Wet material storage container and wet tissue package

Technical field

[0001] The present invention stores a wet material such as paper, cloth, etc. in a wet state and can take out the wet material as needed, and a wet tissue in the wet material storage container. The present invention relates to a wet tissue package having a configuration in which a container is stored.

Background art

[0002] Conventionally, there have been used containers that store wet materials such as wet tissue, such as wet paper and cloth, and that can be pulled out and used as needed. A typical example of such a container is a cylindrical container, in which a wound wet material in the form of being wound is stored in an upright state, a drawer loca wet material provided on the top surface of the container is pulled out, It was intended to be cut off at an appropriate position. A cap is attached to this drawer port to prevent the inside of the container from drying. In addition, a notch is provided from the upper edge of the peripheral wall of the opening at the top of the cylindrical container, the notch force is set to draw out the wetting material, and a pivotable lid is provided at the periphery of the upper end of the container. There is also known a container having a structure in which a take-out port is formed at a position corresponding to the cut portion, and the lid is rotated to close or open the cut portion (see, for example, Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 7-9735).

[0003] On the other hand, a container in which single-wafer wet tissues are stacked is also known.

Containers for storing single-wafer wet tissue are much smaller in height than the long side dimension of the bottom

This is a box-shaped container (horizontal container) of size V, in which the wet tissue is stored horizontally, and the wet tissue is drawn out from the outlet formed at the center of the top surface of the container. In order to close the outlet, a lid that can be turned by a hinge is provided (for example, see Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 9-58725).

[0004] However, using the cylindrical container described above, there is a problem that only a continuous wet material in a wound state can be used, and it cannot be used for storing a single wet tissue. . In addition, it was necessary to rotate the cap and lid to open and close the outlet, and there was a problem that it was difficult to handle with one-touch operation. On the other hand, a single wafer wet tissue In the case of using a screw, the spring is connected to the lid attached by the hinge and always biased in the opening direction, and the lid is opened with one touch by releasing the locking piece that restrains the lid in the closed position. Because it can store wet tissue horizontally, it occupies a larger area than a cylindrical container and takes up space.

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION

Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. 1A and 1B show a wetting material storage container according to an embodiment of the present invention with the lid closed and the lid open. FIG. 2 is a schematic perspective view showing the wet material storage container with the wet tissue bag disassembled and being put therein, and FIGS. 3A, B, and C are schematic front views of the wet material storage container. FIG. 4 is a schematic sectional view of the container for storing the wetting material. The container for storing a wetting material indicated by reference numeral 1 as a whole is a container for storing a wetting material such as wet paper such as wet tissue or a cloth, which can be taken out as necessary. The front body part 2 and the rear body part 3 in a split form are connected in a form that can be opened and closed via a hinge part 4. Here, the vertical container means a container that can be used in an upright state and has a height V higher than the maximum dimension in a horizontal plane. As described above, the vertical body is formed by the front body portion 2 and the rear body portion 3 to provide an advantage that the occupied area can be reduced.

[0025] The front body part 2 and the rear body part 3 connected through the hinge part 4 are formed by molding of resin, for example, injection molding. The hinge part 4 connects the front body part 2 and the rear body part 3 so that they can be opened and closed, and is provided so that resin flows during molding.In this embodiment, the entire area of one side edge of the front body part 2 is provided in the rear body. It is provided so as to be connected to the side edge of part 3. Instead of providing the hinge portion 4 over the entire side edge of the front body portion 2, the hinge portion 4 may be provided only in a partial region, or may be changed so as to be provided at a plurality of locations at intervals. Furthermore, it is good also as a structure which provides a hinge part so that the bottom edge of the front body part 2 may be connected with the bottom edge of the rear body part 2. FIG. In this case, however, an appropriate leg portion extending downward from the hinge portion should be provided in the bottom area of the container so that the container formed by assembling the front body portion 2 and the rear body portion 3 can be self-supporting. is required.

