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 stored in a stacked state is also known.

Containers for storing single-wafer wet tissues have a maximum bottom dimension that is significantly smaller than their height.

It is a box-shaped container (horizontal container) of size V, in which wet tissue is stored in a horizontal state, and an extraction loca formed at the center of the top surface of the container is also configured to draw out the wet tissue. 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. FIG. 1A and FIG. IB are schematic perspective views showing a wetting material storage container according to an embodiment of the present invention, with the lid closed and the lid open, and FIG. 2 showing the wetting material storage container. FIG. 3A, FIG. 3B, and FIG. 3C are a schematic front view, a schematic side view, a schematic plan view, and a schematic plan view, respectively, of the wet material storage container. For storing the wetting material It is a schematic sectional drawing of a container. The container for storing a wetting material indicated as a whole by reference numeral 1 is a container for storing a wetting material such as wet tissue such as wet tissue or a cloth, which can be taken out as necessary. It has a split front body 2 and rear body 3. Here, the vertical container means a container that can be used in an upright state and is higher than the maximum dimension in a horizontal plane. By adopting a configuration in which the vertical container is formed by the front body 2 and the rear body 3 in this way, an advantage that the occupied area can be reduced can be obtained.

[0025] The front body 2 and the rear body 3 are made by resin molding, for example, injection molding. The front body 2 and the rear body 3 have fitting portions 5 and 6 that can be fitted to each other with good airtightness at the respective peripheral portions. As shown in the enlarged view of Fig. 5A, one of the fitting parts 5 has a groove 5a with a narrow end opening, and the other fitting part 6 can be fitted in the groove 5a. The projection 6a having a thick portion at the tip is provided, and the projection 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 2 and the rear body 3, and the front body 2 and the rear body 3 are connected by fitting the fitting parts 5 and 6 together. It can be connected tightly and assembled into a vertical container. Note that the undercuts formed in the fitting parts 5 and 6 may be the same over the entire circumference of the front body 2 and the rear body 3, but each corner part is used when connecting the substantially rectangular peripheral edges. By tightly fitting the two, secure connection between the two and good airtightness are ensured. For this reason, it is preferable that the undercuts of the fitting portions 5 and 6 formed at the corner portions are made larger than those in other regions. A guide 7 is formed on the front body 2 at an appropriate position in order to facilitate the fitting operation when fitting the fitting parts 5 and 6 together. Further, the fitting portion 6 of the rear body 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 when fitted. With this configuration, the appearance when the front body 2 and the rear body 3 are fitted is very good.

[0026] The connection between both side edges of the front body 2 and the rear body 3 may be performed only by fitting the fitting parts 5 and 6, but in the case of long side edges exceeding 15 cm, for example. For example, when only fitting parts 5 and 6 are fitted, there is a gap between the fitting parts 5 and 6 when an impact such as dropping occurs, resulting in poor airtightness or disengagement. May occur. There In this embodiment, in order to prevent such fitting parts 5 and 6 from being disconnected, in the intermediate region in the height direction of the side edge of the front body 2, as shown in FIG. A hook 9 for locking to the rear body 3 is continuously provided via a hinge portion 9a. On the other hand, in the region of the rear body 3 that is locked by the front body 9, a recess 10 is formed as shown in FIG. 6 and one end of the recess 10 (the protrusion that is locked to the hook 9 at the end of the front body 2 side). This configuration ensures the connection between the front body 2 and the rear body 3 by locking the hook 9 to the convex portion 11, and can be fitted even when impact is applied when dropped. This prevents the fitting of parts 5 and 6 from being disengaged and the formation of a gap to break the airtightness.In Fig. 5B, in the region of rear body 3 corresponding to hook 9, hook 6 is attached to the outer surface of rear body 3 as much as possible. The bulge 6c is cut out to improve the appearance, and the hook 9 and the recess 10 are not limited to the case where one set is provided at the center of the side edges of the front body 2 and the rear body 3, but is necessary. If necessary, open an appropriate interval. Te may be a plurality of sets provided.

