  • Publication number: 20160022098
    Abstract: A wipe dispenser includes: a stack of wipes; a storage body provided with a take-out hole member that enables a wipe to be pulled out from a take-out hole; and a lid that can close and open the take-out hole from the outside. An orifice member, in which an orifice is formed for applying resistance to the wipe when the wipe is pulled out from the take-out hole, is provided between the take-out hole member and the stack of wipes; and the orifice of the orifice member is configured to move to a deeper side of the storage body according to an amount by which a bulk of the stack of wipes is reduced as a result of the wipes being pulled out from the take-out hole. The orifice member is supported by the take-out hole member and biased toward the deeper side of the storage body.

  • Publication number: 20160007812
    Abstract: In exemplary embodiments, a wipe packaging body in which a lid body can be closed securely even when a bulk of a stack of wipes stored in a storage container decreases, thereby preventing the wipes from drying out, and the wipes can be extracted more easily by picking up a tip end part of each wipe. In the container of the wipe packaging body, an extraction port member is hermetically joined to an opening portion of the storage container, and an orifice member that applies two types of resistance in order to separate a wipe extracted initially from the stored stack of wipes from a following wipe. The orifice member has a pressing portion that presses the stack of wipes so as to apply a first resistance to the wipes and an orifice that applies a second resistance generated by frictional force to the wipes.

  • Publication number: 20160000278
    Abstract: A wipe dispenser has: a stacked body configured by stacking sheet-like folded wipes; a storage body for storing the stacked body and having, at an upper portion, a dispenser opening from which the wipes are pulled out; and a pressing member that is pressed against an upper surface of the stacked body by biasing force, wherein the pressing member ensures that resistance generated when pulling the wipes through the dispenser opening is uneven between the left-hand side and the right-hand side of the upper surface of the stacked body, which is divided by a virtual straight line therebetween that is perpendicular to a fold line of each of the wipes.

  • Publication number: 20150368026
    Abstract: A wet tissue package that prevents wet tissue from drying by closing lid even when volume of wet tissue piled body inside container decreases. The wet tissue package includes: wet tissue piled body; container structure that accommodates wet tissue piled body therein and includes extraction portion through which wet tissue is drawn out from extraction hole; and a lid that is provided at outside of extraction hole so as to close and open extraction hole. The resistance application member includes a resistance application portion applying resistance to wet tissue when wet tissue is drawn out from extraction hole. Further, the wet tissue package is formed so that resistance application portion of resistance application member moves toward rear of container structure in response to volume decrease amount of wet tissue piled body as wet tissue is drawn out from extraction hole.

  • Patent number: 9067724
    Abstract: A wet tissue package having a folded wet tissue body that has a separation section formed so that the wet tissues can separate. A housing container houses the folded wet tissue body and has an opening formed for the wet tissues configuring the housed folded wet tissue body to be pulled out therefrom. The wet tissue package also has a base plate attached to the opening and to which a notch section has been formed at a predetermined position. The notch section has a plucking hole and a portion of the opening's edge of the base plate that is attached to the opening. The notch section is provided with a removal hole that interconnects with the plucking hole and separates a wet tissue from the wet tissue body at the separation section. The wet tissue package also has a lid that can seal the plucking hole and removal hole.
