Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention stores a laminated body of wet tissues in a container body, and the wet tissues in the container body can be sequentially taken out one by one from an outlet of an upper surface portion. It is about.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A wet tissue is obtained by impregnating a base cloth such as paper or nonwoven fabric with a liquid (for example, a liquid in which alcohol, a disinfectant, a preservative, a fragrance, etc. are mixed in water) according to the intended use. It is. In addition, a large number (for example, about 50 to 100 sheets) of this wet tissue are stacked and housed in an airtight plastic container, a film-shaped enclosing bag, or the like to be a product.

By the way, in this type of wet tissue package, a plastic container is used as a container for storing the wet tissue, the cost of the molding die is high and the cost is high. In addition to being bulky, it causes an unfavorable problem such as generation of high heat quantity and generation of toxic gas during incineration. On the other hand, when a film-shaped enclosing bag is used as a wet tissue storage container, it can be manufactured at a relatively low cost, but it has a poor shape-retaining property by itself, and it has a drawback that it does not look good when used as it is. is there.

From such a background, in recent years, attention has been paid to using a paper box as an exterior body of a wet tissue package. By the way, in this type of wet tissue package, since the wet tissue is impregnated with water, when a paper box is used for the exterior body, a waterproof structure is applied to the paper box, or the paper box itself is subjected to a waterproof treatment. There is a need.

A wet tissue wrapping body having a waterproof structure for such a paper box is conventionally used, for example, as shown in FIG.
There is known one as shown in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 6-1993.
No. 73). In the known wet tissue package shown in FIG. 9, a paper box 50 is used as a main body of an exterior body, and an enclosing bag 53 containing a stack 52 of wet tissues 51 is stored in the paper box 50 and the upper surface of the paper box 50. Part 54
A plastic mold material 56 having a wet tissue take-out port 55 is attached thereto. The plastic mold member 56 has an upper mold member 57 and a lower mold member 58 that are fitted in concave and convex portions, and the upper and lower mold members 57 and 58 sandwich the rim of the paper box upper surface 54 from above and below. The upper surface of the enclosing bag 53 is attached to the lower surface of the lower mold member 58.

In the well-known wet tissue package shown in FIG. 9, the main body of the outer package is formed of a paper box 50, but the wet tissue laminate 52 is covered with a film-made enclosing bag 53. Further, since the wet tissue take-out port 55 (the wet tissue 51a taken out comes into contact with the edge portion of the take-out port 55) is formed in the plastic mold material 56, the wet tissue 51 is formed.
The water impregnated into the paper box 50 is prevented from coming into contact with the paper box 50. In this known wet tissue package, when the empty exterior body is discarded, the plastic mold material 56 is separated from the paper box 50 and the mold material 5 is removed.
6 parts and 50 parts of the paper box can be separately collected.

[0007]

However, in the known wet tissue package shown in FIG. 9, the main body of the exterior body is formed of the paper box 50, but as a waterproof structure for the paper box 50, the wet tissue laminate is used. Since 52 is stored in the paper box 50 in a state in which it is covered with a film-made enclosing bag 53, the enclosing bag 53 is required and a device for accommodating the wet tissue laminate 52 in the enclosing bag 53 and the storing process thereof. Is required. Further, since the wet tissue take-out port 55 portion is formed of the plastic mold material 56, the mold material 56 (and the mold for molding the mold material) is required, resulting in high cost and separate collection at the time of disposal. In addition, there is a problem that a troublesome work of separating the template 56 and the paper box 50 is required. In addition, even if the mold material 56 and the paper box 50 are separately collected in this manner, when the plastic mold material 56 is tried to be incinerated, there is a problem that the calorific value is high (which damages the incinerator) and toxic gas is generated. .

By the way, in this type of wet tissue package, the inner surface of the paper box itself is waterproofed (for example, aluminum foil is coated or a waterproof film is laminated), and the outer package is formed only by the paper box. It is conceivable that the wet tissue laminate is directly stored in the paper box. However, in that case, although the inner surface of the paper box is waterproof, the edge of the wet tissue outlet formed on the upper surface of the paper box does not have a waterproof function, and the wet tissue protruding from the outlet is not removed. The moisture of the wet tissue comes into contact with the end surface of the mouth of the outlet and permeates the inside of the paper material from the end surface of the mouth of the outlet, and the vicinity of the edge of the outlet is wiped off in a relatively short time. It will be softened. As described above, even if an outer package is formed only by a paper box, there is a problem that the vicinity of the rim of the outlet becomes unusable in a relatively short time.Currently, in this type of wet tissue packaging, only the paper box is used. I can't find the one with the outer casing formed in.