In FIG. 1 to FIG. 4, the front body 2 includes a side surface and a top surface located on the front side of the vertical container in a state where the front body 2 and the rear body 3 are assembled in a vertical container. The area force close to the top surface area also forms a part of the top surface area to form an extraction port 15, and the extraction port 15 is configured to open and close with a lid 16 that can be swiveled around the rotation center axis set as the top surface area. The lid 16 may be formed in a structure that is integrated with the front body 2, that is, a structure that is connected to the front body 2 via a hinge portion. However, in this embodiment, the lid 16 is a separate component from the front body 2. It is made by molding, for example injection molding. Hereinafter, the region of the front body 2 where the outlet 15 is formed and the structure of the lid 16 will be described in more detail.

[0028] FIG. 7 is a schematic sectional view showing the front body 2 with the lid 16 attached thereto being opened, FIG. 8 is a schematic front view showing the front body 2 with the lid removed, and FIG. 8A, 10A, 10B, 10C, and 10D 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 2 is located in an area where the outlet 15 is formed, 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 2 and the rear body 3 form a vertical container. In the retracted position, the wall portion 20 is inclined so as to face obliquely upward, and an outlet 15 is formed in the wall portion 20. Here, “inclined” is not limited to the state in which the straight line is inclined, but as shown in the drawing. This includes the state where the curved line is slanted. By adopting a structure in which the outlet 15 is provided in the inclined wall portion 20 in this manner, the outlet 15 with a large area can be formed and the outlet 15 is directed obliquely upward, so that the inside of the vertical container is The stored wetting material can be taken out upward, laterally, or taken diagonally upward, and the degree of freedom of taking out is increased according to the taste of the person who takes it out. The advantage that it is easy 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 also enters the container, it can be easily pinched and pulled out.

[0029] The lid 16 for closing the take-out port 15 is provided so as to be pivotable about the rotation center axis 0-0 set in the top surface region and on the inner side of the outermost surface 18. More specifically, a support pin 23 is formed so as to protrude opposite to each other near the upper end of the vertical wall 22 that also extends toward the outermost surface 19 with both end forces of the inclined wall portion 20 of the front body 2. By fitting bearing holes 25 formed at both ends of the lid 16 to the support pins 23, the lid 16 is held so as to be rotatable with respect to the front body 2 around the rotation center axis 0-0. Here, the support pin 23 is formed on the front body 2 side and the bearing hole 25 is formed on the lid 16 side, so that it is not necessary to form a bearing hole on the front body 2 side. There is no need to form a leaky through hole. Also, it is possible to form a hole with a closed bottom instead of a through hole as a bearing hole on the front body 2 side. Such a hole requires a boss for closing the bottom of the hole, making it difficult to mold. (The boss part cannot be removed). In the present embodiment, these problems are avoided by forming the bearing hole 25 on the lid 16 side.

[0030] The lid 16 is substantially the same as the outermost surface 18 of the container top surface 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 2 adjacent to the lid 16, giving a very good appearance. . 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 separated into the outlet 15 as described later. Hang the tip of wet tissue When this is done, the tip of the tip is located in the space between the outlet 15 and the lid 16, making it easier to remove wet tissue that will not be crushed by the lid 16.

[0031] 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 arranged so that the lid-side rib 33 fits well with the outlet-side rib 30 when the lid 16 is turned around the rotation center axis O and is put on the outlet-side rib 30. The shape is fixed. 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 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 2 (with 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 hermeticity can be maintained. The term “fitting” used for the outlet-side rib 30 and the lid-side rib 33 in the letter shall include the case where there is a slight gap. In the case where the airtightness is further improved even if there is some cost increase, the receiving surface 31 may be made of a soft material, or an appropriate packing material may be disposed on the receiving surface 31. In order to form the receiving surface 31 with a material softer than the material forming the front body 2, the front body 2 may 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 on the lid 16. This spring storage 3 6 is a holding space 36a for holding the coil spring 35 so as to be positioned on the rotation center axis OO, and the coil spring 35 can be inserted by pushing it in the direction perpendicular to the center axis of the coil spring 35. A locking hole 36c that restrains the rod inlet 36b that is made smaller than the outer diameter of the coil spring and the portion 35a that extends in the tangential direction at one end of the coil spring 35 so as to prevent it from rotating. And a groove 36d or the like that allows the turning of the portion 35b extending in the tangential direction of the other end of the coil spring 35. 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 2, and the coil spring 35 is always attached to the lid 16. On the other hand, an urging force in the opening direction (clockwise in Fig. 7) can be applied.

