Description

Non-heating fragrance applicator

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention is directed to a non-heating flavor applicator that provides a user's aroma component without the need for burning or heating.

In recent years, a non-heating type flavor extractor which provides a user's flavor component without burning or heating has been proposed (for example, Patent Document 1 and Patent Document 2). The non-heating type flavor applicator of Patent Document 1 includes a hollow suction holder having a suction port and a filler (aroma component) disposed in the suction holder.

Further, the non-heating type flavor applicator of Patent Document 2 includes a hollow suction holder having a suction port, and a pouch disposed in the suction holder. The pouch divides the air passage in the suction tray into an upper basin and a lower basin, and the inside thereof contains a granular tobacco material that releases a flavor component.

According to the non-heating type flavor applicator of Patent Document 1 and Patent Document 2, the user takes in air from the suction port of the suction holder, thereby absorbing the flavor component contained therein.

However, the above non-heating type flavor extractor has the following problems. The non-heating type flavor applicator of Patent Documents 1 and 2 requires a suction holder in order to accommodate a filler or a pouch. The suction part is a hard part that can be reused. Therefore, the suction port of the suction cup must be frequently managed, but such management is very numb for the user. Annoying.

Further, in recent years, a thin-type fragrance suction device having excellent portability has been sought. However, the user cannot change the suction bracket including the hard portion into a thin shape, and it is difficult to improve the portability.

Therefore, the specific dimensions and the like should be judged by considering the following instructions. In addition, the drawings also include portions having different dimensional relationships or ratios from each other.

(1) Overall outline of the non-heated flavor applicator

The non-heating type flavor extractor 10 has a flavor generating source 20, a bag body 30, and an exterior body 40. The non-heating type flavoring applicator 10 is configured such that the bag body 30 containing the flavor generating source 20 is wrapped by the exterior body 40 and is transmitted through the outer end portion formed in the axial direction of the cylindrical outer casing 40. The openings 41 and 42 absorb the aroma components contained in the flavor generating source in the bag body 30.

The non-heating type flavor applicator 10 is configured to be in a thin state when carried, and to be formed into a cylindrical state at the time of use. Figs. 1 to 3 show a non-heating type flavor applicator 10 in a state before deformation in carrying, and Figs. 4 to 6 show a non-heating type flavor applicator 10 in a state after deformation in use.

Fig. 1 is a schematic view showing the overall configuration of the non-heating flavor applicator 10 before deformation. Figure 2 is a cross-sectional view of A-A shown in Figure 1, and Figure 3 is a first figure. The B-B profile shown. Fig. 4 is a schematic view showing the overall configuration of the non-heated flavor applicator 10 after deformation. Fig. 5 is a C-C sectional view shown in Fig. 4, and Fig. 6 is a D-D sectional view shown in Fig. 4.

The flavor generating source 20 is a powder or granule that generates a flavor component, and is not particularly limited. Specifically, for example, tobacco leaves can be used, and general filament tobacco used for cigarettes (rolled tobacco), granular tobacco used for nasal tobacco, rod-shaped tobacco, or tobacco raw materials such as formed tobacco can be used. Further, in addition to tobacco leaves, a flavor component such as menthol may be used.

The bag body 30 is internally provided with a flavor generating source 20. The bag body 30 is made of a material having air permeability and flexibility. The air permeability may be configured to pass through the air and to form the flavor component of the source 20 by the ingrown flavor. The flexibility can be deformed as long as the user holds the non-heating flavor absorber with a finger or the like. The bag body 30 of the present embodiment is composed of a nonwoven fabric having a basis weight of 25 g/m ² . Further, the bag body 30 may have air permeability and flexibility as described above, and a woven fabric or a porous sheet material may be used in addition to the nonwoven fabric.

