BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a memo pad container / dispenser. More specifically, the memo pad made of a laminate of adhesive-attached paper pieces is housed, and the paper pieces are taken out one by one, intermittently or continuously as needed. It is related with the memo pad container and dispenser comprised by this. Here, “memo pad” means a laminate of adhesive paper pieces commercially available as, for example, Post-it ^™ (post-it ^™ ), and the size thereof is small, as is well known. Includes everything from small to large, and long to square.
[0002]
[Prior art]
As a memo pad container / dispenser, several types of memo pad containers / dispensers have been known and are commercially available. For example, as shown in FIG. 7, a memo pad made up of a predetermined size and number of adhesive-attached paper pieces (hereinafter also referred to as “paper pieces” or “memo paper”) is stored in a box-shaped paper container, A memo pad container / dispenser 31 is known in which the memo paper 10 is pulled out from the opening 35 one by one as shown in the figure. In the illustrated example, the memo paper 10 held by the finger and the next memo paper are bonded together with an adhesive with a predetermined bonding strength, but the tensile strength (separation of the finger holding the memo paper 10 is separated). Separation is possible when the force) exceeds the previous bond strength. Note that the memo pad is usually tightly accommodated in the container 31 to prevent free movement, and so that it can be easily taken out when the memo paper is used up. It is energized from below.
[0003]
Further, a memo pad container / dispenser as shown in FIG. 8 is also known. A memo pad container / dispenser 41 shown in FIG. 8 has a plastic box 42 having a space for storing a memo pad, and an opening that can cover the box and draw out the memo paper 10, as shown in FIG. And a lid 44 having 45. The lid 44 is preferably made of a metal material with its own gravity, such as steel, for example, in order to smoothly draw out the memo paper 10 and prevent inadvertent movement of the dispenser 41. The withdrawal of the note paper 10 from the dispenser 41 is basically the same as that of the dispenser 31 described above with reference to FIG.
[0004]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
Since the conventional memo pad container / dispenser is excellent in convenience, it is widely used in various fields. However, the common disadvantage of conventional dispensers is that it requires a larger pulling force to draw out the note paper one by one and that the note pad is tightly stored in the container. And, therefore, such a large force is applied to the memo paper, so that the drawn memo paper may be creased or curled. If such deformation is applied to the memo paper, it will not only be inconvenient for writing characters, but it will not be able to secure sufficient adhesion when it is attached to the memo board, wall surface, etc. Inconvenience occurs that the surface is lifted and looks bad. Even in the case of a similar dispenser, such inconvenience does not occur when the laminate housed in the dispenser is not a note paper but a plastic film.
[0005]
The object of the present invention is to solve these problems in the conventional memo pad container / dispenser, and to easily take out the memo paper from the dispenser with a weak pulling force, and the taken out paper piece is deformed. Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide a memo pad container / dispenser that can be applied flatly to the adherend surface.
[0006]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
According to the present invention, the above-described object is a memo pad container / dispenser configured to store a memo pad made of a laminate of adhesive-attached paper pieces and to take out the paper pieces one by one as needed, A slit-shaped piece of paper having a box with an internal space corresponding to the shape of the memo pad, and having a width that is at least larger than the width of the piece of paper in the lid formed integrally or independently with the box. A take-out opening is provided, and the peripheral edge in the longitudinal direction of the opening should be left in the take-out paper piece to be taken out from the box and the box located below the paper piece when taking out the paper piece from the box. Friction resistance greater than the bonding strength of the paper pieces can be imparted to the paper pieces to be removed, and the internal space of the box can be stored in the stored memo pad. It can be achieved by memo pad container and dispenser, characterized in that it has sufficient spare space to assist the take-out operation by the box body movement of the memo pad when taking out the paper.
[0007]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
The memo pad container / dispenser of the present invention can be provided in various forms. Although typical forms of the memo pad container / dispenser of the present invention are described below, it should be understood that the present invention is not limited to these forms.
