DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0010] Hereinafter, one embodiment of the present disclosure will be described in detail with reference to Fig. 1 etc. For ease of explanation, the bag container 10 and the holder 20 will be described first, and then the configuration, operation, etc. of the bag container with holder 1 including the container 10 and the holder 20 will be described.

[0011] (Bag container) FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram showing an example of a bag container 10 constituting a bag container with holder 1 according to one embodiment of the present disclosure. Reference numeral 101 in FIG. 1 indicates a front view of the bag container 10 as seen obliquely from above. Reference numeral 102 indicates a bottom view of the bag container 10. In FIG. 1, XYZ coordinates are shown. The X-axis indicates the width direction of the bag container 10. The Y-axis indicates the thickness direction of the bag container 10. The Z-axis indicates the height direction of the bag container 10. On the Z-axis, the direction of gravity is the downward direction, and the opposite direction is the upward direction. In the following description, a numerical range represented by "lower limit value XXX to upper limit value YYY" means not less than lower limit value XXX and not more than upper limit value YYY.

[0012] The bag container 10 is a soft packaging container that contains contents, such as cosmetics, detergent, shampoo, conditioner, medicine, or food. Fig. 1 shows the state in which the contents are contained in the bag container 10. The bag container 10 is made of sheet materials, and the sheet materials include a front sheet, a back sheet, a bottom sheet, and a top sheet. The bag container 10 is formed by joining the peripheral portions of these sheets together by heat sealing or the like. These sheet materials may be configured as a single sheet before being joined together.

[0013] The sheet material may be a multilayer film in which a heat-sealable sealant layer, which is the innermost layer, is laminated on a base film. These may be general films for soft packaging materials. Examples of the base film include stretched films made of polyester resins such as polyethylene terephthalate, polyamide resins such as nylon, and olefin resins such as polypropylene and polyethylene. Examples of the sealant layer include films made of linear low-density polyethylene, high-density polyethylene, ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer, and polypropylene resin, or extrusion laminate layers. In addition, the intermediate layer may be a laminate of a gas barrier layer such as an ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer, aluminum foil, or a transparent deposition film, or various reinforcing films. The bag container 10 is used by being housed in a holder 20 described later. Therefore, the base film and / or the sealant layer may be made of a so-called mono-material material made only of a relatively soft polyethylene resin or polypropylene resin, to facilitate recycling.

[0014] The bag container 10 comprises a body 11, a top gusset 12 and a bottom gusset 13 provided at the top and bottom of the body 11, and a spout 14 provided at the top gusset 12. The body 11 is mainly composed of a front sheet and a back sheet. The top gusset 12 is composed of a top sheet. The bottom gusset 13 is composed of a bottom sheet.

[0015] The bag container 10 also has an upper collar 15 extending upward from the outer edge of the body 11, and a lower collar 16 extending downward from the outer edge of the body 11. The upper collar 15 is a joint between the front sheet, back sheet and top sheet that constitute the body 11. The seal width of the joint that forms the upper collar 15 (corresponding to the height of the upper collar 15) may be 3 mm to 10 mm at a position corresponding to a flap 22 of the holder 20 described below.

[0016] The lower collar portion 16 is a joint between the front sheet, the back sheet and the bottom sheet that constitute the body portion 11. The seal width of the joint that forms the lower collar portion 16 may be 3 mm to 10 mm at the central portion. The bag container 10 does not have to have the upper collar portion 15 and / or the lower collar portion 16, but hereinafter, the bag container 10 will be described as having the upper collar portion 15 and the lower collar portion 16.

[0017] The bag container 10 also has a side seal portion 18. The side seal portion 18 is a joint between the front sheet and the back sheet that constitute the body portion 11. The seal width of the joint that forms the side seal portion 18 may be 3 mm to 10 mm.

[0018] The spout 14 is located at the top gusset 12. The spout 14 may be a resin molded product such as a polyethylene resin or a polypropylene resin, or may be formed from other materials. The spout 14 may have a shape to which a dispenser such as a nozzle or a pump can be attached. A cap 17 may be detachably attached to the spout 14. The spout 14 will be described again with reference to Figs. 5 and 6.

[0019] An example of the bag container 10 is shown in FIG. 1, but the shape, material, and / or length in the XYZ directions may be appropriately changed depending on the contents, etc.

[0020] (holder) Next, the holder 20 that holds the bag container 10 will be described with reference to Fig. 2. Fig. 2 is a diagram showing a specific example of the holder 20 constituting the bag container with holder 1 according to one embodiment of the present disclosure. Reference numeral 201 in Fig. 2 indicates a perspective view of a holder 20A, which is one example of the holder 20. Reference numeral 202 in Fig. 2 indicates a perspective view of a holder 20B, which is another example of the holder 20.

