Description

具有衛生護罩之個人護理物品  Personal care items with sanitary shields  

本發明係關於一種用於包含個人護理物品之包裝。 The present invention is directed to a package for containing a personal care item.

個人護理物品(諸如,面巾紙、預濕潤濕巾、女性護理產品及其類似者)係以多種包裝格式來包裝及銷售。一種已知的格式係個別物品之包裝,其中個別包裝彼此互連。通常,此類產品包含一串包裝、多包包裝或一袋包裝,其各自填充有產品且藉由穿孔線彼此分離。該等穿孔允許使用者藉由撕裂每一包裝之間的包裝薄膜中的穿孔來分離所要數目個包裝。例示性包裝係描述於美國專利第3,485,349號中,該專利揭示沿由諸如穿孔之薄弱線界定的撕裂線彼此連續地串疊連接之個別封包。 Personal care items such as facial tissues, pre-wet wipes, feminine care products, and the like are packaged and sold in a variety of packaging formats. One known format is a package of individual items in which individual packages are interconnected. Typically, such products comprise a series of packages, a multi-pack or a bag, each of which is filled with a product and separated from each other by a perforation line. The perforations allow the user to separate the desired number of packages by tearing the perforations in the packaging film between each package. An exemplary package is described in U.S. Pat.

雖然此包裝通常允許使用者選擇所要數目個個別包裝,但個別包裝上通常必須設有單獨開口機構以允許使用者打開個別包裝並獲取其內含物。為此目的,此等包裝已使用凸片、撕裂帶或凹槽,其有助於使用者打開包裝並獲取其內含物。此等開口通常限於沿包裝之僅一個維度獲取內含物。此可限制使用者可獲取內含物之容易性以及使用者可在使用之後將內含物重新插入包裝中以棄置的容易性。 While this package typically allows the user to select the desired number of individual packages, individual packages typically must be provided with separate opening mechanisms to allow the user to open individual packages and obtain their contents. For this purpose, such packages have used tabs, tear strips or grooves that assist the user in opening the package and obtaining its contents. Such openings are generally limited to obtaining inclusions in only one dimension of the package. This can limit the ease with which the user can obtain the contents and the ease with which the user can reinsert the contents into the package after use.

另外,因為先前技術包裝通常僅沿包裝之一個維度打開,所以內含物必須在使用之前完全分配。因此,包裝無法容易地 用以處置產品或用於產品在使用之後的儲存。因此,所需要的是一種為了容易分配及使用後之儲存而允許使用者沿多個維度打開包裝,且亦允許包裝在使用中用作阻障之改良包裝格式。 In addition, because prior art packages typically only open in one dimension of the package, the contents must be fully dispensed prior to use. Therefore, the package cannot be easily used to dispose of the product or for storage of the product after use. What is needed, therefore, is an improved packaging format that allows a user to open a package in multiple dimensions for ease of dispensing and storage after use, and also allows the package to be used as a barrier in use.

本發明提供一種用於包含個人護理物品且更佳地包含薄紙或紙片材料(諸如,面巾紙、預濕潤濕巾及其類似者)之包裝。個人護理物品附接至包裝,使得該物品在使用中由該包裝保留。藉由在使用中保留物品,包裝可用作護罩,諸如在擦拭時使用者與所附接薄紙紙張之間的阻障。另外,保留物品使物品在使用之後易於棄置在包裝內。 The present invention provides a package for containing a personal care article and more preferably a tissue or paper sheet material such as a facial tissue, a pre-wet wipe, and the like. The personal care item is attached to the package such that the item is retained by the package in use. By retaining the item in use, the package can be used as a shield, such as a barrier between the user and the attached tissue paper during wiping. In addition, retaining the item makes it easy to dispose of the item in the package after use.

該包裝包含第一壁及第二壁,該第一壁及該第二壁在 結合區中被結合在一起,該等結合區實質上圍繞隔室部分,個人護理物品可被設置於該隔室部分內。該包裝進一步包含沿一第一軸線延伸之一第一撕裂導引件及沿一第二軸線延伸之一第二撕裂導引件,其中該第一軸線與該第二軸線相交。藉由沿第一撕裂導引件及第二撕裂導引件撕裂包裝,使用者可沿該包裝之兩個維度打開該包裝,從而改良對該個人護理物品之獲取。該等撕裂導引件通常係薄弱線,其可包含不連續的一系列切口(諸如,圓點或短劃線)且可藉由諸如切割、雷射蝕刻、機械刻痕或穿孔之任何合適方法形成。應理解,第一撕裂導引件及第二撕裂導引件無需皆由同一方法形成,且可在切口之相對深度及長度方面不同。在一個具體例中,撕裂導引件係由不連續的一系列切口形成,該等切口具有小於第一壁材料或第二壁材料之厚度的深度。在尤其較佳之具體例中,撕裂導引件中之至少一者至少部分地疊置在包裝之隔室部分上。 The package includes a first wall and a second wall joined together in a bonding zone, the bonding zones substantially surrounding the compartment portion, and the personal care item can be disposed in the compartment Part of it. The package further includes a first tear guide extending along a first axis and a second tear guide extending along a second axis, wherein the first axis intersects the second axis. By tearing the package along the first tear guide and the second tear guide, the user can open the package in two dimensions of the package to improve access to the personal care item. The tear guides are typically lines of weakness, which may comprise a series of discrete cuts (such as dots or dashes) and may be by any suitable means such as cutting, laser etching, mechanical scoring or perforation. The method is formed. It should be understood that the first tear guide and the second tear guide need not all be formed by the same method and may differ in the relative depth and length of the slit. In one embodiment, the tear guide is formed from a series of discrete cuts having a depth that is less than the thickness of the first wall material or the second wall material. In a particularly preferred embodiment, at least one of the tear guides is at least partially superposed on the compartment portion of the package.

