Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a container for storing liquid containing hot spring water or mineral water. [Background technology]

[0002] Liquids (mineral water) such as hot spring water or mineral spring water, or liquids containing such mineral water (hereinafter simply referred to as "liquids"), can have skin-beautifying effects and skin quality-improving effects when applied to the surface of the skin, depending on the type and ingredients contained, and various containers for carrying such liquids are publicly known.

[0003] However, when the container is simply a bottle or the like, it is difficult to discharge the appropriate amount of liquid contained therein onto the surface of the skin and apply it appropriately. For this reason, a spray device has become known that includes a container in which the liquid is filled with pressurizing gas and a spraying means for spraying the liquid in the container to the outside, and that can spray the liquid onto the skin on the spot (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

[0004] The spray device in the above document is also a type of container, and while it makes it easy to properly apply the liquid to the skin by spreading the sprayed liquid over the surface of the skin, it has a complex structure and is expensive to manufacture.

[0006] To provide a container for storing a liquid containing hot spring water or mineral water, which allows the liquid to be applied appropriately to the skin, has a simple structure, and is inexpensive to manufacture. [Means for solving the problem]

[0007] In order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides a container for containing a liquid including hot spring water or mineral water, comprising a plurality of sheets impregnated with the liquid and capable of flexibly deforming, a container formed with an opening for removal and containing the plurality of sheets stacked together, and a lid portion for closing the removal opening in an openable manner, wherein the removal opening is configured to allow the sheets contained inside the container to be removed.

[0008] The sheet may be made of cloth or paper that can be impregnated with the liquid.

[0009] The sheet may be made of a nonwoven fabric.

[0010] The plurality of sheets may be stacked in a folded state and housed inside the housing.

[0011] The container may be a flexibly deformable storage bag, and the lid portion may be a flexibly deformable opening / closing seal, at least a portion of which is removably attached to the surface of the storage bag so as to close the access port. [Effects of the Invention]

[0012] The sheet, which is impregnated with a liquid containing hot spring water or mineral water and stored in a container, is taken out from the outlet and the liquid is applied appropriately to the skin surface by wiping the surface of the skin with the sheet. Furthermore, the structure of the container is simple, so the manufacturing cost is low. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[Figure 3] 2 is a cross-sectional view of FIG. 1 taken along line B-B. [Figure 4] 2 is a cross-sectional view taken along CC in FIG. 1. [Figure 5] FIG. 2 is a plan view showing the configuration of a foldable seat. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0014] FIG. 1 is a plan view of a container to which the present invention is applied, FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view taken along line AA in FIG. 1, FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view taken along line BB in FIG. 1, FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view taken along line CC in FIG. 1, and FIG. 5 is a plan view showing the configuration of a foldable sheet.

[0015] The container for containing the liquid (in this example, hot spring water itself) comprises a plurality of sheets 1 impregnated with the liquid and capable of being flexibly deformed, a storage bag (container) 2 having an opening at the outlet 2a and containing the plurality of sheets 1 stacked together, and an opening / closing seal (lid) 3 that closes the outlet 2a in an openable manner.

[0016] The sheet 1 is a square-shaped piece of cloth or paper (in this example, cloth, more specifically, nonwoven fabric) that can be impregnated with the liquid.

[0017] The sheets 1 are each folded and stacked in the thickness direction and contained in the storage bag 2. More specifically, in the illustrated example, each sheet 1 is folded in four.

[0018] The sheet 1 inside the storage bag 2 is taken out from the take-out opening 2a and placed against the surface of the skin, whereby the liquid impregnated in the sheet 1 is applied to the surface side of the skin.

[0019] The storage bag 2 is manufactured from a cylindrical body made by gluing or thermocompressing the short sides of a rectangular, flexibly deformable sheet material together. At least one side of the sheet material is waterproofed by forming a waterproof layer or the like to form a waterproof surface 4. The cylindrical body is formed so that this waterproof surface 4 is on the inner circumferential surface, and this waterproof surface 4 becomes the inner surface of the storage bag 2.

[0020] Regarding the means for forming the storage bag 2 from the cylindrical body, the inner surfaces of each open end of the cylindrical body are joined together by adhesive bonding or thermocompression bonding, etc., to produce the storage bag 2 whose inner surface becomes a waterproof surface 4.

[0021] To explain in more detail, when viewed in the axial direction of the cylindrical body, the left and right symmetrical portions of the inner surface of the end portion of the cylindrical body are folded toward each other in a U-shape, and the opposing portions are joined together to form a storage bag 2 in which the ends on both sides form parallel strips and are sealed to form closed portions 2b, 2b.

[0022] The storage bag 2 is used with the closure sections 2b, 2b on both ends oriented horizontally, and multiple sheets 1 are stored inside it stacked vertically. In this state, the storage bag 2 has a rectangular shape in a plan view, with the closure sections 2b, 2b located on the ends in the longitudinal direction.

