Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a container and a package for accommodating a wet tissue inside and pulling out the wet tissue one by one, and having excellent sealing property and removability of the tissue, and after use. The present invention relates to a disposable type wet tissue container and a wet tissue package which are easy to dispose of and are inexpensive.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art So-called wet tissues, which are obtained by impregnating a fibrous sheet with an impregnating agent such as chemicals and cosmetics, have been used for the purpose of removing dirt from hands, disinfecting and wiping baby's buttocks. . The wet tissue is supplied in the form of a wet tissue package which is housed in a container whose inside is hermetically sealed so that the impregnating agent does not volatilize and dry, and which can be pulled out one by one from the container.

As this wet tissue package,
Initially, a wet tissue roll wound into a roll was housed in a tubular plastic container, and a lid having a wet tissue take-out port was fitted on the upper part of the tubular container. This wet tissue package is
The wet tissue roll is perforated at a predetermined length, the outlet of the container is formed small, and a certain amount of force is applied to pulling out the wet tissue. Then, when the wet tissues are pulled out from the take-out port, a force is applied to the wet tissues when passing through the take-out port, the wet tissues are broken from the perforations, and the wet tissues can be pulled out one by one. The roll-type wet tissue container is a so-called disposable type that is discarded when the wet tissue inside is lost.

However, the roll-type wet tissue package described above requires a certain amount of force when pulling out the wet tissue, and further needs to spread the pulled wet tissue with both hands. Therefore,
In recent years, a sheet-type wet tissue package has been used in which a sheet-type wet tissue that has been previously separated into individual sheets is used, and a plurality of folded sheets are stacked and packaged.

The above-mentioned sheet-type wet tissue package is generally supplied as a package sealed inside a bag made of a plastic sheet. When a wet tissue is used, the package is opened and put in a refill container made of a box-shaped hard plastic molding for use. The above-mentioned refill container is generally composed of a box-shaped container body having an open top surface and a lid fitted into the opening on the top surface of the container body. The lid is formed so as to be hermetically sealed so as to be removable from the container body. Further, the lid is provided with a notch for pulling out the wet tissues one by one, and a small lid covering the notch allows the take-out port to be opened. It is formed so that it can be opened and closed.

[0006] A sheet type wet tissue placed in a container for refilling can be spread by itself by pulling out the wet tissue with one hand.
Furthermore, since each wet tissue is separated in advance, it is possible to easily pull out without requiring a large force when pulling out. Therefore, the sheet-type wet tissue has a feature that it is easier to handle when pulling out the wet tissue as compared with the roll type.

[0007]

By the way, the wet tissue container is required to have an internal sealing property in order to prevent the impregnating agent from volatilizing. Therefore, conventionally, plastic molded articles have been used for both the roll-type and sheet-type wet tissue containers. However, the plastic molded container is bulky when it is discarded and cannot be incinerated, so that there is a major drawback in the disposal of the container after use. In particular, the conventional roll-type wet tissue container is a disposable container, and thus the inconvenience of disposal is a serious problem.

On the other hand, in the case of the sheet type wet tissue, the wet tissue container is not disposable and is used by refilling the wet tissue. Therefore, it is only necessary to discard the film that has wrapped the wet tissue for refilling. Compared with a roll type wet tissue container, the volume of dust is not so large. However, the refill type has the following various problems.

When using a container for refilling, it is necessary to refill the container of the wet tissue package, which is troublesome. In addition, since the refill container is required to have some strength and durability, the container itself is made of thick plastic, and the container is formed so that the lid can be removed for refilling. Therefore, the cost of the container increases.

In the case of the refill type, if the container of the plastic molded product is used for a long period of time, the inside of the container may become dirty and various bacteria may propagate, so it is necessary to keep the inside clean. There was a problem that there is. Furthermore, even if it is called a refill container, if it becomes unnecessary or broken, it will eventually be discarded.In that case, reduce the volume like a roll type wet tissue container. It is not possible to do so and the disposal process is troublesome.

Although the sheet-type wet tissue has a feature that it can be pulled out easily, it has various drawbacks due to the high cost of the container and the fact that it is a refillable type, and it is strongly desired to solve these drawbacks. It is rare. The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned drawbacks of the prior art, is excellent in sealing property and removability of wet tissues, can be supplied at low cost, and is used as a disposable type that can be easily discarded after use. It is an object of the present invention to provide a wet tissue container and a wet tissue package that can be formed.

