As the household thin paper P, for example, small wet sheets, wet tissues, etc. are alternately folded and stacked, and when one wet sheet, wet tissue, etc. is pulled out, the next wet sheet, wet tissue, etc. A so-called pop-up sheet is used, which is formed so that the other parts can also be pulled out. In addition, for example, a long wet sheet, wet tissue, or the like perforated at regular intervals in the length direction is wound into a roll, and a roll sheet that is separated along the perforation for use may also be used. can.

(container body)
As shown in FIGS. 1 to 7, the container body 10 is, for example, generally formed in a substantially rectangular parallelepiped shape that is longer in the Y direction than in the X and Z directions. It is divided into two parts, and is formed of a container main body upper portion 11 forming the upper side of the container main body 10 and a container main body lower portion 12 forming the lower side of the container main body 10 . The container main body upper portion 11 and the container main body lower portion 12 are connected by a connecting portion 13 at the rear surface portion of the container main body 10 .
The container main body upper portion 11, the container main body lower portion 12, and the connecting portion 13 are integrally formed by a method such as injection molding (two-color molding).

As shown in FIGS. 1 to 7, the container main body 10 is a state in which an upper container main body portion 11 and a lower container main portion portion 12 are combined, and the internal storage space S is closed. 150 mm, more preferably 80 mm to 100 mm, preferably 80 mm to 200 mm, more preferably 145 mm to 165 mm in the Y direction, preferably 30 mm to 100 mm, more preferably 50 mm to 70 mm in the Z direction. there is
The thickness of each surface is preferably 0.5 mm to 3 mm, more preferably 1 mm to 2 mm.
With this size and thickness, molding efficiency is high, and strength that poses no problem in actual use can be achieved.

(connection part)
As shown in FIG. 3, the household thin paper storage container 1 is formed so as to rotate around a connecting portion 13 that connects an upper container body 11 and a container lower body 12 as a fulcrum. As a result, the storage space S can be exposed to the outside as shown in FIG.
Further, when closing the storage space S, the user may turn the container main body upper portion 11 in the opposite direction to the above.

In addition, as shown in FIG. 3, the connection portion 13 is formed to be thinner than other portions of the household thin paper storage container 1, so that the connection portion 13 can be easily bent and the upper portion of the container main body can be bent. 11 can be easily rotated with respect to the container main body lower portion 12 with the connecting portion 13 as a fulcrum.

It is also possible to form the container body upper portion 11 and the container body lower portion 12 separately and to connect them rotatably with a hinge or the like, although the productivity is lowered.
In addition, by dividing the container body 10 into an upper container body 11 and a lower container body 12 above the center in the Z direction, the stored household thin paper P can be stored while being covered with a predetermined package. When stored in the space S, it is possible to reduce the risk of pinching the end seal portion of the package when the storage space S is closed, making it easier to refill the household thin paper P.

The position at which the container body 10 is divided into the upper container body portion 11 and the lower container body portion 12 may be near the central portion in the Z direction.

(Upper container body)
As shown in FIGS. 2 to 8, the container main body upper part 11 is formed, for example, in a substantially rectangular parallelepiped shape with a substantially rectangular opening on the lower surface. A concave portion 112 is formed downward in the direction, and a take-out portion 113 having a take-out hole 113a for taking out the household thin paper P in the storage space S is provided in the center of the concave portion 112 . Furthermore, a housing recess 115 in which the biasing member 114 is housed is formed at the rear end, and a button mounting portion 116 for mounting the button portion 3 is formed at the front end.
Further, at the lower end of the lower surface of the container body upper portion 11, an annular outer edge portion 117 and an annular inner edge portion 118 provided inside the outer edge portion 117 and protruding downward from the outer edge portion 117 are formed. ing.
A handle portion 119 is formed at the lower end portion of the front surface of the container main body upper portion 11 to be gripped when the storage space S is exposed.

(Material of the upper part of the container body)
The container main body upper part 11 is made of a hard material. For example, polyethylene, polypropylene, or the like can be used as the hard material. The hardness measurement method is the same as described for the elastic material.
Moreover, it is desirable that the portion formed of the elastic material and the portion formed of the hard material, which will be described later, be integrally formed by injection molding (two-color molding).

