[0003] Paragraph
[0015] of the specification of Patent Application No. 2023-027106 discloses that "The problem is solved by a tissue box of the present invention, which is equipped with a seal that covers the entire dispensing opening, the dispensing opening being an opening area that is wavy and has a constant width and has a curved portion extending in the longitudinal direction at the center of the top surface and a left finger hole and a right finger hole located at both ends of the curved portion, the seal being adhered to the top surface with an adhesive layer, and the entire perimeter of the opening area being pre-punched along the cut line of the curved portion."
[0004] The specification of Japanese Unexamined Utility Model Publication No. 4-80878 discloses in the section titled "Problem to be solved by the invention" that "The present invention provides a tissue paper storage case having a structure in which the pull-out part does not fall into the box, as opposed to conventional tissue paper storage cases." [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]
[0005] [Patent Document 1] Patent application 2023-027106 [Patent Document 2] Publicly-available Practical Application Publication No. 4-80878 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]
[0006] Conventional sanitary paper tissue boxes have a resin sheet on the inside of the box that allows tissues to be smoothly pulled out one by one from the opening, but because it is unclear whether the resin sheet on the inside will be peeled off and sorted after use, it is necessary to change the product specifications from the start to clarify whether the box will be incinerated or recycled, and to create product specifications that take into consideration a sustainable natural environment.
[0007] Furthermore, there is a need for an outlet that can accommodate new sanitary paper materials as well as conventional products, for example an outlet for multiple purposes such as body wipes for nursing care or skin-friendly oils or cosmetic applications, and that can dispense sheets one by one in a balanced manner.
[0008] In addition, the container must be sterilized in accordance with standards for disposable medical items, which are sterilized medical goods for the medical industry, and must have specifications that prevent contamination with waste. It must also have a large opening so that the contents can be quickly grasped with an instrument such as forceps or with fingers and removed.
[0009] Patent application No. 2023-027106 solves the following problems in the specification: "The problem in the past is to clarify the waste separation," "The need for an improvement measure that the first tissue paper is torn and pulled out," "The need for an improvement that does not fall out of the dispensing opening," and "The need for a measure to prevent unsanitary foreign objects from getting in." The effects of the invention are described in the specification: paragraphs [0016-0022]: "The effect of the present invention is that the seal is removed in advance and the waste is separated, so that it can contribute to..." "The shape of the tissue paper prevents it from being torn," "When the seal is peeled off, the dispensing opening appears quickly with a one-touch method," "The tissue paper is held in place by the resistance of the stepped part," "The tissue paper is prevented from easily getting in," "Static electricity is suppressed on the commercial wiper that is pulled out," and "A sustainable product that responds to environmental sustainability can be provided." However, although tissue paper is listed as an enclosed item, it is necessary to devise an opening that allows smooth removal of materials such as sanitary paper that has strength in both length and width and that can accommodate medical miscellaneous items. [Means for solving the problem]
[0010] A molded box of the present invention encloses a laminate of laminated sanitary paper, the top surface of which has a curved portion with a molded stop that intersects with a center line extending in the longitudinal direction and can longitudinally bisect the top surface into surfaces A and B, the longitudinal molded curved line on the top surface is connected to a molded line that bisects the right side surface into left and right and a molded line from a determined position on the bottom side that bisects the right side into left and right, the molded line on the right side is connected to a folding line that extends in the longitudinal direction of the bottom surface and bisects it, the folding line on the bottom surface is connected to a molded line that bisects the left side surface into left and right and a molded line from a determined position on the bottom side, and the molded line that bisects the left side surface is connected to the molded curved line on the top surface that bisects the left side surface The problem is solved by a box characterized in that the opening for removing the sanitary paper is formed by removing the stoppers on sides A and B near the curved part and dividing the curved part molded on the top surface along the longitudinal direction in the outward direction in which side A opens and the curved part on side B opens, so that the curved part on side A and the curved part on side B face each other in parallel to each other, forming an opening of a certain width, and the sanitary paper in the box can be removed from the opening, and further, when the bottom of the box comes into contact with a flat surface, the opening of a certain width moves by the certain width in the direction in which sides A and B close and is closed by mating the stoppers on sides A and B. Effect of the Invention
[0011] When the present invention is used, the opening divided into two parts on the top surface allows sanitary paper, such as tissue paper, paper towels, nonwoven fabric sheets, wiping towels, etc., to be quickly taken out, and the opening is then closed to provide a product in which the inside and outside are sealed off.
[0012] In addition, it is possible to provide products with reusable specifications. [Brief description of the drawings]
