[0009] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described. The embodiment described below is one aspect of the present invention, and does not limit the technical scope of the present invention.

[0010] <Embodiment> The sanitary article storage bag according to this embodiment (hereinafter simply referred to as "bag 1") is a rectangular bag with all four sides closed, capable of storing and removing sanitary articles. Fig. 1 is an external perspective view of bag 1. Fig. 2 is an external perspective view of bag 1 shown in Fig. 1 with the bottom surface facing up. Fig. 3 is an external perspective view of bag 1 when a sanitary article 5 is to be removed. As shown in Fig. 1, bag 1 has a substantially rectangular appearance. Hereinafter, the long side of bag 1 will be referred to as the vertical direction, and the short side will be referred to as the horizontal direction.

[0011] The bag 1 according to this embodiment is formed from a single sheet-like exterior body 10. The front surface of the exterior body 10 is the surface that is exposed to the outside when the bag 1 is formed, and the back surface of the exterior body 10 is the surface that is the inside when the bag 1 is formed. The exterior body 10 according to this embodiment is made of a material such as polypropylene, polyethylene, polyethylene terephthalate, or a material that combines these, or a metal-deposited film or a metal-laminated film that uses polypropylene, polyethylene, polyethylene terephthalate, or the like as a base material. The material of the exterior body 10 can be changed as appropriate.

[0012] The exterior body 10 has a single rectangular shape, and is formed into a cylindrical shape by joining the overlapping side end portions 10S with the edges of a pair of sides overlapping each other as shown in Fig. 2, and then joining the two open end portions 10M of the cylindrical exterior body 10. When the side end portions 10S of the bag 1 are placed on a horizontal surface, the surface facing the horizontal surface is the bottom surface portion 2D, and the surface opposite the bottom surface portion 2D is the upper bottom surface portion 2U. The surface forming the side surface between the bottom surface portion 2D and the upper bottom surface portion 2U where the open end portion 10M is not provided is the side surface portion 2S.

[0013] The opening end 10M joins the pair of exterior bodies 10 together in the height direction at the horizontal center. At both horizontal ends of the opening end 10M, the vertical ends of the upper bottom portion 2U and the side portion 2S are joined together to form an upper joint portion 3U, and the vertical ends of the bottom portion 2D and the side portion 2S are joined together to form a lower joint portion 3D. The upper joint portion 3U and the lower joint portion 3D at the horizontal ends of the opening end 10M are folded so as to overlap in the height direction, forming a gusset shape in the bag 1.

[0014] 3, the bag 1 has an opening 4 in a part of the upper bottom surface portion 2U that connects the storage space surrounded by the exterior body 10 to the outside. The sanitary article 5 stored in the storage space of the bag 1 can be taken out from the storage space to the outside through the opening 4.

[0015] The opening 4 is formed in the vertical center and horizontal center of the upper bottom surface portion 2U, and has a generally elliptical shape with the vertical direction being the major axis. The position of the opening 4 is not limited to the above. The shape of the opening 4 is not limited to the above and may be changed as appropriate.

[0016] The bag 1 formed in a cylindrical shape accommodates a sheet-like sanitary article 5 having a substantially rectangular shape in a storage space surrounded by the back surface of the exterior body 10. The sanitary article 5 accommodated in the storage space of the bag 1 is a wet sheet or wet tissue used for wiping a floor or toilet of a house, or a human body, and for sterilizing, disinfecting, or wiping off dirt from the wiped surface. The sanitary article 5 may be a paper towel or a sheet made of nonwoven fabric, and contains a volatile component for sterilizing, disinfecting, or disinfecting. The components contained in the sanitary article 5 in this embodiment are water, a surfactant, a wetting agent, a germicide, a preservative, a pH adjuster, a chelating agent, alcohol, etc.

[0017] As described above, the sanitary article 5 contains volatile components, and therefore, if the opening 4 is open and the storage space of the bag 1 is kept in communication with the outside, there is a risk that the components contained in the sanitary article 5 will volatilize. Therefore, the bag 1 has a sealing part 6 that seals the opening 4 in a normal state and opens the opening 4 when a user uses the sanitary article 5. The storage space of the sanitary article 5 becomes an enclosed space to the extent that volatilization of the components contained in the stored sanitary article 5 is suppressed in a closed state in which the sealing part 6 seals the opening 4. In this embodiment, the sealing part 6 is a sheet made of a material such as polypropylene, polyethylene terephthalate, polypropylene, or a material combining these materials, or a metal-deposited film, a metal-laminated film, or the like, based on polypropylene, polyethylene, polyethylene terephthalate, or the like.

