Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a container for storing and transporting wet towels that have different shapes during supply and collection.

The wet towels are rod-shaped when being supplied, but become lump-like when being collected. Conventionally, in order to supply or collect wet towels, they were stored in synthetic resin bags and transported. However, when the towels are stored in a synthetic resin bag in this way, it is not possible to check the quantity, and each time the towels have to be taken out of the plastic bag and checked, this confirmation process requires a lot of effort. It takes time. In order to eliminate such drawbacks, recently, a plurality of compartments are formed within the container body by partitions, and one partition forming each compartment is separated from the other partition, or a partial partition is formed toward the side of the container body. When supplying a bar-shaped towel, it is stored between the partition or the side of the container body and the partial partition, and when collecting a lump-shaped towel, it is stored on both sides of the partial partition. A container is provided.
The partition of such a conventional container is formed into a plate shape whose upper edge reaches near the upper opening of the container body.
Therefore, when taking out the rod-shaped wet towel stored in the compartment, the joints of the fingers come into contact with the partition and cannot be bent, making it difficult to take them out. In addition, when bulk towels are stored, the contact area between the towels and the partition, that is, the frictional resistance, increases, and when the towels are collected and transferred to a belt conveyor for cleaning and sterilization, they are taken out one by one. must,
Work efficiency is extremely poor. In order to solve this problem, it is possible to invert the container and use the hole formed in the bottom to make the towel drop by protruding a rod, but using mechanical means like this would require high equipment costs. Become.

The purpose of this invention is to provide a wet towel container that not only makes it easy and quick to check the number of wet towels, but also allows easy removal of stored towels in the form of sticks or blocks. It is on offer.

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention forms a plurality of rectangular compartments with partitions in a container body with continuous sides on the bottom, and divides each compartment into equal parts on the sides of the compartment. A partition is provided, and recesses directed downward are formed at the tops of both sides of the partial partitions in the partition, and the recesses allow the joints of the fingers to escape, and also reduce the frictional resistance between the lumpy wet towel and the partition. It is characterized by being configured to be able to do the following.

Hereinafter, one embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail based on the drawings. The container of the present invention is made of synthetic resin, and has a rectangular bottom 1 formed in a lattice shape, plate-shaped sides 2 connected to the four circumferences, and an open top, as shown in FIGS. 1 to 4. A main body 3 is configured. The side 2 is inclined upwardly so that its bottom can be fitted into the open top of another container body 3 to allow stacking. A receiving edge 4 that protrudes laterally is connected to the upper edge of the container body 3, and a brim portion 5 is provided to protrude from the lower end of the side 2. When the flange-shaped portion 5 is fitted into the receiving edge 4, the flange-like portion 5 is placed on the receiving edge 4 and can be positioned. Container body 3
The inside is divided into two rows by a vertical partition 6 along the long side direction and a plurality of horizontal partitions 7 (nine in the illustrated example) along the short side direction.
A rectangular compartment 8 for 10 pieces is formed. The long side of each compartment 8, i.e. the vertical partition 6 and the side 2 in the long side direction.
The distance between the short side of each compartment ₈ , that is, the horizontal partition 7 and the side 2 in the short side direction, and the distance between the horizontal partitions 7 is set to a length that can accommodate the rod-shaped wet towel _A1. The depth of each compartment 8 is set to a length that is longer than the diameter of the wet towel A ₂ in the form of a block, and the depth of each compartment 8 is set to accommodate a plurality of rod-shaped towels A ₁ (two in the illustrated example).
They are set so that they can be placed in parallel horizontally. The compartment 8 is divided equally into the long side of each compartment 8, that is, the horizontal partition 7 and the short side 2 (in the illustrated example, it is divided into two equal parts)
Partial partitions 9 are protruded to face each other. Particularly, as is clear from FIG. 4, the partial partitions 9 of each set in each compartment 8 are arranged such that the width gradually becomes wider from the top to the bottom, that is, the space between these partial partitions 9 becomes gradually narrower from the top to the bottom. The interval between the upper parts of the partial partitions 9 is set to be approximately equal to the diameter of the wet towel _A1 having the smallest diameter. A semicircular recess 10 is cut out in the long side of each compartment 8, that is, in the horizontal partition 7, on both sides of the partial partition 9, extending downward from the upper edge. A vertically elongated peephole 11 through which the interior of each compartment 8 can be seen from the side is formed in the long side 2 of the container body 3, and a handle 12 formed by an opening is formed in the center of the short side 2. It is formed.

In order to use the container of the present invention having the above structure, the towels A ₁ packed in rod-shaped bags are stored between the partial partitions 9 in each compartment 8 in two layers, upper and lower, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4. . At this time, the space between the partial partitions 9 gradually narrows from the top to the bottom as described above, and the space at the top is the smallest diameter towel.
Since the diameter is set to be approximately equal to the diameter of the wet towel A ₁ , the center part of the wet towel A ₁ can be slightly deformed and forcibly pushed in, and the wet towel A 1 can be held between the partial partitions 9 . In this way, towel A ₁ is placed in each compartment 8.
After being stored in the container, they are transported. During transportation, even if the container is tilted, each wet towel _A1 is held between the partitions 9 as described above, so that it can be prevented from slipping out of the container. . After transportation, the wet towel A ₁ has the recess 10 cut out in the horizontal partition 7 as described above, so that the joints of the fingers can escape through this recess 10, and the wet towel A ₁ held between the partial partitions 9 can be removed. It can be easily taken out from the container. The used wet towel A ₂ can be stored on both sides of the partial partition 9 in each compartment 8 and recovered. By cutting out the recess 10 in the horizontal partition 7 as described above, the wet towel A ₂ after collection can reduce the contact area with the horizontal partition 7, that is, the frictional resistance. You can easily drop it by just shaking it.

In the embodiment described above, the rod-shaped wet towels _A1 are stored in two levels, upper and lower, but more than that may be stored, and the number of partial partitions 9 may be increased accordingly. For example, when storing in three stages, two partial partitions 9 may be provided facing each other to divide each compartment 8 into three equal parts. Further, instead of being provided opposite to the partial partitions 9, it may be sufficient to just protrude from one of the horizontal partitions 7. In addition, the present invention can be modified in various ways without departing from its basic technical concept.

As is clear from the above explanation, according to the present invention, by providing a partial partition in the compartment, it is possible to match the quantity of bar-shaped towels and block-shaped towels stored, and therefore, the quantity can be confirmed with just a glance. This allows confirmation work to be performed easily and quickly. Further, downwardly recessed portions are formed in the upper portions of both sides of the partial partition in the partition. Therefore, when taking out a stick-shaped wet towel stored in the compartment, the joint of the finger can be bent by letting it escape through the recess, and the work of taking out the wet towel can be easily performed.Moreover, when a block-shaped wet towel is stored, , the contact area between the wet towel and the partition, that is, the frictional resistance, can be reduced, and lumpy wet towels can be easily dropped by simply inverting the container and shaking it up and down, eliminating the need for expensive equipment costs. There are advantages such as being able to
