Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a heating / wetting device for a paper towel, which heats and wets paper such as a paper towel which is stronger than general toilet paper.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, there is a wetting device for wetting roll-shaped paper, for example, the roll paper disclosed in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 4-176416, which wets the roll paper with a liquid supplied from a water supply nozzle through an auxiliary roller. Inventions have been made relating to wetting devices. Further, as another conventional example, an invention relating to a roll paper wetting device of JP-A-64-80326 in which a roll paper is passed between a pair of rollers which are rotationally driven, and one of the rollers is a wetting roller has been made. .

However, in any of the above-mentioned inventions, the structure is complicated, and it is a fixed type to be mounted on a wall surface or the like, which is large in size, so that it cannot be carried. On the other hand, when making it possible to carry it with a device of the type that heats the wetting solution with this type of wetting device, if the device falls down, the heated solution may flow out from the roll paper outlet and cause burns etc. There's a problem.

[0004]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned conventional problems, and has a simple structure, is easy to carry, and can take out a heated and heated paper towel. It is an object of the present invention to provide a warming and moistening device for a paper towel that does not flow out of heated water or the like from the paper towel outlet even when the device falls over while being carried.

[0005]

In order to achieve the above object, a heating and wetting apparatus for a paper towel according to the present invention comprises an inner container having a top opening for accommodating a paper towel together with a solution, which is internally provided in an outer case having a top opening. And a plurality of return spars rotatably provided adjacent to each other on the circumference of the paper towel outlet provided on the lid that covers the upper opening of the outer case, as well as providing a heater for heating the inside of the container. It is characterized in that a shutter-type aperture is provided so as to be movably connected and linked via an annular link.

When the heating / wetting device for a paper towel having the above-mentioned structure is accidentally tumbled, each return spatula holds the paper towel in place, so that the heated solution in the inner container is taken out of the paper towel. Can function as a safety device by preventing it from flowing out of the device.

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a partial cross-sectional side view of a heating and wetting device for a paper towel according to the embodiment, and FIG. FIG. 2 is a plan view of a take-out port portion of the paper towel of FIG. 1. First, in this apparatus, an inner container 3 having an upper surface opening is provided inside an outer case 1 having an upper surface opening, and a paper towel 5 is put in the inner container 3 together with a solution A such as water or a disinfectant solution.

Next, an electric heater 6 for heating the inside of the inner container 3 is provided at the bottom of the outer case 1 so that the solution A in the inner container 3 is heated to about 70.degree. It is designed to be heated, and a heat insulating material 2 is provided between the inner container 3 and the outer case 1. The heater 6 is connected to the power plug 9 and the cord plug 10, and the lid 7 covering the upper surface of the outer case 1 prevents the hands A and the like from being burned by the solution A heated by the heater 6. Therefore, it is locked by the lock mechanism 13 that is pressed by the lever spring 12, and this lock mechanism 13 is released by pushing the opening lever 15 in the direction of arrow P, so that the lid 7 can be opened. In addition, the reference numeral 14 in the figure is a water pipe and
Denoted at 8 is a high temperature protective cover.

Next, the paper towel 5 which has been heated and moistened with the solution A heated by the heater 6 as described above is provided substantially at the center of the lid 7 of the outer case 1 so as to take it out from the inside of the inner container 3. As shown in FIG. 2, a plurality of return spars 22 are provided on the circumference of the take-out port 8 so as to be rotatably adjacent to each other by screws 21.
Through the ring-shaped link 23, the slot 25 and the screw 24 respectively.
Shutter-type aperture 2 which is linked and linked freely with and
0 is provided.

In the state shown in FIG. 3, the squeezing port 20 is closed with the paper towel 5 squeezed in the center thereof, and in the state shown in FIG. 4, the annular link 23 is interlockingly linked to move in the arrow R direction. Each of the return rollers 22 is rotated to facilitate the pulling out of the paper towel 5, and the excess solution A attached to the paper towel 5 is squeezed by each of the return rollers 22 and returned to the inner container 3. On the other hand, when the device falls, the return spatula 22 of the squeeze port 20 causes the paper towel 5 to
Therefore, the solution A in the inner container 3 does not flow out from the outlet 8 and functions as a safety device.

The paper towel 5 placed in the inner container 3
In addition to the roll-shaped one as shown in the drawing, a folded one may be used, and a material that is slightly tougher than general toit paper and insoluble in water is used.
It should be able to withstand heat of around 0 ° C, and has perforations at appropriate intervals so that it can be cut from the perforations by pulling strongly.

[0012]

The heating and wetting device for a paper towel according to the present invention described above has a simple structure and is formed in a small size that can be carried, and the paper towel can be taken out in a heated and wet state. However, it is possible to prevent an accident in which heated water flows out from the outlet of the paper towel and causes burns even if the product falls down while being carried.

That is, by adopting a mechanism like the diaphragm mechanism of a photographic machine, the size of the diaphragm aperture can be adjusted freely, continuously, and finely, and it is suitable according to the wetness of the paper towel. A squeezing opening of a size can be obtained, the paper towel can be taken out smoothly, and the outflow of hot water can be suppressed thereby. Further, when the return spatula is made of a flexible material such as rubber, the contact state with the paper towel becomes good, and the above-mentioned effect can be further improved.
