Description

SPECIFICATION A container This invention relates to a container of bag shape for drinking liquid in which the peripheral edges of sheets formed of synthetic resin film or paper laminated with synthetic resin film are bonded and, more particularly, to a container with a straw inserted thereinto for sucking a content therein.
A bag-shaped container in which the peripheral edges of sheets formed of synthetic resin films or paper laminated with synthetic resin film are bonded has been frequently used as a drinking container. It was necessary in the container of this type to cut off the corner of the container to form an exit and further to separately prepare a straw in case of discharging a content filled therein.
It is also important in a public sanitation in a container sold for drinking liquid to provide a guarantee for an original seal to indicate no opening so as to prove the quality of content filled therein.
Heretofore, there is a container with a cap seal which coats a cover with plastic film so as to prove an original seal. This cap seal has such a disadvantage that, since this cap seal is hermetically sealed between the cover and the container, the cap seal is hardly removed. In case of opening the container with the cap seal, another problem arises in the necessity of two steps of initially removing the cap seal and then opening the cover.
There is recently another container formed of paper or plastic for milk in which the exit thereof is hermetically sealed with paper seal and a guarantee for an original seal is indicated. In this case, the seal of the container and the indication for the guarantee for the original seal are simultaneously carried out, but since the seal is intimately contacted with the container, problems arise in which the seal can be hardly separated, and the residue of the seal remains on the exit, from which the seal is separated, thereby losing the clean observation.
According, an object of the present invention is to provide a container of the structure which can eliminate complicated structure of the conventional container of this type to cut the corner of the container to form an exit and to separately prepare a straw, can readily collapse the indication of a guarantee for an original seal simultaneously upon opening of the container without losing clean observation.
According to the present invention, there is provided a container of a bag shape in which the peripheral edges of sheets formed of synthetic resin film or paper laminated with synthetic resin film are bonded which comprises a straw intimately inserted fixedly between the sheets to project outwardly of the container at the upper end portion thereof and extend to the vicinity of the bottom of the container at the lower end thereof, a cover threaded on the upper end portion of the straw and having a projection formed with a guide side and cut side, and a collapsible member provided in the rotary path of the projection in the vicinity of the upper end portion of the straw to be elastically deformed toward the guide side of the cover in case of mounting the cover and to be collapsed upon contacting with the cut side in case of separating the cover.Thus, the container of the present invention can eliminate the complicated structure of the conventional container of this type to cut the corner of the container to form an exit and to separately prepare a straw, can readily collapse the indication of a guarantee for an original seal simultaneously upon opening of the container without losing clean observation.
The above and other related objects and features of the invention will be apparent from a reading of the following description of the disclosure found in the accompanying drawing and the novelty thereof pointed out in the appended claims.
In the accompanying drawing, the single Figure is a perspective view of a container with a straw constructed according to the present invention.
The present invention will now be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawing.
As shown in Figure, a container 1 of the present invention is of a bag shape in which the peripheral edges of sheets of the container 1 formed of synthetic resin films or paper laminated with synthetic resin film are bonded with a straw 2 provided at the container 1. The straw 2 is projected at the upper end portion 3 thereof outwardly of the container 1, and extended at the lower end thereof to the vicinity of the bottom of the container 1 so as to be interposed, or inserted and bonded by means of bonding or fusion-bonding at the intermediate thereof between the bonded edge 6 of the sheets 4 and 5.
The straw 2 preferably has a length reaching the vicinity of the bottom of the container 1 at the lower end thereof, thereby substantially completely sucking a content filled in the container. Since the straw 2 is inserted and bonded into the container 1 by means of bonding orfusion-bonding as described above, the content in the container 1 is not leaked from the mounted part of the straw 2. When the content in the container 1 is sucked through the straw 2, the container 1 itself is contracted, thereby readily sucking the content in the container 1 via the straw 2.
