[0003] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2005-40331 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] When the sheet material storage member is box-shaped, like the paper towel storage box described above, a space is required to place the sheet material storage member, which can make it difficult to arrange the sheet material storage member.

[0005] An object of the present disclosure is to provide a sheet material storage member that does not require a space for placement and is easy to arrange. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] (1) A sheet material storage member according to the present disclosure is a sheet material storage member for storing a plurality of folded sheet materials. The sheet material storage member includes a bag portion that stores the plurality of sheet materials and has an opening through which at least one of the plurality of sheet materials is removed, and an extension portion that is continuous with the bag portion and extends upward from the bag portion. The extension portion has a hole through which a rod-shaped object that supports the sheet material storage member with the plurality of sheet materials stored inside the bag portion can be hooked.

[0007] This sheet material storage member has a bag portion and an extension portion, and multiple folded sheet materials are stored inside the bag portion. The bag portion has a take-out opening through which at least one of the multiple sheet materials is taken out. The extension portion extends upward from the bag portion and has a hole portion to which a rod-shaped object supporting the sheet material storage member can be hooked. Therefore, by hooking the rod-shaped object into the hole portion, the sheet material storage member can be hung by hanging it on the rod-shaped object. This eliminates the need for space to place the sheet material storage member. Furthermore, since the sheet material storage member can be hung by hooking the rod-shaped object into the hole portion anywhere a rod-shaped object is available, the sheet material storage member can be easily placed.

[0008] (2) In the above (1), the extending portion may have a plurality of holes aligned horizontally. In this case, since the plurality of holes are aligned horizontally in the extending portion, the sheet material storage member can be stably suspended by hooking a rod-shaped object into each of the plurality of holes. This makes it difficult for the sheet material storage member to tilt, making it easier to place the sheet material storage member.

[0009] (3) In the above (1) or (2), the removal opening may be formed on the lower side of the bag portion. However, if the removal opening is formed on the upper side, it may be difficult to remove the sheet material when the number of remaining sheet materials decreases. In contrast, if the removal opening is formed on the lower side of the bag portion, the sheet material can be easily removed from the lower side of the bag portion even when the number of remaining sheet materials decreases. [Effects of the Invention]

[0010] According to the present disclosure, it is possible to provide a sheet material storage member that does not require a space for placement and is easy to arrange. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[0011] [Figure 1] FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a sheet material storage member according to an embodiment. [Figure 2] FIG. 2 is a front view showing the sheet material storage member according to the embodiment. [Figure 3] FIG. 3 is a diagram showing the bottom surface of the sheet material storage member according to the embodiment. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0012] Hereinafter, an embodiment of a sheet material storage member according to the present disclosure will be described with reference to the drawings. In the description of the drawings, the same or corresponding elements are designated by the same reference numerals, and duplicate explanations will be omitted as appropriate. The drawings may be partially simplified or exaggerated for ease of understanding, and the dimensional proportions and the like are not limited to those shown in the drawings.

[0013] A "sheet material" is a sheet-like member that expands in two dimensions. Examples of "sheet material" include paper towels, dish paper, toilet paper, tissue paper, and nonwoven paper towels. In this embodiment, an example will be described in which the "sheet material" is paper towels. "Paper towels" refer to disposable paper towels used in kitchens, bathrooms, or toilets. A "sheet material storage member" is a member that stores sheet materials. A "paper towel storage member" is a member that stores paper towels.

[0014] FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a paper towel storage member 1 according to an embodiment. The paper towel storage member 1 is an example of a sheet material storage member. As shown in FIG. 1, the paper towel storage member 1 is designed to be hangable. The paper towel storage member 1 is bag-shaped. The paper towel storage member 1 stores paper towels P, which are a plurality of folded sheet materials. Inside the paper towel storage member 1, a plurality of paper towels P are stacked in a folded state.

[0015] Inside the paper towel storage member 1, a plurality of paper towels P are stacked, with each paper towel P folded in half and half of another paper towel P sandwiched between the folded halves. This allows the paper towels P to be taken out one by one from a take-out opening 3d formed at the bottom of the paper towel storage member 1.

