Modes for Carrying Out the Invention

[0015] Hereinafter, the toilet tissue storage container according to the embodiment of the present invention will be described based on FIGS. 1 to 9. However, the technical scope of the present invention is not limited to the illustrated examples.

[0016] Furthermore, the method of installing the tissue paper storage container according to the embodiment of the present invention is not limited to a state in which the dispensing hole faces upward. However, in the following description, the X-axis, Y-axis, and Z-axis, as well as the front-to-back direction, left-to-right direction, and up-to-down direction, will be defined and explained based on the state in which the dispensing hole faces upward, as shown in Figure 1. Specifically, the side of the tissue paper storage container with the dispensing hole will be called "up," the opposite side "down," the side to which the lid and the opening / closing lid are connected will be called "rear," the opposite side "front," the right hand side when facing rearward will be called "right," and the left hand side when facing rearward will be called "left." The axis along the front-to-back direction will be called the X-axis, the axis along the left-to-right direction will be called the Y-axis, and the axis along the up-to-down direction will be called the Z-axis.

[0017] [1 First Embodiment] A sanitary tissue paper storage container 100 according to the first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to Figures 1 to 4.

[0018] [(1) Configuration of the Embodiment] The sanitary tissue paper storage container 100 is a container in which sanitary tissue paper P is stored, and as shown in Figures 1 to 4, it comprises a container body 1, a hook 2, a lid 3, an opening / closing lid 4, and a dispensing section 5.

[0019] The sanitary tissue paper P is, for example, a roll of wet wipes impregnated with a liquid, and is stored in the container body 1 in a roll-like state along an axis parallel to the Z-axis. The sanitary tissue paper P has perforations formed at regular intervals along its length, and the user uses the sanitary tissue paper P after tearing it off along these perforations.

[0020] [a Container body] The container body 1 is a container for storing sanitary tissue paper P. As shown in Figures 1 to 4, it has a cylindrical side surface 11 and a circular bottom surface 12 located below it, and is formed in a bottomed cylindrical shape with an open top surface, and an opening 13 is provided across the entire surface of the top surface. In addition, as shown in Figure 4, a male screw portion 111 is provided along the circumferential direction on the outer surface of the upper end of the side surface.

[0021] For example, the material used for the container body 1 can be PE (polyethylene), PP (polypropylene), PET (polyethylene terephthalate), ABS resin, etc. Furthermore, the manufacturing method for the container body 1 is not particularly limited; for example, it may be manufactured by blow molding or other methods. The shape of the container body 1 is preferably cylindrical as described above, but is not limited to this, as long as it can accommodate the sanitary tissue paper P. For example, it may be formed in a prism shape that is pentagonal, hexagonal, etc. in plan view.

[0022] As shown in Figures 2 to 4, the lower surface 12 of the container body 1 has a storage section 121 which is a concave portion that extends upwards. As shown in Figures 2 and 3, the storage section 121 is formed such that the lower surface 12 of the container body 1 is recessed upwards, creating a semicircular shape when viewed from below, in accordance with the shape of the hook 2.

[0023] [b hook] As shown in Figures 2 and 3, the hook 2 is formed in a semicircular shape by a rod-shaped member and is rotatably connected at both ends to the storage section 121 on the lower surface 12 of the container body 1. The material used to form the hook 2 is not particularly limited, as long as it can be used to hang the sanitary tissue storage container 100 using the hook 2, as described later. It may be made of the same PE, PP, PET, ABS resin, etc. as the container body 1, or it may be made of a different material such as metal. Furthermore, the method for manufacturing the hook 2 is not particularly limited. If a resin material is used, it may be manufactured by methods such as injection molding.

[0024] The hook 2 is configured to be able to be rotated using both ends as pivot points, allowing it to switch between a state in which the entire hook is stored within the storage section 121, as shown in Figure 2, and a state in which the portion excluding the vicinity of both ends protrudes from the storage section 121, as shown in Figure 3. Furthermore, it is preferable that the hook 2 is configured to be able to fix its angle in multiple stages during the process of rotating it using both ends as pivot points.

[0025] [c Lid body] As shown in Figure 4, the lid 3 is a component attached to the top of the container body 1 so as to cover the opening 13. As shown in Figures 1 to 4, it has a cylindrical side surface 31 and a circular top surface 32 located above it, and is formed in a bottomed cylindrical shape with an open bottom, and an opening 33 is provided across the entire bottom surface. Furthermore, as shown in Figure 4, a female screw portion 311 is provided on the inner surface of the lower end of the side surface 31 along the circumferential direction.

