Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a container for wet tissue paper. The container of the present invention accommodates refillable wet tissue paper, and easily supplies hygienic wet tissue paper in daily life such as home, hospital, school, nursery, and office.

[0002]

[Prior Art and Problems]

 Wet-type tissue paper (hereinafter referred to as "wet tissue") is convenient for stains on limbs, breastfeeding infants, around mouth after meals, and after stool defecation, and is commonly used at home. . It is also often used in hospitals and at home for nursing the sick. Wet tissues are extremely convenient because they can easily and quickly wipe off stains on the body, etc., and reliably remove stains. Therefore, it is used as a stationary type in homes and hospitals, and is also marketed in various forms for portable use. In addition, it is also used as a cleaning paper around the kitchen and water after being impregnated with detergent.

Conventionally, as a stationary wet tissue, a container provided with a lid for opening the refilled wet tissue, which is hermetically packaged, is completely removed by breaking the bag, and is formed of plastic or the like. It is marketed in the form of filling.

In Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 60-37329, it is essential to have a film-like lid that can be repeatedly opened and closed by applying an adhesive on the back side, and a wet tissue-enclosing bag that is entirely disposable. Suggestions for improvement have been made. In the enclosed bag described here, the tray is inserted inside, and the wet tissue is taken out through the opening provided in this tray to avoid contact between the wet tissue and the adhesive part of the lid, thus improving the hermeticity of the lid. To do. Further, in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 1-226579, the side surface of this tray is extended to maintain the shape of an enclosing bag so that the wet tissue can be easily taken out even if the internal volume decreases. Further, in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 1-267182 and US Pat. No. 4,863,064, a recess is provided in a portion for passing a wet tissue provided in the same tray as described above, and the wet tissue held in the tray is adhered to the lid. It describes a package that secures a space so that it is held inside the sealed bag without contacting the agent. Further, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 1-167084 discloses that a sealed bag for a wet tissue is housed in a hard box body, and the outlet of the bag is fixed to the outlet of the box to facilitate the taking out of the contents and It ensures a tight seal.

However, the wet-tissue enclosing bag that repeatedly opens and closes the lid using such an adhesive, even if it is continuously used, nevertheless retains the sealing property of the lid. Rapidly decreases, the liquid components inside volatilize, and contamination easily occurs, and it is still difficult to keep the shape of the bag at the end of use, which is not preferable because it is inconvenient to take out.

In addition, a product is also commercially available in which a wet tissue connected by perforations is rolled into a cylindrical shape and housed in a closed container, and can be pulled out one by one from a thin take-out hole made of rubber provided on the upper part of the container. There is. This type of wet tissue has a good container tightness, but it requires both hands to be taken out, and the wet tissue is taken out in the form of a thin string. For this reason, when wiping the baby's hips or caring for a sick person, the wet tissue taken out of the container must first be spread with both hands and then used. It is troublesome and unhygienic.

Further, Japanese Patent Publication No. 59-20552 describes a supply container in which a roll-shaped or folded wet tissue is taken out through a baffle plate that moves up and down in the container. However, even in such a device, refilling the contents is troublesome, and the wet tissue is easily contaminated by the replacement.

Most wet tissues are used for breast feeding of infants, cleaning around the mouth after meals, cleaning up defecation, and often used for nursing a sick person in a hospital or at home. When we need wet tissues like this, we are taking care of infants and sick people, and we can quickly remove the required amount of wet tissues with one hand, and without changing them. It is highly desirable to be able to take it out in a usable form. However, a wet tissue supply container that has been sufficiently satisfactory to meet such requirements has not been proposed so far.

The purpose of the present invention is to refill the tissues easily and hygienically, the wet tissues are not dried even if they are used continuously, and the wet tissues are spread convenient to use one by one. The object is to provide a container for wet tissues that can be taken out as quickly as necessary with one hand.

[0010]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 The present invention provides a storage part having a capacity for storing a wet tissue, a lid part that is opened / closed when refilling the storage part, an openable / closable opening part for taking out the wet tissues one by one to the outside of the container, and the storage part. (EN) A wet tissue container having a resistance partition wall provided between the opening and an opening which serves as a resistance for taking out the wet tissue and capable of maintaining its own shape.