[0008]
The memo pad container / dispenser of the present invention is a box for storing the memo pad, that is, a box having an internal space corresponding to the shape of the memo pad, and combined with the box, that is, integral or independent of the box. And a lid formed. Here, the form of the combination of the box and the lid will be specifically described below, but any form may be used as long as the function of the memo pad container / dispenser is exhibited.
[0009]
For example, when the box and the lid are integrally formed, the upper surface of the box is used as a lid, and the lid is made of a rectangular member that can be opened and closed integrally with the box. The slit-shaped paper piece taking-out opening can be formed when the member is closed. More specifically, the cover body is formed of a double-opening rectangular member attached to the upper peripheral edge of the box so as to face each other, and the paper piece take-out opening is formed by a tip portion separated by a predetermined interval between these members. Can be formed. In addition, the lid may be formed of a single-open rectangular member attached to one upper peripheral edge of the box, and the paper piece takeout opening may be formed in a substantially central portion of the member. it can.
[0010]
Further, when the box body and the lid body are configured independently, the lid body has a nesting structure with respect to the box body, and the paper piece take-out opening is substantially at the center of the top plate of the lid body. Can be formed. Here, the lid may have a shape that fits inside the box as shown in FIG. 9, or a shape that completely wraps the box as described below with reference to FIG. 6.
[0011]
Furthermore, various improvements for improving the handleability of the dispenser and the like may be applied to the box and the lid. For example, to make it easy to take out (pick) the memo paper, attach a small protrusion to the surface of the lid, for example, in the vicinity of the paper piece take-out opening of the lid, along the opening in the longitudinal direction. It is recommended to provide a small protrusion that extends. In some cases, when the memo pad becomes thin during use and it becomes difficult to remove the memo paper, prepare an adjustment plate of approximately the same size as the memo paper in advance, and place the adjustment plate in the box as required. It is recommended to insert between the bottom of the body and the memo pad to avoid the above disadvantages. Furthermore, it is also recommended to expand the use area of the dispenser by attaching a magnetic sheet or plate to the back of the dispenser and attaching it around the desk of the office with a magnetic force.
[0012]
The slit-shaped paper piece taking-out opening must further have a width at least larger than the width of the paper piece to be taken out from the opening, and the longitudinal peripheral edge of the opening is used when taking out the paper piece from the box. A frictional resistance greater than the bonding strength between the paper piece to be taken out of the box and the paper piece to be left in the box located below the paper piece can be applied to the paper piece to be taken out; and The internal space of the box needs to have a spare space sufficient to assist the take-out operation by moving the memo pad through the box when taking out the paper piece from the stored memo pad.
[0013]
By the way, the memo pad that is advantageously used in the practice of the present invention has a plurality of sheets of adhesive-coated sheets in which a part of one surface of the memo pad is coated with a pressure-sensitive adhesive. It is formed by laminating so as to be positioned, has a predetermined thickness, and can provide a continuous lightning-type long object due to the adhesive strength of each paper piece when stretched However, when a separation force exceeding the bonding strength is applied to adjacent paper pieces, the respective paper pieces can be separated. Such a memo pad can be provided as it is, or by slightly modifying a commercially available memo pad.
[0014]
In the memo pad container / dispenser of the present invention, the spare space provided after the memo pad is stored in the internal space of the box preferably undergoes the following volume change in the process of taking out a piece of paper from the box. Is:
(1) When the paper piece to be taken out starts to be pulled out from the paper piece taking-out opening of the box, the memo pad that is stationary at the substantially central portion of the bottom surface of the box moves in the box, and the drawer side of the box And a spare space is formed in the vicinity of the opposite wall surface,
(2) When the paper piece to be taken out is further pulled out, the spare space is maintained as it is when a part of the paper piece is located in the box, and the paper piece to be taken out is curved in an arc at the opening. And
(3) When the entire paper piece to be taken out and a part of the paper piece following the paper piece are pulled out to the outside of the box, the memo pad is lifted so as to contact the top plate of the box, and in (1) A preliminary space is formed that includes the wall surface against which the memo pad is abutted and the bottom surface of the box, and (4) a separation force greater than the bonding strength between the paper piece to be removed and the paper piece following the paper piece. When applied to a take-out paper piece, the take-out paper piece is separated from the memo pad, and the memo pad is released from the previous lifted state and is allowed to stand at a substantially central portion of the bottom surface of the box.
