Description

[Detailed explanation of the invention] (a) Industrial application field The present invention relates to a waste storage container, and is particularly suitable for storing used sanitary napkins and tampons for women that are contaminated with menstrual blood. This is a suitable container.

(b) Conventional technology If sanitary napkins and tampons that have been used and have menstrual blood attached to them are thrown into the toilet bowl of a flush toilet, they will block the pipes, etc., so conventionally, they were disposed of in plastic, which was placed near the toilet bowl. It is well known that once stored in a container made of enamel or enamel, it is disposed of.

This conventionally used container has a general shape with an opening/closing lid, and sanitary napkins can be placed directly into the container or into a plastic bag inside the container. Was.

Therefore, when disposing of sanitary napkins etc. stored in this container, unsightly sanitary napkins with menstrual blood adhering to them inevitably come into view, causing discomfort to the person disposing of them.

Further, when putting one's own sanitary napkin into the container, used sanitary napkins previously stored by another person may come into view, causing discomfort in this case as well.

Furthermore, just imagining that someone else can see a sanitary napkin or the like that has one's own menstrual blood on it causes mental pain such as feelings of shame.

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, a garbage container disclosed in, for example, Japanese Utility Model Application Publication No. 55-86001 has been proposed.

However, in the device disclosed in the above-mentioned publication, the lid has a straight shape because it is attached to the inside of the side where the inlet is opened, and its elastic force is inevitably weak. . Therefore, the free end of the lid would sag due to gravity, and there was a risk that the inlet would not be completely closed and the contents would be visible.

That is, since the inside of the input port and the side surface on which it is opened are flat, the lid attached thereto has a flat plate shape in the horizontal direction, and the force that closes the input port is weak. .

If the lid itself is made of a thick and hard material, the resiliency will be strengthened and the free end will be prevented from sagging, but this will make it difficult to throw in the waste.

Furthermore, although the industrial field of application is extremely different from that of the present invention, Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 58-40315 describes a rotary compressor discharge valve having a U-shaped cross section. In this case, the purpose of forming the cross section into a U-shape is to fix each end to the side wall of the cylinder, but not to strengthen the elastic force.

(c) Problems to be solved by the invention When conventional containers are used as described above, people who put their used sanitary napkins into the container and those who discard the sanitary napkins inside the container are It caused visual and olfactory discomfort and mental pain.

Furthermore, as mentioned above, in conventional containers, the lid has a straight and flat shape because it is attached to the inside of the side where the inlet is opened, and its elasticity is weak. I have no choice but to do so.

Therefore, if the lid body itself is made of a thick and hard material, the elasticity will be strengthened and the free end will be prevented from sagging, but this will make it difficult for the lid body to deform inward, and this will cause the waste to be removed. This has the disadvantage that it is difficult to input.

The present invention was developed in view of the drawbacks of conventional containers, and by making the container a so-called disposable type, there is no need for the person who puts in the sanitary napkins after use or the person who cleans the container. The purpose is to prevent giving pleasure.

Another object of the present invention is to realize a container that can reliably close the inlet even if a relatively flexible member is used.

(d) Means for solving the problem In the present invention, at least one waste inlet is opened on the side other than the bottom of a closed casing formed of an opaque material, and an elastic material is provided inside the inlet. In a waste storage container equipped with an opaque check valve-like lid body having an opaque lid, an upright piece is provided protruding from the inside of the side surface where the inlet is opened, and the upright piece has an opaque lid attached to the inlet. The base of the lid body is fixed to the side surface on the near side, and the lid body is curved in an L-shape along the side surface on the fixed side of the upright piece and the inside of the side surface where the input port is formed. That is.

(E) Effect In the present invention, since a check valve-like lid is attached to the waste input port of the closing lid, the waste once stored will not be taken out from the inside of the storage container.

In particular, in the present invention, since the lid body is provided along the side surface on the fixed side of the upright piece and the inside of the side face where the input port is opened, the lid body is elastically deformed into an L-shape, and its elastic force This will cause it to be strongly pressed against the inlet.

