Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] This disclosure relates to a wet wipe storage container. [Background technology]

[0002] Bottle-type wet wipe products dispense the wipe sheets through an opening in the cap of the container. The opening in the cap is designed to allow for the dispensing of one sheet at a time by appropriately balancing the frictional resistance of the sheet at the opening with the strength of the perforations on the sheet.

[0003] Conventional technology includes caps with integrated dispensing openings, which are molded from PP (polypropylene) or PE (polyethylene) resin and have dispensing openings formed within the cap itself. Furthermore, products are known that use a separate part, such as an elastomer with a sheet dispensing opening, as part of the cap to improve sheet dispensing (for example, Patent Document 1). [Prior art documents] [Patent Documents]

[0004] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Publication No. 2016-216116 [Overview of the project] [Problems that the invention aims to solve]

[0005] When a separate part with a sheet dispensing opening is used, as in the container described in Patent Document 1, there are problems such as increased manufacturing costs and the possibility of the separate part coming off and rendering the container unusable. For this reason, there is a demand to improve the ease of dispensing the sheet from a cap with an integrated dispensing opening (hereinafter referred to as "sheet dispensing ease").

[0006] However, if the cap with an integrated dispenser is made of a hard material, it becomes difficult to set the sheet in the dispenser. In addition, the frictional resistance of the sheet at the dispenser is high, making it difficult to pull out the sheet, and there are problems such as the liquid from the wet wipe being squeezed out and remaining inside the container.

[0007] On the other hand, if the material of the cap integrated with the dispensing opening is simply made softer, there is a possibility that sheets may come out continuously when dispensing them. Also, if the small lid of the cap that seals the dispensing opening becomes too soft, it may be difficult to close properly, the small lid may bend when closed, reducing the airtight seal, and the small lid may bend and difficult to open. Furthermore, the strength of the hinge part that supports the small lid may be weak, making the hinge part prone to breakage, and the small lid may become unstable, making it difficult to close the small lid in the correct position. If the small lid is made smaller to solve these problems, the volume of the part that stores the next sheet will be reduced, making it easier for the next sheet to get caught in the small lid. If the material of the cap integrated with the dispensing opening is too soft, the durability of the dispensing opening will decrease.

[0008] Therefore, the present disclosure aims to provide a wet wipe storage container that ensures sheet removal while minimizing a decrease in the usability of the small lid, even with a cap that has an integrated dispensing opening. [Means for solving the problem]

[0009] To solve the above problems, a first aspect of the present invention provides a wet wipe storage container comprising a bottomed cylindrical container body that partitions a space capable of storing wet wipes, and a cap that is detachably attached to close the opening of the container body, wherein the cap is made of polyethylene and integrally comprises a main body portion having an opening for taking out the wet wipes, and a small lid that is tiltably supported on the main body portion via a hinge portion and can open and close the opening, and the thickness of the part of the main body portion that partitions the opening is The main body is thinner than the thickness of the adjacent area adjacent to the outlet periphery, and the main body has an annular main body side wall portion that is arranged to surround the outlet and stands upright toward the outside, and the small lid has a small lid body that covers the outlet when closed, and two annular small lid side wall portions that protrude from the surface of the small lid body that faces the outlet when closed, and the two small lid side wall portions are a first small lid side wall portion that has a smaller diameter than the main body side wall portion and a second small lid side wall portion that has a larger diameter than the main body side wall portion and is arranged to surround the first small lid side wall portion, and sandwiches the main body side wall portion when closed.

[0018] <Wet wipe storage container> As shown in Figure 1, the wet wipe storage container 10 according to this embodiment comprises a bottomed cylindrical container body 20 that partitions a space capable of storing wet wipes 1, and a cap 30 that is detachably attached to close the opening 20a (see Figure 2) of the container body 20. The wet wipes 1 stored in the container body 20 are made of a base fabric such as paper or nonwoven fabric that has been pre-impregnated with a liquid containing lotion, alcohol components, disinfectants, preservatives, etc. The wet wipes 1 are stored in the container body 20 in the same axial direction as the axial direction of the container body 20 in the state of being wound into a roll 1R (see Figure 2). The wet wipes 1 have perforations formed at predetermined intervals in the longitudinal direction (circumferential direction of the roll 1R) and extending along the width direction (axial direction of the roll 1R) (not shown). In the following description, each sheet partitioned by the perforations of the wet wipes 1 may be simply referred to as a "sheet".

