Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to an improvement of a portable wet hand towel warmer capable of increasing the sealing property and quickly raising the temperature.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 Conventionally, as a structure in which the reaction liquid container is broken at the time of use and the outflowing reaction liquid is brought into contact with a heat-generating substance such as quick lime to rapidly generate heat to steam the towel, there is known, for example, Mitsukaihei 1-126192. Water vapor generated during the exothermic reaction may leak and adhere to the towel. Therefore, improvements have been made such that the outside of the container accommodating the exothermic substance and the reaction solution container is further covered with a bag so that the water vapor does not adhere to the towel. However, when breaking the reaction solution container, it is indispensable to make a hole that communicates with the outside, so it is dangerous because water vapor gushes from the hole to the outside, and the heat generation efficiency decreases and wetting in a short time. It has the drawback of being difficult to heat to high temperatures.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 The present invention was created in view of the above circumstances, and its main problem is that when a hole is formed in the reaction solution container, the hole communicating with the outside is closed to generate heat, and the hand towel is wetted in a short time. (EN) It is possible to provide a portable hand towel warmer capable of heating the cloth for use and pulling out the lid after heating time to take out the cloth for hand towel stored in the container.

[0004]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides a portable hand towel warmer in which a heating cylinder is sealed in a container, and a towel cloth is brought into contact with the outer periphery of the heating body. The exothermic cylinder is configured to accommodate the exothermic substance and the reaction liquid container in which the reaction liquid that causes an exothermic reaction with the exothermic substance is sealed, and leave a void in the upper opening. The container comprises a container body for fixing the heating cylinder and a lid having a stopper fitted and fixed in a space of an upper opening of the heating cylinder. Around this, a thin-walled part whose thickness is set thinner than other lid parts and set to a rupturable thickness is formed.Penetrate the stopper part from the upper part of the above-mentioned lid part, and make a hole in the reaction solution container. The technical measure is to equip the pins with a length that allows the reaction solution to contact the exothermic substance.

[0005]

[Action]

 When the pin penetrates the stopper from the top of the lid and is inserted into the reaction solution container, the reaction solution flows out from the reaction solution container to the heating element and generates heat and steam is filled in the heating cylinder. Since it is still inserted in the lid, the outflow of water vapor is suppressed, heat generation efficiency is improved, and the towel cloth is heated to a high temperature in a short time through the heat generating cylinder. Therefore, when force is applied to the lid and the thin portion around the stopper is broken, the stopper remains in the heating cylinder, the lid separates from the container body, and the container body opens, and the heating cylinder You can remove the towel cloth wrapped around it. Also, if the upper end surface of the container body and the lower end surface of the lid body set at the corresponding position are set to be planes of substantially the same angle, the lid body can be pushed and moved along the plane. It is possible to break the stopper portion of the lid body and smoothly separate the lid body from the container body.

【Example】

 A preferred embodiment of the portable hand towel warmer according to the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. As shown in FIG. 1, this portable hand towel warmer includes a container body 1 having an upper opening, a lid body 2 for closing the opening, and a heating cylinder 3 housed in the container body 1. , A pin 4 and a cloth 5 for hand towel such as a towel wound around the heating cylinder 3 and housed in the container body 1.

That is, in this embodiment, the container is made of styrofoam excellent in heat retention, and the container body 1 is made of a tubular body 10 having a rectangular cross section, and a heating tubular body 3 and a towel are provided in the center. Has a hollow portion 11 for accommodating the cloth 5, and a fixing recess 12 into which the heat-generating cylinder 3 is fitted is formed in the bottom portion. In the illustrated example, the bottom portion is formed separately from the container body 1 and integrally fixed thereto.

As is clear from FIG. 5, the hollow portion 11 has a shape in which one corner side of the cylindrical body 10 of the container body 1 is largely opened. Further, a vertical groove 16 for locking the pin 5 is formed at the center on the front side of the cylindrical body 10 above and below. At the upper end of the cylindrical body 10, a convex strip 11 is provided upright along the rear short side, and an inclined surface 14 extending along the left and right long sides and inclined so as to gradually rise toward the front. , 14 are formed. In addition, reference numeral 15 in the drawing denotes a raised portion slightly raised along the hollow portion 11.

Next, the lid body 2 is formed of a rectangular disk corresponding to the above-mentioned cylinder body 10, has a substantially cylindrical plug portion 21 projecting downward in approximately the bottom surface, and the left and right sides of the bottom surface. The long sides on both sides are set to be inclined surfaces whose lower end surfaces are set at the same inclination angle so that the lower end surfaces thereof overlap the inclined surfaces 14 and 14 without any gap, and a notch is formed at a portion corresponding to the ridge 13. A pair of left and right side wall portions 22 and 22 are formed.

On the other hand, on the upper surface of the lid body 2, there is formed a substantially mortar-shaped recess 23 that is recessed toward the plug portion 21, and the lowest part of the recess portion 23 is arranged on the center line of the plug portion 21. Thus, a recess 24 is formed to fit the head 41 of the pin 4 with no space. A guide portion having a V-shaped cross section is formed in the center of the recess 24, and serves as a guide for inserting the pin 4 when the pin 4 is inserted.

Further, as clearly shown in FIG. 2, a thin-walled portion 27 is formed around the plug portion 21 and has a wall thickness that is set to a rupturable thickness smaller than that of the other lid 2. Has been formed. In the figure, 26 is a vertical groove provided on the lid body 2 for locking the pin 4, and 25 shown in FIG. 4 is a stepped part for locking the head 41 of the pin 4.

