[Figure 11] This figure shows a usage example of the wet wipe dispenser of the present invention, with the container body folded. [Figure 12] This figure shows the wet wipe dispenser of the present invention with the container lid open. [Figure 13] This figure shows the wet wipe dispenser of the present invention with the lid of the container opened, and a foldable wet wipe packaging bag housed inside the container body. [Modes for carrying out the invention]

[0008] [1] Detachable wet wipe dispenser The detachable wet wipe dispenser structure of the present invention is for a foldable wet wipe packaging bag and includes (1) a base portion that adheres to the packaging bag and has a notched dispenser opening for dispensing foldable wet wipes, and (2) a structural lid portion that closes the space above the dispenser opening of the base portion, wherein the opening area of ​​the dispenser opening is 25 to 500 mm². 2 That is the case.

[0009] Figure 1 shows how the detachable wet wipe dispenser structure of the present invention is used. The detachable wet wipe dispenser structure of the present invention is attached to the top of the tissue dispenser opening of a foldable wet wipe packaging bag 3, and wet wipes are dispensed one at a time from the dispenser opening for use. The space above the dispenser opening of the base can be closed by the structure lid 2.

[0010] The shape of the detachable wet wipe dispenser is not particularly limited, as long as it can be attached to the top of the dispenser opening of the foldable wet wipe packaging bag, but examples include oval, rectangular, square, rounded rectangle, rounded square, circular, elliptical, oblong, or egg-shaped. Figure 6(A) shows an oval-shaped structure, Figure 6(B) shows a circular structure, and Figure 6(C) shows a rounded rectangular structure.

[0011] The size of the detachable wet wipe dispenser is not particularly limited, as long as it can be attached to the top of the dispenser opening of the foldable wet wipe packaging bag, and can be changed according to the size of the packaging bag. Specifically, as shown in Figure 1, it is preferable that the size covers about 1 / 3 to 2 / 3 of the top surface area of ​​the packaging bag. More specifically, the height of the structure (corresponding to "h2" in Figure 2) is, for example, 5 to 20 mm, preferably 6 to 15 mm, and more preferably 8 to 12 mm. The width of the structure is, for example, 80 to 150 mm, preferably 90 to 140 mm, more preferably 100 to 130 mm, and most preferably 115 to 125 mm. The depth (length) of the structure is, for example, 60 to 100 mm, more preferably 70 to 90 mm, and even more preferably 75 to 85 mm.

[0012] Foldable wet wipe packaging bag The foldable wet wipe packaging bag to which the detachable wet wipe dispensing structure of the present invention is attached can be any commercially available product without limitation. The size of the packaging bag is not particularly limited. While commercially available packaging bags are often around 160 mm (width) x 100 mm (depth) x 35 mm (height), the structure of the present invention can be used even in packaging bags that are half to twice that size. The opening of the packaging bag is a circular or oval opening formed on the top surface of the packaging bag and is closed with a reusable seal. Normally, the seal is opened to take out the wet wipes, and the seal is closed to prevent the wet wipes from drying out. When using the structure of the present invention, the seal is removed and adhered to the top of the opening of the packaging bag with an adhesive. The opening shape is usually circular, elliptical, or oval. For example, a circular opening is about 30mm in diameter, while an oval opening is 450mm x 20mm.

[0013] Wet wipes are made from non-woven fabric and contain water. In addition to water, some wet wipes also contain disinfectants such as alcohol, humectants or moisturizers to prevent skin irritation, or preservatives. The wet wipes are approximately 200mm x 150mm in size and are folded inside the packaging bag. The folding method is as follows: Each wet wipe is folded in half, and the lower half of the folded first wet wipe is placed under the upper half of the folded second wet wipe. Subsequent wet wipes are folded in the same manner.

[0014] 《Base》 The base is attached to the packaging bag and has a notched opening for dispensing the foldable wet wipes.

