BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an improvement in a wet tissue container for accommodating a large number of wet tissues.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a wet tissue in which paper or non-woven fabric is impregnated with alcohol or the like has been used to hermetically contain it so as to prevent evaporation of the alcohol or the like as much as possible.

For example, a wet tissue container 1 shown in FIG. 12 is a container in which cylindrical storage containers 2 and 2 are arranged side by side and are mounted in a mounting frame 3. A large number of different types of wet tissues are stored in the storage containers 2 and 2, respectively, and caps 5 and 5 are attached to the outlets 4 and 4, respectively, so that the liquid impregnated in the wet tissues does not evaporate. Has become.

In this wet tissue container 1, a wet tissue (not shown) is taken out from an outlet 4.
When the container 1 is taken out, a relatively large frictional force acts, so that such a work cannot be performed without holding the container 1 by hand.
That is, unless one hand grasps one end of the wet tissue with one hand and holds the wet tissue container 1 with the other hand, the wet tissue cannot be pulled out against the frictional force. Therefore, suction cups 6, 6 whose suction surfaces are exposed downward from the mounting frame 3 are provided, and the wet tissue container 1 is fixed via the mounting 3, so that the wet tissue can be pulled out with one hand.

[0005]

However, FIG.
With such a structure, since the mounting frame 3 is provided in addition to the wet tissue container 1, the whole structure is relatively large, and there is a disadvantage that it is difficult to organize and is inferior in daily use. Further, since members such as the attachment frame 3 and the suction cup 6 are required separately from the wet tissue container 1, there is a problem that the production cost is increased and the user is burdened accordingly.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made to solve the above-described problems, and has as its object to provide a wet tissue container that can easily and reliably take out a wet tissue for each unit of use with one hand.

Preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described below in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. The embodiment described below is a preferred specific example of the present invention, and thus various technically preferable limitations are added. However, the scope of the present invention particularly limits the present invention in the following description. The embodiment is not limited to these embodiments unless otherwise stated.

FIG. 1 shows a wet tissue container according to an embodiment of the present invention and an outer container containing the wet tissue container.
In the figure, the wet tissue container 10 is the outer container 2
2 is accommodated. In the wet tissue container 10, the container body 11 is a packaging container, and is formed of a flexible material such as a laminate of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) and polyethylene (PE) or aluminum (AL). The liquid impregnated in the wet tissue stored in the container is not easily volatilized.

An outlet 1 is provided on the upper surface of the container body 11.
2 are provided, and a detachable label 13 is affixed so as to close the outlet 12. This label 13
Is a feature of the present embodiment.

In use, the wet tissue container 10 of FIG. 1 is contained in an outer container 22 which is often used integrally. That is, the wet tissue container 10 may be sold in the outer container 22 in some cases, and when the wet tissue in the wet tissue container 10 is used up, the wet tissue container 10 is removed from the outer container 22 and a large number of wet tissues are removed. In some cases, the newly purchased wet tissue container 10 is placed and the outer container 22 is reused as it is. Therefore, only the wet tissue container 10 may be sold with a large number of wet tissues stored therein.

The outer container 22 comprises a lid 21 and an outer container body 22. The outer container main body 22 forms a strong case main body made of a synthetic resin or the like, has an upper opening, and is formed in a size that can accommodate the wet tissue container 10. The lid 21 can be attached and detached by being attached so as to cover the opening of the outer container main body 22, so that the wet tissue container 10 accommodated therein can be easily replaced.
An opening 23 serving as a take-out port is provided at the center of the lid 21.
Is provided. As will be described later, a separating means 24 is formed in the opening 23 so that when the wet tissue is pulled out, the wet tissue can be separated for each unit of use. In FIG. 1, this separating means 24 comprises two tongue pieces 24a, 24b arranged with their free ends facing each other. Further, a lid body 25 is provided to open and close the opening 23 of the lid body 21.
Can be opened and closed by a hinge 26 formed on a side edge of the lid 21.

FIG. 2 shows a state in which the lid 21 is attached to the outer container body 25 in a state where the wet tissue container 10 is accommodated therein. In the figure, when the lid main body 25 is opened, an opening 23 which is a takeout opening of the outer container 22 is exposed. From this opening 23, the starting end of the unit of use of the wet tissue S is exposed to the outside as shown. It has become. The user can take out the wet tissue for each unit of use by grasping and pulling out the starting end.