[0021] 2, XYZ coordinates are shown. The X-axis indicates the width direction of the holder 20A (20B). The Y-axis indicates the thickness direction of the holder 20A (20B). The Z-axis indicates the height direction of the holder 20A (20B). On the Z-axis, the direction of gravity is the downward direction, and the opposite direction is the upward direction.

[0022] With reference to the diagram indicated by reference numeral 201 in FIG. 2, the holder 20A includes a cylindrical main body 21A that accommodates the bag container 10, and a flap 22 that is provided on an upper opening edge 25a of the main body 21A and is bent along the upper opening edge 25a. The flap 22 is provided on the upper opening edge 25a of the main body 21A and is configured to be bent along the upper opening edge 25a. When the flap 22 is bent at an acute angle along the upper opening edge 25a, the flap 22 supports the spout 14 of the bag container 10 (not shown) accommodated in the main body 21A with the flap 22 abutting the spout 14 (details will be described later). The holder 20A also includes a bottom surface 26 that is provided on a lower opening edge 25b of the main body 21A and on which the lower end of the lower collar portion 16 (not shown) of the bag container 10 can be placed. In the example of FIG. 2, the bottom surface 26 is composed of a bottom surface 26a and a bottom surface 26b.

[0023] The holder 20A has a cylindrical main body 21A. The main body 21A may be integrally formed from a thin plate-like material (sheet material). The main body 21A may be, for example, a thin plate-like sheet material made of synthetic resin, a thin plate-like sheet material made of paper, plastic cardboard, or the like. The thin plate-like sheet material made of synthetic resin may be a polyester such as polyethylene terephthalate, a polyolefin such as polypropylene, a polystyrene resin, polyvinyl chloride, or the like having a thickness of 0.2 mm to 1.0 mm, and may be a transparent, semi-transparent, white, or colored sheet. The thin plate-like sheet material made of paper may be a paperboard (e.g., card A, card B, etc.), coated cardboard, or the like having a basis weight of 260 g / m2 to 450 g / m2. The sheet material may be marked or decorated by printing, metal foil transfer, or the like, and in the case of opaque paper, a cutout hole may be provided in a part of the sheet material so that the bag container contained therein can be visually recognized.

[0024] The main body 21A may be formed from a single sheet material. An example of this will be described with reference to Fig. 3. Fig. 3 is a diagram showing an example of the developed configuration of the holder 20A indicated by reference numeral 201 in Fig. 2.

[0025] 3, as an example, holder 20A is formed from a single sheet material. Holder 20A has side surfaces SF1 to SF5 that are connected in the X-axis direction in Fig. 3 and constitute a plurality of side surfaces of main body 21A. Holder 20A has side surfaces SF1 to SF5 that are joined together to form cylindrical main body 21A. Side surfaces SF1 and SF5 are bonded to each other to form holder 20A.

[0026] 3. Side SF2 is connected to bottom surface 26b at its lower end in the Z-axis direction. Side SF4 is connected to bottom surface 26a at its lower end in the Z-axis direction. Bottom surface 26b has fold line 26bk extending in the X-axis direction, and the bottom side of fold line 26bk in the Z-axis direction is bonded to bottom surface 26a.

[0027] The side surface SF2 may have a fold line indicated by the dashed line L1 and / or dashed line L2. When the side surface SF2 has the fold lines indicated by the dashed line L1 and dashed line L2, the cross section of the main body 21A cut on the XY plane is hexagonal (see reference numeral 201 in FIG. 2). When the side surface SF2 does not have the fold lines indicated by the dashed line L1 and dashed line L2, the cross section of the main body 21A cut on the XY plane is not hexagonal, and the side surface corresponding to the side surface SF2 is a curved surface. Such a shape in which the cross section is hexagonal or the side surface corresponding to the side surface SF2 is a curved surface is preferable because it makes it easier to store the bag container 10 by folding the side seal portion 18 of the bag container 10 to the front side or back side to reduce the gap (see FIG. 5 and FIG. 6), and makes it easier to hold the body portion (side portion) of the holder 20 by hand in the stored state. The fold lines formed at each folding position formed on the sheet material of the holder 20 may be folding lines such as pressed creases, perforation creases, and half-cut creases.

[0028] Thus, the holder 20 according to the present disclosure can be realized in a variety of shapes.

[0029] 2, the flap 22 has a cutout 23 corresponding to the shape of the spout 14. The cutout 23 has a claw 24 provided on an inner edge 23a of the cutout 23 and bent along the inner edge 23a. Here, "bent along the inner edge 23a" means that the flap 22 is bent at the inner edge 23a, or bent parallel or non-parallel to the inner edge 23a at a position 0.5 mm to 2 mm in from the inner edge 23a toward the claw 24.