In view of the above-mentioned problems, the present invention is a wet tissue package of this type, even if it is formed of only an inexpensive paper box as the container body and the wet tissue laminate is stored as it is in the container body. , A space (concave portion) for locating the wet tissue advancing portion on the upper surface of the container body can be easily formed, and the wet tissue advancing portion positioned in the space can be easily formed. It is intended to prevent it from drying out.

[0010]

[Means for Solving the Problems] The wet tissue package of the present invention has the following constitution as means for solving the above problems.

The invention of claim 1 of the present application In the invention of claim 1 of the present application, a laminated body of wet tissues is directly housed in a container having a shape-retaining property, and the wet tissue is taken out from the outlet of the wet tissue formed on the upper surface of the container. In a wet tissue package in which the tissues can be taken out one by one, the container body is a waterproof paper box and is formed in a closed structure excluding the take-out port. A waterproofing agent is applied over the circumference, and a paper lid plate for opening and closing the outlet is provided on the upper surface of the container body.

The wet tissue laminate used in the present application is a laminate in which an appropriate number of wet tissues cut into a rectangular shape having a predetermined area are sequentially folded in zigzags.
Then, when the uppermost wet tissue is pulled out, the next wet tissue is continuously pulled out accordingly. The wet tissue is obtained by impregnating a base cloth such as paper or nonwoven fabric with a liquid (for example, a liquid in which alcohol, a disinfectant, an antiseptic, a fragrance, and the like are mixed in water). .

The paper box serving as the container body is appropriately waterproofed. The waterproofing method is, for example, coating the inner surface with a waterproofing agent such as aluminum foil or laminating a waterproof film. Alternatively, a method of impregnating a paper material with a waterproofing agent, or the like can be adopted.
Further, it is preferable that this waterproofing treatment is performed before molding into a paper box. Even if the paper box is waterproof in this way, the end surface of the paper material does not have a waterproof function as it is.

The container body (paper box) is formed by cutting one sheet of base paper into a predetermined shape and assembling it into a box shape.
Seal the edge joints on each side of the paper box by an appropriate method. still,
It is possible to print directly on the outer surface of the paper box, and it is advisable to perform appropriate printing on the outer surface of the paper box before assembly.

As the wet tissue take-out port on the upper surface of the container body, for example, an elongated hole-shaped one, an elliptical one, or one simply cut into a line can be adopted, and the take-out port is a wet inside the container body. It has the function of holding a part of the tissue (protruding part). The outlet can also be sealed with a sealing sheet until used by the consumer.

A waterproofing agent is applied to the end surface of the mouth edge of the wet tissue take-out port over the entire circumference, but any appropriate waterproofing agent can be adopted as long as it has a waterproof function. . For example, a brazing material or a hot-melt resin can be used as the waterproofing agent.

The lid plate may be formed integrally with the material of the container body (paper box), or another cardboard may be attached to the material of the paper box. In addition, it is preferable that this cover plate is also waterproofed.

The invention of claim 2 of the present application is the invention of claim 2 of the application, wherein in the wet tissue package of claim 1, a concave portion having a predetermined small depth is integrally formed on the upper surface of the container body by press molding. An outlet for the wet tissue is formed on the bottom surface of the recessed portion, and the upper portion of the recessed portion can be opened and closed by the lid plate. In this case, as the paper material, a material having shape retention after press molding is adopted. Further, the press forming of the recessed portion may be performed in a state where the box material is expanded in advance. The recessed portion serves as a space for locating a part of the uppermost wet tissue in the container body in a state of being exposed above the outlet.

Invention of Claim 3 In the invention of Claim 3 of the present invention, in the wet tissue package of Claim 2, the lid plate is bonded in close contact with the upper surface of the container body on the outer periphery of the recessed portion in the closed state. I am trying. As a means for bringing the lid plate into close contact with the upper surface of the container body, the lid plate and the upper surface of the container body are fitted in a concavo-convex shape so that they can be fitted and removed over the entire circumference at a position surrounding the outer periphery of the recessed portion, or The back surface of the cover plate (the position surrounding the outside of the recessed portion) can be repeatedly coated with the adhesive that can be adhered. When the cover plate is closely fitted to the upper surface of the container body by concave-convex fitting, an annular ridge and a groove to be fitted to the cover plate and the upper surface of the container body are press formed. Should be formed by.