[0023] Hereinafter, for convenience, this longitudinal direction will be referred to as the front-rear direction, and the left-right direction and the up-down direction will be defined based on this. Incidentally, when the storage bag 2 is filled with the maximum amount of sheets 1, the portion other than the closing portions 2b, 2b forms a rectangular frame that is long in the left-right direction in cross section (front cross section).

[0024] The removal opening 2a is formed as a long hole opening in the front-to-rear direction on the upper surface side around the periphery of the storage bag 2. This removal opening 2a is formed in a size and shape that allows the uppermost sheet 1 to be removed from among the multiple sheets 1 stacked in a folded state inside the storage bag 2.

[0025] Incidentally, it is also possible to store the sheet 1 in the storage bag 2 from this removal opening 2a, but in this example, after storing multiple sheets 1 in a stacked state in the cylindrical body, closing sections 2b, 2b are formed on both ends of the body using the procedure described above, and the inside is sealed.

[0026] The opening and closing seal 3 is made of a flexibly deformable transparent film, and one side thereof (specifically the lower side, hereinafter referred to as the "back side") is formed with an adhesive layer for adhering to the surface of the storage bag 2. The opening and closing seal is formed to be larger than the take-out opening 2a and to have a shape similar to that of the take-out opening 2a (in the illustrated example, an elongated hole), and a semicircular protruding tab 3a is integrally formed on one end side of the opening in the longitudinal direction.

[0027] The opening / closing seal 3 of this configuration has the removal opening 2a located in a central portion thereof and is blocked, and at least a portion (in this example, most of it) is removably attached to the surface (specifically, the top surface) of the storage bag 2 by the above-mentioned adhesive layer.

[0028] Incidentally, since no adhesive layer is formed on the back surface of the tab 3a, the tab 3a is not adhered to the storage bag 2. On the other hand, the end of the opening / closing seal 3 opposite the tab 3a becomes a support end 3b that is adhered to the surface of the storage bag 2 in a state that is difficult to peel off.

[0029] The take-out opening 2a can be switched to an open state by pinching (holding) the tab 3a and peeling the opening / closing seal 3 from the surface of the storage bag 2, while the take-out opening 2a can be switched to a closed state by peelably attaching the opening / closing seal 3 to the surface of the storage bag 2. When opening and closing, the support end 3b serves as a fulcrum, making the operation easier.

[0030] With the container configured as described above, when the sheet 1 is removed from inside and the surface of the skin is wiped with the sheet 1, an appropriate amount of the liquid is applied to the surface of the skin in an appropriate state, and the liquid does not leak out and go to waste.

[0031] Incidentally, regarding the above liquid, an example of hot spring water used for it is as follows: 1 kg of this hot spring water contains the following cations: 3.3 mg of lithium ions, 2950 mg of sodium ions, 131 mg of potassium ions, 45.8 mg of magnesium ions, 233 mg of calcium ions, 5.6 mg of strontium ions, 2.2 mg of manganese ions, and 5.5 mg of iron ions.

[0032] In addition, 1 kg of this hot spring water contains the following anions: 2.4 mg of fluoride ions, 4210 mg of chloride ions, 11.9 mg of bromide ions, 2.6 mg of iodide ions, 417 mg of sulfate ions, and 2150 mg of bicarbonate ions.

[0033] Furthermore, 1 kg of this hot spring water contains 3.2 mg of metaarsenous acid, 144 mg of metasilicic acid, and 83.1 mg of metaboric acid as undissociated components, which are a type of free component.Incidentally, 1 kg of this hot spring water contains a total of 10.40 g of dissolved substances, including these undissociated components and excluding gaseous substances.

[0034] Furthermore, 1 kg of this hot spring water contains 642 mg of free carbon dioxide as a dissolved gas component, which is a type of free component.

[0035] In addition, 1 kg of this hot spring water contains other trace elements, including 0.09 mg of barium ions, 0.03 mg of aluminum ions, 0.023 mg of zinc ions, 2.20 mg of total arsenic, and 0.03 mg of thiosulfate ions.

[0036] The liquid having such a composition has a pH value of 6.4, a slightly yellowish and slightly cloudy color, a slightly salty and slightly metallic taste, and a slightly metallic odor.

[0037] The hot spring from which this liquid gushes out is located in Senbaru, Misato-cho, Ochi-gun, Shimane Prefecture. For example, on a day when the outside temperature was 20.2 degrees Celsius, the spring temperature was 33.6 degrees Celsius and the flow rate was 50 l / min.

[0038] It has been confirmed that when the sheet 1 impregnated with this liquid is wiped onto the skin and then applied to the surface, eczema and rashes are alleviated. The container of this example is highly useful as it allows such effective liquid to be carried easily and inexpensively and applied to the skin surface as needed. [Explanation of symbols]