(recess)
The concave portion 112 is formed near the central portion of the top surface portion 111 in plan view, as shown in FIG. FIG. 2 illustrates the case where the concave portion 112 has a substantially rectangular curved shape reaching the front end portion of the container body upper portion 11 in plan view, but the specific shape of the concave portion 112 is not limited to this.
It is preferable that the depth of the concave portion 112 in the Z direction is 5 mm to 20 mm when viewed from the top surface portion 111 . Also, the size in a plan view is not particularly limited as long as the extracting portion 113 can be formed inside, but is preferably 40 mm to 80 mm in the X direction and 40 mm to 120 mm in the Y direction.

(Extraction part)
The take-out portion 113 is a portion made of an elastic material and is formed near the central portion of the recess 112 in a plan view. At approximately the center of the take-out portion 113, a bulging portion 113b that rises in a substantially spherical shape is formed. The bulging portion 113b is provided with an extraction hole 113a.
In addition, three projecting pieces 113c are provided on the edge of the extraction hole 113a and protrude from the edge on the front side toward the central portion of the extraction portion 113. As shown in FIG.
It is desirable that the extraction part 113 is formed in a film shape with a thickness in the Z direction of 0.5 mm to 2 mm, for example.
As the elastic material forming the extraction portion 113, for example, a material having elasticity such as silicone rubber or thermoplastic elastomer such as styrene-butadiene, polyester, polyethylene or urethane can be used. 90 is desirable. The hardness is measured according to JIS K 6253 (type A durometer).

In addition, if the hardness of the elastic material is lower than the above value, it is too soft and difficult to mold, resulting in poor molding efficiency, which is undesirable.
Further, if the hardness of the elastic material is higher than the above value, the take-out portion 113 formed with the take-out hole 113a for taking out the household thin paper P becomes hard, and excessive resistance is applied, making it difficult to take out the sheets one by one. In addition, it is difficult to insert a finger into the storage space S when pulling out the sheet.

(extraction hole)
The extraction hole 113a is a hole that is formed in the central portion of the extraction section 113 in a plan view and communicates with the storage space S. As shown in FIG.
For example, in FIG. 2, the extraction hole 113a has a shape in which each side of a triangle protrudes inward in an arc shape, and three slits connect each vertex and the center of gravity. It is letter-shaped. Moreover, the width of the slit extending in the X direction among the three slits is wider than the width of the other slits.
The number of slits may be smaller or larger than this, and for example, two slits may be formed in a cross shape.
Since the periphery of the ejection hole 113a is made of an elastic material, the ejection portion 113 can apply appropriate resistance to the household thin paper P, and the household thin paper P stored in the storage space S can be pulled out. After that, it functions to hold the next household thin paper P. Further, when the household thin paper P is a roll sheet, it is possible to cut the household thin paper P by perforations for cutting.

The projecting piece 113c is a portion where the household thin paper P pulled out from the take-out hole 113a slides, and is provided to apply appropriate resistance to the household thin paper P pulled out from the take-out hole 113a.
Specifically, when the user opens the opening/closing lid 2 of the household thin paper storage container 1 and takes out the household thin paper P, the opening/closing lid 2 in an upright posture is placed behind the household thin paper storage container 1. The user reaches out from the front side of the household thin paper storage container 1 and pulls out the household thin paper P from the take-out hole 113a so as not to interfere with the operation of taking out the household thin paper P. The household thin paper sheet P which is drawn comes into sliding contact with the projecting piece 113c on the front side edge.
At this time, the projecting piece 113c protruding rearward from the edge of the near side comes into sliding contact with the household thin paper P drawn forward from the take-out hole 113a. appropriate resistance can be applied to prevent the household thin paper P from being pulled out too much from the take-out hole 113a.
That is, the projecting piece 113c protruding rearward from the edge on the front side imparts an appropriate frictional force to the household thin paper P pulled out from the take-out hole 113a to the front side, and the household thin paper P is pulled out and used. It has a function to prevent the next household thin paper P to be pulled out after P from being pulled out too much from the take-out hole 113a.
Then, the next household thin paper P pulled out following the household thin paper P to be used is held in the take-out hole 113a with its one end pulled out to a proper length.

One end of the household thin paper P held in the take-out hole 113a is supported by three projections including the front projection 113c.
Since the ejection hole 113a for holding one end of the household thin paper P is provided in the bulging portion 113b of the ejection portion 113, the tip side of each projecting piece 113c is the base surface around the bulging portion 113b. It is positioned higher than the portion 113 .
One end of the household thin paper P is held in the ejection hole 113a by being supported at a position higher than the surroundings by the projecting piece 113c, so that the household thin paper P can be easily picked up.

[Effects of Embodiment]
Main effects obtained by this embodiment will be described below.

