Description

Sheet container

[0001] The present invention relates to a sheet container that houses a laminate in which a plurality of sheets are laminated in a state of being folded one on top of the other in the thickness direction.

[0002] Patent Documents 1 and 2 disclose a sheet container that houses a laminate in which a plurality of sheets are laminated in a state of being folded one on top of the other in the thickness direction. In the laminates of Patent Documents 1 and 2, right sheets and left sheets are stacked alternately, and both the right sheets and the left sheets are further folded in a state of being folded at a double fold line as a base point and laminated in two layers. Compared with a form that is not folded at the double fold line as a base point, the length of the sheet in the left - right direction at the time of taking out is short.

[0004] In the sheet container configured as described above, a part of the area of the left sheet is inserted between the areas of the folded right sheets, and a part of the area of the right sheet is inserted between the areas of the folded left sheets. Thus, when one sheet is taken out, the next sheet is pulled following the sheet, and it is configured so that the next sheet can be taken out. However, if the previously taken out sheet and the next sheet are separated at the time of taking out, the next sheet cannot be taken out, and it is required to stably take out the sheets sequentially.

[0005] The present invention has been made in view of such problems, and provides a sheet container that can stably take out sheets sequentially.

[0006] A sheet container according to one embodiment is a sheet container having a laminate formed by alternately stacking right sheets and left sheets that are offset from each other in the left-right direction, and a packaging body having a packaging opening that serves as an outlet for the sheets and packaging the laminate. The right sheet is folded from the right double fold point and stacked in two layers, and when the two layers are folded from the right end fold point located at the right end of the laminate, a right first region located between the right double fold point and the right end fold point and a right second region overlapping the right first region are formed. The left sheet is folded from the left double fold point and stacked in two layers, and when the two layers are folded from the left end fold point located at the left end of the laminate, a left first region located between the left double fold point and the left end fold point and a left second region overlapping the left first region are formed. Between the right first region and the right second region of one right sheet, the left first region of the first left sheet and the left second region of the second left sheet, which is adjacent to the first left sheet in the thickness direction, are inserted. Between the left first region and the left second region of one left sheet, the right first region of the first right sheet and the right second region of the second right sheet, which is adjacent to the first right sheet in the thickness direction, are inserted. The laminate has a laminated region where the left first region and the right first region overlap.

Figure 3 is a schematic enlarged view of portion B shown in Figure 2. Figure 4 is a schematic enlarged view of the sheet housing according to the second embodiment.

[0008] (1) Outline of Embodiments The following matters will become clear from the description in this specification and the attached drawings. The invention according to Embodiment 1 is a sheet container having a laminate in which right sheets and left sheets arranged offset from each other in the left-right direction are stacked alternately, and a packaging body having a packaging opening that serves as an outlet for the sheets and packaging the laminate. The right sheet is folded with the right double fold as the base point to form two layers, and with the two layers folded with the right end fold located at the right end of the laminate as the base point, a right first region located between the right double fold and the right end fold and a right second region overlapping the right first region are formed. The left sheet is folded with the left double fold as the base point to form two layers, and with the two layers folded with the left end fold located at the left end of the laminate as the base point, a left first region located between the left double fold and the left end fold and a left second region overlapping the left first region are formed. Between the right first region and the right second region of one right sheet, the left first region of the first left sheet and the left second region of the second left sheet, which is adjacent to the first left sheet in the thickness direction, are inserted. Between the left first region and the left second region of one left sheet, the right first region of the first right sheet and the right second region of the second right sheet, which is adjacent to the first right sheet in the thickness direction, are inserted. The laminate has a laminated region where the left first region and the right first region overlap.

[0009] According to this embodiment, when one left sheet is removed, the right sheet is pulled out following the left sheet, and when one right sheet is removed, the left sheet is pulled out following the right sheet, thereby removing the right and left sheets in sequence. At this time, the laminated region of the laminate consists of a left first region where the two layers of left sheets overlap and a right first region where the two layers of right sheets overlap, and the right and left sheets are in close contact. Within the laminated region, the left second region abuts against the right first region, and the right second region abuts against the left first region. Therefore, when removing the right and left sheets in sequence, their close contact is ensured, separation of the sheets during removal is suppressed, and the next sheet can be removed stably.

