Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0006] However, for the strip-shaped film for the handle, simply replacing the paper tape does not cause the film to expand and contract like a film. Therefore, it is difficult to grip when carrying the package, and in some cases, there is a risk of breakage. Therefore, in order to easily grip the paper tape when carrying the package, it is conceivable to make the middle part of the paper tape longer than the length between the joining parts of both ends of the paper tape. However, in this case, there is a risk that the middle part of the paper tape may protrude and become an obstacle in the storage state in the factory warehouse or the like.

[0007] An object of the present invention is to provide a package that can be carried and stored without inconvenience even when using a paper tape for a handle.

Means for Solving the Problems

[0008] The package according to the present invention has a wrapping paper that wraps a plurality of roll-shaped sanitary thin papers or sanitary thin paper laminates together, and a strip-shaped film for a handle whose both ends are joined to the outer surface of the wrapping paper. The middle part of the strip-shaped film is set to a length that can be folded between the joining parts of both ends of the strip-shaped film on the outer surface of the wrapping paper, and fixing means for temporarily fixing the middle part of the strip-shaped film in a folded state between the joining parts of both ends of the strip-shaped film on the outer surface of the wrapping paper is provided.

[0009] With this configuration, the middle part of the strip-shaped film is set to a length that can be folded between the joining parts of both ends of the strip-shaped film on the outer surface of the wrapping paper, and fixing means for temporarily fixing the middle part of the strip-shaped film in a folded state between the joining parts of both ends of the strip-shaped film on the outer surface of the wrapping paper is provided. Therefore, inconveniences such as the middle part of the strip-shaped film protruding and becoming an obstacle in the storage state in the factory warehouse or the like are less likely to occur. Further, if the temporary fixing state of the middle part of the strip-shaped film is released, the middle part of the strip-shaped film becomes sufficiently longer than the length between the joining parts of both ends of the strip-shaped film on the outer surface of the wrapping paper. As a result, the middle part of the strip-shaped film can be easily gripped when carrying, and inconveniences such as difficulty in gripping the middle part of the strip-shaped film when carrying are less likely to occur.

[0010] Further, the package according to the present invention is characterized in that the temporary fixing means is a releasable adhesive that joins the middle portions of the strip paper to each other in a folded state.

[0011] With this configuration, even after releasing the temporary fixing state of the middle portion of the strip paper, the middle portion of the strip paper can be temporarily fixed again in a folded state, so that the middle portion of the strip paper does not get in the way even in a storage state at home.

[0012] Furthermore, the package according to the present invention is characterized in that the temporary fixing means is a releasable adhesive that joins the middle portion of the strip paper in a folded state to the outer surface of the wrapping paper.

[0013] With this configuration, even after releasing the temporary fixing state of the middle portion of the strip paper, the middle portion of the strip paper can be temporarily fixed again in a folded state, so that the middle portion of the strip paper does not get in the way even in a storage state at home.

Advantages of the Invention

[0014] According to the present invention, a package using a strip paper for a handle can be carried and stored without inconvenience.

Mode for Carrying Out the Invention

[0016] The form of the package according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 1 to 5. However, the present invention is not limited to the aspects of this form.

[0017] As described above, the sanitary tissue according to the present invention includes toilet paper, kitchen paper, tissue paper, wiper, etc. In the description of this specification and the claims, "rolled sanitary tissue" refers to toilet paper, kitchen paper, etc. made into a roll shape, and "sanitary tissue laminate" refers to tissue paper, wiper, etc. folded and laminated. Hereinafter, in the first embodiment, a form in which a rolled sanitary tissue is caramel-wrapped with a wrapping paper will be described, and in the second embodiment, a form in which a stack of cartons containing a sanitary tissue laminate is caramel-wrapped with a wrapping paper will be described.

[0018] Also, in the description of this specification and the claims, "top surface" and "bottom surface" are referred to as referring to the surfaces exposed on the outside of a package in which a plurality of rolled sanitary tissues or sanitary tissue laminates are packaged together. However, these terms are for convenience only, and of course, do not define the absolute position in the gravitational direction. The same applies to terms such as "up" and "down".

[0019] Furthermore, in the description of this specification, the claims, and the drawings, the "height direction", the "width direction", and the "length direction" are orthogonal to each other, and the "roll parallel direction" corresponds to either the above "width direction" or "length direction".

[0020] Regarding the overall perspective views of FIGS. 1 and 5, for convenience of explanation, a state in which the contents are seen through is shown.