The bag body 30 is formed, for example, by folding a sheet-like nonwoven fabric. Specifically, the flaky nonwoven fabric is folded by a fold line along the axial direction X of the non-heating type flavor absorbing device, and the ends of the flaky nonwoven fabric are thermally fused or joined to each other. A space between the layer non-woven fabrics for enclosing the flavor generating source 20 is formed.

The bag body 30 has a rectangular shape and has a first side 31 along the axial direction in the folded state and a second side 32 along the width direction of the vertical first side 31. The non-woven fabric in which the bag body 30 is overlapped in a folded state is joined to each other by the first side 31 and the second side 32, and the nonwoven fabrics are joined to each other. The fragrance generating source 20 can be enclosed by the bag body 30 thus constructed.

The user sucks air from the outside of the bag body 30 through the opening of the outer casing 40, and the flavor component contained in the flavor generating source 20 is sucked through the bag body 30. Therefore, the non-woven fabric constituting the bag body 30 is required to allow the user to easily absorb the air permeability of the bag and the fineness of the mesh in which the fragrance generating source 20 does not flow out.

The volume of the flavor generating source 20 enclosed in the bag body 30 is smaller than the volume of the bag body 30 (the volume of the flavor generating source 20 can be accommodated). In this way, the flavor generating source 20 is sealed in the bag body 30, whereby the flavor generating source 20 can be moved in the bag body 30. For example, the volume of the flavor generating source 20 enclosed in the bag body 30 is smaller than a predetermined volume smaller than the volume of the bag body 30. Further, as described above, the bag body 30 is made of a material having flexibility, and as will be described later, the exterior body 40 has deformable flexibility. Therefore, it is considered that the volume of the bag body 30 is enlarged by the deformation of the bag body 30 and the outer casing 40, and the flavor generating source 20 is easily moved in the bag body 30.

For example, if the volume of the flavor generating source 20 is slightly the same as the volume of the bag body 30, the flavor generating source 20 is difficult to move inside the bag body 30, and the bag body 30 is hard to be deformed. However, since the flavor generating source 20 is in a state of being movable in the bag body 30, the user can easily deform the shape of the bag body 30. The exterior body 40 is disposed so as to surround the bag body 30, and is configured to be deformable into a tubular shape. The exterior body 40 is folded in such a manner that one sheet of material surrounds the periphery of the bag body 30. The exterior body 40 has flexibility to be deformed into a cylindrical shape around the bag body 30. The flexibility may be deformed when the user holds the non-heating flavor absorber with a finger or the like. The exterior body 40 of the present embodiment is composed of paper having a basis weight of 65 g/m ² . Further, when the air permeability of the exterior body is too high, the air flows into the bag body from the periphery of the exterior body during the suction, and the amount of ventilation to the flavor generating source is reduced. Therefore, the exterior body 40 is not limited as long as it has the above-described flexibility, and has a low air permeability which does not hinder the flow of air to the flavor generation source, and a nonwoven fabric, a woven fabric, or a porous sheet can be used in addition to the paper.

The exterior body 40 is folded with the fold lines (the first fold line L1 and the second fold line L2) along one of the first sides 31 of the bag body 30 as a base point. In a state in which the outer casing 40 is folded at a folding line, a pair of opening portions 41 and 42 are formed at both end portions of the outer casing 40 in the axial direction. In the state in which the outer casing 40 is folded with the first folding line L1 and the second folding line L2 as a base point, a gap 43 is provided between the pair of opening portions 41 and 42. The gap 43 is formed between the intermediate field CA and the first folding field FA, which is located between the first folding line L1 and the second folding line FA2 of the package 40 outside the pre-folding state, the first folding field FA The first fold line L2 of the outer casing 40 is folded at the base point. The bag body 30 is accommodated in the air gap 43. Further, the bag body 30 is disposed in the exterior body 40 in a state in which it can be deformed in the exterior body 40.