[0018] The hygiene article 5 may be stored in the bag 1 in a state in which it is divided into two equal parts in the longitudinal direction and folded alternately. By folding alternately, when one hygiene article 5 is taken out, the next hygiene article 5 protrudes toward the opening 4 following the taken-out hygiene article 5, making it easy to take out the next hygiene article 5.

[0019] The sealing part 6 is attached to the surface of the exterior body 10 in a state where it covers the entire opening 4 in the closed state. When opening 4 is to be opened, the sealing part 6 is peeled off from the surface of the exterior body 10 and removed. When opening 4 is to be sealed, the sealing part 6 is attached to the surface of the exterior body 10 in a state where it covers the entire opening 4. Thus, the sealing part 6 has a detachable part 6T that can be repeatedly attached to and detached from the exterior body 10. The vertical direction of the sealing part 6 is the same as the vertical direction of the bag 1.

[0020] The bag 1 includes a temporary connection portion 7 that temporarily connects the detachable portion 6T and the exterior body 10 corresponding to the detachable portion 6T in a repeatedly detachable manner. The temporary connection refers to a state in which the connected materials are connected to such an extent that they can be detached without being broken. The temporary connection portion 7 is formed of an adhesive such as an acrylic acid ester copolymer or an isocyanate group-terminated urethane resin, and makes the detachable portion 6T and the exterior body 10 repeatedly detachable. The temporary connection portion 7 may be provided on the detachable portion 6T, may be provided on the exterior body 10, or may be provided on the detachable portion 6T and the exterior body 10. In this embodiment, the temporary connection portion 7 is provided on the detachable portion 6T as shown in FIG. 3.

[0021] A part of the sealing portion 6 has a connection portion 8 that is connected to the exterior body 10 to an extent that it cannot be peeled off. In this embodiment, it is an end portion on one vertical side. If the entire sealing portion 6 is peeled off from the exterior body 10, when sealing the opening 4, the entire opening 4 will be completely covered by the sealing portion 6, and there is a risk that the sealing portion 6 will not be attached in the correct attachment position where no gap is formed between the exterior body 10 and the sealing portion 6. By providing a connection portion 8 that is connected to a part of the sealing portion 6 to an extent that it cannot be peeled off from the exterior body 10, the sealing portion 6 that has once been peeled off from the exterior body 10 can be attached again in the correct attachment position.

[0022] FIG. 4 is an enlarged view of the sealing portion 6 of the bag 1. The sealing portion 6 is preferably provided with a pattern 9 that is continuous with the exterior body 10 as shown in FIG. 4. As described above, the hygiene article 5 contains a volatile component. However, the hygiene article 5 may be directly contacted with the human body to wipe off dirt on the surface of the contact surface. For this reason, only a certain percentage of the component can be contained in consideration of the effect on the skin that comes into contact with the hygiene article 5. Therefore, if the bag 1 is opened and the storage space of the bag 1 is maintained in communication with the outside, there is a risk that the volatile component will evaporate. In this case, there is a risk that the sterilization, sterilization, disinfection, or dirt wiping effect of the component of the hygiene article 5 cannot be fully exerted when the hygiene article 5 is used. In particular, when the sealing portion 6 is in a sheet shape and is repeatedly attached and detached to the exterior body 10 by the temporary connection portion 7, the exterior body 10 and the sealing portion 6 may not be correctly attached to each other, and a gap may be formed between the exterior body 10 and the sealing portion 6.

[0023] By providing the continuous pattern 9 to the sealing portion 6 and the exterior body 10, when attaching the sealing portion 6 to the exterior body 10, a user attempts to attach the sealing portion 6 to the exterior body 10 by matching the pattern 9 of the sealing portion 6 with the pattern 9 of the exterior body 10. Therefore, the sealing portion 6 is attached to the exterior body 10 at the correct attachment position where no gap is formed between the sealing portion 6 and the exterior body 10. Therefore, the bag 1 can suppress evaporation of the components contained in the sanitary article 5 because the sealing portion 6 and the exterior body 10 are temporarily connected at the correct attachment position.

[0024] The pattern 9 is preferably provided at a position spaced apart from the connection portion 8. Because the connection portion 8 connects the sealing portion 6 and the exterior body 10 in a non-peeling manner, gaps are unlikely to form between the sealing portion 6 and the exterior body 10 when the sealing portion 6 and the exterior body 10 are temporarily connected. Therefore, it is preferable to form the pattern 9 in an area that does not correspond to the connection portion 8. In addition, because the area near the connection portion 8 is likely to be attached in the correct attachment position by the connection portion 8, it is preferable to provide the pattern 9 on the opposite side in the vertical direction to the connection portion 8.

