Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0004] In the above-described article storage box, the bent piece is bent along the curved folding rib. In this case, a force (return force) to return to the original state (unbent state) acts on the bent piece. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the bending angle of the bent piece from becoming too large. However, when the return force acts, the force for the pair of bent pieces to sandwich the article becomes stronger, and there is a problem that it becomes difficult to take out the article from the outlet.

[0005] The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and an object thereof is to provide an article storage box that can smoothly take out an article despite the return force acting.

Means for Solving the Problems

[0006] The article storage box according to the present invention is an article storage box for storing articles, comprising a box-shaped body having an outlet forming portion for forming an outlet for the articles, wherein the outlet forming portion includes first and second folded pieces that are bent diagonally upward so that their inner surfaces face each other, a curved first fold line for bending the first folded piece, and a curved second fold line for bending the second folded piece, wherein the first tip edge, which is the tip edge of the first folded piece, has a first convex portion that protrudes toward the second folded piece, and the second tip edge, which is the tip edge of the second folded piece, has a second convex portion that protrudes toward the first folded piece, and the first convex portion and the second convex portion are spaced apart from each other and face each other.

[0007] In this storage box for items, the protrusion (first protrusion) on the tip edge (first tip edge) of the first folded piece and the protrusion (second protrusion) on the tip edge (second tip edge) of the second folded piece are spaced apart from each other and face each other. By providing a gap between the first and second protrusions in this way, the force with which the items are held between the first and second folded pieces cannot become too strong. As a result, items can be smoothly removed from the opening. [Effects of the Invention]

[0008] According to the present invention, an article storage box is realized that allows articles to be smoothly removed despite the presence of a return force. [Brief explanation of the drawing]

Mode for Carrying Out the Invention

[0010] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail while referring to the drawings. In the description of the drawings, the same reference numerals are assigned to the same elements, and redundant descriptions are omitted. (First Embodiment)

[0011] FIG. 1 is a plan view showing a first embodiment of an article storage box according to the present invention. The article storage box 1 is an article storage box for storing articles, and includes a main body 10. Examples of the articles include toilet paper (tissue paper, toilet paper, paper towel, kitchen paper, etc.), gloves, or masks. In this embodiment, a plurality of articles are stored in the article storage box 1 (main body 10) in a stacked state.

[0012] The main body 10 has a box shape. Specifically, the main body 10 has a rectangular parallelepiped shape. The main body 10 has a main surface 12. The main surface 12 has a rectangular shape in plan view. In this embodiment, the main surface 12 is equal to the upper surface portion of the main body 10. However, the article storage box 1 may be used with the main surface 12 facing upward or with the main surface 12 facing sideways. [[ID=3​The main body 10 is preferably configured to allow for refilling of items. This configuration can be achieved, for example, by making the main surface 12 or other surfaces openable and closable. The main body 10 is flexible. As the material for the main body 10, for example, cardboard or other paper can be used. The item storage box 1 is preferably made of paper only.

[0014] The main body 10 has an outlet forming section 20. The outlet forming section 20 is provided on the main surface 12 of the main body 10. An outlet for dispensing articles is formed in the outlet forming section 20. The outlet forming section 20 has a horizontally elongated shape. That is, the dimensions of the outlet forming section 20 in the direction of the longer side of the main surface 12 (left-right direction in Figure 1) are larger than the dimensions of the outlet forming section 20 in the direction of the shorter side of the main surface 12 (up-down direction in Figure 1).

[0015] The outlet forming section 20 includes a folded piece 22 (first folded piece), a folded piece 24 (second folded piece), a crease 32 (first crease), and a crease 34 (second crease). The folded pieces 22 and 24 are folded diagonally upward from the main surface 12 so that their inner surfaces face each other. In other words, the folded pieces 22 and 24 have a double-door opening structure. Figure 1 shows the folded pieces 22 and 24 in an unfolded state.

[0016] Figure 2 is a plan view showing the outlet forming section 20. The tip edge 22a (first tip edge) of the folded piece 22 has a protrusion 26 (first protrusion). The tip edge 22a is the part of the periphery of the folded piece 22 that faces the outlet. The protrusion 26 projects toward the folded piece 24. The tip edge 22a has multiple protrusions 26. The multiple protrusions 26 have a congruent shape. The width w1 (see Figure 3) of each protrusion 26 is preferably 15 mm or more and 50 mm or less. The width w1 is equal to the distance between the vertices 27a of the recess 27 (the part between two adjacent protrusions 26). The vertices 27a are the points closest to the long side 12a (the long side on the fold line 32 side) of the main surface 12. Specifically, the width w1 is equal to the distance between a straight line L1 that passes through the vertex 27a located at one end of each protrusion 26 and is parallel to the short side direction of the main surface 12, and a straight line L2 that passes through the vertex 27a located at the other end of the protrusion 26 and is parallel to the short side direction of the main surface 12.