[0015] (Removal opening) In the structure of the present invention, the extraction opening 4 for taking out the foldable wet tissue is of a cut type. In this specification, the "cut type" means a shape formed by a relatively thin straight line or curve, or a combination thereof, rather than a circular or elliptical shape. For example, as shown in the "wavy cut type 1" or "wavy cut type 3" in FIG. 5, shapes such as relatively small circles, ellipses, squares, rectangles, etc. may be further combined. The opening area from above the extraction opening is 25 to 500 mm 2 It is. The lower limit is not limited, but is preferably 30 mm 2 It is, more preferably 40 mm 2 It is, still more preferably 50 mm 2 It is, most preferably 60 mm 2 It is. The upper limit is not particularly limited as long as drying can be prevented compared to conventional ones, but is preferably 400 mm 2 Or less, more preferably 350 mm 2 Or less, still more preferably 300 mm 2 Or less, still more preferably 250 mm 2 Or less, most preferably 200 mm 2 Or less. The above upper limit and lower limit can constitute a suitable range in combination. If the opening area is too small, it will be difficult to take out the foldable wet tissue. By the opening area being within the above range, drying of the wet tissue can be prevented.

[0016] The width of the cut is not particularly limited as long as the wet tissue can be taken out. The lower limit is preferably 0.2 mm or more, more preferably 0.5 mm or more, still more preferably 0.8 mm or more, and most preferably 1 mm or more. The upper limit is preferably 3 mm or less, more preferably 2.5 mm or less, still more preferably 2 mm or less, and most preferably 1.5 mm or less. The length of the cut is not particularly limited as long as a wet wipe can be taken out, but the total length of the cuts is, for example, about 4 to 400 mm, with a lower limit of preferably 5 mm or more, more preferably 6 mm or more. The upper limit is preferably 350 mm or less, more preferably 250 mm or less, even more preferably 200 mm or less, and even more preferably 150 mm or less. The end of the cut may extend beyond the width of the cut. The shape of the extended portion is not particularly limited and may be circular, elliptical, square, rectangular, or oval, and may be a shape in which one of these shapes is attached to the end of the cut. The extension at the end of the cut makes it easier to open the cut and to take out the wet wipe.

[0017] In the present invention, the notched opening of the dispensing opening creates resistance between the nonwoven fabric wet wipe and the dispensing opening when a wet wipe is removed. Therefore, when one wet wipe is removed, the resistance prevents the next wet wipe from being pulled out excessively, and the exposure from the packaging bag is reduced. Thus, this also helps to prevent the wet wipe from drying out. In contrast, with conventional dispensing openings that are circular or oval, or those with claws on the dispensing opening, after one wet wipe has been removed, the next wet wipe may be pulled out excessively, causing the wet wipe to dry out. Also, wet wipes that have been pulled out excessively from the packaging bag may get caught between the base and the lid of the structure, which can also cause them to dry out.

[0018] The shape of the dispensing opening is not particularly limited as long as it is a notched type, but examples include a straight notch type, a three-sided notch type, a four-sided notch type, a five-sided notch type, a six-sided notch type, a seven-sided notch type, an eight-sided notch type, a nine-sided notch type, a ten-sided notch type, an eleven-sided notch type, a twelve-sided notch type, a thirteen-sided notch type, a fourteen-sided notch type, a fifteen-sided notch type, a sixteen-sided notch type, a seventeen-sided notch type, an eighteen-sided notch type, a nineteen-sided notch type, a twenty-one-sided notch type, a twenty-two-sided notch type, a twenty-three-sided notch type, a twenty-four-sided notch type, or a wavy notch type. Figure 5 illustrates the shapes of notched removal openings. For example, a straight notch type is an removal opening formed by a single straight notch. The direction of the straight line is not limited, but examples include the direction along the long axis, short axis, or diagonal direction of the base, but the direction along the long axis is preferred. A three-sided notch type has three notches, and although the direction is not limited, it is preferable that the three notches extend outwards from the center at an angle of 120 degrees. A four-sided notch type has four notches, and examples include a cross shape or an X shape. The four notches may be the same length or of different lengths. A five-sided to twenty-four-sided notch type has 5 to 24 notches, respectively, and although the direction is not limited, it is preferable that each notch extends outwards from the center at an equal angle. In this specification, a wavy notch type means one having a curved notch. It may be formed from a single notch, or it may be a combination of two or more notches. Furthermore, the curved cuts may be combined with relatively small circular, elliptical, square, or rectangular shapes.