Furthermore, as shown in FIGS. 4, 7, 8 and the like, the front body 2 and the lid 16 hold the lid 16 biased in the opening direction by the coil spring 35 in a closed state. Locking means 40 is provided. 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 lid 2 of the closed state of the front body 2. A push button portion 43 is integrally formed in a raised shape in a region facing the tip 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.

[0034] The structure of the push button portion 43 having such characteristics is not limited to the illustrated embodiment, but in the present 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. The region is pushed in, so that 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 portion 43 can be realized by molding the push button portion 43 into an integral structure with the front body 2 (with the same grease), so that the cost can be reduced. Note that the means for releasing the restraint of the lid 16 is not limited to the push button portion formed in a single structure with the front body 2, and a configuration using a push button of a separate part may be used.

[0035] In Fig. 2, reference numeral 50 denotes an example of a wetting material suitable for storage in the wetting material storage container 1. Here, a plurality of single-wafer type wet tissues 51 are provided. A wet tissue bag 50 is shown in which a portion of each wet tissue 51 is stacked in a form that is folded into a subsequent portion of the wet tissue and housed in a bag 52. The wet tissue bag 50 is provided with an opening seal 53 in 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. Wet tissue 51 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 outlet 15 of the front body 2. it can.

[0036] The take-out port 15 of the front body 2 is capable of satisfactorily taking out the wet tissue 51 of the wet tissue bag 50 having such a configuration and pulling a part of the wet tissue 51 to the lower end region of the take-out port 15. It has a structure that can be held in a scraped state. Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 13 and 14, the lower end edges 15a and 15b of the outlet 15 are V-shaped, and the lateral force is placed on 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 narrow passage 58 is formed between the lateral tongue pieces 55, 56 so as to extend obliquely in the same direction as the lower edge 15a. In the tip region of the lower lateral tongue piece 55, a slightly larger second passage 59 is formed so as to connect to the first passage 58, and further, it extends upward below the lower lateral tongue piece 55. A vertical tongue piece 60 is provided, a narrow third passage 61 connected to the second passage 59 is provided between the horizontal tongue piece 55 and the vertical tongue piece 60, and a third tongue 61 is provided beside the vertical tongue piece 60. When the fourth passage 62 connected to the passage 61 is provided, the configuration is as follows.

[0037] 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. In addition, when one wet tissue is pulled out, a plurality of subsequent wet tissues may be pulled out together, and these are also lateral tongue pieces forming the first passage 58 and the third passage 61. Restrained by 55, 56 and longitudinal tongue 60, multiple wet tissues are 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 to prevent these problems from occurring, the horizontal tongue pieces 55 and 56 and the vertical The ease of deformation of the 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 appropriately set according to the wet tissue to be used, but can be exemplified by about 1 to 3 mm.

[0039] As a result of various tests conducted by the present inventors, when the lateral tongue pieces 55 and 56 are easily deformed, it is possible to improve the extraction characteristics of the wet tissue by deforming the base tongue portion so that it is inclined as a whole. It turned out to be preferable. 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 reinforcing ribs are provided in the region on the tip side of the easily deformable portions 55a and 56a. 55b and 56b are provided.

[0040] 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 surface 43a of the push button 43 on the front of the front body 2 to open the lid 16, puts a finger through the outlet 15 and removes the opening seal 53 on the front of the wet tissue bag 50. Then, 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 disassembling the front body 2 and the rear body 3 and taking out the wet tissue bag 50. After pulling out the first wet tissue 51 and hooking it on the lower end region of the outlet 15, the lid 16 is closed. Thus, preparation for use is completed, and the wet material storage container 1 is placed and used in an appropriate position in a standing state.

[0041] 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. Then swivel the lid 16 in the closing direction. Further, the lid 16 can be closed by pushing. 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 the stored wet tissue is used, a new wet tissue bag 50 is obtained, the front body 2 and the rear body 3 are disassembled, the wet tissue bag 50 is replaced, and the above operation is repeated.

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 front body 2 is provided with the inclined wall portion 20 at a position retracted inward from the top and side outermost surfaces of the vertical container formed by the front body 2 and the rear body 3. The force that forms the outlet 15 in the wall 20 The wall that is retracted inward is omitted, and the outlet is provided so as to open directly on the top and side surfaces of the vertical container. It is also possible to make changes 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. In the case where the take-out port is provided so as to open only in the upper end region on 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 then taken out. It is preferable that the mouth is opened obliquely upward because the wetting material can be easily taken out.
