Description
本発明は、非閉鎖時の漏れが防止される開口部を有する注出口を備えた流動性製品用容器に関する。 The present invention relates to a container for a flowable product having a spout having an opening that prevents leakage when not closed.
本発明の対象とする分野では、「流動性」は、20℃のときに1Pa・sよりも低い粘度を有する液体製品又は半液体製品を包含することを意図している。 In the field covered by the present invention, “fluidity” is intended to encompass liquid or semi-liquid products having a viscosity of less than 1 Pa · s at 20 ° C.
本発明の容器は、食用製品を収容する場合に特に有利である。しかし、本発明の範囲は、そのような食用製品のみに限定されず、漂白剤、柔軟剤製品、家庭用洗剤など、仕上げ剤及び洗浄剤製品などの非食用製品にも適用され得る。 The container of the present invention is particularly advantageous when containing edible products. However, the scope of the present invention is not limited to such edible products but can also be applied to non-edible products such as finishes and detergent products such as bleach, softener products and household detergents.
本発明による容器に収容可能な流体食用製品のいくつかの例が、それに対応する粘度とともに以下の表1に挙げられている。
流動性製品、特に飲食品を歩きながら摂取する場合、包装の解決手段は通常、たとえば、ねじ蓋のような閉鎖要素によって再び閉めることが可能な注出口を備えた容器を含む。そのような包装は、広く知られており、消費者が内容物を適切な流量で注出するのを可能にする。 When taking fluid products, especially food and drink while walking, packaging solutions usually include a container with a spout that can be closed again by a closure element such as, for example, a screw cap. Such packaging is widely known and allows the consumer to dispense the contents at an appropriate flow rate.
しかし、注出を確実なものにし且つ適切な流量を確保するために、容器は、注出口が閉まっていないときに、容器が傾斜した場合、或いは一般に、内容物が注出口に接触した場合、内容物がこぼれる可能性があるようになっている。そのような場合、内容物は注出口から外に直接流れ出す。 However, in order to ensure dispensing and to ensure proper flow rate, the container should not be closed when the outlet is not closed, when the container is tilted, or generally when the contents are in contact with the outlet. The contents can be spilled. In such cases, the contents flow directly out of the spout.
この弱点を解消するために、一般に閉鎖体の残りの部分から取り外せない閉鎖要素を押すことによって容易に閉めることのできる注出流路を備えるいわゆる「スポーツボトル用閉鎖体」が開発されている。そのようなスポーツボトル用閉鎖体は広く知られており、たとえばプッシュプル式閉鎖体、ヒンジ付き閉鎖体のような様々なシステムが提案されている。しかし、そのような閉鎖体は製造が複雑であり且つコストがかかり、したがって、特に、内容量が限定された製品を歩きながら摂取するための容器である場合、消費者向けの製品の価格が高くなる。さらに、そのような閉鎖体はその様々な部品に大量の材料を必要とする。さらに、1つの主要な弱点は、そのようなスポーツボトル用キャップを消費者が閉じなかった場合、キャップから漏れが生じることである。 In order to overcome this weakness, so-called “sport bottle closures” have been developed that comprise a dispensing channel that can be easily closed by pushing a closure element that is generally not removable from the rest of the closure. Such sports bottle closures are widely known, and various systems such as push-pull closures and hinged closures have been proposed. However, such closures are complex and costly to manufacture, so the price of consumer products is high, especially if they are containers for ingesting products with limited internal capacity. Become. Furthermore, such closures require large amounts of material for their various parts. In addition, one major weakness is that if the consumer does not close such a sports bottle cap, the cap will leak.
スポーツボトル用閉鎖体の弱点に起因して、スリット弁のようなエラストマ弁を備える別の種類の閉鎖体が開発された。そのような弁閉鎖体は信頼性が高く、食品包装業界においてそのような弁閉鎖体が使用されることが多くなっており、たとえば蜂蜜、ケチャップなどを詰めるのに使用されている。非常に重要な1つの特有の利点は、そのような閉鎖体が必ずしも弁を密封するための追加のオーバーキャップを必要としないことである。言い換えれば、注出後に再閉鎖するのに十分な弾力性が弁自体にあり、したがって、容器が傾斜した場合でも、弁の内面に接触している内容物が漏れることはない。このことは明らかに消費者にとって利点となる。 Due to the weaknesses of sports bottle closures, another type of closure with an elastomeric valve such as a slit valve has been developed. Such valve closures are reliable and are increasingly used in the food packaging industry, such as stuffing honey, ketchup, and the like. One particular advantage that is very important is that such closures do not necessarily require an additional overcap to seal the valve. In other words, the valve itself is elastic enough to reclose after dispensing, so that even if the container is tilted, the contents in contact with the inner surface of the valve will not leak. This is clearly an advantage for consumers.
