FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a household thin paper storage container 100 according to an embodiment to which the present invention is applied. 2 and 3 are cross-sectional views of the household thin paper storage container 100 taken along line AA in FIG. 1. FIG. 2 shows a state in which the upper lid 3 is opened, and FIG. 3 shows that the upper lid 3 is closed. This state is schematically shown.

  In the following description, the upper surface when the household thin paper P is used is the upper surface of the household thin paper storage container 100 and the opposite side is the lower surface of the household thin paper storage container 100. Moreover, it is orthogonal to the up-down direction, the extending direction of the rotating shaft 31 of the upper lid 3 is defined as the left-right direction, and the direction substantially orthogonal to the up-down direction and the left-right direction is defined as the front-rear direction.

The household thin paper storage container 100 stores, for example, wet household thin paper P such as wet tissue or tissue paper.
Specifically, as shown in FIG. 1, a household thin paper storage container 100 includes a container main body 1 for storing household thin paper P inside, a bottom lid 2 for closing the bottom opening 11 of the container main body 1, and a container. An upper lid (lid body) 3 rotatably attached to the container main body 1 so as to open and close the outlet 12 of the household thin paper P provided on the upper portion of the main body 1, and the upper lid 3 is rotated. And an operation unit 4 for causing the operation to occur.
Moreover, the storage space part 5 (refer FIG. 2 etc.) which accommodates the household thin paper P in the container main body 1 is formed by attaching the bottom cover 2 to the container main body 1. FIG.

A rotating shaft 31 (see FIG. 2) extending in the left-right direction of the upper lid 3 is pivotally attached to the upper rear end side of the container body 1 so that the upper lid 3 rotates around the left-right axis. It is free to move.
Moreover, the operation part 4 is provided in the upper front end side of the container main body 1, and when the said operation part 4 is predetermined operation (for example, pressing operation etc.), the upper cover 3 will rotate upwards.
That is, for example, the upper lid 3 is urged in an opening direction of the upper lid 3 by an urging means (not shown) such as a spring, and the upper lid 3 is rotated by the rotation restricting mechanism 6 (see FIG. 2 and the like). It is attached to the container body 1 in a regulated state. Then, when the restriction of the rotation of the upper lid 3 by the rotation restriction mechanism 6 is released based on a predetermined operation of the operation unit 4 by the user, the upper lid 3 is rotated upward by the urging means. As a result, the outlet 12 is exposed and opened.

  As the rotation restricting mechanism 6, for example, the upper lid side convex portion 61 formed at the distal end portion on the operation portion 4 side of the upper lid 3 is an operation portion side convex portion formed at the distal end portion on the upper lid 3 side of the operation portion 4. A mechanism for restricting the rotation of the upper lid 3 by being locked to the portion 62 is mentioned, but it is an example and not limited to this, and can be arbitrarily changed as appropriate.

An outlet 12 for taking out the household thin paper P is provided at the center of the upper surface of the container body 1.
For example, a top surface portion 14 is provided in the upper portion of the container main body 1 inside an upper lid receiving portion 13 that receives the closed upper lid 3, and an outlet 12 is formed at a substantially central portion of the top surface portion 14. The outlet 12 is formed long in the front-rear direction (a direction orthogonal to the extending direction of the rotation shaft 31), and is partitioned so that the width of the midway portion M in the front-rear direction is narrowed. That is, the middle part M has a constricted shape by projecting in the left-right direction so that the left and right edge portions of the outlet 12 approach each other. Further, the outlet 12 is partitioned by a midway portion M so that the first opening portion 121 on the rotation shaft 31 side of the upper lid 3 and the second opening portion 122 on the operation portion 4 side (the opposite side to the rotation shaft 31). Is formed.
The first opening portion 121 forms a region through which the household thin paper P drawn mainly from the container body 1 through the outlet 12 passes. Further, the second opening portion 122 forms a region into which the household thin paper P drawn mainly through the first opening portion 121 is pushed.
Further, the size of the first opening portion 121 may be larger than the size of the second opening portion 122, whereby the household thin paper P drawn out through the first opening portion 121 is used as the container body. 1 can be prevented from falling inside (lower side).

In addition, a guide portion 15 that guides the household thin paper P to the inside of the outlet 12 is provided on the inner side (lower side) of the outlet 12 of the container body 1.
That is, for example, the guide portion 15 is formed on the lower surface of the top surface portion 14 that forms the outlet 12 of the container body 1 and protrudes downward from the edge portion on the operation portion 4 side of the outlet 12. Has been. And the guide part 15 puts the household thin paper P pulled out through the first opening part 121 partitioned by the middle part M of the outlet 12 and inserted into the second opening part 122 inside the outlet 12. Guide (see FIG. 3). Specifically, the guide portion 15 is provided at a position facing a pushing portion 32 (described later) of the upper lid 3 in a state where the upper lid 3 is rotated so as to close the outlet 12. The household thin paper P pushed in is guided to the inside of the outlet 12 (inside the container main body 1) through the second opening portion 122.

On the inner side of the upper lid 3, a pushing portion 32 for pushing the household thin paper P into the outlet 12 side is provided.
That is, the pushing portion 32 is, for example, an inner surface of the upper lid 3 and is formed in a shape that protrudes rearward and downward from a portion on the operation portion 4 side (see FIG. 3). Specifically, the pushing portion 32 is provided at a position facing the second opening portion 122 of the outlet 12 in the upper lid 3 in a state where the upper lid 3 is rotated so as to close the outlet 12. The household thin paper P drawn out through the first opening portion 121 of the outlet 12 is closer to the outlet 12 side (lower side) than the engaging portion between the outer edge of the upper lid 3 and the upper lid receiving portion 13 of the container body 1. ).

