  • the shape retaining member 12 preferably has a fixed cross-sectional shape (such as a cylinder or rod) in the longitudinal direction in order to prevent blocking the flow path 11, but cylinders are more preferable because the flow of the content is not hindered, and of these, round cylinders are especially preferable because attaching is possible on any surface and therefore positioning when attaching to the film is simple. Furthermore, during the attaching process, the longitudinal direction of the shape retaining member is preferably aligned with the direction of the flow path 1 1.

Alternatively, a plurality of intermittent spot attach points may also be used.
  • the shape retaining member 12 ensures gaps 16a, 16b between the seal regions 5a, 7 which partition both sides of the flow path 1 1 along the whole length. Therefore, not only can these gaps 16a, 16b be used as the flow path 1 1, but the shape retaining member 12 can move back and forth (to the side facing one side edge seal region 5a hand the side facing the top seal region 7) in the flow path 1 1 with the shape retaining member attach region 12a at the center.

Furthermore, both sides of the vertical region 14c are connected by a remaining uncut region 14b between the vertical region 14c and the starting region 14a. A cutaway in the starting region 14a and the penetrating marks of the vertical region 14c and the like are preferably formed simultaneously in order to prevent shifting positions with regards to each other.
  • the width of the uncut region 14b is dependent on the material of the main body films 2, 3, but for instance is between approximately 0.5 and 1.5 mm. Incidentally, uncut regions 14b may be formed in a plurality of locations along the opening guide line 14 if necessary.
  • the whole opening guide line 14 from the starting point 14a to the end region 14g is formed in the top seal region 7 and is not extended to the unsealed region which forms the flow path 11 of the pour spout 10, so the strength of the main body films 2, 3 which cover the pour spout 10 will not be weakened, and tearing of the main body films 2, 3 can be suppressed. Furthermore, by tearing the uncut region 14b, the region 1-5 enclosed by the vertical region 14c and the angle region 14e may be pulled out from the top seal region 7 and can be used as a holding tab when opening the packaging bag.

  • the distance d from the extended line L of the end region 14 of the opening guide line 14 to the shape retaining member 12 is preferably within a range of 1 to 4 mm. Thereby, the opening can easily be formed along the extended line L, and closing of the opening region 17 can effectively be prevented. If the aforementioned distance d is too short, there is a possibility that opening along the extended line L will be difficult, but if the distance d is too long, there is a possibility that the opening region 17 cannot be prevented from closing.
  • the coiner region formed between the extended line L of the end region 14g and one side edge seal region 5a is the leading edge 17a of the opening region 17.
  • One side edge seal region 5a has a curved region 5c in the side region of the pour spout 10, and therefore the curved region 5c will contact with and catch on the opening of the empty main container (not shown in the figures) and will act as a guide when the pour ⁇ spout 10 of the packaging bag 1 is inclined.
  • the side edge seal region 5a is inclined at the curved region 5c, and therefore the leading edge 17a of the opening region 17 will be at an acute angle, and the pour spout 10 can easily be inserted into the opening of the empty main container.
  • the contents When the contents are poured out, the contents will pool around the pour spout 10 if the fluidity of the content is low, and the expanded region between the films 2, 3 will swell out because of the weight of the contents. Furthermore, if the content is for instance a powder, the content which has pooled around the pour spout 10 may become plugged or form lumps if the opening cross-section area of the opening region 17 is smaller than the cross-section area of the flow path 1 1 inside the pour spout 10.
  • the shape forming member 12 which is attached to one main body film 2 can be separated from the other main body film 3, and therefore the aforementioned condition will not easily occur, and even in the event that the io aforementioned conditions occur, a gap 16c will be formed between the shape retaining member 12 and the other main body film 3 so the flow path 11 of the pour spout 10 can be opened wide as shown in Fig. 3 (b) and pouring can be efficiently performed.
  • the shape retaining member 12 in the flow path 1 1 can move back and forth to the left and right sides, and therefore as shown in Fig. 4, content which has become plugged or has formed lumps in front of the opening region 17 can be broken up and can be easily poured out from the opening region 17 by massaging the area around the pour spout 10 from the outside of the packaging bag 1, and by rubbing the shape retaining member 12 relative to the other film 3, content which is adhering to the inside surface of the films 2, 3 can be knocked down by the shape retaining member 12, and content can be kept from remaining in the pour spout 10 during the final pouring operation.
  • the shape retaining member attach region 12a has a shape which extends in a straight-line along the longitudinal direction of the shape retaining member 12, the direction of moving the shape retaining member back and forth can be fixed with the shape retaining member attach region 12a at the center axis, and therefore the shape retaining member 12 can be efficiently moved back and forth and the effect of enhancing the pouring of the contents can be further increased.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un sac d'emballage pourvu d'un bec verseur qui permet de verser facilement le contenu même en cas de faible fluidité et de diminuer le contenu résiduel. Ce sac d'emballage 1 pourvu d'un bec verseur 10, dont le chemin d'écoulement 11 est établi dans une partie supérieure du sac d'emballage 1, est divisé en régions hermétiques 5a, 7 constituées par le scellement de deux feuilles de film 2, 3, et un élément à mémoire de forme 12 qui sépare ces deux feuilles de film 2, 3 est établi dans le chemin d'écoulement 11 du bec verseur 10. L'élément à mémoire de forme 12 assure la formation d'un espace 16a, 16b entre les régions hermétiques 5a, 7 qui divisent les deux côtés du chemin d'écoulement 11 sur toute la longueur, l'élément à mémoire de forme 12 étant fixe par rapport à un seul film 2 des deux feuilles de film 2, 3.