[0011]

[Action]

 The wet tissue container of the present invention accommodates the wet tissue with the outlet opened. Alternatively, the wet tissue may be taken out from the packaging bag and stored in the container. The wet tissue can be sequentially taken out one by one in a state where it spreads out from the opening of the closed container, if necessary.

[0012]

【Example】

 Next, the present invention will be described more specifically based on examples.

FIG. 1 is an explanatory view showing a case where the container of the present invention and a wet tissue contained in a packaging bag are used in combination. FIG. 1 (a) is a lid part of a container of the present invention, (b) is a packaging wet tissue, and (c) is an explanatory view of a container body. The container 1 for sealing the inside and a liquid such as lotion are impregnated. The packaging wet tissue 2 enclosed in the packaging bag is shown.

(I) Container In FIG. 1, a container 1 which is one specific example of the present invention has a substantially rectangular parallelepiped shape as a whole and is made of a material capable of holding its own shape by the container itself. As such a material, it is preferable to use a molding material such as a synthetic resin such as polyethylene or polypropylene which is relatively hard and has some flexibility. As the material used for the container of the kit of the present invention, in addition to the above synthetic resin, a metal plate or a paper container may be used. Any container may be used as long as it can retain its own shape, and a flexible sheet or other material may be used to reinforce the container from the inside and the outside so that the shape can be retained.

The container 1 is composed of a container body 30 and a lid portion 10 which can be tightly attached to the container body 30, and the container body 30 has a receiving portion 31 provided with a step for covering the lid portion 10 on an upper end portion thereof. At the same time, there is an accommodation portion 33 in which the packaging wet tissue 2 can be accommodated.

The lid portion 10 has a rectangular opening 11 for taking out the wet tissue at substantially the center thereof. The opening / closing lid 12 rotatable at one end is attached to this opening. The opening / closing lid 12 is tightly provided so that liquid or gas does not easily leak from the opening 11.

A resistance partition wall 14 having an outlet 17 having a U-shaped projection 13 is provided at a position corresponding to the opening 11 inside the lid 10, and the wet tissue to be taken out next. Is held. A space 15 is formed between the resistance partition 14 and the opening 11 on the upper surface of the lid 10, and the tip of the wet tissue held by the resistance partition 14 is retained. The resistance partition wall is provided so as to resist removal of the wet tissue. In this specific example, the resistance based on the elasticity of the U-shaped protrusion 13 causes the next wet tissue to overlap with one wet tissue. The tissue is retained.

The container of the present invention as described above is wholly formed of a paper container, and on the other hand, the periphery of the opening including the opening / closing lid and the resistance partition wall are formed of plastic and joined by an appropriate means such as hot melt. May be.

(Ii) Packaging Wet Tissue The wet tissue 21 filled in the packaging wet tissue 2 is a non-woven fabric made of pulp, cotton, synthetic fibers, etc., paper made of natural pulp, synthetic pulp, etc., or cloth such as gauze. A conventionally known wet tissue comprising a sheet-like material having a wet strength and containing a liquid component or solution such as water, alcohol, perfume, lotion, medicine, and surfactant is preferably used.

The wet tissue enclosed in the packaging bag 22 is folded with the leaves overlapping each other, and one sheet of tissue paper is taken out from the opening 11 of the container 1 through the resistance partition wall. Is held by the resistance partition wall and is ready for the next use. In order to continuously take out the wet tissue as described above, unlike the dry type tissue paper, the overlap between the first and second sheets is 1/2 or less, preferably 1/4 or less, and more preferably 1 or less of the area of the tissue. / 6. As a specific example of preferable folding, there is a folding method as shown in FIG.

However, the frictional force between the overlapping leaves can be adjusted by various means to reduce the frictional force, and the overlapping area can be reduced to about 1/2 as in the case of the dry tissue. For example, instead of using paper that uses hydrophilic materials such as pulp, rayon, and cotton, use base paper that contains a large amount of hydrophobic materials such as polyethylene, polypropylene, polyester, and nylon. You may reduce the power. Further, the base paper may be subjected to creping, embossing, or the like to make unevenness, thereby reducing the contact area between the wet tissues. Further, the friction force can be reduced by setting the water content of the wet tissue low.

