Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a case for storing film-wrapped tissues. [Background technology]

[0002] Recently, film-wrapped tissues have appeared on the market. Film-wrapped tissues are made by wrapping a stack of folded and overlapping tissue paper in a flexible film such as vinyl film, and have a perforation along the length of the top surface to form a take-out opening (see, for example, Patent Documents 1 and 2).

[0003] Compared to conventional boxed tissues, film-wrapped tissues are known to be highly convenient, being inexpensive, compact and easy to carry, and the wrapping film can be folded up into a small size after use. Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] However, when there are only a few tissues left in film-wrapped tissues, it becomes difficult to pull out the tissues with just one hand, and the whole film wrapper ends up being lifted up. This causes the inconvenience of having to hold down the film wrapper with one hand while pulling out the tissues with the other. Also, film-wrapped tissues are lightweight, and if left on a table or similar, they tend to roll around.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention has as its object to provide a film-wrapped tissue case which allows the user to pull out the tissue paper with only one hand even when there are only a few tissue paper sheets remaining, and which can be placed stably on a table or the like without any hassle. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] The present invention provides a film-wrapped tissue case capable of storing film-wrapped tissues, which are stacks of folded and alternating tissue paper wrapped in a flexible film, and which has a case body that is harder than the film and an opening on the top surface of the case body, the opening having a pull-out prevention function that prevents the main body of the film-wrapped tissue from being pulled out of the case body along with the pulled tissue paper when the tissue paper is pulled out one sheet at a time through an outlet formed in the main body of the film-wrapped tissue.

[0007] According to the present invention, a film-wrapped tissue case capable of storing film-wrapped tissues, which are bundles of folded and alternately stacked tissues wrapped in a flexible film, has a case body harder than the film, and an opening on the top surface of the case body, and the opening has a pull-out prevention function that prevents the body of the film-wrapped tissue from being pulled out of the case body along with the tissue paper being pulled out when the tissue paper is pulled out one by one through the outlet formed in the body of the film-wrapped tissue, so that even if there are only a few tissue paper sheets left in the stored film-wrapped tissue, the tissue paper can be easily pulled out with just one hand and can be placed stably on a table, etc. As a result, the case has excellent operability and stability.

[0008] As in the device described in claim 2, the opening is preferably formed in an elliptical shape having a major axis along the longitudinal direction of the top surface of the case body, and the film-wrapped tissue is inserted through the opening, while the escape of the inserted film-wrapped tissue is restricted by at least the four corners of the top surface of the case body, thereby providing the pull-out prevention function.

[0009] According to the device described in claim 2, the opening is formed in an elliptical shape with a major axis along the longitudinal direction of the top surface of the case body, and the film-wrapped tissue is inserted through the opening. The insertion of the film-wrapped tissue is restricted by at least the four corners of the top surface of the case body to prevent the tissue from being pulled out, thereby providing the anti-pulling function. Therefore, despite the simple structure, it is possible to improve operability and stability.

[0010] As in the device described in claim 3, it is preferable that the bottom surface of the case body has a first hole portion, and that a suction cup can be attached to the first hole portion to prevent the case body from floating up.

[0011] According to the device described in claim 3, the bottom surface of the case body has a first hole portion, and a suction cup can be attached to the first hole portion to prevent the case body from floating up, thereby further improving operability and stability.

[0012] As in the device described in claim 4, it is preferable that a side surface of the case body has a second hole portion, and a hanging device for suspending the case body can be attached to the second hole portion.

