  The main problem to be solved by the present invention is that the instant wet towel with a dry towel body enclosed in a packaging bag has a simple structure and does not wet the outside of the packaging bag during use. And at the same time, it is possible to impart characteristics such as sterilization to the hand towel.

In order to achieve the above object, in the present invention, instant towels are produced by subjecting a water-absorbent sheet-like body made of paper, nonwoven fabric, or the like to a folding process such as folding or rounding and a dry compression process. A dry wet towel body,
A towel additive made of a water-soluble dry substance that imparts properties to towels such as fragrances, bactericides, sterilizers, antibacterial agents, and detergents,
It shall be enclosed with the packaging bag which consists of a film or sheet | seat which can be heat-sealed produced | generated by three-side seal packaging, four-side seal packaging, or pillow type packaging.

  According to such a configuration, the wet towel can be instantly moistened at the site of use by completely opening or partially opening the packaging bag at the time of use and putting water into the inside of the packaging bag from the opened position. The outside of the packaging bag does not get wet with water, and after using the generated towel, the towel is put back into the packaging bag until it is discarded, for example, without wetting other items in the bag. You can also leave it. In other words, the dry hand towel body swells and wets with the water thus added, and becomes a hand towel that can be used for development. At the stage of carrying before use, the dry hand towel body can be kept with a minimum volume and weight, so that it is easy to handle without being bulky in such carrying. Functions such as sterilization can be simultaneously imparted to the produced towel by a water-soluble dry substance. Such instant towels can be easily and efficiently manufactured by three-way seal packaging and the like, and can be provided at low cost.

  An opening notch may be formed in at least one place on at least one side of the packaging bag.

  When doing in this way, the packaging bag which comprises an instant hand towel at the time of use can be opened easily using this opening notch.

  The packaging bag may be labeled with the amount of water required to properly swell the dry towel. In this case, further, the amount of water is an amount corresponding to one unit or two units or more, where one unit is the volume of one cap of the beverage container, and the amount of water is indicated by the number of figures imitating the cap. Sometimes it ’s easy to make it easy.

  In this case, after opening the packaging bag, it is possible to prevent water from being unnecessarily put into the packaging bag from the opening location, and the dry towel body contains more water than necessary. Easy to use without hand towels. In particular, when the amount is indicated by the number of caps, the amount of water to be put into the packaging bag can be made easy to understand.

  According to the instant hand towel according to the present invention, the wet hand towel can be made into a wet hand towel with a simple configuration without wetting the outside of the packaging bag at the time of use, and at the same time, characteristics such as sterilization are imparted to the hand towel. be able to.

  Hereinafter, the best mode for carrying out the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.

  Here, FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 show the instant towel N according to the embodiment, respectively, and FIG. 3 shows that the drinking water W of the plastic bottle B is poured into the inside from the opening location 3e. 4 shows an example of a towel N ′ generated from the dry towel body 1 by pouring in FIG. FIG. 5 shows an example in which the packaging bag 3 is marked with 3 g of water.

  The instant hand towel N according to the present invention can generate and provide a wet hand towel N 'that is instantly wet by pouring the drinking water W or the like opened in use and contained in the plastic bottle B from the opening portion 3e.

  The instant towel N is composed of a dry towel 1, a towel additive 2, and a packaging bag 3 containing them.

  The dry towel body 1 is a compact collection of water-absorbent sheet-like bodies. In the illustrated example, the dry towel body 1 is collected in a form like a disk-shaped tablet. That is, the dry towel body 1 is produced by subjecting the water-absorbent sheet-like body to a bundling process such as folding or rounding and a dry compression process. The water-absorbent sheet-like body is typically prepared for molding so as to be square or rectangular in the developed state. The water-absorbent sheet-like material prepared in this way is gradually folded, rolled, folded, folded and rolled, dried by heating, and compressed to make it compact as described above. Put together. As such a water-absorbent sheet, typically, paper, thick paper called so-called non-woven paper, nonwoven fabric, or the like can be used. It is also possible to use a woven fabric or a knitted fabric.

  The hand towel additive 2 is made of a water-soluble dry substance. In the illustrated example, the hand towel additive 2 is configured to form a tablet. The hand towel additive 2 can be configured to form, for example, a powder or a granule. The hand towel additive 2 gives the towel N 'scent such as a refreshing sensation, coolness that gives a refreshing sensation when wiping hands, etc., and characteristics such as bactericidal action. Typically, such a wet towel additive 2 may be a fragrance, a bactericidal agent, a sterilizing agent, an antibacterial agent, a detergent, or the like. It is also planned to combine these two or more kinds into the towel additive 2. For example, if a fragrance and a sterilizing agent are mixed and used as the towel additive 2, when the surface of the article is wiped with the towel N 'generated at the time of use, an odor can be generated around the article. The surface of the article can be sterilized.