In another embodiment of the packaging wet tissue that can be refilled in the container of the present invention, each leaf of the wet tissue 21 enclosed in the packaging bag is perforated as shown in FIGS. 3 (a) and 3 (b). linked. In this wet tissue, when one sheet of tissue paper is taken out from the opening 11 of the container 1 through the resistance partition, the succeeding paper sheet is held by the resistance partition and is torn at the perforations 27 to prepare for the next use. In order to sequentially take out one continuous wet tissue by the perforations in this manner, the length of the cut portion 28 of the perforation 27 is made longer than the length of the jumper portion 29 as shown in FIG. 3B. Is preferred. The material used for wet tissues has a relatively high tensile strength, so the force required to cut off each leaf is adjusted. For example, the length of the collar portion 29 is set to 1/5 or less, preferably 1/20 or less, and more preferably 1/50 of the length of the cut portion 28.

The wet tissue packaging bag 22 is formed of a conventionally known flexible packaging material such as a plastic film or a laminated film so as not to allow the liquid impregnated in the wet tissue to pass therethrough and prevent invasion of various bacteria. Is preferred. The upper surface of the packaging bag 22 is provided with an outlet 24 in which a notch 23 is preliminarily cut by an appropriate method such as perforation or half cut so that it can be easily opened for use, and an adhesive (pressure-sensitive adhesive) 25 is provided on the back surface. A seal member 26 coated with is covered and tightly attached to cover the outlet 24.

When the seal member 26 is peeled off at the time of use, the film fragments in the portion of the take-out port 24 in which the closed loop is notched are removed while adhering to the seal member 26 to form the opening of the packaging bag. As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the packaging bag is housed in the container body 30 described above, covered with the lid 10, and then the first wet tissue 21 is passed through the outlet 17 of the resistance partition wall 14 for use. To serve.

Specific shapes of the resistive barrier include various shapes such as the shapes shown in FIG. 1 and FIGS. 7 (a) to 10 (d) in addition to the shape shown in FIG. It is preferable that the resistance projections have appropriate flexibility and rigidity depending on the selection of material thickness, shape, etc.

As shown in FIGS. 7 and 9, it is preferable that the maximum length (A) of the outlet is 15 to 99% of the width of the tissue paper passing through the resistive partition. If the maximum length is shorter than this, the tissue paper cannot be taken out smoothly. Further, if the length is longer than this, the tissue paper is not sufficiently held, which is also inconvenient in the design of the container, and there is a high possibility that foreign matter is mixed.

On the other hand, the minimum width (B) of the outlet is preferably 1 mm to 1 cm. If the minimum width is narrower than this, it is difficult to remove the tissue paper. If the minimum width is wider than this, it becomes difficult to hold the tissue paper.

Furthermore, it is preferable that the width of the expanded portion 18 near the center in the maximum length direction of the outlet of the resistance partition wall is the maximum width of the outlet 17 described above. In this way, by providing the expanded portion 18 near the center of the take-out port, the tissue paper gathered in the take-out port 17 (width A), which is narrower than the tissue paper, can escape, and an appropriate holding force can be obtained. The tissue paper can be taken out smoothly while having it.

FIG. 6 is a perspective view showing another specific example of the container of the present invention. In this specific example, the lid portion 10 is attached to the container body 30 so as to rotate and open and close. Further, the resistance partition 14 is provided on the inner lid 16, and the inner lid 16 is tightly attached to the inner lid receiving portion 32 provided inside the main body. Further, in the container of the present invention, the lid portion for refilling the packaging bag may be provided not at the front surface of the container as shown in FIGS. 1 and 6 but at the bottom portion and the side portion.

FIG. 8 is a perspective view showing another specific example of the outlet of the wet tissue packaging bag. In this example, an outlet having a notch 23 in a horizontally long “H” shape is provided. The outlet of this shape has a small opening area due to the cut pieces of the sheet, which prevents secondary contamination by bacteria in the air and volatilization of liquid components.