[0019] <Container body> As shown in Figure 2, the container body 20 is formed in a bottomed cylindrical shape with an opening 20a formed at its upper end. In this embodiment, the container body 20 is formed in a bottomed cylindrical shape with a circular cross-section. A male threaded portion 21 for attaching the cap 30 is formed on the outer circumferential surface of the upper end of the container body 20. The container body 20 is molded using a thermoplastic resin such as polypropylene, polyethylene, polyvinyl chloride, or ABS resin by blow molding or injection molding (in this embodiment, injection molding). In this embodiment, the container body 20 has a circular cross-section, but is not limited to this, and for example, the container body 20 may have a rectangular cross-section. In this case, an engaging portion for attaching the cap 30 by snapping it on may be provided at the upper end of the container body 20.

[0020] <Cap> As shown in Figures 3 to 5, the cap 30 is a polyethylene cap and integrally comprises a cap body (main body) 31 having an opening 38 for taking out the wet wipes 1, and a small lid 32 that is tiltably supported on the cap body 31 via a hinge 47 and can open and close the opening 38.

[0021] (Cap body) The cap body portion 31 has a top plate 33 and a mounting portion 34 that extends downward from the outer peripheral edge of the top plate 33 and is attached to the container body 20. In this embodiment, the cap body portion 31 has a top plate 33 that is circular in top view and a substantially cylindrical mounting portion 34.

[0022] (Mounting part) As shown in Figure 5, a female threaded portion 35 is formed on the inner circumferential surface of the mounting portion 34 of the cap body portion 31, which can be screwed onto the male threaded portion 21 of the container body 20. The cap 30 and the container body 20 are detachably attached to each other by screwing the female threaded portion 35 of the cap body portion 31 and the male threaded portion 21 of the container body 20 together. Note that the method of attaching the cap 30 and the container body 20 is not limited to screwing the female threaded portion 35 and the male threaded portion 21 together. For example, a locking recess extending in the circumferential direction may be provided on one of the mounting portion 34 of the cap body portion 31 and the upper end of the container body 20, and a locking projection extending in the circumferential direction may be provided on the other, and the cap 30 and the container body 20 may be detachably attached by fitting the locking recess and the locking projection together.

[0023] (Tabletop) The top plate 33 of the cap body 31 is a plate portion that intersects the vertical direction and faces the bottom surface of the container body 20 when the cap 30 is attached to the container body 20. The top plate 33 has a stepped surface portion 36 that is recessed downward and lower than the surrounding area. In this embodiment, the stepped surface portion 36 is located in the radially inner region of the top plate 33. An arc-shaped surrounding wall 37 is erected around the outer circumference of the stepped surface portion 36. The side of the surrounding wall 37 on which the hinge portion 47 of the small lid 32 is provided is partially lower and is formed in a straight line along the axis (hinge axis) direction of the hinge portion 47. The side of the surrounding wall 37 opposite to the hinge portion 47 of the small lid 32 is open radially outward. In this embodiment, the center of the arc-shaped surrounding wall 37 is offset from the center of the top plate 33 towards the hinge portion 47 of the small lid 32, which will be described later. Alternatively, the center of the arc-shaped surrounding wall 37 may be concentric with the center of the top plate 33.

[0024] (Outlet) As shown in Figures 4 to 6, an opening 38 for dispensing wet wipes 1 is formed in the stepped surface portion 36. That is, the cap 30 is an integrated opening type cap 30 that has the opening 38 integrally. The opening 38 in this embodiment is positioned approximately in the center of the top plate 33. The shape of the opening 38 is not particularly limited, but it is preferably a radial shape composed of a central small hole 38a and a plurality (four in this embodiment) of slits 38b extending radially outward from the small hole 38a.

[0025] The diameter of the small hole 38a in the center of the dispensing opening 38 is preferably 3.0 mm or more and 4.0 mm or less. If the diameter of the small hole 38a is smaller than 3.0 mm, the small hole 38a will be too small, increasing the frictional resistance with the wet wipe 1, which may make it difficult to pull out the sheet. On the other hand, if the diameter of the small hole 38a is larger than 4.0 mm, the small hole 38a will be too large, decreasing the frictional resistance with the wet wipe 1, which may prevent the wet wipe 1 from being torn at the perforations when dispensing the sheet, potentially causing multiple sheets to come out in a row.