[0017] The length d1 of each protrusion 26 (see Figure 4) is preferably 3 mm or more and 7 mm or less. The length d1 is equal to the distance from the vertex 27a of the main surface 12 to the vertex 26a of each protrusion 26, in the direction of the shorter side of the main surface 12. The vertex 26a is the point furthest from the longer side 12a of the main surface 12. Specifically, the length d1 is equal to the distance between a straight line L3 that passes through the vertex 27a located at the end of each protrusion 26 and is parallel to the direction of the longer side of the main surface 12, and a straight line L4 that passes through the vertex 26a of the protrusion 26 and is parallel to the direction of the longer side of the main surface 12. If the distance from the vertex 27a at one end of the protrusion 26 to the longer side 12a is different from the distance from the vertex 27a at the other end of the protrusion 26 to the longer side 12a, the straight line L3 that passes through the vertex 27a closer to the longer side 12a shall be adopted.

[0018] The leading edge 24a (second leading edge) of the folded piece 24 has a protrusion 28 (second protrusion). The leading edge 24a is the part of the periphery of the folded piece 24 that faces the outlet. The protrusion 28 projects toward the folded piece 22. The leading edge 24a has multiple protrusions 28. The multiple protrusions 28 have a congruent shape. The width w2 (see Figure 5) of each protrusion 28 is preferably 15 mm or more and 50 mm or less. The width w2 is equal to the distance between the vertices 29a of the recess 29 (the part between two adjacent protrusions 28). The vertices 29a are the points closest to the long side 12b (the long side on the fold line 34 side) of the main surface 12. Specifically, the width w2 is equal to the distance between a straight line L5 that passes through the vertex 29a at one end of each protrusion 28 and is parallel to the short side direction of the main surface 12, and a straight line L6 that passes through the vertex 29a at the other end of the protrusion 28 and is parallel to the short side direction of the main surface 12. In this embodiment, the width w1 of the protrusion 26 and the width w2 of the protrusion 28 are equal to each other.

[0019] The length d2 of each protrusion 28 (see Figure 6) is preferably 3 mm or more and 7 mm or less. The length d2 is equal to the distance from the vertex 29a to the vertex 28a of each protrusion 28 in the direction of the short side of the main surface 12. The vertex 28a is the point furthest from the long side 12b of the main surface 12. Specifically, the length d2 is equal to the distance between a straight line L7 that passes through the vertex 29a located at the end of each protrusion 28 and is parallel to the direction of the long side of the main surface 12, and a straight line L8 that passes through the vertex 28a of the protrusion 28 and is parallel to the direction of the long side of the main surface 12. If the distance from the vertex 29a at one end of the protrusion 28 to the long side 12b is different from the distance from the vertex 29a at the other end of the protrusion 28 to the long side 12b, the straight line L7 that passes through the vertex 29a closer to the long side 12b shall be adopted. In this embodiment, the length d1 of the protrusion 26 and the length d2 of the protrusion 28 are equal to each other.

[0020] The protrusions 26 and 28 are spaced apart from each other. That is, when the folding pieces 22 and 24 are not folded, the protrusions 26 and 28 are spaced apart from each other. The distance d3 between the protrusions 26 and 28 (see Figure 7) is preferably 0.5 mm or more and 3 mm or less. The distance d3 is equal to the distance between the vertex 26a of the protrusion 26 and the vertex 28a of the protrusion 28. Specifically, the distance d3 is equal to the distance between the straight line L9 passing through vertex 26a and parallel to the long side direction of the main surface 12 and the straight line L10 passing through vertex 28a and parallel to the long side direction of the main surface 12.

[0021] The protrusions 26 and 28 face each other. The distance from the vertex 26a of the protrusion 26 to the vertex 28a of the protrusion 28 facing the protrusion 26, in the direction of the long side of the main surface 12, is preferably 1 / 4 or less of the width w1 or width w2. This distance is equal to the distance between a straight line passing through the vertex 26a and parallel to the direction of the short side of the main surface 12 and a straight line passing through the vertex 28a and parallel to the direction of the short side of the main surface 12. In this embodiment, the vertex 26a of each protrusion 26 and the vertex 28a of the protrusion 28 facing the protrusion 26 lie on the same straight line parallel to the direction of the short side of the main surface 12. That is, the distance is 0.

[0022] Returning to Figure 1, the outlet forming section 20 includes a cut-off section 20a. The cut-off section 20a is surrounded by cut lines and is the part that is cut off from the outlet forming section 20. The entire perimeter of the cut-off section 20a is composed of cut lines. The cut lines that make up the perimeter of the cut-off section 20a consist of a cut line 42 that coincides with the leading edge 22a of the folded piece 22, a cut line 44 that coincides with the leading edge 24a of the folded piece 24, a part of a cut line 46 (described later), and a part of a cut line 48 (described later). Cut lines 42, 44, 46, and 48 are perforations. There is only one cut-off section 20a between the folded piece 22 and the folded piece 24. The cut-off section 20a reaches the left-right end of the outlet forming section 20 (equal to the long side direction of the main surface 12).