該包裝可進一步包含設置於密封區內且在第三軸線上延伸之撕裂起始薄弱部(其中第一撕裂導引件及第二撕裂導引件在第一軸線及第二軸線上延伸)。該撕裂起始薄弱部可藉由諸如切割、雷射蝕刻、機械刻痕或穿孔之任何合適方法形成。該薄弱部可形成於包裝之一個或兩個壁中。正如撕裂導引件可藉由不同方法形成且就其各別切口之維度而言可不同,撕裂起始薄弱部可藉由不同方法形成且可不同於撕裂導引件。舉例而言,撕裂起始薄弱部弱於(較易於沿著撕裂或實際上已分離)撕裂導引薄弱部可係較佳的。在一個尤其較佳之具體中,撕裂起始薄弱部可藉由穿過第一壁及第二壁兩者之切口形成,而撕裂導引薄弱部係藉由僅延伸穿過第一壁之一部分的雷射蝕刻形成。 The package may further include a tear initiation weakener disposed in the sealing region and extending on the third axis (where the first tear guide and the second tear guide are on the first axis and the second axis) extend). The tear initiation weakness can be formed by any suitable method such as cutting, laser etching, mechanical scoring or perforation. The weakened portion can be formed in one or both walls of the package. Just as the tear guides can be formed by different methods and differ in the dimensions of their respective slits, the tear initiation weakness can be formed by different methods and can be different than the tear guide. For example, it may be preferred that the tear initiation weakness is weaker (relatively easier to tear along or actually separated) to tear the guide weakness. In a particularly preferred embodiment, the tear initiation weakness can be formed by a slit through both the first wall and the second wall, and the tear guiding weakness is by extending only through the first wall A portion of the laser etch is formed.

通常,第一壁及第二壁係以面向關係配置,且沿其各別周邊邊緣之至少一部分密封至彼此以形成具有隔室之包裝。合適的結合方法包括黏著性結合、熱結合、超音波結合、壓力結合或其類似者。在其他具體例中,前壁及後壁係圍繞其各別周邊之一部分而結合至彼此,但在其周邊之其他部分中彼此一體地連接,諸如在第一壁及第二壁係由同一膜片形成且該膜摺疊於其自身上以產生夾層時。該包裝可沿其整個周邊被密封或可僅沿其周邊之一部分被密封。在隔室內,第一壁及第二壁並不結合在一起,因此壁及密封協作以圍封隔室,個人護理物品可儲存於該隔室內。 Typically, the first wall and the second wall are configured in a facing relationship and are sealed to each other along at least a portion of their respective peripheral edges to form a package having compartments. Suitable bonding methods include adhesive bonding, thermal bonding, ultrasonic bonding, pressure bonding, or the like. In other embodiments, the front and rear walls are joined to each other around a portion of their respective perimeter, but are integrally joined to one another in other portions of their perimeter, such as by the same membrane in the first wall and the second wall The sheet is formed and the film is folded over on itself to create an interlayer. The package may be sealed along its entire perimeter or may be sealed only along one of its perimeters. Within the compartment, the first wall and the second wall are not joined together such that the wall and seal cooperate to enclose the compartment and the personal care item can be stored in the compartment.

設置於隔室內之個人護理物品較佳為包含纖維素材料(諸如,薄紙或紙片)或合成材料(諸如,非編織紙張或塑膠薄膜)之紙張。更佳地,個人護理物品為已摺疊以適配於隔室內且附接至包裝之至少一個壁的薄紙紙張材料。該紙張可以固定方式附接至包裝或可以可移除方式附接。本文中所使用之「以固定方式附接」係指個人護理物品至包裝之永久性附接。本文中所使用之「以可移除方式附接」係指個人護理物品至包裝之暫時性附接。 The personal care article disposed within the compartment is preferably a paper comprising a cellulosic material (such as tissue or paper) or a synthetic material (such as a non-woven paper or plastic film). More preferably, the personal care item is a tissue paper material that has been folded to fit within the compartment and attached to at least one wall of the package. The paper may be attached to the package in a fixed manner or may be removably attached. As used herein, "attached in a fixed manner" refers to the permanent attachment of a personal care item to a package. As used herein, "removably attached" refers to the temporary attachment of a personal care item to a package.

