This application claims the benefit under 35 USC ยง 119 of Korean Patent Application No. 10-2023-0088073 filed on Jul. 7, 2023, in the Korean Intellectual Property Office (KIPO), the entire disclosures 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, and may cut various types of cleaning wipe regardless of a thickness and a perforated pitch width of the cleaning wipe with the same withdrawal hole size, while preventing the next cleaning wipe from falling down after cutting the previous cleaning wipe.
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solution is absorbed are rolled in a vertical cylindrical shape, and a wipe located at an upper end is sequentially withdrawn one at a time through a withdrawal hole formed in an upper surface of a wipe package.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from an outside through a separate opening/closing device, and in this state, opened every time a cleaning wipe is withdrawn, such that evaporation of liquid cleaning solution from the cleaning wipes is minimized.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 in which 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 the same.
In this process, a first cleaning wipe which is completely withdrawn to the outside of the withdrawal hole, and a portion of an upper end of a second cleaning wipe connected directly below the first cleaning wipe are withdrawn to the outside of the withdrawal hole together. Accordingly, the first cleaning wipe is completely withdrawn from the withdrawal hole, and the upper end portion of the second cleaning wipe is partially withdrawn to the outside of the withdrawal hole.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, there is a problem in that a plurality of wipe sheets are pulled up with being uncut, because a force required to cut the wipe and the size of the withdrawal hole are different from each other according to the various thicknesses of the wipes and a pitch (width) between the wipes at the time of perforation.
In addition, a manufacturer has to use a cover with a different withdrawal hole size according to the thickness of the wipe, and when using a cover with one hole size, a user should adjust the force when cutting the wipe by regulating the perforation pitch, which is cumbersome.
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 regardless of a thickness and a perforation pitch of the cleaning wipe.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a cleaning wipe case which may prevent a second wipe from falling down a withdrawal hole after inserting a first wipe into the withdrawal hole and cutting without having to pull the second wipe up again, and easily cut and use the wipe in any direction except for an entrance of the withdrawal hole.

Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
A cleaning wipe case according to an embodiment of the present invention is a cleaning wipe container for withdrawing cleaning wipes without contact, and may include a case lid 110, a case main body 120, a sub cover 131 provided on one upper side of the case main body 120, a withdrawal part 140 penetrating a central portion of the sub cover 131, a withdrawal member 150 whose one side is connected to the sub cover 131, and a storage part 160 provided on one side of an edge of the sub cover 131.
The case lid 110 is a member made of a metallic or plastic material and connected to one upper side of the case main body 120 through a connection pad, and as shown in
The case main body 120 is made of a metallic or plastic material and is manufactured in a cylindrical shape, for example, to define an internal space in which the cleaning wipes are stored, such that the cleaning wipes made of a type of non-woven fabric are rolled in a circular shape to be accommodated therein. This case main body 120 may densely accommodate the cleaning wipes in a circular shape to improve adhesion between them, thereby efficiently accommodating a larger number of the cleaning wipes. Here, the case main body 120 is shown in a cylindrical shape in
As shown in
Specifically, as shown in
Here, the withdrawal hole 141 is connected to spaced middle ends 131-2 at opposite ends thereof, has a circular radial shape penetrating a portion of the sub cover 131, may be provided in a radial shape by the inner radial pattern 142 having a plurality of curves, and may be formed in an area of 10% to 50% based on the area of the sub cover 131.
The inner radial pattern 142, which defines the withdrawal hole 141, is a zigzag pattern having a plurality of inner and outer curves, and may be connected to the spaced middle ends 131-2 at opposite ends thereof, thus to form a curved line opened toward the middle ends 131-2 as shown in
As shown in
As shown in
Specifically, the withdrawal member 150 includes: a body 151 which includes a finger insert hole 152 provided in an one end portion thereof, and has a tapered shape whose width is decreased toward the other end; a plurality of first barbs 153-1 provided on one side of the body 151 toward the opening A; and a plurality of second barbs 153-2 provided toward the sub cover 131 along the other side of the body 151 corresponding to the first barb 153-1. When a user inserting a finger into the finger insert hole 152 and pulling to cut the tear portion, the withdrawal member 150 may be separated.
At this time, the plurality of first barbs 153-1 and second barbs 153-2 may be provided to be inclined at an angle along one side and the other side of the body 151 having a tapered shape, that is, to be inclined at an acute angle toward the finger insert hole 152.
The user may insert the other end of the withdrawal member 150 including the first barbs 153-1 and the second barbs 153-2 into the withdrawal hole 141. Accordingly, the first barbs 153-1 and the second barbs 153-2 are inserted into the central portion of the cleaning wipe accommodated in a rolled form in a concentric circle inside the case main body 120, and are hooked to the cleaning wipe forming the central portion. In this state, the user withdraws the first cleaning wipe through the withdrawal hole 141, and then also continuously withdraw the second cleaning wipe connected to the first cleaning wipe before a perforated connection line is disconnected. Accordingly, the user can withdraw the cleaning wipe without separate contact.
Alternatively, according to the user's selection, when the first barbs 153-1 and the second barbs 153-2 of the withdrawal member 150 are inserted into the opening A, and are hooked to a cleaning wipe forming an outer portion of the roll of the cleaning wipes accommodated in a rolled form in a concentric circle inside the case main body 120, the user may withdraw it through the opening A, or otherwise, may place the cleaning wipe in the withdrawal hole 141 passing through the middle ends 131-2. At this time, the user may insert the wipe remaining after withdrawing through the withdrawal hole 141 into the inner curve of the inner radial pattern 142 and place it on the holding pattern 143 to prevent the wipe from falling down.
Thereafter, when the user withdraws the cleaning wipe placed on the inner radial pattern 142 and the holding pattern 143, then the next cleaning wipe is placed on the inner radial pattern 142 and the holding pattern 143, such that the cleaning wipes can be continuously withdrawn. Accordingly, the user can withdraw the cleaning wipe without separate contact.
Accordingly, in the cleaning wipe case according to the embodiment of the present invention, the cleaning wipe stored inside the cleaning wipe case 100 may be easily withdrawn upward through the withdrawal hole 141 using the withdrawal member 150 even without the user touching the cleaning wipe with his or her fingers regardless of the thickness and the perforation pitch of the cleaning wipe, and may place the next wipe on the inner radial pattern 142 and the holding pattern 143. Therefore, it is possible to use the cleaning wipe 10 hygienically.
The storage part 160 may have a shape of a penetration slot or a groove penetrating the sub cover 131 along the one side of the edge thereof in a predetermined length. This storage part 160 is intended to insert and store the withdrawal member 150 after the user withdraws the cleaning wipe 10 using the withdrawal member 150, as shown in
Accordingly, as shown in
Therefore, the cleaning wipe case 100 according to embodiments of the present invention has advantages that the user may withdraw the cleaning wipe inside the case using the withdrawal member 150 regardless of the thickness and the perforation pitch of the cleaning wipe, and insert the remaining wipe into the inner curve of the inner radial pattern 142 and place on the holding pattern 143, thereby providing convenience for the user to use the cleaning wipe hygienically.
Although the technical idea of the present invention has been specifically described according to the above preferred embodiments, it should be noted that the above-described embodiments are for the purpose of description and are not intended to limit the present invention.
In addition, those skilled in the art to which the present invention pertains will appreciate that various modifications are possible within the scope of the technical idea of the present invention.