[0021] <First Embodiment> FIG. 1 is an overall perspective view of a package 1 in which a plurality of roll-shaped sanitary thin papers 2 according to the first embodiment of the present invention are caramel-wrapped. FIG. 2 is a plan view of the top surface of the package 1 according to the present embodiment. FIG. 3 is a schematic cross-sectional view taken along the direction of IIIa-IIIa in FIG. 2. FIG. 3(a) shows the state before releasing the temporary fixing means 16, and FIG. 3(b) shows the state after releasing the temporary fixing means 16. In FIG. 3(b), for the sake of convenience of explanation, the temporary fixing means 16 is omitted.

[0022] The package 1 according to the present invention is formed by wrapping a plurality of roll-shaped sanitary tissue papers (toilet rolls in this embodiment) 2 in parallel in a direction perpendicular to their axial directions so that both end faces are aligned, with a wrapping paper 10 (paper material). The package 1 according to this embodiment is formed by caramel-wrapping four toilet rolls 2 arranged in two rows and two tiers as shown in FIG. 1 with the wrapping paper 10. The wrapping paper 10 contains at least a paper base material. The paper base material is obtained by papermaking a slurry containing a pulp component that is a fiber raw material. Examples of the pulp component include wood pulp, non-wood pulp, and waste paper pulp. In this embodiment, the wrapping paper 10 is a laminated sheet in which a heat-sealing layer for sealing is laminated on a part of one side of the paper base material, and four toilet rolls 2 arranged in two rows and two tiers are caramel-wrapped with the heat-sealing layer as the outer surface. A known caramel-wrapping method can be adopted for the caramel wrapping. Specifically, for example, first, the toilet roll 2 placed on the flat wrapping paper 10 is wrapped so as to be rolled into the wrapping paper 10, and the overlapping portion of the wrapping paper 10 in the rolling direction is adhered (heat-welded) through the heat-sealing layer. Next, the excess portion beyond the end face position of the toilet roll 2 is folded and inserted on the end face side of the toilet roll 2 by folding the wrapping paper 10 in a mountain-folded shape and a valley-folded shape along the mountain-fold line and the valley-fold line, respectively. Then, the portions where the outer surfaces of the wrapping paper 10 overlap each other are adhered through the heat-sealing layer to cover the toilet roll 2 from the upper and lower end face sides. As a device for performing such caramel wrapping, a known device can be used. As a material constituting the heat-sealing layer, for example, a polyolefin-based resin or other thermoplastic resins can be used.

[0023] In this embodiment, a laminated sheet in which a heat-sealing layer for sealing is laminated on a part of one side of the paper base material is used as the wrapping paper 10. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and a laminated sheet in which a heat-sealing layer for sealing is laminated over the entire surface of one side of the paper base material may be used. Also in this case, four toilet rolls 2 arranged in two rows and two tiers can be caramel-wrapped in the same manner as when a laminated sheet in which a heat-sealing layer for sealing is laminated on a part of one side of the paper base material is used.

[0024] In the package 1 according to the present embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, there are a wrapping paper 10 that wraps four toilet rolls 2 together, and a strip of paper 15 for a handle whose both ends are joined to the outer surface of the wrapping paper 10 at both side surfaces of the package 1 so that the middle part faces the top surface 10T of the package 1. The middle part of the strip of paper 15 is set to a foldable length L2 between the joining parts 18 of both ends of the strip of paper 15 to the outer surface of the wrapping paper 10 on both side surfaces of the package 1, and a temporary fixing means 16 is provided for temporarily fixing the middle part of the strip of paper 15 in a folded state between the joining parts 18 of both ends of the strip of paper 15 to the outer surface of the wrapping paper 10 on both side surfaces of the package 1.

[0025] The strip of paper 15 contains at least a paper base material. The paper base material is obtained by papermaking a slurry containing a pulp component that is a fiber raw material. Examples of the pulp component include wood pulp, non-wood pulp, and waste paper pulp.

[0026] In FIGS. 1 to 3, the folded part formed by folding the middle part of the strip of paper 15 for a handle is 17, the length between the joining parts 18 of both ends of the strip of paper 15 is L1, and the length between the joining parts 18 of both ends of the strip of paper 15 after releasing the temporary fixing means 16 (after removing the adhesion of the re-peelable adhesive parts 16a and 16b described later) is L2. Also, the joining part 18 is a joining part for both ends of the strip of paper 15 and can be joined with a bonding force stronger than that of the re-peelable adhesive of the temporary fixing means 16. In the present embodiment, as the strip of paper 15, a laminated sheet in which heat-sealing layers for joining are laminated on one side of the paper base material at both ends thereof is used, and the heat-sealing layer is used as the joining part 18, and both ends of the strip of paper 15 are joined to the outer surface of the wrapping paper 10 at both side surfaces of the package 1 with a bonding force stronger than that of the re-peelable adhesive of the temporary fixing means 16. Note that the strip of paper 15 is not limited to the case of using a laminated sheet in which heat-sealing layers for joining are laminated at both ends of the paper base material, and a laminated sheet in which a heat-sealing layer for joining is laminated over the entire surface on one side of the paper base material may be used.