[0025] Furthermore, in the case of a rectangular bag 1, the pattern 9 is preferably provided at the four corners. When wrinkles or folds are formed in the sealing part 6 or the exterior body 10, by attaching the pattern 9 so that it matches up with the four corners, the user will try to attach it in the correct attachment position so as to return the wrinkles or folds to their original position. This prevents the sealing part 6 from being attached in a position that is different from the correct attachment position.

[0026] The bag 1 has a circular seal 11 affixed from a part of the detachable portion 6T to the exterior body 10. By affixing the seal 11 affixed from a part of the detachable portion 6T to the exterior body 10, it is possible to confirm that the sealed portion 6 is unopened. Note that the seal 11 is not limited to a circular shape and may be changed as appropriate.

[0027] Fig. 5 is an enlarged view of the periphery of seal 11 when bag 1 according to the embodiment is in a closed state. Fig. 6 is an enlarged view of the periphery of seal 11 when bag 1 according to the embodiment is in an open state. Fig. 7 is an enlarged view of seal 11.

[0028] The seal 11 has a pattern 11M that spans from a part of the detachable portion 6T to the exterior body 10. The pattern 11M includes information that the user is to read. The seal 11 is likely to catch the user's eye when opening or sealing the sealing portion 6. In particular, when opening the sealing portion 6 for the first time, the seal 11 must be torn or peeled off, and therefore the seal 11 is sure to catch the user's eye. Therefore, if the information that the user is to read is displayed on the seal 11, the user can be sure to see it.

[0029] The information that the user should read is preferably information on how to use the bag 1. For example, it is a display on how to open and close the sealing part 6. As described above, the hygiene article 5 contains a volatile component. However, the hygiene article 5 may be directly contacted with the human body to wipe off dirt on the surface of the contact surface. For this reason, only a certain percentage of the component can be contained in consideration of the effect on the skin that comes into contact with the hygiene article 5. Therefore, if the sealing part 6 of the bag 1 is opened and the state in which the storage space of the bag 1 is in communication with the outside is maintained, there is a risk that the volatile component will evaporate. In this case, when the hygiene article 5 is used, there is a risk that the sterilization, sterilization, disinfection, or dirt wiping effect possessed by the component of the hygiene article 5 will not be fully exerted. Therefore, it is necessary for the user to check the display on how to open and close the sealing part 6. In particular, it is necessary for the user to check how to close the sealing part 6 and how to check the closed state.

[0030] It is preferable that the information on how to use the bag 1 includes at least one of a pictogram, a diagram, and a photograph. When the information on how to use the bag 1 includes at least one of a pictogram, a diagram, and a photograph, the user can easily understand how to use the bag 1 when visually checking the sticker 11, rather than reading text. In addition, when the information on how to use the bag 1 is displayed on the bag 1, In some cases, the user can confirm how to use the bag 1 by reading a barcode displayed on the bag. In this case, the user has to take the time to read the barcode. There is a risk that the user will avoid the time of reading the barcode and use the sanitary item 5 and open and close the bag 1 without checking the information on how to use the bag 1. If the instructions for using the bag 1 are displayed by including at least one of a pictogram, a diagram, and a photograph, the user can easily confirm how to use the bag 1 without reading a barcode.

[0031] The information to be read by the user may be, for example, precautions regarding the hygiene product 5 contained in the bag 1, such as a label indicating the ingredients of the hygiene product 5. Some users who use the hygiene product 5 have allergies and may develop allergic symptoms when they come into contact with certain ingredients. By displaying the precautions on the sticker 11, users with allergies can easily check whether the hygiene product 5 contained in the bag 1 may cause allergic symptoms before using the hygiene product 5.