[0015]
【Example】
Hereinafter, some embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the present invention is not limited to the embodiments illustrated below, and that various changes and modifications can be made within the spirit and scope of the present invention.
FIG. 1 is a perspective view shown as a reference example for explaining a use state of a memo pad container / dispenser according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention. That is, the illustrated memo pad container / dispenser 1 does not correspond to the embodiment of the present invention in that it does not have a plurality of differences, but otherwise has the same configuration, so the memo pad container / dispenser of the present invention. It is referred to as a reference example for understanding.
The illustrated memo pad container / dispenser 1 has a double-opening lid 4 as shown in the figure, and can pull out a piece of adhesive-attached paper (memo paper) 10 from an opening 5 formed by the opposing lid 4. it can. The configuration of the memo pad container / dispenser 1 can be more easily understood from FIG. The dispenser 1 includes a side wall 3 attached to face the bottom plate 2 and a lid 4 that forms a side wall / top plate at a portion other than the side walls. When the lid 4 is fully opened, the memo pad 11 that is a laminated body of the memo paper 10 is stored. Note that the bottom plate 2, the side wall 3, and the lid 4 can be preferably formed from a transparent plastic material, for example, a polystyrene resin by an integral molding method. The lid 4 constituting both wings of the molded product can be easily opened and closed as shown in the figure. Therefore, when the memo pad is used up, the new memo pad can be easily replenished by opening the lid 4.
[0016]
After the memo pads 11 are stored in the memo pad container / dispenser 1, they can be taken out one by one as shown in order in FIG.
(A) The tip of the uppermost memo paper 10 of the memo pad 11 is pulled out from the upper opening of the dispenser 1. At this stage, the memo pad 11 is located approximately at the center inside the dispenser 1.
(B) When the memo paper 10 continues to be pulled out as indicated by the arrow, the memo pad 11 that has been stationary at the center of the inside of the dispenser 1 starts to move, and one end of the memo pad 11 contacts the side wall of the dispenser 1. Touched. In the vicinity of the opposite side wall, a “preliminary space” A as referred to in the present specification is formed. The taking-out of the memo paper 10 is blocked by its adhesive surface as shown in the figure.
(C) When the memo paper 10 is further pulled out as indicated by an arrow, the memo paper 10 rises as shown in the figure, and the next memo paper 10 is curved at the opening of the lid 4. Also, making the memo paper 10 bend in such a large amount at the opening, particularly drawing a circle as large as possible, reduces the creases after the memo paper is taken out, and there is no resistance of the memo paper. It is effective in performing smooth removal. The spare space A is maintained as it is.
(D) When the pulling force for pulling out the memo paper 10 is further increased, the entire memo paper 10 is pulled out from the dispenser 1 as shown in the figure. At this stage, the memo pad 11 is lifted inside the dispenser 1. The spare space changes from A to B.
(E) At the last pull, a separation force larger than the joining strength between the memo papers is applied to the memo paper 10 being pulled out. The memo paper 10 is separated from the next memo paper 10, and the remaining memo pad 11 is the same as the state shown in FIG.
[0017]
According to the knowledge of the present inventors, when taking out the memo paper 10 from the dispenser 1, if the memo paper 10 draws as large a circle as possible at the opening of the dispenser 1, the crease after taking out the memo paper is reduced. In addition, the drawer of the note paper itself can be smoothly performed without resistance. Therefore, the size of the opening of the dispenser 1 is preferably configured to be as wide as possible. Although the size of the opening can be widely changed depending on the size of the dispenser, the size of the memo pad, and other factors, it is usually preferably about 10 to 20 mm.