[0023] The fold line 32 is a fold line for folding the folding piece 22. That is, the folding piece 22 is folded along the fold line 32. The fold line 32 coincides with the rear end edge of the folding piece 22 (the part of the periphery of the folding piece 22 that is not separated from the main surface 12 even after the folding piece 22 is folded). The fold line 32 is curved. Specifically, the fold line 32 is a curved shape that bulges outwards from the folding piece 22. The vertex 32a of the fold line 32 lies on the center line C1 that bisects the main surface 12 in the direction of the long side. The vertex 32a is the point closest to the long side 12a of the main surface 12. The fold line 32 is symmetrical with respect to the center line C1 as the axis of symmetry. It is preferable that the fold line 32 traces a circular arc or an elliptical arc.

[0024] Figure 8 is a plan view showing the fold line 32. The curvature ratio of the fold line 32 is preferably 2.3% to 11.6%, and more preferably 2.3% to 5.8%. Here, the curvature ratio is a numerical value that reflects the size of the curve, and is defined as the value obtained by dividing length d4 by length d5. Length d4 is equal to the length of the short side of the smallest rectangle R1 that can enclose the entire fold line 32. Length d4 is, for example, 2 mm to 20 mm. Length d5 ​​is equal to the length of the long side of rectangle R1. The short side and long side of rectangle R1 are parallel to the short side and long side of the main surface 12, respectively. Length d5 ​​is, for example, 120 mm to 200 mm.

[0025] The fold line 34 is a fold line for folding the folding piece 24. That is, the folding piece 24 is folded along the fold line 34. The fold line 34 coincides with the rear end edge of the folding piece 24 (the part of the periphery of the folding piece 24 that is not separated from the main surface 12 even after the folding piece 24 is folded). The fold line 34 is curved. Specifically, the fold line 34 is a curved shape that bulges outwards from the folding piece 24. The vertex 34a of the fold line 34 lies on the center line C1. The vertex 34a is the point closest to the long side 12b of the main surface 12. The fold line 34 is symmetrical with respect to the center line C1 as the axis of symmetry. It is preferable that the fold line 34 traces a circular arc or an elliptical arc.

[0026] In this embodiment, the fold line 34 has a shape congruent to the fold line 32. Furthermore, the fold line 34 is positioned symmetrically with respect to the fold line 32 with respect to the center line C2, which bisects the main surface 12 in the short-side direction. On the main surface 12, the entire folded piece 22 lies in the region between the center line C2 and the long side 12a, and the entire folded piece 24 lies in the region between the center line C2 and the long side 12b. Also, the folded pieces 22 and 24 are symmetrical with respect to the center line C2. The curvature ratio of the fold line 34 is preferably 2.3% or more and 11.6% or less, and more preferably 2.3% or more and 5.8% or less. The definition of the curvature ratio of the fold line 34 is the same as the definition of the curvature ratio of the fold line 32.

[0027] The outlet forming section 20 includes cut lines 46 and 48. Cut lines 46 and 48 are end cut lines that constitute the left and right ends of the outlet forming section 20. Cut line 46 connects one end of the fold line 32 and one end of the fold line 34. Cut line 46 coincides with the side edge of the folded piece 22 (the part of the periphery of the folded piece 22 other than the front edge 22a or the rear edge) and the side edge of the folded piece 24 (the part of the periphery of the folded piece 24 other than the front edge 24a or the rear edge). Cut line 46 is a straight line parallel to the short side direction of the main surface 12. Cut line 48 connects the other end of the fold line 32 and the other end of the fold line 34. Cut line 48 coincides with the side edges of the folded pieces 22 and 24. The cut line 48 is a straight line parallel to the short side direction of the main surface 12. The cut line 48 is positioned symmetrically with respect to the cut line 46 with respect to the center line C1 as the axis of symmetry.

[0028] Figure 9 is a perspective view showing the item storage box 1 in use. Figure 10 is a diagram illustrating the structure of the end face along line AA in Figure 9. The item is not shown in Figure 9. To use the item storage box 1, first, cuts are made in the dispensing opening forming section 20 along the cut lines 42, 44, 46, and 48. This cuts off the cut section 20a from the dispensing opening forming section 20. Next, the folded pieces 22 and 24 are folded diagonally upward along the creases 32 and 34, respectively. This forms a dispensing opening 50 between the folded pieces 22 and 24. The item 90 can be removed from the main body 10 by pulling it through the dispensing opening 50. Unlike a typical tissue paper storage box, the item storage box 1 does not have a plastic film over the dispensing opening 50.

[0029] The effects of the item storage box 1 will now be explained. In the item storage box 1, the protrusion 26 provided on the tip edge 22a of the bent piece 22 and the protrusion 28 provided on the tip edge 24a of the bent piece 24 are spaced apart from each other and face each other. By providing a gap between the protrusions 26 and 28 in this way, the force (clamping force) that grips the item 90 between the bent pieces 22 and 24 can be prevented from becoming too strong. As a result, the item 90 can be smoothly removed from the outlet 50. Therefore, an item storage box 1 is realized in which the item 90 can be smoothly removed despite the return force acting on it.

[0030] In the item storage box 1, the clamping force does not become too strong, thus reducing the risk of damaging the items 90 and the risk of getting injured by pinching fingers in the opening 50.

[0031] Furthermore, since the protrusions 26 and 28 face each other, the article 90 can be held between the protrusions 26 and 28. This makes it less likely for the article 90 pulled out from the outlet 50 to fall into the main body 10. This is advantageous when multiple articles 90 are taken out continuously from the article storage box 1.

