Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a storage container and a lid thereof. [Background technology]

[0002] Conventionally, a so-called bottle-type wet tissue storage container has been widely known, which comprises a container body for storing a roll of wet tissues with easy-to-tear sections formed at predetermined intervals in the longitudinal direction, and a lid body that is removably fitted into the opening of the container body, with a pull-out hole in the lid body for pulling out the wet tissues, and the easy-to-tear sections are cut by frictional resistance between the pull-out hole and the wet tissue, allowing the wet tissues to be pulled out one by one.

[0003] For example, an example of a container for storing a roll of wet tissues with perforations formed at predetermined intervals in the longitudinal direction of the sheet body is the container described in Patent Document 1. The container in Patent Document 1 has a separation opening formed on the top surface of the container for pulling out and separating the wet tissues, and a cross-shaped or other cut is provided around the separation opening.

[0004] In such a bottle-shaped storage container, when the roll of wet tissues inside is used up, it is necessary to remove the lid from the top of the storage container in order to replenish a new roll. Generally, when removing the lid, the body of the storage container and the lid are grasped and twisted, or the lid is removed by hooking it onto a removal tab provided on the lid, but some users try to remove the lid by pulling the cap part of the lid (the part that covers the removal part), which can break the hinge part of the lid.

[0006] SUMMARY OF THE PRESENT DISCLOSURE In view of the above problems with the prior art, an object of the present invention is to provide a storage container and its lid which are less likely to break by increasing the strength of the hinge portion. [Means for solving the problem]

[0007] One aspect of the present invention is a storage container comprising a container body that stores a roll body having perforations formed at predetermined intervals in the longitudinal direction of the sheet body, and a lid body attached to the upper surface of the container body, wherein the lid body has a removal portion located on the upper surface of the lid body and a cap portion provided on the upper surface of the lid body so as to be able to open and close the removal portion via a hinge, the lid body being rectangular in plan view, the connection point between the hinge and the upper surface of the lid body being located inside the upper surface, and the longitudinal direction of the cap portion being oriented diagonally relative to each side that constitutes the edge of the lid body.

[0008] In this case, in one aspect of the present invention, the longitudinal direction of the cap portion may be the same as one of the diagonals of the lid body in a plan view.

[0009] Another aspect of the present invention is a lid for a storage container which has at least a removal portion located on the top surface and a cap portion on the top surface which is capable of opening and closing the removal portion via a hinge, and which is rectangular in plan view, the connection point between the hinge and the top surface being located inside the top surface, and the longitudinal direction of the cap portion being oriented diagonally with respect to each side that constitutes the edge of the lid.

[0010] In this case, in one aspect of the present invention, the longitudinal direction of the cap portion may be the same as one of the diagonals of the lid body in a plan view. Effect of the Invention

[0011] According to the present invention, the strength of the hinge portion can be increased to provide a storage container and its lid that are less likely to be damaged. [Brief description of the drawings]

[0012] [Figure 1] FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing an example of a conventional storage container. [Diagram 2] FIG. 2 is a plan view showing a lid according to an embodiment of the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0013] The storage container and its lid according to the present invention will be described in detail below. Note that the present invention is not limited to the following examples, and can be modified as desired without departing from the gist of the present invention.

[0014] Fig. 1 is a perspective view showing an example of a conventional storage container. The storage container 100 is a so-called bottle-shaped storage container that stores a roll of sheet-like material 5 such as wet tissues, with perforations formed in the longitudinal direction of the sheet at intervals corresponding to the amount of material to be used in one go. The roll of sheet-like material 5 stored in the storage container 100 is made of a base fabric such as paper or nonwoven fabric impregnated with liquid such as water, alcohol, disinfectant, preservative, and fragrance depending on the intended use, and the perforations are formed in the longitudinal direction of the sheet-like material 5 at intervals corresponding to the amount of material to be used in one go.

[0015] While some storage containers 100 are generally cylindrical in shape, the present invention is applicable to storage containers 100 that are generally prismatic in shape, such as a square or rectangular shape when viewed from above, as shown in Fig. 1. The present invention provides a storage container that is less likely to break by increasing the strength of the hinge portion through ingenious arrangement of removal portion 21 and cap portion 23 in such a storage container having a rectangular shape when viewed from above.

[0016] The storage container 100 comprises a container body 10 for storing a roll of wet tissues or the like, and a lid body 20 attached to the upper surface of the container body 10. As described above, the container body 10 is in a generally rectangular column shape with an opening on the upper surface, and is formed to a height sufficient to store the roll. The lid body 20 attached to the container body 10 is a lid member that closes the opening at the top of the container body 10, and is fitted to the container body 10.

[0017] The lid body 20 has a removal section 21 for removing wet tissues at approximately the center of its upper surface, and a cap section 23 rotatably provided on the upper surface of the lid body 20 via a hinge 22 so as to open and close the removal section 21. As an example, the lid body 20 has a recess 31 for storing the cap section 23 formed approximately at the center of the upper surface of the lid body 20. The recess 31 is formed to match the shape of the cap section 23, and is approximately rectangular in the example of Fig. 1. A first annular wall section 32 is formed to rise approximately at the center of the recess 31, and the removal section 21 for removing wet tissues is formed inside the first annular wall section 32.