FIG. 3 shows a label 13 closing the outlet 12 of the wet tissue container 10 shown in FIG. The label 13 is formed of a material such as a laminate of vinyl chloride and polypropylene or a laminate of polyethylene terephthalate and polypropylene. When the user purchases the wet tissue container 10, the liquid impregnated in the wet tissue as the content is used. The outlet 12 is sealed in order to prevent volatilization of the gas or to maintain hygiene. Therefore, the label 13
Is formed, for example, in an oval or rectangular shape so as to cover the outlet 12 as shown in the figure. The label 13 is provided with a knob 13a so that the user can easily remove the label 13 by grasping it. As a result, the outlet 12 of the main body 11 is exposed, and the outlet 1 of the container body 11 is exposed.
2 can take out the wet tissue.

FIG. 4 is a partially enlarged sectional view of the label 13. In the figure, a label 13 is provided with a first bonding means 17 provided on a lower surface of a label body 14, a second bonding means 15 provided on an upper surface of the label body 14, and a label on the second bonding means 15. Release sheet 16 provided.
Each of the bonding means 15 and 17 is formed by applying a vinyl acetate-based adhesive, for example, so that it can be repeatedly attached and detached after it is peeled off and can be adhered to an object to be bonded. Then, one of the two bonding units 15 and 17 is set to have higher bonding strength than the other bonding unit. In the present embodiment, for example, the bonding strength of the first bonding unit 17 is the second bonding unit 1.
The adhesive strength is higher than the adhesive strength of No. 5. In order to make the adhesive strength different as described above, it is preferable to change the application amount and area of the adhesive or to use an adhesive made of a different material.

On the other hand, in the container body 11 of the wet tissue container 10, a wet tissue S is stored as shown in FIG. The wet tissue S is formed by impregnating a base material such as paper or nonwoven fabric with a liquid such as alcohol or water, for example, and is folded and stored in the container body 11. In this case, each unit of use of the wet tissue S is one unit in which one or a plurality of sheets are stacked in advance so as to be suitable for one use of the user. The use unit S1 and the next use unit S2 following the use unit S1 are folded and accommodated with their ends partially overlapping. That is, an end portion of the use unit S1,
The start end of the next use unit S2 is overlapped as shown.

Thus, when the unit of use S1 of the wet tissue S is pulled out, the next unit of use S2 is simultaneously moved by the friction of the overlapped ends and stays at the take-out opening. Next, the function of the separating means 24 of the opening (extraction port) 21 provided in the lid 21 of FIG. 1 will be described, and the removal of the wet tissue will be described. Here, in the present embodiment, as described in FIG. 1, the wet tissue container 10 has a container body 11 that is a package, and the take-out port 12 on the upper surface is configured as a simple opening. The function of separating the unit of use S1 from the unit of use S2 is due to the action of the separating means 24 provided on the lid 21 of the outer container 22. However, the wet tissue container 10 may not be accommodated in the outer container 22 and the opening 12 of the wet tissue container 10 may be configured to have the same function as the separating means 24 of the lid 21. Based on this, the separating means 24 of FIG.
The function of will be described.

As shown in FIG. 6, the tongue pieces 24a, 24b of the separating means 24 are arranged such that their tips face each other, and the wet tissue passing between the tongue pieces 24a, 24b. The unit has a function of applying an external force to the unit of use S1 so as to sandwich it in the thickness direction. As a result, when the user holds the use unit S1 and pulls it upward in the drawing, the use unit S1 is drawn upward. At this time, the next use unit S2 is
Since the start end portion of the use unit S1 is overlapped near the end, the frictional force acts, and as shown in the drawing, the use unit S1 is pulled out halfway. However, when all the use units S1 are pulled out, the next use unit S2 stops at the spot due to the force applied in the thickness direction of the wet tissue by the tips of the tongue pieces 24a and 24b, and stops halfway. In this stopped state, as shown in FIG. 2, since the use unit S2 stops slightly out of the take-out port 23, it gives a clue to pull it out at the next use.

On the other hand, for example, a large amount of wet tissue, which is contained in the wet tissue container 10, is used and the remaining amount is reduced, so that the wet tissue container 10
Consider a state where the total weight of is reduced. In such a state, when the user pulls the use unit S1 upward, the wet tissue container 11 and the wet tissue and outer container 2
Since the total weight of the two is reduced, the force of the separating means 24 is greater than the total weight, and the wet tissue container 10 and the entire outer container 22 are lifted up inside the outer container 22. In this state, the positional relationship between the wet tissue container 10 and the outer container 22 changes, and as shown in FIG.
a, 24b tip and wet tissue use unit S1
Will rotate relatively around the point of contact with

For this reason, the force applied by the tongue pieces 24a and 24b is in a direction different from the thickness direction with respect to the unit of use S1 of the wet tissue, and the force is applied along the surface of the wet tissue. Diverted to As a result, the frictional force at the portion where the unit of use S1 and the unit of use S2 overlap is greater than the force by which the separating unit 24 stops the unit of use S1 of the wet tissue, so that the unit of use S1 At the same time that the next unit of use S2 is pulled out at the same time (hereinafter, this phenomenon is referred to as a “dragging phenomenon”).
). In the present embodiment, the above-mentioned label 13 is used to prevent such a phenomenon.