[0032] Furthermore, by positioning the protrusions 26 and 28 opposite each other, it is possible to prevent the protrusions 26 and 28 from entering the recesses 29 and 27, respectively. If the protrusion 26 enters the recess 29, the protrusion 26 will push the article 90 into the recess 29, making it difficult to remove the article 90 from the outlet 50. Similarly, if the protrusion 28 enters the recess 27, the protrusion 28 will push the article 90 into the recess 27, making it difficult to remove the article 90 from the outlet 50. According to this embodiment, these problems can be resolved.

[0033] By reducing the lengths d1 and d2, the depths of the recesses 27 and 29 can also be reduced. A smaller depth for the recesses 27 and 29 is advantageous in minimizing the problems that occur when the article 90 is pressed into the recesses 27 and 29. From this viewpoint, it is preferable that the lengths d1 and d2 are 7 mm or less. On the other hand, if the lengths d1 and d2 are too small, the holding force of the protrusions 26 and 28 on the article 90 may become insufficient. From this viewpoint, it is preferable that the lengths d1 and d2 are 3 mm or more.

[0034] The lengths d1 of the protrusion 26 and d2 of the protrusion 28 are equal. In this case, it is possible to make the folded pieces 22 and 24 congruent in shape. By doing so, the aesthetic appearance of the outlet forming section 20 and, consequently, the article storage box 1 can be improved.

[0035] Increasing the gap d3 between the protrusions 26 and 28 is advantageous for smoothly removing the item 90. From this viewpoint, it is preferable that the gap d3 be 0.5 mm or more. On the other hand, if the gap d3 is too large, dust can easily enter the main body 10 through the outlet 50. From this viewpoint, it is preferable that the gap d3 be 3 mm or less.

[0036] The width w1 of the protrusion 26 and the width w2 of the protrusion 28 are equal to each other. This makes it possible to position the entire protrusion 26 and the entire protrusion 28 opposite each other.

[0037] By reducing the widths w1 and w2, the number of protrusions 26 and 28 can be increased. A larger number of protrusions 26 and 28 is advantageous for strengthening the holding force of the protrusions 26 and 28 on the article 90. From this viewpoint, it is preferable that the widths w1 and w2 are 50 mm or less. On the other hand, if the widths w1 and w2 are too small, the tips of the protrusions 26 and 28 become thin, making it easier for the article 90 to get caught on the bent pieces 22 and 24. From this viewpoint, it is preferable that the widths w1 and w2 are 15 mm or more.

[0038] The tip edge 22a has multiple protrusions 26, and the tip edge 24a has multiple protrusions 28. In this case, the holding force of the protrusions 26 and 28 on the article 90 can be strengthened compared to the case where the tip edges 22a and 24a each have only one protrusion 26 and one protrusion 28.

[0039] The multiple protrusions 26 provided on the tip edge 22a have a congruent shape. This improves the aesthetic appearance of the folded piece 22 and, consequently, the article storage box 1. Similarly, the multiple protrusions 28 provided on the tip edge 24a have a congruent shape. This improves the aesthetic appearance of the folded piece 24 and, consequently, the article storage box 1.

[0040] There is only one cut-off section 20a between the folded pieces 22 and 24. In this case, compared to the case where there are multiple cut-off sections, the work of forming the outlet 50 in the outlet forming section 20 becomes easier. In addition, the amount of waste (cut-off section 20a) generated at that time can be reduced.

[0041] The cut-out portion 20a reaches the left-right ends of the outlet forming portion 20. In this case, the gap between the protrusions 26 and 28 can be provided over the entire left-right length of the outlet forming portion 20. This is also advantageous for smoothly removing the article 90.

[0042] The fold line 32 is a curved shape that bulges outwards from the folded piece 22. In this case, unlike when folded along a straight fold line, a return force acts on the folded piece 22 when it is folded along the fold line 32. This prevents the bending angle of the folded piece 22 from becoming too large. This has the advantage of making it difficult for dust to enter the main body 10 through the outlet 50.

[0043] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the fold line 34 is also curved and bulges outwards from the folded piece 24. In this case, a return force acts on the folded piece 24 that has been folded along the fold line 34. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the bending angle of the folded piece 24 from becoming too large.

[0044] If the fold line 32 forms a circular or elliptical arc, it contributes to improving the aesthetic appearance of the outlet forming section 20 and, consequently, the article storage box 1. Similarly, if the fold line 34 forms a circular or elliptical arc, it contributes to improving the aesthetic appearance of the outlet forming section 20 and, consequently, the article storage box 1.

[0045] Increasing the curvature of the fold line 32 is advantageous for increasing the return force acting on the bent piece 22. From this viewpoint, it is preferable that the curvature of the fold line 32 be 2.3% or more. On the other hand, if the curvature of the fold line 32 is too large, the return force may become excessively strong. From this viewpoint, it is preferable that the curvature of the fold line 32 be 11.6% or less, and more preferably 5.8% or less.