[0010] In a preferred embodiment, the invention according to Embodiment 2 may have the following features in the invention according to Embodiment 1: In one right sheet, the right first region is located above the right second region. In one left sheet, the left first region is located above the left second region. According to this embodiment, since the left first region and the right first region, which include the double fold, are located on the upper side, i.e., the side of the packaging opening, it is easier for the user to grasp the folded portion when taking out the sheet, and the sheet is easily taken out in a two-layer state. Being pulled in a two-layer state increases the tensile strength when the sheet is pulled, making it easier to smoothly pull out the next sheet.

[0011] In a preferred embodiment, the invention according to Embodiment 3 may have the following features in the invention according to Embodiment 1 or Embodiment 2: The length of the lamination region in the left-right direction is 25% or more and 50% or less of the total length of the sheet in the left-right direction. According to this embodiment, since the length of the lamination region in the left-right direction is 25% or more of the total length of the sheet in the left-right direction, the lamination region can be secured and the next sheet can be removed stably. Furthermore, since the length of the lamination region in the left-right direction is 50% or less of the total length of the sheet in the left-right direction, excessive adhesion between the right sheet and the left sheet is suppressed, making it easier to separate the right sheet and the left sheet after removal and making it easier to remove only one sheet.

[0012] In a preferred embodiment, the invention according to Embodiment 4 may have the following features in the invention according to any of Embodiments 1 to 3: The laminate has a laminated region and non-laminated regions located on both sides of the laminated region in the left-right direction. The maximum number of sheet layers in the laminated region is no more than twice the minimum number of sheet layers in the non-laminated region. According to this embodiment, the difference in the number of sheets between the laminated region and the non-laminated region can be suppressed, and the occurrence of a step difference between the laminated region and the non-laminated region can be suppressed.

[0013] In a preferred embodiment, the invention according to Embodiment 5 may have the following features in the invention according to any of Embodiments 1 to 4: The laminated region overlaps with the packaging opening in the thickness direction. According to this embodiment, since the laminated region of the right sheet and the left sheet, which has high adhesion, overlaps with the packaging opening, it is easier to guide the next sheet, which follows the previous sheet, into the packaging opening, and it is easier to remove the next sheet more smoothly through the packaging opening.

[0014] In a preferred embodiment, the invention according to embodiment 6 may have the following features in the invention according to embodiment 1: In one right sheet, the right second region is located above the right first region. In one left sheet, the left second region is located above the left first region. The right second region has a right inner end extending inward in the left-right direction from the right edge fold, and a right outer end extending inward in the left-right direction from the right edge fold together with the right inner end, and having a longer left-right length than the right inner end. The left second region has a left inner end extending inward in the left-right direction from the left edge fold, and a left outer end extending inward in the left-right direction from the left edge fold together with the left inner end, and having a longer left-right length than the left inner end. In one right sheet, the right outer end is located above the right inner end. In one of the left sheets, the left outer end is located above the left inner end. According to this embodiment, when removing the sheets, the user can easily grasp the right outer end and the left outer end, which are relatively longer in the left-right direction, and the sheets can be removed stably and sequentially.

[0015] In a preferred embodiment, the invention according to embodiment 7 may have the following features in the invention according to embodiment 1: In one right sheet, the right second region is located above the right first region. In one left sheet, the left second region is located above the left first region. The right second region has a right inner end extending inward in the left-right direction from the right edge fold, and a right outer end extending inward in the left-right direction from the right edge fold together with the right inner end, and having a longer left-right length than the right inner end. The left second region has a left inner end extending inward in the left-right direction from the left edge fold, and a left outer end extending inward in the left-right direction from the left edge fold together with the left inner end, and having a longer left-right length than the left inner end. In one right sheet, the right inner end is located above the right outer end. In one of the left sheets, the left inner end is located above the left outer end. According to this embodiment, since the right inner end is not positioned between the right outer end and the right first region, the adhesion between the right outer end and the right first region, and the adhesion to the left sheet sandwiched between the right outer end and the right first region are further improved, allowing the next sheet to be removed more stably. Similarly, since the left inner end is not positioned between the left outer end and the left first region, the adhesion between the left outer end and the left first region, and the adhesion to the right sheet sandwiched between the left outer end and the left first region are further improved, allowing the next sheet to be removed more stably.