[0019] (Adhesive part) The base has an adhesive portion 8 on its bottom surface, as shown in the bottom view of Figure 2, for adhesion to the packaging bag. The material of the adhesive portion is not particularly limited, but a seal can be used. For the seal to be adhered to the bottom of the base, a seal with strong adhesive strength should be used to prevent peeling. On the other hand, for the seal to be adhered to the packaging bag, a seal that can be adhered and peeled multiple times (preferably 100 times or more) should be used. A flexible adhesive resin can also be used for the adhesive portion. The thickness of the adhesive portion is not particularly limited, but for example it is 2 to 20 mm, and preferably 5 to 10 mm.

[0020] The base material is not particularly limited, but examples include polypropylene and ABS resin.

[0021] The shape of the base is basically the same as the shape of the structure. Specifically, examples include oval, rectangular, square, rounded rectangle, rounded square, circular, elliptical, oblong, or egg-shaped. The size of the base, excluding the height, is approximately the same as the size of the detachable wet wipe dispenser. Specifically, the height of the base is, for example, 5 to 15 mm, preferably 6 to 12 mm, and more preferably 7 to 10 mm. The width of the base is, for example, 80 to 150 mm, preferably 90 to 140 mm, more preferably 100 to 130 mm, and most preferably 115 to 125 mm. The depth (length) of the base is, for example, 60 to 100 mm, more preferably 70 to 90 mm, and even more preferably 75 to 85 mm.

[0022] (Aperture forming part) While an extraction opening may be formed directly in the base portion, an opening forming portion 5 can be created, and the extraction opening can be formed in the opening forming portion. Preferably, the opening forming portion is formed approximately in the center of the base portion. The opening portion may be formed from the same material as the base portion, but is preferably formed from a soft resin (e.g., elastomer). Forming it from a soft resin makes it easier to remove the wet wipes and prevents damage to the wet wipes. Furthermore, the resistance between the wet wipes and the dispensing opening becomes desirable, further suppressing excessive pulling out of the wet wipes. Examples of soft resins include silicone, TPE resin, or TPU resin.

[0023] The shape of the opening-forming portion is not particularly limited as long as it can be formed on the base, but examples include oval, rectangular, square, rounded rectangle, rounded square, circular, elliptical, oblong, or egg-shaped. The shape of the opening-forming portion may be the same as or similar to the shape of the base, or it may be a different shape. For example, a circular, rounded square, or egg-shaped opening-forming portion may be made on an oval-shaped base, or an oval, circular, or square opening-forming portion may be made on a rounded rectangular base. In other words, the combination of the shape of the base and the shape of the opening-forming portion is not limited. Figure 7(A) shows an oval-shaped opening-forming section, Figure 7(B) shows a circular opening-forming section, and Figure 7(C) shows a rounded rectangular opening-forming section.

[0024] The size of the opening formation portion is not particularly limited as long as it is formed at the base, but for example, in the case of an oval shape or other shape where the length of the long axis and the short axis are different, the long axis (corresponding to "w" in Figure 2) is, for example, about 30 to 80 mm, preferably 40 to 70 mm, and more preferably 50 to 60 mm. The short axis (corresponding to "l" in Figure 2) is, for example, 23 to 50 mm, preferably 25 to 45 mm, more preferably 27 to 40 mm, and even more preferably 29 to 38 mm. In this specification, "major axis" means the longer axis in an oval, rectangular, rounded rectangular, ellipse, oblong, or egg shape, and "minor axis" means the shorter axis. On the other hand, for circular, square, or rounded square shapes where the width and depth are the same, the diameter or the length of one side is, for example, 25 to 50 mm, preferably 30 to 40 mm.

