Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To maintain appearance and hygiene of streets or the like since even chewing gum which is not of a type wrapped in a sheet can be wrapped for disposal in a disposal sheet taken out after chewing by attaching disposal sheets for wrapping chewed gum to an outer case including chewing gum. SOLUTION: An outer case 2 for grain-like chewing gum is a bottomed parallelopipe having an approximate rectangular cross section, and a pack 4 wrapping disposal sheets 3 laminated is enclosed on a side wall 2a which is wide and large in area. Therefore, when a shrinkable bag-like film is torn, the pack 4 is exposed. If the pack 4 is pasted to the outer case 2 by adhesive or the like, the pack 4 may not drop from the outer case 2 when the shrinkable film is removed, and also the disposal sheets 3 can be taken out by opening a cut 4a with the pack 4 attached to the outer case 2. In addition, since the pack 4 may not release until the chewing gum 1 has been chewed, possibility of using the disposal sheets 3 may be improved.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a method for packing chewing gum having waste paper for wrapping chewing gum that has been chewed.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventional chewing gums are made by adding fruit juice or flavor to a gum base to form granules or lumps, and coating the surfaces of the grains or lumps with a sugar and coloring them into a large number of plastic containers. Things are on the market. Then, it is explained that the affixed label or the like is wrapped in paper and discarded when discarded.

[0003]

However, such a granular or lump chewing gum contained in a plastic container does not have silver paper or envelope-shaped wrapping paper like plate chewing gum, and therefore chewing gum after chewing is required. Were often abandoned on the floors of buildings and road surfaces. For this reason, there are problems in aesthetics and hygiene of the street, such as adhesion to the floor or road surface, which is difficult to remove, or adhesion to footwear of passersby.

The present invention seeks to solve such problems by improving the method of packaging chewing gum.

[0005]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, in the chewing gum packaging according to claim 1 of the present invention, waste paper enclosing the chewing gum that has been chewed is attached to an outer case containing the chewing gum. Characterize.

The method for packaging chewing gum according to claim 2 of the present invention is a method for packaging chewing gum, in which a waste paper enclosing the chewing gum that has been chewed is wrapped around an outer case that stores the chewing gum, and the waste paper is in the form of a belt. And perforations are formed at predetermined intervals in the longitudinal direction, and an adhesive layer that adheres to the outer case is coated on the back surface.

[0007]

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION Next, a method for packing chewing gum according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

<Embodiment 1> FIG. 1 shows a method for packing chewing gum according to the present invention. As shown in FIG. 1, the side wall portion of the outer case 2 for accommodating the granular chewing gum 1 includes:
A pack 4 of waste paper 3 wrapping the chewing gum 1 that has been bitten is attached. The chewing gum 1 is a natural or artificial granular gum base containing fruit juice, flavor, etc., the surface of which is hardened with sugar or the like, which is put directly into the mouth and chewed, and is not wrapped with paper or the like. The outer case 2 of the chewing gum 1 is in the shape of a bottomed cylinder having a substantially rectangular cross section, and a wide and wide side wall portion 2a encloses a pack 4 in which waste paper 3 is laminated and wrapped.

The waste paper 3 is made of, for example, so-called tissue paper or other thin paper, has a slender rectangular planar shape, has a size corresponding to the portion of the outer case 2 excluding the lid portion, and has a long length. The paper is double-folded by the center line extending in the direction, and the edges of adjacent papers are sandwiched inside the folds. The waste paper 3 is packed with a packaging film such as polyethylene or cellophane. The pack 4 of the waste paper 3 is enclosed with the outer case 2 by shrinking. The fixed frame portion 6 of the lid portion 5 is fixed to the opening of the outer case 2, and the lid portion 5 is connected to the fixed frame portion 6 via a hinge so as to be opened and closed.