[0016] In a preferred embodiment, the invention according to embodiment 8 may have the following features in the invention according to any of embodiments 1 to 7. The right second region has a right inner end extending inward in the left-right direction from the right end fold, and a right outer end extending inward in the left-right direction from the right end fold together with the right inner end, and having a longer left-right length than the right inner end. The left second region has a left inner end extending inward in the left-right direction from the left end fold, and a left outer end extending inward in the left-right direction from the left end fold together with the left inner end, and having a longer left-right length than the left inner end. The right outer end extends further towards the left end fold than the right second fold. The left outer end extends further towards the right end fold than the left second fold. According to this embodiment, the right outer end (left outer end) extends beyond the second fold, and the right outer end (left outer end) overlaps with the entire left-right region. Therefore, the right outer edge (left outer edge) can also improve adhesion to the sheet it comes into contact with in the laminated area, making it easier to stably remove the next sheet.

[0017] (2) Sheet housing according to the first embodiment The sheet housing 1X according to the first embodiment will be described below with reference to the drawings. In the following drawings, the same or similar parts are denoted by the same or similar reference numerals. However, it should be noted that the drawings are schematic and the ratios of each dimension etc. may differ from those of reality. Therefore, specific dimensions etc. should be determined by referring to the following explanation. In addition, there may be parts where the relationships and ratios of dimensions differ between drawings.

[0018] Figure 1 is a perspective view of the sheet container 1X according to the embodiment. Figure 1 is a perspective view from the front and from above. Figure 2 is a cross-sectional view along the line A-A shown in Figure 1. Figure 3 is a schematic enlarged view of part B shown in Figure 2. The sheet container 1X has a vertical direction Z which is the height direction, and horizontal directions X and vertical directions Y which extend in the planar direction and are mutually orthogonal. The upper side is the packaging opening 110 side, and the lower side is the bottom surface 120 side. The horizontal direction X is the depth direction shown in Figure 1, and may be the left-right direction in the arrangement of the left sheet 30 and the right sheet 10, and may be the short side direction of the laminate 2. The vertical direction Y is the horizontal direction shown in Figure 1, and may be the long side direction of the laminate 2. The vertical direction Z may be along the thickness direction of the sheet.

[0019] The sheet container 1X comprises a laminate 2 and a packaging 100 that packages the laminate 2. The laminate 2 is made up of multiple sheets stacked together. The sheets are made of nonwoven or woven fabric and may be wet or dry. The sheets in this embodiment are wet sheets and are impregnated with a liquid containing alcohol (such as a drug). The laminate 2 may, for example, consist of an aggregate of 100 parts by mass of sheets (in a dry state) impregnated with 200 to 400 parts by mass of liquid.

[0020] The packaging 100 may be made of, for example, a plastic film. The packaging 100 may have a packaging opening 110. The packaging opening 110 serves as an outlet for the sheet. In a configuration in which the packaging 100 is housed in a container made of resin or the like, the packaging opening 110 may overlap the opening of the container and be covered by the lid of the container. Also, in a configuration in which the packaging 100 is used without being housed in a container, as in this embodiment, the packaging opening 110 may be covered in an openable and closable manner by a label 130 that is peelably attached to the surface of the packaging 100.

[0021] The laminate 2 is constructed by stacking right sheets 10 and left sheets 30 alternately. The right sheets 10 and left sheets 30 are offset from each other in the left-right direction X. The right sheet 10 is offset to the right, which is one side of the left-right direction X, and the left sheet 30 is offset to the left, which is the other side of the left-right direction X. The right sheets 10 and left sheets 30 are arranged alternately in the up-down direction Z. The right sheet 10 extends from the right end of the laminate 2 to the left side, but does not reach the left end of the laminate 2. The left sheet 30 extends from the left end of the laminate 2 to the right side, but does not reach the right end of the laminate 2.