[0025] In the base portion, preferably, the height of the upper surface of the dispensing opening is 4 mm or more from the lower surface of the base portion. The height from the lower surface of the base portion to the upper surface of the dispensing opening is, for example, the height indicated by "h1" in Figure 2. The height of h1 is not limited, but is preferably 4 mm or more, more preferably 5 mm or more, and even more preferably 6 mm or more. There is no upper limit, but considering the height of the structure, it is 10 mm or less. By having a height of h1 of 4 mm or more, fingers are less likely to come into contact with other parts of the base portion, making it easier to take out wet wipes.

[0026] The opening-forming portion is formed by creating a hole of the same size as the opening-forming portion in the base and fitting the opening-forming portion into it. In particular, when a soft resin is used for the opening-forming portion, it is preferable to create the base portion with the hole and the opening-forming portion made of soft resin separately and then fit them together. If the base portion with the hole and the opening-forming portion are made from the same material, they can be molded simultaneously.

[0027] (Base locking part) The base locking portion 10 engages with the lid locking portion of the structural lid, described later, to lock the structural lid to the base. The base locking portion may have a locking mechanism for locking the lid locking portion, as shown in Figures 3 and 4. As a locking mechanism, a standard locking mechanism for plastic lids and the like can be used without restriction. An example of a locking mechanism is shown in Figure 4. When locked, the locking claw at the base is pushed into the locking hole of the lid locking part of the structural lid, thereby locking the structural lid. Conversely, when unlocking, the locking claw is pulled out and removed from the locking hole, thereby releasing the lock on the structural lid and allowing the lid to be opened. In the locking mechanism shown in Figure 4, the locking claw at the base and the locking hole of the structural lid are collectively referred to as the locking mechanism.

[0028] 《Structure lid part》 The structural cover portion 2 closes the upper space of the removal opening of the base portion. The shape of the structural cover portion is not particularly limited as long as it can close the upper space of the removal opening, but examples include oval, rectangular, square, rounded rectangle, rounded square, circular, elliptical, oblong, or egg-shaped. The shape of the structural cover portion may be the same as or similar to the shape of the base portion, or it may be a different shape. For example, a circular, rounded square, or egg-shaped structural cover portion may be made on an oval-shaped base portion, or an oval, circular, or square structural cover portion may be made on a rounded rectangular base portion. In other words, the combination of the shape of the base portion and the shape of the structural cover portion is not limited. The size of the structural cover is not particularly limited, as long as it is smaller than the size of the base. Specifically, the height of the structural cover is, for example, about 2 to 6 mm. The width of the structural cover is, for example, 70 to 140 mm, preferably 80 to 130 mm, more preferably 90 to 120 mm, and most preferably 105 to 115 mm. The depth (length) of the structural cover is, for example, 50 to 90 mm, more preferably 60 to 80 mm, and even more preferably 65 to 75 mm.

[0029] (Lid locking part) The lid locking portion 9 is the part that locks the structural lid to the base. As described above, it engages with the base locking portion to lock the structural lid to the base. The lid locking portion may also have a locking mechanism. For example, as a locking mechanism, it may have a locking hole that engages with a locking claw at the base.

[0030] (joint part) The connection between the base and the structural cover is not particularly limited, but examples include a hinge 6 or a pivot shaft 7. The hinge connects the base and the structural cover using a hinge structure, and by using a hinge structure, the base and the structural cover can also be molded as a single unit. The rotating shaft has the structure shown in Figures 3, 8, and 9. By combining the rotating cylinder at the base with the rotating shaft of the structural lid, the structural lid can be opened and closed by rotating it. Furthermore, by combining it with a spring or silicone parts, the structural lid can be fixed in the open position when opened.

[0031] (Fitting between the base and the structural cover) The base and the structural lid are preferably sealed to further prevent the wet wipes from drying out when the lid is closed. To ensure a tight seal between the base and the structural lid, it is preferable that the base and the structural lid have a fitting structure. As one form of fitting, for example, as shown in Figure 3, the outer base wall 12 on the outside of the base portion and the outer structural lid wall 13 on the outside of the structural lid portion can be formed to fit together when closed. Another form of fitting is to form the outer circumference of the opening forming portion 5 of the base portion and the inner structural lid wall 14 on the inside of the structural lid portion to fit together when closed.