[0030] Cutout portion 23 has an inner edge 23a that is curved or bent into a semicircular or U-shape, etc., to correspond to the shape of spout 14, which has a circular outer edge shape in cross section. When spout 14 has a rectangular outer edge shape in cross section, inner edge 23a of cutout portion 23 may have a shape such as a rectangle that corresponds to the rectangular shape of spout 14. In this way, cutout portion 23 may have various shapes that correspond to the shape of spout 14.

[0031] 2, two claw portions 24 are provided. The claw portions 24 are provided on one end side and the other end side of the curved inner edge 23a of the cutout portion 23. The distance between the tips of the two claw portions 24 before the claw portions 24 are bent is smaller than the distance between the contact positions of the claw portions 24 and the spout 14 on the outer periphery of the spout 14. Therefore, the claw portions 24 are bent when the flap 22 abuts against the spout 14, and the tips of the claw portions 24 support the spout 14.

[0032] Claw portion 24 does not necessarily have to be provided near one end and the other end of inner edge 23a of cutout portion 23. Claw portion 24 may be provided at an appropriate position on inner edge 23a of cutout portion 23 so as to support spout 14 when flap 22 abuts against spout 14.

[0033] Cutout portion 23 may not have claw portion 24 as long as it can support spout 14 when flap 22 abuts against spout 14. Alternatively, cutout portion 23 may have one or three or more claw portions 24 as long as it can support spout 14 when flap 22 abuts against spout 14. An example of this will be described later with reference to FIG.

[0034] As shown by reference numeral 201 in Fig. 2, the holder 20A has a bottom surface 26 at the lower opening edge 25b of the main body 21A. The bottom surface 26 is configured so that the lower end of the lower collar portion 16 of the bag container 10 can be placed thereon (details will be described later). The bottom surface 26 is composed of a bottom surface 26a and a bottom surface 26b. The bottom surface 26b has a fold line 26bk, and the tip side of the bottom surface 26bk is bonded to the bottom surface 26a. The bottom surface 26 will be described later with reference to Fig. 7. Note that the holder according to the present disclosure does not necessarily have to have a bottom surface.

[0035] The holder 20B indicated by reference numeral 202 in Fig. 2 includes a main body 21B having a rectangular cross section cut along the XY plane. Except for the shape of the main body, the holder 20B may have the same configuration as the holder 20A indicated by reference numeral 201 in Fig. 2. Therefore, a detailed description of the holder 20B will be omitted.

[0036] The holder 20 according to the present disclosure may be realized in various configurations, such as a hexagon, a rectangle, a circle, an ellipse, or a polygon, in the cross section of the cylindrical body. The holder 20 preferably has a shape with a polygonal cross section (for example, a hexagonal cross section with folds by the broken lines L1 and L2) or a shape with a curved surface on one side (a shape without the broken lines L1 and L2, so that only the side surface SF2 is a curved surface). In addition, the holder 20 preferably has a flap on the non-curved surface. This allows the side seal portion 18 of the bag container 10 to be folded to the front side or the back side to reduce the gap and make it easier to store the bag container 10, and makes it easier to grip the holder body (side surface portion) with the hand when the bag container 10 is stored.

[0037] The above describes the bag container 10 and the holder 20. Next, the bag container with holder 1, which includes the bag container 10 and the holder 20, will be described with reference to FIG.

[0038] (Container with holder) Fig. 4 is a diagram showing the configuration of a bag container with holder 1 according to one embodiment of the present disclosure, and shows the bag container with holder 1 before the flap 22 is folded. Reference numeral 401 in Fig. 4 shows the case where holder 20A is used. Reference numeral 402 in Fig. 4 shows the case where holder 20B is used.

[0039] With reference to the diagram indicated by reference numeral 401 in Fig. 4, the bag container with holder 1 includes a bag container 10 and a holder 20A, and the bag container 10 is accommodated in the holder 20A. The bag container 10 is inserted into the inside of the main body 21A from the upper opening edge 25a side of the holder 20A before the flap 22 is folded. For example, the bag container 10 is pushed into the inside of the main body 21A until the lower end of the lower collar portion 16 abuts against the bottom surface 26.

[0040] 4, the bag container with holder 1 includes a bag container 10 and a holder 20B, and the bag container 10 is accommodated in the holder 20B. The other configuration may be the same as the configuration described with reference to the reference 401, and therefore other explanations will be omitted.

[0041] (Example of the upper part of the container with holder) Next, the configuration and operation of the upper part of the holder-equipped bag container 1 will be described with reference to Fig. 5 and Fig. 6. Fig. 5 is a diagram showing an example of the configuration of the upper part of the holder-equipped bag container 1 when the flap 22 is not folded. Fig. 6 is a diagram showing an example of the configuration of the upper part of the holder-equipped bag container 1 when the flap 22 is folded.

