Referring to FIGS. 1 to 5, the distribution container 10 has a lateral direction X, a front-rear direction Z, and a vertical direction Y intersecting them, and the packaging body 90 is packaged in a state where the sheet materials 9 are laminated. Includes a container body 20 for accommodating the container body 20, an upper lid 30 rotatably attached to the upper surface of the container body 20 via a hinge portion 5, and a bottom lid 70 detachably attached to the bottom of the container body 20. The container body 20 can accommodate the package 90 by removing the removable bottom lid 70. Further, the front end portion of the upper lid 30 is locked to the operation button 80 by the latch mechanism, and by pressing the operation button 80, the lock by the latch 31 is released, and the upper lid 30 is swiveled in the direction P to open. (See Fig. 2).

The container body 20 has a hollow box-shaped top wall 21 and a peripheral wall 22 having a shape that gently rises upward from the outer peripheral edge toward the center. The container body 20 and the bottom lid 70 can be injection molded and are made of a thermoplastic synthetic resin such as polypropylene or polyethylene. Reinforcing ribs 12 for increasing the strength of the peripheral wall 22 of the container body 20 are arranged on the inner surface.

Referring to FIGS. 2 and 8, a concave surface portion 23 recessed downward in the central portion in the lateral direction X is located on the top surface wall 21 of the container body 20. The concave surface portion 23 has a support surface (inner bottom surface) 24 that supports the distribution structure (packing member) 50 described later, and an inner peripheral wall surface 25 that surrounds the support surface 24 and extends to the top surface wall 21. The support surface 24 has a circular container opening 26 located at the center thereof and an annular support protrusion 27 projecting upward so as to surround the container opening 26. The height dimension (dimension in the vertical direction Y) of the inner peripheral wall surface 25 gradually decreases from the central portion to the front, and the latch receiver that receives the latch of the upper lid 30 is on the inner surface side of the front end portion of the inner peripheral wall surface 25. An operation button 80 provided with a unit (keeper) is arranged.

The concave surface portion 23 has a rear end portion having a height dimension smaller than that of the inner peripheral wall surface 25. The rear end portion has a stepped shape, and a concave portion 28 that is concave rearward is located in the central portion of the lateral direction X, and the upper lid 30 is placed on the opposite inner side surface facing the lateral direction X via the concave portion 28. A concave bearing portion 23a into which both ends of the shaft portion 45 of the above are fitted is formed.

With reference to FIGS. 8, 11 (a) and 11 (b), each engaging claw 40 is arranged on the outside near the support protrusion 27. Each engaging claw 40 has a first claw 41 and a second claw 42 that are separated from each other, and a separated portion 43 is formed between the first claw 41 and the second claw 42. The engaging claw 40 is formed of a soft thermoplastic synthetic resin that allows the first claw 41 and the second claw 42 to elastically approach or contact each other by an external force. Each claw 41, 42 of the engaging claw 40 has a head 41a, 42a and a neck 41b, 42b.

Referring to FIGS. 2, 3, 9 and 10, a distribution structure 50 for airtightly closing the container body 20 with the upper lid 30 is arranged on the concave surface portion 23 of the container body 20. The distribution structure 50 includes upper and lower surfaces 50A and 50B, a rigid flange 51 located on the outer periphery, a flexible peripheral wall 52 connected to the inside of the flange 51, and a rigid inner lid connected to the inner circumference of the peripheral wall 52. It has a portion (outer region) 53 and a flexible inner flap (inner region) 55 that is connected to the inner circumference of the inner lid portion 53 and defines the distribution opening 54. On the lower surface of the distribution structure 50, a lower protrusion 56 extending downward in an annular shape is located between the peripheral wall 52 and the outer peripheral edge portion of the inner lid portion 53.

In the present embodiment, the distribution structure 50 is integrally molded from a soft material such as soft polyethylene, urethane, silicone rubber, etc., and when the sheet material 9 is impregnated with an alcohol component, it is preferable. , The sheet material 9 is made of soft polyethylene in order to suppress the evaporation / evaporation of the alcohol component and the deterioration of the material forming the distribution structure 50 due to the alcohol component. The distribution structure 50 is formed of a homogeneous material, but has a flexible portion and a relatively rigid portion by adjusting the thickness dimension. It can also be formed from different materials, for example, by double molding (two-color molding), an elastic material is applied to the flexible part and a thermoplastic synthetic resin is applied to the rigid part in one mold. It can also be used integrally to form.