しかし、そのようなスリット弁は、閉鎖体用のいくつかの材料が必要であるので製造コストがかかり、すなわち、閉鎖体本体は一般にポリエチレン又はポリプロピレンから作られ、スリット弁自体は、閉鎖体本体に組み付けられるか又は閉鎖体本体と同時注入されなければならないシリコン又はその他の同様の弾力性材料で作られる。 However, such slit valves are expensive to manufacture because some material for the closure is required, i.e. the closure body is generally made of polyethylene or polypropylene, and the slit valve itself is attached to the closure body. Made of silicon or other similar resilient material that must be assembled or co-injected with the closure body.
ポリエチレンなどの熱可塑性物質を押出ブロー成形することによって作られる単一部材フラスコである他の種類の容器が知られている。そのような容器は、取外し可能な先端と一体に製造される容器本体を備える。ユーザによって先端がはぎ取られると、容器壁に非常に小さい注出開口部が形成され、内容物の注出が可能になる。そのような容器は、たとえば洗眼液(すなわち、点耳剤又は点眼剤)によって局部を治療するための1回量(単回量)を供給するために薬品業界において広く使用されている。そのような洗眼剤用の単回量容器は、内容物が液体であるか、又は少なくとも高い流動性を有するが、注出開口部の内面に接触している場合でも注出開口部から漏れない利点を有する。しかし、このような洗眼剤用の単回量容器は、製造プロセス及び構造に起因して、たとえば、10mlを超え、好ましくは50mlを超える内容物を有する容器を必要とする食品業界の消費者向け製品には明らかに適合しない通常5ml未満の非常に少ない内容量にしか適していない、という明白な不利点を有する。 Another type of container is known which is a single member flask made by extrusion blow molding a thermoplastic material such as polyethylene. Such containers include a container body that is manufactured integrally with a removable tip. When the tip is peeled off by the user, a very small dispensing opening is formed in the container wall, and the contents can be poured out. Such containers are widely used in the pharmaceutical industry to provide a single dose for treating the topical area, for example with eyewash (ie ear drops or eye drops). Such eye wash single dose containers are liquid, or at least have a high fluidity, but do not leak from the dispensing opening even when in contact with the inner surface of the dispensing opening. Have advantages. However, such single-dose containers for eyewashes are intended for food industry consumers who require containers with contents of, for example, more than 10 ml, preferably more than 50 ml, due to the manufacturing process and structure. It has the obvious disadvantage that it is only suitable for very small internal volumes, usually less than 5 ml, which are not clearly compatible with the product.
したがって、飲食品のような流体の消費者向け商品の摂取に適合する内容量(すなわち、通常10mlを超え、好ましくは50mlを超え、より好ましくは25clを超える)を有し、製造コストがかからない大形容器が必要である。 Therefore, it has an internal volume (that is, usually more than 10 ml, preferably more than 50 ml, more preferably more than 25 cl) that is compatible with the intake of fluid consumer goods such as food and drink, and has a large production cost. A shaped container is required.
そのような容器は、注出時に十分な流量を許容すべきであるが、同時に、注出開口部が閉鎖システムによって閉まっていないとき、且つ容器が傾斜しそれによって内容物が注出開口部の内側と接触するときでも、内容物の漏れを防止すべきであることが重要である。 Such containers should allow a sufficient flow rate at the time of dispensing, but at the same time when the dispensing opening is not closed by the closure system and the container is tilted so that the contents of the dispensing opening It is important that the contents should be prevented from leaking even when in contact with the inside.