One portion of the bag body 30 is partially engaged with one of the exterior bodies 40. In the first drawing or the like, the joint portion 50 in which one portion of the bag body 30 is partially joined to the outer casing 40 is shown. Both the exterior body 40 and the bag body 30 are flexible and can be configured to be appropriately deformed by a user. For example, when the outer casing 40 and the bag body 30 are not joined, the bag body 30 is detached from the outer casing 40, or the outer casing 40 is displaced from the position of the bag body 30, and the user cannot calmly absorb the aroma component. . However, by providing the joint portion 50, the bag body 30 can be prevented from falling off from the exterior body 40, and the positional deviation of the exterior body 40 and the bag body 30 can be suppressed, and the suction can be stably taken.

One portion of the bag body 30 is engaged with a portion of the outer casing 40 in the joint portion 50. As the bonding method of the joint portion, various joining methods such as heat sealing or an adhesive can be used. For example, in the case of the subsequent bonding method, when heat fusion is employed, there is an advantage that the manufacturing step can be simplified because no adhesive is used. On the other hand, when an adhesive such as carboxymethyl cellulose is used, fibers having no heat fusion properties can be used. The prime material is used as the bag body 30 or the outer casing 40, and has the advantage of high manufacturing suitability.

In the joint portion 50 of the present embodiment, the outer casing 40 is folded by the first fold line L1 and the outer casing 40 is joined by the second fold line L2 as a base point, and the outer casing is joined by heat fusion. 40 and the bag body 30. Specifically, the intermediate area CA of the outer casing 40 and the bag body 30 are joined, and the first folded area FA of the outer casing 40 and the bag body 30 are joined. The joint portion 50 is formed in a line shape extending in the width direction Y perpendicular to the axial direction X, and is provided at intervals in the axial direction X.

The joint portion 50 is positioned closer to the inner side in the axial direction than the second side 32 of the outer end portion in the axial direction of the bag body 30. For example, when the joint portion is located at the axial end portion of the bag body 30, even if it is deformed into a deformed state (cylindrical state) from the pre-deformed state (folded state), the two-layer non-woven fabric is formed in the axial end portion of the bag body 30. It does not separate and cannot be deformed into a cylindrical shape. However, since the joint portion is located on the inner side in the axial direction of the bag body 30 in the axial direction, the outer casing 40 and the bag body 30 can be deformed into a cylindrical shape.

(2) The use of non-heated flavor suction device

Next, the use form of the non-heating flavor applicator 10 thus constructed will be described. The non-heating type flavor applicator 10 is configured to be carried by the user in the state shown in Fig. 1 (folded state) and deformed to the state shown in Fig. 4 at the time of use. Specifically, for example, the user holds the first fold line L1 and the second fold line L2 of the package 40 in a folded state with a finger, and presses the exterior body 40 so as to approach the first fold line L1 and the second fold line L2. By pressing the exterior body 40 with a finger as described above, the exterior body 40 and the bag body 30 are deformed, and a gap 43 is formed between the intermediate area CA of the exterior body 40 and the first folding area FA of the exterior body 40. As described above, as shown in Fig. 6, the cross-sectional shape of the outer casing 40 and the bag body 30 is slightly rounded. Intermediate field CA of the outer body 40 The gap 43 between the first folded area FA of the outer casing 40 is an air passage through which air can pass.

At this time, the bag body 30 is joined to the intermediate area CA between the first folding line L1 and the second folding line L2 of the outer casing 40, and the first folding area FA between the first folding line L1 and the second folding line L2. Therefore, the bag body 30 is also deformed in accordance with the deformation of the intermediate field CA of the outer casing 40 and the first folding field FA. Therefore, the bag body 30 is disposed along the outer surface of the outer casing.

In a state in which the cross-sectional shape of the outer casing 40 and the bag body 30 is slightly circular, the opening of the user-incorporated body 40 (for example, the opening portion 41) takes in air as a suction port. Thereby, the air flows into the gap 43 of the outer casing from the opening portion on the other side (for example, the opening portion 42). Since the bag body 30 is joined to the outer surface of the outer casing through the surface joint portion 50, the air passing through the air gap 43 of the outer casing 40 passes through the bag body 30, and the fragrance generating source 20 disposed in the bag body 30 can be provided to the user. Contains the aroma components.

