Benefits of technology

The present invention provides a liquid container that can efficiently pour out a liquid regardless of its properties. The container includes a pouch, a spout body, and a plug. The plug has a special shape that allows for easy filling and efficient pouring of the liquid. The pouch may have gussets and opposite sidewalls, and the plug may be made of a gas barrier synthetic resin or containing an oxygen absorbent. The plug is fitted in the spout body after filling the pouch with the liquid. The longitudinal through hole of the plug has a cross-sectional shape resembling a circle, a star, a polygon, or a plurality of separate circles. The liquid can be poured out through the special shape of the plug, and different liquids can be efficiently poured out of the container using different plugs with different shapes.

Problems solved by technology

Therefore, in some cases, viscous contents, such as mayonnaise or chocolate, cannot be easily poured out.
Manufacture and stock management of various liquid containers require considerable work.

Embodiment Construction

[0033] A liquid container in a preferred embodiment according to the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0034] Referring to FIG. 1, a liquid container 1 in a preferred embodiment according to the present invention has a container body 4 formed in the shape of a pouch and having gussets 2 that can be folded inward and opposite sidewalls 3, a spout body 5 attached to an open end of the container body 4, and a plug 7 fitted in the mouth 6 of the spout body 5 as shown in FIG. 2.

[0035] Referring to FIG. 3, the spout body 5 has a mouth 6, a joining part 8 and a conduit 9, which are formed integrally. The spout body 5 is made of a synthetic resin, such as a high-density polyethylene resin. An annular groove 10 is formed in the inside surface of a part of the mouth 6 of the spout body 5 near the open end of the mouth 6. The annular groove 10 is used for fixedly holding the plug 7 in the mouth 6. The conduit 9 of the spout body 5 is provided wit...

Abstract

A liquid container is capable of efficiently pouring out a liquid contained therein. The liquid container includes a pouch 4 having gussets 2 and opposite sidewalls 3, a spout body 5 having a mouth 6 and a joining part 8 fixed to an open end of the pouch 4, and a plug 7 provided with a longitudinal through hole of a special shape and fitted in the mouth 6 of the spout body 5. A recess 10 is formed in the inside surface of the mouth 6 (or the outside surface of the plug 7) and a protrusion 12 capable of engaging in the recess 10 is formed in the outside surface of the plug 7 (or the inside surface of the mouth 6.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0001] 1. Field of the Invention [0002] The present invention relates to a liquid container from which a substance contained therein can be efficiently taken out regardless of the property of the substance. [0003] 2. Description of the Related Art [0004] A liquid container for containing a beverage, such as a sports drink or orange juice, disclosed in, for example, Patent document 1 has a pouch made from a film, and a spout having a mouth and a joining part and fixed to an open end of the pouch. [0005] Liquid containers of this kind are light as compared with cans and bottles and can be easily opened. Therefore, liquid containers of this kind are used also as containers for containing other substances including noodle soups, sources for grilled meat, mayonnaise and chocolate. [0006] The liquid container is supposed to contain a beverage and the mouth of the spout is formed in a standard diameter suitable for pouring out a beverage. Therefore, in some case...