[0032] Furthermore, as shown in Figure 8, the structural cover portion has an inner wall 14a and an inner wall 14b, and the inner walls 14a and 14b can be fitted together so as to sandwich the inner and outer sides of the wall formed on the outer circumference of the opening forming portion 5. In Figure 8, fitting by the outer base wall 12 on the outside of the base portion and the outer structural cover wall 13 on the outside of the structural cover portion is also shown. These fittings effectively prevent the wet wipes from drying out when the lid is closed.

[0033] Figure 8 shows a detachable wet wipe dispenser structure having an oval base and a circular opening. The base 1 has a circular opening 5, and a four-sided cut-out dispenser opening 4 is formed in the opening 5. The opening 5 is fitted into the center of the base 1. The base also has an outer base wall 12, which fits into the outer structure lid wall 13 when closed. Furthermore, the structural cover portion 2 has a locking portion, an outer wall 13 of the structural cover portion, an inner wall 14a of the structural cover portion, and an inner wall 14b of the structural cover portion. When closed, the inner walls 14a and 14b of the structural cover portion fit together so as to sandwich the inner and outer sides of the wall formed on the outer circumference of the opening forming portion 5 of the base portion. In addition, the base portion and the structural cover portion are connected by a pivot axis. In this embodiment, although the height h1 from the bottom surface of the base to the top surface of the dispensing opening is relatively low, the height of h1 is 4 mm or more, which reduces contact between fingers and other parts of the base, making it easier to dispense wet wipes.

[0034] Figure 9 shows a detachable wet wipe dispenser structure having an oval-shaped base 1 and an oval-shaped opening forming section 5. The base 1 has an oval-shaped opening forming section 5, and a four-sided cut-out dispenser opening 4 is formed in the opening forming section 5. In this embodiment, the opening forming section 5 extends to the outer wall 12 of the base on the outside of the bottom. Furthermore, the base and the structure lid are connected by a pivot axis. In this embodiment, the height h1 from the bottom surface of the base to the top surface of the dispensing opening is relatively high, and since the height of h1 is 4 mm or more, fingers are less likely to come into contact with other parts of the base, making it easier to take out wet wipes.

[0035] [1] Wet wipe dispenser The wet wipe dispenser of the present invention is a wet wipe dispenser for a foldable wet wipe packaging bag, and includes (1) a container lid having a notched dispenser opening for dispensing foldable wet wipes, (2) a structural lid that closes the upper space of the dispenser opening of the container lid, and (3) a container body that houses the foldable wet wipe packaging bag, wherein the opening area of ​​the dispenser opening is 25 to 500 mm². 2 That is the case.

[0036] Figure 10 shows how the wet wipe dispenser of the present invention is used. The wet wipe dispenser of the present invention houses a foldable wet wipe packaging bag in the container body 22, and wet wipes are taken out one at a time from the dispensing opening for use. The space above the dispensing opening of the container lid 21 can be closed by the structural lid 2.

[0037] The shape of the wet wipe dispenser is not particularly limited, as long as it can accommodate the foldable wet wipe packaging bag, but it is basically a rectangular prism, which is the shape of the wet wipe. Alternatively, as shown in Figure 10, it may be a rectangular prism with a trapezoidal shape that is smaller at the bottom.

[0038] The size of the wet wipe dispenser is not particularly limited, as long as it can accommodate the foldable wet wipe packaging bag. In other words, it can be made appropriately according to the size of the foldable wet wipe packaging bag. For example, in the case of a wet wipe dispenser that accommodates a foldable wet wipe packaging bag with dimensions of 160mm (width) x 100mm (depth) x 35mm (height), which is the size of a typical foldable wet wipe packaging bag, the height of the wet wipe dispenser is, for example, 35 to 60mm, preferably 40 to 55mm, and more preferably 40 to 50mm. The width of the wet wipe dispenser is, for example, 160 to 180mm, preferably 165 to 170mm. The depth (length) of the wet wipe dispenser is, for example, 100 to 120mm, and more preferably 105 to 115mm. The container body may have a bellows structure as described later. If it has a bellows structure, the height of the wet wipe dispenser can be reduced by folding the bellows, as shown in Figure 11. When the number of wet wipes in the foldable wet wipe packaging bag decreases, folding the bellows reduces the distance between the wet wipes and the dispensing opening, making it easier to take out the wet wipes.