[0016] The paper towel storage member 1 is made of, for example, a soft material. In this case, the paper towel storage member 1 can be easily deformed, and the weight of the paper towel storage member 1 can be reduced, making it possible to easily discard the paper towel storage member 1 after the paper towels P are used up. The paper towel storage member 1 is formed by folding and joining a sheet material 5 made of a soft material.

[0017] The paper towel storage member 1 is made of, for example, vinyl chloride resin. The paper towel storage member 1 may also be made of at least one of polyethylene and polypropylene. The material of the paper towel storage member 1 is not particularly limited. The paper towel storage member 1 may be, for example, transparent or translucent. In this case, the remaining amount of paper towels P inside the paper towel storage member 1 can be easily ascertained. However, the paper towel storage member 1 may also be opaque.

[0018] The paper towel storage member 1 includes a bag portion 3 that stores a plurality of paper towels P therein, and an extension portion 4 that extends upward from the bag portion 3. The plurality of paper towels P are stacked in a folded state inside the bag portion 3. For example, the bag portion 3 has a rectangular parallelepiped shape when the plurality of paper towels P are stacked inside the bag portion 3.

[0019] 2 is a front view of the paper towel storage member 1. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the bag portion 3 has multiple long sides 3b extending in the vertical direction D1 and multiple short sides 3c extending in a first direction D2, which is the horizontal direction. When paper towels P are stored inside the bag portion 3, the bag portion 3 has a thickness in a second direction D3 that intersects both the vertical direction D1 and the first direction D2. For example, when viewed along the second direction D3, the paper towel storage member 1 has a rectangular shape.

[0020] The extension portion 4 is continuous with the bag portion 3 and extends upward from the bag portion 3. The extension portion 4 has an inverted V-shaped inclined portion 4b when viewed in the first direction D2, and a joint portion 4c located above the inclined portion 4b. In the inclined portion 4b, the thickness (length in the second direction D3) of the paper towel storage member 1 decreases upward.

[0021] The inclined portion 4b has a first sheet portion 4d extending obliquely upward from the upper end of the bag portion 3, and a second sheet portion 4f extending obliquely upward from the upper end of the bag portion 3 on the opposite side of the first sheet portion 4d as viewed from the joint portion 4c. The first sheet portion 4d and the second sheet portion 4f are each composed of two sheets of sheet material 5. The first sheet portion 4d and the second sheet portion 4f are part of the sheet material 5. The first sheet portion 4d and the second sheet portion 4f extend obliquely with respect to the vertical direction D1.

[0022] The joint 4c is a portion where the first sheet portion 4d and the second sheet portion 4f arranged along the second direction D3 are joined together. The joint 4c is a portion where a plurality of sheet materials 5 are joined together. At the joint 4c, the plurality of sheet materials 5 are joined together by, for example, heat sealing.

[0023] The joint portion 4c has, for example, a plurality of heat-sealed portions 4p. At the heat-sealed portions 4p, a plurality of sheet materials 5 are joined together by heat sealing. The heat-sealed portions 4p have, for example, a polygonal shape (a rectangular shape, for example). The plurality of heat-sealed portions 4p are lined up along the vertical direction D1 and the first direction D2. That is, the plurality of heat-sealed portions 4p are arranged in a lattice pattern at the joint portion 4c.

[0024] When viewed in the second direction D3, the joint 4c has a rectangular shape. The joint 4c has a pair of long sides 4g extending in the first direction D2 and a pair of short sides 4h extending in the vertical direction D1. The extension 4 has a hole 4j onto which a rod-shaped member S supporting the paper towel storage member 1 with a plurality of paper towels P stored inside the bag portion 3 is hooked. The hole 4j penetrates the extension 4 in the second direction D3.

[0025] The rod-shaped body S is, for example, a hook fixed to the wall W. In this case, the paper towel storage member 1 can be hung on the wall W by passing the hook fixed to the wall W through the hole 4j. However, the rod-shaped body S is not limited to a hook fixed to the wall W, and the type of rod-shaped body S is not particularly limited as long as it can be hooked into the hole 4j, such as one that extends in a U-shape, V-shape, or J-shape in the air.

