A frame body 6 made of synthetic resin having a main body 3, a first rim 4 and a second rim 5, and a frame 6 that is fixed to the rim after the filling is filled into the container main body. It consists of a lid body (not shown in the drawings) that is

The frame body 6 made of synthetic resin is made of synthetic resin containing an inorganic filler, for example, about 30% by weight.
It consists of an integral molded body of synthetic resin containing CaCO ₃ , etc., as shown in Figures 2 to 4.
Connecting the same number of rims as the number of container bodies in the multiple container 1, that is, the first rim 4 and the second rim 5, and connecting these rims 4 and 5 to each other. It is composed of a connecting part 7. Each of the mouth edges 4 and 5 includes a short cylindrical peripheral wall, a flange extending outward from the upper edge of the peripheral wall, and a flange provided around the back surface of the flange. It is composed of a convex portion. That is, the first
The mouth edge part 4 includes a short cylindrical peripheral wall part 8, a flange part 9 extending outward from the upper edge of the peripheral wall part 8, and a protruding strip part provided around the back surface of the flange part 9. 10
Similarly, the second lip portion 5 includes a short cylindrical peripheral wall portion 11, a flange portion 12 extending outward from the upper edge of the peripheral wall portion 11, and a flange portion 12.
Some of them are composed of a protruding strip 13 provided around the back surface of the holder. Further, the connecting portion 7 connecting the first mouth edge portion 4 and the second mouth edge portion 5 is connected to the first mouth edge portion 4 and the second mouth edge portion 5.
A first horizontal part 14 extends outward from a part of the flange part 9 at the mouth edge part 4, and a first horizontal part 14 extends outward from a part of the flange part 12 at the second mouth edge part 5. a second horizontal part 15 which is an extended part of the horizontal part 14 and the horizontal part 15 that connects a part of the first horizontal part 14 and a part of the second horizontal part 15; weak parts 16, 16, and three leg parts 17, 1 hanging down from the back surface of the first horizontal part 14.
7, 17, three leg portions 18, 18, 18 hanging down from the back surface of the second horizontal portion 15, and the first
The second weak part 19 connects the lower part of the leg part 17 and the lower part of the second leg part 18.

Thus, the frame 6 made of synthetic resin and the container main body 2 and the container main body 3 having the above-mentioned configuration are connected to the peripheral wall portions 8 of the edges 4 and 5 of the frame 6 made of synthetic resin.
In some cases, the outer circumferential wall surface of the circumferential wall portion 11 is in contact with the upper inner circumferential wall surfaces of the container bodies 2 and 3 and fixed by thermal bonding.

In addition, in the frame body 6 made of synthetic resin in the illustrated embodiment, protrusions 10 and 13 are provided around the back surfaces of the flange portions 9 and 12, so that the frame body 6 made of synthetic resin and the container body 2 are provided. As shown in FIG. 5, the structure is such that thermal adhesion between the flange portion 9 and the container body 3 can be completely achieved even on the back surface of the flange portion 9 and above the inner circumferential wall surface of the container body 2. The configurations of the protrusions 10 and 13 are not necessarily required.

In the multi-container container of the present invention, after a synthetic resin frame is thermally bonded to the container body, the container body is filled with an inner filler, and then a separately manufactured material is placed on the surface of the flange of the frame. By thermally bonding the lid, the container body is sealed and completed.

In the illustrated embodiment, a multiple container is shown in which the inner shape of the upper peripheral wall of the container body and the outer shape of the mouth edge of the synthetic resin frame are cylindrical. In the multi-container container of the present invention, the shape of the container body and the shape of the peripheral wall of the mouth edge of the synthetic resin frame are defined by the upper part of the inner peripheral wall surface of the container body and the mouth of the synthetic resin frame. A container body having any contour shape can be used as long as the edge portion is in contact with the outer circumferential surface of the peripheral wall portion and an adhesive portion is formed at this portion.

Further, in the illustrated embodiment, a multi-container container using two container bodies is shown, but the multi-container container of the present invention is constructed by connecting synthetic resin frames in this multi-container container. If a single container including a single rim and a single container body can be separated from each other by breaking the parts, it is a multiple type using three or more container bodies. Of course, it can also be used as a container.

The multi-container container of the present invention has the above-mentioned configuration, in which the opening edge of the synthetic resin frame has a thermally bonded portion between the upper inner circumferential walls of the plurality of container bodies. It is used as the rim of a container, and the frame made of synthetic resin is composed of an integrally molded synthetic resin containing an inorganic filler, and the connecting part of the frame is made of a first fragile material. and a second weakened part formed below the first weakened part, so that when the consumer simultaneously pushes up both outer sides of the adjacent mouth edges, the second weakened part The weakened part of the container is easily destroyed, and then by pressing down both outer sides of the mouth edge simultaneously, the first weakened part is easily destroyed and the container can be separated into a single container.
Not only is it easy to handle at the distribution stage, but it also has the effect of allowing consumers to easily handle the container when consuming the filling.

In addition, the multi-container of the present invention is a system in which a large number of sealed containers are lined up in a predetermined tight state after being filled with the contents, and the containers are connected from above using a connecting tool. Such complicated operations are not required, and the ease of handling in a state in which a large number of containers are connected can be utilized in the distribution stage and the filling process from the container manufacturing process to the filling process.

Furthermore, in the multi-container container of the present invention, the connection between the synthetic resin frame and the container body that connects the container bodies to each other is the lower inner circumferential wall surface of the upper opening of the container body and the mouth edge of the frame. Since it is thermally bonded to the outer circumferential surface of the container, even if the container body becomes heavy due to the filling,
It can be handled stably in exactly the same way as an empty container before filling.