For example, if the bag body 30 is separated by the outer casing 40, the air passage inside the outer casing forms a passage through the bag body 30 and a passage through the bag body 30. The air passing through the passage of the bag body 30 can impart a flavor component to the user. However, the passage that does not pass through the bag body 30 does not impart a flavor component to the user. Therefore, the air passage inside the outer casing preferably increases the passage through the bag body 30 and reduces the passage through the bag body 30.

The passage that does not pass through the bag body 30 is formed in a portion where the inner surface of the outer casing 40 is separated from the bag body 30. Therefore, the joint portion 50 is provided in such a manner that the bag body 30 is disposed along the inner surface of the outer casing, whereby the passage through the bag body 30 can be reduced, and the passage through the bag body 30 in the air passage in the outer casing 40 can be improved. The proportion of the channel that contributes to the supply of aroma components.

Further, Fig. 7 is a view schematically showing the state shown in Fig. 5 after the user has tasted it. When the user sucks the air through the opening, the flavor generating source 20 in the bag body 30 is collected on the opening side which is the suction port. Fig. 7 shows a filling portion 33 filled with the flavor generating source 20 in a state where all the flavor generating sources 20 are collected on one end side of the bag body 30 in the axial direction. The filling portion 33 is a portion in which the user sucks air from the opening portion and fills the flavor generating source 20 in a state where all the flavor generating sources are collected on the opening side.

The filling portion 33 of the bag body 30 is joined to the exterior body 40. For example, even if the bag body 30 is joined to the exterior body 40, if there is a passage in the air passage in the axial direction in the bag body 30 that does not pass through the fragrance generating source 20, the fragrance component cannot be provided to the user. However, since the filling portion 33 is joined to the outer casing 40, the bag body 30 and the outer casing 40 are in close contact with each other, and the air passing through the bag body 30 passes through the flavor generating source 20 to impart a flavor component.

In the bag body 30 of the present embodiment, the flavor generating source 20 is disposed in a space formed between the two nonwoven fabrics, and two nonwoven fabrics are joined to the two sides of the pair. Therefore, the cross section shown in Fig. 5 is a U-shape which is tapered toward the opening side, and the cross-sectional area is reduced toward the opening side. Therefore, when the user takes in air from the opening, the flavor generating source 20 is collected on the front end side of the U-shape of the bag body. The bag body 30 is joined to the exterior body 40 by a joint portion provided on the upper side (the first end side of the exterior body 40) and the lower side (the intermediate portion side of the exterior body 40) shown in Fig. 5, and The joint portion is thinner toward the suction port side, and the cross-sectional shape of the bag body 30 is slightly U-shaped.

Further, when the joining means in which the filling portion and the outer casing 40 are joined is thermally fused, heat fusion is performed in a state of being collected on the opening side, whereby the flavor generating source 20 can be disposed at a position where heat fusion is performed. For example, if the bag 30 is in a hot melt position When the fragrance generating source 20 is not disposed inside, when the heat fusion is performed, the nonwoven fabrics constituting the bag body are joined to each other. However, by joining the filling portion provided in the bag body 30 to the outer casing 40, the joining of the nonwoven fabrics constituting the bag body 30 can be prevented.

In addition, the outer end portion of the bag body 30 in the axial direction is located further inward in the axial direction than the outer end portion (opening portions 41, 42) of the outer casing 40 in the axial direction. According to this configuration, since the opening portions 41 and 42 of the exterior body 40 are separated from the bag body 30, the user can prevent the user's mouth from directly contacting the bag body 30 when sucking.