The distribution opening 54 is substantially T-shaped or substantially ginkgo-shaped in a plan view, and is located between the curved front end edge 54a, the rear end edge 54b extending in the lateral direction X on the rear side, and the front and rear end edges 54a and 54b. It has a pair of bilateral edges 54c having a curved shape that gradually approaches each other toward the front. The distribution opening 54 is further connected to the front of the first hole portion (finger insertion portion) 57 located rearward and expanding in the lateral direction X and the front-rear direction Z, and the central portion of the first hole portion 57 in the lateral direction X. It has a second hole 58 extending to. The second hole portion 58 has a shape gradually constricted toward the front, and the portion extending from the narrowest portion to the front end edge 54a is slightly smaller than the narrowest portion (narrowest portion). It is wide. By locating the narrowest portion between the wider portions, it is possible to easily bend both side edge portions 54a in the vertical direction Y when the sheet material 9 passes through the narrowest portion, and the sheet material 9 can be easily bent. It is possible to prevent the edges 54a on both sides from being caught and difficult to pull out. Even if the distribution opening 54 is formed from such a relatively large opening instead of a slit, the internal space can be maintained airtight by the seal portion described later. Further, the distribution opening 54 may be in a cross shape or a radial shape in addition to the T shape as long as the first hole portion 57 and the second hole portion 58 intersect with each other.

Referring to FIG. 10B, the thickness dimension D1 of the inner lid portion 53 is larger than the thickness dimension D2 of the inner flap 55, and the inner lid portion 53 is thicker than the inner flap 55. I can say. Further, the opening edge portion of the inner flap 55 forming the second hole 58 is thicker than the other portions of the inner flap 55 and is substantially the same as the thickness dimension D1 of the inner lid portion 53. A high rigidity region 59 having a thickness dimension D3 is located. Further, the inner lid portion 53 of the distribution structure 50 has a dome shape that rises upward.

The flange 51 has an engaging hole 51a that is engaged with the engaging claw 40 of the container body 20. Four engagement holes 51a are arranged outside the peripheral wall 52 with respect to the distribution opening 54. Each engaging hole 51a has a circular large-diameter portion 51b located on the upper side and a circular small-diameter portion 51c located on the lower side. A notch 51e is formed in the center of the trailing edge of the flange 51.

Here, the distribution container 10 further has a lid mechanism 2. The lid mechanism 2 is a region surrounded by virtual lines in FIGS. 1 and 2, and is formed from a mechanism main body 3 including an upper lid 30, an inner peripheral wall surface 25, a support surface 24 surrounded by the lid mechanism 24, and a distribution structure 50. It is configured. In the present embodiment, the mechanism main body 3 is formed by dividing a part of the distribution container 10, but as another embodiment, as shown in FIG. 17, it is independently attached to the packaging body 90. It may be a lid (cap). The other embodiment also has the mouse structure, the closed structure, and the hinge structure described later, and is the same as the case where the mechanism main body 3 is formed from a part of the container main body 20 as in the present embodiment. The technical structure and the technical effect resulting from it can be achieved.

<Sealed structure>
With reference to FIGS. 11 (a) and 11 (b), a method of attaching the distribution structure 50 to the concave surface portion 23 of the container body 20 will be described. First, four engaging holes will be described in the lateral direction X and the front-rear direction Z. The distribution structure 50 is arranged on the concave surface portion 23 so that the positions of the 51a and the positions of the four engaging claws 40 coincide with each other. The radial dimension N1 of the small diameter portion 51c of the engaging hole 51a is smaller than the radial dimension N2 of the outer peripheral surfaces of the first claw 41 and the second claw 42 at the tip of the engaging claw 40. When the structure 50 is pressed against the support surface 24, the head 41a of the first claw 41 and the head 42a of the second claw 42 are brought into contact with the inner circumference of the small diameter hole 51c when passing through the small diameter hole 51c. As a result, they elastically deform and approach each other.

Further, by moving the distribution structure 50 downward and pressing it against the concave surface portion 23, the heads 41a and 41b are moved to the large diameter hole 51b, and between the large diameter hole 51b and the small diameter hole 51c. The positioned step 51d and the lower ends of the heads 41a and 42a face each other in the vertical direction Y, and the downward movement of the engaging claw 41 so as to separate from the engaging hole 51 is restricted. Further, in a state where the engaging claw 41 is locked in the engaging hole 51, the support protrusion 27 enters the internal space of the peripheral wall 52, and the separation portion 29 is between the top surface 52a of the peripheral wall 52 and the support protrusion 27. Is formed. By inserting the engaging claw 40 into the engaging hole 51a in this way, the distribution structure 50 is stably attached to the container body 20 at the attachment portion.

With reference to FIG. 7, the upper lid 30 has a substantially flat rectangular shape formed by the front and rear edge portions 30a and 30b and the side edge 30c connecting the front and rear end edges 30a and 30b, and has a substantially flat rectangular shape in the lateral direction X of the front end edge portion. A latch 31 is located at the center, and a connecting portion 32 that bends downward and extends is located at the center of the trailing edge 30b in the lateral direction X. The upper lid 30 further has an outer surface forming a part of the outer surface of the distribution container 10, an inner surface facing the concave surface portion 23 of the container body 20, and an annular rib 33 extending downward from the inner surface toward the concave surface portion 23. .. In the present specification, the state in which the upper lid 30 is open means a state in which the upper lid 30 stands up about 90 degrees with respect to the top wall 21 of the container body 20, and the state in which the upper lid 30 is closed means the state in which the upper lid 30 is closed. Means a state in which the latch 31 is locked to the button member 80 by turning in the turning direction P toward the concave surface portion 23 from the open state.

