    Abstract: 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.

  • Publication number: 20110019945
    Abstract: 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.

  • Patent number: 6193416
    Abstract: 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.