個人護理物品可使用任何多種附接構件(諸如,黏著劑或機械附接件)來附接至包裝。在尤其較佳之具體例中,附接構件係黏著劑。任何合適的黏著劑可將個人護理物品黏附至包裝且維持附接直至個人護理物品被分配之後。特定而言,合適黏著劑包括熱熔或感壓黏著劑。合適的市售黏著劑之實例包括(但不限於)皆購自Bostik公司(Wauwatosa,WI)的Bostik HMY-1505、Bostik H1714、Bostik L1232及Bostik L7195。 The personal care article can be attached to the package using any of a variety of attachment members, such as adhesives or mechanical attachments. In a particularly preferred embodiment, the attachment member is an adhesive. Any suitable adhesive can adhere the personal care item to the package and maintain attachment until the personal care item is dispensed. In particular, suitable adhesives include hot melt or pressure sensitive adhesives. Examples of suitable commercially available adhesives include, but are not limited to, Bostik HMY-1505, Bostik H1714, Bostik L1232, and Bostik L7195, all available from Bostik Corporation (Wauwatosa, WI).

用以將個人護理物品附接至包裝之黏著劑的量亦可 取決於各種因素而變化,該等因素包括所使用黏著材料之類型以及包裝與個人護理物品之間的所要結合程度。舉例而言,黏著材料可以如下量存在:約0.5公克或以下,更具體而言約0.1公克或以下,更具體而言約0.05公克或以下,且仍更具體而言約0.01公克至約0.04公克。 The amount of adhesive used to attach the personal care article to the package may also vary depending on various factors including the type of adhesive material used and the desired degree of bonding between the package and the personal care article. For example, the adhesive material can be present in an amount of about 0.5 grams or less, more specifically about 0.1 grams or less, more specifically about 0.05 grams or less, and still more specifically about 0.01 grams to about 0.04 grams. .

黏著劑可以數個不同圖案而塗覆。舉例而言,在一具體例中,黏著劑經塗覆為一離散圓點。在另一具體例中,黏著劑經塗覆為兩個或大於兩個離散圓點。在另外其他具體例中,黏著劑經塗覆為連續或非連續線,其可為線性或非線性的。在黏著劑經塗覆為連續或非連續線之情況下,黏著劑可沿個人護理物品之兩個不同邊緣而塗覆。 The adhesive can be applied in several different patterns. For example, in one embodiment, the adhesive is applied as a discrete dot. In another embodiment, the adhesive is applied as two or more than two discrete dots. In still other embodiments, the adhesive is coated as a continuous or discontinuous line, which may be linear or non-linear. Where the adhesive is applied as a continuous or discontinuous line, the adhesive can be applied along two different edges of the personal care article.

另外,黏著劑可經添加至隔室或個人護理物品之任何部分。在一尤其較佳之具體例中,黏著劑係作為與第一撕裂導引件軸線及第二撕裂導引件軸線相交所在之點對置的離散圓點而塗覆至隔室。在另外其他具體例中,黏著劑係沿個人護理物品之一部分(諸如,物品之周邊)以不連續方式塗覆。在尤其較佳之具體例中,黏著劑經塗覆至物品之周邊之部分,使得在物品設置於隔室中時,物品沿平行於第一或第二撕裂導引件軸線之軸線以黏著方式附接至包裝之壁。 Additionally, the adhesive can be added to any part of the compartment or personal care item. In a particularly preferred embodiment, the adhesive is applied to the compartment as discrete dots opposite the point at which the first tear guide axis and the second tear guide axis intersect. In still other embodiments, the adhesive is applied in a discontinuous manner along a portion of the personal care article, such as the periphery of the article. In a particularly preferred embodiment, the adhesive is applied to a portion of the periphery of the article such that when the article is disposed in the compartment, the article is adhered along an axis parallel to the axis of the first or second tear guide Attached to the wall of the package.

在個人護理物品為摺疊式薄紙紙張之情況下,附接構件不阻止薄紙紙張展開及自包裝分配通常係較佳的。舉例而言,其中摺疊式薄紙紙張可藉由設置於紙張與前壁或後壁之間的感壓黏著劑來附接至包裝,且其中黏著劑並不將薄紙紙張之任何部分黏附至其自身。以此方式,黏著劑在使用中將薄紙紙張附接及保留至包 裝,但並不禁止薄紙紙張展開至其全大小且被使用。另外,為最大化可分配以供使用之薄紙產品的量,可能需要將黏著劑設置於包裝開口遠端。 In the case where the personal care item is a folded tissue paper, it is generally preferred that the attachment member does not prevent the tissue paper from unfolding and self-packaging. For example, wherein the folded tissue paper can be attached to the package by a pressure sensitive adhesive disposed between the paper and the front or back wall, and wherein the adhesive does not adhere any portion of the tissue paper to itself . In this manner, the adhesive attaches and retains the tissue paper to the package in use, but does not prohibit the tissue paper from unfolding to its full size and being used. Additionally, to maximize the amount of tissue product that can be dispensed for use, it may be desirable to place the adhesive at the distal end of the package opening.