[0026] The lid 3 can be made from the same material as the container body 1, such as PE, PP, PET, or ABS resin. Furthermore, the manufacturing method for the lid 3 is not particularly limited and can be the same as for the container body 1, such as by blow molding. The shape of the lid 3 is not limited to a cylindrical shape; it can be formed so that, in a plan view, it is the same shape as the container body 1, depending on the shape of the container body 1.

[0027] As shown in Figures 1 and 4, a recessed portion 321 is formed in the center of the upper surface 32 of the lid 3, and as shown in Figure 4, a hole 322 is formed in the recessed portion 321 so as to penetrate the lid 3, and as shown in Figures 1 and 4, a first annular wall portion 323 is formed so as to surround the hole 322.

[0028] The hole 322 is a circular opening in plan view formed to penetrate the upper surface 32 of the lid 3, and is used to attach the removal section 5. Furthermore, the first annular wall portion 323 is formed to protrude upward in a cylindrical shape and is arranged to surround the hole portion 322.

[0029] [d Open / close lid] The opening / closing lid 4 is a member that is rotatably attached to the lid body 3, and as shown in Figures 1 and 4, comprises an opening / closing lid body 41 and a second annular wall portion 42. The material for the opening / closing lid 4 can be the same as that used for the container body 1 and lid 3, for example, PE, PP, PET, ABS resin, etc. Furthermore, the manufacturing method for the opening / closing lid 4 is not particularly limited and can be manufactured by the same method as the container body 1 and lid 3, for example, by blow molding.

[0030] As shown in Figures 1 and 4, the opening / closing lid body 41 is a flat, plate-shaped member whose one end is rotatably connected to the center of the Y-axis direction near the rear end of the recess 321 on the upper surface 32 of the lid body 3.

[0031] The opening / closing lid body 41 has a shape in plan view that is substantially the same as the shape of the recess 321 in plan view, except for the front end. It is configured to be fitted into the recess 321 and fixed in place when rotated around its rear end, which is connected to the lid body 3, to be parallel to the XY plane.

[0032] As shown in Figures 1 and 4, the second annular wall portion 42 is a portion that protrudes downward in a cylindrical shape from the opening / closing lid body 41, provided on the lower surface side of the opening / closing lid body 41 when the opening / closing lid 4 is in the closed state, that is, when the opening / closing lid body 41 is parallel to the XY plane.

[0033] The second annular wall portion 42 is formed at a position facing the first annular wall portion 323 of the lid 3 when the opening / closing lid 4 is in the closed state, such that its inner diameter is the same as or slightly larger than the outer diameter of the first annular wall portion 323. As a result, when the opening / closing lid 4 is in the closed state, the first annular wall portion 323 is recessed into the second annular wall portion 42, thereby improving the airtightness of the outlet hole 52 formed in the outlet portion 5 attached to the hole 322 of the lid 3.

[0034] [e Removal section] As shown in Figures 1 and 4, the dispensing section 5 is a member formed in a substantially cylindrical shape that is circular in plan view, and is made of an elastically deformable material such as silicone rubber. The manufacturing method of the dispensing section 5 is not particularly limited and may be manufactured by methods such as injection molding.

[0035] As shown in Figures 1 and 4, the dispensing section 5 has a recess 51 in the center of its upper surface, which is a circular recess in plan view, and a dispensing hole 52 is formed in the center of the recess 51, which is an opening for taking out sanitary tissue paper P from inside the sanitary tissue paper storage container 100.

[0036] Figure 1 shows the shape of the removal hole 52 as a cross-shaped notch. This shape is preferable from the viewpoint of applying appropriate resistance when removing the sanitary tissue paper P, cutting it along the perforations, and holding the next sanitary tissue paper P in a position protruding from the removal hole 52. However, the shape is not limited to this, as long as the sanitary tissue paper P can be removed.

[0037] Furthermore, as shown in Figure 4, the removal section 5 is formed to be slightly larger than the hole 322 formed in the lid 3 in a plan view, and is equipped with a groove 53, which is a recess formed around the side surface, so that it can be attached to the lid 3 by inserting the edge around the hole 322 of the lid 3 into the groove 53.

[0038] [(2) Effects of the Embodiment] According to the sanitary tissue paper storage container 100 of this embodiment, a hook 2 is provided on the lower surface 12 opposite the upper surface 32 which has a removal section 5 with a removal hole 52 formed therein for removing the sanitary tissue paper P stored inside. Therefore, the sanitary tissue paper storage container 100 can be hung by the hook 2 with the removal hole 52 facing downwards. Therefore, even when the dispensing hole 52 is facing downwards, the sanitary tissue storage container 100 can be installed, and the sanitary tissue P can still be taken out and used in that state. This expands the method of installing a sanitary tissue storage container so that sanitary tissue can be taken out and used from the sanitary tissue storage container.