[0013] According to the invention described in claim 4, the side of the case body has a second hole portion, and a hanging device for suspending the case body can be attached to the second hole portion, so that the case body can be hung on a wall of a room, etc., thereby improving convenience. Effect of the Invention

[0014] According to the present invention, a film-wrapped tissue case capable of storing film-wrapped tissues, which are bundles of folded and alternately stacked tissues wrapped in a flexible film, has a case body harder than the film, and an opening on the top surface of the case body, and the opening has a pull-out prevention function that prevents the body of the film-wrapped tissue from being pulled out of the case body along with the tissue paper being pulled out when the tissue paper is pulled out one by one through the outlet formed in the body of the film-wrapped tissue, so that even if there are only a few tissue paper sheets left in the stored film-wrapped tissue, the tissue paper can be easily pulled out with just one hand, and can also be placed stably on a table, etc. As a result, the case has excellent operability and stability.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0016] FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing the overall configuration of a film-packaged tissue case 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention (hereinafter referred to as this embodiment), FIG. 2 is a perspective view showing an example of its use, and FIG. 3 is an explanatory view showing its function. In FIG. 1, X indicates the front-rear direction, Y indicates the left-right direction, and Z indicates the up-down direction. Although not particularly illustrated, it is assumed that FIG. 2 has the same directions.

[0017] As shown in FIG. 1, the film-packaged tissue case 1 according to this embodiment can store a film-packaged tissue 2 in which a bundle of tissue papers 3 folded and stacked alternately is wrapped with a flexible film 21, and includes a case body 11 harder than the film 21 and an opening 12 formed in the top surface 11a of the case body 11.

[0018] As described in the background art, the material of the film 21 is a flexible material such as a vinyl material. On the other hand, the material of the case body 11 is harder than the film 21, and it is preferable that the weight of the case body 11 is heavier than that of the film-packaged tissue 2. For example, an appropriate one may be selected from silicon rubber, wood, cardboard, plastic, and other synthetic resins. The shape of the case body 11 is a rectangular parallelepiped composed of a top surface 11a, a bottom surface 11b, a front surface 11c, a rear surface 11d, a left side surface 11e, and a right side surface 11f. Here, the longitudinal direction of the case body 11 is the front-rear direction indicated by X.

[0019] The opening 12 is formed in an elliptical shape having a major axis along the longitudinal direction of the top surface 11a of the case body 11. However, a square-based example with rounded corners, such as a back number zero, is preferable. The size of the opening 12 is preferably set to be about 30 mm ± 5 to 10 mm smaller in both length and width than the outer dimensions of the unused film-packaged tissue 2. If it is made smaller, it is difficult to replace it with a new film-packaged tissue 2, while if it is made larger than the size of the film-packaged tissue 2, the anti-pulling-out function described later cannot be expected.

[0020] 2(a) to 2(c), an unused film-wrapped tissue 2 can be pushed in through the opening 12 and deformed to be stored inside the case body 11. The stored film-wrapped tissue 2 returns to its original state inside the case body 11, and is securely caught on at least the corners (four corners) 13 of the periphery 13a of the opening 12 on the top surface 11a, preventing it from escaping to the outside.

[0021] Now, an unused film-wrapped tissue 2 is pushed into the opening 12 of the case body 11 with its top surface 21a facing upward. Then, the opening 12 faces the perforation 22a for forming the take-out opening 22 that runs along the longitudinal direction of the top surface 21a of the unused film-wrapped tissue 2. Then, the perforation 22a visible from the opening 12 can be torn to form the take-out opening 22 for the tissue paper 3.

[0022] 3(a), the first tissue paper 3 is pulled out from the outlet 22 by holding its front portion and applying an upward force P1. Since the rear portion of the first tissue paper 3 is folded under the front portion of the second tissue paper 3, the rear portion of the first tissue paper 3 is pulled out together with the front portion of the second tissue paper 3.

[0023] The rear part of the second tissue paper 3 is folded under the front part of the third tissue paper 3, so resistance R1 is generated to prevent it from being pulled out. At this time, the first to third tissue paper 3 are roughly parallel, so resistance R1 is large and the pulling force P1 becomes even larger. As a result, the tissue paper 3 is pulled out one by one through the outlet 22 of the film-wrapped tissue 2. In other words, because the tissue paper 3 adjustment function of the film-wrapped tissue 2 is utilized here, such a function for adjusting the tissue paper 3 is not required for the opening 12.