[0026] The front body portion 2 and the rear body portion 3 have fitting portions 5 and 6 that can be fitted to each other at their peripheral portions with good airtightness. As shown in enlarged views in FIGS. 5A and 5B, the fitting portions 5 and 6 are provided with a groove 5a having a narrowed tip opening, and the other fitting portion 6 is provided in the groove 5a. The protrusion 6a which can be fitted and has a thick part at the tip is provided, and the protrusion 6a can be connected with good airtightness by fitting into the groove 5a. Here, the fitting parts 5 and 6 are formed over the entire periphery of the front body part 2 and the rear body part 3, and the front body part 2 and the rear body are fitted by fitting the fitting parts 5 and 6 together. Part 3 can be connected in a gas tight manner and assembled into a vertical container. The undercut formed in the mating parts 5 and 6 May be the same over the entire circumference of the front body part 2 and the rear body part 3, but when connecting the edges of a substantially rectangular shape, it is possible to secure the two by tightening the fitting of the corners. Connection and good airtightness are ensured. For this reason, it is preferable to make the undercut of the fitting parts 5 and 6 formed in the corner part larger than other areas. A guide 7 is formed at an appropriate position on the front body portion 2 in order to facilitate the fitting operation when fitting the fitting portions 5 and 6 together. Further, the fitting portion 6 of the rear body portion 3 is formed with a bulge portion 6c so that the outer side surfaces 5b and 6b are substantially flush with the fitting portion 5. With this configuration, the appearance when the front body portion 2 and the rear body portion 3 are fitted is extremely good.

The side edges of the front body part 2 and the rear body part 3 may be connected only by fitting the fitting parts 5 and 6, but in the case of long side edges exceeding 15 cm, for example, In the case of fitting only with the fitting parts 5 and 6, when an impact such as dropping is applied, a gap is generated between the fitting parts 5 and 6, resulting in poor airtightness or disengagement. There is. Therefore, in order to prevent the fitting parts 5 and 6 from being disconnected, in this embodiment, the side of the front body part 2 opposite to the side where the hinge part 4 is arranged is provided. As shown in FIG. 5C, a hook 9 for locking to the rear body portion 3 is connected to the middle region in the height direction of the edge via a hinge portion 9a. On the other hand, a recess 10 is formed in the area of the rear body 3 that is locked by the front body 9 as shown in FIG. 6, and one end of the recess 10 (the end on the front body 2 side is engaged with the hook 9). Protrusions 11 to stop are formed.This structure secures the connection between the front body part 2 and the rear body part 3 by locking the hooks 9 to the convex parts 11, and the impact when dropped is applied. Even in this case, it is possible to prevent the fitting parts 5 and 6 from being disengaged, or a gap is formed and the airtightness is broken.In the region of the rear body part 3 corresponding to the hook 9 in FIG. The bulge 6c is notched so that it looks as close as possible to the outer surface of 3. The hook 9 and dent 10 are provided in the center of the side edges of the front body 2 and rear body 3. Appropriate as needed The hook 9 and the recess 10 may be provided on the side of the front body part 2 and the rear body part 3 connected by the hinge part 4 as well. If molding is possible, provide it. 1 to 4, the front body portion 2 has a side surface located on the front side of the vertical container in a state where the front body portion 2 and the rear body portion 3 are assembled into a vertical container. Upper region force An extraction port 15 is formed over a part of the top surface region, and the extraction port 15 is configured to be opened and closed by a lid 16 that can be swiveled around a rotation center axis set in the top surface region. The lid 16 may be formed integrally with the front body portion 2, that is, a structure connected to the front body portion 2 via a hinge portion. In this embodiment, the lid 16 is a separate component from the front body portion 2. For example, injection molding. Hereinafter, the region of the front body portion 2 where the outlet 15 is formed and the structure of the lid 16 will be described in more detail.