[0022] The right sheet 10 is folded using the right double fold FL11 as a base point to form two layers, and when these two layers are folded using the right end fold FL12 located at the right end of the laminate 2 as a base point, a right first region 11 is formed located between the right double fold FL11 and the right end fold FL12, and a right second region 12 overlaps with the right first region 11. The right double fold FL11 and the right end fold FL12 extend along the vertical direction Y and are spaced apart in the left-right direction X. The right double fold FL11 is the fold that causes the right sheet 10 to be folded when it is not folded using a fold along the vertical direction Y as a base point. When folded using the right double fold FL11 as a base point, the right sheet 10 is stacked in two layers in the region extending from the right double fold FL11 in the left-right direction X. The rightmost fold FL12 is the fold that folds the right sheet 10, which is folded into two layers when folded with the second rightmost fold FL11 as the base point. When folded with the rightmost fold FL12 as the base point, the right sheet 10 is stacked in four layers in the region extending from the rightmost fold FL12 in the left-right direction X. The right first region 11 is located between the second rightmost fold FL11 and the rightmost fold FL12, and the right sheet 10 is stacked in two layers therein. The right second region 12 is the region that overlaps with the right first region 11, and is the region from the rightmost fold FL12 to the outer edge of the right sheet 10 in the left-right direction X.

[0023] The right second region 12 has a right inner end portion 121 that extends inward in the left-right direction X from the right end fold line FL 12, and a right outer end portion 122 that extends inward in the left-right direction X from the right end fold line FL 12 together with the right inner end portion 121, and whose length in the left-right direction X is longer than that of the right inner end portion 121. The right second region 12 may have a region where the right inner end portion 121 and the right outer end portion 122 are stacked, and a region where the right inner end portion 121 is not placed and the right outer end portion 122 is placed.

[0024] The left sheet 30 is folded using the left second fold FL31 as a base point to form two layers, and when these two layers are folded using the left end fold FL32 located at the left end of the stacked material as a base point, a left first region 31 is formed between the left second fold FL31 and the left end fold FL32, and a left second region 32 overlaps with the left first region 31. The left second fold FL31 and the left end fold FL32 extend along the vertical direction Y and are spaced apart in the left-right direction X. The left second fold FL31 is the fold that causes the left sheet 30 to be folded when it is not folded using a fold along the vertical direction Y as a base point. When folded using the left second fold FL31 as a base point, the left sheet 30 is stacked in two layers in the region extending from the left second fold FL31 in the left-right direction X. The leftmost fold line FL32 is the fold line that folds the left sheet 30, which is folded into two layers when folded with the second leftmost fold line FL31 as the base point. When folded with the leftmost fold line FL32 as the base point, the left sheet 30 is stacked in four layers in the region extending from the leftmost fold line FL32 in the left-right direction X. The left first region 31 is located between the second leftmost fold line FL31 and the leftmost fold line FL32, and the left sheet 30 is stacked in two layers therein. The left second region 32 is the region that overlaps with the left first region 31, and is the region from the leftmost fold line FL32 to the outer edge of the left sheet 30 in the left-right direction X.

[0025] The left second region 32 has a left inner end portion 321 that extends inward in the left-right direction X from the left end fold line FL 32, and a left outer end portion 322 that extends inward in the left-right direction X from the left end fold line FL 32 together with the left inner end portion 321, and whose length in the left-right direction X is longer than that of the left inner end portion 321. The left second region 32 may have a region where the left inner end portion 321 and the left outer end portion 322 are stacked, and a region where the left inner end portion 321 is not placed, but the left outer end portion 322 is placed.