[0039] Foldable wet wipe packaging bag The foldable wet wipe packaging bag used in the wet wipe dispenser of the present invention can be any commercially available bag without limitation. The size of the packaging bag is not particularly limited. Commercially available packaging bags are often about 160 mm (width) x 100 mm (depth) x 35 mm (height). The opening of the packaging bag is a circular or oval opening formed on the top surface of the packaging bag and is closed with a reusable seal. Normally, the seal is opened to take out a wet wipe, and the seal is closed to prevent the wet wipe from drying out. When storing in the wet wipe dispenser of the present invention, the seal is peeled off or removed, the wet wipe is pulled up, and the dispenser is placed so that it can be taken out from the dispenser opening of the wet wipe dispenser. Other features of the foldable wet wipe packaging bag are the same as those described in "[1] Detachable Wet Wipe Dispensing Structure".

[0040] 《Container lid》 The container lid 21 is attached to the container body 22, houses the foldable wet wipe packaging bag, and has a notched opening 4 for removing the foldable wet wipes. The material of the container lid is not particularly limited, but examples include polypropylene and ABS resin.

[0041] (Removal opening) In the container lid of the present invention, the dispensing opening 4 for taking out foldable wet wipes is of the notched type. The opening area from above the dispensing opening is 25 to 500 mm². 2 The lower limit is not limited, but preferably 30 mm. 2 More preferably 40 mm 2 And more preferably 50 mm 2 And most preferably 60 mm 2 The upper limit is not particularly limited, as long as drying can be prevented compared to conventional methods, but is preferably 400 mm.2 The following, and more preferably 350 mm 2 The following, and more preferably 300 mm 2 The following, and more preferably 250 mm 2 The following are the most preferred, and most preferably, 200 mm 2 The following applies: The upper and lower limits can be combined to form a suitable range. If the opening area is too small, it becomes difficult to remove the foldable wet wipes. By having the opening area within the aforementioned range, it is possible to prevent the wet wipes from drying out.

[0042] The width of the cut is not particularly limited as long as a wet wipe can be taken out, but the lower limit is preferably 0.2 mm or more, more preferably 0.5 mm or more, even more preferably 0.8 mm or more, and most preferably 1 mm or more. The upper limit is preferably 3 mm or less, more preferably 2.5 mm or less, even more preferably 2 mm or less, and most preferably 1.5 mm or less. The length of the cut is not particularly limited as long as a wet wipe can be taken out, but the total length of the cuts is, for example, about 4 to 400 mm, with a lower limit of preferably 5 mm or more, more preferably 6 mm or more. The upper limit is preferably 350 mm or less, more preferably 250 mm or less, even more preferably 200 mm or less, and even more preferably 150 mm or less. The end of the cut may extend beyond the width of the cut. The shape of the extended portion is not particularly limited and may be circular, elliptical, square, rectangular, or oval, and may be a shape in which one of these shapes is attached to the end of the cut. The extension at the end of the cut makes it easier to open the cut and to take out the wet wipe.

[0043] The notched opening in the container lid of this invention creates resistance between the nonwoven fabric wet wipe and the opening when a wet wipe is removed. Therefore, when one wet wipe is removed, this resistance prevents the next wet wipe from being pulled out excessively, and reduces exposure from the packaging bag. Thus, this also helps to prevent the wet wipes from drying out.

[0044] The shape of the removal opening is not particularly limited as long as it is a notched type, but examples include a straight notch type, a three-sided notch type, a four-sided notch type, a five-sided notch type, a six-sided notch type, a seven-sided notch type, an eight-sided notch type, a nine-sided notch type, a ten-sided notch type, an eleven-sided notch type, a twelve-sided notch type, a thirteen-sided notch type, a fourteen-sided notch type, a fifteen-sided notch type, a sixteen-sided notch type, a seventeen-sided notch type, an eighteen-sided notch type, a nineteen-sided notch type, a twenty-one-sided notch type, a twenty-two-sided notch type, a twenty-three-sided notch type, a twenty-sided notch type, or a wavy notch type.