(Handle part)
According to this embodiment, a handle portion 119 is provided in the container main body upper portion 11 of the household thin paper storage container 1, and the inner peripheral side of the handle portion 119 is formed into a curved surface by R processing, so that the inner peripheral side has an acute angle. As compared with the case of a certain case, it becomes easier to spread the handle portion 119 outward, it becomes easier to release the engagement between the locking portion 1191 and the engaging projection 123, and the storage space S can be easily exposed. .
In particular, since a plurality of locking portions 1191 are provided at positions left and right away from the central portion of the inner surface of the handle portion 119 in the horizontal direction, when a finger is put in the vicinity of the center of the handle portion 119, the locking portion The storage space S can be exposed by releasing the engagement between the container body upper portion 11 and the container body lower portion 12 more easily without the 1191 becoming an obstacle.

Further, since the handle portion 119 is provided with a locking portion 1191, the user can hook the upper container body portion 11 and the lower container body portion 12 by hooking a finger in the gap a between the front surface of the upper container body 11 and the handle portion 119. can be easily released to expose the storage space S.
In addition, two locking portions 1191 are formed on the inner surface of the handle portion 119, and the distance between the two locking portions 1191 is wider than the finger width, thereby rotating the container main body upper portion 11. At this time, it becomes easier for a finger to enter between the two locking portions 1191, and it becomes easier to rotate the container main body upper portion 11, so that the storage space S can be easily exposed.
The length of the engaging projection 123 in the left-right direction is longer than the length obtained by adding the length of the two locking portions 1191 in the left-right direction and the distance between the two locking portions 1191 . Since the locking portions 1191 are engaged, the strength is higher than when the engaging projections 123 are individually provided for the respective locking portions 1191, and the locking portions 1191 can be engaged more stably.

(overall structure)
Since the container main body 10 is composed of a container main body upper portion 11 and a container main body lower portion 12, which are connected at the rear surface thereof by a connecting portion 13, the household thin paper storage container 1 can be placed on the placing surface. The storage space S is exposed by rotating the container main body upper part 11 about the rear end part, and the household thin paper P can be refilled.
Therefore, when refilling the household thin paper P, the refilling work can be performed more easily while the paper is placed on the placement surface.
Further, the handle portion 119 overlaps the engagement protrusion 123 provided on the lower container body 12 in the front-rear direction when the upper container body 11 and the lower container body 12 are engaged with each other. As a result, the engaging projection 123 is structured so that it cannot be seen from the front, so it is also visually pleasing.

In addition, since the container main body upper portion 11, the container main body lower portion 12, and the connecting portion 13 are integrally formed by a method such as injection molding (two-color molding), manufacturing efficiency of the household thin paper storage container 1 is improved. But excellent.

In addition, since the household thin paper P held in the take-out hole 113a is not pinched by the opening/closing lid 2, the wet household thin paper P (such as wet tissue) is sandwiched between the opening/closing lid 2 and the container main body 10 is removed. There is no trouble that it will protrude outside and dry.

If the household thin paper storage container 1 is provided with the take-out hole 113a, the household thin paper P can be suitably pulled out and used, and the household thin paper P pulled out and used is followed by the next household pulled out. One end of the thin paper sheet P can be held in the take-out hole 113a so as not to interfere with the opening/closing lid 2 being closed.
Since the household thin paper P pulled out to an appropriate length is held in the take-out hole 113a, it is preferable to pull out and use the household thin paper P stored in the storage space S. can be repeated for

Also, of the three slits of the extraction hole 113a, only the width of the slit extending in the X direction is wider than the width of the other slits. The support points of one end of the household thin paper P held in the holes 113a are dispersed, and the one end of the household thin paper P can be more stably supported by the take-out hole 113a.
In addition, since the width of the other two slits extending to the near side is relatively narrow, it is possible to prevent one end from entering the slits when taking out the household thin paper P.

(Button part etc.)
According to the household thin paper storage container 1 according to this embodiment, the button portion 3 is attached to the body side fitting portion 1161 surrounded by the button movable portion 1162 projecting downward. As a result, when the user presses the upper surface portion 31 of the button portion 3 from above while the opening/closing lid 2 is closed, the button movable portion 1162 is distorted downward regardless of the pressing position, thereby causing the button portion to move downward. 3 will sink downwards.