[0026] Between the right first region 11 and the right second region 12 of one right sheet 10, the left first region 31 of the first left sheet 30 and the left second region 32 of the second left sheet 30, which is adjacent to the first left sheet 30 in the thickness direction, are inserted. Between the left first region 31 and the left second region 32 of one left sheet 30, the right first region 11 of the first right sheet 10 and the right second region 12 of the second right sheet 10, which is adjacent to the first right sheet 10 in the thickness direction, are inserted. In this configuration, the left first region 31 of the first left sheet 30 and the left second region 32 of the second left sheet 30, which is adjacent to the first left sheet 30 in the thickness direction, are inserted between the right first region 11 and the right second region 12 of the first left sheet 30, and the right first region 11 of the first right sheet 10 and the right second region 12 of the second right sheet 10, which is adjacent to the first right sheet 10 in the thickness direction, are inserted between the left first region 31 and the left second region 32 of the first left sheet 30. Therefore, when one left sheet 30 is removed, the right sheet 10 is pulled out following the left sheet 30, and when one right sheet 10 is removed, the left sheet 30 is pulled out following the right sheet 10, thereby removing the right sheet 10 and the left sheet 30 in sequence.

[0027] The laminated body 2 has a laminated region RL where the left first region 31 and the right first region 11 overlap. The laminated region RL is the region where the left first region 31 and the right first region 11 overlap in the thickness direction. The state in which the left first region 31 and the right first region 11 overlap in the thickness direction includes not only the state in which the left first region 31 and the right first region 11 are in contact and overlap, but also the state in which the left first region 31 and the right first region 11 overlap with other regions in between. In order to provide the laminated region RL, the left second fold FL 31 of the left first region 31 is located to the right of the right second fold FL 11 of the right first region 11. The left edge of the laminated region RL is the right second fold FL 11, and the right edge of the laminated region is the left second fold FL 31. The range of the laminated region RL in the left-right direction X is the region between the right second fold FL 11 and the left second fold FL 31. The vertical Y-range of the lamination region RL is the entire vertical Y-range of the laminate 2. The left first region 31 has two layers of left sheets 30 laminated on it, and the right first region 11 has two layers of right sheets 10 laminated on it. The lamination region RL is formed by the overlapping of the left first region 31, where the two layers of left sheets 30 overlap, and the right first region 11, where the two layers of right sheets 10 overlap, resulting in high adhesion between the right sheet 10 and the left sheet 30. Within the lamination region RL, the left second region 32 abuts against the right first region 11, and the right second region 12 abuts against the left first region 31. Therefore, when removing the right sheet 10 and the left sheet 30 sequentially, their mutual adhesion is ensured, separation of the sheets during removal is suppressed, and the next sheet can be removed stably.

[0028] Since both the right sheet 10 and the left sheet 30 are folded using the second fold as the base point, the length in the left-right direction X when removed can be shortened compared to a form in which they are not folded using the second fold as the base point. Therefore, the length of the next sheet extending from the packaging opening can be reduced, and in a form in which the packaging opening 110 is closed with a lid such as a label, the lid makes it easier to cover the next sheet.

[0029] In a single left sheet 30, the left first region 31 may be located above the left second region 32. Similarly, in a single right sheet 10, the right first region 11 may be located above the right second region 12. Because the left first region 31, which includes the left double fold FL 31, and the right first region 11, which has the right double fold FL 11, are located on the upper side, i.e., the side of the packaging opening, it is easier for the user to grasp the folded portion when taking out the sheet, and the sheet is easily removed in a two-layer state. Being pulled in a two-layer state increases the tensile strength when the sheet is pulled, making it easier to smoothly pull out the next sheet.

[0030] In this embodiment, the right sheet 10 and the left sheet 30 are folded using only the vertically extending folds (right double fold FL11, right edge fold FL12, left double fold FL31, and left edge fold FL32) as the starting points. However, before folding using the vertically extending folds as the starting points, they may be folded using the horizontally extending folds as the starting points.