[0045] (Container lid fitting part) The container lid portion 21 has a container lid fitting portion 27 that engages with the container body fitting portion 26 of the container body. The material of the container lid fitting portion is not particularly limited, but examples include polypropylene and ABS resin. By securely fitting with the container body fitting portion, the wet wipes can be prevented from drying out.

[0046] The shape of the container lid is, as it is the lid of a container, a basic rectangular prism shape, and can be a rectangle or a rounded rectangle, but a rounded rectangle is preferred. The height of the container lid is, for example, 5 to 20 mm, preferably 10 to 15 mm. The width of the container lid is, for example, 160 to 180 mm, preferably 165 to 170 mm. The depth (length) of the container lid is, for example, 100 to 120 mm, more preferably 105 to 115 mm.

[0047] (Aperture forming part) While the container lid may be directly formed with an opening for dispensing, an opening forming section 5 can be created, and the dispensing opening can be formed in the opening forming section. Preferably, the opening forming section is formed approximately in the center of the container lid. The opening portion may be formed from the same material as the container lid, but is preferably made of a soft resin (e.g., elastomer). Forming it from a soft resin makes it easier to remove the wet wipes and prevents damage to the wet wipes. Furthermore, the resistance between the wet wipes and the dispensing opening becomes desirable, further suppressing excessive pulling out of the wet wipes. Examples of soft resins include silicone, TPE resin, or TPU resin.

[0048] The shape of the opening is not particularly limited as long as it can be formed on the container lid, but examples include oval, rectangular, square, rounded rectangle, rounded square, circular, elliptical, oblong, or egg-shaped. The shape of the opening may be the same as or similar to the shape of the container lid, or it may be a different shape. For example, a circular, rounded square, or egg-shaped opening may be made on a rectangular container lid, or an oval, circular, or square opening may be made on a rounded rectangular container lid. In other words, the combination of the shape of the container lid and the shape of the opening is not limited.

[0049] The size of the opening is not particularly limited as long as it is formed on the container lid, but for example, in the case of an oval shape or other shape where the length of the long axis and the short axis are different, the long axis is, for example, about 30 to 80 mm, preferably 40 to 70 mm, and more preferably 50 to 60 mm. The short axis is, for example, 23 to 50 mm, preferably 25 to 45 mm, more preferably 27 to 40 mm, and even more preferably 29 to 38 mm. On the other hand, for circular, square, or rounded square shapes where the width and depth are the same, the diameter or the length of one side is, for example, 25 to 50 mm, and preferably 30 to 40 mm.

[0050] In the container lid, preferably the height of the upper surface of the dispensing opening is 4 mm or more from the lower surface of the container lid. The height is not limited, but is preferably 4 mm or more, more preferably 5 mm or more, and even more preferably 6 mm or more. There is no upper limit, but considering the height of the container lid, it is 20 mm or less. A height of 4 mm or more reduces the chance of fingers coming into contact with other parts of the container lid, making it easier to remove wet wipes.

[0051] The container lid is manufactured by forming a hole of the same size as the opening in the container lid and fitting the opening into it. In particular, when a soft resin is used for the opening, it is preferable to manufacture the container lid with the hole and the soft resin opening and fit them together. If the container lid with the hole and the opening are made from the same material, they can be molded simultaneously.

[0052] (Container lid locking mechanism) The container lid locking portion engages with the lid locking portion of the structural lid, described later, to lock the structural lid to the container lid. The container lid locking portion may have a locking mechanism for locking the lid locking portion, as shown in Figure 4. As a locking mechanism, it can be used without restricting the use of a standard locking mechanism for plastic lids, etc.

[0053] (Closed region of the structural cover and open region of the structural cover) The upper surface of the container lid is divided into a structural lid closed area 24 that is covered by the structural lid and a structural lid open area 25 that is not covered by the structural lid.