[0039] Furthermore, when a sanitary tissue storage container is placed with its bottom facing downwards, it is usually necessary to use both hands to remove the sanitary tissue from inside. This is because one hand must hold the container to prevent it from moving due to resistance during removal, while the other hand must pull out the tissue. In contrast, if the sanitary tissue storage container 100 according to this embodiment is hung by the hook 2 with the removal hole 52 facing downwards, the sanitary tissue P can be removed by pulling it downwards through the removal hole 52, without having to hold down the sanitary tissue storage container 100. This makes it easy to remove the sanitary tissue from inside with one hand.

[0040] Furthermore, by providing a storage compartment 121 on the bottom surface 12 that can accommodate the hook 2, the hook 2 can be stored inside the storage compartment 121 when not in use. This prevents the hook 2 from protruding from the bottom surface 12 and interfering with the placement of the sanitary tissue storage container 100 when it is placed on a desk or the like with the bottom surface 12 facing downwards.

[0041] Furthermore, since the hook 2 is rotatably attached to the lower surface 12, it is easy to adjust the angle of the hook 2 when using it, and by rotating the hook 2, it is possible to switch between a state in which the hook 2 is stored in the storage section 121 and a state in which the hook 2 is not stored in the storage section 121 and protrudes from the lower surface 12.

[0042] [2 Second Embodiment] Next, a sanitary tissue paper storage container 100A according to a second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to Figures 5 to 9. Note that parts identical to those in the sanitary tissue storage container 100 according to the first embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals and their descriptions are omitted.

[0043] [(1) Configuration of the Embodiment] The sanitary tissue paper storage container 100A is a container in which sanitary tissue paper P is stored, and as shown in Figures 5 to 9, it comprises a container body 1A, a hook 2A, a lid 3A, an opening / closing lid 4, and a dispensing section 5.

[0044] [a Container body] The container body 1A is formed in the same way as the container body 1 according to the first embodiment, with a bottomed cylindrical shape with an open top, and a storage section 121A, which is a recessed portion that extends upward, is formed on the bottom surface 12A, as shown in Figures 6 to 8. As shown in Figures 6 and 7, the storage section 121A is formed such that the lower surface 12A of the container body 1A is recessed upwards, creating a hook-shaped form when viewed from below, in accordance with the shape of the hook 2A.

[0045] As shown in Figures 6 to 8, a first mounting portion 1211, which is a spherically recessed portion, is formed at one end of the storage portion 121A, and the inner diameter of the first mounting portion 1211 is slightly larger than the outer diameter of the fitting portion 21 of the hook 2A, which will be described later. This allows the hook 2A to be detachably attached to the lower surface 12A by fitting the fitting portion 21 into the first mounting portion 1211, and by rotating the hook 2A with the fitting portion 21 as a pivot point, it is possible to switch between a state in which the entire hook 2A is stored inside the storage portion 121A, as shown in Figures 6 and 8, and a state in which the portion of the hook 2A other than the fitting portion 21 protrudes from the storage portion 121A, as shown in Figure 7.

[0046] [b hook] As shown in Figures 6 to 9, the hook 2A is formed in a hook shape by a rod-shaped member and has a spherical fitting portion 21 at one end.

[0047] The fitting portion 21 is formed to be spherical in shape, with a diameter slightly smaller than the inner diameter of the first mounting portion 1211 formed at one end of the storage portion 121A on the lower surface 12A of the container body 1A. As a result, as described above, the hook 2A can be detachably attached to the lower surface 12A by fitting the fitting portion 21 into the first mounting portion 1211, and by rotating the hook 2A with the fitting portion 21 as a pivot point, it is possible to switch between a state in which the entire hook 2A is stored inside the storage portion 121A, as shown in Figures 6 and 8, and a state in which the portion of the hook 2A other than the fitting portion 21 protrudes from the storage portion 121A, as shown in Figure 7.

[0048] [c Lid body] The lid 3A is formed in the same closed-bottom cylindrical shape as the lid 3 according to the first embodiment, and as shown in Figures 5 and 9, a second mounting portion 324, which is a spherical recess, is formed to the left of the recess 321 on the upper surface 32A.

