Definitions

• the invention relates to a packaging of toilet paper and has the essential objective of providing a packaging consisting of an individual dose which is easily transportable and which offers all the guarantees of hygiene.
• Another objective of the invention is to provide packaging making it possible to deliver, by means of an automatic dispenser, individual doses of toilet paper.
• Another object of the invention is to provide a packaging incorporating a body cleansing liquid.
• the invention relates to a packaging of toilet paper consisting of an individual dose comprising a strip of toilet paper wound on itself so as to form a winding having a section of maximum dimension at most equal to 45 mm, and an envelope containing said roller.
• Such packaging has the advantage of being very easily transportable because of reduced dimensions, while comprising a strip of toilet paper of a length that is largely sufficient.
• this packaging can be easily delivered by means of an automatic dispenser.
• this packaging offers all the guarantees of hygiene since it includes a protective envelope of toilet paper which ensures the non-contamination of the latter during its transport.
• this packaging eliminates any risk of soiling the toilet paper resulting, when using a roll of collective toilet paper, from handling by the user (s) ( s) previous.
• the roll of toilet paper forms a substantially cylindrical roll with a diameter at most equal at 30 mm.
• the toilet paper roll has a section of oblong shape of small thickness compared to its width, said width being at most equal to 45 mm.
• the envelope has a shape adapted to peripherally match the shape of the toilet paper roll.
• Such an envelope ensures the maintenance and one non-deformability of the toilet paper roll and makes it possible to obtain packaging of optimal dimensions, the oblong or cylindrical shape of which makes automatic dispensing very easy.
• the packaging includes a sealed pouch containing a body cleansing liquid.
• this pouch containing a cleaning liquid allows, without any noticeable increase in the dimensions of the packaging, to offer the user the possibility of washing their hands and / or of performing an anal wash after moistening the paper.
• Such a pouch therefore makes it possible to obtain everywhere the guarantee of perfect hygiene.
• the waterproof pouch is preferably placed inside said roll.
• the waterproof pouch constitutes a core around which can be easily rolled up the strip of toilet paper.
• this waterproof pouch being integrated inside the sheath that constitutes the roll of toilet paper, it is therefore protected against any risk of accidental opening. It should be noted, moreover, that in the event of an accidental opening of the waterproof pouch resulting for example from a manufacturing defect, the liquid would be absorbed by the toilet paper, this absorption guaranteeing against any risk of leakage.
• the pouch can on the other hand be preferably contiguous longitudinally to said winding along one of the large faces of the latter.
• such an oblong section winding has, for the same length of toilet paper strip, a thickness and therefore a size smaller than that of a cylindrical roller, which allow to have the sealed pouch outside said winding so as to make it visible to consumers, and this without significantly affecting the reduced dimensions of the packaging.
• the sealed pouch comprises an orifice of small section normally closed by a detachable portion formed integrally with said pouch but which can be separated from the latter to release the orifice.
• the packaging according to the invention preferably includes a towel.
• a towel has, in fact, the advantage of being able to be made of a material, such as advantageously non-woven cellulose wadding, better suited for wiping the hands and for being moistened for anal washing.
• FIG. 1 is a longitudinal section through a plane A of a first embodiment of a package according to the invention
• FIG. 2 is a cross section thereof through a plane B
• FIG. 3 is a perspective view of a second embodiment of a packaging according to the invention.
• FIG. 4 is a longitudinal view of a sealed pouch incorporating a packaging according to the invention.
• the toilet paper packaging shown in Figures 1 and 2 is in the form of a cylinder with a height of the order of 100 mm (current width of the strips of toilet paper) and a diameter substantially between 18 mm and 22 mm.
• This packaging integrates, firstly, an elongated waterproof pouch 1 of oblong section made of a flexible plastic film.
• This pouch 1 with a width of 8 to 10 mm contains a cleaning liquid such as sterilized water or a hypoallergenic lotion. Its dimensions make it possible to provide a quantity of liquid (approximately 4 ml to 7 ml) sufficient either to wash your hands or to carry out an anal washing.
• a cleaning liquid such as sterilized water or a hypoallergenic lotion. Its dimensions make it possible to provide a quantity of liquid (approximately 4 ml to 7 ml) sufficient either to wash your hands or to carry out an anal washing.
• the packaging comprises, in addition, a napkin 2 of non-woven cellulose wadding, directly wrapped around the waterproof pouch, intended either for wiping the hands, or for anal washing after moistening the latter.
• this towel 2 there is wound a strip of toilet paper 3 with a length which can vary substantially between 1100 mm and 1700 mm depending on the desired packaging diameter.
• this packaging includes an envelope 4 consisting of a plastic film ensuring the maintenance of the toilet paper roll, this envelope being provided with any system known per se for opening, such as for example an opening wire 5.
• the packaging shown in FIG. 3 comprises a strip of toilet paper 6 wound on itself so as to form an oblong section winding with a width of the order of 40 to 45 mm and a thickness of the order of 10 to 20 mm .
• This packaging comprises, in addition, a sealed pouch 7 having, seen in plan, a rectangular shape extended by a neck, arranged longitudinally against the winding 6 of toilet paper. As shown in Figure 4, this sealed pouch 7 comprises, towards its end opposite the neck, an oblique incision 8 delimiting a detachable tongue 9 formed integrally with said pouch and obstructing, before tearing off, a small section orifice liquid flow.
• this waterproof pouch 7 may contain a volume of liquid greater than that of the waterproof pouch 1 of the first embodiment, due to the small thickness of the toilet paper roll 6.
• a sealed pouch 7 can contain a quantity of liquid of the order of 12 ml without harming the reduced dimensions of the packaging.
• the waterproof pouch 1 of the first embodiment can advantageously have the same design as that described above.
• this packaging also includes a towel 10 folded so that have substantially the same size as the toilet paper winding 6, this towel 10 being disposed between said toilet paper winding and the waterproof pouch 7.
• this packaging also includes an envelope 11 ensuring the maintenance of the winding of toilet paper 6 and the waterproof pouch 7, this envelope being for example closed by heat welding at the right of each of its transverse edges.
• Such packaging easily transportable in a pocket, a bag ..., allows its owner to have correct hygiene, and this in any place even deprived of water points.
• Such individual packages are therefore specially designed for modern people, moving around a lot, concerned about their hygiene and well-being, and never wanting to be caught off guard.
• the formula of the three products corresponds, in fact, to all the requirements of the unexpected.