[0054] 《Structure lid part》 The structural lid of the wet wipe dispenser is basically the same as the "structural lid" described in section "[1] Detachable wet wipe dispenser structure," except that the structural lid covers the container lid.

[0055] The structural lid portion 2 closes the upper space of the container lid's opening. The shape of the structural lid portion is not particularly limited as long as it can close the upper space of the opening, but examples include oval, rectangular, square, rounded rectangle, rounded square, circular, elliptical, oblong, or egg-shaped. The shape of the structural lid portion may be the same as or similar to the shape of the container lid portion, or it may be a different shape. For example, a circular, rounded square, or egg-shaped structural lid portion may be made on a rectangular container lid portion, and an oval, circular, or square structural lid portion may be made on a rounded rectangular container lid portion. In other words, the combination of the shape of the container lid portion and the shape of the structural lid portion is not limited. The size of the structural lid is not particularly limited, as long as it is smaller than the size of the container lid. Specifically, the height of the structural lid is, for example, about 2 to 6 mm. The width of the structural lid is, for example, 70 to 140 mm, preferably 80 to 130 mm, more preferably 90 to 120 mm, and most preferably 105 to 115 mm. The depth (length) of the structural lid is, for example, 50 to 90 mm, more preferably 60 to 80 mm, and even more preferably 65 to 75 mm.

[0056] (Lid locking part) The lid locking portion 9 is the part that locks the structural lid portion to the container lid portion. As described above, it engages with the container lid locking portion to lock the structural lid portion to the container lid portion. The lid locking portion may also have a locking mechanism. For example, as a locking mechanism, it may have a locking hole that engages with the locking claw of the container lid portion.

[0057] (joint part) The connection between the container lid and the structural lid is not particularly limited, but examples include a hinge 6 or a pivot shaft. The hinge connects the container lid and the structural lid using a hinge structure, and by using a hinge structure, the container lid and the structural lid can also be molded as a single unit. The rotating shaft is, for example, the structure shown in Figures 3, 8, and 9 of the detachable wet wipe dispensing structure. By combining the rotating cylinder of the container lid and the rotating shaft of the structure lid and rotating them, the structure lid can be opened and closed. Furthermore, by combining it with a spring, the structure lid can be fixed in the open position when opened.

[0058] (Fitting of the container lid and the structural lid) The container lid and the structural lid are preferably sealed to further prevent the wet wipes from drying out when the lid is closed. It is preferable that the container lid and the structural lid have a fitting structure to ensure a tight seal between them. As one form of fitting, for example, the outer wall of the container lid portion and the outer wall of the structural lid portion can be formed to fit together when closed. Another form of fitting, as shown in Figure 12, can be formed so that the outer circumference of the opening forming portion 5 of the container lid portion and the inner wall 14 of the structural lid portion fit together when closed.

[0059] Furthermore, as shown in Figure 8 of the detachable wet wipe dispensing structure, the structure lid has an inner wall 14a and an inner wall 14b, and the inner walls 14a and 14b can be fitted together so as to sandwich the inner and outer sides of the wall formed on the outer circumference of the opening forming portion 5. These fittings effectively prevent the wet wipes from drying out when the lid is closed.

[0060] 《Container body》 The container body accommodates a foldable wet wipe packaging bag. The height of the container body is, for example, 30 to 55 mm, preferably 35 to 50 mm, and more preferably 35 to 45 mm. The width of the container body is, for example, 160 to 180 mm, preferably 165 to 170 mm. The depth (length) of the container body is, for example, 100 to 120 mm, and more preferably 105 to 115 mm. The container body may be a conventional fixed structure, but as described above, it may also have a bellows-like structure.

[0061] The container body has a container body fitting portion 26 that engages with the container lid fitting portion 27 of the container lid. The material of the container body fitting portion is not particularly limited, but examples include polypropylene and ABS resin.

[0062] The material for the container body is not limited to polypropylene, but examples include polypropylene, silicone, polyethylene, TPE resin, or TPU resin. [Industrial applicability]