[0049] The second mounting portion 324 is formed as a spherical recess of the same shape and size as the first mounting portion 1211 formed at one end of the storage portion 121A on the lower surface 12A of the container body 1A. By fitting the fitting portion 21 of the hook 2A into the second mounting portion 324, the hook 2A can be detachably attached to the upper surface 32A as shown in Figure 9, and the hook 2A can be rotated using the fitting portion 21 as a pivot point.

[0050] [d Open / close lid] The opening and closing lid 4 is the same as that of the sanitary tissue paper storage container 100 according to the first embodiment.

[0051] [e Removal section] The dispensing section 5 is the same as that of the sanitary tissue paper storage container 100 according to the first embodiment.

[0052] [(2) Effects of the Embodiment] According to the sanitary tissue paper storage container 100A of this embodiment, when the fitting portion 21 of the hook 2A is fitted into the first mounting portion 1211 and the hook 2A is attached to the lower surface 12A, the hook 2A is provided on the lower surface 12A which faces the upper surface 32A having a removal portion 5 in which a removal hole 52 for removing the sanitary tissue paper P stored inside is formed. Therefore, the sanitary tissue paper storage container 100A can be hung by the hook 2A with the removal hole 52 facing downwards. Therefore, even when the dispensing hole 52 is facing downwards, the sanitary tissue storage container 100A can be installed, and the sanitary tissue P can be taken out and used in that state, thus achieving the same effects as the sanitary tissue storage container 100 according to the first embodiment.

[0053] Furthermore, in addition to the first mounting portion 1211 formed inside the storage portion 121A, a second mounting portion 324 is formed outside the storage portion 121A, making it possible to use the sanitary tissue paper storage container 100A with the hook 2A attached to a portion different from the portion where the storage portion 121A is formed.

[0054] Furthermore, since the first mounting portion 1211 is provided on the lower surface 12A and the second mounting portion 324 is provided on the upper surface 32A, when the first mounting portion 1211 is used and the hook 2A is attached to the lower surface 12A, the sanitary tissue storage container 100A can be installed with the outlet hole 52 facing downwards by hanging the sanitary tissue storage container 100A with the hook 2A. When the second mounting portion 324 is used and the hook 2A is attached to the upper surface 32A, the sanitary tissue storage container 100A can be installed with the outlet hole 52 facing upwards by hanging the sanitary tissue storage container 100A with the hook 2A. This makes it possible to install the sanitary tissue storage container 100A using the hook 2A in both states: one in which the sanitary tissue P is pulled out upwards, and another in which the sanitary tissue P is pulled out downwards. [3 Variations] Next, modifications of the first and second embodiments described above will be explained.

[0055] [(1) Variation 1: Change in the shape of the hook] In the first embodiment of the sanitary tissue storage container 100, the case in which the hook 2 is semicircular and both ends are connected to the lower surface 12 was described, and in the second embodiment of the sanitary tissue storage container 100A, the case in which the hook 2A is hook-shaped, one end is connected to the lower surface 12A and the vicinity of the other end is curved in a circular shape was described, but the shape of the hook is not limited to these.

[0056] Any member having a curved and / or bent shape that can be hung on any location is included in the hooks of this embodiment, including both cases: as in the first embodiment, where both ends are connected to the lower surface 12, forming an annular portion with the hook 2 and the lower surface 12; and as in the second embodiment, where only one end is connected to the lower surface 12A, and the portion near the other end is curved and / or bent so as to face a different direction from the portion near the one end, thus forming a hook shape.

[0057] Furthermore, in all embodiments, when the shape of the hook is changed, the shape of the recess serving as the storage area is also changed so that the hook can be stored in it.

[0058] [(2) Variation 2: Change in the shape of the container] In both the sanitary tissue storage container 100 according to the first embodiment and the sanitary tissue storage container 100A according to the second embodiment, the case where the container is a cylindrical bottle-shaped container has been described. In this regard, such a bottle-shaped container is most preferable because it is easy to use when hung using a hook, but the shape of the container is not limited to this.

[0059] For example, in any of the embodiments, the shape of the container may be a rectangular box-shaped container.

[0060] In this case, since the container is more stable compared to the bottle type, it is easy to install the container at an angle by using the hook, which protrudes from the bottom surface, as a support. Also, in this case, in order to increase the stability of the container when installed at an angle, it is preferable that the shape of the hook be rectangular rather than semicircular, with both ends connected to the bottom surface as in the first embodiment. Furthermore, it is preferable to use a material with high friction, such as silicone rubber, on the surface of the hook. [Explanation of Symbols]