(3) Modification of the joint portion

Next, a modification of the joint portion 50 that joins the outer casing to the bag body will be described. The joint portion 50 is not limited to the configuration of the above embodiment as long as one portion of the bag body 30 and one portion of the outer casing 40 are joined. For example, the joint portion of the embodiment is provided at two places with an interval in the axial direction, but it may be provided in only one place or three or more places. When the joint portion is one, it may be provided at the center of the bag body 30 in the axial direction, or may be provided at the center of the bag body 30 in the axial direction closer to the suction port side. For example, the joint portion is provided closer to the suction port side in the axial direction center of the bag body 30, whereby the concentrated portion of the flavor generation source 20 can be joined to the exterior body 40 at the time of suction, and the flavor component can be efficiently imparted. Further, by providing three or more joint portions at intervals in the axial direction, the outer body 40 can be continuously adhered to the bag body 30 in the axial direction.

In addition, Fig. 8 shows a non-heating type flavor applicator 10A according to a modification. Fig. 8(a) is a schematic perspective view of the non-heating type flavor extractor 10A, and Fig. 8(b) is a view showing a state after deformation of the section E-E of Fig. 8(a). The non-heating flavor applicator 10A shown in Fig. 8 is provided with a plurality of joint portions 50A extending in the axial direction X. The joint portions are provided at intervals in the circumferential direction of the exterior body 40.

The bag body 30 and the outer body 40 are separated by a plurality of intervals in the circumferential direction. Engage at the place. Since the joint portion in the circumferential direction is maintained between the adjacent joint portions, the substantially tight state around the entire circumference of the bag body 30 and the exterior body 40 can be achieved.

Further, the joint portion of the modified example is provided with a plurality of linear joint portions extending in the axial direction at intervals in the circumferential direction. For example, a plurality of dot joint portions may be provided at intervals in the circumferential direction, or may be spaced in the circumferential direction. A plurality of wavy joints are provided at intervals.

Further, the joint portion of the modified example is disposed along the axial direction, but may be disposed to be inclined with respect to the axial direction. It is also possible to provide a plurality of joint portions that are inclined in the axial direction, and are arranged such that the joint portions cross each other.

Further, the joint portion has a joint portion extending in the width direction and a joint portion extending in the axial direction, and the joint portions can be intersected. In addition, the joint portion may cover a whole surface of a certain area. However, the joint portion which is disposed at equal intervals in the line-like or dot-shaped joint portion at a distance from the planar joint portion can have an outer casing in a wider area than the joint portion by a small joint portion area. 40 is in close contact with the bag body 30.

Example

(4) Example

Next, an embodiment of a non-heating type flavoring applicator will be described.

(4-1) Making samples

The sample of the example and the sample of the comparative example were produced under the following conditions by the following methods.

(4-1-1) bag body

A non-woven fabric (HOP25H made of Hirose paper) was folded, and the bag body having a width of 12 mm in the width direction and a length of 55 mm in the axial direction was produced by heat fusion bonding as shown in Fig. 9(a).

(4-1-2) Source of aroma production

Adding 7% menthol powder to the tobacco leaves in tobacco leaves per unit weight The bag body was filled with 370 mg (Wet-base) for the source of the fragrance.

(4-1-3) Outer body

A single-area layer of paper (basis weight 65 g/m ² , PE laminate thickness 15 um) was used. The size of the paper is 38.5 mm in width x 60 mm in length. The pressure line is set in a manner divided into three equal parts.

(4-1-4) joint

In the sample of the embodiment, as shown in FIG. 9(b), after the bag body is provided on the exterior body, the upper and lower surfaces are thermally fused at a position of 10 mm from both end portions of the exterior body, and the outer body and the bag body are fixed. . At the time of heat fusion, the bag body itself is adjusted so that the inner surface is not joined, and the bag body directly under the heat-melting portion is filled with the flavor generating source, and is thermally fused. On the other hand, in the sample of the comparative example, the bag body was placed in the exterior body, and the bag body was only wrapped in the exterior body without heat fusion.