Next, in the case of the present embodiment, the heat-generating cylinder 3 is composed of a metal tube 31 having a bottom with a metal having a high thermal conductivity, such as aluminum, and a heat-generating substance 32 such as quicklime is placed in the lower stage. A reaction liquid container 33, which is housed and in which a reaction liquid 34 such as water is sealed, is placed, and a void is left at the top. The reaction solution container 33 is formed of a cylindrical body and seals the reaction solution with coating sheets 35 and 36 that close the upper and lower openings. A plastic film or the like can be used for the covering sheets 35 and 36, but an aluminum foil, which does not easily expand when punched with the pin 4, is preferable.

The lower end of the heating cylinder 3 is fitted into the fixing recess 12 of the container body 1 and fixed by an adhesive or the like. Further, the plug portion 21 of the lid body 2 is fitted into the space left above the reaction liquid container 33 housed in the heat-generating tubular body 3, and the outer circumference of the plug portion 21 is the same as the metal pipe. It is fitted and fixed to the inner peripheral surface of 31, or fixed by an adhesive or the like.

At this time, it is preferable that the plug portion 21 has an inverted truncated cone shape so that the plug portion 21 can be easily fitted. As a result, the upper and lower ends of the heating cylinder 3 are fixed by the container body 1 and the lid body 2 and are held in the center of the hollow portion 11 of the container body 1, and the hollow portion 11 stores a towel towel. An annular gap is formed.

Next, in the case of the present embodiment, the pin 4 has a sharp tip, and the main body portion is formed into a substantially Y-shaped cross section having three recessed grooves at equal intervals to partially close the recessed groove. The pin shown in Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 63-54664, which has an intermediate portion and a wide head (grip) at the upper end, is used. In this invention, the pin 4 is essentially the lid 2 described above. It suffices that the length is set so as to penetrate the stopper portion 21 from the upper portion and to make holes in the upper and lower coating sheets 35 and 36 of the reaction solution container 33, and it is preferable that the small diameter hole can be punched. When the pin 4 is not used, the head portion 41 is locked to the stepped portion 25 of the lid body 2, and the main body portion is provided with the vertical groove 26 of the lid body 2 and the vertical groove 16 of the container body 1 which is continuous with this when the container is assembled. It can be inserted and stored.

Next, the cloth 5 for hand towels is made of cotton, blended fabric, non-woven fabric, or the like, and along the outer periphery of the heat-generating tubular body 3, as shown by dotted lines in FIGS. It has a size (100 mm × 105 mm in the example shown) that can be wrapped so that it will not be wound, and is vacuum packed in a bag (not shown) made of a heat-resistant plastic sheet in the expanded state. At this time, it is preferable that the hand towel cloth 5 be uniformly impregnated with a small amount of water, because it will be steamed at the time of heating. Then, as shown in FIG. 5, both ends of the cloth 5 for hand towels are housed so as to be positioned in a largely open portion of the hollow portion 11.

A method of using the portable hand towel warmer thus configured will be described below. The pin 4 is removed from the step portion 25 and the vertical grooves 26, 16 and inserted along the guide portion at the center of the recess 24 of the lid 2. As a result, the sharp portion at the tip of the pin 4 first penetrates the plug portion 21 and perforates the upper and lower covering sheets 35 and 36 of the reaction solution container 3 to project into the exothermic substance 32. Further, when the insertion is completed, the head 41 of the pin 4 is fitted into the recess 24 at least in the circumferential direction without a gap and is locked to the plug.

As a result, the reaction liquid 34 flows out to the exothermic substance 32 from the hole of the lower cover sheet 36, and an exothermic reaction occurs. Therefore, although water vapor overflows into the heating cylinder 3, the hole communicating with the outside is closed by the plug portion 21 and the pin 4, and the covering sheet 5 of the reaction solution container 2 is also made of aluminum foil, so that the hole is not formed. Expansion can be suppressed, water vapor can be prevented from leaking, and a predetermined high temperature (for example, 100 ° C. in 2 to 3 minutes) can be achieved in a short time. Along with this, the towel cloth 5 that is in surface contact with the heating cylinder 3 is also heated to a high temperature in a short time.

Then, after the predetermined heating time (for example, 3 minutes to 5 minutes) has elapsed, if the lid body 2 is strongly pushed forward, the side wall portion of the lid body 2 along the inclined surface 14 of the container body 1. Since the bottom surface of 22 slides and the load concentrates on the thin portion 27 around the plug portion 21 and is damaged, as shown in FIG. 3, the lid body 2 can be separated leaving the plug portion 21. From the hollow portion 11 of the opened container body 1, the end portion of the vacuum pack can be grasped and pulled out, and the pack can be broken to use the towel 5 for use. At this time, since the plug portion 21 of the lid body 2 is still fixed to the heat-generating cylinder body 3, there is no risk that water vapor will leak to the outside until the end.

In the above embodiment, the lid 2 and the plug portion 21 were separated from each other by using sliding with the plane of the container body. This sliding plane may be inclined in the extrusion direction, or It may be horizontal. Alternatively, if the plug portion 21 is firmly fixed to the heat-generating cylinder 3, the lid 2 may be pulled upward to separate from the plug portion 21.