合適地,在商業設定中,黏著劑可在用以將個人護理物品置放於包裝中之程序中塗覆至該物品。在一具體例中,黏著劑可恰好在個人護理物品經傳送至包裝中之前塗覆至包裝之隔室部分的內部。在某些具體例中,黏著劑可經塗覆至包裝之一個壁,個人護理物品可設置於黏著劑上方,第二壁可被引入以將個人護理物品包夾於第一壁與第二壁之間且使產品接觸黏著劑。在其他具體例中,黏著劑可經塗覆至個人護理物品,之後將產品引入至包裝隔室。 Suitably, in a commercial setting, the adhesive can be applied to the article in a procedure for placing the personal care article in the package. In one embodiment, the adhesive can be applied to the interior of the compartment portion of the package just prior to delivery of the personal care article into the package. In some embodiments, the adhesive can be applied to one wall of the package, the personal care item can be disposed over the adhesive, and the second wall can be introduced to sandwich the personal care item to the first and second walls. And make the product contact with the adhesive. In other embodiments, the adhesive can be applied to a personal care item before the product is introduced into the packaging compartment.

該包裝可以任何數目個不同形狀形成,諸如實質上矩形、三角形或圓形。在尤其較佳之具體例中,包裝係實質上矩形,其具有寬度維度及垂直於其之縱向維度。在包裝係實質上矩形之彼等具體例中,如下情形可係較佳的:包裝上設有在包裝之寬度維度上延伸且實質上平行於包裝之頂部邊緣的第一撕裂導引件及在包裝之縱向維度上延伸且實質上平行於包裝之側邊緣的第二撕裂導引件。 The package can be formed in any number of different shapes, such as substantially rectangular, triangular or circular. In a particularly preferred embodiment, the package is substantially rectangular having a width dimension and a longitudinal dimension perpendicular thereto. In particular embodiments in which the package is substantially rectangular, it may be preferred that the package is provided with a first tear guide extending in the width dimension of the package and substantially parallel to the top edge of the package and A second tear guide extending in the longitudinal dimension of the package and substantially parallel to the side edges of the package.

雖然在前述具體例中,第一撕裂導引件及第二撕裂導引件通常沿垂直軸線延伸,但本發明不限於此。通常,待沿兩個維度至少部分地打開之包裝所需的全部係第一撕裂導引件及第二撕裂導引件沿彼此相交之軸線延伸。另外,在各種具體例中,一撕裂導引件或兩個導引件可沿其相聯結軸線延伸,直至隔室之近邊緣到達,隔室之遠邊緣到達或包裝之邊緣到達。另外,一撕裂導引件或兩個導引件完全在隔室區內或在密封區與隔室區之間延伸。 Although in the foregoing specific examples, the first tear guide and the second tear guide generally extend along a vertical axis, the invention is not limited thereto. Typically, all of the first tear guide and the second tear guide required for the package to be at least partially opened in two dimensions extend along an axis that intersects each other. Additionally, in various embodiments, a tear guide or two guide members can extend along their associated axes until the proximal edge of the compartment reaches, the distal edge of the compartment reaching or the edge of the package. Additionally, a tear guide or two guide members extend completely within the compartment region or between the seal region and the compartment region.

較佳地,第一撕裂導引件及第二撕裂導引件係配置為彼此接近,使得當使用者沿第一撕裂導引件起始撕裂時,撕裂被傳播至第二撕裂導引件且撕裂沿第二撕裂導引件繼續以至少部分地沿其兩個維度打開包裝。為實現以此方式打開包裝,可較佳的係第一撕裂導引件與第二撕裂導引件彼此相交,然而其並非必要的。然而,較佳的係包裝僅沿其兩個維度至少部分地打開,且包裝之至少一部分保持未打開以有助於對個人護理物品之處置及其在使用之後的棄置。舉例而言,在較佳具體例中,矩形包裝被提供,其僅具有第一撕裂導引件及第二撕裂導引件,其中第一撕裂導引件在包裝之寬度維度上延伸且第二撕裂導引件在包裝之縱向維度上延伸。 Preferably, the first tearing guide and the second tearing guide are configured to be close to each other such that when the user begins to tear along the first tearing guide, the tear is propagated to the second The tear guide is torn and the tear continues along the second tear guide to open the package at least partially along its two dimensions. In order to open the package in this manner, it is preferred that the first tear guide and the second tear guide intersect each other, although it is not necessary. However, preferred tethered packages are only at least partially open in their two dimensions, and at least a portion of the package remains unopened to facilitate disposal of the personal care article and its disposal after use. For example, in a preferred embodiment, a rectangular package is provided having only a first tear guide and a second tear guide, wherein the first tear guide extends in the width dimension of the package And the second tear guide extends in the longitudinal dimension of the package.

通常,第一撕裂導引件及第二撕裂導引件將為直線形的,然而,本發明不限於此。撕裂導引件可能並非直線形的,且可經塑形以沿特定線導引撕裂以確保產生特定開口。舉例而言,第一撕裂導引件及第二撕裂導引件可為曲線形的,以便在包裝被使用者撕裂打開時提供半圓形開口。 Generally, the first tear guide and the second tear guide will be rectilinear, however, the invention is not limited thereto. The tear guide may not be rectilinear and may be shaped to guide the tear along a particular line to ensure that a particular opening is created. For example, the first tear guide and the second tear guide can be curved to provide a semi-circular opening when the package is torn open by a user.