[0027] The folded portion 17, including the folded back portions 17a and 17b, is Z-shaped in the cross-sectional view of Fig. 3(a) (Z-fold). As shown in Figs. 3(a) and 3(b), the length L2 between the joints 18 at both ends of the paper wrapper 15 is sufficiently longer than the length L1 between the joints 18 at both ends of the paper wrapper 15, so that the folded portion 17 can be formed in the middle portion between the both ends of the paper wrapper 15. On the other hand, when the temporary fastening means 16 is released, the paper wrapper 15 becomes sufficiently long so that the user can firmly grip the paper wrapper 15 for carrying the package 1. In addition, if the temporary fastening means 16 is a removable adhesive, it is possible to return the package 1 from the state shown in Fig. 3(b) to the state shown in Fig. 3(a).

[0028] With this configuration, the middle part of the banding paper 15 is of a length that allows it to be folded between the joints 18 of both ends of the banding paper 15 to the outer surface of the wrapping paper 10 on both sides of the packaging body 1, and temporary fastening means 16 is provided for temporarily fastening the middle part of the banding paper 15 in a folded state between the joints 18 of both ends of the banding paper 15 to the outer surface of the wrapping paper 10 on both sides of the packaging body 1, which makes it less likely that the middle part of the banding paper 15 will protrude and get in the way when stored in a warehouse at a factory. Also, by releasing the temporary fastening state of the middle part of the banding paper 15, the middle part of the banding paper 15 becomes sufficiently longer than the length between the joints 18 of both ends of the banding paper 15 to the outer surface of the wrapping paper 10 on both sides of the packaging body 1, which makes it easy to grip the middle part of the banding paper 15 when carrying it, and makes it less likely that the middle part of the banding paper 15 is difficult to grip when carrying it.

[0029] In order to obtain the effects of the present invention, the ratio of the length L2 to the length L1 is preferably equal to or greater than 1.05 and equal to or less than 1.30.

[0030] In the package 1 according to this embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the temporary fixing means 16 is a releasable adhesive that joins the middle portions of the strip paper 15 to each other in a folded state. The releasable adhesive can be appropriately selected from among conventionally known releasable adhesives in consideration of its adhesive strength and the like. For example, in addition to a vinyl acetate resin adhesive having a solid content concentration of 35 to 45%, an emulsion-type acrylic resin adhesive and the like can be mentioned. As shown in FIG. 3(a), the temporary fixing means 16 is provided as a first releasable adhesive portion 16a between the first folded-back portion 17a and the outer surface of the strip paper 15.

[0031] With this configuration, even after releasing the temporary fixing state of the middle portion of the strip paper 15, the middle portion of the strip paper 15 can be temporarily fixed again in a folded state, so that the middle portion of the strip paper 15 does not get in the way even in a storage state at home or the like.

[0032] In addition, in the package 1 according to this embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the temporary fixing means 16 is a releasable adhesive that joins the middle portion of the strip paper 15 in a folded state to the outer surface of the wrapping paper 10 on the top surface 10T of the package 1. As shown in FIG. 3(a), the temporary fixing means 16 is provided as a second releasable adhesive portion 16b between the second folded-back portion 17b and the outer surface of the wrapping paper 10 on the top surface 10T of the package 1.

[0033] With this configuration, even after releasing the temporary fixing state of the middle portion of the strip paper 15 for the handle, the middle portion of the strip paper 15 can be temporarily fixed again in a folded state, so that the middle portion of the strip paper 15 does not get in the way even in a storage state at home or the like.

[0034] In this embodiment, the first releasable adhesive portion 16a and the second releasable adhesive portion 16b are provided as the temporary fixing means 16. However, any configuration that can temporarily fix the middle portion of the strip paper 15 in a folded state between the joining portions of both ends of the strip paper 15 to the outer surface of the wrapping paper 10 is acceptable, and either the first releasable adhesive portion 16a or the second releasable adhesive portion 16b may be omitted.

