Description

The present invention relates to a wet tissue storage container for storing a roll of wet tissue so that the wet tissue can be pulled out one by one.

Conventionally, a container body for storing a roll of wet tissue in which easy-cutting portions are formed at predetermined intervals in the longitudinal direction and a lid body that can be detachably attached so as to close the opening of the container body are provided. Wet tissue storage containers are widely known in which the lid is provided with a drawer hole for pulling out the wet tissue, and the easy-to-cut portion is cut by the frictional resistance between the pull-out hole and the wet tissue so that the wet tissue can be taken out one by one. Has been done.

In such a wet tissue storage container, when the wet tissue can be pulled out, it is necessary to insert the wet tissue into the drawer hole, but the wet tissue has an easily cut portion due to frictional resistance with the drawer hole. Since it is designed to be cut, the inner diameter of the drawer hole is considerably small.
Therefore, in order to insert the wet tissue into this small-diameter drawer hole, it is necessary to use a sharp tool to push the wet tissue into the drawer hole, and when making the wet tissue pullable, There was a problem that it required very troublesome work.

To solve such a problem, a flexible spout having a slit portion formed from the outer end surface to the drawer hole is attached and detached inside the spout support wall projecting from the lower surface of the top plate of the lid. Wet tissue storage containers that can be mounted have been proposed (see, for example, Patent Documents 1 and 2), and these wet tissue storage containers have a slit of the spout by removing the spout mounted in the spout support wall. By picking both sides of the part to widen the slit part, passing the wet tissue through the pull-out hole, and then mounting the spout inside the spout support wall, the wet tissue can be pulled out. ..

The lid 3 is provided with a wet tissue insertion hole 6 bored in the top plate 5, a small lid 7 that covers the wet tissue insertion hole 6 so as to be openable and closable, and a spout inside the top plate 5. It is provided with a spout support wall 9 on which the 8 is mounted.

The lid 3 has a cylindrical shape with an open lower end, and a female screw portion 10 screwed with the male screw portion 4 of the container body 1 is formed on the inner peripheral surface of the lower end portion along the circumferential direction. , It is designed to be detachably fitted into the opening 2 of the container body 1. The lid 3 is molded by injection molding or the like using a thermoplastic resin such as polypropylene, polyethylene, polyvinyl chloride, or ABS resin.

The top plate 5 of the lid 3 is formed with a step-down surface portion 12 that is one step lower than the top surface portion 11 at the center of the top surface portion 11. A circular surrounding wall 13 is erected on the stepped down surface portion 12, and a circular wet tissue insertion hole 6 is bored in the center inside the surrounding wall 13.

The wet tissue insertion hole 6 is closed by the spout 8, and the size of the wet tissue insertion hole 6 is such that the fingertip can be pushed into the wet tissue insertion hole 6. Specifically, it is preferable that the diameter is in the range of 1 to 2 cm.

Further, in the top plate 5 of the lid body 3, a finger insertion recess 14 formed by deeply recessing the top plate 5 is formed continuously with a step-down surface portion 13 and a step, and the finger insertion recess 14 is formed. Is formed so as to be continuous to the outer peripheral wall of the lid 3 via the ascending inclined portion.

A small lid 7 is continuously provided in a portion of the lid 3 opposite to the finger insertion recess 14, and the small lid 7 is tightly fitted so as to sandwich the surrounding wall 13 so that the inside of the surrounding wall 13 is airtight. A double fitting wall 15 to be in a state is formed. By closing the small lid 7, the fitting wall 15 fits tightly to the surrounding wall 13, and the inside of the surrounding wall 13 becomes airtight, so that the wet tissue P contained in the container body 1 can be prevented from drying. It will be possible.

A spout support wall 9 is projected from the lower surface of the top plate 5 so as to surround the wet tissue insertion hole 6, and the spout 8 is locked and supported on the inner circumference of the lower end of the spout support wall 9. The protrusion 16 is provided.

A mouth plug 8 is fitted inside the mouth plug support wall 9 (a region surrounded by the mouth plug support wall 9) so as to close the wet tissue insertion hole 6.
The spout 8 has a pull-out hole 17 for pulling out the wet tissue, and a slit portion 18 is formed from the side surface thereof to the pull-out hole 17. The slit portion 18 is formed so that the slit portion 18 is closed and the drawer hole 17 is closed when the spout 8 is mounted in the spout support wall 9.

The spout 8 is made of a flexible elastic material, and has a hardness that allows the slit portion 18 to be easily expanded by pinching both sides of the spout end portions 19 facing each other with the slit portion 18 interposed therebetween. Specifically, the hardness of the spout 8 is preferably 40A to 70A in terms of shore hardness.
As the material of the spout 8, for example, any one of silicon rubber, butadiene rubber, ethylene propylene rubber, styrene rubber, polyethylene terephthalate rubber, urethane rubber, or a composite material of two or more of these can be used. Silicone rubber is particularly desirable from the viewpoint of durability and chemical resistance.

In this example, the spout 8 is formed in a disk shape, but the shape of the spout 8 is not particularly limited, and is appropriately changed according to the shape of the spout support wall 9. Further, in this example, the slit portion 18 is formed in a straight line, but may be curved or V-shaped, and when the spout 8 is mounted in the lid spout support wall 9. , The slit portion 18 may be closed.