(f) Embodiment FIGS. 1 to 3 show a first embodiment of the present invention, in which FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a state in which the closed casing is pulled out slightly upward from the open casing, and the second embodiment is The figure is a perspective view of the top plate seen from the back side, and FIG. 3 is a perspective view showing the bag portion.

In these figures, 1 is a closed case, and this closed case 1 includes a top plate 2 made of cardboard or hard plastic, and a soft vinyl adhesive or welded to the bottom surface of this top plate 2. It is composed of a cube-shaped bag portion 3 made of An oblong waste inlet 5 is provided at an appropriate location on the top plate 2 for inserting used sanitary napkins 4 (see FIG. 6) and tampons as waste. Note that two or more input ports 5 may be provided.

An upright piece 6 is provided protruding from an appropriate location on the back surface of the top plate 2, and on this upright piece 6, a base of a lid body 7 formed of an elastic opaque plastic thin plate (film) such as polyester is attached. Glued or welded. Therefore, the vicinity of the free end of the lid 7 is pressed and sealed in the direction of closing the input port 5 from the inside to the outside, like a check valve.

At this time, since the lid 7 is provided along the inside of the side surface where the upright piece 6 and the input port 5 of the top plate 2 are formed, the lid 7 is elastically deformed into an L-shape. Therefore, the input port 5 is strongly pressed against the input port by the elastic force.

A linear collar 8 projecting outward is formed on the opening edge of the bag portion 3, and the upper surface of this collar 8 is connected to the top plate 2.
is fixed to the back of the

Reference numeral 9 denotes an open housing to which the bag portion 3 of the closed housing 1 is detachably attached, and is made of hard plastic or cardboard, and has a pattern (not shown) such as a painting or design on the outer surface. has been done. When the closed housing 1 is attached from the top of the open housing 9, the bag portion 3 of the closed housing 1 is placed on the opening edge 10 of the open housing 9.
The part corresponding to the collar 8 is abutted and constructed, and the closed casing 1 is held by this part and will not be deformed even if the bag part 3 is soft.

Reference numeral 11 indicates a leg portion of the open casing 9. Further, the open housing 9 may be formed of a net shape like a case of a flower pot.

Note that the open housing 9 has a bottom plate bent upward,
The entire housing may be configured to be foldable.

Further, the top plate 2 and the bag portion 3 of the closed casing 1 may be specially prepared and configured such that both 2 and 3 are adhered with double-sided tape during use.

FIG. 4 is a perspective view showing another embodiment of the top plate 2 of the closed housing 1, viewed from the back side. In the following embodiments, the same parts as in the first embodiment are given the same reference numerals. In this embodiment, a square-shaped strip 12 is provided on the back side of the top plate 2 to be inserted into the bag portion 3.
is formed in a protruding manner, and a lid body 7 similar to that described above is attached to a part of this strip 12.

FIG. 5 is a partial sectional view of the above embodiment, and FIG. 6 is a partial sectional view showing a state in which a used sanitary napkin 4 is inserted into the closed casing 1.

FIG. 7 is a partial cross-sectional view showing an embodiment in which two lids 7 are disposed oppositely on opposing portions of the strip 12.

Moreover, FIG. 8 is a perspective view of the top plate 2 formed of cardboard paper, viewed from the back side.

FIG. 9 is a perspective view of a second embodiment, showing a closed casing 1 having an inverted truncated cone shape and an open casing 9 of the same type to which the closed casing 1 is attached. In this figure, 2 is a top plate, 5 is a waste inlet, and 7 is a lid similar to the above.

(G) Effects of the invention In this invention, waste is disposed of along with the storage container;
Since the waste is never removed from the storage container, it is not visible to the person disposing of the waste in the storage container. Therefore, it does not cause any discomfort.

In addition, since the lid body is elastically biased in the direction of closing the waste input port, when throwing in waste, the user cannot see other waste that has already existed, causing discomfort. I won't let it happen.

Furthermore, since the lid body is arranged along the side surface to which the upright piece is fixed and the inside of the side surface on which the insertion port is opened, the lid body elastically deforms into an L-shape, strengthening its elastic force, and the elastic force presses the lid body firmly against the insertion port, ensuring that the insertion port is securely closed.

Furthermore, since the storage container is so-called disposable, there is no need to wash it, making it sanitary.