[0046] Increasing the curvature of the fold line 34 is advantageous in strengthening the return force acting on the bent piece 24. From this viewpoint, it is preferable that the curvature of the fold line 34 be 2.3% or more. On the other hand, if the curvature of the fold line 34 is too large, the return force may become excessively strong. From this viewpoint, it is preferable that the curvature of the fold line 34 be 11.6% or less, and more preferably 5.8% or less.

[0047] Increasing the return force has the advantage of making it less likely for the folding pieces 22 and 24 to bend backward. In the article storage box 1, even with this increased return force, smooth removal of the article 90 can be ensured, as described above.

[0048] If the main body 10 is made of paper, the outer surface of the main body 10 can be used as a canvas for drawing. Furthermore, if line drawings are pre-printed on the outer surface of the main body 10, users can enjoy coloring. In other words, line drawings for coloring may be printed on the outer surface of the main body 10. For this reason, the item storage box 1 is also suitable as a child's toy.

[0049] If the main unit 10 is configured to allow refilling of the item 90, the main unit 10 can be reused repeatedly by refilling it with new item 90 after the item 90 has been used up, making it economical. Furthermore, this contributes to reducing the environmental burden by reducing waste (the main unit 10 that is no longer needed).

[0050] In the item storage box 1, there is no plastic film at the opening 50. This contributes to the reduction of plastic waste, and therefore the item storage box 1 also has the advantage of being environmentally friendly. (Second Embodiment)

[0051] Figure 11 is a perspective view showing a second embodiment of the article storage box according to the present invention. Figures 12 and 13 are a top view and a rear view, respectively, of the article storage box of Figure 11. Figures 14 and 15 are side views, respectively, of the article storage box of Figure 11. The article storage box 2 is an article storage box for storing articles and comprises a main body 10. In this embodiment, the article is a roll of sanitary paper 92. Examples of sanitary paper 92 include tissue paper, toilet paper, paper towels, kitchen paper, etc. Here, roll of sanitary paper 92 means a strip of sanitary paper 92 wound around an axis parallel to its short side. A cylindrical core may or may not be provided in the center of the sanitary paper 92.

[0052] The main body 10 has a main surface 12, a side surface 14, and a side surface 16. The main surface 12 is provided with an outlet forming section 20. The configuration of the outlet forming section 20 is as described in the first embodiment. However, in this embodiment, detailed illustration of the outlet forming section 20 is omitted. The side surface 14 and the side surface 16 are a pair of side surfaces perpendicular to the central axis of the sanitary paper 92. Here, the central axis of the sanitary paper 92 refers to a hypothetical axis corresponding to the central axis of a cylinder or cylinder when the roll of sanitary paper 92 is viewed as a cylinder or cylinder.

[0053] In this embodiment, the main body 10 further includes a cutting blade 62, and insertion portions 64 and 66. The cutting blade 62 is a portion for cutting the sanitary paper 92 pulled out from the outlet. The cutting blade 62 is provided at a position spaced apart from the outlet forming portion 20. Specifically, the cutting blade 62 is provided on the periphery of the main surface 12. The cutting blade 62 is integrally formed with the side surface 18 of the main body 10 (see Figure 13). The side surface 18 is a side surface perpendicular to the side surfaces 14 and 16. The cutting blade 62 protrudes above the main surface 12 (see Figures 14 and 15).

[0054] The insertion portion 64 is the part that is inserted into the gap in the center of the sanitary paper 92. As shown in Figure 14, the insertion portion 64 is provided on the side surface 14 of the main body 10. The outer shape of the insertion portion 64 is polygonal. Preferably, the outer shape of the insertion portion 64 is a regular n-gon (where n is an integer of 5 or more). In this embodiment, an example is shown where n=8. The insertion portion 64 has perforations 64a. The perforations 64a consist of multiple line segments connecting the center of the insertion portion 64 to each vertex. The perforations 64a are perforations. After making cuts in the side surface 14 along the perforations 64a, the tongue pieces (triangular parts with each side as the base) are folded inward along the periphery (each side of the polygon) of the insertion portion 64, thereby allowing the insertion portion 64 (multiple tongue pieces) to be inserted into the center of the sanitary paper 92. Thus, the insertion portion 64 is made up of a part of the side surface 14.

[0055] The insertion portion 66 is the part that is inserted into the gap in the center of the sanitary paper 92. As shown in Figure 15, the insertion portion 66 is provided on the side surface 16 of the main body 10. The outer shape of the insertion portion 66 is polygonal. Preferably, the outer shape of the insertion portion 66 is a regular n-gon, similar to the outer shape of the insertion portion 64. The insertion portion 66 has a perforation line 66a. The perforation line 66a consists of multiple line segments connecting the center of the insertion portion 66 to each vertex. The perforation line 66a is a perforation. After making a cut in the side surface 16 along the perforation line 66a, the tongue piece can be folded inward along the periphery of the insertion portion 66 to insert the insertion portion 66 into the center of the sanitary paper 92. In this way, the insertion portion 66 is made up of a part of the side surface 16. The insertion sections 64 and 66 are positioned so that they completely overlap each other when viewed from a direction perpendicular to the sides 14 and 16. The main body 10, including the cutting blade 62, insertion sections 64 and 66, is made entirely of the same material. The other components of the item storage box 2 are the same as those of the item storage box 1.