[0035] In the present invention, preferably, the basis weight of the wrapping paper 10 is 30 g / m 2 ~65 g / m 2 . With this configuration, the wrapping paper 10 is less likely to tear, and good water resistance can be obtained, and moreover, the sealing strength of the bottom surface 10B and the top surface 10T of the wrapping paper 10 can be improved. That is, if the basis weight of the wrapping paper 10 is less than 30 g / m 2 , the wrapping paper 10 is likely to tear, and good water resistance cannot be obtained. Further, if the basis weight of the wrapping paper 10 exceeds 65 g / m 2 , when sealing the bottom surface 10B and the top surface 10T of the package 1, the heating temperature of the heat-sealing layer of the wrapping paper 10 decreases, and good sealing strength cannot be obtained (the sealing strength decreases).

[0036] Conventionally, a package in which a plurality of roll-shaped sanitary thin papers or sanitary thin paper laminates are packaged together with a film is known. In this type of package, the middle part of the belt-shaped film for the handle is in contact with the top surface, and both ends of the belt-shaped film are joined to both side surfaces, and by gripping the middle part of the belt-shaped film, it can be easily carried. Such packages are described in Patent Documents 1 to 3, respectively.

[0037] By the way, in recent years, the problem of plastic waste has become serious worldwide. For the improvement of the global environment, it is desired to change the packaging material from plastic to other materials. Also in a package in which a plurality of roll-shaped sanitary thin papers or sanitary thin paper laminates are packaged together, changing the packaging material from plastic to paper material has been proposed in, for example, Patent Document 4.

[0038] However, regarding the belt-shaped film for the handle, simply replacing it with a strip of paper does not stretch and contract like a film, so it is difficult to grip when carrying the package, and in some cases, there is a risk of breakage. Therefore, in order to easily grip the strip of paper when carrying the package, it is conceivable to make the middle part of the strip of paper longer than the length between the joining parts of both ends of the strip of paper. However, in this case, there is a risk that the middle part of the strip of paper protrudes and becomes an obstacle in the storage state from the factory to the warehouse, etc.

[0039] According to this embodiment, the middle part of the handle wrapper 15 has a length L2 that allows it to be folded between the joints 18 of both ends of the wrapper 15 to the outer surface of the wrapping paper 10 on both sides of the packaging body 1, and temporary fastening means 16 is provided for temporarily fastening the middle part of the wrapper 15 in a folded state between the joints 18 of both ends of the wrapper 15 to the outer surface of the wrapping paper 10 on both sides of the packaging body 1, so that inconveniences such as the middle part of the wrapper 15 protruding and becoming a hindrance during storage in a warehouse at a factory are unlikely to occur. Also, by releasing the temporary fastening state of the middle part of the wrapper 15, the middle part of the wrapper 15 becomes sufficiently longer than the length between the joints 18 of both ends of the wrapper 15 to the outer surface of the wrapping paper 10 on both sides of the packaging body 1, which makes it easy to grip the middle part of the wrapper 15 when carrying it, and thus makes it less likely that inconveniences such as difficulty in gripping the middle part of the wrapper 15 when carrying it occur.

[0040] In this embodiment, as described above, the folded portion 17 of the handle wrapper 15 has a Z-shape when the package 1 is viewed from the front, but the present invention is not limited to this.

[0041] Fig. 4 is a schematic cross-sectional view of a modified example of this embodiment taken along the line IIIa-IIIa in Fig. 2. Among the components constituting the package 1 according to this embodiment, those having similar functions are given the same reference numerals as those in the first embodiment, and the description thereof will be omitted.

[0042] In this modification, as shown in Fig. 4, the folded portion 17' includes the third to sixth folded portions 17c, 17d, 17e, and 17f, and thus has an Ω-shape in the cross-sectional view of Fig. 4 (Ω-fold). In this modification, the temporary fastening means 16 is provided as the third removable adhesive portion 16c between the third folded portion 17c and the outer surface of the wrapping paper 15, as the fourth removable adhesive portion 16d between the fourth folded portion 17d and the outer surface of the wrapping paper 10 on the top surface 10T of the wrapping body 1, as the fifth removable adhesive portion 16e between the fifth folded portion 17e and the outer surface of the wrapping paper 15, and as the sixth removable adhesive portion 16f between the sixth folded portion 17f and the outer surface of the wrapping paper 10 on the top surface 10T of the wrapping body 1.

[0043] In addition, in this modified example, similar to the first embodiment, either one of the third releasable adhesive portion 16c or the fourth releasable adhesive portion 16d may be omitted, and either one of the fifth releasable adhesive portion 16e or the sixth releasable adhesive portion 16f may be omitted.