  The packaging bag 3 is composed of a heat-sealable film or sheet 3a produced by three-side seal packaging, four-side seal packaging, or pillow type packaging. As such a film or sheet 3a, a plastic film 3a which is made of a thermoplastic plastic or has a sealant layer made of this thermoplastic plastic, a composite film 3a including the plastic film, or the like can be used.

  Taking the three-sided seal packaging as an example, the film 3a continuously drawn out from the wound body (referred to as a raw roll or the like) made of the film 3a thus configured is folded in half from the middle, A film 3a which is conveyed in a folded manner is provided with a vertical heat seal 3c along the direction of conveyance on the side opposite to the folded side 3b of the film 3a so that the film 3a is in a cylindrical shape, and is conveyed in the form of a cylinder. The packaging bag 3 can be generated by applying the horizontal heat seal 3d in the direction intersecting with the conveying direction to the 3a with an approximately equal interval between the adjacent horizontal heat seals 3d. The dry towel body 1 and the wet towel additive 2 are contained in the cylindrical film until the subsequent horizontal heat seal 3d is applied with the previously applied horizontal heat seal 3d as the filling bottom. This is done by feeding the dry hand towel body 1 and the wet towel additive 2 into the bag from the hopper constituting the three-way heat seal packaging machine. The instant towel N, that is, the packaging bag 3 in which the dry towel 1 and the towel additive 2 are encapsulated is continuously generated and has a band shape. Such a strip is further cut or perforated within the width of the horizontal heat seal 3d, so that it can be divided into instant towels N in advance or easily separated thereafter. I can keep it. The vertical heat seal 3c typically includes a circumferential flange at one end, and is rotated between the circumferential flanges of a pair of heat rolls rotated so that the circumferential flange always abuts the circumferential flange of the other heat roll. It is applied by passing through the side opposite to the folded side of the folded film. Further, the horizontal heat seal 3d typically includes one or more raised portions along the axial direction, and is rotated so that the raised portion abuts the raised portion of the other heat roll at a predetermined timing. It is applied by passing a cylindrical film between the raised portions of the pair of heat rolls.

  The instant hand towel N according to this embodiment is instantly wetted at the site of use by completely opening or partially opening the packaging bag 3 at the time of use and putting water into the inside of the packaging bag 3 from the opening portion 3e. A hand towel N ′ can be generated. The outside of the packaging bag 3 does not get wet with water, and after use of the generated towel N ', the towel N' is put back into the packaging bag 3 until it is discarded, for example, other items in a bag or the like. It can also be kept away without getting wet. That is, the dry hand towel body 1 is swollen and wetted by the water thus put into a hand towel N 'that can be used for development. At the stage of carrying before use, the dry hand towel body 1 can be kept with a minimum volume and weight, so it is easy to handle without being bulky in this carrying. A function such as sterilization can be simultaneously imparted to the generated towel N 'by a water-soluble dry substance. Further, the instant towel N can be easily and efficiently manufactured by three-way seal packaging or the like, and can be provided at low cost.

  In this embodiment, an opening notch 3f is formed at least at one place on at least one side of the packaging bag 3 constituting the instant towel N.

  In the illustrated example, in the side part sealed by the vertical heat seal 3c of the packaging bag 3 generated by the three-side seal packaging, at a position biased to one of the side parts sealed by the upper and lower horizontal heat seals 3d, An opening notch 3f cut from the edge of the side portion within the range of the side portion is formed.

  As a result, in this embodiment, the packaging bag 3 constituting the instant towel N can be easily opened by using the opening notch 3f.

  FIG. 5 shows an example in which an indication 3 g of the amount of water necessary for properly swelling the dry towel body 1 is attached to the packaging bag 3 constituting the instant towel N by printing or the like.

  Specifically, in this example, the amount of water is an amount corresponding to one unit or two or more units, where one unit is the volume of one cap of a beverage container, and the amount of water is 3 g. Is made by the number of figures 3h imitating this cap.

  For example, when the amount of water necessary to swell the dry towel body 1 appropriately is equivalent to two caps, two figures 3h simulating this cap are displayed on the packaging bag 3, and after opening Uses the cap to write in the packaging bag 3 an explanation to the effect that the water is put into the packaging bag 3.

  In such a case, after opening the packaging bag 3, it is possible to prevent water from entering the packaging bag 3 more than necessary from the opening location 3e, and the dry towel body 1 is more than necessary. It is possible to make the towel N 'easy to use without containing water. In particular, since the amount is indicated by the number of caps, the amount of water to be put into the packaging bag 3 can be made easy to understand easily. Such a cap is preferably used as a cap for a plastic bottle B which is often sold and carried in general.