[0031] The length of the lamination region RL in the left-right direction X may be 25% to 50% of the total length of a single sheet in the left-right direction X. Since the length of the lamination region RL in the left-right direction X is 25% or more of the total length of a single sheet in the left-right direction X, the lamination region RL can be secured, and the next sheet can be removed stably. Also, since the length of the lamination region RL in the left-right direction X is 50% or less of the total length of a single sheet in the left-right direction X, it is suppressed that the adhesion between the right sheet 10 and the left sheet 30 becomes too high, making it easier to separate the right sheet 10 and the left sheet 30 after removal, and making it easier to remove only one sheet. Note that the total length of a single sheet in the left-right direction X is the length of the sheet in the state of the laminate, that is, the length in the folded state, not the unfolded state.

[0032] The laminated body 2 may have a laminated region RL and non-laminated regions NR located on both sides of the laminated region RL in the left-right direction X. The non-laminated region NR is a region where the left first region 31 and the right first region 11 do not overlap, and specifically includes the region between the left end fold FL 32 and the right second fold FL 11, and the region between the right end fold FL 12 and the left second fold FL 31. The maximum number of sheet layers in the laminated region RL is no more than twice the minimum number of sheet layers in the non-laminated region NR. According to this embodiment, by suppressing the difference in the number of sheets between the laminated region RL and the non-laminated region NR, it is possible to suppress the occurrence of a step difference between the laminated region RL and the non-laminated region NR. In addition, the maximum number of sheet layers in the laminated region RL is greater than the maximum number of sheet layers in the non-laminated region NR.

[0033] In order to keep the maximum number of sheet layers in the laminated region RL at or below twice the minimum number of sheet layers in the non-laminated region NR, the right outer end 122 may be placed in the laminated region RL instead of the right inner end 121, and the left outer end 322 may be placed instead of the left inner end 321. With this configuration, the four layers of the right inner end 121, right outer end 122, left inner end 321, and left outer end 322 do not overlap within the laminated region RL, and the thickness of the laminated region RL is prevented from becoming too thick compared to the non-laminated region NR. Alternatively, in order to keep the maximum number of sheet layers in the laminated region RL at or below twice the minimum number of sheet layers in the non-laminated region NR, the right outer end 122 may extend towards the left second fold FL31 rather than the right second fold FL11, and the left outer end 322 may extend towards the right second fold FL11 rather than the left second fold FL31. According to this embodiment, the right outer end portion 122 can be placed in the non-laminated region NR on the left end fold line FL32 side, and the left outer end portion 322 can be placed in the non-laminated region NR on the right end fold line FL12 side, thereby ensuring a sufficient number of sheets in the non-laminated region NR.

[0034] The lamination region RL may overlap the packaging opening 110 in the thickness direction. The lamination region RL only needs to overlap at least a part of the packaging opening 110, and preferably it may overlap the entire area of ​​the packaging opening 110. According to this embodiment, since the highly adhesive lamination region RL of the right sheet 10 and the left sheet 30 overlaps the packaging opening, it is easier to guide the next sheet that follows the previous sheet into the packaging opening 110, and the next sheet can be removed more smoothly through the packaging opening 110.

[0035] The right outer end 122 may extend further towards the left end fold FL32 than the right second fold FL11. The left outer end 322 may extend further towards the right end fold FL12 than the left second fold FL31. In other words, the right outer end 122 and the left outer end 322 may overlap the entire area of ​​the lamination region RL in the left-right direction X. According to this embodiment, the right outer end 122 (left outer end 322) can also improve adhesion to the sheet it comes into contact with in the lamination region RL, making it easier to stably remove the next sheet.

[0036] The right outer end portion 122, which extends from the second right fold FL11 toward the leftmost fold FL32, is spaced apart from the left inner end portion 321 in the left-right direction X, and does not need to overlap with the left inner end portion 321. Similarly, the left outer end portion 322, which extends from the second right fold FL11 toward the rightmost fold FL12, is spaced apart from the right inner end portion 121 in the left-right direction X, and does not need to overlap with the right inner end portion 121. According to this embodiment, the step difference due to the number of sheets stacked in the non-stacked region NR can be reduced, and the number of sheets stacked in the stacked region RL can be increased compared to the non-stacked region NR. Therefore, the adhesion of the sheets in the stacked region RL can be ensured, separation of sheets during removal can be suppressed, and the next sheet can be stably removed.