FIG. 7 is a schematic cross-sectional view showing the front body portion 2 with the lid 16 attached thereto opened, FIG. 8 is a schematic front view showing the front body portion 2 with the lid removed, and FIG. 8, AA schematic cross-sectional views, FIGS. 10A, B, C, and D are a schematic side view, a schematic back view, a schematic cross-sectional view, and a schematic end view of the lid 16, respectively. The front body portion 2 is located in an area where the extraction port 15 is formed, and is located on the inner side of the outermost surface 18 on the top surface and the outermost surface 19 on the side surface when the front body portion 2 and the rear body portion 3 form a vertical container. At the retracted position, the wall portion 20 is inclined so as to face obliquely upward, and the outlet 15 is formed in the wall portion 20. Here, “inclined” is not limited to a state in which a straight line is inclined, but also includes a state in which a curved line is inclined as shown in the drawing. By adopting the structure in which the outlet 15 is provided in the inclined wall portion 20 in this way, the outlet 15 with a large area can be formed and the outlet 15 faces obliquely upward, so that it is accommodated in a vertical container. The wetting material can be taken out upward, laterally, or obliquely upward. The advantage is obtained. In addition, since the large-area take-out port 15 is formed, even if a wetting material that makes it easy to put a finger into the container from an oblique upper side enters the container, it can be easily pinched and pulled out.

[0030] The lid 16 for closing the take-out port 15 is provided so as to be pivotable about a rotation center axis 0-0 set in the top surface region and inside the outermost surface 18. More specifically, a support pin 23 is formed in the vicinity of the upper end of the vertical wall 22 that also extends toward the outermost surface 19 so that both end forces of the inclined wall portion 20 of the front body portion 2 protrude toward each other. Support pin 2 By fitting the bearing holes 25 formed at both ends of the lid 16 into 3, the lid 16 is held so as to be rotatable with respect to the front body portion 2 around the rotation center axis 0-0. Here, the support body 23 is formed on the front body 2 side, and the bearing hole 25 is formed on the lid 16 side, so that there is no need to form a bearing hole on the front body 2 side. It is no longer necessary to form a through hole in part 2 that could cause air leakage. In addition, a force that can be considered to form a hole with a closed bottom instead of a through hole as a bearing hole on the front body part 2 side. Such a hole requires a boss part for closing the bottom of the hole. It becomes difficult (the die of the boss cannot be removed). In the present embodiment, these problems are avoided by forming the bearing hole 25 on the lid 16 side.

[0031] The lid 16 is substantially the same as the outermost surface 18 of the top surface of the container and the outermost surface 19 of the side surface of the container positioned around the lid 16 when the outlet 15 is closed with the lid 16. L-shaped outer surfaces 28 and 29 are provided so as to form a surface. With this configuration, as shown in FIG. 1A, when the lid 16 is closed, the outer surfaces 28 and 29 of the lid are almost flush with the outer surfaces 18 and 19 of the front body part 2 adjacent to the lid 16, and an extremely good appearance is obtained. give. In addition, as shown in FIG. 4, when the lid 16 is closed, there is a space between the outlet 15 and the lid 16 so that it can be taken out to the outlet 15 as described later. When the distal end portion of the wet tissue is held, the distal end portion is positioned in the space between the take-out port 15 and the lid 16, so that the wet tissue is prevented from being crushed by the lid 16. It becomes easy to take out.

[0032] In this type of container for storing a wetting material, it is necessary to close the outlet 15 as tightly as possible. Therefore, in this embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 7 to 9, in particular, the outlet side rib 30 is formed so as to surround the entire circumference of the outlet 15, and the receiving surface 31 is formed outside thereof. Yes. The receiving surface 31 is preferably provided over the entire circumference of the outlet 15, but may be omitted in some areas if there are local restrictions. For example, in this embodiment, the receiving surface 31 is formed on the side and the lower side of the outlet-side rib 30 formed in an annular shape, but the receiving surface is not formed on the upper side. On the other hand, the lid 16 is formed with a lid-side rib 33 that fits the outer surface of the lid 16 so as to surround the entire circumference of the outlet-side rib 30. The lid-side rib 33 is formed when the lid 16 is turned around the rotation center axis O and is put on the outlet-side rib 30. The shape of the lid side rib 33 is determined so that the lid side rib 33 can be fitted into the outlet side rib 30 satisfactorily. Further, the height of the lid-side rib 33 is determined so that the tip 33a of the lid-side rib 33 is substantially in contact with the receiving surface 31 on the front body portion 2 side when the lid 16 is closed. That is, the curvature of the tip of the lid-side rib 33 is determined to match the curvature of the receiving surface 31. With this configuration, even when the receiving surface 31 is formed integrally with the front body portion 2 (made of the same material), there is an advantage that good airtightness can be secured. Note that the fitting between the outlet-side rib 30 and the lid-side rib 33 is not limited to a strict meaning, and even if there is a slight gap between them, an appropriate airtightness can be maintained. The term “mating” used for the outlet-side rib 30 and the lid-side rib 33 in the book includes the case where there is a slight gap. If the airtightness is further improved even if there is a slight increase in cost, the receiving surface 31 may be formed of a soft cocoon material, or an appropriate packing material may be disposed on the receiving surface 31. . In order to make the receiving surface 31 softer than the material forming the front body part 2, the front body part 2 can be manufactured by different material molding or insert molding.