The annular rib 33 has a circular inner rib 34 and a circular outer rib 35 located so as to surround the outer peripheral edge of the inner rib 34. The inner rib 34 has a height dimension (vertical direction Y) larger than that of the outer rib 35.

Referring to FIG. 5, the outer surface of the upper lid 30 has a streamlined shape with a gradual downward slope from the rear to the front, and the front portion has a central portion curved downward in the lateral direction X and is recessed. Further, in the closed state, the upper surface of the operation button 80 located in front of the upper lid 30 has a substantially bow shape slightly recessed toward the center, and the upper lid 30 and the operation button 80 form a continuous streamline shape. Therefore, when the user touches the outer surfaces of the upper lid 30 and the operation button 80 with his / her fingertips, the tactile sensation is good. Moreover, the design is excellent as compared with the case where their outer surfaces are flat. Further, when exchanging diapers for infants and the like, it is assumed that the user such as a mother takes out the sheet material 9 from the distribution container 10 in a relatively dark room so that the infant does not wake up. However, in such a case, when the user touches the outer surface of the upper lid 30 in the closed state with a fingertip so as to trace the outer surface of the upper lid 30, it is possible to visually recognize that the operation button 80 is located at the destination where the downward slope is forward. Can be done. Therefore, even in a situation where the operation button 80 cannot be directly visually recognized, the opening / closing operation can be smoothly performed.

Referring to FIG. 4-6, in a state where the upper lid 30 is swiveled toward the concave surface portion 23 side via the hinge portion 5 and closed, the outer rib 35 located on the inner surface of the upper lid 30 is the peripheral wall 52 of the distribution structure 50. It comes into contact with the top surface 52a of the. In this way, the outer ribs (annular ribs) 35 and the peripheral wall 52 that are in contact with each other are integrated to form the upper seal portion 7 that surrounds the distribution opening 54. Further, since the inner peripheral surface of the upper lid 30 forms a ceiling portion facing the distribution opening 54, an airtight space S1 is defined above the distribution opening 54 by the upper seal portion 7 and the ceiling portion. Therefore, it is possible to effectively prevent the liquid contained in the sheet material 9 from evaporating.

Further, the support protrusion 27 of the concave surface portion 23 is located in the hollow peripheral wall 52 of the distribution structure 50. Since the peripheral wall 52 is hollow, it is easily deformed, has excellent followability to the movement of the upper lid 30, and the support protrusion 27 is located inside the peripheral wall 52 so that the peripheral wall 52 does not completely fall down. The 52 does not completely lie down and a gap is formed between the upper lid 30 and the distribution structure 50, so that the sealing effect of the upper sealing portion 7 is not significantly reduced.

Further, since the tip of the support protrusion 27 is located below the inner surface of the top surface 52a of the peripheral wall 52, a separation portion (separation space) 29 is provided between the top surface 52a of the peripheral wall 52 and the tip of the support protrusion 27. Is formed. The upper end of the peripheral wall 52 where the top surface 52a is located can be deformed by being pressed from above by the outer rib 35 of the upper lid 30 that is in contact with the upper end surface 52a. By having such a configuration that the upper seal portion 7 is applied, the outer rib 35 deforms the upper end of the peripheral wall 52 in a concave shape in a state where the upper lid 30 is closed, so that the inner rib 34 is surrounded by the top surface 52a of the peripheral wall 52. It becomes a state.

In this way, the sealing function of the upper sealing portion 7 is improved by deforming the upper end of the peripheral wall 52. For example, the upper lid 30 receives an external impact and is distributed to the outer rib 35. Even if a force that shifts the position of the peripheral wall 52 of the body 50 inward or outward in the radial direction is applied, the force that tries to push the peripheral wall 52 by the outer rib 35 is released by the separating portion 29, so that the position shifts. Since it becomes difficult and the outer rib 35 is brought into contact with the upper end of the peripheral wall 52 in such a manner that it bites into the upper end, the airtight state inside the container body 20 can be maintained. Further, since the support protrusion 27 is located in the peripheral wall 52, even if the top surface 52a of the peripheral wall 52 is greatly deformed in a concave shape by the outer rib 35, the support protrusion 27 indirectly pushes it through the peripheral wall 52. Since it comes into contact with the rib 35, there is no possibility that the entire peripheral wall 52 is deformed and the sealing function is deteriorated.

Here, the support projection 27 is not only inserted into the internal space of the peripheral wall 52, but its side surface is surface-contacted with the inner surface 52c of the inner portion of the peripheral wall 52 or the inner surface 52d of the outer portion. preferable. In such a case, the inside of the container body 20 can be made more airtight, and the ingress of air from the outside can be effectively suppressed. Further, as shown in FIG. 6, it is more preferable that the support protrusion 27 is inserted into the internal space of the peripheral wall 52 and is in contact with the inner surface 52d of the outer portion of the peripheral wall 52. In the case of such an embodiment, since a separating portion is formed between the support protrusion 27 and the inner surface 52c of the inner portion of the peripheral wall 52, the tip of the peripheral wall 52 that is pressed and deformed by the outer rib 35 bends to the separated portion. The distribution structure 50 can exhibit a higher sealing function as a packing.