  The container body 1, the bottom lid 2, the top lid 3, and the operation unit 4 are made of, for example, PE (polyethylene), PP (polypropylene), PET (polyethylene terephthalate), or ABS resin. Thus, the present invention is not limited to these and can be arbitrarily changed as appropriate. Further, the top surface portion 14 forming the outlet 12 of the container body 1 is formed as a separate member made of, for example, a resin having a low thickness relative to other portions or a highly slidable resin relative to other portions. May be.

Next, an operation when closing the upper lid 3 after using the household thin paper storage container 100 will be described.
First, when the household thin paper storage container 100 is used, the household thin paper P is pulled out through the first opening portion 121 of the outlet 12 with the upper lid 3 opened (see FIG. 1).
After the use of the household thin paper storage container 100, when the upper lid 3 operated by the user rotates downward about the rotation shaft 31, the pushing portion 32 of the upper lid 3 is pulled out through the first opening portion 121. It comes into contact with the tip of the household thin paper P (see FIG. 2). Then, when the upper lid 3 is further rotated, the pushing portion 32 pushes the leading end portion of the household thin paper P toward the second opening portion 122 side of the outlet 12. The leading end portion of the household thin paper P pushed into the second opening portion 122 is guided to the inside of the container body 1 by the guide portion 15 of the container body 1 (see FIG. 3).
Then, when the upper lid 3 that rotates downward is accommodated in the upper lid receiving portion 13 of the container body 1, the rotation of the upper lid 3 is restricted by the rotation restriction mechanism 6.

As described above, according to the household thin paper storage container 100 of the present embodiment, the outlet 12 of the household thin paper P is provided in the front-rear direction orthogonal to the left-right direction, which is the extending direction of the rotation shaft 31 of the upper lid 3. Since the middle part M is partitioned so as to be narrow, and the first opening part 121 is formed on the rotating shaft 31 side, the household thin paper P is pulled out through the first opening part 121 and pulled out. The household thin paper P can be separated from the engaging portion (particularly, the portion on the operation unit 4 side) between the upper lid 3 and the container body 1, and when the upper lid 3 is rotated to close the outlet 12, It is possible to prevent the thin paper P for use from being caught in the engaging portion between the upper lid 3 and the container main body 1. Thereby, the operation | movement which rotates the upper cover 3 and closes the extraction port 12 can be performed appropriately.
Further, the household thin paper P drawn out through the take-out port 12 comes into contact with the midway part M, so that it is difficult to fall into the inner side (lower side) of the container body 1.

Moreover, the household thin paper P drawn out through the first opening portion 121 on the rotating shaft 31 side of the outlet 12 by the pushing portion 32 provided at a position facing the outlet 12 of the upper lid 3 is connected to the upper lid 3. It can be properly pushed into the outlet 12 side (especially inside the second opening portion 122) from the engagement portion with the container body 1, and the household thin paper P is applied to the engagement portion between the upper lid 3 and the container body 1. It is possible to appropriately suppress pinching.
Further, the guide portion 15 provided at a position inside the outlet 12 of the container main body 1 and facing the pushing portion 32 passes through the first opening portion 121 of the outlet 12 on the rotating shaft 31 side. The pulled-out household thin paper P can be properly guided to the inside of the outlet 12 (inside the container main body 1), and the household thin paper P is caught between the engagement portions of the upper lid 3 and the container main body 1. This can be suppressed more appropriately.

The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and various improvements and design changes may be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention.
For example, the shape of the outlet 12 illustrated in the above embodiment is merely an example and is not limited thereto, and can be arbitrarily changed as appropriate. Specifically, for example, the midway portion M may have a shape that completely partitions the outlet 12A into the first opening portion 121 and the second opening portion 122 (see FIG. 4). In other words, the midway portion M is formed by contact of portions protruding from the left and right edge portions of the outlet 12A toward the center, whereby the outlet 12A is partitioned into the first opening portion 121 and the second opening portion 122. It is done.

Moreover, in the above embodiment, the household thin paper P is pushed closer to the outlet 12 side than the engaging portion between the upper lid 3 and the container body 1 by the pushing portion 32 provided on the upper lid 3. It is an example and it is not restricted to this, It can change arbitrarily arbitrarily whether the upper cover 3 comprises the pushing part 32 or not.
Similarly, the household thin paper P is guided to the inside of the outlet 12 by the guide portion 15 provided in the container main body 1. However, this is an example and the container main body 1 is not limited to this. Whether or not the unit 15 is provided can be arbitrarily changed as appropriate.

  Furthermore, in the said embodiment and each modification, although the household thin paper storage container 100 which stores wet household thin paper P, such as a wet tissue and a wet sheet, was illustrated, it is an example and it is restricted to this. Instead, for example, the household thin paper storage container 100 for storing other household thin paper P such as tissue paper may be used. Further, the shape, material, and the like of the household thin paper storage container 100 are merely examples, and are not limited thereto, and can be arbitrarily changed as appropriate.

  In addition, it should be thought that embodiment disclosed this time is an illustration and restrictive at no points. The scope of the present invention is defined by the terms of the claims, rather than the description above, and is intended to include any modifications within the scope and meaning equivalent to the terms of the claims.