[0042] The diagrams indicated by reference numeral 501 in Fig. 5 and reference numeral 601 in Fig. 6 are top views of the bag container with holder 1. The diagrams indicated by reference numeral 502 in Fig. 5 and reference numeral 602 in Fig. 6 are front views (partially cross-sectional views) of the bag container with holder 1. The diagrams indicated by reference numeral 503 in Fig. 5 and reference numeral 603 in Fig. 6 are side views (partially cross-sectional views) of the bag container with holder 1.

[0043] (Spout) First, the spout 14 will be described. As shown in Figures 5 and 6, the spout 14 is located in the top gusset 12. The spout 14 communicates with the internal space of the body 11 and functions as a discharge part for discharging the contents stored in the internal space to the outside. A cap 17 that prevents the contents of the bag container 10 from leaking to the outside is removably attached to the spout 14.

[0044] The spout 14 includes a first flange 14A, a second flange 14B, a nozzle 14C, and a base flange 14D. The first flange 14A, the second flange 14B, the nozzle 14C, and the base flange 14D may be integrally formed by injection molding or the like.

[0045] The first flange 14A and the second flange 14B are formed in an annular shape on the outer wall surface of a cylindrical nozzle C that pours out the contents of the bag container 10. The first flange 14A and the second flange 14B extend from the outer wall surface of the nozzle 14C toward the outside in the radial direction of the nozzle 14C. The first flange 14A and the second flange 14B are provided to support the bag container 10 during transportation or positioning, for example, during the production of the bag container 10 or the process of filling the bag container 10 with contents. The first flange 14A and the second flange 14B have a thickness of, for example, about 1 mm to 2 mm.

[0046] The first flange 14A is located above the second flange 14B. When the cap 17 is attached to the nozzle C, the upper surface of the first flange 14A and the lower end of the cap 17 may closely abut against each other.

[0047] The spout 14 may have only one of the first flange 14A and the second flange 14B. In the following description, the spout 14 will be described as having the first flange 14A and the second flange 14B, and being supported by the flap 22 on the lower surface of the second flange 14B.

[0048] The base flange 14D extends from the lower end of the nozzle C toward the outside in the radial direction of the nozzle 14C. In the illustrated example, the base flange 14D is circular when viewed from above, but may be other shapes such as rectangular, polygonal, or elliptical. The base flange 14D may be designed to be thinner than other portions so as to be flexible. As an example, the base flange 14D has a thickness of about 0.3 mm to 1.2 mm.

[0049] The base flange 14D is joined to the bag container 10 at the periphery of the opening formed in the top gusset 12 of the bag container 10. The base flange 14D and the top gusset 12 may be joined by heat sealing, ultrasonic sealing, adhesive, or the like. The base flange 14D may be joined to the bag container 10 on either the upper surface or the lower surface of the base flange 14D.

[0050] In the diagram indicated by the reference numeral 503 in FIG. 5, T1 and T2 are shown. T1 indicates the length from the upper surface of the base flange 14D (or the top sheet joined to the upper surface of the base flange 14D) to the upper end of the upper collar portion 15. T2 indicates the length from the upper surface of the base flange 14D (or the top sheet joined to the upper surface of the base flange 14D) to the lower surface of the second flange 14B. In this case, T1>T2. T1 may be 3.0 mm to 10.0 mm, and the dimensional difference with T2 may be 1.0 mm or more, and is particularly preferably 2.0 mm or more. In other words, in the bag container with holder 1, the (lower surface of) the second flange 14B is provided at a position lower than the upper end of the upper collar portion 15.

[0051] When the spout 14 is supported by the flap 22 at the underside of the first flange 14A, (the underside of) the first flange 14A is provided at a position lower than the upper end of the upper collar portion 15. When the spout 14 has only one of the first flange 14A and the second flange 14B, (the underside of) that one flange is provided at a position lower than the upper end of the upper collar portion 15. When the bag container 10 does not have an upper collar portion 15, (the underside of) the first flange 14A is provided at a position lower than the folding position of the flap 22.

[0052] (flap) Next, the configuration and operation of the flap 22 will be described. Referring to the diagram indicated by reference numeral 501 in FIG. 5, the flap 22 is provided on the upper opening edge 25a so that one side 22S constituting the outer edge of the flap 22 constitutes at least a part of one side of the upper opening edge 25a. The diagram indicated by reference numeral 503 in FIG. 5 includes an M. The M indicates that the flap 22 is folded, and the flap 22 is folded at an acute angle along a crease line provided along the upper opening edge 25a. The acute angle refers to the angle between the flap 22 and the standing direction (Z-axis direction) of the holder 20A, and the angle on the side where the upper collar part 15 is located (angle θ1 indicated by reference numeral 603 in FIG. 6) is less than 90 degrees.