With reference to FIG. 6, in this way, the lid mechanism 2 has an upper seal portion 7 that makes the internal space S1 airtight by abutting the peripheral wall 52 of the distribution structure 50 and the annular rib 33 of the upper lid 30. The support protrusion 27 has an annular seal portion including a lower seal portion 8 that makes the internal space S1 airtight by contacting the inner surface 52c of the inner portion of the peripheral wall 52 or the inner surface 52d of the outer portion in a planar manner. Since the lid mechanism 2 has both the sealing portions 7 and 8, the internal space S1 can be made airtight more reliably.

Further, the inner rib 34 of the annular rib 33 is located inside the peripheral wall 52. By forming the annular rib 33 from the double inner and outer ribs 34 and 35, the annular rib 33 is located between the upper lid 30 and the container body 20 as compared with the case where the annular rib 33 is formed from the single rib. Since the flow of air in the space is complicated and the air stays inside and the outflow to the outside is delayed, the sealing function of the upper sealing portion 7 can be improved. Further, since the inner rib 34 is located inside the peripheral wall 52 and extends downward from the top surface 52a thereof, it is possible to prevent the peripheral wall 52 from falling inward. Further, the annular rib 33 extends downward on both side portions located between the front and rear end edges 30a and 30b of the upper lid 30 as compared with the portions on the front and rear edge 30a and 30b sides. Since the peripheral wall 52 has such a shape, the outer rib 35 abuts on the peripheral wall 52 on the rear end edge 30b side where the hinge portion 5 is located and the front end edge 30a side where the button member 80 is located, and the airtight state is maintained. .. Further, when the dimension of the inner rib in the vertical direction Y is large, the upper lid 30 has a shape having a downward slope in the forward direction, so that the inner rib 34 may come into contact with the peripheral wall 52 and it may be difficult to open the upper lid. However, by making the dimension in the vertical direction Y relatively small on the front end edge 30a side, the inner rib 34 does not come into contact with the peripheral wall 52, and the upper lid 30 can be easily opened. The size of the peripheral wall 52 gradually decreases in the vertical direction from the rear end edge 30b side to the front end edge 30a side, and the rear end edge 30b where the outer rib 35 first comes into contact with the peripheral wall 52 when the upper lid 30 is closed. On the side, the outer rib 3 comes into contact with the peripheral wall 52 most strongly to deform it.

12 (a) and 12 (b) show an example of an embodiment of the package 90, respectively. Referring to FIG. 12A, in the present embodiment, the packaging body 90 includes a plurality of sheet materials 9 such as a wet sheet for wiping and a wet tissue, and a packaging sheet 91 covering the sheet material 9. It has a packaging body opening 92 for taking out the sheet material 9 from the packaging sheet 91, and a sealing seal (not shown) that closes the packaging body opening 92 and is attached to the upper surface of the packaging body 90. The package 90 is made of impermeable plastic and prevents the liquid (water, alcohol, chemicals, etc.) impregnated in the inner sheet material from evaporating.

With reference to FIG. 12B, in this embodiment, the sealing portion 93 coated with the adhesive is arranged at the opening edge of the packaging body opening 92 of the packaging body 90. By attaching the seal portion 93 to the inner surface of the support surface 24, the package 90 can be arranged so that the container opening 26 and the package opening 92 overlap each other in the vertical direction Y. According to such an arrangement mode, when the package 90 contains a plurality of sheet materials 9 impregnated with a liquid component such as an alcohol component, the sheet material is compared with the case where the container opening 26 and the package opening 92 are separated from each other. It is possible to suppress the drying of 9.

13 (a) and 13 (b) schematically show an example of the stacking mode of the sheet materials 9 in the package 90, but the actual sheet materials are laminated so as to abut each other in the vertical direction Y. .. With reference to FIG. 13A, one sheet material 9 is bent once in either the lateral direction X or the front-rear direction Z to form a V-shape folded in half, and the sheet material 9 folded in half is vertically folded. They are stacked in the direction Y.

Referring to FIG. 13B, one sheet material 9 is bent twice in either the lateral direction X or the front-rear direction Z to form a tri-fold Z shape, and the tri-folded sheet material is folded in the vertical direction. It may be laminated on Y. In any of the illustrated laminating modes, by pulling up the top sheet material 9A from the package opening 92, a part of the next sheet material 9B is pulled up, and the sheet material 9 can be pulled out one by one in sequence. As described above, as long as the sheet material 9 has a laminated structure that passes through the package opening 92 and is taken out from the container opening 26 in a so-called pop-up manner, various known laminated modes can be adopted in addition to the illustrated modes. It is preferable that the sheet material 9 is bent in the lateral direction X because it is easier to pull out the sheet material 9 when the bent end portion is located closer to the distribution opening 54.