現參考圖1,包裝10係實質上矩形,其具有通常在包裝之寬度維度上延伸的頂部邊緣12及底部邊緣16,以及在包裝之縱向方向上延伸的一對對置側面14、18。包裝10包含前壁11及後壁(未說明),該等壁呈彼此面向之配置且沿其周邊邊緣密封以形成經密封周邊邊緣20。該等經密封邊緣界定包裝內之用於收納個人護理物品的隔室60(由短劃線說明)。 Referring now to Figure 1, the package 10 is substantially rectangular having a top edge 12 and a bottom edge 16 that generally extend in the width dimension of the package, and a pair of opposed sides 14, 18 extending in the longitudinal direction of the package. The package 10 includes a front wall 11 and a rear wall (not illustrated) that are disposed facing each other and sealed along their peripheral edges to form a sealed peripheral edge 20. The sealed edges define compartments 60 (illustrated by dashed lines) within the package for receiving personal care items.

包裝10進一步包含第一撕裂導引件24及第二撕裂導引件26。該等撕裂導引件通常為適合於允許使用者打開包裝從而獲取儲存於其中之個人護理物品的薄弱線。如圖1中所展示,在一個 具體例中,第一撕裂導引件24及第二撕裂導引件26至少部分地疊置在包裝之隔室60上。另外,雖然第一撕裂導引件24及第二撕裂導引件26疊置在隔室60上,但其並不疊置在設置於包裝10內之物品上。然而,在其他具體例中,一個或兩個撕裂導引件疊置在隔室及其中所包含之物品兩者上可係合乎需要的。使一個或兩個撕裂導引件疊置在物品上之一個合乎需要的效應係:在包裝沿撕裂導引件被撕裂時,物品之邊緣有可能被暴露以便自包裝容易地抓取及移除。 The package 10 further includes a first tear guide 24 and a second tear guide 26. The tear guides are generally a line of weakness suitable for allowing a user to open the package to obtain a personal care item stored therein. As shown in Figure 1, in one embodiment, the first tear guide 24 and the second tear guide 26 are at least partially superposed on the compartment 60 of the package. In addition, although the first tear guide 24 and the second tear guide 26 are stacked on the compartment 60, they are not stacked on the articles disposed in the package 10. However, in other embodiments, it may be desirable to have one or both tear guides stacked over the compartment and the articles contained therein. A desirable effect of stacking one or both tear guides on the article: when the package is torn along the tear guide, the edges of the article may be exposed for easy picking from the package And removed.

在特定具體例中,每一撕裂導引件延伸跨越隔室之寬度或縱向維度的至少50%,且更佳地,至少約75%,且再更佳地,至少約95%。舉例而言,參考圖1,第一撕裂導引件24延伸跨越隔室60之寬度的約95%,且第二撕裂導引件26延伸跨越隔室60之縱向維度的約95%。如圖1中進一步所說明,第一撕裂導引件24沿實質上平行於頂部邊緣12之第一軸線延伸,而第二撕裂導引件26沿實質上平行於側邊緣14之第二軸線延伸。第一軸線與第二軸線以實質上直角彼此相交。 In a particular embodiment, each tear guide extends across at least 50%, and more preferably at least about 75%, and even more preferably, at least about 95% of the width or longitudinal dimension of the compartment. For example, referring to FIG. 1, first tear guide 24 extends about 95% of the width of compartment 60, and second tear guide 26 extends about 95% of the longitudinal dimension of compartment 60. As further illustrated in FIG. 1, the first tear guide 24 extends along a first axis that is substantially parallel to the top edge 12, while the second tear guide 26 follows a second substantially parallel to the side edge 14. The axis extends. The first axis intersects the second axis at substantially right angles.

如先前所提到,每一撕裂導引件24、26可設置於前壁11上,且可包含諸如圓點或短劃線之不連續的一系列切口,該等切口具有小於形成前壁11之材料之厚度的深度。在其他具體例中,每一撕裂導引件可包含連續刻痕線,其具有小於可撓性包裝材料之厚度的深度。將深度小於可撓性包裝材料之厚度的切口或刻痕線用於撕裂導引件在特定具體例中係合乎需要的,此係因為包裝之隔室保持不受外部環境影響。此在某些應用(諸如,使面巾紙免於外部污染,或防止預濕潤濕巾之潤濕溶液蒸發)中至關重要。舉例 而言,若形成任何撕裂導引件之圓點或短劃線充分穿透壁材料之厚度,則隔室之不受影響性質將受損。 As mentioned previously, each tear guide 24, 26 can be disposed on the front wall 11 and can comprise a series of discontinuities such as dots or dashes that have a smaller than the front wall. The depth of the thickness of the material of 11. In other embodiments, each tear guide can comprise a continuous score line having a depth that is less than the thickness of the flexible packaging material. The use of slits or score lines having a depth less than the thickness of the flexible packaging material for the tear guide is desirable in certain embodiments because the compartment of the package remains unaffected by the external environment. This is critical in certain applications, such as protecting the facial tissue from external contamination, or preventing evaporation of the wetting solution of the pre-wet wipe. For example, if the dots or dashes forming any tear guides sufficiently penetrate the thickness of the wall material, the unaffected properties of the compartments will be impaired.