[0013]

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION Embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the drawings. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, a wet tissue container 1 according to the present invention is capable of accommodating a wet tissue 2 therein, and has a container body 3 formed in a box shape from paper having a barrier property, and the container body 3 Is provided on the upper surface of the container for taking out the wet tissue 2 inside, and a lid 7 for opening and closing the taking out port 4, and the lid 7 can seal the inside of the container. It is formed so that opening and closing of the mouth 4 can be repeated. Further, the wet tissue package of the present invention is one in which the wet tissue 2 is housed inside the container body 3.

The wet tissue 2 contained in the wet tissue container 1 is made of synthetic or natural fiber such as paper, woven cloth, non-woven cloth, cotton, gauze, foamed sheet, etc., purified water, disinfecting alcohol, Those impregnated or coated with other chemicals or impregnating agents such as cosmetics are used. The wet tissue 2 may be a perforated roll tissue, but a wet tissue laminated body obtained by folding a rectangular sheet-like one and stacking them in multiple layers is preferable. 1 piece of wet tissue is folded in 3 to make 1 folded body. When stacking the folds, the folds are stacked so that the ends of the folds hook into the ends of another fold.

By storing the folded wet tissue inside the container body, as compared with the case of using the roll type wet tissue, the folded wet tissue can be pulled out by one hand only. The wet tissue spreads immediately into a sheet, eliminating the need for both hands to spread it. Further, the wet tissue can be taken out by a pop-up method as compared with the case where the sheet tissues are simply stacked. Here, the pop-up method means a structure in which, when the first wet tissue is completely taken out, the upper end of the second wet tissue pops out above the take-out port and stops at the popped-out position. According to this pop-up method, since the upper end of the wet tissue is always protruding above the take-out port, the wet tissue can be easily grasped, and therefore the wet tissue can be taken out easily.

In the container of the present invention, the shape and size of the container body are not particularly limited as long as a wet tissue can be stored therein. Usually, the container body 3 is formed as a rectangular parallelepiped box body. In order to provide the container body 3 with the take-out port 4 in the container of the present invention, (a) as shown in FIG. 2, an opening 3a is provided on the upper surface of the container body, and a separate take-out member 5 having the take-out port 4 formed in advance. (B) As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, a mounting hole 23 is provided in the substrate 6 of the take-out member, and is separated from the take-out member as shown in FIGS. 6 and 7. 8C, the component 16 is fitted into the mounting hole 23 of the substrate as shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, and the component is removably attached to the substrate, (c) shown in FIGS. 14 and 16. As described above, such means is used that the upper surface of the container body 3 is cut into an appropriate shape of the outlet 4, and the outlet 4 is directly formed on the container body 3 itself.

In the container of the present invention, the lid 7 has the outlet 4
To make it possible to repeatedly open and close the
A fitting structure in which the lid 4 is fitted around the take-out port and the take-out port 4 is sealed is used. This lid fitting structure is a snap-fitting method in which the lid fits around the outlet from above the outlet, or the lid surrounds the outlet horizontally in the horizontal direction with respect to the outlet. Any of the slide fitting methods may be used for fitting to. Further, the lid of the container of the present invention is formed so as to be completely separated from the container body when the lid is opened,
Further, either may be joined to the container body or the take-out member so that the end portion of the lid does not come off from the container body side.
Further, when the take-out port is provided in the take-out member which is separate from the container body, the lid is formed integrally with the substrate of the take-out member, or the lid is formed separately from the substrate and the lid is taken as the substrate. Alternatively, it may be joined to the container body.

In the container of the present invention, for example, a paper having a barrier property is directly provided with a take-out port, or a paper having a barrier property is provided with an opening portion so that the take-out member faces the opening and is joined to the take-out member to make a predetermined take-out port. After forming it in the position, store the wet tissue 2 and fold it into a predetermined box shape,
It can be obtained by joining the portions where the papers overlap each other using heat sealing or an adhesive. The paper having a barrier property used for the container body 3 is not particularly limited as long as it has a barrier property against a chemical contained in a wet tissue and an impregnating agent such as water and can maintain the shape of the container body. Paperboard,
Various types of paper such as processed paper and Japanese paper can be used. The thickness of the above-mentioned paper having a barrier property is not particularly limited, but is preferably such a thickness that it can be folded at the time of disposal after use or can be torn by hand. Further, various designs can be applied to the surface of the paper by printing or the like.