A coil spring 35 is attached to the lid 16 so that the lid 16 can be opened with one touch from the state where the lid 16 is held in the closed position. FIG. 11 shows a spring accommodating portion 36 for holding the coil spring 35 in the lid 16. This spring housing portion 36 can be inserted by pushing the coil spring 35 perpendicularly to the central axis of the coil spring 35 and the holding space 36a for holding the coil spring 35 so as to be positioned on the rotation center axis OO. However, the rod inlet 36b made smaller than the outer diameter of the coil spring and the part 35a extending in the tangential direction of one end of the coil spring 35 are restrained so as not to rotate. And a groove 36d for allowing the portion 35b extending in the tangential direction of the other end of the coil spring 35 to rotate. With this configuration, if the coil spring 35 is set in the holding space 36a of the spring housing portion 36, the coil spring 35 will not fall off. 4 and 7, as shown in FIGS. 4 and 7, the other end portion 35b of the coil spring 35 is supported by the support surface 38 of the front body portion 2 by attaching it to the front body portion 2. An urging force in the opening direction (clockwise in FIG. 7) can be applied to the lid 16.

[0034] Further, as shown in FIGS. 4, 7, 8, etc., the front body 2 and the lid 16 have coil coils. A locking means 40 is provided for holding the lid 16 biased in the opening direction by the screw 35 in a closed state. As shown in FIGS. 12A and 12B in an enlarged manner, the locking means 40 includes a locking convex portion 42 formed at the front end portion of the lid 16 and the front end of the lid 2 in the closed state of the front body portion 2. The push button portion 43 is integrally formed in a raised shape in a region facing the portion. The push button portion 43 includes a push face 43a for pushing with a finger, and side walls 43b and 43c formed on the entire circumference of the push face so as to support the push face 43a. The side wall 43b disposed on the side facing the front end portion of the lid 16 is formed in a flat shape, and has a convex portion 43d that engages with the convex portion 42 for locking of the lid 16 on its surface. When the push button 43 is pushed as indicated by the arrow F, the flat side wall 43b is easily inclined in the direction away from the locking projection 42 of the lid 16, and the locking projection 43 The structure is such that the engagement between 42 and the projection 43d is released.

[0035] The structure of the push button portion 43 having such characteristics is not limited to the illustrated embodiment, but in this embodiment, the push button portion 43 has a push on the root portion of the planar side wall 43b. The thin wall portion 43e is formed so that the side wall 43b can be easily inclined as a whole when the surface 43a is pushed, and the thin U-shaped portion 43f is formed in the base region of the other side wall 43c so as to be easily deformed. Is formed. With this configuration, as shown in FIG. 12A, when the push surface 43a of the push button portion 43 is pushed, the U-shaped portion 43f is easily deformed, so that the lower end region of the push surface 43a is pushed in as shown in FIG. As a result, the side wall 43b forming the convex portion 43d as a whole tilts away from the locking convex portion 42 of the lid 16, and the lid 16 is released. By force, the restraint of the lid 16 can be released no matter where the pushing surface 43a of the push button part 43 is pushed, and the lid 16 can be reliably opened with one touch. Such a structure of the push button part 43 can be realized by molding the push button part 43 into an integrated structure with the front body part 2 (with the same resin), so that the cost can be reduced. The means for releasing the restraint of the lid 16 is not limited to the push button part formed integrally with the front body part 2, and a configuration using a push button of another part may be used.