[0053] Here, the height of the bag container 10 is defined as the height from the upper end of the upper collar 15 to the lower end of the lower collar 16 at a position corresponding to the flap 22 of the holder 20 when the upper collar 15 and the lower collar 16 of the bag container 10 are in a vertically standing state. In this case, the holder 20 may be configured such that the height from the upper opening edge 25a where the flap 22 is provided to the lower end of the main body 21A is 1 mm to 2 mm higher than the height of the bag container 10. With this configuration, the holder 20 can cover the entire bag container 10 (up to the upper end of the upper collar 15) when the bag container 10 is accommodated in the main body 21A and the flap 22 is folded. In addition, the holder 20 can easily fold the flap 22 by providing a folding position for the flap 22 at or near the upper opening edge 25a.

[0054] The position at which the flap 22 is folded may be 1 mm or more above the upper end of the upper collar 15, for example, 1.0 mm to 10.0 mm above. Therefore, "folded along the upper opening edge 25a" may include folding at the upper opening edge 25a, as well as folding 1 mm or more above the upper end of the upper collar 15, parallel or non-parallel to the upper opening edge 25a.

[0055] 5, the flap 22 has a fold line 22K that divides the flap 22 into a first region A1 and a second region A2. When the flap 22 is folded along the upper opening edge 25a, the first region A1 is located on the upper collar portion 15 side, and the second region A2 is located on the spout 14 side.

[0056] Next, the operation of folding the flap 22 at an acute angle along the upper opening edge 25a and supporting the spout 14 with the cutout portion 23 abutting against the spout 14 of the bag container 10 contained in the main body 21A will be described.

[0057] 5, when the bag container 10 is housed in the main body 21A, the flap 22 faces upward in the Z-axis direction and is not in contact with the spout 14. At this time, the flap 22, including the two claw portions 24, is flush (approximately flush).

[0058] Next, when the flap 22 is folded toward the spout 14 after the bag container 10 is housed in the main body 21A, the claw portion 24 comes into contact with the cap 17 and / or the spout 14. As a result, the claw portion 24 is folded so as to face upward along the Z axis. When the flap 22 is further pushed downward along the Z axis by hand or a pushing tool, the claw portion 24 reaches the lower surface of the second flange 14B while facing upward along the Z axis. At that point, the pushing of the flap 22 downward along the Z axis is completed. At this time, the distance between the tips of the two claw portions 24 before being folded is smaller than the distance between the contact positions of the claw portions 24 and the spout 14 on the outer periphery of the spout 14. Therefore, the claw portion 24 supports the lower surface of the second flange 14B and the outer periphery of the nozzle 14C while facing upward along the Z axis (see FIG. 6).

[0059] At this time, referring to the diagram indicated by reference numeral 603 in Fig. 6, the flap 22 is folded at the fold line 22K. Specifically, the first region A1 located on the upper collar 15 side forms an angle θ1 with the direction in which the upper collar 15 extends (the Z-axis direction). The second region A2 located on the spout 14 side forms an angle θ2 with the direction in which the upper collar 15 extends (the Z-axis direction). The angle θ1 is smaller than the angle θ2.

[0060] The state in which the flap 22 is folded at the crease line 22K can also be explained as follows. Positions 23P and S1 are shown in the diagram indicated by reference numeral 501 in FIG. 5. Position 23P indicates the lowest point of the curved inner edge 23a of the cutout portion 23. S1 indicates the length from position 23P to side 22S (the folding position of the flap 22) when the flap 22 is not folded. Moreover, S2 is shown in the diagram indicated by reference numeral 601 in FIG. 6. S2 indicates the length from position 23P to side 22S (the folding position of the flap 22) in a top view when the flap 22 is folded and abuts against the spout 14 to support the spout 14. When S1>S2, it can be said that the flap 22 is folded at the crease line 22K.

[0061] By having the fold line 22K, the angle θ1 can be made small, and the effect described below can be easily obtained. However, the flap 22 does not have to have the fold line 22K, and as an example, the flap 22 can be curved downward in a convex shape so that S1>S2, and abut against and support the spout 14 (see FIG. 8).

[0062] According to the above configuration, in the bag container with holder 1, the holder 20 can be attached to the bag container 10 by the simple action of abutting the notch 23 of the flap 22 against the spout 14. At this time, the flap 22 is bent at an acute angle along the upper opening edge 25a. This makes it difficult for the bag container 10 to move upward, which also has the effect of making it difficult for the bag container 10 to come off the holder 20.

[0063] Furthermore, by providing fold line 22K on flap 22 and making the angle θ1 smaller than angle θ2, it is possible to make it difficult for bag container 10 attached to holder 20 to move upward, and to make it difficult for bag container 10 to come off holder 20. As a result, in bag container with holder 1 according to the present disclosure, holder 20 can more stably support bag container 10.

