  • Patent number: 7959045
    Abstract: A spout assembly for a packaging bag for improving the prevention of oxidation to an inner content and discharging such content at a desired amount. The spout assembly mounted to the bag body includes a spool to move along the axial direction of the spout assembly and an urging member having an outer peripheral surface fixed to the inner peripheral surface of the spout assembly and adapted to urge the spool toward the bag body side. A check valve allows the inner content to flow only from the bag body side toward the mouth portion side. The urging member has a seat surface for the spool and the urging member presses the spool against the seat surface to shut off the flow of the inner content, and when an inner pressure of the bag body or a suction force of the mouth reaches a predetermined value, the spool separates from the seat surface.

  • Publication number: 20100290723
    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.