[0056] An example of how to use the item storage box 2 will be explained with reference to Figures 16 to 18. Figure 16 is a perspective view showing the item storage box 2 in use. Figure 17 is a diagram for explaining the structure of the end face along line BB in Figure 16. In Figure 16, the illustration of the sanitary paper 92 is omitted. To use the item storage box 2, first, cuts are made in the outlet forming section 20 along the cut lines 42, 44, 46, and 48. This cuts off the cut section 20a from the outlet forming section 20. Next, the folded pieces 22 and 24 are folded diagonally upward along the creases 32 and 34, respectively. This forms an outlet 50 between the folded pieces 22 and 24. In addition, cuts are made in the side surface 14 along the cut line 64a of the insertion section 64, and in the side surface 16 along the cut line 66a of the insertion section 66. Then, the insertion parts 64 and 66 are folded inward into the main body 10 and inserted into the center of the sanitary paper 92.

[0057] Next, as shown in Figure 17, the sanitary paper 92 is pulled out from the main body 10 by pulling one end of the sanitary paper 92. Subsequently, as shown in Figure 18, the pulled-out sanitary paper 92 is cut by pressing it against the tip of the cutting blade 62. This makes it possible to obtain a cut piece of sanitary paper 92 of the desired length.

[0058] An example of a method for manufacturing the article storage box 2 will be described with reference to Figures 19 and 20. First, a sheet 70 of sufficient size is prepared and cut into the shape shown in Figure 19. In this example, the sheet 70 is made of a single sheet of cardboard. The cut sheet 70 includes a portion 12p which will be the main surface 12, a portion 13p which will be the bottom surface of the main body 10 (the side opposite to the main surface 12), a portion 14p which will be the side surface 14, a portion 16p which will be the side surface 16, a portion 18p which will be the side surface 18, and a portion 19p which will be the remaining side surface of the main body 10 (side surfaces other than sides 14, 16, and 18). An outlet forming portion 20 is formed in portion 12p. Insertion portions 72 are connected to three sides of portion 12p. An insertion portion 64 is formed in portion 14p. Adhesive portions 74 are connected to two sides of portion 14p. An insertion portion 66 is formed in portion 16p. Adhesive portions 76 are connected to two sides of portion 16p. A cutting blade 62 is connected to portion 18p. Figure 19 shows the inner surfaces (inner surfaces of the main body 10) of each portion 12p, 13p, 14p, 16p, 18p, and 19p.

[0059] Next, fold the sheet 70 in a valley fold along folds F1 through F8. Fold F1 is located at the boundary between section 12p and section 16p. Fold F2 is located at the boundary between section 12p and each insert section 72. Fold F3 is located at the boundary between section 13p and section 14p. Fold F4 is located at the boundary between section 14p and each glued portion 74. Fold F5 is located at the boundary between section 13p and section 16p. Fold F6 is located at the boundary between section 16p and each glued portion 76. Fold F7 is located at the boundary between section 13p and section 18p. Also, fold F8 is located at the boundary between section 13p and section 19p.

[0060] Next, glue the adhesive portion 74 to the inner surfaces of portions 18p and 19p, and glue the adhesive portion 76 to the inner surfaces of portions 18p and 19p. Then, as shown in Figure 20, insert the insertion portion 72 into the space enclosed by portions 13p, 14p, 16p, 18p and 19p so that the insertion portion 72 overlaps the inner surfaces of portions 14p, 18p and 19p. As a result, the article storage box 2 (main body 10) shown in Figures 11 to 15 is obtained. In this example, the main body 10 is obtained from a single sheet 70. The insertion portion 72 may or may not be glued to the inner surfaces of portions 14p, 18p and 19p. In the former case, it is necessary to place the sanitary paper 92 in the space before gluing. In the latter case, a main body 10 having an openable and closable main surface 12 is obtained.

[0061] The effect of the item storage box 2 will now be explained. The main body 10 has a cutting blade 62. This makes it easier to cut the sanitary paper 92 cleanly compared to cutting the sanitary paper 92 pulled out from the main body 10 by hand.

[0062] The cutting blade 62 is positioned at a distance from the outlet forming section 20. In this case, after cutting, the sanitary paper 92 pulled out from the main body 10 remains between the outlet forming section 20 and the cutting blade 62. This has the advantage of making it easier to grasp the sanitary paper 92 when pulling it out next.

[0063] The cutting blade 62 is provided on the periphery of the main surface 12. In this case, by connecting the cutting blade 62 to the side surface of the main body 10, the main body 10 having the cutting blade 62 can be realized with a simple configuration. In fact, in the goods storage box 2, the cutting blade 62 is connected to the upper end of the side surface 18.

[0064] The main body 10 has insertion sections 64 and 66. This makes it less likely for the central axis of the sanitary paper 92 to wobble. This is advantageous for stably pulling out the sanitary paper 92 from the main body 10.