在某些具體例中,包裝10上可設有撕裂起始薄弱部22,其可沿上部邊緣12設置且可橫越密封區域20之一部分。通常,撕裂起始薄弱部22沿第三軸線延伸,其中第一撕裂導引件24及第二撕裂導引件26分別沿第一軸線及第二軸線延伸。如圖1中所說明,撕裂起始薄弱部22可沿與第一軸線相交之第三軸線延伸。以此方式,使用者可藉由以下步驟來起始包裝打開:在第三軸線之方向上撕裂該撕裂起始薄弱部,最終與第一撕裂導引件24相交且繼續在第一軸線之方向上打開包裝。 In some embodiments, the package 10 can be provided with a tear initiation weakness 22 that can be disposed along the upper edge 12 and can traverse a portion of the sealing region 20. Typically, the tear initiation weakness 22 extends along a third axis, wherein the first tear guide 24 and the second tear guide 26 extend along the first axis and the second axis, respectively. As illustrated in Figure 1, the tear initiation weakness 22 can extend along a third axis that intersects the first axis. In this manner, the user can initiate the package opening by tearing the tear initiation weakness in the direction of the third axis, eventually intersecting the first tear guide 24 and continuing at the first Open the package in the direction of the axis.

在尤其較佳之具體例中,撕裂起始薄弱部22自包裝之頂部邊緣12沿相對於第一撕裂導引件延伸所沿之軸線以大約90度定向的軸線延伸。在此等具體例中,第一撕裂導引件24沿實質上平行於頂部邊緣12之第一軸線延伸,且第二撕裂導引件26沿實質上平行於側邊緣14之第二軸線延伸。以此方式,第一軸線及第二軸線通常經配置使得其彼此相交以形成直角。 In a particularly preferred embodiment, the tear initiation weakness 22 extends from the top edge 12 of the package along an axis oriented about 90 degrees with respect to the axis along which the first tear guide extends. In these particular examples, the first tear guide 24 extends along a first axis that is substantially parallel to the top edge 12, and the second tear guide 26 is along a second axis that is substantially parallel to the side edge 14. extend. In this manner, the first axis and the second axis are generally configured such that they intersect each other to form a right angle.

個人護理物品藉由黏著劑70附接至前壁11。如圖1中所說明,黏著劑70係設置為離散圓點且在通常與第一撕裂導引件軸線及第二撕裂導引件軸線之相交處間隔開的點處將薄紙紙張62附接至壁11。雖然附接點係以單一離散圓點做說明,但如上文所論述,本發明不限於此。在其他具體例中,黏著劑可塗覆為連續或非連續線,或可塗覆為大於一個離散圓點。 The personal care item is attached to the front wall 11 by an adhesive 70. As illustrated in Figure 1, the adhesive 70 is disposed as discrete dots and attached to the tissue paper 62 at a point generally spaced from the intersection of the first tear guide axis and the second tear guide axis. Connected to wall 11. Although the attachment points are illustrated by a single discrete dot, as discussed above, the invention is not limited thereto. In other embodiments, the adhesive may be applied as a continuous or discontinuous line, or may be coated as more than one discrete dot.

個人護理物品之前述個別包裝可與其他類似包裝接合以形成一串、多包或一袋包裝。舉例而言,複數個包裝可沿周邊 邊緣彼此接合,且分離薄弱線可設置於個別包裝之間,其中每一分離薄弱線適合於允許消費者將前置包裝與複數個分離。現轉向圖2,實質上如上文所描述之個別包裝10a、10b、10c彼此以連續方式接合,其中分離薄弱線30a、30b界定於個別包裝之間。 The aforementioned individual packages of personal care articles can be joined to other similar packages to form a bundle, multiple packs or a pouch package. For example, a plurality of packages may be joined to each other along a peripheral edge, and a separate line of weakness may be disposed between the individual packages, wherein each of the separate lines of weakness is adapted to allow the consumer to separate the front package from the plurality. Turning now to Figure 2, the individual packages 10a, 10b, 10c are substantially joined to one another in a continuous manner as described above, wherein the discrete lines of weakness 30a, 30b are defined between individual packages.

每一分離薄弱線30適合於允許消費者將前置包裝10與複數個40分離。舉例而言,如圖2B中所代表性地說明,當力係在方向50上施加於前置包裝10上時,前置包裝10開始沿分離薄弱線30撕裂遠離剩餘複數個40。 Each of the discrete lines of weakness 30 is adapted to allow the consumer to separate the front package 10 from the plurality of 40s. For example, as representatively illustrated in FIG. 2B, when force is applied to the front package 10 in direction 50, the front package 10 begins to tear away from the remaining plurality of 40 along the separation line of weakness 30.

