  • Patent number: 8506165
    Abstract: An easily openable packaging bag according to the present invention does not produce an opening piece resulting in a small piece of waste when opening, and facilitates opening even with a single hand. Furthermore the easily openable packaging bag of the present invention can be also applied to a packaging bag provided with barrier characteristics. The easily openable packaging bag joins both ends of a packaging material into a tube shape. Both of the joined ends are heat sealed to form a bonded rear portion in a rear portion of the tube portion and solid contents are contained in an inner section of the tube portion. A weakened portion is formed in a portion not occupied by the contents in the tube portion along a circumferential direction of the tube portion and the weakened portion is not provided in at least a portion of the bonded rear portion.

  • Publication number: 20130129949
    Abstract: Provided is a coextruded film including an adhesive layer, which is formed from a blend of a maleic anhydride modified polyolefin resin and a polyolefin resin, between a barrier layer that is formed from an ethylene vinyl alcohol copolymer, and a sealant layer that is formed from a polyolefin resin. When this adhesive layer is applied, it is possible to provide a coextruded film which has a sufficient barrier property due to the barrier layer formed from the ethylene vinyl alcohol copolymer, and in which surface gloss is satisfactory, and irregularities are suppressed, and thus the exterior appearance thereof is excellent.

  • Publication number: 20130106016
    Abstract: The method for attacking a thin cylindrical element to a mold core is a method for attaching a film-like thin cylindrical element, which is formed in a cylindrical shape having a constant cross-sectional shape, to an outer surface of a mold core in a manner so as to cover the mold core. The method includes pressing the thin cylindrical element onto a tip portion of the mold core; guiding the thin cylindrical element to the base end side of the mold core while ejecting gas into between the mold core and the thin cylindrical element; and attaching the thin cylindrical element to the outer surface of the mold core in a manner so as to cover the mold core.

  • Publication number: 20110147415
    Abstract: [Problems to be Solved]: In the case of the pour spout member of prior art in which an inner stopple provided within the tubular neck must be by a handgrip attached to the inner stopple must be pulled out to open the pour spout. With such arrangement, there is a problem that not only operation of opening the pour spout is troublesome but it is sanitarily apprehended that the user's hand might come in contact with the pour spout. In the case of the pour spout member of prior art in which the sealing is broken by rotating the cap, there is anxiety that the cap might be unintentionally rotated, for example, in the course of transit.