[0044] According to this modified example, similar to the first embodiment, inconveniences such as the middle part of the strip paper 15 protruding and getting in the way during storage in the warehouse at the factory are less likely to occur. Also, if the temporary fixing means 16 is released during carrying (if the adhesion of the third to sixth releasable adhesive portions 16c - 16f is removed), the middle part of the strip paper 15 can be easily gripped, and inconveniences such as difficulty in gripping the middle part of the strip paper 15 during carrying are less likely to occur.

[0045] <Second Embodiment> In the second embodiment of the present invention, as described above, different from the first embodiment, a stack of cartons 3 containing the sanitary tissue laminate is packaged with the wrapping paper 10, and similar to the first embodiment, a strip paper 15 for a handle having a folding portion 17 that folds in a Z - shape and a temporary fixing means 16 is provided on the top surface side of the package 1' of the stack of cartons 3.

[0046] FIG. 5 is an overall perspective view of a package obtained by caramel - wrapping a stack of cartons 3 containing the sanitary tissue laminate according to this embodiment. Among the elements constituting the package according to this embodiment, those having the same functions are denoted by the same reference numerals as in the first embodiment, and their descriptions are omitted.

[0047] According to this embodiment, similar to the first embodiment, inconveniences such as the middle part of the strip paper 15 protruding and getting in the way during storage in the warehouse at the factory are less likely to occur. Also, if the temporary fixing means 16 is released during carrying, the middle part of the strip paper 15 can be easily gripped, and inconveniences such as difficulty in gripping the middle part of the strip paper 15 during carrying are less likely to occur.

[0048] In this embodiment, the mode of accommodating the sanitary tissue laminate in a carton has been described. However, in the present invention, a mode of accommodating the sanitary tissue laminate in a paper package may also be acceptable.

[0049] <Others> The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments and the modification examples described herein, and appropriate changes and modifications can be made without departing from the technical idea of the present invention.

[0050] For example, each of the above embodiments relates to caramel packaging. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and it can be applied to various packaging forms such as gusset packaging and pillow packaging (see Patent Document 4 for specific packaging).

[0051] In addition, in the above first embodiment, the package 1 packages four roll-shaped sanitary tissues in two rows. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and any package that packages a plurality of roll-shaped sanitary tissues may be used.

[0052] Also, in each of the above embodiments, both ends of the strip of paper 15 for the handle are adhered to the outer surface of the wrapping paper 10 on both side surfaces of the package 1. However, they may be adhered to the outer surface of the wrapping paper 10 on the top surface of the package 1.

[0053] Also, in each of the above embodiments and their modification examples, as the strip of paper 15, a laminated sheet in which heat seal layers are laminated at both ends on one side of a paper base material is used, and both ends of the strip of paper 15 are joined to the outer surface of the wrapping paper 10 on both side surfaces of the package 1 with the heat seal layers as the joining portions 18. However, any configuration may be used as long as the joining portions 18 join both ends of the strip of paper 15 to the outer surface of the wrapping paper 10 on both side surfaces of the package 1 with a bonding force stronger than that of the temporary fixing means 16. For example, a strongly adhesive adhesive may be used to adhere both ends of the strip of paper 15 to the outer surface of the wrapping paper 10 on both side surfaces of the package 1.

[0054] Furthermore, in each of the above-described embodiments and their modifications, the temporary fixing means 16 is a re-detachable adhesive, but the present invention is not limited thereto. For example, it may be a weakly adhesive adhesive that does not have re-detachability, and it is not limited to adhesives, and it may be a paper seal or the like. Also, the location where the temporary fixing means 16 is provided only needs to be able to temporarily fix the folded state of the middle part of the strip paper 15, and is not limited to the case of temporarily fixing the folded state of the middle part of the strip paper 15 on the top surface side of the package 1 described above. The middle part of the strip paper 15 may be temporarily fixed in a folded state on the side surface (or circumferential surface) side of the package 1.

[0055] In each of the above-described embodiments and their modifications, the strip paper 15 for the handle is configured such that when the user grips it, the top surface 10T of the package 1 comes to the upper side in the vertical direction. However, the present invention is not limited thereto. The strip paper 15 for the handle may be provided on the side surface of the package 1 and configured such that when the user grips it, the side surface (circumferential surface 10P) of the package 1 comes to the upper side in the vertical direction.

[0056] Also, the temporary fixing means 16 and the joint portion 18 for both ends of the strip paper are not limited to the sizes and shapes shown in FIGS. 3(a), 3(b), and 4, and various sizes, shapes, and numbers can be adopted as long as the effects of the present invention are achieved.