[0064] The flap 22 may be bent so as to abut against the side surface of the upper collar 15, that is, so that the angle θ1 approaches 0 (zero). This configuration further makes it difficult for the bag container 10 held in the holder 20 to move upward, and further enhances the effect of making it difficult for the bag container 10 to come off the holder 20.

[0065] In addition, even if the upper end of the upper collar portion 15 and the lower surface of the second flange 14B are at the same height in the Z-axis direction, if the flap 22 has the claw portion 24, the tip position of the flap 22 will be lowered by the amount that the claw portion 24 is directed upward in the Z-axis direction, and the angle θ1 will be an acute angle. Therefore, the bag container 10 will be less likely to move upward, and the bag container 10 will be less likely to fall out of the holder 20. A protruding piece for displaying a promotional product or a hanging piece having a hanging hole for hanging a product may be provided on a portion of the upper opening edge 25a of the holder 20 where the flap 22 is not provided. These protruding pieces and hanging pieces may be provided with a cut line so that they can be removed when the product is used.

[0066] (Example of the configuration of the lower part of a bag container with holder) Next, a configuration example of the lower part of the bag container with holder 1 will be described with reference to Fig. 7. Fig. 7 is a diagram showing a configuration example of the lower part of the bag container with holder 1. Reference numeral 701 in Fig. 7 indicates a bottom view of the bag container with holder 1. Reference numeral 702 in Fig. 7 indicates a front view (partially cross-sectional view) of the lower part of the bag container with holder 1. Reference numeral 703 in Fig. 7 indicates a side view (partially cross-sectional view) of the lower part of the bag container with holder 1.

[0067] The holder 20A has a bottom surface 26 provided on the lower opening edge 25b of the main body 21A, on which the lower end of the lower collar portion 16 of the bag container 10 can be placed. The bottom surface 26 is composed of a bottom surface 26a and a bottom surface 26b.

[0068] 7, bottom surface 26b has fold line 26bk, and the tip side of fold line 26bk is bonded to bottom surface 26a. Bottom surface 26 is oriented in the direction of space S formed by bottom gusset 13 and lower collar portion 16, and bonded tip portion 26c abuts bottom gusset 13. Bottom surfaces 26a and 26b are rectangular, and the width in the X-axis direction fits within space S.

[0069] According to the above configuration, when the contents in the bag container 10 with holder are reduced, the tip 26c of the bottom surface 26 fits inside the space S with the tip 26c abutting near one of the lower collar parts 16 of the bottom gusset 13, making it difficult for the gap between the front sheet and the back sheet of the body 11 to narrow. This prevents the space S from shrinking, and the bag container 1 with holder can improve its self-supporting ability regardless of the amount of contents in the bag container 10.

[0070] The holder-equipped bag container 1 may have a bottom surface with a shape different from that shown in FIG.

[0071] (Variation 1) Next, a modified example of the bag container with holder according to the present disclosure will be described with reference to Fig. 8. Fig. 8 is a diagram showing an example of the configuration of the upper part of the bag container with holder 80 according to the present disclosure. Reference numeral 801 in Fig. 8 indicates a top view of the bag container with holder 80 before the flap 82 is folded. Reference numeral 802 in Fig. 8 indicates a side view (partial cross-sectional view) of the upper part of the bag container with holder 80. The following description will focus on the flap 82, which is a difference between the bag container with holder 1 and the bag container with holder 80.

[0072] The flap 82 of the bag container with holder 80 has a notch portion 83 and two claw portions 84. The flap 22 of the bag container with holder 1 has a fold line 22K (see FIG. 5), whereas the flap 82 of the bag container with holder 80 does not have a fold line.

[0073] 8, the flap 82 does not have a fold line, but is bent at an acute angle toward the bag container 10 along the upper opening edge 25a, and the claw portion 84 can support the underside of the second flange 14B. Therefore, the bag container with holder 80 makes it difficult for the bag container 10 to move upward, and therefore makes it difficult for the bag container 10 to come off the holder 20. Explaining using S1 and S2 described with reference to Figs. 5 and 6, it is preferable that the flap 82 of the bag container with holder 80 bends downward in a convex shape so that S1>S2, and abuts against and supports the spout 14.

[0074] (Variation 2) Next, another modified example of the bag container with holder according to the present disclosure will be described with reference to Fig. 9. Fig. 9 is a diagram showing an example of the configuration of the upper part of the bag container with holder 90 according to the present disclosure. Reference numeral 901 in Fig. 9 indicates a top view of the bag container with holder 90 before the flap 92 is folded. Reference numeral 902 in Fig. 9 indicates a side view (partial cross-sectional view) of the upper part of the bag container with holder 90. The following description will focus on the flap 92, which is a difference between the bag container with holder 1 and the bag container with holder 90.