上記に記載された目的は、本発明によって達成され、本発明は、20℃のときに1Pa・sよりも低い(好ましくは500mPa・sよりも低く、より好ましくは100mPa・sよりも低い)粘度を有する流動性液体、半液体、又はゼリー状の製品を収容するための少なくとも1つの区画を有する変形可能な容器本体と、製品を注出するために注出口要素に配置される少なくとも1つの注出開口部とを具備し、容量が少なくとも10mlであり、好ましくは少なくとも50mlである容器を提供し、少なくとも1つの開口部の機能断面積が、一定であり、且つ0.002mm2〜7mm2であり、好ましくは0.008mm2〜0.8mm2であり、より好ましくは0.03mm2〜0.4mm2であり、最も好ましくは0.07mm2〜0.2mm2であり、したがって、少なくとも0.5kgの外力、好ましくは少なくとも1kgの外力、より好ましくは少なくとも3kgの外力が、容器本体の内部に向けて容器本体壁に加えられた後にのみ製品が注出開口部を通って流動することを特徴とする。 The objects described above are achieved by the present invention, which is less than 1 Pa · s (preferably less than 500 mPa · s, more preferably less than 100 mPa · s) at 20 ° C. A deformable container body having at least one compartment for containing a flowable liquid, semi-liquid or jelly-like product having at least one note disposed on the spout element for pouring the product out comprises an opening, the capacity of at least 10 ml, preferably provide a container which is at least 50 ml, functional cross-sectional area of the at least one opening is a constant, and at 0.002mm 2 ~7mm 2 There, preferably 0.008 mm 2 to 0.8 mm 2, more preferably 0.03 mm 2 0.4 mm 2, most preferably 0.07m 2 ~0.2Mm is 2, therefore, at least 0.5kg of an external force, preferably at least 1kg of force, more preferably an external force of at least 3kg is, after being added to the vessel body wall toward the inside of the container body only The product is characterized by flowing through the dispensing opening.
「機能断面積」は、注出開口部の中空の内部断面積を意味する。 “Functional cross-sectional area” means the hollow internal cross-sectional area of the dispensing opening.
容器本体の表面に加えられた圧力は容器本体の表面全体にわたって均等に分散されると仮定されるので、容器本体の表面に加えられる変形が容器本体の表面に加えられた力に起因するものとして表されることに留意されたい。 Since the pressure applied to the surface of the container body is assumed to be evenly distributed throughout the surface of the container body, the deformation applied to the surface of the container body is due to the force applied to the surface of the container body. Note that it is represented.
本発明の非常に好ましい実施形態において、容器は、少なくとも6個、好ましくは少なくとも12個、より好ましくは少なくとも18個である複数の注出開口部を含む。 In a highly preferred embodiment of the invention, the container comprises a plurality of dispensing openings that are at least 6, preferably at least 12, more preferably at least 18.
また、容器は、注出口要素に結合された閉鎖システムをさらに具備することが好ましい。その場合、閉鎖システムは、手ではぎ取ることのできる開封明示手段を具備すると有利である。 The container preferably further comprises a closure system coupled to the spout element. In that case, it is advantageous if the closure system comprises a tamper-evident means that can be peeled off by hand.
開封明示手段は、たとえば、開口部を通して容器の内容物に通ずるために、閉鎖システムをはぎ取ることができるように配設されたレーザ刻設プレカットであってもよい。 The tamper-evident means may be, for example, a laser engraved precut arranged so that the closure system can be peeled off in order to communicate the contents of the container through the opening.
変形可能な容器本体は、可撓性のフィルムパウチであってもよく、又は代替として、厚さが200ミクロンよりも小さく、好ましくは100ミクロンよりも小さい少なくとも1つの部分を有する壁を備えたプラスチック製のボトルであってもよい。 The deformable container body may be a flexible film pouch, or alternatively a plastic with a wall having at least one portion having a thickness of less than 200 microns, preferably less than 100 microns. It may be a made bottle.
後者の場合、ボトルは、PET(ポリエチレンテレフタラート)又はPEN(ポリエチレンナフタラート)で作られ、それぞれPETプリフォーム又はPENプリフォームから延伸ブロー成形プロセスによって製造されることが好ましい。 In the latter case, the bottle is preferably made of PET (polyethylene terephthalate) or PEN (polyethylene naphthalate) and is produced from a PET preform or PEN preform, respectively, by a stretch blow molding process.
さらに別の場合、変形可能な容器本体は、力が加えられたときに変形することができる蛇腹を有する変形可能な少なくとも1つのアコーディオン状部分を備えるボトルであってもよい。 In yet another case, the deformable container body may be a bottle with at least one deformable accordion-like portion having a bellows that can be deformed when a force is applied.
