Here, FIG. 11B is a schematic view showing a pair of guide protrusions and a pair of concave grooves.

Next, the operation of the present embodiment having such a configuration will be described.

First, the operating body 32 provided in the lid device 30 of the wet tissue warmer 1 is operated to release the engagement between the locking body 31 and the engaging portion 17 of the container body 10, and the lid device 30 is subjected to the force of the spring 9a. To open by.

Next, the pair of locking bodies 22 of the inner lid 20 are moved in a direction approaching each other, the engagement between the pair of locking bodies 22 and the engaging portion 18 of the container body 10 is released, and the inner lid 20 is spring 9b. (See Fig. 2).

In this case, since the protrusion 60 of the lid device 30 is separated from the upper body 59 of the pair of stopper mechanisms 50, the claws 52a of the stopper rack 52 of the stopper mechanism 50 and the claws 53a of the stopper rack 53 are stoppered by the forces of the spring 54 and the spring 55. The cover 51 projects outward from both sides in the lateral direction. After that, the wet tissue storage body 2A is placed on the push-up plate 40 in the container body 10.

Next, the wet tissue storage body 2A on the push-up plate 40 is pushed from above to below. In this case, the claws 52a of the stopper rack 52 and the claws 53a of the stopper rack 53 have a mountain shape, and each of the claws 52a and 53a has an inclined upper surface 62 and a horizontally formed lower surface 63. Therefore, the push-up plate 40 slides on the upper surface 62 of the claws 52a of the stopper rack 52 and the upper surface 62 of the claws 53a of the stopper rack 53, and the claws 52a of the stopper rack 52 and the claws 53a of the stopper rack 53 are placed on the stopper cover 51. Move downward while retracting inward from both sides in the lateral direction. After that, the push-up plate 40 reaches below the lowermost claw 52a of the stopper rack 52 and below the lowermost claw 53a of the stopper rack 53.

After that, the inner lid 20 is closed, the upper opening 10a of the container body 10 is sealed by the inner lid 20, then the lid device 30 is closed, and the inner lid 20 is covered by the lid device 30.

In this case, the protrusion 60 of the lid device 30 extends downward through the opening 20a of the inner lid 20 and the upper end opening 51a of the stopper cover 51 of the stopper mechanism 50 to press the upper body 59 downward. As a result, the claws 52a of the stopper rack 52 and the claws 53a of the stopper rack 53 are retracted inward from both ends in the lateral direction of the stopper cover 51.

Therefore, the push-up plate 40 is pushed upward by the force of the spring 5 without being restricted by the stopper mechanism 50, and the wet tissue storage body 2A on the push-up plate 40 is pressed against the lower surface of the lower plate 33 of the lid device 30.

During this time, the wet tissue 2 of the wet tissue storage body 2A is heated via the lower plate 33 by the heating means 36A built in the lid device 30.

At the time of use, the lid device 30 is opened from the container body 10 (see FIG. 4A).

Next, the wet tissue 2 of the wet tissue storage body 2A is heated by the heating means 36A and can be taken out from the outlet 21 of the inner lid 20.

In this case, since the lid device 30 is released from the container body 10, the protrusion 60 of the lid device 30 is separated from the upper body 59 of the stopper mechanism 50. Along with this, the claws 52a of the stopper rack 52 of the stopper mechanism 50 and the claws 53a of the stopper rack 53 project outward from both lateral sides of the stopper cover 51, and the push-up plate 40 engages with the claws 52a and the lower surface 63 of the claws 53a. In addition, the ascending movement is hindered. As a result, a large force is not applied to the wet tissue storage body 2A from the push-up plate 40, and the wet tissue 2 can be smoothly taken out from the outlet of the inner lid 20.

Next, the action of mounting the container body 10 on the base 80 will be described.

First, as shown in FIG. 12, a finger is inserted into the gripping groove 30A provided in the lid device 30 of the wet tissue warmer 1, and the lid device 30 is gripped with one hand. Next, the container body 10 and the lid device 30 are placed on the base 80 so that the inlet 70 faces the magnet connector 81 side. At this time, the guide protrusions 82 and 82 on the base 80 are fitted into the concave groove 72 on the container body 10 side. After that, the container body 10 and the lid device 30 are slid toward the magnet connector 81 side along the direction in which the pair of guide protrusions 82, 82 extend.

In this case, since the guide protrusions 82 and 82 on the base 80 have a gentle mountain shape when viewed from the side, when the container body 10 moves to the magnet connector 81 side, the height of the container body 10 is lowered. Gradually go down to. In this way, the inlet 70 of the container body 10 approaches the magnet connector 81 side, and at the same time, the heights of the inlet 70 and the magnet connector 81 match (see FIG. 13). Further, by moving the container body 10 and the lid device 30 to the magnet connector 81 side, the inlet 70 of the container body 10 can be attracted to and connected to the magnet connector 81 of the base 80 with one touch by operating only one hand. can.

When removing the container body 10 from the base 80, first, the container body 10 has a gripping groove 30A, the container body 10 is rotated upward around the connection portion between the inlet 70 and the magnet connector 81, and the inlet 70 and the magnet connector are formed. The connection of 81 is released. Next, the container body 10 is pulled away from the magnet connector 81 of the base 80. As a result, the container body 10 can be easily removed from the base 80.

Further, the claws 52a of the stopper rack 52 and the claws 53a of the stopper rack 53 project in a direction parallel to the side surfaces 11a and 11b of the container body 10. Therefore, the stopper mechanism 50 can be made as thin as possible, and therefore the amount of protrusion of the stopper mechanism 50 into the container body 10 can be suppressed. Further, since the stopper cover 51 has a pair of pins 58 provided side by side in the vertical direction and the stopper racks 52 and 53 each have springs 54 and 55 provided side by side in the vertical direction, the stopper racks 52 and 53 can be used. It can be moved laterally with high accuracy without tilting.

Further, since the claws 52a and 53a of the stopper racks 52 and 53 project in the direction parallel to the side surfaces 11a and 11b of the container body 10, even if the stopper mechanism 50 is thinly configured, the claws 52a and 53a of the stopper racks 52 and 53 and the claws 52a and 53a The engagement with the push-up plate 40 does not easily come off. That is, when the claws 52a and 53a of the stopper racks 52 and 53 of the stopper mechanism 50 project so as to project orthogonally to the side surfaces 11a and 11b of the container body 10, when the thickness of the stopper mechanism 50 is reduced, the claws 52a are correspondingly reduced. , 53a also has a small protrusion amount, and it is conceivable that the claws 52a, 53a of the stopper racks 52, 53 and the push-up plate 40 can be easily disengaged. On the other hand, according to the present embodiment, the thickness direction of the stopper mechanism 50 and the protruding direction of the claws 52a and 53a of the stopper racks 52 and 53 are orthogonal to each other. Therefore, even if the stopper mechanism 50 is made thin, the engagement between the claws 52a and 53a of the stopper racks 52 and 53 and the push-up plate 40 does not easily come off.

Further, a spring storage wall 14 for storing one end of the spring 5 is provided on the bottom surface 12 of the container body 10, a plurality of ribs 15 are provided on the inner surface of the spring storage wall 14, and the spring 5 is placed on the rib 15.