[0020]

According to the first aspect of the present invention, the paper box is used as the container body. However, since the paper box is waterproofed and has a closed structure except the wet tissue take-out port. Even if the wet tissue laminate is directly stored in the container body, the moisture of the wet tissue does not evaporate to the outside from the portion other than the outlet.
Further, since the take-out port is opened and closed by the lid plate, the take-out port is closed in the closed state, and it is possible to prevent evaporation of water from the take-out port. On the other hand, the wet tissue passes through or is held by the wet tissue advancing portion at the outlet of the upper surface of the container body. At that time, the wet tissue contacts the end surface of the lip of the outlet. By the way, since the waterproofing agent is applied to the end surface of the mouth of the outlet over the entire circumference thereof, even if the wet tissue comes into contact with the end surface of the mouth, the moisture content of the paper material of the mouth end. Does not penetrate inside. Therefore, even if the container body is formed of only a paper box, it can sufficiently endure as a wet tissue container. Further, since this container body is entirely made of paper, it can be manufactured at low cost. Further, when the container body is formed of only paper material as described above, it is not necessary to separately collect the waste tissue when it is discarded after the wet tissue is used up, and it can be folded into a small size. The amount of heat when incinerated becomes smaller. In addition, when the amount of heat at the time of incineration becomes small, the degree of damage of the incinerator becomes low and the useful life of the incinerator becomes long.

In the wet tissue package of the present invention as defined in claim 2, since the concave portion is formed on the upper surface of the container body and the outlet is formed on the bottom surface of the concave portion, a part of the wet tissue inside the container body. The (protruding portion) can be held in a state of being positioned in the recessed portion. Therefore, when the wet tissue is pulled out next time, the wet tissue protruding portion can be pinched. Further, since the recessed portion is integrally formed by press molding, a dedicated member for the recessed portion becomes unnecessary. Further, since the upper part of the recessed portion is closed by the lid plate, the wet tissue advancing portion held in position in the recessed portion is difficult to dry.

In the wet tissue package according to the third aspect of the present invention, when the lid plate is closed, the lower surface of the lid plate is intimately joined to the upper surface of the container body at the outer periphery of the recessed portion. In the lid state, the outer periphery of the recessed portion is sealed.

[0023]

As described above, in the invention of claim 1 of the present application, since the entire exterior body (container body and lid plate) for accommodating the wet tissue laminate is made of paper, it can be manufactured at low cost and at the time of disposal. There is an effect that it is not necessary to separate and collect, and the entire container can be folded into a small size to be compact, and in addition, the amount of heat when incinerated can be reduced. Further, even if the container is a paper box, it is waterproofed and a waterproofing agent is applied to the edge surface of the mouth edge of the wet tissue outlet, so that the container deteriorates in the period when the internal wet tissue is used up. There is no effect, and there is an effect that it can be sufficiently used as a wet tissue container.

According to the second aspect of the present invention, since the recessed portion is integrally formed on the upper surface of the container body by press molding, the recessed portion can be formed without increasing the number of members. Further, since the upper portion of the recessed portion is closed by the lid plate, there is an effect that the wet tissue advancing portion which is positioned and held in the recessed portion becomes difficult to dry.

Further, according to the third aspect of the present invention, in the closed state, the lid plate is closely joined to the upper surface of the container body on the outer periphery of the recessed portion, so that the recessed portion is sealed in the closed state. As a result, the wet tissue advancing portion in the recessed portion and the wet tissue in the container body can be maintained in a good wet state.

[0026]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. 1 to 8. FIGS.
Shows a wet tissue package according to the second embodiment of the present application.

In the wet tissue package of the first embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 to 7, the laminated body 8 of the wet tissues 7 is directly housed in the container body 1 having shape retention property, and the upper surface portion 2 of the container body 1 is held. The take-out port 13 of the wet tissue formed in the above can be opened and closed by the cover plate 6.

The wet tissue laminate 8 used in this embodiment is formed by sequentially folding, for example, about 50 to 100 sheets of wet tissue 7 cut into a rectangular shape having a predetermined area in a zigzag shape. The wet tissue 7 is a liquid (for example, water, alcohol, sterilizing material, antiseptic material, base material such as paper or non-woven fabric) suitable for the purpose of use.
It is a liquid impregnated with a fragrance or the like).