In the present invention, the spout support wall 9 on which the spout 8 is mounted is provided with a notch 20 in a part of the circumferential direction (FIG. 3). The size of the notch 20 is related to the degree of locking to the spout 8, and the larger the notch 20, the lower the degree of locking to the spout 8. The size of the notch 20 is not particularly limited, but the spout 8 does not fall off in normal use, and the spout 8 can be easily removed by pushing the fingertip into the wet tissue insertion hole 6 from above. It is the size that can be done.

Specifically, the notch portion 20 has an outer end 18a and an inner side of the slit portion 18 with respect to the center point C of the spout support wall 9 in a state where the spout 8 is mounted in the spout support wall 9. When the position of the straight line L1 connecting the other ends 18b is 0 degrees, the width in the circumferential direction defined by the end edge 21 of the spout support wall 9 (between one end edge 21a and the other end edge 21b). ) Is in the range of +30 to +160 degrees and / or -30 to -160 degrees, and is one of the edge 21a on both sides of the spout support wall 9 defining the notch 20. It is preferable that the angle θ formed by the straight line L2 connecting the center point C and the straight line L3 connecting the other edge 21b and the center point C is 30 to 120 degrees (FIG. 4). In this example, the notch portion 20 has a width in the circumferential direction of +70 to +140 degrees, and the angle θ formed by the straight line L1 and the straight line L2 is 70 degrees.

In this example, the shape of the spout support wall 9 when viewed from the front is circular, but the shape of the spout support wall 9 may be non-circular, for example, elliptical or polygonal, and FIG. As shown in, it may be heart-shaped. In this way, by making the spout support wall 9 non-circular, while holding one spout end 19a inside the spout support wall 9, the other spout end 19b is pinched and the slit portion 18 It is possible to prevent one of the spout end portions 19a held in the spout support wall 9 from moving following the other spout end portion 19b when the mouthpiece is bent so as to spread the other. The work of locking the spout end portion 19b of the spout end 19b to the end edge 21 of the spout support wall 9 can be easily performed, and the work of inserting the wet tissue P into the pull-out hole 17 can be easily performed.

Further, in this example, one notch 20 is provided in the circumferential direction of the spout support wall 9, but a plurality of notches 20 may be provided in the circumferential direction, and as shown in FIG. 5, the notch 20 may be provided. 20 may be provided at two locations in the circumferential direction of the spout support wall 9.

Regarding the method of forming the notch portion 20, after forming the annular spout support wall 9, a part of the spout support wall 9 may be cut off to form the notch portion 20, or the notch portion 20 may be formed from the beginning. The spout support wall 9 may be integrally formed with the lid 3 in the provided state.

In the wet tissue storage container of this example configured as described above, in order to make the wet tissue P in a state where it can be pulled out, the following is performed.
First, the lid 3 screwed into the container body 1 is rotated to remove it from the container body 1, and the small lid 7 of the lid 3 is opened to open the wet tissue insertion hole 6. Next, the fingertip is pushed into the wet tissue insertion hole 6 from above to remove the spout 8 mounted in the spout support wall 9.

At this time, since the notch portion 20 is provided in a part of the circumferential direction of the spout support wall 9, the inner surface of the spout support wall 9 and the side surface of the spout 8 are formed by the amount of the notch 20. Since the contact area is reduced and the frictional force between the inner surface of the spout support wall 9 and the side surface of the spout 8 is reduced, the spout 8 mounted in the spout support wall 9 can be easily removed. it can. Then, the spout ends 19a and 19b on both sides of the slit portion 18 of the spout 8 removed from the spout support wall 9 are picked to widen the slit portion 18, and the wet tissue P is inserted into the enlarged drawer hole 17 ( 6), the spout 8 is mounted in the spout support wall 9 so that the wet tissue P can be pulled out (FIG. 7).

As described above, according to this example, the spout 8 mounted in the spout support wall 9 can be easily removed by the notch 20 provided in a part of the circumferential direction of the spout support wall 9. Therefore, the work of inserting the wet tissue P into the pull-out hole 17 can be easily performed, and the wet tissue P can be easily pulled out.

Alternatively, as another method, the lid 3 is removed from the container body 1, and the spout 8 is attached to the spout support wall 9, and the spout end 19 facing the slit 18 is sandwiched. While holding one spout end 19a inside the spout support wall 9, the other spout end 19b is removed from the spout support wall 9, and the other spout end 19b is pinched to form a slit portion 18. The other bent end of the spout 19b is inserted into the notch 20, and the other end of the spout 19b is locked to the edge 21 of the spout support wall 9 (FIG. 8). As a result, the diameter of the outlet hole 17 of the spout 8 is expanded, and the wet tissue insertion hole 6 is exposed from the portion where the other mouth tip 19b is bent. Therefore, the wet tissue P is pulled out from the outlet hole 17 and the wet tissue insertion hole is exposed. After passing through 6, the other spout end 19b locked to the end edge 21 of the spout support wall 9 is returned to the inside of the spout support wall 9 to close the drawer hole 17, and the wet tissue P is pulled out. Make it possible (Fig. 7).

As described above, according to this example, as shown in FIG. 8, one spout end 19a is held in the spout support wall 9, and the other spout end 19b is inserted into the notch 20. By locking the end edge 21 of the spout support wall 9, the diameter of the outlet hole 17 of the spout 8 is expanded, and the wet tissue insertion hole 6 is exposed from the bent portion of the other mouth tip 19b. Therefore, the wet tissue P can be easily inserted into the pull-out hole 17 and the wet tissue insertion hole 6, and the wet tissue P can be easily pulled out.