[0018]
Furthermore, in order to enable smooth removal of the memo paper, a spare space is formed in the dispenser so that the memo pad can freely slide inside the dispenser and the tip of the memo paper to be removed is It is advantageous to always be at the approximate center of the opening. Although the sliding distance of the memo pad secured by forming the spare space can be widely changed according to the size of the dispenser, the size of the memo pad, and other factors, it is usually about 4 to 8 mm to about 15 to 30 mm. A range is preferred.
[0019]
Furthermore, in order to make it possible to reliably and smoothly take out the memo paper one by one without continuously slid and pulling it out, we tried to stop the memo pad between the strength of the memo paper and the memo pad in the container. The balance of the force (friction resistance) applied from the container lid to the memo pad is important. When the bonding strength is greater than the frictional resistance, the places where the memo paper should be pulled out one by one are pulled out one after another, and the intended purpose cannot be achieved. On the other hand, when the bonding strength is smaller than the frictional resistance, the memo paper can be cut out one by one and smoothly taken out as expected. The bonding strength between the note papers and the frictional resistance applied from the container lid to the memo pad can be widely changed depending on the size of the dispenser, the size of the memo pad, and other factors. The bonding strength is preferably in the range of about 40-60 g / 50 mm, and the frictional resistance is preferably in the range of about 50-80 g / 50 mm to about 80-120 g / 50 mm.
[0020]
By the way, the memo pad container / dispenser shown as a reference example in FIGS. 1 to 3 shows the basic configuration of the memo pad container / dispenser of the present invention, and the memo pad of the present invention is provided with a plurality of small protrusions. Ru container and dispenser der. In the dispenser of the present invention, for example, as shown in FIG. 4, small protrusions 6 can be arranged in a predetermined region of the lid 4 of the dispenser 1 in order to easily pick up and take out the note paper. . Although the illustrated small protrusions are of the parallel two-line type, other shapes may be used.
[0021]
As shown in FIG. 5, the lid 4 of the dispenser 1 may be attached to the box by a hinge 9 with the lid 4 as a single opening. An opening 5 having a predetermined size is formed in the lid 4 in advance.
Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 6, the memo pad container / dispenser 1 may be a nested type of a box body 12 and a lid body 14. Also in this case, an opening 15 having a predetermined size is formed in the lid body 14 in advance. The dispenser 1 of FIGS. 5 and 6 is also a reference example in that it does not have a plurality of small protrusions.
Preparation of memo pad container / dispenser 40mm in length x 53mm in width, 55mm or 57mm in the shape shown in Fig. 2 (changed in size to move 2mm, 4mm or 6mm when sliding the memo pad) x height 8mm A transparent container was produced by integral molding of polystyrene resin. In order to evaluate the influence of the size of the opening on the drawing of the note paper, the size of the opening was changed to 40 mm × 14 mm, 40 mm × 16 mm, or 40 mm × 18 mm. The lid was opened, and a paper memo pad (38 mm × 51 mm, 50 sheets stacked, adhesive surface 38 mm × 12 mm) coated with adhesive on the left and right alternately was stored at a predetermined position. Memo paper was pulled out from the memo pad in each container, and the state of occurrence of creases in the memo paper and the possibility of pulling out one by one were evaluated. The following results were obtained.
[0022]

From the above results, the occurrence of creases and the continuous drawing of memo paper depend on factors such as the size of the opening, and the results are satisfactory when the size of the opening is 16 mm and the sliding distance of the memo pad is 4 mm. It turns out that it is obtained.
[0023]
【The invention's effect】
As described above, when the memo pad container / dispenser according to the present invention is used, when taking out memo paper one by one, it is possible to easily take out the memo paper with a weak pulling force. There is no crease or curling, and therefore there is an effect that it can be applied flat to the adherend surface. In addition, if the dispenser is made small, it is not only convenient to carry but also made of transparent plastic, so that the appearance can be improved and the remaining amount of note paper inside can be easily confirmed. be able to.