[0026] The length of the slit 38b of the outlet 38 is preferably 3 mm or more and 6 mm or less, and the width of the slit 38b is preferably 0.3 mm or more and 1.2 mm or less. By setting the length and width of the slit 38b within the above range, sheet removal can be ensured.

[0027] (Thickness around the outlet) As shown in Figures 5 and 6, the thickness t1 of the outlet peripheral portion 39 that demarcates the outlet 38 within the stepped surface portion 36 of the cap body portion 31 is thinner than the thickness t2 of the adjacent region 40 adjacent to the outlet peripheral portion 39. The outlet peripheral portion 39 is a region that includes at least the part that demarcates the outlet 38 (the part that the wet wipe 1 that passes through the outlet 38 touches). In this embodiment, the outlet peripheral portion 39 is defined as a circular region within the stepped surface portion 36 that is radially inward from the circle surrounding the outlet 38 with the small hole 38a of the outlet 38 as the center (the circle shown by the dashed line c in Figure 4). In this embodiment, the thickness t1 of the outlet peripheral portion 39 is thinner than the thickness t2 of other regions of the stepped surface portion 36. In this embodiment, the upper surface of the stepped surface portion 36 of the outlet peripheral portion 39 and the adjacent region 40 are set to the same plane, and a step is provided on the lower surface of the stepped surface portion 36. In this embodiment, the area around the outlet 39 is defined as a circular region including the outlet 38, but it is not limited to this. For example, it may be defined as the inner region formed by connecting the outer ends of a plurality of slits 38b with straight lines.

[0028] The thickness t1 of the area around the dispensing opening 39 is preferably 0.5 mm or more and 1.0 mm or less. In this case, the thickness t2 of the adjacent area 40 is greater than 1.0 mm (for example, 1.5 mm). If the thickness t1 of the area around the dispensing opening 39 is less than 0.5 mm, the area around the dispensing opening 39 becomes too soft, making it impossible to tear the wet wipe 1 at the perforations when dispensing a sheet, potentially causing multiple sheets to come out in a row. Also, the durability of the area around the dispensing opening 39 decreases with repeated use. On the other hand, if the thickness t1 of the area around the dispensing opening 39 is greater than 1.0 mm, the area around the dispensing opening 39 becomes too hard, potentially making it difficult to pull out the sheets.

[0029] The area of ​​the outlet perimeter 39 is 100 mm². 2 500mm or more 2 The following is preferable: The area of ​​the outlet periphery 39 should be 100 mm². 2 If the size is made smaller than this, the area around the opening 39 may become too hard, making it difficult to pull out the sheet. On the other hand, if the area of ​​the area around the opening 39 is 500 mm 2If the size is made larger, the area around the dispensing opening 39 becomes too soft, making it impossible to tear the wet wipe 1 at the perforations when dispensing the sheet, potentially causing multiple sheets to come out in a row.

[0030] (Main body side wall) Around the outlet 38 on the upper surface of the stepped surface portion 36, an annular body side wall portion 41 is provided that extends circumferentially while standing upright upward. That is, the cap body portion 31 has an annular body side wall portion 41 that is arranged to surround the outlet 38 and stands upright toward the outside (upward). The body side wall portion 41 is a circular wall portion that is positioned radially inward from the arc-shaped surrounding wall 37 and is positioned to be approximately concentric with the center of the arc-shaped surrounding wall 37. That is, the center of the body side wall portion 41 in this embodiment is biased toward the hinge portion 47 of the small lid 32, which will be described later, than toward the center of the top plate 33 (center of the outlet 38). The body side wall portion 41 is formed to be larger in diameter than the outlet peripheral portion 39 and is positioned radially outward from the outlet peripheral portion 39.

[0031] (Thick part) Preferably, the main body side wall portion 41 has a thickened portion 41a in a part thereof, which is thickened both radially outward and inward. In this embodiment, the thickened portion 41a is provided on the main body side wall portion 41 at a position directly opposite to the hinge portion 47 side of the small lid 32, which will be described later. Preferably, the thickness of the thickened portion 41a is slightly thicker than the minimum dimension between the two small lid side wall portions 45 and 46 of the small lid 32, which will be described later. Note that on the top plate 33, there is no surrounding wall 37 at a position directly opposite to the hinge portion 47 side of the small lid 32, which will be described later, and the stepped surface portion 36 extends to the outer edge of the top plate 33.

