This application claims the benefit under 35 USC $119 of Korean Patent Application No. 10-2023-0041979, filed on Mar. 30, 2023, in the Korean Intellectual Property Office, the entire disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference for all purposes.
The present invention relates to a cleaning wipe case, and more particularly, to a cleaning wipe case which allows a user to easily and hygienically use cleaning wipes.
In general, a structure for withdrawing cleaning wipes is formed in such a way that a plurality of cleaning wipes in which a liquid cleaning solution is absorbed are rolled in a vertical cylindrical shape, and a wipe located at an upper end is sequentially withdrawn one at a time through a withdrawal hole formed in an upper surface of a wipe package.
In addition, there is also a structure in which a portion surrounding the withdrawal hole is sealed from an outside through a separate opening/closing device, and in this state, opened every time a cleaning wipe is withdrawn, such that evaporation of liquid cleaning solution from the cleaning wipes is minimized. In such a structure, as a method of withdrawing a cleaning wipe, in a state where the portion surrounding the withdrawal hole is opened using the opening/closing device, initially, fingers are put into the withdrawal hole to hold a wipe located at the uppermost end and then pull the cleaning wipe upward to withdraw.
In this process, a first cleaning wipe which is completely withdrawn to the outside of the withdrawal hole, and a portion of an upper end of a second cleaning wipe connected directly below the first cleaning wipe are withdrawn to the outside of the withdrawal hole together. Accordingly, the first cleaning wipe is completely withdrawn from the withdrawal hole, and the upper end portion of the second cleaning wipe is partially withdrawn to the outside of the withdrawal hole.
At this time, when a user directly grabs the cleaning wipe rolled in the middle with his or her fingers to take the cleaning wipe out of the cylindrical case and pulls it out, foreign matters and germs, etc. may be transferred from the fingers to the clean wipe, and an operation of picking up an end portion of the rolled cleaning wipe with the fingers is cumbersome and not hygienic.
In particular, in a situation where the demand for the cleaning and sterilizing wipes has exploded due to a global pandemic, there is a need for a product that enables users to easily and hygienically use the cleaning wipes by improving the conventional inconvenient and unsanitary method of use.
In consideration of the above-mentioned circumstances, it is an object of the present invention to provide a cleaning wipe case which allows a user to easily and hygienically use cleaning wipes.
To achieve the above object, according to an aspect of the present invention, there is provided a cleaning wipe case, including: a case main body provided in a cylinder shape; a case lid connected to one upper side of the case main body; a sub cover provided on one upper inner side of the case main body; and a withdrawal member having one side connected to the sub cover through a perforated tear line.
In the cleaning wipe case according to an embodiment of the present invention, the sub cover may be provided in contact with one side below an upper rim so as to cover an upper center of the case main body inside the case main body, and may include a penetration part provided at an upper central position of the case main body.
In the cleaning wipe case according to an embodiment of the present invention, the penetration part may include a penetration aperture penetrating a portion of the sub cover corresponding to the upper central position of the case main body, and a plurality of cutting lines connected to the penetration aperture and extending radially.
In the cleaning wipe case according to an embodiment of the present invention, the withdrawal member may include: a body made of the same material as the sub cover and having one side connected to the sub cover through the perforated tear line, wherein the body includes a finger insert hole provided in a one end portion thereof, and has a tapered shape whose width is decreased toward the other end; and a plurality of first barbs provided on the other side of the body.
In the cleaning wipe case according to an embodiment of the present invention, the withdrawal member may further include a plurality of second barbs along one side of the body corresponding to the first barbs, wherein the plurality of second barbs are provided to have an acute angle toward the finger insert hole based on the perforated tear line.
The cleaning wipe case according to an embodiment of the present invention may further include a storage part provided on one side of an edge of the sub cover, wherein the storage part has a shape of a penetration slot or a groove penetrating the sub cover along one side of the edge thereof in a predetermined length.
In the cleaning wipe case according to an embodiment of the present invention, the storage part may have a smaller length than a width of an upper end of the withdrawal member; and a mounting height h1 of the withdrawal member inserted into the storage part may be formed equal to or lower than a height of the upper rim of the case main body.
