Description

  The present invention relates to a liquid container that is convenient to carry, for example.

Garbage and hand-washing are recommended as a personal and effective preventive measure due to the spread of new viruses, but gargle and hand-washing are not something that should be done after returning home, but in the throat and hands. When there is an opportunity to attach a large amount of bacteria, it is important to execute it promptly.
Therefore, you will gargle and wash your hands using places where you can use tap water such as public toilets and restrooms at restaurants, but gargle here with your own hands. Since it is carried, bacteria attached to the hand will be carried into the mouth together, and the effect of gargle may be reduced by half, or the risk of bacterial infection may be increased.

Thus, for example, a cup as described in Patent Document 1 has been developed or created.
The cup described in Patent Document 1 is formed in a rectangular envelope shape whose entire circumference is closed, a perforation for cutting is provided on the upper end side, and a mouthwash is arranged inside. .

Actual Application No. 62-151671 Specification / Drawings

The cup described in Patent Document 1 can be used for portable purposes, and when you want to gargle, cut and open the upper end side along the perforation, and pour tap water into the inside from the upper end opening. To do. When tap water is poured into the inside, the envelope-shaped cup will swell in a cylindrical shape so that a certain amount of tap water can be stored inside.
However, this cup can be easily crushed or swollen in any direction because the upper end portion is cut out and opened as a whole. Therefore, it is difficult to stably hold a cup containing tap water by hand, and depending on how you put your hands, the cup will be crushed in the direction of the cup, and the tap water inside will overflow, There is a risk of the cup slipping from your hand. In particular, it is difficult to change the angle of the cup when it is transported to the mouth, and internal tap water tends to spill. In addition, when a cup is placed in the mouth and tap water is included in the mouth, the upper end is entirely open, and the cup cannot be held stably. There are many cases where clothes flow out and get wet.

  The present invention has been made to solve these conventional problems, and it is an object of the present invention to provide a container for liquid and the like that is easy to grip and can discharge an appropriate amount of liquid inside.

  In order to achieve this object, the liquid container of the present invention has a cut-out portion (at the upper end portion of a flat paper or plastic bag whose peripheral portion is closed over the entire periphery or whose opening is closed ( A portion to be cut off), wherein the cut-out portion has an inlet forming portion on one side in the width direction and an outlet forming portion on the other side in the width direction, and the inlet forming A ceiling part is formed between the part and the outlet forming part. A container such as a liquid is used by cutting out an inlet forming portion and an outlet forming portion, forming an inlet on one side in the width direction, and forming an outlet on the other side in the width direction. Liquid or powder is poured or supplied from the inflow port into a container such as a liquid, and the liquid or the like in the container such as the liquid is flowed out or discharged from the outflow port, for example, poured into its own mouth. The liquid container is grasped by hand so that both sides in the width direction approach each other and the center in the width direction swells outward. The bulge of the liquid container is regulated by the ceiling. That is, when the ceiling portion starts to open horizontally, the shape change during the inflow of liquid etc. is almost restricted, so that the liquid etc. container is not crushed in the width direction, and the liquid etc. container is stably hand-held. Hold and hold. The ceiling functions as a bridge between the wall surfaces on both sides. Moreover, since the outlet is restricted from spreading by the ceiling, and the liquid is dammed by the ceiling, a large amount of liquid does not flow out. In addition, since the cut-out portion which is not required at the time of use is cut off, there is no fear that the inside of the container will become dirty with dust, dust, etc., and it is hygienic.

  The inflow port forming portion is preferably wider than the outflow port forming portion and longer than the outflow port forming portion in the height direction. That is, it is advantageous that the inlet is formed deeper and wider than the outlet. By forming in this way, liquid or the like can be poured into the container or the like easily and quickly, and the liquid or the like can be poured into its own mouth without spilling. The outlet can be formed as a funnel-shaped outlet.

  The liquid container of the present invention can also be used when the contents of another container such as a liquid, powder or granule contents are poured into another container (for example, a small bottle) having a small opening. That is, the content of another container is poured into a container such as a liquid from the inflow port, and the content is poured into another container from the outflow port.

  A water-soluble powdered gargle can be enclosed in a container such as a liquid.

