Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a re-sealable dispenser-container containing wet and dry tissues made from natural or synthetic fibers, such as tissue, paper, woven or knitted fabric, non-woven fabric, sheeted and cut cotton layers (cotton balls) for make-up and the like. More particularly, the re-sealable dispenser container of the present invention is suitable for containing sheets of fiber materials which are wetted with water, toilet water or a medicinal liquid.
  • tissues wetted with water, toilet water, medicinal liquid, e.g. disinfectant liquid, and the like have been utilized to clean hands or face, or to remove make-up.
  • containers for wet tissues such as boxes and bags.
  • Many conventional containers are plastic products made by injection molding or vacuum molding, so that the containers are bulky and are not suitable for carrying. Further, the cost of producing such containers is comparatively high.
  • Japanese Laid-open Utility Model Publication No. 49-47018 discloses a flat container made of water-proofing sheet.
  • the container is produced by folding the sheet into thirds, having a bottom part, a middle part and a top part and then bonding both side edges of the bottom part and the middle part.
  • the middle part has an opening for taking out contents therefrom, wheras the top part acts as a lid for covering the opening and the top part has an adhesive layer coated on a surface of the top part facing the middle part, along the edges of the top part, in a shape.
  • the top part is re-sealably adhered to the middle part by means of the adhesive layer.
  • Such a container may be potable and can be used to contain wet tissues. However, this container involves several difficulties.
  • odor of the adhesive infects contents because the air inside the container mixes with the air between the middle part and the top part, i.e. adhesive layer, because of the opening as a result the contents changed in odor or quality. It is difficult to automatically coat adhesive on the inside surface of the top part in a shape and also difficult to form the adhesive layer at a constant position in each container, so that reliably sealing the top part and the middle part is not ensured.
  • the container cannot be made in series production.
  • a re-sealable dispenser-conatainer for containing sheet-like materials for cosmetic or toilet use comprising: a container body made of an impervious sheet-like material which wraps around said sheet-like materials for cosmetic or toilet use; the container body being formed in a rectangular shape and having at least one opening; a flap one end of which is attached to the body at a position apart from an end of said opening and which has a pressure-sensitive adhesive surface; and a non-adhesive made of an impervious sheet-like material in a size at least the same as that of said opening formed on the container body and being adhered to the flap at a position corresponding to the opening.
  • a drawback of the dispenser-container of US-A- 4 156 493 consists therein that it cannot be continuously manufactured. More specifically, the dispenser-container is formed from discontinuous and separate sheet-like material by filing the sheet-like material into two and sealing the three peripheral edges of the separate sheet-like material.
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide a re-sealable dispenser-container in which the odor of adhesive to be used for sealing does not infect contents in the main container body.
  • a further object of the invention is to provide a re-sealable dispenser-container which is able to assure user that nobody has taken the contents out of the container before the user uses it.
  • Still a further object of the invention is to provide sheet-like fiber materials for make-up or toilet articles, to be contained in a re-sealable portable container made of impervious material.
  • the present invention is characterized by the features indicated in the claim.
  • the dispenser-container of the invention can be used to contain a variety of items, i.e. paper, tissue, candy, nailes, cotton balls etc.. More particularly, the dispenser-container of the invention is very useful as it can contain sheet-like fiber materials such as tissue, gauze, apper, woven or knitted fabric, non-woven fabric, cotton balls for make-up, and so on, and especially suitable for wetted sheet-like fiber materials.
  • the Figure is a perspective view of an embodiment of a dispenser-container partially broken away, the container having two spaces in its interior, a flap being provided for one of spaces and a perforated straight line being provided for the other space.
  • a main body 1 As shown in the drawing in the re-sealable dispenser-container according to the present invention an interior of a main body 1 is divided into two spaces 11 and 12 by a partition 9. One of the spaces 12 has an opening (not shown), a flap 3 with an adhesive surface 4 and a non-adhesive closing member 5. For the other space 11, a straight perforated line 13 is provided in the main body 1, which main body can be easily broken along the perforated line 13 to take out contents therefrom.
  • the main container body 1 is a film made of synthetic resins such as polyethylene, polyester, polypropylene, polyvinyl chloride, polyamide, acetate, cellophane, and etc., and the film may be single layer or a laminated layer.
  • the film may be a laminated layer of the above-mentioned film and aluminium sheet.
  • the main container body as shown is a flat bag. Such bag is made of three superimposed sheets by bonding longitudinal edges of the sheet and then bonding both transverse end edges. Bonding edges of film may be carried out by heat-sealing, ultrasonic sealing or high-frequency sealing.
  • the flaps 3 may be made of the same material as mentioned-above in connection with the main container body.
  • the flap 3 may be fixed to the main body 1 by means of heat-sealing, ultrasonic sealing, high-frequency sealing, or adhesive bonding.
  • the fixing means is appropriately selected in accordance with material of the main body 1.
  • the flap 3 has a larger area than the opening in the main body 1 in order to completely cover the opening.
  • the flap 3 may be in various shapes such as a circle, a rectangle, an ellipse, a racing track shape, and so on.
  • a pressure-sensitive adhesive such as a acrylic adhesive, rubber adhesive, polyester adhesive, polyolefin adhesive, and the like, which adhesive may be coated by means of roller coating, knife coating or spray coating. If the flap 3 and the closing member 5 are transparent, it is convenient to see the state of the contents.
  • the flap 3 may be provided with a projecting part 7 at the free end and thereof in order to easily pick up the flap with the fingers to open the flap.
  • the projecting part 7 is not coated with adhesive.
  • the closing member 5 is preferably made of a comparatively flexible film or synthetic resins such as polyethylene, polypropylene, polyamide, polyvinyl chlorid, and the like.
  • the main body 1 is provided with a partition 9 in its interior.
  • the partition 9 divides the interior of the main body 1 into two spaces 11 and 12, space 12 has an opening not shown.
  • the partiition 9 is made of a film of synthetic resins as used for a main body 1, and preferably the circumference of the partition 9 on both sides may be coated with a hot-melt adhesive having a lower melting point than the main body.
  • Such a dispenser-container having two spaces is portable and very convenient for containing two different kinds of contents, as dry tissues and wet tissues.
  • Contents to be accomodated in the interior of a main container body 1 are preferably contained before completion of the forming of the dispenser-container from one or more sheet-like materials, i.e. before sealing the edges of a sheet or sheets longitudinally and transversely.
  • a re-sealable dispenser-container can be produced according to a method as described in detail in European patent specification 80 107 516.9.