Examples of the paperboard include cardboard raw paper, white paperboard, yellow paperboard, colored paperboard, building paper, and other paperboards. As the above-mentioned processed paper, pigment coated paper such as art paper, coated paper, lightweight coated paper, baryta paper, cast coated paper, glossy paper, paraffin paper, tarpaulin paper, polyethylene processed paper, vinylidene chloride paper, anti-proof paper Examples include rust paper, oil paper, pillow pack, crystal paper, sulfuric acid paper, processed paper for packaging such as vulcanized fiber, and the like.

As for the paper constituting the container body 3, if the paper itself is not provided with a barrier, it is used after being subjected to a treatment for imparting a barrier property. The treatment means for imparting the above-mentioned barrier property is, for example, forming a barrier layer by laminating a film having a barrier property on one side or both sides of paper,
Examples include means for applying a coating composition such as a resin having a barrier property to one or both sides of paper to form a barrier layer, and impregnating a paper with a resin having a barrier property. . For laminating the above film and paper, known laminating means such as heat sealing and adhesion with an adhesive can be used. Further, known means can be used for coating and impregnating the resin. In the container of the present invention, at least the inner surface side of the container body 3 which is in direct contact with the wet tissue 2 has a barrier property, and when the above-mentioned laminated body of the barrier layer and paper is used for the container body, the barrier layer is formed. Is placed inside the container and the paper is placed on the outer surface.

The film having the above-mentioned barrier property is, for example, a single plastic film of polyethylene, polypropylene, polyester, polyamide, vinyl chloride, vinylidene chloride, cellophane, acetate or the like, or a laminate of these, or an aluminum foil with these. And a laminated body and the like. As the resin having a barrier property, the above-mentioned resin for films, other than that, various pigments used in pigment paper, oil paper such as paraffin, crystal paper, tarpaulin paper, sulfuric acid paper, vulcanized fiber, etc. Materials and the like used for various types of processed papers for packaging can be used.

It is preferable that the paper constituting the container body 3 or the film or resin having a barrier property laminated on the paper has a heat-sealing property. When assembling a box from the above-mentioned paper having barrier properties to manufacture the container body 3,
If the paper has a heat-sealing property, it can be joined only by heating the sealed portion, so that the container body can be easily manufactured. When a barrier film is laminated on the paper, it is preferable that the barrier film is laminated so that it can be easily peeled off by hand. Specifically, means such as spot-bonding the film to the paper or weakly bonding the film is used. In the case of stacking in this way, the waste tissue container after use is discarded, and the paper and the barrier film are separated, for example, the film is treated as noncombustible waste and the paper is treated as combustible waste. There is an advantage that it can be discarded.

In the container of the present invention, the take-out port 4 may have any shape as long as it can take out the wet tissue 2 housed inside the container body. For example, the outlet can be formed as a simple circular, elliptical, rectangular, or other opening. When the outlet 4 is formed as an opening on the upper surface of the container body 3,
The larger the take-out port, the easier it is to take out the wet tissue, but if the opening area is larger than necessary, the container's sealing performance will deteriorate. Therefore, form a moderate size to satisfy both the taking-out property and the sealing property. Is preferred. As for this specific size, for example, when the opening is circular,
It suffices if the size is such that the internal wet tissue can be picked up with a finger from the opening, and the diameter is preferably 20 mm to 4 mm.
The size is about 0 mm. Further, the take-out port 4 may be formed as a notch having any shape such as a straight line, a cross, and an H shape. The take-out port 4 is preferably formed in a shape and structure that allows the wet tissue to be taken out by, for example, the pop-up method shown in FIG.

The pop-up type outlet 4 shown in FIG. 3 includes a central passage 4a, an end passage 4b, and the passages 4 thereof.
The narrow passages 4c are narrower than the widths a and 4b. The respective passages 4a, 4b, 4c communicate with each other to form one outlet. Since the narrow passage 4c is a passage having a narrow width, it has a function of giving an appropriate resistance to the force of pulling up the wet tissue, which allows popping up when the wet tissue is taken out. Figure 3 shows the shape and structure of the pop-up outlet.
The present invention is not limited to the one shown in FIG. For example, the end passage 4b may be formed to have a passage width equivalent to that of the narrow passage 4c. In this case, the central passage 4a is preferably constructed slightly larger than that shown. In short, in order to make a pop-up opening capable of popping up, a shape and a structure that can give an appropriate resistance to the force for pulling up the wet tissue can be used, and various changes can be made.