A cover 7 is threaded on the end of the upper end portion 3 of the straw 2 in a hermetically sealing structure. First, second and third flanges 8,9 and 10 are respectively formed at the upper end portion 3 of the straw 2 at predetermined intervals, and the lowermost third flange 10 is contacted with the upper end of the bonded edge 6 of the container 1.
The second flange 9 of the straw 2 is used as a holder in case of conveying the container 1 when filling a content in the container 1, and the first flange 8 of the straw 2 is used as a holder in case of moving the container from the conveying step for threading the cover 7 on the container 1.
A supporting piece 20 is stood substantially at a right angle on the end of the upper surface of the first flange 8 of the straw 2. A protrusion 11 is projected from the supporting piece 20 toward the upper end portion 3 of the straw 2, and a thin collapsible member 12 is extended between the end portion of the protrusion 11 of the supporting piece 20 and the first flange 8 of the straw 2. This collapsible member 12 is formed of a plastic material having a predetermined elasticity, and has a strength to be collapsed or cut when a predetermined external force is applied thereto.
Male threads are formed on the outer peripheral surface of the upper end portion 3 of the straw 2, and the cover 7 is engaged with the upper end portion 3 of the straw 2 by engaging the male threads formed on the straw 2 with female threads formed on the inner peripheral surface of the cover 7. When the cover 7 is turned clockwise as seen from above, the container 1 is sealed by the cover 7. When the cover 7 is turned counterclockwise as seen from above, the container 1 is opened.
A plurality of teeth 13 os sawtooth shape which extend outwardly are formed on the outer peripheral surface of the opening end of the cover 7. The teeth 13 of the cover 7 are so projected from the outer peripheral surface of the cover 7 that at least end parts of the teeth 13 make contact with the thin collapsible member 12 when the cover 7 is engaged with the upper end portion 3 of the straw 2. Each tooth 13 is formed substantially in a triangular shape having an obtuse angle and formed of a guide side 14 gradually bent outwardly from the outer peripher- al surface of the cover 7 as an origin and a cut side 15 extending outwardly with an obtuse angle to the outer peripheral surface of the cover 7. Thus, a hermetically sealing structure of the cover 7 on the container 1 is constructed.
An operation of the hermetically sealing structure described above will now be described in detail. In case that the cover 7 is closed on the container 1 in which drinking liquid is filled and the container 1 is sealed, the cover 7 is threaded on the upper end portion 3 of the straw 2, and turned clockwise (as designated by an arrow P in Figure). At this time, the guide pieces 14 of the teeth 13 of the cover 7 make contact with the thin collapsible member 12. Howev er, since the collapsible member 12 has a predeter mined elasticity as described above, the member 12 is not cut but urged outwardly of the cover 7 along the guide sides 14 bent as described above of the cover 7 to resultantly turn the guide side 14 of the tooth 13 engaged with the member 12. The cover 7 is then turned until the upper end portion 3 of the straw 2 is completely hermetically sealed.Accordingly, the cover 7 can be closed on the container 1 without cutting the thin collapsible member 12 by the teeth 13 of the cover.
When the cover 7 thus closed is turned counterc lockwise (as designated by an arrow R in Figure), the cover 7 is removed from the upper end portion 3 of the straw 2. At this time, the cut side 15 of the tooth 13 makes contact with the collapsible member 12, and the tooth 13 is engaged with the collapsible member 12. When the cover 7 is further turned, the collapsible member 12 is deformed. When the deformation of the collapsible member 12 thus reaches its elastic limt, the collapsible member 12 is cut by the tooth 13 thus engaged with the member 12. When the cover 7 is further turned, the cover 7 is desengaged from the upper end portion 3 of the straw 2, and the container 1 is opened. Therefore, the cover 7 is not opened at all from the first unless the collapsible member 12 is cut, while the cover 7 is clearly opened once if the collapsible member 12 is cut.
As described above, the indication of a guarantee for an original seal of the container can be readily collapsed simultaneously upon opening of the container as operated above, and the indication of the guarantee for the original seal can be confirmed according to whether the thin collapsible member is cut or not, thereby providing a container which does not lose its clean observation.