本発明の上述の実施形態のすべてにおいて、少なくとも1つの注出開口部の各々は、0.1mm〜20mmの長さ、好ましくは0.5mm〜10mmの長さ、より好ましくは1mm〜7mmの長さを有する流路の形をとってもよい。 In all of the above embodiments of the present invention, each of the at least one dispensing opening is 0.1 mm to 20 mm long, preferably 0.5 mm to 10 mm long, more preferably 1 mm to 7 mm long. It may take the form of a channel having a thickness.
本発明のさらなる特徴及び利点は、以下に図面に関連して記載された現在好ましい実施形態についての説明に記載されており、且つこの説明から明らかになろう。 Additional features and advantages of the present invention are described in, and will be apparent from, the description of the presently preferred embodiments described below in connection with the drawings.
本発明は、容器本体2内部に収容された流体製品の注出を可能にし、且つ注出開口部が開放され、流体製品が注出開口部の内面に接触するように容器が配設されたときに、流体製品が注出開口部を通して漏れずに容器内部に保持されるのを可能にするように構成され設計された注出開口部を備える容器1を対象とする。
In the present invention, the fluid product accommodated in the
図1に示す容器1は、20℃のときに1Pa・sよりも低い粘度を有する流動性液体、半液体、又はゼリー状の製品を収容するための1つの区画を有する変形可能な容器本体2を備える。
A
図1に示す容器本体は可撓性のフィルムパウチ2である。
The container body shown in FIG. 1 is a
図1に示すように、注出口要素3が容器パウチ本体2に取り付けられている。注出口要素は、ポリエチレン(PE)又はポリプロピレン(PP)などの熱可塑性物質で作られた射出成形要素である。注出口要素は、フィルムパウチ2によって密封され、したがって、漏れが防止される基部を備える。
As shown in FIG. 1, the
図3に示すように、注出口要素3は、注出口の高さ方向に延びてパウチの内部と外部との流体連通を確立する複数の開口部を備える。本発明によれば、注出開口部の機能断面積は一定であり、且つ0.002mm2〜7mm2であり、好ましくは0.008mm2〜0.8mm2であり、より好ましくは0.03mm2〜0.4mm2であり、最も好ましくは0.07mm2〜0.2mm2であり、したがって、少なくとも0.5kgの外力、好ましくは少なくとも1kgの外力、より好ましくは少なくとも3kgの外力が、容器本体の内部に向けて容器本体壁に加えられた後にのみ製品が注出開口部を通って流動する。
As shown in FIG. 3, the
図3に示す注出開口部は、円形の機能断面を有し、且つ長さが約15mmである直線状の流路である。いくつかの代替実施形態では、流路は湾曲していても、傾斜した部分を備えていてもよい。 The extraction opening shown in FIG. 3 is a linear flow path having a circular functional cross section and a length of about 15 mm. In some alternative embodiments, the flow path may be curved or may have a sloped portion.
注出開口部の数は、パウチに収容される製品の粘度に応じ、さらに得なければならない注出流、すなわち、内容物の用途の種類に応じて選択される。たとえば、注出流は、たとえば料理用ソースのような粘度の高い製品の場合はより低速であってもよく、一方、ミネラルウォーターのような液体は、適切に喉の渇きを癒せるように十分に速く流れることができるべきである。 The number of dispensing openings is selected according to the viscosity of the product contained in the pouch and further depending on the type of dispensing flow to be obtained, ie the content application. For example, the pouring flow may be slower for a viscous product such as a cooking sauce, while a liquid such as mineral water is sufficient to adequately heal thirst Should be able to flow fast.
通常、注出開口部の数は6の倍数であってもよいが必ずしもそうでなくてもよい。図3に示す例では、注出開口部の数は7つである。 Usually, the number of extraction openings may be a multiple of 6, but not necessarily. In the example shown in FIG. 3, the number of extraction openings is seven.
図2に示す代替実施形態では、容器本体は、たとえば、射出されたプリフォームを延伸ブロー成形することによって得られるブロー成形されたポリエチレンテレフタラート(PET)材料で作られた非常に薄い壁を有するボトル5である。本発明によれば、ボトル壁6は可撓性であり、手で絞ることによって変形させることができる。したがって、ボトルの壁厚は100μm未満であることが好ましい。
In an alternative embodiment shown in FIG. 2, the container body has a very thin wall made of, for example, blow molded polyethylene terephthalate (PET) material obtained by stretch blow molding an injected preform.