<Mouse structure>
With reference to FIGS. 2, 4 and 14, when taking out the sheet material 9 from the distribution container 10, first, the packaging body opening 92 of the packaging body 90 is placed on the inner surface of the bottom lid 70 in an opened state, and the bottom lid 70 is placed. Is attached to the container body 20. Next, in a state where the operation button 80 of the container body 20 is pressed to open the upper lid 30, the thumb 95 and the index finger (or middle finger) 96 are inserted into the first hole 57 of the distribution opening 54, and the package 90 The sheet material 9A located at the uppermost position, that is, the highest sheet material 9A partially exposed from the package opening 92 is grasped.

At this time, the first hole portion 57 has a shape that expands in the lateral direction X and the front-rear direction Z, and has a size that allows at least two fingers such as the operator's thumb 95 and index finger 96 to be inserted. Therefore, the sheet material 9A can be taken out by smoothly inserting a finger without forcibly expanding the inner flap 55 forming the opening edge portion of the distribution opening 54 and breaking it. Since the first hole portion 57 has an opening area of a required size in this way, if the sheet material 9A is pulled out as it is, the frictional resistance due to the opening edge portion does not act, and the next sheet material 9B is hung together. It may be pulled out.

Therefore, the operator pulls out a part of the first sheet material 9A from the first hole portion 57 and at the same time moves it while sliding it to the second hole portion 58 which is narrower than the first hole portion 57. The sheet material 9A is sandwiched by the second hole 58. In such a state, when the first sheet material 9A is pulled up and taken out, a part of the next sheet material 9B is exposed from the second hole portion 58 due to the frictional resistance of the second hole portion 58. Since the sheet materials 9 are arranged so as to be alternately overlapped in the vertical direction Y, they can be smoothly taken out from the second hole portion 58 thereafter. As described above, the first hole portion 57 is an opening for inserting a finger for inserting at least two fingertips 95 and 96 when the first sheet material 9A is pulled out, and is the second and subsequent sheets of the package. It is not used when pulling out the sheet material 9B.

Referring to FIG. 14, in a state where the distribution structure 50 is attached to the container body 20, a part of the package opening 92, a part of the container opening 26, and a part of the distribution opening 54 of the package 90 are They are positioned so as to overlap each other in the vertical direction Y (in the plan view of the distribution container 10). The dimension L1 of the package opening 92 of the package 90 in the lateral direction X is larger than the dimension L2 of the container opening 26 of the container body 20 in the lateral direction X, and the dimension L2 of the container opening 26 in the lateral direction X is the distribution structure. It is larger than the dimension L3 in the lateral direction X of the second hole 58 in the distribution opening 54 of the body 50.

Therefore, at least a part of the openings 26, 58, and 92 communicate with each other in the vertical direction Y, and the dimensions (width dimensions) L1-L3 in the lateral direction X gradually decrease from the lower side to the upper side. The correlation between the sizes of the dimensions L1-L3 is as follows: Dimension L1 in the lateral direction X of the package 90 ≧ Dimension L2 in the lateral direction of the container opening 26 ≧ Dimension L3 in the lateral direction X of the second hole 58 of the distribution opening 54. It has become. In addition to the illustrations, the openings 26, 58, 92 can adopt various known shapes such as a circle, an ellipse, and a rectangle, and the lateral X in each of the openings 26, 58, 92 can be adopted. Dimension L1-L3 means the maximum dimension of lateral X at each opening 26, 58, 92 in various shapes.

As described above, the width dimensions L1-L3 of the second hole 58 of the package opening 92, the container opening 26, and the distribution opening 54 gradually decrease from the lower side to the upper side, so that the package opening 92 The sheet material 9 drawn out from the container 9 is gradually narrowed by passing through the container opening 26 and the second hole 58. As a result, it is possible to effectively suppress the continuous pulling out of the sheet material 9 due to a gradual increase in frictional resistance as it slides into contact with the edges of the openings 92, 26 and 58 and moves upward, which is excellent. It can exert a distribution effect.

In order to distribute the sheet material 9 by the frictional resistance of the openings 92, 26, 58 that at least partially communicate with each other in the vertical direction Y, the openings 92, 26, 54 must be separated in the vertical direction Y. is there. In the present embodiment, since the distribution structure 50 is formed from a separate body from the container body 20, a space S2 is formed between the container opening 26 and the distribution opening 54, so that the container opening After 26, the sheet material 9 can be reliably distributed by the frictional resistance at the distribution opening 54. Further, since the inner lid portion 53 of the distribution structure 50 has a dome shape that rises upward, it is larger between the container opening 26 and the distribution opening 54 than when it is flat. The space S2 can be formed to more reliably impart frictional resistance at the distribution opening 54.