[0026] The extending portion 4 (joint portion 4c) has, for example, a central portion 4k where two sheet materials 5 are joined together, and a pair of end portions 4m where four sheet materials 5 are joined together. The pair of end portions 4m are aligned along the first direction D2, and the central portion 4k is located between the pair of end portions 4m.

[0027] At both end portions 4m, two sheet materials 5 are folded back toward the center in the first direction D2 of the paper towel storage member 1, and the four folded sheet materials 5 aligned in the second direction D3 are joined together. At the center portion 4k, two sheet materials 5 are joined together, and at both end portions 4m, four sheet materials 5 are joined together. Therefore, the thickness of both end portions 4m (the length in the second direction D3) is greater than the thickness of the center portion 4k.

[0028] For example, the hole 4j is circular. In this case, the hole 4j has no corners, so that tearing of the hole 4j can be suppressed. However, the shape of the hole 4j is not particularly limited. When the hole 4j is circular, the diameter of the hole 4j is, for example, 3 mm or more and 30 mm or less. However, the value of the diameter of the hole 4j is not limited to the above example and can be changed as appropriate.

[0029] The extension portion 4 has a plurality of holes 4j aligned along the first direction D2. For example, the extension portion 4 has three holes 4j. For example, the plurality of holes 4j include a central hole 4q located at the center of the extension portion 4 in the first direction D2 and a pair of end holes 4r located at both ends of the extension portion 4 in the first direction D2.

[0030] For example, the central hole 4q is formed in the central portion 4k, and the end holes 4r are formed in both end portions 4m. In this case, the central hole 4q penetrates two sheets 5, and the end holes 4r penetrate four sheets 5. However, the end holes 4r may be formed at the ends of the central portion 4k in the first direction D2. In this case, since the end holes 4r penetrate two sheets 5, it is easier to form the end holes 4r.

[0031] The extension 4 has a finger hole 4s through which a finger is inserted to lift the paper towel container 1. For example, the area of ​​the finger hole 4s is larger than the area of ​​the hole 4j. As an example, the finger hole 4s is defined by a straight portion 4t extending in the vertical direction D1 at a position opposite the central hole 4q, and curved portions 4v extending in a C-shape from the upper and lower ends of the straight portion 4t to both ends of the extension 4 in the first direction D2.

[0032] For example, the extension portion 4 has multiple (for example, two) finger holes 4s. In this case, the paper towel storage member 1 can be easily carried by inserting multiple fingers into the multiple finger holes 4s. The multiple finger holes 4s are aligned along the first direction D2. For example, a hole 4j (a central hole 4q) is formed between the multiple finger holes 4s. For example, a finger hole 4s is formed between the multiple hole portions 4j (a pair of end hole portions 4r). However, the positional relationship between the hole portions 4j and the finger holes 4s is not limited to the above example and can be changed as appropriate.

[0033] As shown in FIGS. 1 and 3, the bag portion 3 has a removal opening 3d through which at least one of the plurality of paper towels P is removed. FIG. 3 is a diagram schematically showing a lower portion 3f of the bag portion 3. The removal opening 3d is formed on the underside of the bag portion 3. The lower portion 3f is located on the opposite side of the bag portion 3 from the extension portion 4. The lower portion 3f has, for example, a rectangular shape. The lower portion 3f faces vertically downward when the paper towel storage member 1 is suspended from the rod-shaped body S. The lower portion 3f has a pair of long sides 3g extending in a first direction D2 and a pair of short sides 3h extending in a second direction D3.

[0034] For example, the dispensing opening 3d is closed by a sealing portion 3j before the paper towel P is dispensed from the paper towel storage member 1. The sealing portion 3j is a region surrounded by a cutting line 3k formed on the lower portion 3f. The sealing portion 3j is cut along the cutting line 3k when the paper towel P is dispensed from the paper towel storage member 1. The dispensing opening 3d is formed by cutting the sealing portion 3j along the cutting line 3k.

[0035] For example, the tear line 3k (access opening 3d, sealing portion 3j) is oval in shape with a major axis extending in the first direction D2 and a minor axis extending in the second direction D3. In this case, the sealing portion 3j can be easily torn off, for example, from the end in the first direction D2. For example, the bag portion 3 has multiple tear lines 3k.

