Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a bag with a pump which can be discharged as a bag without the need to refill the contents of the bottle.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art As a first prior art, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 7-223689 discloses a bag provided with a pump, and a liquid content discharging container comprising a box accommodating the bag. When performing the pressing operation of the pump with the bag provided with the pump, the bag is crushed by the pressing force because there is no supporting structure,
By using the box housing the bag, a reaction force at the time of performing the pressing operation was obtained, and a stable pressing operation was enabled. As a second conventional technique, there is a technique in which a reinforcing column is provided in a thin-walled container to obtain a reaction force when a pressing operation is performed in the same manner as described above.

[0003]

However, in the first prior art, a box for accommodating a bag must be used, which requires equipment and manufacturing costs for resin materials and the like. When the next new bag is used, the user is forced to replace the new bag with the box. Also in the second prior art, the same cost and labor as described above are required by providing the reinforcing columns.

[0004]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Accordingly, the present invention is directed to a flexible bag which can be discharged as a bag without using a box for accommodating the bag, and having a pump at the top of the bag. The above problem has been solved by a pump-equipped bag provided with a support for hanging a finger on the pump.

In the present invention, since the bag is the main container, the amount of resin can be significantly reduced as compared with the conventional bottle container, and the burden on the environment can be reduced. The bag with a pump of the present invention comprises a bag containing contents and a pump connected to the bag. The bag is preferably a flexible self-supporting bag, and may be a pouch, a gusset bag, or the like in which two side sheets and one bottom sheet are bonded at the edges. As the pump, a normal pump dispenser is used, but the present invention is not limited to this, and a pump member having a pump function such as a spray pump can be used.

[0006] The pump of the present invention comprises a pump body and a pusher, and the pump body has a top surface and side surfaces. On the top surface, there is a push portion used for discharging, and by pushing the push portion downward, the pump is operated and the contents can be discharged from the discharge port.

[0007] The pump main body is provided with a support for hanging a finger. It is preferable in terms of operability that the support portion is disposed on a portion where the pump can be supported by a finger when discharging the contents, particularly on a side surface portion of the pump body. The shape of the support portion on which the finger is hung is not limited as long as the finger can be supported, but in particular, a shape protruding from the side surface portion of the pump body, more preferably a flange shape or a flange shape, so that the finger is easily caught and stable discharge can be performed. . By providing a non-slip surface having irregularities on the support portion, even a wet finger can discharge without slipping.

The present invention has the following effects. 1) The support part of the pump main body part of the bag with the pump in which the contents are stored is supported by a finger. 2) When the pushing part is pushed down with a finger, the pump operates and the contents are discharged from the discharge port. Therefore, since the discharging operation can be performed with the bag, a bottle container as in the related art becomes unnecessary. Therefore, there is no need to refill the contents of the bottle like a conventional standing pouch. 3) Since the bag is made of a flexible material, the bag itself is depressurized and contracted inward, and the contents are completely used up without leaving the contents in the bag. Further, since the bag with the pump is crushed and thinned as it is used, it is easy to store the bag with the pump in a gap between shelves without being bulky, or a bag with a hole for hanging can be used. Also, since it is not bulky as in a conventional pump bottle container, it has good disposability. 4) Further, since there is no need to use a box for storing the bag, the manufacturing cost of equipment for forming the box, resin material, and the like can be greatly reduced. 5) When the next new bag is used, there is no need to replace the new bag with a box for storing the bag, so that the contents can be taken out without any trouble.

[0009]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 shows the whole of the present invention. The bag 1 with a pump according to the present invention includes a bag 10 containing a detergent and a pump 20 connected to the bag 10. The contents are not limited to detergents, and may be cosmetics, foods such as seasonings, beverages, and the like. The bag 10 was a flexible, self-supporting pouch in which two side sheets and one bottom sheet were bonded at the edges by heat sealing.

As the pump 20, an ordinary pump dispenser is used. The pump 20 includes a pump body 23 and a pusher 24. The pump body 23 has a top surface 26, a side surface 27 having a support 30, and a discharge port 28. The top surface portion 26 has a pushing portion 24 used for discharging. When the pushing portion 24 is pressed downward, the pump is operated to discharge a required amount of the cleaning agent from the discharge port 28.

FIG. 2 shows a state in which the cleaning agent is discharged. The support part 30 is provided in the pump main body part 23. Support 30
Is a portion capable of supporting the pump 20 with a finger when discharging the cleaning agent, in particular, a side portion 27 of the pump main body 23.
Is preferable in terms of operability. The shape of the support portion 30 is not limited as long as it can support a finger. As shown in the cross-sectional view of FIG.
The flange shape protruding from about 7 to about 3 to 10 mm allows the fingers to be easily caught and discharges stably.

Since the bag 10 is made of a flexible material, as shown in FIG.
The bag itself contracts under reduced pressure, and the cleaning agent remains in the bag 10 and can be used to the end. Further, since the bag 1 with the pump is crushed and thinned as it is used, the bag 1 with the pump can be easily stored in a gap between shelves without being bulky, or a bag can be provided with a hole for hanging, and used. Also, since it is not bulky as in a conventional pump bottle container, it has good disposability.

FIG. 5 shows another embodiment of the present invention.
(A) is an example in which the discharge port 28 is integrated with the pressing portion 24,
(B) is an example in which the discharge port is a spray pump. In any of the embodiments, the operation is the same as that described above, and a simple operation can be performed with one hand.

[0014]

According to the present invention described above, since the support portion for hooking with the fingers is provided on the pump body of the bag with the pump, the discharging operation can be performed in the bag, and the operation of refilling the contents in the bottle can be performed. It becomes unnecessary. Since the bag is made of a flexible material, the bag itself is depressurized and contracted inward, and the contents are used up to the end without leaving any contents. Furthermore, since there is no need to use a box for storing bags, equipment for manufacturing the box, manufacturing costs for resin materials, etc. can be significantly reduced, and there is no need to replace the box for storing bags. The contents can be taken out without being confused.