The container body 1 is formed of cardboard into a rectangular box shape. The container body 1 includes a top surface portion 2, a bottom surface portion 3,
It has front and rear side surface portions (long side side surface portions) 4, 4, left and right side surface portions (short side side surface portions) 5, 5, and a cover plate 6 that covers the upper surface portion 2. The size of the box part of this container body 1 is
For example, the long side surface 4 has a length of 17 cm and the short side surface 5
Has a length of 11 cm and a height of about 5 cm.
The cover plate 6 has an area that covers the entire upper surface 2. Needless to say, various dimensions of the container body 1 can be appropriately designed and changed.

A downwardly bent piece 23 is provided at the tip of the cover plate 6.
Are formed. The bent piece 23 reinforces the tip portion of the lid plate 6 so as not to bend, and at the same time serves as a finger-holding portion when the lid plate 6 is opened. Further, the bent piece 23 is simply adhered (dotted adhesion) to the long side surface 4 after the production of the wet tissue package. Further, in this embodiment, the cover plate 6 is
Although it is integrally connected to the long side surface portion 4, in another embodiment, the cover plate 6 is formed of a paper material made of another member, and the base end portion is bonded to the side surface portion 4 or the upper surface portion 2. You may let me.

FIG. 6 shows a developed view of the container body 1. In FIG. 6, dotted lines are fold lines, reference numerals 2a, 4a (2 places), 5a (2 places) are adhesive margin pieces, and reference numeral 23 is a bent piece at the tip of the cover plate 6. Is. Then, from the unfolded state of FIG. 6, each fold line portion is valley-folded at an angle of 90 °, and each glue margin piece 2a, 4
The container body 1 is molded as shown in FIGS. 1 to 4 by completely bonding a, 4a, 5a and 5a to predetermined surfaces with an adhesive. In this state, the inside of the container body 1 is maintained in a hermetically sealed state except for an outlet 13 which will be described later. It should be noted that the joints of the surfaces that are not continuous (the joints of the surfaces other than the dotted line in FIG. 6)
May be provided with an appropriate scale as required.

The wet tissue laminate 8 is housed in the container body 1 when the container body material (developed state in FIG. 6) is formed into a box shape.

The container body 1 is appropriately waterproofed. In this waterproofing method, the entire inner surface of the paper box and the lower surface of the lid plate 6 (at least the area corresponding to the recessed portion 11 described later) may be coated with aluminum foil or laminated with a waterproof film, Alternatively, the entire container body 1 may be impregnated with a waterproofing agent (for example, a brazing material). It is advisable to perform these waterproofing processes in a flat base paper state or in a developed state shown in FIG.

A rectangular recess 11 having a predetermined area is formed in substantially the center of the upper surface 2. This recess 1
The size of 1 is, for example, 7 cm in the major axis direction, 5 cm in the minor axis direction, and 5 mm to 1 cm in depth.
The recess 11 may have a shape such as a circle or an ellipse.
Further, it goes without saying that the size of the recessed portion 11 can be changed in design as appropriate.

An outlet 13 for the wet tissue 7 is formed on the bottom surface 12 of the recess 11. This outlet 1
3 is preferably perforated at the same time when the material of the container body 1 (developed state in FIG. 6) is cut. Further, although the take-out port 13 is formed in the shape of an elongated hole in the illustrated example, in other embodiments, it is elliptical, simply cut in a line, or provided with perforations for cutting. Those that can be opened at the time of use can be adopted.

As shown in the enlarged view of FIG. 5, a waterproofing agent 15 is applied to the end surface 14 of the outlet 13 of the opening 13 over the entire circumference of the end surface 14. As the waterproof agent 15, a brazing material or a hot-melt resin can be adopted. Further, the waterproofing agent 15 may be applied to the end surface 14 of the rim portion of the outlet 13 in the developed state shown in FIG.

In the first embodiment, an annular groove 21 is formed on the upper surface 2 of the container body so as to surround the outside of the recess 11, while the lid plate 6 can be fitted into the groove 21. An annular ridge 22 is formed. Then, in the closed state of the cover plate 6, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the projection 22 on the cover plate 6 side is fitted into the concave groove 21 on the upper surface portion 2 side over the entire circumference. There is. In this way, when the ridge 22 is fitted in the groove 21, the outer periphery of the recessed portion 11 is maintained in a substantially airtight state.