In this chewing gum packaging method, the pack 4 is exposed when the bag-shaped film for shrink processing is broken. The pack 4 may be adhered to the outer case 2 or may be held by a shrink film. However, if the pack 4 is adhered to the outer case 2 with an adhesive or the like with a light force, the pack 4 does not drop from the outer case 2 when the shrink film is removed, and the pack 4 is stuck to the outer case 2. The cut sheet 4a can be opened and the waste paper 3 can be taken out.
Further, since the pack 4 does not come off until the chewing gum 1 is completely chewed, the usage rate of the waste paper 3 is improved.

<Second Embodiment> FIG. 2 shows a second embodiment of the present invention. In the method of packing chewing gum in Figure 2,
The unwrapped granular chewing gum as in the first embodiment is stored in the outer case 2, the lid 5 is opened, and the chewing gum is taken out. The waste paper 7 is wrapped around the peripheral wall of the outer case 2. As shown in FIG. 3, the waste paper 7 has a long belt shape, and perforations 8 are provided at positions at regular intervals in the longitudinal direction. A layer of a pressure-sensitive adhesive that is lightly adhered to the outer case 2 is formed on the surface of the waste paper 7 that contacts the outer case 2.

As described above, if the waste paper 7 is wound around the peripheral wall portion of the outer case 2 so that the waste paper 7 can be cut off by the perforations 8 and the wound state can be maintained by the adhesive layer, It is possible to discard the chewing gum by cutting it at regular intervals without the waste paper 7 unraveling. Moreover, because of the adhesive layer, even if the chewing gum after being chewed is wrapped, the chewing gum is adhered by the adhesive layer and the wrapping cannot be easily unraveled, so that the adhesion to the road surface or the floor surface is reduced.

<Third Embodiment> FIG. 3 shows a chewing gum package according to a third embodiment. Chewing gum 1
Is a granular chewing gum that is put into the mouth and chewed as shown in FIG. Many chewing gums are stored in the outer case 9. The outer case 9 has one opening,
The other has a bottomed cylindrical shape with a bottom portion. The lid 10 is detachably fitted into the opening of the outer case 9.

A rectangular recess 11 extending in the longitudinal direction of the outer case 9 is formed on the side surface of the outer case 9, and waste paper 12 stacked in the recess 11 is stored. As shown in FIG. 5, the waste paper 12 is a rectangular paper folded in two at the center, and adhesive layers 13 are formed on the front and back surfaces of both ends in the longitudinal direction. The folded waste paper 7 is adhered by the adhesive layer 13 so as not to fall apart. In addition, the bottom surface 11 of the recess 11
The waste paper 12 in contact with a is adhered to the bottom surface 11a. The waste paper 7 and the outer case 2 are wrapped with cellophane paper or the like.

As a method for attaching the waste paper 7 to the outer case 2, the recess 6 may not be formed in the outer case 2 and the waste paper 7 and the outer case may be bonded to each other and shrink-processed with cellophane paper or the like. good.

It is also possible to fold a piece of paper in a bellows shape and provide an adhesive layer in the vicinity of the fold so that it does not spread easily when folded and is cut at perforations. Furthermore, as waste paper, paper, film,
Sheets, foils, etc. can be mentioned, but if the paper is thick or film, sheet, foil, etc., the chewing gum that has adhered to the paper does not easily exude to the surface of the paper, so even if it is discarded on the road, it will adhere to the road. It is difficult and easy to collect when sweeping with a broom. Characters, characters, news, data, information, etc. may be printed on the surface of the waste paper, and the contour shape of the waste paper is not limited to a rectangle such as a rectangle, but may be a circle or a character contour to have a collecting function. .

[0017]

According to the method of packing a chewing gum of the first aspect of the present invention, even if the chewing gum is a type that is not wrapped in paper, the waste paper can be taken out after the chewing, wrapped and discarded. Further, according to the method for packaging chewing gum of claim 2, the chewing gum that has been bitten can be wrapped by cutting the waste paper wound around the outer case with perforations at predetermined intervals. At that time, since the adhesive layer is coated, the wound state cannot be easily unraveled, so it is easy to use.