The present embodiment is configured as described above, and its operation will be described below. As described above, the wet tissue container 10 uses the label 13 to prevent the drag phenomenon described above. As shown in FIG. 8, the wet tissue container 10 is accommodated in an outer container 22. In this case, the wet tissue container 10
Then, the label 13 is peeled off, and the first bonding means 17 where the label 13 is exposed is bonded to the bottom 11 a of the container body 11. On the other hand, the release sheet 1 shown in FIG.
6 to expose the second bonding means 15,
Is adhered to the bottom inner side 25a of the outer container body 25 of the outer container 22.

Thus, as shown in FIG. 9, when the user pulls out the unit of use S1 of the wet tissue from the outlet 12 of the wet tissue container 10, the unit of use S1 is transferred to the separating means 24 of the outer container. , The relationship described in FIG. 6 is maintained. That is, the user uses the unit S
1 can be applied to the wet tissue container 10 even when the pulling force is applied to the wet tissue container 10.
The outer container body 25 of the outer container 22 is labeled with the label 13.
Since it is adhered to, it does not tilt. For this reason, the separating means 24 has an ideal positional relationship shown in FIG. 6 with respect to the unit of use S1 of the wet tissue, and appropriately applies a force for holding the wet tissue in the thickness direction. . Therefore, the user can pull out the usage unit S1 with one hand, and at this time, it is effectively prevented that the next usage unit S2 is pulled out together with the usage unit S1.

In this respect, in particular, the wet tissue container 10
Even if the remaining amount of the wet tissue is reduced and the weight is reduced, the wet tissue container 10 and the outer container 2
2 does not lift, so that the positional relationship between the wet tissue container 10 and the outer container 22 does not change.

Further, since the second adhesive means 15 has a weaker adhesive strength than the first adhesive means 17, if the contents of the wet tissue container 10 are reduced by using a wet tissue, the wet tissue container 10 is removed by the second adhesive means. Bonding means 15
Remove from Then, since the first bonding means 17 is simultaneously peeled off while being attached to the wet tissue container 10, it can be easily replaced with a newly purchased wet tissue container 10.

FIG. 10 shows another use state of the label 13. The wet tissue container 10 includes an outer container 22.
Is housed in In this case, the wet tissue container 10 is peeled off the label 13, and the first bonding means 17 with the exposed label 13 is attached to the outer container body 25 of the outer container 22.
Is adhered to the bottom portion 25b. On the other hand, the release sheet 16 of FIG.
5 is adhered to the upper surface of the base B such as the indoor floor.

In the case where the wet tissue is used as shown in FIG. 10, the user can use the wet tissue unit S1 from the outlet 12 of the wet tissue container 10 as in the case of FIG.
Is pulled out, the outer container 22 is fixed to the base B, so that the use unit S1 maintains the relationship described with reference to FIG. Therefore, the user can pull out the usage unit S1 with one hand, and at this time, it is effectively prevented that the next usage unit S2 is pulled out together with the usage unit S1.

As shown in FIG. 8 to FIG.
The above-mentioned separating means 24 can be formed at the outlet 12 of the wet tissue container 10 without using the above. In this case, the peeled label 13 is adhered to the bottom 11a of the wet tissue container 11 by the second adhesive means 15, and the second adhesive means 1 of the label 13 is attached.
7 may be bonded to a floor or the like. This allows
The wet tissue contained in the wet tissue container 10 is not lifted when the user draws out the unit of use S1, so that the wet tissue is separated from the separating means 24 by the user in FIG.
Can be maintained. For this reason, the user can pull out the use unit S1 with one hand.
It is effectively prevented that the next use unit S2 is pulled out together with the use unit S1.

Here, the separating means is not limited to the configuration shown in FIG. For example, as shown in FIG.
9, the tips 28a, 28b of one tongue piece 28 face each other, and the support portion 29 and the tips 28a, 28
8b has exactly the same function as that of the separating means 27 configured to apply a pinching force in the thickness direction to the wet tissue passing therethrough. Therefore,
The separating means of the lid 21 may be configured as shown in FIG. The separating means 24 may be formed of a small round hole or the like as long as the first and second units of wet tissue can be separated, in addition to the above.