[0032] (Storage space for the seats) On the inner side in the radial direction of the main body side wall portion 41, when the small lid 32 described later is closed, a storage space 42 for storing the next sheet (see FIG. 1) pulled out from the outlet 38 is partitioned. The lower part of the storage space 42 is partitioned by the upper surface of the stepped-down surface portion 36 of the top plate 33. The value obtained by multiplying the area of the region surrounded by the main body side wall portion 41 by the height of the main body side wall portion 41 (hereinafter, may be referred to as "the volume of the storage space 42") is 4000 mm 3 Above 10000 mm 3 It is preferably below. If the volume of the storage space 42 is made smaller than 4000 mm 3 When it is smaller, when the small lid 32 is closed, the next sheet pulled out from the outlet 38 may be sandwiched between the fitting portion of the small lid 32 and the top plate 33. On the other hand, if the volume of the storage space 42 is made larger than 10000 mm 3 When it is larger, the small lid 32 will also become larger accordingly. As a result, the small lid 32 may become too large, causing warping or floating in the closed small lid 32, and the sealing performance of the outlet 38 may deteriorate.

[0033] (Small lid) As shown in FIGS. 4, 5, 7, and 8, the small lid 32 is a lid for closing (sealing) the outlet 38 when the sheet is not in use. It has a plate-shaped small lid body 43 that covers the outlet 38 when closed, a fitting wall 44 provided on the outer peripheral edge of the small lid body 43, and two annular small lid side wall portions 45, 46 that project from the inner surface of the small lid body 43 described later. The small lid 32 is tiltably supported on the cap main body portion 31 via a hinge portion 47.

[0034] (Hinge portion) The hinge portion 47 is a part that allows the small lid 32 to tilt relative to the cap body portion 31, and is formed in a thin-walled shape that can be curved and deformed. As shown in Figures 5 and 7, the thickness t3 of the hinge portion 47 is preferably 0.2 mm or more and 0.6 mm or less. If the thickness t3 of the hinge portion 47 is less than 0.2 mm, the strength of the hinge portion 47 will be too low, and the hinge portion 47 may be prone to breaking with repeated use. On the other hand, if the thickness t3 of the hinge portion 47 is greater than 0.6 mm, the hinge portion 47 will be difficult to curve and deform, and it may be difficult to open and close the small lid 32.

[0035] The hinge portion 47 is formed in a plate shape that intersects the vertical direction when the small lid 32 is open (as shown in Figures 4, 5, and 7), and extends radially outward from the outer edge of the cap body portion 31 (radial direction of the cap 30). As shown in Figure 4, in a top view, the length L2 (hereinafter referred to as "width L2") of the hinge portion 47 in the direction intersecting the radial direction (axial direction of the hinge axis) is longer than the radial length L1 of the cap 30. The width L2 of the hinge portion 47 is preferably 20 mm or more and 30 mm or less. If the width L2 of the hinge portion 47 is less than 20 mm, the axis of the hinge portion 47 (hinge axis) will not be stable when closing the small lid 32, the small lid 32 may wobble, and it may become difficult to close the small lid 32. On the other hand, if the width L2 of the hinge portion 47 is made larger than 30 mm, the hinge portion 47 will be less likely to bend and deform, which may make it difficult to open and close the small lid 32.

[0036] As shown in Figure 8, it is preferable that the hinge portion 47 curves symmetrically with respect to the horizontal when the small lid 32 is closed. That is, it is preferable that the hinge portion 47, when the small lid 32 is closed, curves so as to protrude outward in the horizontal direction when viewed from the direction of the hinge axis of the hinge portion 47. This makes it difficult for the small lid 32 to lift when closed.

[0037] (Small lid body) As shown in Figures 3 and 4, the small lid body 43 is formed in a roughly circular plate shape, with a rectangular projection at the outer edge that connects to the hinge portion 47. The small lid body 43 is sized to fit inside the surrounding wall 37 of the top plate 33 of the cap body 31. The small lid body 43 may also have a gripping portion on the opposite side of the outer edge that connects to the hinge portion 47 for gripping when opening and closing the small lid 32.

[0038] (Interlocking wall) As shown in Figures 3 and 4, the fitting wall 44 is a wall portion provided along the outer edge of the small lid body 43, and protrudes from the side of the small lid body 43 that faces the outlet 38 when closed (hereinafter referred to as the "inner surface"). When the small lid 32 is closed, the fitting wall 44 fits tightly with the surrounding wall 37 of the top plate 33 of the cap body portion 31, improving the airtightness within the surrounding wall 37.