この実施形態では、注出口要素3は、漏れが生じないようにボトル本体に留められるか、密封されるか、或いは同様に取り付けられる。
In this embodiment, the
本発明のすべての実施形態において、開口部の数を増やすことによって、機能断面積が小さいにもかかわらず、変形可能な容器本体に加えられる力に応じ、さらに容器本体に収容される製品の粘度及び変形可能な容器の可撓性に応じて、かなり良好な流量を実現することが可能であることは明らかなはずである。 In all embodiments of the present invention, by increasing the number of openings, the viscosity of the product contained in the container body according to the force applied to the deformable container body despite the small functional cross-sectional area. It should be apparent that fairly good flow rates can be achieved depending on the flexibility of the deformable container.
いずれの場合も、変形可能な容器本体を製造するのに使用される材料は、消費者による製品の適切な注出を確実にするのに十分な流量を実現できるような材料であり、そのような流量値は、適切であり、すなわち、大人、十代、成人及び高齢者による容器の使用に適合する握力を容器本体壁に加えることによって実現され得る。 In any case, the material used to manufacture the deformable container body is such that a flow rate sufficient to ensure proper dispensing of the product by the consumer, such as The correct flow value is appropriate, i.e. it can be achieved by applying a grip force to the container body wall that is compatible with the use of the container by adults, teens, adults and the elderly.
本発明によれば、許容される流量は、50ml/分〜5000ml/分の範囲であり、好ましくは100ml/分〜1000ml/分の範囲であり、より好ましくは200ml/分〜500ml/分の範囲内であるべきである。 According to the present invention, the acceptable flow rate is in the range of 50 ml / min to 5000 ml / min, preferably in the range of 100 ml / min to 1000 ml / min, more preferably in the range of 200 ml / min to 500 ml / min. Should be within.
さらに、本発明によれば、容器本体の壁に加えるべき適切な力は以下のように定義される。
最小の力は、1kg〜5kgの範囲内であり、好ましくは2kg〜4kgの範囲内であり、より好ましくは約3kgに設定される。そのような値では、体積が約3リットル未満の非常に流動性の高い製品(たとえば水)の場合、重力のみによって流動が生じることはなくなる。
最大の力は、20kg〜40kgの範囲内であり、好ましくは25kg〜35kgの範囲内であり、好ましくは約30kgに設定される。試験によれば、30kgは十代又は成人が達成するには非常に強い握力であり、幼児又は老人では間違いなく達成不可能である。
Furthermore, according to the present invention, the appropriate force to be applied to the wall of the container body is defined as follows:
The minimum force is in the range of 1 kg to 5 kg, preferably in the range of 2 kg to 4 kg, more preferably about 3 kg. At such values, in the case of a very fluid product (eg water) with a volume of less than about 3 liters, there will be no flow due to gravity alone.
The maximum force is in the range of 20 kg to 40 kg, preferably in the range of 25 kg to 35 kg, preferably about 30 kg. According to tests, 30 kg is a very strong grip for teens or adults to achieve and is definitely not achievable for infants or the elderly.
力は、以下のような試験器具、方法、及び条件を使用して測定される。すなわち、パウチを平坦面に置き、支持プレートに様々な重りを載せることによってパウチに一様な力を加える。 The force is measured using test equipment, methods and conditions as follows. That is, a uniform force is applied to the pouch by placing the pouch on a flat surface and placing various weights on the support plate.