分離薄弱線30可由一系列穿孔(諸如,圓點或短劃線)形成。此等圓點或短劃線可穿透前壁11及後壁13之組合厚度52,如圖2B中所代表性地說明。替代地,此等圓點或短劃線可僅部分地穿透組合厚度52,諸如僅前壁11或後壁13之厚度54。在某些具體例中,每一分離薄弱線30包含僅部分地穿透前壁11與後壁13之組合厚度52的連續刻痕線。較佳地,分離薄弱線(無論係一系列圓點或短劃線抑或一連續刻痕線)延伸跨越複數個40包裝之縱向維度。 The separation line of weakness 30 can be formed from a series of perforations, such as dots or dashes. These dots or dashes can penetrate the combined thickness 52 of the front wall 11 and the back wall 13, as illustrated representatively in Figure 2B. Alternatively, such dots or dashes may only partially penetrate the combined thickness 52, such as only the thickness 54 of the front wall 11 or the back wall 13. In some embodiments, each of the discrete lines of weakness 30 includes a continuous score line that only partially penetrates the combined thickness 52 of the front wall 11 and the back wall 13. Preferably, the separation line of weakness (whether a series of dots or dashes or a continuous score line) extends across a plurality of longitudinal dimensions of the 40 packages.

在一個尤其較佳之具體例中,每一分離薄弱線30平行於至少一個撕裂導引件,且更佳地,平行於沿第二軸線延伸之第二撕裂導引件26。圖2A代表性地說明此組構。在特定具體例中,當消費者拉動前置個別包裝10a以將其自剩餘複數個40移除時,分離薄弱線30撕裂以有助於此移除,但該包裝並不沿第一撕裂導引件24或第二撕裂導引件26而撕裂。以此方式,個別包裝可視需要經移除且放入小錢包或公文包中,同時保持密封以保護容納於其中之個人護理物品免於外部污染。為實現此,撕裂導引件可具有高 於分離薄弱線30之撕裂強度(亦即,需要更多力來撕裂)。以此方式,當移除力經施加於包裝上時(諸如,圖2A中之力50),分離薄弱線30將撕裂,但撕裂導引件26將不會撕裂。使每一分離薄弱線平行於每一撕裂導引件在某些製造組構中可為有利的。 In a particularly preferred embodiment, each of the discrete lines of weakness 30 is parallel to the at least one tear guide and, more preferably, parallel to the second tear guide 26 extending along the second axis. Figure 2A representatively illustrates this configuration. In a particular embodiment, when the consumer pulls the front individual package 10a to remove it from the remaining plurality 40, the separation line 30 tears to facilitate this removal, but the package does not tear along the first The split guide 24 or the second tear guide 26 is torn. In this manner, individual packages can be removed as needed and placed in a purse or briefcase while remaining sealed to protect the personal care items contained therein from external contamination. To achieve this, the tear guide can have a tear strength that is higher than the separation line 30 (i.e., more force is required to tear). In this manner, when the removal force is applied to the package (such as force 50 in Figure 2A), the separation line 30 will tear, but the tear guide 26 will not tear. It may be advantageous to have each of the separate lines of weakness parallel to each of the tear guides in certain manufacturing configurations.

現轉向圖3A,例示性個別包裝之打開經說明。為打開包裝,使用者可通常在第一箭頭51之方向上施加力,藉此沿撕裂起始薄弱部進行撕裂。在到達第一撕裂導引件後,使用者即通常在第二箭頭53之方向上施加力直至到達第二撕裂導引件,此時力係在第三箭頭55之方向上被施加。此後,包裝沿其側面中之兩者至少部分地被打開以暴露使用者可抓取及移除之產品之邊緣。在包裝係實質上矩形的尤其較佳之具體例中,第二撕裂導引件並不沿包裝之整個縱向惟度延伸,而是僅沿縱向維度之一部分延伸使得包裝之已分離部分被保留。為確保包裝之已分離部分被保留,包裝可在第二撕裂導引件之遠端處設有撕裂止擋件35。 Turning now to Figure 3A, the opening of an exemplary individual package is illustrated. To open the package, the user can typically apply a force in the direction of the first arrow 51 to thereby tear along the tear initiation weakness. After reaching the first tearing guide, the user typically applies a force in the direction of the second arrow 53 until the second tearing guide is reached, at which point the force is applied in the direction of the third arrow 55. Thereafter, the package is at least partially opened along both sides thereof to expose the edges of the product that the user can grab and remove. In a particularly preferred embodiment where the package is substantially rectangular, the second tear guide does not extend along the entire longitudinal extent of the package, but only extends along one of the longitudinal dimensions such that the separated portion of the package is retained. To ensure that the separated portion of the package is retained, the package can be provided with a tear stop 35 at the distal end of the second tear guide.