(4-1-5) folding shape

In order to evaluate the influence of the deformation of the non-heated flavor applicator used by the user, the samples of the above examples and the samples of the comparative examples were produced under the conditions A and B of the folded state. The sample of Condition A was obtained by folding the exterior body and the bag body in the above manner. The sample of Condition B was folded once again with the sample of Condition A as a base line along the axis line in the axial direction, and then the shape was restored.

(4-2) Implementation method

In order to verify the effect of the flavor stabilization, the measuring device 100 shown in Fig. 9(c) was used. The measuring device measures the amount of menthol delivered to the user by the non-heating flavor extractor 10 when the user picks up the non-heating flavor extractor 10.

Specifically, the measuring device 100 is provided with an air collector 101 containing 20 mL of ethanol. Specifically, the use of Muxia Physical and Chemical Industry Co., Ltd. in the air collector 101 Wood-type gas absorption washing bottle (standard type 50mL) made by the company. The air collector 101 has filter particles (100 to 200 μm) therein, and has a suction tube 102 and a delivery tube 103 which are respectively led out from the inside.

The suction tube 102 is configured to be connected to the non-heating type flavor extractor 10 to be verified. The delivery pipe 103 is connected to the suction pump 106 via a solenoid valve 104 and a mass flow controller (MFC) 105. Further, the solenoid valve 104 is electrically connected to the valve controller (VC) 107. The valve controller 107 controls the opening and closing operation of the solenoid valve 104.

The opening and closing operation is performed by the valve controller 107, whereby the solenoid valve 104 is operated to connect the suction pump 106 and the air collector 101, and to release the air collector 101 to the atmosphere. Specifically, after the suction pump 106 is connected to the air collector 101 for 4 seconds, the air collector 101 is released to the atmosphere for 11 seconds, and the suction cycle is repeated as a 1 cycle. In addition, the flow rate of the mass flow controller 105 is set to 3300 cc/min.

The non-heating type flavor extractor 10 to be verified is a sample of an example in which a bag body is joined to an exterior body, and a comparative sample in which the bag body is not joined to the exterior body.

After the suction tube 102 of the air collector 101 is connected to one sample of the non-heated flavor absorber, the above-mentioned suction cycle is repeated 10 times in an environment of room temperature 22 ° C and a humidity of 60%, and the mint is sent out from the tobacco product. The alcohol is collected in ethanol in the air collector 101.

Thereafter, the ethanol from which menthol is collected is taken out by the air collector 101, and the extracted ethanol is analyzed by a gas chromatography mass spectrometer, and the release of menthol in the suction cycle of the non-heated flavor absorbing device is measured once per time. The amount.

Further, the above-described collection and analysis measurement is repeated until the total absorption cycle reaches a predetermined number of times (three times), thereby completing the measurement flow for one non-heating type flavor extractor.

(4-3) Actual results

The results are shown in Figure 10.

Among the conditions A and B, the sample of the examples had more menthol released than the comparative samples. In the condition A, the sample of the comparative example in which the bag body was not joined to the outer casing was caused to have an irregular inclination of the flavor generating source in the bag, and it was considered that the release of the flavor component became unstable. On the other hand, in the sample of the example in which the bag body was joined to the exterior body, the bag body was placed along the exterior body, and the irregular inclination of the flavor generating source in the bag body was lowered, and it was considered that the release of the flavor component was stabilized.

Further, in Condition B, the release amounts of the sample of the example and the comparative example were all lowered, but the reduction rate with respect to the sample of the example was about 10%, and the reduction rate of the sample of the comparative example was more than half. As a result of the above, it is understood that the stabilization of the flavor component can be achieved by providing the joint portion particularly in the case of folding deformation.

(5) Function and effect

As described above, the non-heating type flavor applicator according to the present embodiment is configured to be deformable into a tightly folded state and a cylindrical state, so that it can be folded into a thin shape when carried, and the portability can be improved.

