2. Description of the Related Art As a technique relating to a container in which a resin layer is formed on a pulp molded article, for example, the technique described in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 10-46500 is known. This publication discloses that after spraying an aqueous solution of a polymer compound on the inner surface of a pulp layer having a predetermined moisture content in a state before dehydration or after dehydration at room temperature, a drying process is performed by a heating press or the like to form a shallow bottom mold tray. A method of obtaining is disclosed.

[0003] However, in the method described in the above publication, the sprayed aqueous solution of the polymer compound penetrates into the pulp layer, so that a layer having a sufficient thickness to exhibit waterproofness and moistureproofness is formed. For this purpose, a large amount of an aqueous solution of a polymer compound is required, and the drying time becomes long, so that the production cost becomes high. In addition, since the aqueous solution of the polymer compound that has penetrated into the pulp layer acts as a binder for binding the pulp fibers, the disintegration of the pulp fibers is reduced, and the pulp fibers are not easily reused.

The resin layer 3 has a thickness of 5 to 300 μm,
Preferably it is 20 to 150 μm. 5μ thickness
When the thickness is less than m, sufficient storage stability of the contents is not obtained because a sufficient waterproof / moisture-proof effect cannot be obtained. When the thickness exceeds 300 μm, it takes time to dry the resin layer 3. Problems such as uneven thickness will occur. The thickness of the resin layer 3 is measured by observing a cross section of the container 1 with a microscope. The container 1 of the present embodiment is the same as the container disclosed in
Unlike the mold tray described in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 0-46500, the area of the pulp fiber constituting the molded body 2 and the resin layer 3
Are clearly distinguished from the synthetic resin region constituting
That is, in the mold tray described in the above publication, since the aqueous solution of the polymer compound penetrates into the inside of the pulp layer having a predetermined moisture content, the boundary between the pulp fiber region and the polymer compound region is not clear. In the container 1 of the embodiment, as is clear from the description of the manufacturing method described later, the boundary is clear because the penetration of the synthetic resin is small. as a result,
Waterproofing and moistureproofing can be imparted with a smaller amount of synthetic resin than before, and the pulp fiber disintegration during reuse is improved.

When the shape of the inner surface of the cavity 13 is sufficiently transferred to the pulp layer 15 and the pulp layer 15 can be dewatered under pressure to a predetermined moisture content, the core 1 is removed as shown in FIG.
6. Drain the pressurized fluid in 6. This causes the core 16 to shrink and return to its original size. Next, the contracted core 16 is taken out of the cavity 13, and the papermaking mold 10 is further opened to take out the wet pulp layer 15 having a predetermined moisture content.
At this time, the moisture content of the pulp layer 15 is preferably set to about 50 to 80% by weight in consideration of handleability and the like.

The removed pulp layer 15 is then subjected to predrying, emulsion coating and drying steps. In these steps, the same apparatus as that in the paper making step shown in FIG. 2 is used, and almost the same operation is performed, except that paper making and dewatering are not performed. That is, first, a heating mold in which a cavity having a shape corresponding to the outer shape of the molded body 2 to be molded is formed by abutting a pair of split molds is heated to a predetermined temperature, and the heating mold is wetted in the heating mold. Of the above pulp layer.

Next, a core similar to the core 16 used in the paper making step was inserted into the pulp layer, and a pressurized fluid was supplied into the core to expand the core, thereby expanding the core. The pulp layer is pressed against the inner surface of the cavity by the core and preliminarily dried. The material of the core and the supply pressure of the pressurized fluid can be the same as in the above-described papermaking process. The pressing of the core further increases the density of the pulp layer (ie, further lowers the porosity).

The pulp layer has a predetermined water content (0.1 to 2).
(5% by weight), the pressurized fluid in the core is drained, and the core is shrunk and taken out. Next, a synthetic resin emulsion is sprayed into the pulp layer by a predetermined spraying means, and the emulsion is applied to the inner surface of the pulp layer to form a coating film. In this case, since the density of the pulp layer is high and the porosity is low as described above, the emulsion is hardly permeated into the pulp layer. Therefore, most of the emulsion remains on the surface of the pulp layer, and sufficient waterproof and moisture-proof properties can be exhibited by applying a smaller amount of emulsion than before. In addition, it is possible to prevent the disintegration of the pulp fiber during the reuse. It is preferable to use a synthetic resin having a particle size of about 0.01 to 10 μm as the emulsion from the viewpoint of controlling the penetration of the emulsion into the pulp layer.

Under the above conditions, the coating film of the emulsion and the pulp layer are dried in a heating mold to form a resin layer from the coating film and to form a molded body 2 from the pulp layer. When both are sufficiently dried, the heating mold is opened, and the container 1 having the resin layer 3 on the inner surface of the molded body 2 is taken out.