[0065] The insertion portion 64 is formed from a part of the side surface 14 of the main body 10. This allows the main body 10 having the insertion portion 64 to be realized with a simple configuration. Similarly, the insertion portion 66 is formed from a part of the side surface 16 of the main body 10. This allows the main body 10 having the insertion portion 66 to be realized with a simple configuration.

[0066] If the outer shape of each insertion section 64, 66 is a regular n-gon (where n is an integer of 5 or more), the outer shape will be close to a circle. This makes it easier to smoothly rotate the sanitary paper 92 with the insertion sections 64, 66 inserted in the center.

[0067] The main body 10, including the cutting blade 62, insertion section 64, and insertion section 66, is made entirely of the same material. This contributes to reducing the manufacturing cost of the article storage box 2. Other effects of the article storage box 2 are the same as those of the article storage box 1.

[0068] In this embodiment, the example given is that the outer shape of each insertion section 64, 66 is an n-sided polygon (where n is an integer of 5 or more). However, the outer shape of each insertion section 64, 66 may be a triangle or a quadrilateral. In that case, the sanitary paper 92 will be less likely to rotate smoothly, but on the other hand, the sanitary paper 92 will be less likely to rotate in the reverse direction. Therefore, there is an advantage in that the sanitary paper 92 pulled out from the main body 10 is less likely to roll back in.

[0069] In this embodiment, the case in which both the insertion portion 64 and the insertion portion 66 are provided on the main body 10 is illustrated. However, the main body 10 may be provided with only one of the insertion portion 64 or the insertion portion 66. Alternatively, the main body 10 may not be provided with either the insertion portion 64 or the insertion portion 66.

[0070] In this embodiment, the case in which the cutting blade 62 protrudes above the main surface 12 is illustrated. However, the cutting blade 62 may also protrude to the side of the main surface 12, for example, as shown in Figure 21. In that case, the cutting blade 62 can be formed integrally with the main surface 12.

[0071] In this embodiment, the case in which only one sheet of sanitary paper 92 is stored in the main body 10 is illustrated. However, the main body 10 may store multiple sheets of sanitary paper 92, for example, as shown in Figures 22 and 23. Figure 23 is a diagram illustrating the structure of the end face along the CC line in Figure 22. In this example, two sheets of sanitary paper 92 are stored in the main body 10. A partition portion 10a is provided inside the main body 10 to separate the two sheets of sanitary paper 92. The main surface 12 has multiple outlet forming portions 20 to correspond to multiple sheets of sanitary paper 92. That is, an outlet for one sheet of sanitary paper 92 is formed in one outlet forming portion 20, and an outlet for the other sheet of sanitary paper 92 is formed in another outlet forming portion 20.

[0072] When multiple sanitary papers 92 are stored in the main unit 10 in this way, convenience for the user is improved. For example, if multiple sanitary papers 92 of different types are stored in the main unit 10, the user can selectively take out the appropriate sanitary paper 92 from the main unit 10 according to their purpose. In addition, by providing multiple dispensing openings 20 to accommodate multiple sanitary papers 92, multiple sanitary papers 92 can be taken out from separate dispensing openings. This prevents interference between multiple sanitary papers 92 and allows each sanitary paper 92 to be taken out smoothly.

[0073] The present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, and various modifications are possible. In the above embodiments, the case in which the length d1 of the protrusion 26 and the length d2 of the protrusion 28 are equal was illustrated. However, as shown in Figure 24, for example, the lengths d1 and d2 may be different. In the same figure, the length d2 is greater than the length d1. When the lengths d1 and d2 are different in this way, the design freedom of the outlet forming portion 20 can be increased.

[0074] In the above embodiment, an example was given in which the multiple protrusions 26 have congruent shapes. However, the multiple protrusions 26 may have non-congruent shapes. In that case, it is sufficient if at least two of the multiple protrusions 26 provided on the tip edge 22a have non-congruent shapes. When the multiple protrusions 26 have non-congruent shapes in this way, the design freedom of the outlet forming portion 20 can be increased.

[0075] In the above embodiment, an example was given in which the multiple protrusions 28 have congruent shapes. However, the multiple protrusions 28 may have non-congruent shapes. In that case, it is sufficient if at least two of the multiple protrusions 28 provided on the tip edge 24a have non-congruent shapes. When the multiple protrusions 28 have non-congruent shapes in this way, the design freedom of the outlet forming portion 20 can be increased.

[0076] In the above embodiment, an example was given in which the tip edge 22a of the bent piece 22 has a corner shape. That is, an example was given in which the tip edge 22a has a corner at the vertex 27a of the recess 27. However, the tip edge 22a may have a shape without corners, for example, as shown in Figure 25. In the same figure, the tip edge 22a is wavy and is formed along a single continuous curve. When the tip edge 22a has a shape without corners in this way, the risk of damaging the article 90 and the risk of getting injured by pinching fingers in the dispensing opening 50 can be further reduced.

[0077] In the above embodiment, an example was given in which the tip edge 24a of the bent piece 24 has a corner shape. That is, an example was given in which the tip edge 24a has a corner at the vertex 29a of the recess 29. However, the tip edge 24a may have a shape without corners, for example, as shown in Figure 26. In the same figure, the tip edge 24a is wavy and is formed along a single continuous curve. When the tip edge 24a has a shape without corners in this way, the risk of damaging the article 90 and the risk of getting injured by pinching fingers in the dispensing opening 50 can be further reduced.

