laminate 43 is easily deformed. On the other hand, in the present embodiment, the sheet package 40 in which the sheet laminate 43 is packaged in the packaging bag 41 having the outlet 44 so that the sheet 42 can be pulled out through the slit-shaped outlet 44 is housed in the main body 10. Is done.

  In the present embodiment, the sheet package 40 is accommodated in the main body 10 from the side surface 16 of the main body 10, so that the deformation of the sheet 42 of the sheet laminate 43 can be prevented.

Therefore, according to the present embodiment, even when the sheet package 40 is inserted from the side surface 16 of the body 10 into the sheet dispenser 100 in which the elastic projection 52 is provided on the bottom surface 12 of the body 10, the sheet package 40 is It can be inserted smoothly.

  In the present embodiment, the tip 52b of the elastic projection 52 formed on the bottom surface 12 of the main body 10 is convexly curved as described above (FIGS. 1, 4, 5, and 7). As a result, the contact area between the bottom surface 40a of the sheet package 40 and the elastic projections 52 is reduced, so that when the sheet package 40 is inserted from the side surface 16 of the main body 10, the lower surface of the sheet package 40 and the elastic projections 52 are formed. Can be reduced (see FIGS. 1, 4, 5, 7, and 8). Therefore, according to the present embodiment, in the sheet dispenser 100 in which the elastic protrusion 52 is provided on the bottom surface 12 of the main body 10, when the sheet package 40 is inserted from the side surface 16 of the main body 10, It can be inserted more smoothly.

  In the present embodiment, as described above, three or more elastic projections 52 are formed on the bottom surface 12 of the main body 10 (see FIGS. 1, 4, 6, and 8). For this reason, the three or more elastic projections 52 push the sheet package 40 toward the top surface 11 in a well-balanced manner when the remaining amount of the sheet 42 in the packaging bag 41 is reduced and the original state is to be restored. (See FIGS. 9 and 10).

  Further, in the present embodiment, since the elastic projection 52 extending toward the top surface 11 is provided on the bottom surface 12 of the main body 10 as described above, the sheet packaging is performed by the elastic projection 52 that is going to return to the original state. The body 40 is pushed up toward the top surface 11 along the vertical direction (Z direction) (see FIGS. 8 to 10). This can prevent a large space from being generated between the upper surface 41a of the packaging bag 41 and the upper surface 43a (the upper surface sheet 42a) of the sheet laminate 43. Therefore, according to the present embodiment, it is possible to reliably prevent the sheet 42 (the top sheet 42a) from falling into the packaging bag 41 (see FIGS. 9 and 10).

  In the present embodiment, since the elastic projections 52 are provided on the substrate 51 that can be placed on the bottom surface 12 of the main body 10 as described above, the formation of the elastic projections 52 on the bottom surface 12 of the main body 10 is performed. (See FIGS. 1 and 4). The elastic member 50 provided with the elastic projection 52 on the substrate 51 can be used as an attachment for a sheet dispenser by removing the elastic member 50 from the main body 10 (see FIG. 4).

  Further, in the present embodiment, a sheet container (carton type) in which the sheet laminate 43 is accommodated in a carton (cardboard box) is provided in the main body 10 of the sheet dispenser 100 from which the substrate 51 provided with the elastic protrusions 52 is removed. Sanitary thin paper) can be accommodated (see FIG. 2). Therefore, according to the present embodiment, it is possible to provide the sheet dispenser 100 (highly versatile) applicable to various forms in which the sheet laminate 43 is packaged or housed.