[0075] The flap 92 of the bag container with holder 90 has a notch 93 and four claws 94, and the number of claws is different from that of the flap 22 of the bag container with holder 1. When the flap 92 is bent at an acute angle along the upper opening edge 25a, the claws 94 come into contact with the cap 17 and / or the spout 14. As a result, the claws 94 are bent so as to face upward along the Z axis. When the flap 92 is further pressed downward along the Z axis by hand or a pressing tool, the claws 94 reach the lower surface of the second flange 14B while facing upward along the Z axis. At that point, the pressing of the flap 92 downward along the Z axis is completed. At this time, the distance between the tips of the two claws 94 before being folded is smaller than the distance between the contact positions of the claws 94 and the spout 14 on the outer periphery of the spout 14. Therefore, the claw portions 94 support the lower surface of the second flange 14B and the outer circumferential surface of the nozzle 14C while facing upward in the Z axis direction (see reference numeral 902 in FIG. 9).

[0076] According to the above configuration, the bag container with holder 90 can achieve the same effects as the above-mentioned bag container with holder 1. Although Fig. 9 illustrates a configuration in which the flap has four claw portions, in the bag container with holder according to the present disclosure, the number of claw portions can be changed to an appropriate number such as three or five.

[0077] The bending line of the claw portion may be formed along the arc forming the cutout of the flap, or may be formed linearly approximately along the arc, and is not limited to these configurations. The bending line of the claw portion may be formed in a position and / or direction that allows it to easily pass through the flange of the spout. The arc forming the cutout of the claw portion is not limited to a semicircle, and may be formed in a shape larger (for example, 60% to 70% of the circumference) or smaller than a semicircle, and may be U-shaped instead of an arc.

[0078] (Variation 3) Next, another modified example of the bag container with holder according to the present disclosure will be described with reference to Fig. 10. Fig. 10 is a diagram showing a configuration example of the flap 102 of the bag container with holder 100 according to the present disclosure. The following description will focus on the flap 102, which is a difference between the bag container with holder 1 and the bag container with holder 100.

[0079] As shown in FIG. 10, the flap 102 is composed of a first flap 102A and a second flap 102B connected to the first flap 102A via two fold lines 100K.

[0080] The first flap 102A is provided on the upper opening edge 25a of the main body 21A and is configured to be bendable along the upper opening edge 25a. The first flap 102A has a cutout portion 103 corresponding to the shape of the spout 14 (not shown). The cutout portion 103 has two claw portions 104 provided on the inner edge 103a of the cutout portion 103 and bendable along the inner edge 103a. The first flap 102A has a fold line 102K and has a first region A1 and a second region A2. The first flap 102A may have the same shape as the flap 22 of the bag container with holder 1.

[0081] The second flap 102B is connected to the first flap 102A via two fold lines 100K and is configured to be foldable along the fold lines 100K. The second flap 102B has a notch 105 that corresponds to the shape of the spout 14 (not shown). When the second flap 102B is folded along the fold lines 100K, the notch 103 of the first flap 102A and the notch 105 of the second flap 102B are formed such that the inner edges 103a and 105a of each flap 102A and 105a of the second flap 102B approximately overlap each other.

[0082] In the bag container with holder 100, the flap 102 is used as follows. After the bag container 10 is accommodated in the holder 20A, the second flap 102B is folded along the crease line 102K. Next, in this state, the flap 102 is folded toward the spout 14. The claw portion 104 comes into contact with the cap 17 (not shown) and / or the spout 14 (not shown). As a result, the claw portion 104 is folded so as to face upward along the Z axis. When the flap 102 is further pushed downward along the Z axis by hand or a pushing tool, the claw portion 104 reaches the lower surface of the second flange 14B (not shown) while facing upward along the Z axis. At that point, the pushing of the flap 102 downward along the Z axis is completed. At this time, the distance between the tips of the two claw portions 104 before being folded is smaller than the distance between the contact positions of the claw portion 104 and the spout 14 on the outer periphery of the spout 14. Therefore, the claw portions 104 support the lower surface of the second flange 14B and the outer circumferential surface of the nozzle 14C while facing upward in the Z axis direction.

[0083] According to the above configuration, in the bag container with holder 100, the flap 102 is used by overlapping the first flap 102A and the second flap 102B. As a result, the flap 102 holds the spout 14 with the two overlapping flaps, and the holding force of the spout 14 can be increased.

[0084] When the second flap 102B is folded along the fold line 102K, the tip of the second flap 102B extends to the vicinity of the fold line 102K, preferably to the vicinity of the upper collar portion 15. This provides the effect that the bag-container with holder 100 can make it even more difficult for the bag-container 10 to come off the holder 20.