The take-out port 4 shown in FIG. 3 is provided in the take-out member 5 which is separate from the container body. The take-out member 5 is configured by integrally forming a substrate 6, a take-out port 4 of the wet tissue provided on the substrate 6, and a lid body 7 that can cover and take out the take-out port 4. In the take-out member 5, a fitting receiving portion 9 is provided around the take-out opening 4 of the substrate 6 in order to seal the take-out opening 4 with the lid 7, and the fitting receiving portion 9 can be fitted to each other. The fitting portion 11 is provided on the lid 7. Both the fitting receiving portion 9 and the fitting portion 11 have projecting peripheral walls. The fitted state is obtained by the other peripheral wall entering inside the one peripheral wall. As shown in FIG. 2, the present embodiment has a mode in which the peripheral wall provided on the substrate 6 is inserted into the inside of the peripheral wall provided on the lid body 7, but the present invention is not limited to this and is not limited to this. The structure may be such that the peripheral wall provided on the lid body is inserted inside the peripheral wall provided on the substrate. Further, in order to improve the airtightness between the fitting portion of the lid body 7 and the fitting receiving portion of the take-out member, for example, a protrusion is provided on the inner peripheral surface of the fitting portion 11 provided on the lid body 7, It is possible to provide a concave groove that fits with the projection on the outer peripheral surface of the fitting receiving portion 9 so that the projection and the concave groove fit with each other. The protrusion may be provided on the fitting receiving portion 9 on the container body side, and the concave groove may be provided on the fitting portion 11 on the lid side.

According to the above construction, when the lid 7 is closed,
The fitting portion 11 and the fitting receiving portion 9 are fitted to each other, whereby the lid 7
Is kept closed. In order to seal the outlet 4, the fitting state of the fitting portion 11 and the fitting receiving portion 9 may be made tight. The fitting portion 11 and the fitting receiving portion 9 may have a ring shape or a rectangular shape, but in order to make the fitted state of both fittings dense, it is preferable to form them into a ring shape as shown in FIG.

The means for sealing the take-out port 4 with the lid 7 is not limited to the above-mentioned fitting structure, and may be, for example, a structure in which the lid 7 is engaged with the take-out port 4. in this way,
The lid 7 is held in a closed state by a physical action such as fitting and engagement. The lid 7 is attached to the substrate 6 via the hinge 10.
It is provided integrally with and is swingable in the rotation direction about the hinge 10 as a central axis. Further, the upper surface of the peripheral portion 6a of the substrate 6 is a flat surface because it serves as a joint portion that is joined to the peripheral portion of the opening 3a of the container body 3. The flat portion 6b of the substrate 6 is formed at a position lower than the peripheral portion 6a, and a step is formed between the flat portion 6b and the peripheral portion 6a.

In the state where the lid 7 closes the outlet 4, a space 30 is formed between the outlet 4 and the lid 7, as shown in FIG. The space portion 30 has a space that can substantially store the upward protruding portion of the wet tissue. Further, when the lid body 7 is closed, the lid body 7 does not cover the entire surface of the flat portion 6b, so that a void portion 14 is formed near the tip portion of the lid body 7 as shown in FIG. The void portion 14 has a size that allows a finger to enter,
Therefore, when the lid 7 is opened, a finger can be inserted into the void portion 14 to grasp the lid 7, and the lid can be easily opened.

When the take-out port 4 is provided in the take-out member 5, the take-out port is not provided directly on the substrate 6 of the member 5, but the take-out port is provided in a component formed separately from the substrate 6, and the component is attached to the substrate. You may. An example of a component formed with such an outlet is shown in FIGS. 6 and 7. As shown in these drawings, the take-out port forming component 16 has a circular outer shape, has a flat surface portion 16a and a flange portion 16b, and the flat surface portion 16a is provided at a position lower than the flange portion 16b. A step is formed between them. The flat surface portion 16a is provided with the outlet 4, the flange portions 16b are provided with recessed portions 17a and 17b at two opposite positions, and a knob piece 18 is provided in the vicinity of the recessed portion 17a. Further, a continuous protrusion 19 is provided on the back surface of the flange 16b, and a groove 21 is formed between the outer peripheral wall 20 of the flat portion 16a and the protrusion 19.