容器本体の表面に様々な力が加えられたときに実現される流量の例を以下の表2に示す。この場合、容器本体に収容される製品は20℃の水(粘度は1.002mPa・sである)である。容器本体は、体積が250mlであり、全厚さが約150μmである多層プラスチックフィルムで作られた可撓性のパウチである。注出開口部は、図3を参照して上述した実施形態と同様な円形の機能断面(すなわち、直径)を有する。
図4に示す本発明の代替実施形態において、容器1は、注出開口部の設計を除けば図3を参照して上述した容器と同様である。この実施形態では、注出開口部9は、非円形断面、より具体的には台形断面を有する。すべての開口部は、図4を見ると分かるように星形の構成に配設され、短い端部が星の中心に向けられている。
In an alternative embodiment of the invention shown in FIG. 4, the
本発明のすべての実施形態において、注出口要素3は、少なくとも製造時、充填時、及び保管中に注出開口部4を閉鎖する閉鎖システム7を備えるように構成されてもよい。その場合、注出時には、消費者が、必要に応じて摘んで回すことによって、ねじって回すことよって又はその他の同様の動作によって閉鎖システム7をはぎ取ることによって取り外すことができる。
In all embodiments of the present invention, the
たとえば、図1及び図2に示すように、閉鎖システム7は、注出口要素3の一体的な遠位要素として製造され、したがって、脆弱ライン8に沿って取り外すことができる。遠位閉鎖システム7を取り外した後、注出口3は図3に示すようになり、すなわち、注出開口部が開放され、容器本体を絞ることによって製品を注出する準備が整う。
For example, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the
図5a〜図5cは、閉鎖システム7が容器の所定の位置にあるときの、閉鎖システム7を有する注出口要素3の斜視図に相当する注出口要素の全体図(図5a)、図5aの注出口要素3の断面図(図5b)、及び遠位閉鎖システム7がその脆弱ライン8に沿ってはぎ取られ注出開口部4が現れている、図5aの注出口要素3及び閉鎖システム7の断面図(図5c)である。
5a to 5c show an overall view of the spout element (FIG. 5a), corresponding to the perspective view of the
図5a〜図5cによれば、注出口要素3は、はぎ取り可能部分10(注出口要素3の遠位部)と、容器1上に密封された二重注入成形部11とを有する2部品構成キャップとして製造される。
According to FIGS. 5 a to 5 c, the
二重注入成形部は、ポリエチレン(PE)−ポリエチレンテレフタラート(PET)によって作られることが好ましいが、他の材料によって作られてもよい。 The double injection molded part is preferably made of polyethylene (PE) -polyethylene terephthalate (PET), but may be made of other materials.
容器の注出口要素の密封は、材料の弾性によって確保される。 The sealing of the container spout element is ensured by the elasticity of the material.
消費者が製品を取り出したいときは、閉鎖システム7の遠位部を脆弱ライン8に沿ってはぎ取り、次いで、閉鎖システム7の遠位部を注出口要素3から分離する。
When the consumer wants to remove the product, the distal portion of the
次いで、注出開口部4にアクセス可能となり、容器に収容された製品を消費者に注出する準備が整う。
The dispensing
現在の実施形態では、注出口要素は、良好な成形特性が得られるように穴なしで成形される。穴は、たとえば、マイクロニードル又はレーザを用いた微小穿孔によって組立てステップ時に形成される。 In the current embodiment, the spout element is molded without holes to obtain good molding properties. The holes are formed during the assembly step, for example by micro-drilling using microneedles or lasers.
図6は、注出口要素3の閉鎖システム7が2つの層13a及び13bを備える2層蓋12で作られる本発明の別の実施形態を示す。
FIG. 6 shows another embodiment of the invention in which the
第1の層13a(上部層)は、保護機能を有する剥離可能な層であり、容器1の開封明示機能を果たす。現在の実施形態では、第1の層13aは、第1の層13aの剥離を助ける把持タブ14を有する。その場合、この第1の層13aは剥離可能層として定義される。
The
第2の層13b(下部層)は、容器1上に密封され、注出開口部4としての複数の穴が穿孔される。各穴は、製品の液体流を容器から排出されるときに制限し、容器に加えられる所定の圧力の下では製品を排出させない。その場合、この第2の層13bは注出層として定義される。
The
たとえば、各穴は直径が0.2mmであり、互いに約1mmの間隔を置いて配置される。これは一例に過ぎず、排出すべき製品の特性に応じて他の直径を選択してもよい。 For example, each hole has a diameter of 0.2 mm and is spaced about 1 mm from each other. This is only an example, and other diameters may be selected depending on the characteristics of the product to be discharged.
2層蓋12は、充填後に容器の首部上に密封され、包装の密封性を確保する。
The two-
製品を摂取する場合、消費者は、上部層13aを剥離し、次いで容器の首部に残っている下部層13bを露出させ、注出開口部4を露出させる。次いで、製品を摂取する準備が整う。
When ingesting the product, the consumer peels off the