[0024] When there are many sheets of tissue paper 3 remaining, as shown in Fig. 3(a), the top surface 21a of the main body 21 of the film-wrapped tissue 2 is lifted by the pulling force P1 and comes into contact with at least the corner 13 of the periphery 13a of the opening 12 of the case body 11. At this time, the main body 21 of the film-wrapped tissue 2 is difficult to deform, so it cannot escape from the case body 11.

[0025] When the number of remaining paper tissues 3 becomes small, as shown in Fig. 3(b), the remaining paper tissues 3 are tilted, so the resistance R2 becomes smaller and the pulling force P2 of the paper tissues 3 also becomes smaller. This smaller pulling force P2 causes the top surface 21a of the main body 21 of the film-wrapped tissue 2 to come into contact with at least the corner 13 of the periphery 13a of the opening 12 of the case body 11. Therefore, even though the main body 21 of the film-wrapped tissue 2 at this time is easily deformed, it cannot escape from the case body 11.

[0026] In this way, the opening 12 has a pull-out prevention function that prevents the main body 21 of the film-wrapped tissue 2 from being pulled out of the case main body 11 along with the tissue paper 3 being pulled out.

[0027] As described above, the film-wrapped tissue case 1 of this embodiment includes a rectangular parallelepiped case body 11 capable of storing the film-wrapped tissues 2, and an opening 12 penetrating the top surface 11a of the case body 11. The opening 12 has a pull-out prevention function that prevents the body 21 of the film-wrapped tissue 2 from being pulled out of the case body 11 along with the pulled-out tissues 3 when the paper tissues 3 are pulled out one by one through the outlet 22 of the film-wrapped tissue 2. Therefore, even if the number of remaining paper tissues 3 is low, the paper tissues 3 can be pulled out with only one hand, which is not bothersome. In addition, the case can be stably placed on a table 4, for example, with the film-wrapped tissues 2 inserted. As a result, the case has excellent operability and stability.

[0028] FIG. 4 is a plan view (a) and a front view (b) showing an application example of the film-packaged tissue case 1 according to the present embodiment. The film-packaged tissue case 1 is usually placed on a flat surface such as a table 4, but may also be placed on a vibrating surface or an inclined surface unavoidably. Therefore, as shown in FIGS. 4(a) and (b), holes (first hole portions) 14 are provided before and after the bottom surface 11b of the case body 11, and a suction cup 15 for preventing the case body 11 from floating can be attached to the holes 14. Thereby, it is possible to prevent the case body 11 from floating on the table 4 and improve the operability and stability. Note that the table 4 may be a place where the packaged tissue case 1 can be placed and the suction cup 15 can be adsorbed, and the shape, position, quantity, etc. of the holes 14 for attaching the suction cup 15 are arbitrary.

[0029] Also, the film-packaged tissue case 1 may be used by hanging it on a ceiling beam 5 or the like. Therefore, FIG. 5 is a plan view (a) and a front view (b) showing another application example of the film-packaged tissue case 1 according to the present embodiment. As shown in FIGS. 5(a) and (b), a hole (second hole portion) 16 is provided in the left side plate 11c of the case body 11. The case body 11 can be suspended from a suspension tool 18 attached to a ceiling beam 5 or the like by passing a string 17 through the hole 16. Thereby, the convenience can be improved. In this case, the film-packaged tissue case 1 may be placed horizontally, and the film-packaged tissue 2 may also be inserted horizontally from the opening 12 of the case body 11. Note that the ceiling beam 5 may be a place where the film-packaged tissue case 1 can be suspended, and the shape, position, quantity, etc. of the holes 16 through which the string 17 passes are arbitrary.

[0030] In the above embodiment, the film-packaged tissue case body 1 is a rectangular parallelepiped, but any shape and dimensions that can accommodate the film-packaged tissue 2 may be used. Also, the case body 1 of the film-packaged tissue case 1 may be colored or patterned and used as an interior decoration for a room.