At this time, since the button-side engaging portion 21 of the opening/closing lid 2 is inserted into the button-side engaging portion 33 of the button portion 3, when the button portion 3 sinks downward, the opening/closing lid 2 also moves accordingly. Although the opening/closing lid 2 is pushed downward, the opening/closing lid 2 is urged upward by the urging member 114, and such an urging force becomes stronger as the opening/closing lid 2 sinks downward.
Therefore, when the button portion 3 is pushed to a certain extent, the opening/closing lid 2 sinks accordingly, and the upward biasing force on the opening/closing lid 2 increases. Since they are engaged only by the engaging portion 21 and the button-side engaging portion 33, when the biasing force to the opening/closing lid 2 increases, this engagement is released and the opening/closing lid 2 is opened.

Therefore, according to the present embodiment, the opening/closing lid 2 can be easily opened regardless of which part of the upper surface of the button portion 3 is pressed.

Further, since the container main body upper portion 11 has the button attachment portion 116 having the main body side fitting portion 1161, the button portion 3 can be easily and stably fixed.

Further, in the button portion 3, the inclination angle of the tip portion 31a of the upper surface portion 31 is formed to be larger than the inclination angle of the base end portion 31b. It becomes difficult to put a finger into b, and when refilling household thin paper P, it is possible to prevent the button portion 3 from being mistakenly grasped for the handle portion 119 and to be turned.

(biasing member)
Further, according to the household thin paper storage container 1 according to the present embodiment, the opening/closing lid 2 can be urged in the opening direction only by providing the urging member 114 with an elastic material in the upper part 11 of the container main body.
On the other hand, for example, if a spring-like urging member that stands upright is provided and is connected to the opening/closing lid 2, the spring-like biasing member will repeatedly bend and stretch each time the opening/closing lid 2 is opened and closed. Therefore, such a spring-like portion is likely to deteriorate, and the urging force to the opening/closing lid 2 is likely to weaken early. If the biasing force to the opening/closing lid 2 weakens to a certain extent, it will not be possible to release it with one touch.
According to this embodiment, the biasing member 114 made of an elastic material is pushed by the opening/closing lid 2 to generate a biasing force against the opening/closing lid 2. Therefore, the portion made of the elastic material is deformed. Since the amount is small and it is hard to deteriorate, the urging force to the opening/closing lid 2 is hard to weaken.

Further, since the concave portion 112 is provided with the storage concave portion 115, it is possible to prevent excessive pressure applied to the contact portion of the biasing member 114 with the concave portion 112, thereby reducing the risk of the biasing member 114 being damaged. .

Further, since the urging member 114 is formed on the rear side of the container body 10 near the fulcrum of rotation of the opening/closing lid 2, the urging force on the opening/closing lid 2 is strengthened, making it easier to open it.

(Clogging of container)
When the storage space S is closed, the inner edge portion 118 of the container body upper portion 11 is fitted into the concave groove portion 121 of the container body lower portion 12, so that pressure is applied to the household thin paper storage container 1 in the X direction and the Y direction. Even in such a case, the storage space S is not easily exposed, can be kept closed, and has good airtightness.

Further, when the storage space S is closed by the first guide portion 1212a and the second guide portion 1212b provided in the container body lower portion 12, the inner edge portion 118 of the container body upper portion 11 hits and is guided to the concave groove portion 121 as it is. As a result, the storage space S can be closed more reliably.
In particular, since the two first guide portions 1212a are higher in the Z direction than the second guide portions 1212b, when closing the storage space S, the container body upper portion 11 is positioned against the container body lower portion 12. Even if it is twisted to some extent, it is guided by the higher first guide portion 1212a and the trajectory is corrected, so that the storage space S can be more reliably closed.
Furthermore, the two first guide portions 1212a are provided at both left and right end portions of the rear surface so as to extend to the left surface or the right surface, respectively, so that the above effect can be further enhanced.
Further, since the second guide portion 1212b is provided in a wavy shape, the contact resistance can be reduced more than when the second guide portion 1212b is provided over the entire lateral direction, and the opening/closing operation can be performed more smoothly. be able to.

(Other configurations)
In addition, since the non-slip portion 122 is provided on the upper surface of the container main body lower portion 12, the household thin paper P in the storage space S moves when the household thin paper P is taken out from the take-out hole 113a, and is less likely to collapse. , household thin paper P can be stably taken out.

In addition, part of the non-slip portion 122 is in contact with the mounting surface and serves as the mounting portion 1221, thereby enhancing the stability when the household thin paper storage container 1 is mounted on the mounting surface. be able to.

In addition, when the opening/closing lid 2 is closed, the opening/closing lid side sealing ring portion 22 is in contact with the outer periphery of the extraction portion 113, so that the airtightness of the storage space S can be improved.
