  The invention according to claim 8 of the present invention is a high-viscosity food / beverage product package obtained by filling a high-viscosity food / beverage product packaging container according to claim 5 with a high-viscosity food / beverage product.

  According to the present invention, the diameter of the passage extending from the mouth portion of the extractor to the conduit portion is set within the range of 10 mm to 12 mm, so that the highly viscous food and drink with high viscosity, particularly yogurt and ice contained in the container. High-viscosity dairy products such as cream, for example, yogurt with pulp can be swallowed with an appropriate suction force among yogurts.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.
In the following description, yogurt is shown as an example of a high-viscosity food and drink, and it is described as a yogurt packaging container.

  FIG. 1 shows a perspective view of a packaging container for yogurt according to the present invention. The yogurt packaging container 1 includes a gusset-shaped container 2 having an upper opening and an extraction tool 3 fixed to the opening 2 a of the gusset-shaped container 2.

  The gusset-shaped container 2 has double-sided portions 4 and 4 and gusseted portions 5 and 5 disposed between the double-sided portions 4 and 4 so that the folding end is located inward. The double-sided portions 4 and 4 and the gusseted portions 5 and 5 are formed from a laminate film 6.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the laminate film 6 is composed of a polyester film 7 having a thickness of 12 μm, an aluminum foil 8 having a thickness of 7 μm, a stretched nylon film 9 having a thickness of 15 μm, and a linear low film having a thickness of 70 μm. It is formed by laminating a density polyethylene film 10.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the extraction tool 3 includes a mouth portion 12 provided with a screw portion 11, a joint portion 13 integral with the mouth portion 12, and a conduit portion 14 extending downward from the joint portion 13. A cap 15 is screwed onto the screw portion 11 of the mouth portion 12 of the extraction tool 3. A plurality of openings 16 are formed in the side wall of the conduit portion 14.

  In the extraction tool 3, the diameter X of the passage extending from the mouth portion 12 to the conduit portion is set to 11 mm ± 1 mm. The length Y of the conduit portion of the extraction tool 3 is set to 6.5 mm or less. The diameter X of the extractor 3 is set to 10 mm or more so that a highly viscous yogurt can be sucked with an appropriate suction force, and when the filling nozzle (not shown) is attached to the mouth part 12 of the extractor 3, This is to make the portion 12 and the filling nozzle non-contact.

  That is, if the diameter X of the mouth portion 12 of the extraction tool 3 is 10 mm, the outer diameter of the filling nozzle is 8 mm to form a 1 mm space between the mouth portion 12 and the filling nozzle. If the thickness of the filling nozzle is 1 mm, the diameter of the filling nozzle is 6 mm. If the diameter of the filling nozzle is 6 mm, the flesh like apples cut into aloe pieces or granules is a piece of about 3 mm to 5 mm, so even if the yogurt containing pulp is filled into the gusset-shaped container 2 through the filling nozzle, The filling nozzle does not clog the pulp contained in the yogurt with pulp.

  The reason why the diameter X of the mouth 12 of the extractor 3 is 12 mm or less is that when the thickness of the mouth 12 of the extractor 3 is 1 mm, the outer diameter of the mouth 12 of the extractor 3 is 14 mm. When the outer diameter of the mouth portion 12 is 15 mm or more, it is considered that the user cannot suck the yogurt filled in the gusset-shaped container 2 with an appropriate suction force with the mouth closed.

  The length Y of the conduit portion of the extraction tool 3 is set to 6.5 mm or less when the yogurt is filled in the gusset-shaped container 2 and is formed above the upper surface of the yogurt filled in the gusset-shaped container 2. This is to reduce the space and reduce the contact between yogurt and air. This is preferable when the contents filled in the gusset container 2 are contents that cannot be sterilized after filling, such as yogurt.

  To fill yogurt packaging container 1 according to the present invention with yogurt, in particular, yogurt with pulp, a filling nozzle (not shown) is attached to mouth 12 of extractor 3, and yogurt with pulp is passed through the filling nozzle and yogurt packaging container. This is done by introducing it into the interior of 1. In this case, since a space is formed between the mouth portion 12 of the take-out tool 3 of the yogurt packaging container 1 and the outer surface of the filling nozzle, the mouth portion 12 and the filling nozzle maintain a non-contact state, and are safe and hygienic. The filling operation can be performed.

  In particular, when the sterilization operation is not performed after filling, such as when the contents are yogurt, ice cream, etc., the filling nozzle is preferably not soiled for hygiene purposes, but the mouth 12 and the filling nozzle are not contacted. If it maintains in a state, it can be filled, without making a filling nozzle adhere, without making the filling nozzle dirty.

  And after filling the high-viscosity food / drink packaging container 1 with the contents in this way, if the cap 15 is screwed onto the screw part 11 of the mouth part 12 of the extraction tool 3 and sealed, the high-viscosity food / drink package Can be obtained.

  Moreover, in the yogurt packaging container 1 according to the present invention, the diameter X of the passage extending from the mouth portion 12 of the extraction tool 3 to the conduit portion 14 is 11 mm ± 1 mm, so that the diameter of the filling nozzle can be 6 mm or more. Therefore, when filling yogurt containing fruit pieces containing about 3 mm to 5 mm fruit pieces such as aloe pieces or apples cut into granules into the yogurt packaging container 1, the filling nozzle is clogged with the pulp contained in the yogurt containing the pulp. There is no.

  In addition, in the yogurt packaging container 1 according to the present invention, the content to be filled is yogurt and is white, so that the mouth portion 12 of the extractor 3 is not white and is colored green, for example, at the time of filling. Enables confirmation of content adhesion.

  In order to drink the yogurt containing pulp stored in the yogurt packaging container 1, the cap 15 of the yogurt packaging container 1 is removed from the mouth portion 12, and the yogurt packaging container 1 is sucked into the mouth portion 12 of the extractor 3 with the mouth. The both side portions 4 and 4 are pressed with fingers of the hand, and the yogurt containing pulp stored in the yogurt packaging container 1 is squeezed out. At this time, since the caliber X of the mouth portion 12 of the extractor 3 is 11 mm ± 1 mm, the mouth portion 12 is filled with pulp containing yogurt filled in the yogurt packaging container 1 with the mouth closed. It can be ingested with moderate suction force without letting go.

  FIG. 4 is a diagram showing another embodiment of the present invention. The yogurt packaging container 20 shown in FIG. 4 includes a self-standing container body 21 having an upper opening, and an extractor 3 fixed to the opening of the self-standing container body 21.

  The self-supporting container body 21 includes double-sided portions 22 and 22 and a bottom portion 23 disposed between the lower ends of the double-sided portions 22 and 22 so that the folding end is positioned upward. The double-sided portion 22 and the bottom portion 23 are formed from the laminate film 6. Since the configurations of the laminate film 6 and the extraction tool 3 are the same as those of the minate film 6 and the extraction tool 3 of the gusset-shaped container 2 described above, description thereof will be omitted.

  In the above embodiment, various modifications can be made within the scope of the present invention. For example, the diameter X of the passage of the mouth portion 12 can be changed depending on the location of the passage without making the diameter constant as shown in FIG. 3, but as long as the effect of the present invention is achieved, It goes without saying that various modifications are also included in the scope of the present invention.

  The high-viscosity food and beverage packaging container of the present invention is suitable for housing yogurt, particularly yogurt with pulp. When drinking yogurt containing pulp, the yogurt containing pulp filled in the yogurt packaging container with the mouth closed can be drunk with an appropriate suction force without clogging the pulp in the mouth.