[0078] In the above embodiment, for example, as shown in Figure 27, the distance d6 between the tip edge 22a and the tip edge 24a in the central part of the outlet forming section 20 may be made larger than the distance between the tip edge 22a and the tip edge 24a in the remaining part of the outlet forming section 20. In the same figure, the distance d6 between the tip edge 22a and the tip edge 24a in the central part of the outlet forming section 20 is larger than the distance between the tip edge 22a and the tip edge 24a in any other part. By making the distance d6 in the central part of the outlet forming section 20 larger in this way, the article 90 can be removed more smoothly.

[0079] In the above embodiment, an example was given in which the cut portion 20a reaches the left-right ends of the outlet forming portion 20. However, the cut portion 20a does not have to reach the left-right ends of the outlet forming portion 20, as shown in Figure 28, for example. In the same figure, the outlet forming portion 20 includes a perforation line 49 (boundary perforation line). The perforation line 49 extends from the cut portion 20a to each perforation line 46, 48 and forms the boundary between the folded piece 22 and the folded piece 24. The perforation line 49 is a perforation line. Each 46, 48 is connected to the perforation line 49 while drawing a curve.

[0080] In this way, if the cut portion 20a does not reach the left-right ends of the outlet forming portion 20, the gap between the protrusions 26 and 28 can be limited to a part of the left-right direction of the outlet forming portion 20. This has the advantage of making it difficult for dust to enter the main body 10 through the outlet 50. Moreover, since each 46 and 48 is connected to the cut line 49 while drawing a curve, it is less likely that the cut will extend beyond the extension of the cut line 49 (outside the outlet forming portion 20) when making a cut along the cut line 49.

[0081] In the above embodiment, an example was given in which the fold line 32 is curved and bulges outward from the folded piece 22. However, the fold line 32 may also be curved and bulges inward from the folded piece 22. Similarly, in the above embodiment, an example was given in which the fold line 34 is curved and bulges outward from the folded piece 24. However, the fold line 34 may also be curved and bulges inward from the folded piece 24.

[0082] In the above embodiment, for example, as shown in Figure 29, the fold line 32 may have a curved shape that bulges outward from the folded piece 22, while the fold line 34 may have a curved shape that bulges inward from the folded piece 24. In the same figure, the curvature ratio of the fold line 34 is smaller than that of the fold line 32. Preferably, the curvature ratio of the fold line 34 is 1 / 4 or more and 3 / 4 or less of the curvature ratio of the fold line 32.

[0083] In this case, as shown in Figure 30, there are no notches 46 and 48 on both sides 32b of the fold line 32 (the parts that overlap with the fold line 32 when viewed from the long side direction of the main surface 12), whereas there are notches 46 and 48 on both sides 34b of the fold line 34 (the parts that overlap with the fold line 34 when viewed from the long side direction of the main surface 12). For this reason, the folding piece 24, which is folded along the fold line 34, is easier to fold than the folding piece 22, which is folded along the fold line 32. In other words, the folding angle of the folding piece 24 tends to be larger than the folding angle of the folding piece 22. As a result, the dispensing opening 50 widens in the height direction of the main body 10, allowing the article 90 to be removed more smoothly.

[0084] Moreover, the curvature of the fold line 34 is smaller than the curvature of the fold line 32. Reducing the curvature of the fold line 34 in this way is also advantageous in making the folded piece 24 easier to fold. This makes it easier to secure a wider opening 50 in the height direction of the main body 10. From this viewpoint, it is preferable that the curvature of the fold line 34 is 3 / 4 or less of the curvature of the fold line 32. On the other hand, if the curvature of the fold line 34 is too small, the folding angle of the folded piece 24 may become excessive. From this viewpoint, it is preferable that the curvature of the fold line 34 is 1 / 4 or more of the curvature of the fold line 32. However, the curvature of the fold line 34 may be equal to the curvature of the fold line 32, or it may be greater than the curvature of the fold line 32.

[0085] In the above embodiment, the case in which the cut lines 42, 44, 46, 48, and 49 are perforations was illustrated. That is, the case in which a cut is made along each cut line 42, 44, 46, 48, and 49 only when force is applied to both sides of each cut line 42, 44, 46, 48, and 49 was illustrated. However, each cut line 42, 44, 46, 48, and 49 may have a cut made in it beforehand. The same applies to each cut line 64a and 66a.

[0086] In the above embodiment, an example was given in which the entire body 10 is made of a single material. However, the body 10 may be made of multiple materials. For example, it is conceivable to use plastic or metal as the material for the cutting blade 62, while using cardboard as the material for the rest of the body 10 (the part other than the cutting blade 62). Alternatively, it is conceivable to use cardboard as the material for the main surface 12, while using another material for the rest of the body 10 (the part other than the main surface 12). Examples of other materials include corrugated cardboard, CNF (cellulose nanofiber), wood, plastic, or metal. [Explanation of Symbols]
