Patent number: 9242826Abstract: This method for producing wet wipes includes the following steps: a step for vertically folding non-woven cloth sheets; a step for impregnating the sheets with a chemical; a step for stacking the sheets; a step for cutting the sheets at predetermined lengths; a step for pulling the cut sheets away from a transporting conveyer provided with a suction mechanism by means of a pusher, and stacking the cut sheets; a step for pressing a bundle comprising the sheets; and a step for packaging the bundle. The pusher is disposed between the transporting conveyers. The blades of the pusher have a plurality of tooth sections. The pusher drops the sheets suctioned to the transporting conveyer downwards by means of moving vertically downwards.Type: GrantFiled: September 16, 2011Date of Patent: January 26, 2016Assignee: UNICHARM CORPORATIONInventors: Takeshi Bando, Daisuke Miyake, Ikue Hiramatsu, Yoshihide Ishikawa

Patent number: 9232876Abstract: In order to achieve both ease of removal and an increase in the rate of impregnation by a predetermined chemical, in this packaging structure of a package of wet wipes, a convex region is formed at a position containing a region that faces the opening of a main package body and that is on the upper surface of a stacked body of wet wipes. The convex region is formed protruding towards the main package body. A space is formed between the region (corresponding to the ends) aside from the convex region formed on the wet wipes and the upper surface to which the opening of the main package body is provided.Type: GrantFiled: September 16, 2011Date of Patent: January 12, 2016Assignee: UNICHARM CORPORATIONInventors: Takeshi Bando, Daisuke Miyake, Ikue Hiramatsu, Yoshihide Ishikawa

Patent number: 8960439Abstract: A wet tissue package that is easily to manufacture with a used wet tissue storage receptacle disposed on a package body. Configured is a wet tissue package equipped with a package body and a used wet tissue storage receptacle, wherein the package body is equipped with a first seal portion formed by joining a pair of first side edges of a sheet member, and a pair of second seal portions formed by joining a pair of second side edges, and a wet tissue housing. The used wet tissue storage receptacle is composed of a first seal extension portion formed by extending in a direction that intersects a direction that the first side edges extend from the first seal, and a sheet member that composes the package body.Type: GrantFiled: February 4, 2011Date of Patent: February 24, 2015Assignee: Uni-Charm CorporationInventors: Takeshi Bando, Takahiro Ueda, Ikue Hiramatsu

Publication number: 20130267401Abstract: The present invention prevents unevenness in the amount of impregnation by a predetermined chemical and prevents a decrease in ease of removal resulting from increasing the rate of impregnation by the predetermined chemical. A press device (15) has: a plurality of rollers (201, 202, 203); press belts (204a, 204b) wound around the plurality of rollers (201, 202, 203); and conveyor belts (205, 206) that convey a stacked body (800). At least one roller from among the plurality of rollers (201, 202, 203) drives the press belts (204a, 204b) at a predetermined speed of conveyance and in a predetermined direction of conveyance. The press belts (204a, 204b) are disposed with a gap in an intersecting direction (CD) perpendicular to the conveyance direction (MD) that is such that the press belts (204a, 204b) can contact both end portions (800A, 800B) of the stacked body (800) in the intersecting direction (CD).Type: ApplicationFiled: September 16, 2011Publication date: October 10, 2013Applicant: Unicharm CorporationInventors: Takeshi Bando, Daisuke Miyake, Ikue Hiramatsu, Yoshihide Ishikawa