[0037] The right outer end 122 only needs to overlap with at least a part of the stacking region RL, and the position of the right outer end 122 in the left-right direction X may coincide with the second right fold FL11, or it may be located on the rightmost fold FL12 side of the second right fold FL11. Similarly, the left outer end 322 only needs to overlap with at least a part of the stacking region RL, and the position of the left outer end 322 in the left-right direction X may coincide with the second left fold FL31, or it may be located on the leftmost fold FL32 side of the second left fold FL31.

[0038] (3) Sheet housing according to the second and third embodiments Next, the sheet housing 1Y according to the second embodiment and the sheet housing 1Z according to the third embodiment will be described with reference to Figures 4 and 5. In the following description of the second and third embodiments, the same reference numerals will be used for components similar to those in the embodiments described above, and their description will be omitted. In addition, for components other than those described below, the sheet housing according to the second and third embodiments can also adopt the configuration of the sheet housing according to the first embodiment.

[0039] In the sheet container 1X of the first embodiment, in one left sheet 30, the left first region 31 is located above the left second region 32, and in one right sheet 10, the right second region 12 is located above the right first region 11. In contrast, in the sheet container 1Y and sheet container 1Z of the second embodiment, in one right sheet 10, the right second region 12 is located above the right first region 11, and in one left sheet 30, the left second region 32 is located above the left first region 31. That is, the side with the second fold is located on the bottom surface 120 side, not the packaging opening 110 side.

[0040] In the sheet container 1Y of the second embodiment, in one right sheet 10, the right outer end 122 is located above the right inner end 121, and in one left sheet 30, the left outer end 322 is located above the left inner end 321. That is, among the sheet ends of the right second region 12, the sheet end with a longer length in the left-right direction X (right outer end 122) is located closer to the packaging opening than the sheet end with a shorter length in the left-right direction X (right inner end 121), and among the sheet ends of the left second region 32, the sheet end with a longer length in the left-right direction X (left outer end 322) is located closer to the packaging opening than the sheet end with a shorter length in the left-right direction X (left inner end 321). According to this embodiment, when taking out the sheets, the user can easily grasp the right outer end 122 and the left outer end 322, which have relatively longer lengths in the left-right direction X, and can take out the sheets stably and sequentially.

[0041] In the sheet container 1Z of the third embodiment, in one right sheet 10, the right inner end portion 121 is located above the right outer end portion 122, and in one left sheet 30, the left inner end portion 321 is located above the left outer end portion 322. That is, among the sheet end portions of the right second region 12, the sheet end portion with a shorter length in the left - right direction X (right inner end portion 121) is located closer to the packaging opening side than the sheet end portion with a longer length in the left - right direction X (right outer end portion 122), and among the sheet end portions of the left second region 32, the sheet end portion with a shorter length in the left - right direction X (left inner end portion 321) is located closer to the packaging opening side than the sheet end portion with a longer length in the left - right direction X (left outer end portion 322). According to this aspect, since the right inner end portion 121 is not arranged between the right outer end portion 122 and the right first region 11, the adhesion between the right outer end portion 122 and the right first region 11, and the adhesion to the left sheet 30 sandwiched between the right outer end portion 122 and the right first region 11 are further improved, and the next sheet can be taken out more stably. Similarly, since the left inner end portion 321 is not arranged between the left outer end portion 322 and the left first region 31, the adhesion between the left outer end portion 322 and the left first region 31, and the adhesion to the right sheet 10 sandwiched between the left outer end portion 322 and the left first region 31 are further improved, and the next sheet can be taken out more stably.

[0042] As described above, the present invention has been described in detail using the above - mentioned embodiments. However, it is clear to those skilled in the art that the present invention is not limited to the embodiments described in this specification. The present invention can be implemented in modified and changed forms without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention defined by the description of the claims. Therefore, the description of this specification is for the purpose of illustrative explanation and has no restrictive meaning for the present invention.