[0085] 〔summary〕 A bag container with holder according to aspect 1 of the present disclosure is a bag container with holder comprising a bag container and a holder that supports the bag container, wherein the bag container comprises a body, top and bottom gussets provided at the upper and lower parts of the body, and a spout provided in the top gusset, and the holder comprises a tubular main body that accommodates the bag container, and a flap provided at the upper opening edge of the main body and folded along the upper opening edge, the flap having a notch corresponding to the shape of the spout, the flap being folded at an acute angle relative to the main body along the upper opening edge and supporting the spout with the notch abutting the spout of the bag container accommodated in the main body.

[0086] According to the above configuration, the bag with holder according to the first aspect can be attached to the bag by a simple action of supporting the spout in the notch of the flap. At this time, the flap is bent at an acute angle along the upper opening edge. This makes it difficult for the bag to move upward, and also has the effect of making it difficult for the bag to come off the holder.

[0087] A bag container with holder according to aspect 2 of the present disclosure is, in aspect 1, the bag container has an upper collar portion extending upward from the outer edge of the body portion, the spout has a flange on the outer periphery of a nozzle for pouring the contents of the bag container, the flange is provided at a position lower than the upper end of the upper collar portion, and the flap supports the spout on the underside of the flange.

[0088] According to the above configuration, in the bag with holder according to aspect 2, the flap is bent at an acute angle from the upper collar along the upper opening edge. Specifically, the flap supports the spout on the underside of the flange located lower than the upper end of the upper collar. This makes it difficult for the bag to move upward, and therefore makes it difficult for the bag to come off the holder.

[0089] A bag container with holder according to aspect 3 of the present disclosure is, in aspect 1 or 2, such that the flap has a fold line dividing the flap into a first region and a second region, and when the flap is folded along the upper opening edge, the first region is located on the upper collar side and the second region is located on the spout side, and the angle of the first region relative to the extension direction of the upper collar is smaller than that of the second region.

[0090] According to the above configuration, in the bag container with holder according to aspect 3, the bag container is more unlikely to move upward and is less likely to come off the holder. This allows the holder to more stably support the bag container in the bag container with holder according to aspect 3.

[0091] The bag container with holder according to aspect 4 of the present disclosure is any one of aspects 1 to 3, wherein the cutout portion has a claw portion provided on the inner edge of the cutout portion and bent along the inner edge, and the claw portion supports the spout on the underside of the flange in the folded state.

[0092] According to the above configuration, in the bag container with holder according to the fourth aspect, when the flap is folded to bring the notch into contact with the spout, the claw portion bends upward by contacting the bag container (such as a flange) and easily passes under the flange. After that, the claw portion supports the inside under the flange with the bent tip.

[0093] As described above, the bag container with holder according to aspect 4 makes it difficult for the bag container to come off the holder, and the bag container can be stably supported by the claw portions.

[0094] A bag container with holder according to aspect 5 of the present disclosure is any of aspects 1 to 4, wherein the bag container has a lower collar extending downward from the outer edge of the body, and the holder has a bottom surface provided on the lower opening edge of the main body on which the lower end of the lower collar can be placed, the bottom surface being oriented in the direction of the space formed by the bottom gusset and the lower collar and abutting the bottom gusset.

[0095] Generally, when the contents of a bag decrease, the central fold of the bottom gusset bends, narrowing the gap between the front sheet and the back sheet of the body, causing the bottom of the bag to lose its ability to stand up on its own.

[0096] In contrast, the bag container with holder according to the fifth aspect has a bottom surface on which the lower end of the lower collar can be placed. Furthermore, the bottom surface is oriented in the direction of the space formed by the bottom gusset and the lower collar, and abuts against the bottom gusset.

[0097] This makes it possible for the bag with holder according to aspect 5 to prevent the gap between the front sheet and the back sheet of the body from narrowing even when the contents are reduced. As a result, in the bag with holder according to aspect 5, the shrinkage of the space formed by the bottom gusset and the lower collar is restricted, and the self-supporting ability of the bag with holder can be improved.

[0098] The holder of the present disclosure is configured to support a bag container having a body, top and bottom gussets provided at the upper and lower parts of the body, and a spout provided in the top gusset, and comprises a cylindrical main body that houses the bag container, and a flap that is provided on the upper opening edge of the main body and is folded along the upper opening edge, the flap having a cutout corresponding to the shape of the spout, the flap being folded at an acute angle along the upper opening edge and supporting the spout with the cutout abutting the spout of the bag container housed in the main body.

[0099] According to the above-described configuration, the holder according to the present disclosure can be attached to a bag container by the simple action of abutting the notched portion of the flap against the spout.

[0100] The present disclosure is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and various modifications are possible within the scope of the claims. The technical scope of the present disclosure also includes embodiments obtained by appropriately combining the disclosed technical means. Furthermore, new technical features can be formed by combining the disclosed technical means. [Explanation of symbols]