[0039] (Two small lid side walls) As shown in Figures 3 and 4, the two small lid sidewalls 45 and 46 are annular wall portions that protrude from the inner surface of the small lid body 43 and are arranged in a double concentric circle. The two small lid sidewalls 45 and 46 are positioned radially inward from the fitting wall 44 and are concentric with the main body sidewall 41 of the cap body 31 when the small lid 32 is closed. The two small lid sidewalls 45 and 46 consist of a first small lid sidewall 45 with a smaller diameter than the main body sidewall 41 and a second small lid sidewall 46 that surrounds the first small lid sidewall 45 and has a larger diameter than the main body sidewall 41. The two small lid sidewalls 45 and 46 are positioned spaced apart from each other, and when the small lid 32 is closed, the main body sidewall 41 is sandwiched between the two small lid sidewalls 45 and 46. When the small lid 32 is closed, the two small lid side walls 45 and 46 sandwich the main body side wall 41, making the storage space 42 inside the main body side wall 41 even more airtight, which prevents the next sheet pulled out into the storage space 42 and the wet wipes 1 stored in the container body 20 from drying out. In this embodiment, as shown in Figures 5 and 8, the height of the first small lid side wall 45 from the small lid body 43 is set higher than the height of the second small lid side wall 46, and the height of the second small lid side wall 46 is set higher than the height of the fitting wall 44. As a result, when closing the small lid 32, at a position close to the hinge 47, the fitting wall 44, the second small lid side wall 46, and the first small lid side wall 45 can be easily fitted to the cap body 31 side in the order of the fitting wall 44, the second small lid side wall 46, and the first small lid side wall 45, from the radial outside to the inside of the small lid 32.

[0040] The inner diameter d of the first small lid side wall portion 45 is preferably 40 mm or more and 50 mm or less. If the inner diameter d of the first small lid side wall portion 45 is made smaller than 40 mm, the storage space 42 when the small lid 32 is closed will become smaller, and the next sheet being pulled out from the dispensing opening 38 may get caught in the fitting portion between the small lid 32 and the top plate 33 (between the two small lid side wall portions 45 and 46). On the other hand, if the inner diameter d of the first small lid side wall portion 45 is made larger than 50 mm, the small lid 32 will become too large, and warping or lifting may occur in the small lid 32 when it is closed, which may reduce the airtightness of the dispensing opening 38.

[0041] In the wet wipe storage container 10 configured as described above, the thickness t1 of the area 39 around the dispensing opening of the cap body 31 is thinner than the thickness t2 of the adjacent area 40 adjacent to the dispensing opening area 39. In this way, instead of simply softening the material of the cap 30, it is possible to soften the area 39 around the dispensing opening while maintaining the hardness of the cap 30. Therefore, by maintaining the hardness of the cap 30, the deterioration of the usability of the small lid 32 can be suppressed, and by softening the area 39 around the dispensing opening, the ease of dispensing the wipes can be ensured.

[0042] Furthermore, the main body portion 31 of the cap is provided with a main body side wall portion 41, and the small lid 32 is provided with two small lid side wall portions 45 and 46. When the small lid 32 is closed, the two small lid side wall portions 45 and 46 sandwich the main body side wall portion 41. This allows the small lid 32 to be closed securely. In addition, since the small lid 32 is provided with two small lid side wall portions 45 and 46, the rigidity of the small lid body 43 can be ensured, and the occurrence of warping or lifting of the small lid 32 when closed can be suppressed.

[0043] Thus, according to this embodiment, even with a cap 30 that has an integrated dispensing opening, it is possible to provide a wet wipe storage container 10 that ensures ease of sheet removal while suppressing a decrease in the usability of the small lid 32.

[0044] Furthermore, by providing a thickened portion 41a on the main body side wall portion 41 of the cap body portion 31, a secure fit can be achieved between the cap body portion 31 and the two small lid side wall portions 45 and 46 of the small lid portion 32.

[0045] Although the present invention has been described above based on the above embodiments, the present invention is not limited to the contents of the above embodiments, and can naturally be modified as appropriate without departing from the present invention. In other words, all other embodiments, examples, and operational techniques made by those skilled in the art based on these embodiments are of course included in the scope of the present invention.