  For example, it is convenient to provide a support leg portion on the bag body that does not get in the way when being carried, but can keep a container such as a liquid upright when used. Such a support leg includes a pair of attachment portions attached to one wall surface portion and the other wall surface portion of the bag body, and a leg main body integrally connecting the attachment portions across the lower end edge of the bag body. Can be configured. The leg main body is integrally formed with the pair of side support portions extending downward from the attachment portion along the bag body, for example, to the lower end edge or beyond the lower end edge, and the lower ends of the pair of side support portions. And a bottom surface support portion connected to the base plate. And the bottom surface support part is folded flat by being folded upward at both ends and the center, and is deformed so as to extend in the horizontal direction (may be a mountain shape) to support the bag body upright. Can be configured to

  The liquid container of the present invention forms a notch (a notched portion or a notched portion) at the upper end of a flat bag whose peripheral edge is closed over the entire circumference or whose opening is closed. Or a liquid container having a notch formed therein, the notch having an inlet on one side in the width direction and an outlet on the other side in the width direction. It can also be configured as a state in which a ceiling is formed in advance between the outlet. Here, the liquid container is constituted by separating the inlet forming part and the outlet forming part from the liquid container in which the cut part (the part to be cut) is formed. Thus, the use of the shape which cut out the cut part beforehand according to use or a storage condition is also anticipated (refer FIG. 3).

  The liquid container of the present invention is suitable for carrying and can be used conveniently by putting a liquid or the like when necessary. For example, it is not bulky when stored or as garbage.

The portions are bonded together (for example, heat sealed) to form a rectangular flat bag body 17 having a front surface side portion (one wall surface portion) 13 and a back surface side portion (the other wall surface portion) 15. ing. The bag body 17 is formed by closing the entire outer edge (periphery). Or as for the bag body 17, an opening part is obstruct | occluded and, as a result, the outer edge part (peripheral part) the whole periphery is obstruct | occluded. The portable cup 1 or the bag body 17 can be, for example, a business card size (capacity 30 to 40 cc) or a pocket tissue size (capacity 60 cc). For the portable cup 1 or the bag body 17, a paper material whose inner surface is subjected to a simple waterproof process such as a laminate process can be used.

  In the portable cup 1, a water supply port forming portion (inlet forming portion) 19 is provided on one side in the width direction on the upper end or upper end side of the rectangular flat bag body 17, and a water inlet is formed on the other side in the width direction. A portion (outlet forming portion) 21 is provided (FIG. 1). The water supply port forming portion 19 is located directly below the center in the width direction of the upper end edge 7 of the bag body 17 by a length of approximately 1/6 to 1/5 of the height of the bag body 17 (parallel to the side edge 9). For cutting along a first line 23 extending downward) and a second line 25 extending downwardly from the lower end of the first line 23 to the side edge 9 (FIG. 2). The perforations 27 are provided on the front surface side portion 13 and the back surface side portion 15 simultaneously or by penetrating the front surface side portion 13 and the back surface side portion 15 (FIG. 1). The perforation 27 is rounded at the intersection 38 of the first line 23 and the second line 25, and the root of the top side portion 13 and the back side portion 15 of the ceiling portion 37 is easy. It is designed not to be broken. The second line 25 is set so that an extension line 29 to the other side in the width direction passes through a corner 31 on the other side in the width direction of the upper end portion (FIG. 2). Further, the water inlet forming portion 21 has a perforation 35 for cutting along the arc 33 with the corner 31 as a center or a base point at the corner on the other side in the width direction of the upper end, for example, the front side 13 and the back side. 15 is formed at the same time or by penetrating the front surface side portion 13 and the back surface side portion 15 (FIGS. 1 and 2). The radius of the arc 33 is from 1/4 to 1/2 of the length of the first line 23, or to 1/3 of the length of the first line 23, or the height of the lower end of the second line 25. It is set from 1/10 to 1/14. For example, the width of the bag 17 can be about 56 mm, the height from the lower edge 11 to the lower end of the second line 25 can be 60 mm, and the radius of the arc 33 can be 5 mm.

  A ceiling portion 37 is provided at the upper end portion of the portable cup 1 between the water supply port forming portion 19 and the water inlet forming portion 21, and the ceiling side (bridge) 37 allows the surface side portion 13 in use.
