The small tube is hard and can reliably prevent the passage from being crushed, and the contents filled in the bag can be poured out through the small tube.
However, even in such a bag, since the film material of the spout portion is provided with a groove-like depression by deep drawing or the like, and the small pipe is inserted therein and fixed by spot welding or the like. The number of manufacturing steps increases, the manufacturing apparatus becomes complicated, and at the same time the production speed is suppressed. Further, since the small tube has hardness, there is a problem that the film material of the bag is easily damaged at the end portion.

Further, according to the refillable pouch of the invention described in (2) above, a spout part is provided in a part of the upper part of the pouch, and the inner surface of the spout part has a flat shape at the time of mounting.

FIG. 6 is a schematic enlarged cross-sectional view taken along the line AA of the spout portion of the bag with the spout portion shown in FIG. 4, and is a diagram illustrating an example of a cross-sectional shape of the spout portion.

The cylindrical body 20a shown in FIG. 1 (a) has a circular cylindrical cross section, and the entirety thereof is a single layer 21 of a thermoadhesive resin having thermal adhesiveness to the sealant layer on the inner surface of the laminated film of the bag. It was formed by.
The cylindrical body 20b shown in (b) of FIG. 1 has a cylindrical shape with a circular cross section similar to the cylindrical body 20a shown in (a), but the cylindrical body 20b has a two-layer configuration. The outer surface layer is formed of the heat-adhesive resin layer 21, and the inner surface layer is formed of the resin layer 22 having a melting point higher than that of the heat-adhesive resin layer 21.
Further, when the adhesion between the outer surface layer and the inner surface layer is insufficient, an adhesive resin layer that improves the adhesion between them can be provided as an intermediate layer between them to form a three-layer structure.

The cylindrical bodies 20a and 20b shown in FIGS. 1 (a) and 1 (b) are all shown in a cylindrical shape with a circular cross section, but there is no particular limitation as long as it is a cylindrical body. As described, the cross section may be a quadrangle such as a rectangle, a rectangular tube such as a hexagon, an octagon, or the like.
In the layer structure of the cylindrical bodies 20a and 20b shown in FIGS. 1A and 1B, the layer 21 of the heat-adhesive resin that forms at least the outer surface layer thereof is used as the outlet of the bag. It is necessary to have thermal adhesiveness with the sealant layer on the inner surface of the laminated film of the bag in order to oppose the inner surface of the laminated film and thermally bond at a part thereof.
The heat-adhesive resin used for the layer 21 of the heat-adhesive resin includes a low-density polyethylene, a linear low-density polyethylene, a medium-density polyethylene, a high-density resin, in accordance with the resin of the sealant layer on the inner surface of the laminated film of the bag. In addition to polyethylene, ethylene-α olefin copolymer, ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer (EVA), ethylene-acrylic acid copolymer (EAA), ethylene-methacrylic acid copolymer (EMAA), ethylene-acrylic acid ester A copolymer, an ethylene-methacrylic acid ester copolymer, an ethylene copolymer such as an ionomer, a polypropylene resin, a propylene copolymer, or a polyolefin resin such as a blend resin thereof is used as appropriate. be able to.

When the cylindrical body has a two-layer configuration, or a multilayer configuration such as a three-layer configuration, like the cylindrical body 20b shown in FIG. 1B, the inner surface layer (innermost layer) becomes the above-described inner layer. The resin used for the resin layer 22 having a higher melting point than the thermal adhesive resin layer 21 is not particularly limited as long as the resin has a higher melting point than the resin selected for the thermal adhesive resin layer 21. In addition to being able to be appropriately selected from the various polyolefin resins listed as the resin used for the thermal adhesive resin layer 21, the range is further expanded to include polyesters such as polyethylene terephthalate, polybutylene terephthalate, polyethylene naphthalate, and various nylons. Polyamides such as 4-methylpentene-1 resin, polycarbonate and the like can be appropriately selected and used.
Also, an adhesive resin layer is provided as an intermediate layer between the thermal adhesive resin layer 21 and the resin layer 22 having a melting point higher than that of the thermal adhesive resin layer 21 in order to improve the adhesion between them. In this case, as an adhesive resin for the intermediate layer, for example, an adhesive resin such as polyethylene or polypropylene used for extrusion lamination or the like [for example, polyolefin resin having a functional group introduced, Admer (trade name), etc. ] Can be used.

The outer diameter, thickness, length, and the like of the cylindrical bodies 20a and 20b may be appropriately determined depending on the shape and size of the spout portion of the bag to which these are thermally bonded.
Regarding the wrinkles and wall thickness, a range of about 0.2 to 1.2 mm is preferable, and a range of 0.3 to 1.0 mm is more preferable. In addition, regarding the length, as described above, the length from the opening position on the tip side of the spout portion to the vicinity of the base portion of the spout portion, or shorter than that, from the opening position of the spout portion. It can be provided in a length of about 1/2 to 2/3 of the length to the base of the spout portion.
When the thickness of the cylindrical body is less than 0.2 mm, the rigidity of the cylindrical body is insufficient, and the effect of improving the shape retention when the spout portion is opened in a cylindrical shape is reduced. . Moreover, when the wall thickness of the cylindrical body exceeds 1.2 mm, the effect of improving the shape retaining property of the spout portion opened in the cylindrical shape is already sufficient, and there is no need for this. It is not preferable because the productivity is reduced and the manufacturing cost including the material cost is increased.

  Such cylindrical bodies 20a and 20b can be easily manufactured by a single layer or multilayer coextrusion tube forming method. Usually, when the cylindrical bodies 20a and 20b are formed in a long winding shape with a predetermined outer diameter and thickness, and thermally bonded to the inner surface of the bag spout portion, the bag making machine It is preferable from the viewpoint of excellent productivity that it is cut into a necessary length by a cylindrical body attaching device attached to, and attached in-line with a bag.

Moreover, the cylindrical bodies 20a and 20b can be colored for the purpose of quality control. By coloring the cylindrical bodies 20a and 20b and thermally bonding them to the inner surface of the spout portion of the bag, the defective position of the bonding is detected by optical means, and defective products are automatically removed. Therefore, the quality control related to the attachment of the cylindrical body of the bag with the spout portion can be performed more reliably.
As a method for coloring the cylindrical body, for example, a method of kneading a colorant into the resin when molding the cylindrical body is simple, and the color to be colored is not particularly limited as long as it is a color that can be detected optically. For example, blue, red, etc. can be used suitably.

As a specific example of the case where the cylindrical body is formed of a laminate of two or more layers, for example, when it is formed of two layers, for example, the layer 21 of the heat-adhesive resin that is thermally bonded to the spout portion of the bag The resin layer 22 having a melting point higher than that of the heat-adhesive resin layer 21 may be formed of a medium-density polyethylene layer or a high-density polyethylene layer.
When forming with three layers, for example, a multi-layer coextrusion molding method is adopted, and the layer 21 of the heat-adhesive resin on the side to be thermally bonded to the spout portion of the bag is made of low-density polyethylene or ethylene-based copolymer. The resin layer 22 having a melting point higher than that of the thermoadhesive resin layer 21 on the opposite side is formed of a layer such as polypropylene, and the intermediate layer is an adhesive resin such as polypropylene that improves the adhesion between the two. It can be formed with a layer of.