In addition, in recent years, it has been demanded to improve the portability and the ease of inclusion, so that the nozzle or the handle can be deformed into a preferred form. The user can freely deform the outer casing and the bag body of the embodiment according to the preference, so that the user's feeling of squat can be improved.

Furthermore, the bag body and the exterior system are joined in the joint portion, so The outer body is deformed to deform the bag body, and the outer body and the bag body can be substantially adhered to each other at the joint portion. Therefore, in the air passage in the outer body, the passage that does not pass through the bag body can be reduced, and the passage through the bag body can be increased. Therefore, in the configuration in which the bag body is not filled with the flavor generating source, the proportion of the air contacting the flavor generating source is increased, and the supply of the stable flavor component can be realized.

Since the filling portion of the bag body is joined to the outer casing, the air passing through the bag body is easily contacted with the flavor generating source during the suction, and the stable flavor component can be supplied to the user.

The bag body and the exterior system are joined to the inner side of the outer side of the bag body in the axial direction of the outer side of the outer body, so that the outer side of the outer body and the bag body can be individually deformed, and the outer body and the bag body can be deformed. It is cylindrical.

Since the bag body and the exterior system are joined to each other at a plurality of intervals in the axial direction of the outer casing, the outer casing can be brought close to the bag body in the field between the joint portions in the axial direction, and leakage of the flavor component can be suppressed.

Further, the joint portion 50 is provided between the first fold line L1 and the second fold line L2, and is separated by the first fold line L1 and the second fold line L2, and the bag system is joined to the outer casing at a position separated from the fold line of the outer body. . The first fold line and the second fold line are portions that the user presses with a finger or the like during deformation, and the bag body and the first fold line and the second fold line of the outer body are sealed when deformed. On the other hand, between the first fold line and the second fold line of the exterior body, it is deformed into an arc shape or the like during deformation, and is easily separated from the bag body during deformation. Therefore, the joint portion is separated from the first fold line and the second fold line, whereby the joint portion can be provided at a portion where the bag body and the outer body are easily separated at the time of deformation, and the joint of the bag body and the outer body can be enlarged as a whole. area.

(6) Other embodiments

The non-heating flavor absorbing device of the present embodiment is configured to be provided to the user in a state in which the bag body and the outer casing are integrated, but the non-heating flavor absorbing device of the present invention is not limited to the Composition. For example, the bag body and the outer body may be separately provided to the user, and the user may be integrated with the outer body by using the joint portion provided between the bag body and the outer body. It is constituted by the way.

Further, the bag body is not limited to the above configuration, and various configurations can be employed. For example, it may not be folded at a fold line along the axial direction, but may be folded in the axial direction with the fold line along the width direction as a base point, and joined to form a bag body at the second side along the axial direction. According to the bag body 30 as described above, the cross-sectional shape shown in Fig. 7 is formed into a circular arc shape that protrudes toward the opening.

The outer circumference of the bag body 30 and the inner circumference of the outer casing 40 are preferably the same length. For example, when the outer circumference of the bag body 30 is too long compared to the inner circumference of the outer casing 40, even if a part of the bag body 30 is adhered to the outer casing 40, the bag body 30 is separated by the outer casing 40 to form a curved portion. Therefore, the entire circumference of the bag body 30 is not adhered to the exterior body 40. On the other hand, if the outer circumference of the bag body 30 is too short compared to the inner circumference of the outer casing 40, a gap is formed between the outer casing 40 and the bag body 30, and the bag body is not disposed along the inner surface of the outer casing 40. 30. However, by making the outer circumference of the bag body 30 and the inner circumference of the outer casing 40 the same length, the entire outer circumference of the bag body 30 can be adhered to the entire inner circumference of the outer casing 40.

In addition, the entire contents of the Japanese Patent Application No. 2012-172758 (filed on August 3, 2012) are incorporated herein by reference.
