Publication number: 20240132253Abstract: The present invention provides a sheet material container being made of a sheet material and including a body portion and a bottom portion that is to be disposed on a placement surface, and the sheet material including a plurality of film layers. A body portion sheet that constitutes the body portion includes a bonding portion where peripheral edge portions of the sheet materials are bonded. In a bottom surface sheet that constitutes the bottom portion, a non-adhesive region is provided in the plurality of film layers. The non-adhesive region forms a bottom filler-filled portion. The bottom filler-filled portion extends annularly around a non-filled portion, and includes at least three protruding leg portions that are to be placed on the placement surface so as to allow the container to stand by itself. The protruding leg portions protrude toward the placement surface past other portions in the bottom filler-filled portion due a leg forming portion.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 11, 2023Publication date: April 25, 2024Applicant: Kao CorporationInventors: Yoshinori INAGAWA, Mitsugu IWATSUBO, Takahiro OTSUKA, Masahito CHIWAKI, Daisuke KODAMA

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: 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: 7044334Abstract: A double container including an outer container having flexibility and communicating with the outside air, and an inner bag holding contents, with a space defined between the outer container and inner bag. The contents include a component which generates gas by decomposition and a volatile component and the inner bag has permeability to decomposition gases evolved by the decomposing component of the contents. The decomposition gases evolved permeate through the inner bag without difficulty for easy discharge into the outside while the volatile gases evolved from the volatile components are allowed to stay in the space on the outer side of the inner bag, making it difficult for the newly evolved volatile gases to permeate through the inner bag, thereby limiting dispersion of the volatile gases and effectively suppressing deterioration of hairdye.Type: GrantFiled: February 27, 2001Date of Patent: May 16, 2006Assignee: Kao CorporationInventors: Nobuyuki Mita, Mitsugu Iwatsubo
