Several definitions that apply throughout this disclosure will now be presented.
As shown in FIG. I to
A first fastening portion 11 extends along an edge of the first containing portion 1. A second fastening portion 21 extends along an edge of the second containing portion 2 to detachably engage with the first fastening portion 11.
A first insulation layer 12 is located on the first containing portion 1. A second insulation layer 22 is located on the second containing portion 2. The first insulation layer 12 and the second insulation layer 22 are capable of inhibiting conductive heat transfer and liquid evaporation between inside and outside of the container when the container is in the closed position. When the container is in the open position, the wet tissue may be extracted from the containing room 3. The first insulation layer 12 and the second insulation layer 22 may be made of any natural or synthetic insulation materials, such as aluminum foil adapted to improve the thermal efficiency of the container in the closed condition.
A first productive layer 13 is located on the first containing portion 1 at an exterior side of the first insulation layer 12. A second productive layer 23 is located on the second containing portion 2 at an exterior side of the second insulation layer 22. The first productive layer 13 and the second productive layer 23 are located on the exterior of the container, and may be flexible, durable, waterproof material forming a conjoined cuboid shape in the open position. Such material may be synthetic, woven, nylon, polyester, cotton, oxford fabric, or other suitable fabrics. The first insulation layer 12 and the first productive layer 13 may have coextensive conjoined shape. The second insulation layer 22 and the second productive layer 23 may also have coextensive conjoined shape.
The thermal element 4 is located between the first insulation layer 12 and the first productive layer 13 in the first containing portion 1, so that the thermal element 4 can not be directly touched when extracting the wet tissue paper from container. The thermal element 4 may a planar sheet of thermal wiring and includes a silicone protective coating. The coating can also prevent being scalded while extracting the wet tissue paper. The heating element 4 may have a square pattern, a rectangular pattern, or any other suitable pattern. The thermal element 4 is located in the first containing portion 1, so that only the top portion of the wet tissue close to the thermal element 4 can be heated to avoid water loss of all the wet tissue.
A power connector 14 is defined in the first productive layer 13 and is electrically coupled to the thermal element 4. A battery pocket 24 is defined in an outer side of the second productive layer 23 for receiving a portable power source, such as a rechargeable battery. The portable power source can supply power to the thermal element 4. The power connector 14 can be a 5V/2A direct current adapter.
The first containing portion 1 is cuboid shape. The first fastening portion 11 includes a first bend portion 111 and a first zipper portion 112. The first bend portion 111 is located on a first longitudinal edge of the first containing portion 1. The first zipper portion 112 is located on the other edge of the first containing portion 1. Correspondingly, the second fastening portion 21 includes a second bend portion 211 and a second zipper portion 212. The second bend portion 211 is located on a second longitudinal edge of the second containing portion 2 corresponding to the first longitudinal edge of the first containing portion 1. The second zipper portion 212 is located on the other edge of the second containing portion 2. Therefore, the first containing portion 1 and the second containing portion 2 can be foldable joined with simple construction and reliability. A lanyard may be located on a side of the joined portion of the first bend portion 111 and the second bend portion 211 for easy portability.
A buckle element 6 is located in the containing room 3 to buckle the wet tissue. The buckle element 6 includes two wrap portions 61 and at least two elastic fastening belts 62. The at least two elastic fastening belts 62 are located between and spaced by the two wraps portions 61. The two wrap portions 61 protrude from the second containing portion 2. An extracting opening 63 is defined between the two fastening belts 62. When being used, the wet tissue is located in the two wrap portions 61, and the fastening belts 62 buckle the wet tissue. A piece of wet paper can be extracted from the extracting opening. The elastic fastening belt 62 can be an elastic rope.
In an alternative embedment, the first fastening portion 11 and the second fastening portion 21 may be other fastener, such as a buttons, snaps, buckles, or any suitable joining fasteners.