Further, in the case of the package 90 shown in FIG. 12B, the seal portion 93 is located on the peripheral edge of the package opening 92, and the seal portion 93 is attached to the inner surface of the support surface 24 of the container body 20. The package 90 is housed in the container body 20. In such a case, since the package opening 92 and the container opening 26 form a continuous opening without being separated in the vertical direction Y, the sheet material 9 is separated from the package opening 92 and the container opening 26. It is possible to suppress the evaporation of liquid components such as alcohol components. Even in such a case, the sheet material 9 can be distributed by locating the second hole 58 having a narrower width above the container opening 26.

Further, when the support surface 24 is formed of a soft material such as rubber and the inner surface thereof has an undulating shape, a seal portion located at the edge of the package opening 92 of the package 90 should be stably attached. I can't. In the present embodiment, since the container body 20 does not directly form the narrowed portion (distribution opening) defined by the opening edge formed from the soft material, it is located on the peripheral edge of the package opening 92. The seal portion is formed of a hard material and can be stably attached to the inner surface of the smooth support surface 24.

In a plan view of the distribution container 10, the package opening 92 is preferably located not on the first hole 57 side of the distribution opening 54 but on the second hole 58 side, and at least a part thereof is the first. It is preferable that the two holes 58 overlap with each other in the vertical direction Y. By locating the package opening 92 on the side of the second hole 58, the second and subsequent sheet materials 9 can be smoothly pulled out from the second hole 58.

Further, since the high rigidity region 59 is located at the opening edge of the second hole 58 and has the required strength, even if the sheet material 9 is slidably contacted and pulled out a plurality of times, a part of the sheet material 9 is partially drawn. It is possible to suppress deformation and breakage. Further, by locating the high rigidity region 59 of the wall thickness as compared with the thin inner flap 55, a relatively high frictional resistance can be given to the sheet material 9.

The inner flap 55 located at the peripheral edge of the distribution opening 54 has flexibility / flexibility, and the rigidity of the inner flap 55 is smaller than the rigidity of the inner lid 53. Therefore, when the first sheet material 9A is taken out. In addition, it is possible to prevent the fingers 95 and 96 from hitting the inner surface portion 23 having a relatively high rigidity and feeling a stimulus. Further, by locating the flange 51 having high rigidity on the outer peripheral edge portion of the distribution structure 50, the deformation of the outer peripheral edge portion is suppressed.

<Hinge structure>
Referring to FIGS. 2, 7 and 16, the upper lid 30 has a pair of shaft portions (both ends of the swivel shaft) 45 extending from both sides of the lower end of the connecting portion 32 extending downward from the lid body. The openings 26 and 54 can be opened and closed by the hinge portion (hinge structure) 5 formed by the bearing portion 23a located at the rear end portion of the concave surface portion 23 into which each shaft portion 45 is inserted. A band-shaped spring member 36 extending in the vertical direction Y is arranged between the concave surface portion 23 and the upper lid 30. The spring member 36 is an elastic strip made of synthetic rubber or natural rubber, and the upper lid 30 is spring-forced by the spring member 36 in a direction in which it opens. The spring member 36 is preferably folded in a plurality in the length direction in order to improve the strength, and has one end 36A and the other end 36B in the length direction, and insertion holes in both ends 36A and 36B. Is located.

The spring member 36 is attached to the upper lid 30 by inserting the insertion hole of 36A at one end into the protrusion 37 located above the connecting portion 32 on the inner surface of the upper lid 30, and the insertion hole of the other end 36B is inserted into the concave surface portion 23. It is in a stored state by being attached to the container body 20 by inserting it through a protrusion 38 protruding upward from the support surface 24. Further, since the other end 36B of the spring member 36 is sandwiched between the flange 51 of the distribution structure 50 and the support surface 24 of the concave surface portion 23, the other end 36B is more stably attached to the container body 20. Even if the opening and closing operation of the upper lid 30 is repeated, the container body 20 does not come off. Further, one end 36A of the spring member 36 is more stably fixed to the upper lid 30 by a cover member 39 that covers a portion of the upper lid 30 where the protrusion 37 is located. As the spring member 36, a conventional spring material such as a coil spring can be used instead of the illustrated example.

For example, in a conventional distribution container, a hinge structure is adopted in which the upper lid is rotatably supported by a pair of shaft portions protruding outward from both side edges of the upper lid and bearing portions facing them. There is. In such a hinge structure, since the separation distance from the spring member located at the substantially central portion in the lateral direction of the distribution container to the bearing portion is relatively large, the lid itself and the container body are affected by the repulsive force of the spring member. I will receive it. Therefore, when the distribution container is left in a room having a relatively high room temperature for a long time, the repulsive force of the spring member cannot be resisted and a part of the upper lid is thermally deformed, resulting in rotation. Occasionally, it may become difficult to open and close due to sliding contact with the distribution container, or the shaft portion may come off the bearing portion and cannot be opened or closed.