[0036] In FIG. 2,! /, 50 indicates an example of a wetting material suitable for storage in the wetting material storage container 1. Here, a plurality of single-wafer type sheets are shown. A wet tissue bag 50 is shown in which a wet tissue 51 is stacked in a form in which a portion of each wet tissue 51 is folded into a subsequent portion of the wet tissue and housed in a bag 52. This The tissue bag 50 is provided with an opening seal 53 at the upper end region of the front surface thereof, and by removing the opening seal 53, a wet tissue outlet can be formed at this position. Can be pulled out one after another. The wet tissue bag 50 is formed by storing the wet tissue bag 50 so that each wet tissue 51 is in the vertical direction and the portion where the opening seal 53 is arranged faces the take-out port 15 of the front body portion 2. it can.

[0037] The take-out port 15 of the front body portion 2 can satisfactorily take out the wet tissue 51 of the wet tissue bag 50 having such a configuration, and removes a part of the wet tissue 51 in the lower end region of the take-out port 15. It has a structure that can be held in a state of being pulled. Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 13 and 14, the lower end edges 15a and 15b of the outlet 15 are V-shaped, and one side from the side to the lower side of the V-shaped lower end region. Two lateral tongue pieces 55, 56 are provided in a shape extending so as to enter, and a first passage 58 that is obliquely narrow is formed between the lateral tongue pieces 55, 56 so as to extend in the same direction as the lower edge 15a, A slightly larger second passage 59 is formed in the tip region of the lower lateral tongue piece 55 so as to be connected to the first passage 58, and further vertically extended so as to extend downward below the lower lateral tongue piece 55. A tongue piece 60 is provided, and a narrow third passage 61 connected to the second passage 59 is provided between the lateral tongue piece 55 and the vertical tongue piece 60, and further, next to the vertical tongue piece 60, the second passage 61 connected to the third passage 61. The four passages 62 are provided.

[0038] Here, when the narrow first passage 58 and the third passage 61 are arranged so as to intersect at a small angle, when the wet tissue 51 (see Fig. 2) is pulled out from the take-out port 15, A portion of the wet tissue 51 is guided by the lower edges 15a and 15b and enters the first passage 58, the second passage 59, the third passage 61, the fourth passage 62, and the like. Moderate resistance is provided by passage 58 and third passage 61. Therefore, when the next wet tissue 51 is pulled out by the first wet tissue 51 that has been pulled out, the next wet tissue 51 is caught at the first passage 58 and the third passage 61 and is held in that position. The When pulling out the wet tissue 51 of the single wafer, only one wet tissue is pulled out, the subsequent wet tissue is caught in the lower end area of the extraction port 15, and the tip protrudes from the extraction port 15. It is held in a state and will be prepared for the next drawer. Also, when one wet tissue is pulled out, the subsequent wet tee There is a possibility that a plurality of bushes are set and pulled out, but these are also restrained by the lateral tongue pieces 55 and 56 and the vertical tongue piece 60 forming the first passage 58, the third passage 61, and the plurality of wedges. The tissue is not pulled out together. Further, as shown in FIG. 4, the leading end of the subsequent wet tissue 51 that is pulled to the rear end portion of the first (first) wet tissue 51 and accumulated in the take-out port 15 is a closed lid 16. It is held without being crushed in the space between and the outlet 15. For this reason, the tip of the wet tissue can be easily pinched and pulled out at the next use.

13 and 14, the lateral tongue pieces 55 and 56 and the vertical tongue piece 60 forming the first passage 58 and the third passage 61 are easily deformed and the gap between the first passage 58 and the third passage 61. The size affects the pulling characteristics of the wet tissue. That is, if the horizontal tongue pieces 55 and 56 and the vertical tongue piece 60 are not deformed much and the distance between the first passage 58 and the third passage 61 is narrow, the resistance when pulling out the wet tissue increases. Another problem arises if it is not preferred or if the subsequent wet tissue cannot enter the first passage 58 and the third passage 61 and falls into the container! On the other hand, if the horizontal tongue pieces 55 and 56 and the vertical tongue piece 60 are too easily deformed, or if the distance between the first passage 58 and the third passage 61 is too wide, a plurality of wet tissues will be pulled out together. . Therefore, in order not to cause these problems, the ease of deformation of the horizontal tongue pieces 55 and 56 and the vertical tongue piece 60 and the gap dimension between the first passage 58 and the third passage 61 may be determined. If the horizontal tongue pieces 55 and 56 and the vertical tongue piece 60 are appropriately deformed easily, the horizontal tongue pieces 55 and 56 and the vertical tongue piece 60 are deformed when the wet tissue is pulled out, and the first passage 58 and The gap of the third passage 61 is widened, and the advantage that the influence of the gap size of the first passage 58 and the third passage 61 can be reduced is obtained. The gap dimension between the first passage 58 and the third passage 61 may be set as appropriate according to the wet tissue to be used, but can be about 1 to 3 mm as a guide.

