Wiping article

Abstract

A wiping article that has excellent portability and, when necessary, that can be set to a wet state for use. The wiping article is formed by compressing a sheet material, which has a shape and size that can be used for hand wiping etc., into a small size and receiving it in a pack. The pack (11) has a flat structure, and the inside of the pack is partitioned into at least two chambers (12, 13) by a partition belt. The partition belt can seal liquid (17) in and has strength and structure that lead to breakage of the belt under pressure exceeding a predetermined level. The sheet material (10) is compressed and formed into a shape and size that can be used for hand wiping etc. when the liquid is impregnated into the material to swell and expand it. The sheet material is placed in one (12) of the two chambers of the pack, and the liquid that is impregnated into the sheet material to swell it when the partition belt is broken is placed in the other chamber (13).

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD[0001]The present invention relates to a wiping article having a configuration in which a sheet material having a shape and a size which allow usage as a hand towel or the like is compressed compactly and stored in a pack.BACKGROUND ART[0002]A wash cloth, a wet napkin, a wet towel or the like have various appellations, and there are commercial products used for a common purpose of wiping various parts of a body such as hands or a face or the like, and these products may be considered as the wiping articles of the same family. These products include those produced by impregnating a nonwoven fabric cut into a finite form with moisture content and packaging individually in a plastic film bag, or those formed continuously with perforated lines or the like at a regular pitch and filled in a container so as to allow the same to be pulled out from a port thereof. Since the wiping article of this type is in a state to be ready to use immediately, it is in a large and volumino...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

[0023]Since the present invention is configured and acts as described above, the invention achieves an advantage such that the wiping article which is compact and is superior in portability, is able to be maintained in the dry state until the time of use, and is able to be expanded when necessary for use in a wet state is provided. Also, the present invention has an advantage that the wiping article having the structure such that the interior of the pack is separated into two chambers by the breakable separating band, in which the separating band is broken adequately and relatively easily to cause the sheet material in one of the two divided portions in the interior to be impregnated with the liquid in the other portion and cause the same to be expanded is provided, since the breaking force inducing portion is formed and the easy-breaking portion formed of the separating band is arranged at the distal end portion of the above-describe

Problems solved by technology

Since the wiping article of this type is in a state to be ready to use immediately, it is in a large and voluminous packaging form, and hence there is a problem of portability.

Also, since the material such as the nonwoven fabric is in a state of being in contact with the moisture content for a long time, there is a problem of expiration date for use and there is also a possibility of alteration.

Therefore, in addition to the existence of the problems as described above, there is a problem such t
