[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a canned hand towel containing a hand towel in a metal can.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art It has been about 30 years since the use of hand towels began to spread, and nowadays, the service of hand towels is indispensable in restaurants and the like. Traditionally, restaurants have been providing rental towels with a plastic film bag enclosed in a plastic film bag, but this towel towel is not only hygienically unsatisfactory, but it cannot be preserved and is a wet towel. Since it has been used for several times, it has an unpleasant odor and does not have a clean feeling, which gives the user an unpleasant feeling.

[0003]

Therefore, a disposable hand towel is provided, which is a paper hand towel enclosed in a bag made of a plastic film.
It is discarded after use, and the plastic film is made of a material with low gas permeability, so it has a long shelf life.
Although it can be extended up to about a month, mildew may occur depending on the conditions, or the water absorption rate may be significantly reduced, resulting in poor usability.

Further, all of the conventional hand towels are for business use, and are not easily available to general consumers when they want to use them for leisure, sports or business trips. The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and the purpose thereof is that it can be stored for a long period of time, has a constant water absorption rate, can be cooled and heated freely, and has an existing automatic beverage or the like. It is to provide canned hand towels that can be used by vending machines and can be easily obtained by general consumers when needed.

[0005]

The canned hand towel according to the present invention comprises an openable metal can 1 and a wet hand towel 2 which is impregnated with water containing a preservative and a fragrance. The above problem is solved by this configuration.

The can 1 contains a hand towel 2 before being sealed. The hand towel 2 is made of cotton, which can secure a feeling of use and has good absorbency, and is preferably a non-woven fabric type. The hand towel 2 is impregnated with water containing a preservative and a fragrance. The impregnation amount may be about 10 to 30 wt%, but is not particularly limited. Preservatives prevent the development of mold, deodorize, disinfect,