[0040] When making the horizontal tongue pieces 55, 56 easy to deform, it is preferable to improve the wet tissue extraction characteristics by deforming the base tongue portions so as to incline as a whole. Therefore, in this embodiment, curved easily deformable portions 55a and 56a are formed at the root portions of the lateral tongue pieces 55 and 56, and the region closer to the tip than the easily deformable portions 55a and 56a is used for reinforcement. Ribs 55b and 56b are provided. [0041] Next, a method of using the wetting material storage container 1 having the above-described configuration will be described. The wet material storage container 1 is used for distribution such as retail sales as a wet tissue package containing the wet tissue bags 50 shown in FIG. The person who has obtained this pushes the push face 43a of the push button 43 on the front of the front body part 2 to open the lid 16, inserts a finger from the outlet 15 and attaches the opening seal 53 on the front of the wet tissue bag 50. The first wet tissue 51 is pulled out and hooked on the first passage 58 and the third passage 61 in the lower end region of the outlet 15. The wet tissue bag 50 may be opened by opening the front body portion 2 and the rear body portion 3 and taking out the wet tissue bag 50. After the first wet tissue 51 is pulled out and hooked on the lower end region of the extraction port 15, the lid 16 is closed. As a result, preparation for use is completed, and the wet material storage container 1 is placed and used in an appropriate position in a standing state.

[0042] In order to take out the wet tissue, simply press the push surface 43a of the push button portion 43 with a finger.

As a result, the locking of the lid 16 is released, and the lid 16 is automatically opened by the biasing force of the coil spring 35. Therefore, it is only necessary to pinch and pull out the tip of the wet tissue that is pulling the extraction port 15. When one piece of wet tissue is pulled out from the outlet 15, the leading end of the subsequent wet tissue is pulled out together, and the first passage 58 or the third passage 61 in the lower end area of the outlet 15 is pulled. Held in. Thereafter, the lid 16 can be closed by turning and pushing the lid 16 in the closing direction. As described above, simply press the push surface 43a of the push button unit 43 with your finger, pull out the wet tissue after the lid 16 is opened, and then rotate the lid 16 in the closing direction and push it in. One wet tissue can be pulled out and the wetting material container 1 can be returned to its original state. After using the stored wet tissue, obtain a new wet tissue bag 50, open the front body part 2 and the rear body part 3, replace the wet tissue bag 50, and repeat the above operation. .

[0043] The power described above for the preferred embodiment of the present invention The present invention is not limited to this embodiment, and can be appropriately changed within the scope of the claims. For example, the wetting material stored in the wetting material storage container 1 is not limited to a single sheet of wet tissue, but may be a continuous wet tissue in a wound form! . Further, in the above-described embodiment, the wall portion 20 is inclined to the front body portion 2 so as to be retracted inward from the top surface and the outermost surface of the side surface of the vertical container formed by the front body portion 2 and the rear body 3. The force that forms the outlet 15 in the wall 20 is omitted, and the wall that is retracted inward is omitted, and the punch outlet is opened directly to the top and side of the vertical container. Modifications such as a configuration in which an extraction port is provided so as to open only in the upper end region of the side surface may be added. In the case where the take-out port is provided so as to open only in the upper end region of the side surface of the vertical container, the side surface forming the take-out port on the side surface of the container is inclined in a direction of retreating toward the upper end, and the take-out port It is preferable that the opening is made obliquely upward to facilitate the removal of the wetting material.
