Patent number: 8333509Abstract: A bag container including a synthetic-resin container body shaped by using a mold and including a spout-forming portion and a filling inlet portion that project outward therefrom. Contents are first filled through the filling inlet portion, and then fusion-bond sealing is applied to the filling inlet portion. The filling inlet portion has, at its sealing base portion, a square cross-sectional shape. A tip-end-side cross-section-changing portion and a cylindrical portion are provided on the tip-end side with respect to the sealing base portion. Four triangular panels each isosceles triangle shaped are connectedly provided on the side of the container body with respect to the sealing base portion along a circumferential direction of the filling inlet portion, a base of each isosceles triangle formed of one of sides of the square cross-sectional shape.Type: GrantFiled: May 18, 2009Date of Patent: December 18, 2012Assignees: Kao Corporation, Yoshino Kogyosho Co., Ltd.Inventors: Koichi Sagara, Shigeyuki Kawamata, Yoshinori Inagawa, Takao Kurosawa, Shigeo Kamata

Publication number: 20110019945Abstract: A bag container includes a synthetic-resin container body shaped by using a mold and including a body portion including a bottom portion and a spout-forming portion. A spout is formed by tearing an easy-to-tear portion of the spout-forming portion and removing a to-be-torn-off portion. The spout-forming portion is provided projecting upward, perpendicular to a placing surface formed by the bottom portion, from the body portion. An opening tab piece including an engagement hole with which the ball of a finger is to engage is provided projecting on one side of the spout-forming portion. The engagement hole has a shape that guides the finger such that, when the easy-to-tear portion is to be torn, the ball of the finger engages with a circumferential edge portion of the engagement hole from the inner side thereof while being oriented toward the circumferential direction centering about an end of the easy-to-tear portion.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 18, 2009Publication date: January 27, 2011Applicants: KAO CORPORATION, YOSHINO KOGYOSHO CO., LTD.Inventors: Koichi Sagara, Shigeyuki Kawamata, Yoshinori Inagawa, Susumu Fujinami, Takao Kurosawa, Shigeo Kamata

Patent number: 6994772Abstract: Disclosed is a method of producing a fiber-molded hollow article by using a papermaking mold (2) composed of splits (21, 22) which are joined to form a cavity (20) having two openings (20a, 20b) connecting with the outside and an expandable pressing member (3) adapted to be placed in the cavity (20). The method comprises the steps of immersing each of the splits (21, 22) before being joined in a fiber slurry to form a fiber preform (10a, 10b), joining the splits (21, 22) each having the fiber preform (10a, 10b) formed thereon while placing the pressing member (3) in the cavity (20), and molding and dewatering a molded article (1) in the papermaking mold (2).Type: GrantFiled: July 30, 2002Date of Patent: February 7, 2006Assignee: Kao CorporationInventors: Hiromichi Kimbara, Koichi Sagara, Masayuki Osaki, Tokuo Tsuura