The take-out port forming component 16 thus constructed is incorporated in the main body 22 of the take-out member as shown in FIG. The substrate 6 of the main body 22 is provided with a mounting hole 23 for mounting the member 16, and a projecting wall 24 is formed on the periphery of the mounting hole 23. As shown in FIG. 5, the fitting receiving portion 9 is concentrically formed around the protruding wall 24.

In assembling the component 16 into the main body 22, the positions of the recessed portions 17a and 17b of the component 16 are matched with the positions of the projecting pieces 25a and 25b of the fitting receiving portion 9, respectively, and then the component 16 is removed. The member 16 is pushed in so that the outer peripheral wall 20 fits into the mounting hole 23 of the substrate 6. At this time, the outer peripheral wall 20 is tightly fitted in the mounting hole 23, and the projecting wall 24 of the board 6 enters the groove 21 of the component 16, so that the ridge 19 of the component 16 and the projecting wall 24 of the board 6 mutually. Mating. Next, when the component 16 is rotated to an appropriate angle, as shown in FIG. 8, the projecting pieces 25a and 25b and the recessed portion 17 are formed.
Since the positions corresponding to a and 17b are displaced, the component 16 is locked by the projecting pieces 25a and 25b, and the component 16 is no longer separated from the substrate 6 even if the component 16 is pulled upward. In this way, the component 16 is incorporated into the main body 22 as shown in FIG. In addition, the knob piece 18,
The positions where the recessed portions 17a and 17b and the projecting pieces 25a and 25b are provided are not limited to those forming positions shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, and they may be provided at other positions. The size of the mounting hole 23 formed in the main body 22 of the take-out member may be formed according to the size of the component 16, but it is preferable that the size is such that the internal wet tissue can be picked up with fingers. Specifically, in the case of a circular shape, the diameter is preferably 20 mm or more, more preferably 30 mm or more.

When one wet tissue is taken out, the upper end of the second wet tissue does not project above the take-out port 4, which may make it difficult to take out the second wet tissue. Happens as. In such a case, the effect of providing the component 16 is exerted. That is, the component 16 is rotated to move the recessed portions 17a and 17b into the protruding pieces 25a and 2b, respectively.
The component 16 is easily separated from the substrate 6 by aligning it with the position of 5b and then pulling it upward with the knob piece 18.

If the mounting hole 23 is formed as a hole large enough to insert the finger, the finger is inserted into the mounting hole 23 to grasp the end of the wet tissue, and the member 4 is taken out. Insert the end of the wet tissue into and pull out from the outlet 4 by an appropriate length,
In this state, the member 16 is returned to its original position and fixed. In this way, the wet tissue can be taken out again. The body 22 of the take-out member shown in FIG.
Can be formed integrally with the main body by injection molding with the lid 7 open.

The body 22 and the component 16 of the above-mentioned take-out member
The take-out member 5 and the lid 7 made of, for example, are made of hard or semi-hard plastic, for example. Specifically, it is a thermoplastic resin such as polypropylene or polyethylene.
The take-out member 5 and the lid 7 are not limited to plastic injection-molded products, and can be formed by another molding method or another material. For example, the take-out member and the lid may be separately formed by vacuum forming, and the lid may be joined to the take-out member. FIG. 10 shows the container of the present invention in which a component formed by joining a lid body manufactured by vacuum forming to a take-out member is attached to the container body.

As shown in FIG. 11, the lid 7 is formed separately from the substrate 6, and the hinge 10 provided at the end of the lid 7 is joined to the substrate 6 of the main body to form the lid 7. The hinge 10 has a surface connected to the back surface side of the lid body joined to the upper surface of the substrate 6 of the takeout member. As shown in FIG. 10, the opening of the container body 3 is formed so that the hinge 10 of the lid is exposed to the outside, and the take-out member 5 is a fitting receiving portion formed around the take-out port 4 in a concave shape. 9 is provided, a protrusion-shaped fitting portion 11 that fits into the fitting receiving portion 9 is provided in the lid body 7, and the fitting portion 11 of the lid body fits into the fitting receiving portion 9 of the substrate 6. Is formed. The lid body and the take-out member can be easily manufactured by vacuum forming a plastic sheet if the lid body and the take-out member have a shape only provided with a concave portion or a convex portion as shown in FIG.