The concave portion 11, the concave groove 21, and the protrusion 22 are
It is integrally molded into a paper material by press molding in the unfolded state of FIG. 6 or before cutting into the shape of FIG. 6 or simultaneously with the cutting. Further, this press molding may be performed while applying heat. As the paper material used for the container body 1, it is preferable to adopt a material that maintains its uneven shape as it is when press-molded.

In the wet tissue package of this embodiment, the outlet 13 is covered with the seal sheet 9 immediately after its production. The seal sheet 9 is peeled off when the consumer uses it.

In the wet tissue package of the first embodiment, the wet tissue laminate 8 is stored as it is in the container body 1 made of a waterproof paper box.
Therefore, the container body 1 has shape retention. Then, when used by a consumer, the bent piece 23 of the lid plate 6 is peeled off to open the lid plate 6, and the seal sheet 9 is peeled off.
As shown in FIG. 7, the uppermost wet tissue 7 can be pulled out from the outlet 13. When one of the uppermost wet tissues 7 is pulled out, a part of the succeeding wet tissue 7 (extending portion 7a) is held in a state of being protruded from the outlet 13 and positioned in the recessed portion 11, At the time of taking out the wet tissue, the wet tissue projecting portion 7a can be pinched and pulled out. After use, the lid plate 6 is closed and the annular protrusion 22 on the lid plate 6 side is attached to the upper surface portion 2.
If it is fitted over the entire circumference in the annular groove 21 on the side, the outer circumference of the recessed portion 11 is sealed and the wet tissue 7
(In particular, the protruding portion 7a) is prevented from drying.

Further, in this wet tissue package,
Since the container body 1 is formed of only paper material, the material cost is low and it can be easily manufactured. Further, the container body 1
Is waterproof even if it is a paper box, so that the container body 1 can be stored even if the wet tissue laminate 8 is stored as it is (without being put in a sealed bag as in the known example of FIG. 9).
Can withstand use enough. Therefore, unlike the conventional wet tissue package using a paper box, the enclosing bag for covering the wet tissue laminate is not required, and the material cost and the processing cost (including the processing device cost) can be reduced, and The manufacturing process can be simplified. Further, in the paper box, even if waterproofed, the end face of the paper material usually does not have a waterproof function, but the waterproof agent 1 is applied to the end face 14 of the rim portion of the outlet 13.
Since No. 5 is applied, even if the wet tissue 7 comes into contact with the edge surface 14 of the take-out port 13, the moisture of the wet tissue 7 does not penetrate into the paper material from the edge surface 14 of the edge portion. . Therefore, even if the container body 1 is composed of only a paper box, the edge portion of the take-out port 13 does not become wet with water (becomes gullible), and can be sufficiently used.

When the container body 1 is discarded after the internal wet tissue 7 is used up, since the container body 1 is entirely made of paper, it is not necessary to separate the container body like a plastic body. It can be discarded as it is. At that time, since it is made of paper, it can be crushed (made compact) and discarded. Further, when the container body 1 is incinerated, it does not generate high heat unlike a plastic product and does not damage the incinerator.

The wet tissue package of the second embodiment shown in FIG. 8 shows a modification of the cover plate 6 portion. In this second embodiment, the cover plate 6 is formed to be considerably smaller than that of the first embodiment. A small knob 31 is formed at the tip of the cover plate 6. Further, in the second embodiment, the cover plate is replaced with the concave and convex fitting of the concave groove 21 and the ridge 22 of the first embodiment as the contact means with respect to the container body upper surface portion 2 when the cover plate 6 is closed. The back surface of 6 is coated with the adhesive 32 to form a structure. The adhesive 32 is applied in a ring shape so as to surround the outer peripheral portion of the recessed portion 11 formed in the container body upper surface portion 2 on the back surface of the lid plate 6. The adhesive 32 can be repeatedly attached. Then, in the second embodiment, when the cover plate 6 is closed as shown by the chain line, the adhesive 32 on the back surface thereof adheres to the container body upper surface portion 2 (position surrounding the outer peripheral portion of the recessed portion 11). do it,
The outer circumference of the recess 11 is sealed. Again,
The inside of the recess 11 is prevented from drying. The rest of the configuration of the second embodiment is similar to that of the first embodiment, so its explanation is omitted.