[0032] <Modification> Next, the bag 1 according to the modification will be described. FIG. 8 is an enlarged view of the periphery of the seal 11 provided on the bag 1 according to the modification in the closed state. FIG. 9 is an enlarged view of the periphery of the seal 11 provided on the bag 1 according to the modification in the open state. The seal 11 may have a cutting guide portion 11C that guides the seal 11 to be cut along the outer periphery of the detachable portion 6T. The other configurations are the same as those of the embodiment. By providing the cutting guide portion 11C, the seal 11 is easily cut along the cutting guide portion 11C when the opening 4 is opened for the first time. The cut seal 11 is divided into two, one of which is attached to the detachable portion 6T and the other is attached to the exterior body 10. When the opening 4 is sealed by the sealing portion 6 in this state, the user can attach the detachable portion 6T to the exterior body 10 so that the outer periphery of a part of the seal 11 attached to the detachable portion 6T and the outer periphery of a part of the seal 11 attached to the exterior body 10 are aligned. This makes it possible to guide the user to attach the sealing portion 6 in the correct position, and makes it possible to prevent a gap from being formed between the sealing portion 6 and the exterior body 10.

[0033] In addition, by providing the cutting guide portion 11C, the seal 11 is easily cut along the cutting guide portion 11C when the opening 4 is opened for the first time, as described above. The cut seal 11 is easily divided into two, one of which is attached to the detachable portion 6T and the other of which is attached to the exterior body 10. As a result, the pattern 11M spanning from a part of the detachable portion 6T to the exterior body 10 is separated into the exterior body 10 and the detachable portion 6T. Therefore, when the user seals the opening 4, it is possible to attach the sealing portion 6 to the exterior body 10 so that the pattern 11M attached to the exterior body 10 and the pattern 11M attached to the detachable portion 6T match. Therefore, it is possible to guide the user to attach the sealing portion 6 to the correct attachment position, and it is possible to suppress the formation of a gap between the sealing portion 6 and the exterior body 10.

[0034] Since the cutting guide portion 11C is along the outer periphery of the removable portion 6T, when the seal 11 is cut along the cutting guide portion 11C, the seal 11 is cut along the outer periphery of the removable portion 6T as shown in FIG. 9. This prevents the seal 11 attached to the removable portion 6T side from protruding from the outer periphery of the removable portion 6T or the seal 11 attached to the exterior body 10 from protruding toward the opening 4. The portion of the seal 11 attached to the removable portion 6T side protruding from the outer periphery of the removable portion 6T or the portion of the seal 11 attached to the exterior body 10 protruding toward the opening 4 may interfere with the opening or sealing operation of the sealing portion 6. For this reason, the user may peel off the seal 11 from the exterior body 10 or the removable portion 6T in order to eliminate the portion of the seal 11 attached to the removable portion 6T side protruding from the outer periphery of the removable portion 6T or the portion of the seal 11 attached to the exterior body 10 protruding toward the opening 4.

[0035] The seal 11 is cut along the outer periphery of the detachable portion 6T by the cutting guide portion 11C. The seal 11 attached to the detachable part 6T does not protrude from the outer periphery of the detachable part 6T, and the seal 11 attached to the exterior body 10 does not protrude toward the opening 4. Therefore, the user can perform the opening or sealing operation of the sealing part 6 without peeling the seal 11 off the exterior body 10 or the detachable part 6T.

[0036] The cutting guide portion 11C may be any portion that allows the seal 11 to be easily torn along the outer periphery of the detachable portion 6T. For example, the cutting guide portion 11C may be a cut extending along the outer periphery of the detachable portion 6T, or may be a perforation.

[0037] The seal 11 may also be provided with a plurality of cutting guide portions 11C extending in a direction facing the outer periphery of the removable portion 6T. In the manufacturing process of the bag 1, it is difficult and time-consuming to attach the seal 11 along the outer periphery of the removable portion 6T without slipping. When a plurality of cutting guide portions 11C are provided, it is sufficient that one of the plurality of cutting guide portions 11C is along the outer periphery of the removable portion 6T, so that the seal 11 can be attached more easily than when the outer periphery of the removable portion 6T is attached along one cutting guide portion 11C. Even if a slip occurs in the manufacturing process in which the seal 11 is attached along the outer periphery of the removable portion 6T, one of the plurality of cutting guide portions 11C is close to the outer periphery of the removable portion 6T. In this case, when the user opens the sealing portion 6 for the first time, the seal 11 can be cut along the cutting guide portion 11C close to the outer periphery of the removable portion 6T.

[0038] Moreover, it is preferable that the temporary connection part 7 does not extend to the area where the seal 11 is attached. When the temporary connection part 7 does not extend to the area where the seal 11 is attached, the seal 11 is more likely to peel off from the exterior body 10 than when the temporary connection part 7 extends to the area where the seal 11 is attached. Therefore, the seal 11 is more likely to tear along the cutting guide part 11C provided on the seal 11.

[0039] The features included in each of the embodiments and the modified examples thereof disclosed above can be combined with each other. [Explanation of symbols]