In the present embodiment, the lower end portion of the connecting portion 32 having the shaft portions 45 on both sides is arranged in the concave portion 28 located at the center of the lateral direction X in the rear end portion of the concave surface portion 23. Therefore, the lateral X dimension (separation dimension) L5 between the shaft portions 45 is smaller than the lateral dimension L4 of the upper lid 30, and the separation distance between the spring member 36 and the shaft portion 45 is relatively small. Therefore, the lid itself is not affected by the repulsive force of the spring member 36 and is not thermally deformed. Therefore, even if the distribution container 10 is left in a relatively high temperature room for a long time, the hinge function is lost. There is no.

Further, in the hinge structure of the present embodiment, by repeatedly opening and closing the upper lid 30, the spring member 36 bent so as to be convex forward gradually bends backward due to aging (softening). The portion may be sandwiched in the gap 49 between the lower end of the connecting portion 32 and the concave surface portion 23.

In the present embodiment, the concave portion 28 of the support surface 24 is provided with a movement regulating means 98 for restricting the rearward movement of the spring member 36. The movement restricting means 98 is formed of a protrusion located on the rear side of the protrusion 38 in the concave portion 28. Since the movement restricting means 98 is provided behind the spring member 36, even if the spring member 36 bends rearward due to deformation over time, the rearward movement is restricted, and a part thereof is the lower end and the concave surface of the connecting portion 32. It does not enter the gap 49 between the portion 23 and the portion 23.

Further, since both side edges of the upper lid 30 are not fixed to the container body 20, the entire lid body extending from the upper end edge 30a to the lower end edge 30b in the open state is from the rear surface (back surface) of the container body 20. Is also located behind. Therefore, the concave surface portion 23 of the container body 20 is not exposed to the outside, and a step is not formed between the upper lid 30 and the container body 20, so that a neat impression can be given in appearance. Further, the rear surface of the concave surface portion 23 of the container body 20 has a protruding portion that slightly protrudes upward, and the gap between the top lid 30 and the container body 20 is covered by the protruding portion, so that the top lid 30 is closed. Even in the state, the distribution container 10 can give a neat impression in appearance.

With reference to FIG. 3-5 again, the operation button 80 has a base 81 having an upper surface (finger resting surface) recessed toward the center, and a frame-shaped spring portion 82 extending downward from the base 81. Behind the spring portion 82, a shaft portion (mounting shaft) 83 to be fitted and inserted into the bearing hole 23b located in the front portion of the concave surface portion 23 is arranged. Further, a locked protrusion 84 is arranged behind the base 81, and the upper lid 30 is swiveled from the opened state to lock the latch 31 located at the front end edge 30a to the locked protrusion 84 of the operation button 80. Will be done. In a state where the upper lid 30 is closed and locked by the latch mechanism, by pressing the operation button 80 against the urging by the spring portion 82, the latch 31 is disengaged from the locked projection 84 and the upper lid 30 is swiveled. And it becomes open.

The operation button 80 rotates about the shaft portion 83, and when the spring portion 82 is located below the shaft portion 83, the operation button 80 is downward with respect to the spring portion 82 when the spring portion 82 is compressed. Since a force toward the direction and a force to deviate in the lateral direction X are required, it is necessary to press with a relatively strong force. In the present embodiment, the spring portion 82 is not arranged below the shaft portion 83, but is located so as to face each other in the front-rear direction Z, so that the pressing force directly acts on the spring portion 82. Therefore, the opening and closing operation can be performed with a relatively small force.

Referring to FIGS. 2 and 15, the bottom lid 70 is a container body located between the outer peripheral wall 71 rising from the bottom surface, the inner peripheral wall 72 extending above the outer peripheral wall 71, and the inner outer peripheral walls 71 and 72. It has a groove 73 into which the lower end of the 20 is inserted, and a support convex portion 74 extending further upward from the four corners of the inner peripheral wall 72. The support convex portion 74 has a substantially trapezoidal cross section having a flat top surface, and the bottom lid 70 can be attached to the container body 20 by sliding the support convex portion 74 with the inner surface of the corner portion of the container body 20. Therefore, it can function as an insertion guide.

Further, the package 90 can be housed in the distribution container 10 in a state of being supported by the support convex portion 74 of the bottom lid 70. For example, in the case of the package 90 having the seal portion 93 located so as to surround the package opening 92 as shown in FIG. 12B, the package 90 is housed in a state of being attached to the inner surface of the support surface 24 of the container body 20. However, in such a case, the package 90 is placed on the support convex portion 74, so that the package 90 can be more stably housed in the container body 20. Further, since the support convex portion 74 has a flat top surface, the package 90 can be stably supported in the storage container.

On the outer surface (outer surface of the outer peripheral wall 71) of the corners (four corners) of the bottom lid 70, thin plate-shaped operating ribs 75 projecting outward are located. In the assembled state of the distribution container 10, the entire outer peripheral surface of the inner peripheral wall 72 of the bottom lid 70 is in contact with the inner surface of the container body 20, and the inside of the container body 20 is airtight. The bottom lid 70 is difficult to remove due to the pressure difference. Further, even if the user tries to pull the bottom lid 70 in the direction away from the container body 20 by pinching the outer surface of the curved outer peripheral wall 71 with a finger, the fingertip slips and the force cannot be transmitted well. In the present embodiment, since the operation rib 75 is located on the outer surface of the corner of the bottom lid 70, the container body can be easily pulled by holding the operation rib 75 or by hooking a fingertip on the operation rib 75 and pulling the bottom lid 70. Can be removed from 20.

