Patent number: 9114903Abstract: A squeeze container includes a container body having flexibility, and a press restriction member that is provided inside the container body and that restricts, from inside the container body, deformation of the container body due to pressing of a side surface of the container body from outside thereof. A content liquid of the container is discharged by pressing the side surface of the container body from outside thereof. The squeeze container has, on the side surface of the container body, measurement scale markings arrayed in the vertical direction. The inner diameter of the container body within an arrayed range in which the measurement scale markings are arrayed in the vertical direction is formed to have a smaller diameter than an upper portion and/or a lower portion of the container body. Further, there is a corresponding relationship between a position, in the vertical direction, on the array of the measurement scale markings and a discharge amount when that position is pressed.Type: GrantFiled: June 5, 2009Date of Patent: August 25, 2015Assignee: Kao CorporationInventors: Mitsugu Iwatsubo, Michiaki Fujita

Patent number: 8833612Abstract: A container body (11) is provided with a squeeze operating portion (13a) between a shoulder portion (15) and a bottom portion (14), the squeeze operating portion including a squeeze face portion (16) opposed to a squeeze direction X, a pair of lateral support wall portions (17) arranged along the squeeze direction X at both side sections of the squeeze face portion (16), and inclined linking face portions (18) arranged as being inclined therebetween. When the squeeze face portion (16) is compressed to the squeeze direction x, the inclined linking face portions (18) expand distance between the pair of lateral support wall portions (17) at both sides as deforming along the squeeze face portion (16) from an inclined state against the squeeze face portion (16). The inclined linking face portions (18) are restricted so as not to be flipped in the squeeze direction (x) side after deformation completes as expansion force vanishes, so that constant quantity of content liquid is discharged.Type: GrantFiled: November 12, 2010Date of Patent: September 16, 2014Assignee: Kao CorporationInventors: Shinichi Inaba, Hiroshi Goto, Michiaki Fujita, Mitsugu Iwatsubo

Publication number: 20130319970Abstract: Provided is a package having a synthetic-resin stretch blow molded container (11) for storing a content containing a surfactant, a plug (18) attached to a mouth/neck part (15) of the stretch blow molded container (11), and an outer bag (12) for encasing the entire stretch blow molded container (11) with a space around the periphery of the container, wherein the package can be displayed with the container (11) standing unaided. The stretch blow molded container (11) is formed including a bottom part (14) having a standing arrangement part (13), a mouth/neck part (15), and a body part (16) between the bottom part (14) and the mouth/neck part (15), and a decoration is appended to the outer bag (12). Concerning the stretch blow molded container (11) and the outer bag (12), a value A (A=W/V2/3), which is obtained by dividing the resin amount W (g) by ? th power of the container capacity V (mL), is 0.13 to 0.25, and the capacity of the container (11) is 1000 mL or less.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 27, 2011Publication date: December 5, 2013Applicant: Kao CorporationInventors: Hirokatsu Sugawara, Motoaki Moriya, Shinichi Inaba, Michiaki Fujita

Publication number: 20120234868Abstract: In a cap (10) for a squeeze container to discharge content liquid from a top discharge opening (13) with squeeze deformation of a barrel section (12b) of a container body (12) to be used as being attached to a mouth neck section (12a) of the container body (12) made of plastic as being squeeze-deformable, at least a part of a liquid flow path from the mouth neck section (12a) of the container body (12) to the discharge opening (13) is formed as a helical flow path (15). The helical flow path (15) includes a bottom face section (15a) which is formed to have declination toward the barrel section (12b) of the container body (12) in an erected state of the squeeze container (11). The helical flow path (15) is formed by a helical tube (14) which is arranged inside the cap (10) for a squeeze container, for example.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 8, 2010Publication date: September 20, 2012Applicant: Kao CorporationInventors: Shinichi Inaba, Hiroshi Goto, Michiaki Fujita, Mitsugu Iwatsubo

Patent number: 6193416Abstract: A gusseted bag has inwardly-folded V-shaped folds at left and right opposing sidewalls of the bag and has sealed portions at vertical edges of the upper part of the bag. At this upper part of the bag, the distance between inside contours of the sealed portions set opposite one another in the horizontal direction is narrowed with respect to the body of the bag to form a non-sealed portion serving as a pour spout, and outside contours of the sealed portions forming the pour spout form an outer shape narrowed with respect to the body of the bag. The pour spout may be positioned eccentrically toward one side of the sidewalls. Thus, it may become possible to re-bottle the contents with ease and for sure even into narrow-necked bottle containers.Type: GrantFiled: March 29, 1999Date of Patent: February 27, 2001Assignee: Kao CorporationInventors: Shigeyuki Kawamata, Michiaki Fujita