[0018] The cap portion 23 that opens and closes the removal portion 21 has, for example, a thin plate shape as shown in Fig. 1, and is provided on the upper surface of the lid body 20 so as to be rotatable via a hinge 22. The hinge 22 is molded integrally with the lid body 20 by injection molding or the like using a thermoplastic resin, and is formed linearly and thinly. Alternatively, the hinge 22 may be formed separately from the cap portion 23, and may be provided so as to be rotatably supported by a rotating shaft.

[0019] The cap part 23, which opens and closes the removal part 21, is stored with a gap between it and the recess 31 when it is closed. A finger hook 33 is formed on the free end side of the cap part 23, and when the cap part 23 closes the removal part 21, a gap is formed between the lid body 20 and the finger hook 33 of the cap part 23 for a user to hook his / her finger when opening and closing. In addition, the length of the cap part 23 in the longitudinal direction (the length from the base of the hinge 22 to the tip of the finger hook 33) is formed to be approximately the same as the length of one side of the lid body 20, for example, as shown in FIG. 1.

[0020] In addition, a second annular wall portion 34 is formed rising from the back surface of the cap portion 23 facing the removal portion 21. When the cap portion 23 closes the removal portion 21, the second annular wall portion 34 fits with the outer peripheral surface of the first annular wall portion 32 formed around the removal portion 21. As a result, when the cap portion 23 closes the removal portion 21, the outer peripheral surface of the first annular wall portion 32 and the inner peripheral surface of the second annular wall portion 34 fit together to form a tight seal, and the liquid impregnated in the wet tissues stored in the storage container 100 can be prevented from volatilizing.

[0021] In the storage container and its lid according to the present invention, the components of the container body 10 and the lid 20 are the same as those of the conventional storage container 100. Next, the differences between the storage container and its lid according to the present invention and the conventional storage container will be described.

[0022] 2 is a plan view showing the characteristics of a lid according to one embodiment of the present invention. One aspect of the present invention is a storage container 1 including a container body 10 that stores a roll of a sheet body having perforations formed at predetermined intervals in the longitudinal direction of the sheet body, and a lid body 20 attached to the upper surface of the container body 10, the lid body 20 including a removal section 21 located on the upper surface of the lid body 20 and a cap section 23 provided on the upper surface of the lid body 20 so as to be able to open and close the removal section 21 via a hinge 22, the lid body 20 being rectangular in plan view, the connection point between the hinge 22 and the upper surface of the lid body 20 being located inside the upper surface, and the longitudinal direction D of the cap section 23 being oblique to each side constituting the edge section 24 of the lid body.

[0023] In the conventional storage container 100, as shown in Fig. 1, the hinge 22 is installed on the edge of the lid 20, and as described above, when the user pulls the cap 23 strongly, the hinge 22 may tear, and the strength is not sufficient. In contrast, in the present invention, as shown in Fig. 2, the removal part 21 and the cap 23 of the lid 20 are arranged in an oblique direction, so that the connection part of the hinge 22 can be arranged inside the lid 20, and the strength of the hinge part can be increased to make the storage container less likely to break. In the present invention, the longitudinal direction D of the cap 23 is obliquely oriented with respect to each side constituting the edge 24 of the lid means, for example, a mode in which an imaginary line indicating the longitudinal direction D of the cap 23 intersects with one side of the edge 24 of the lid at an angle θ (0°<θ<90°) as shown in Fig. 2.

[0024] Furthermore, according to the present invention, by arranging the removal portion 21 and the cap portion 23 of the lid body 20 in an oblique direction, the length over which the removal portion 21 is arranged can be made longer, so that the removal portion 21 and the cap portion 23 can be designed to be the same size as those arranged in the conventional storage container 100, and the hinge 22 can be designed to be arranged inside the lid body 20.

[0025] In one embodiment of the present invention, it is preferable that the longitudinal direction D of the cap portion 23 is the same direction as one of the diagonals C in the plan view of the lid body 20. The longitudinal direction D of the cap portion 23 being the same direction as one of the diagonals C in the plan view of the lid body 20 means that, for example, as shown in Fig. 2, the diagonal C in the plan view of the lid body 20 and the longitudinal direction D of the cap portion 23 are approximately parallel. In this case, the longitudinal space of the cap portion 23 can be maximized, and therefore the removal portion 21 and the hinge 22 can be disposed further inside the lid body 20.

[0026] As described above, according to the present invention, it is possible to realize a storage container and its lid which are less likely to break by increasing the strength of the hinge portion.

[0027] Although one embodiment of the present invention and each example have been described in detail above, it will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art that many modifications are possible without substantially departing from the novel features and effects of the present invention. Therefore, all such modifications are intended to be included within the scope of the present invention.

[0028] For example, a term described at least once in the specification or drawings together with a different term having a broader or similar meaning may be replaced with that different term anywhere in the specification or drawings. In addition, the configurations of the container and its lid are not limited to those described in the embodiment and examples of the present invention, and various modifications are possible.
