2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, there has been an increasing demand for reducing the volume and volume of waste due to the scale of the global environment. In particular, there is an urgent need to reduce the volume and volume of plastics that do not decompose in the natural environment. Therefore, although attempts have been made to develop so-called naturally degradable plastics that are decomposed by the action of light and microorganisms, many problems still have to be solved before they are put into practical use. Nowadays, even the function of is being considered a problem. Therefore, in order to reduce the volume and volume of plastic waste, it can be said that the most effective solution in the present situation is to reduce the plastic waste or consumption itself. In this sense, consumers as well as companies need to reassess their values.

Therefore, a bottle-shaped container containing liquid detergents such as kitchen detergents, toilet detergents, shampoos and liquid foods such as cooking oil, soy sauce and sauce is "refilled" with such contents. There is a movement to use it repeatedly. This is after using these bottle-shaped containers once,
It is intended to use the bottle-shaped container several times by replenishing the contents rather than discarding it. The contents to be replenished are put in a thin bag-shaped container so that the waste at the time of disposal takes a thin sheet shape to reduce the volume and amount of the waste.

[0004]

However, in the conventional bottle-shaped container, the diameter of the mouth of the bottle-shaped container is generally smaller than that of the body because of its design or function. However, when transferring from a bag-shaped container, it is not easy to transfer the liquid to this small-diameter mouth, and there is a drawback that the liquid will leak from the mouth. It was Therefore, a bottle-like container having a large mouth portion is conceivable, but if the mouth portion is made large, it cannot be squeezed when the liquid is discharged, so that there is a functional problem. Furthermore, when transferring, it is possible to use a funnel as a separate part, but such a funnel as a separate part requires a storage space,
It has a drawback that it is already lost at the time of use and cannot be used, or it is lost after use and cannot be used again.

Therefore, the present invention has been invented in view of the above points, and an object thereof is a bottle-shaped container having a small diameter mouth portion,
Easy to refill. Can be easily refilled at the time of refilling, and liquid should not leak from the mouth. A container that functions as a container when not refilled. The storage location does not have the necessary separate parts. Be ready to refill immediately. Is.

[0006]

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention is a container comprising a body, a bottom integrally formed at one end of the body, and a mouth formed at the other end. A container comprising a main body and a hakama part fitted to the lower end of the bottom part, wherein the hakama part has a funnel-shaped part having a diameter that can be inserted into the mouth part.

[0007]

As described above, according to the present invention, since the funnel-shaped portion having the diameter that can be inserted into the mouth portion is formed in the container body and the hakama portion fitted to the lower end of the bottom portion, when used as a container. As a hakama, it contributes to the self-supporting stability of the container, and at the time of refilling, even if the container has a small diameter mouth part, insert it into the mouth part of the container to remove the detergent from the bag-shaped container etc. The liquid can be refilled beautifully and completely without leaking the liquid, and after use, it is fitted as a hakama to the bottom of the container, so it can be reused. It requires no special storage space and can be taken out and used immediately when it is reused.