Further, the take-out member 5 and the lid 7 may be formed of paper having a barrier property similar to the material of the container body 3. In this case, it is desirable that the paper is located on the outer surfaces of the container body, the take-out member and the lid. For example, as shown in FIG. 12, a laminated body formed by laminating a plastic film 52 having a barrier property on a paper 51 is used, and similarly, a lid 7 is also a laminated body formed by laminating a film 72 having a barrier property on a paper 71. Is used to join the take-out member 5 to the container body 3 in which the barrier film 32 is laminated on the paper 31. The papers 31 and 51 of the container body 3 and the take-out member 5 are located on the outer surface side, and the lid 7 The paper 71 can be formed so as to be the outer surface. Since the outside of such a container is entirely covered with paper, the external appearance looks like paper, and is a paper-like product.

When the take-out member 5 made of the above-mentioned laminated body of paper and plastic film is joined to the container main body 3 made of the same laminated body, the paper and the plastic film are brought into contact with each other and bonded to each other with an adhesive. However, it is preferable to heat-seal so that the joint portions of the both are in contact with each other at the plastic film, which is easy to manufacture and is preferable. In the case of forming in this way, as shown in FIG. 12, if the film 52 of the take-out member 5 is formed so that the end portion that is the joining portion projects, and the film 52 of the take-out member is joined to the film 32 of the container body Good. A material with heat sealability is used as the plastic film of the take-out member.

Further, as shown in FIG. 13, when the container body 3 is a laminate in which the heat-sealable barrier plastic films 32 and 32 are laminated on both sides of the paper 31, the take-out member 5 is used. Is a barrier film 52 having heat sealability on the lower surface side of the paper 51.
If it is composed of a laminated body formed by laminating, the take-out member 5 can be joined to the container body 3 from the upper surface side of the container body 3 and easily integrated by heat sealing.

In the container of the present invention, as shown in FIG. 14, a notch having a predetermined shape is formed in the upper surface of the container body 3 to form the outlet 4 directly on the container body 3 itself, and the lid 7 is connected to the container body 3. Is formed by a separate member, and when the lid is opened, the lid 7
May be formed so as to be completely separated from the container body 3. The container body 3 shown in FIGS. 14 and 15 has a recess 12 around the outlet 4 on the upper surface of the container body.

And the lid 7 is provided with a ridge 29 that fits into the groove 28. When closing the lid 7, the ridges 29 of the lid 7 are taken out and the concave groove 28 around the take-out opening is formed.
The take-out port 4 is sealed by fitting it to. When the outlet 4 is directly provided on the container body 3, the recess 12
If the depth of the groove is made relatively shallow, the concave portion can be easily manufactured by a method such as embossing.

When the lid 7 is fitted into the container body 3, a constant space 30 is formed between the lid and the outlet 4. The container shown in FIG. 14 has a shallow concave portion as compared with the container shown in FIG. The space 30 may be of a size that can substantially store the upper protruding portion of the wet tissue when the lid is closed, and the size can be completely stored without deforming the upper protruding portion. It does not have to have a size, and may be a space that can accommodate the deformed upper protruding portion. Further, in the container shown in FIG. 14, since the lid 7 and the outlet 4 of the container body 3 are reinforced by the ridges 29 and 26, sufficient strength is obtained even if the periphery of the outlet is made of paper. Therefore, the take-out property of the wet tissue is stable, and the sealing property inside the container can be maintained well for a long time.

The container shown in FIG. 14 is formed so that the ridge of the lid body fits into the concave groove around the outlet.
As shown in FIG. 6, the ridge 29 provided on the lid 7 is fitted to the peripheral wall of the recess 12 around the outlet of the container body.
You may form the fitting part of a lid. In the container shown in FIGS. 14 and 15, both the lid and the container body are made of paper having a barrier property, and the lid is configured to be completely separated from the container body when the lid is opened. As shown in FIG. 16, a lid 7 made of paper having a barrier property may be joined to the container body 3 so that the lid 7 is not separated from the container body 3 when the lid is opened.