Further, in order to easily separate the container body 20 and the bottom lid 70, a lubricant is applied to the inner surface of the peripheral wall 22 of the container body 20 in contact with the support convex portion 74 and / or the support convex portion 74, or the bottom lid 70 is subjected to graining or the like. It may be processed to reduce friction. In such a case, together with the bottom cover 70 is easily disengaged more from the container body 20 when pulled the operation ribs 75, in a state in which a stack of a plurality of container body 20 in the manufacturing process, it becomes easy to individually separated. The operation ribs 75 are arranged at the four corners of the bottom lid 70 for convenience of operation, but may be arranged at least at the corners.

In the present embodiment, the distribution structure 50 and the container body 20 are formed separately, but they can also be integrally formed by two-color molding. However, by forming the distribution structure 50 as a separate body, the other end 36B of the spring member 36 can be suppressed between the spring member 36 and the support surface 24, and a part of the spring member 36 is broken or deformed due to deterioration over time to form a mouse structure. Even if the closed structure cannot function well, it can be made to function by replacing it with a new distribution structure 50.

<Other embodiments>
FIG. 17 is a perspective view of the lid mechanism 2 in another embodiment. The basic configuration of the lid mechanism 2 according to the present embodiment is the same as the basic configuration of the lid mechanism 2 shown in FIGS. 1 to 16, and the same reference numerals are used for the same components, which are different. Only the points will be described below.

In the present embodiment, the lid mechanism 2 has a lateral direction X, a front-rear direction Z, and a vertical direction Y intersecting them, and is directly attached to the upper surface of the package 90 via a seal portion 93. Includes 3. The mechanism main body 3 is arranged on the concave surface portion 23 of the top wall 121, and has a distribution structure 50 having a distribution opening 54 capable of popping out the sheet material 9, front and rear end edges 30a, 30b, and rear. It includes an upper lid 30 that is rotatably attached to the mechanism main body 3 on the edge 30b side via a hinge portion 5 and can airtightly close the distribution opening 54.

Also in such an embodiment, the upper lid 30 and the distribution opening 54 are formed by the annular seal portion including the upper seal portion 7 formed by the peripheral wall 52 and the upper lid 30 of the distribution structure 50 and the lower seal portion 8 formed by the peripheral wall 52 and the support protrusion 27. The space between and can be made airtight. Further, a space is formed between the container opening 26 and the distribution opening 54, and the distribution opening 54 has a mouse structure composed of the first hole portion 57 and the second hole portion 58, so that an excellent distribution effect can be obtained. Can be demonstrated.

Supplementing the sheet material 9 in the present invention, the sheet material 9 can be used by freely selecting the sheet material and the impregnated liquid for the purpose of wiping off dirt on the object and adhering the impregnated liquid to the object. In the case of a liquid component mainly composed of water, which can be used, for example, a fibrous nonwoven fabric mainly composed of cellulose-based fibers which can be retained by containing water, for example, rayon, pulp, cotton. As a sheet material, a spunlace fiber non-woven fabric or an air-laid fiber non-woven fabric made by blending a single body of the above or fibers containing these in a predetermined ratio can be preferably used.

The liquid component impregnated in the sheet material 9 includes water, alcohols or fats and oils as a base, an auxiliary component of the base, a preservative for maintaining the quality of the product, and an activity for removing stains. Agents and solvent ingredients, bactericidal and antibacterial ingredients to give bactericidal and antibacterial effects, moisturizers and medicinal ingredients to give good effects to the skin, fragrances, chelating agents and buffers to stabilize liquid ingredients, solubilization Agents and the like can be used. When water is used as the base of the liquid component of the sheet material 9, the sheet materials 9 are in a state of being attached to each other due to the surface tension of the water. Therefore, when the sheet material 9 is pulled out, the appropriate frictional resistance is provided by the distribution opening 54. Need to be given. On the other hand, when an alcohol component is used as the base of the sheet material 9, the sheet materials can be separated from each other relatively easily, and it is necessary to store the sheet material in a sealed state in consideration of its volatility. A structure for making the inside airtight like the annular seal portion in the present invention is required. Therefore, the container 10 according to the present invention can be used as a distribution / storage container regardless of whether the base of the sheet material 9 is water or an alcohol component.

Unless otherwise specified, the members constituting the lid mechanism 2, the packaging body 90, and the distribution container 10 are commonly used in this type of field in addition to the materials described in the present specification. Known materials can be used without limitation. In addition, terms such as "first" and "second" used in the present specification are used only for distinguishing similar elements, positions, and the like.