[0036] For example, multiple cut lines 3k are arranged along the second direction D3. As an example, when viewed from a reference line X that passes through the center of the lower portion 3f and extends along the first direction D2, cut lines 3k are formed on both sides of the second direction D3. In this case, any one of the two cut lines 3k can be cut off to form the removal opening 3d, and when the paper towel storage member 1 is hung on the rod-shaped body S, the removal opening 3d can be directed toward the front side of the second direction D3 (for example, the side opposite the wall W). This makes it even easier to remove the paper towels P from the removal opening 3d.

[0037] Next, an example of how to use the paper towel container 1 will be described. For example, the paper towel container 1 may be a product that is sold with the perforation line 3k not cut off. In this case, for example, the paper towel container 1 is purchased. At this time, the paper towel container 1 may be carried by inserting a finger through the finger hole 4s of the paper towel container 1.

[0038] Next, the rod S is passed through the holes 4j, thereby suspending the paper towel storage member 1 from the rod S. At this time, the rod S may be passed through one hole 4j (for example, the central hole 4q), or the rod S may be passed through each of multiple holes 4j (for example, two end holes 4r). Note that the paper towel storage member 1 can be suspended more stably when the rod S is passed through each of multiple holes 4j than when the rod S is passed through one hole 4j.

[0039] Further, the cutting line 3k is cut out to form the outlet 3d. The outlet 3d may be formed after the paper towel storage member 1 is hung on the rod-shaped body S, or may be formed before the paper towel storage member 1 is hung on the rod-shaped body S. After the outlet 3d is formed, the paper towels P are sequentially taken out from the outlet 3d. After all the paper towels P have been taken out of the paper towel storage member 1, for example, the paper towel storage member 1 is discarded. Through the above steps, the series of steps in the method for using the paper towel storage member 1 is completed.

[0040] Next, the effects obtained from the paper towel storage member 1 according to this embodiment will be described. The paper towel storage member 1 has a bag portion 3 and an extending portion 4, and a plurality of folded paper towels P are stored inside the bag portion 3. The bag portion 3 has an outlet 3d, through which at least one of the plurality of paper towels P is taken out. The extending portion 4 extends upward from the bag portion 3 and has a hole 4j through which the rod-shaped member S that supports the paper towel storage member 1 is hooked.

[0041] Therefore, by hooking the rod-shaped body S into the hole 4j, the paper towel storage member 1 can be hung by hanging it on the rod-shaped body S. This eliminates the need for space to place the paper towel storage member 1. Furthermore, wherever the rod-shaped body S is located, the paper towel storage member 1 can be hung by hooking the rod-shaped body S into the hole 4j, making the paper towel storage member 1 easy to place.

[0042] In this embodiment, the extending portion 4 has a plurality of holes 4j aligned horizontally (first direction D2). In this case, since the plurality of holes 4j are aligned horizontally in the extending portion 4, the paper towel storage member 1 can be stably suspended by hooking a rod-shaped object S into each of the plurality of holes 4j. This makes it difficult for the paper towel storage member 1 to tilt, making it easier to position the paper towel storage member 1.

[0043] In this embodiment, the removal opening 3d is formed on the lower side of the bag portion 3. However, if the removal opening 3d is formed on the upper side of the bag portion 3, it may be difficult to remove the paper towels P when the number of remaining paper towels P decreases. In contrast, if the removal opening 3d is formed on the lower side of the bag portion 3, the paper towels P can be easily removed from the lower side of the bag portion 3 even when the number of remaining paper towels P decreases.

[0044] The above describes an embodiment of the paper towel storage member according to the present disclosure. However, the paper towel storage member according to the present disclosure is not limited to the above embodiment and may be modified within the scope of the gist described in the claims. In other words, the shape, size, material, number, and arrangement of each part of the paper towel storage member may be changed as appropriate within the scope of the gist described above.

[0045] In the above-described embodiment, an example has been described in which the sheet material is paper towels P and the sheet material storage member is a paper towel storage member 1. However, the sheet material may be a sheet material other than paper towels P. For example, the sheet material may be dish paper or sheet-type toilet paper. Furthermore, the sheet material may be made of a material other than paper. For example, the sheet material may be made of nonwoven fabric or resin, and the material of the sheet material is not particularly limited. [Explanation of symbols]