第一撕裂導引件及第二撕裂導引件之長度可取決於包裝之內含物而變化,然而,導引件之總長度通常較佳係包裝之總周邊長度之至少約30%,且更佳地,係包裝之總周邊長度之至少約40%且再更佳係約45%。另外,第一撕裂導引件及第二撕裂導引件之各別長度可相同或其可不同。在包裝實質上係具有垂直於縱向方向延伸之寬度的矩形且第一撕裂導引件沿在寬度維度上之軸線延伸且第二撕裂導引件沿在縱向方向上之軸線延伸的情況下,第一撕裂導引件可具有小於第二撕裂導引件之長度的長度。在前述具體例中,撕裂導引件之總長度係包裝之總周邊長度之至少約30%,且更佳地,係包裝之總周邊長度之至少約40%且再更佳係約45%,且導 引件經配置使得在使用者沿撕裂導引件打開包裝時,包裝沿其邊緣中之兩者至少部分地被打開。 The length of the first tear guide and the second tear guide may vary depending on the contents of the package, however, the total length of the guide is generally preferably at least about 30% of the total peripheral length of the package. And more preferably, at least about 40% of the total perimeter length of the package and more preferably about 45%. Additionally, the respective lengths of the first tear guide and the second tear guide may be the same or may be different. Where the package is substantially rectangular having a width extending perpendicular to the longitudinal direction and the first tear guide extends along an axis in the width dimension and the second tear guide extends along an axis in the longitudinal direction The first tear guide may have a length that is less than the length of the second tear guide. In the foregoing specific examples, the total length of the tear guide is at least about 30% of the total peripheral length of the package, and more preferably, at least about 40% of the total peripheral length of the package and more preferably about 45%. And the guide is configured such that when the user opens the package along the tear guide, the package is at least partially opened along both of its edges.

一旦包裝沿其側面中之兩者被打開,使用者便可分配產品供使用。在一個具體例(諸如,圖3B中所說明之具體例)中,產品為摺疊式薄紙。薄紙紙張可以任何數目種不同方式加以摺疊。舉例而言,以量測為約8.75吋×8.5吋之完整大小的單張薄紙開始,薄紙紙張可經z形摺疊,其中薄紙之對置邊緣被摺疊以使兩個邊緣置於薄紙紙張之中心線處。薄紙可接著沿垂直於z形折物之摺疊線被對折。若更緊密之摺疊產品係所要的,則薄紙紙張可被第二次對折。在尤其較佳之具體例中,z形摺疊線平行於薄紙紙張之較長維度。 Once the package is opened along both sides of its side, the user can dispense the product for use. In a specific example, such as the specific example illustrated in Figure 3B, the product is a folded tissue. Tissue paper can be folded in any number of different ways. For example, starting with a single sheet of tissue measuring about 8.75 inches by 8.5 inches, the tissue paper can be folded in a z-shape with the opposite edges of the tissue folded so that the two edges are placed in the center of the tissue paper Line. The tissue can then be folded in half along a fold line that is perpendicular to the z-fold. If a more compact folded product is desired, the tissue paper can be folded in half for the second time. In a particularly preferred embodiment, the z-fold line is parallel to the longer dimension of the tissue paper.

在尤其較佳之具體例(諸如,圖3B中所說明之具體例)中,產品62之一部分可保持包夾於包裝之第一壁11與第二壁13之間。保留於包裝內之產品之量可取決於產品之大小及包裝之大小而變化。在一個具體例中,一旦包裝被打開且產品經分配以供使用,產品之約2至約20%,更佳約5至約10%(量測為產品之總表面積之百分比)保留在包裝內。 In a particularly preferred embodiment, such as the specific example illustrated in Figure 3B, a portion of the product 62 can remain sandwiched between the first wall 11 and the second wall 13 of the package. The amount of product retained in the package may vary depending on the size of the product and the size of the package. In one embodiment, once the package is opened and the product is dispensed for use, from about 2 to about 20%, more preferably from about 5 to about 10% of the product (measured as a percentage of the total surface area of the product) remains in the package. .

如圖3B中所見,藉由提供保留產品62之一部分的包裝10,包裝可用作使用者與產品之間的阻障。此在產品為用於鼻子擦拭及其類似者之薄紙且包裝提供待擦拭排泄物與使用者手之間的額外阻障的情況下可為特別有益的。此組構可提供如下額外益處:提供用於儲存及設置所使用產品之容器。舉例而言,在使用之後,使用者可將產品放回至在兩側保持密封之包裝以供儲存及棄置。 As seen in Figure 3B, the package can be used as a barrier between the user and the product by providing a package 10 that retains a portion of the product 62. This may be particularly beneficial where the product is a tissue for a nose wipe and the like and the package provides an additional barrier between the waste to be wiped and the user's hand. This configuration provides the additional benefit of providing a container for storing and setting up the product used. For example, after use, the user can put the product back into a package that is sealed on both sides for storage and disposal.

雖然本發明已針對其特定態樣加以詳細描述,但應理解,熟習該項技藝者於瞭解上述內容時,可容易設想到該等實施例的變化、變異及等效者。因此,本發明之範疇應就隨附申請專利範圍及以下具體例來評估: Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the specific embodiments thereof, it will be understood that Therefore, the scope of the invention should be evaluated in the scope of the accompanying claims and the following specific examples:
