BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a liquid pot in a bag, and more particularly to a liquid pot in a bag for storing a liquid product in which a liquid content is sealed in a flexible bag and pouring the liquid. It is about.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art At present, there are various types of containers for soft drinks and liquid seasonings. Among them, so-called PET bottles are widely used because they are very lightweight for their large capacity. I have.

[0003]

The used PET bottles are recycled as plastic resources or recycled as fiber raw materials through the collection company, but they are discarded as garbage. There are many. In any of these cases, the plastic bottle is made relatively strong in strength, so that even if the contents become empty, the size of the plastic bottle remains in its initial shape. Therefore, since it is very bulky, a large burden is imposed on the collection, and even in the case of recycling, there is a problem that it is necessary to crush flat or to cut it into small pieces, which is troublesome. In addition, recently, a law that imposes a high rate of tax on businesses that fill PET bottles with soft drinks, etc., is expected to be imposed by law, and the use of PET bottles itself has been regulated. Are coming.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS A bagged liquid pot 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. First,
Example 3 of bagged beverage used in bagged liquid pot 1
(See FIGS. 2 to 4). The packaged beverage 3 is formed by enclosing a beverage 7 such as soft drink or mineral water in a flexible bag 5. The bag 5 is made of a two-layer film in which a nylon outer film having a thickness of 15 microns and a polyethylene inner film having a thickness of 60 microns are bonded. Accordingly, the bag 5 has a flat rectangular shape in the empty state, and after filling the beverage 7 into the vinyl bag 5, the opening portion is heat-sealed to complete the bagged beverage 3, and the relatively thick substantially rectangular shape is obtained. It has a flat pillow shape. Reference numeral 9 denotes a seal portion of the vinyl bag 5.

As the material of the bag 5, in addition to those described above, polypropylene (OPP, CPP, etc.), an ultraviolet ray prevention film (KOP), a substance obtained by bonding nylon to an ultraviolet ray prevention film (K nylon), and CPP and aluminum foil are used. /
Alternatively, a material obtained by bonding OPP is conceivable.

Reference numeral 11 denotes a perforated cut line provided on the bag 5, and the cut line 11 extends so that one corner 13 including one end of one seal portion 9 can be cut into a triangle. By tearing the bag 5 along the perforated line 11, the spout 14 is formed at the corner 13 (see FIG. 3).
Is formed.

The bagged liquid pot 1 has a peripheral wall 17 and a bottom wall 19.
Is a transparent synthetic resin, for example, polypropylene (P
P), polyethylene (PE), polystyrene (PS), etc., are integrally molded, and have a container shape with an open top. As shown in FIG. 3, the volume of the internal space 21 of the bagged liquid pot 1 has a size such that most of the bagged beverage 3 except for one end portion fits completely without any gap. The peripheral wall 17 has a substantially track shape when viewed from above and below, and its horizontal cross section is gradually narrowed downward, and its upper end 23 has a step 25 with respect to the remaining portion and is large. The step 25 is formed on the peripheral wall 1.
The thickness is substantially the same as the thickness of No. 7. The outer width of the peripheral wall 17 is such that it can be gripped by an average adult hand in a U-shaped state.

The bottom wall 19 has two circular holes 27 formed therein. On the lower surface of the bottom wall 19 is formed a small ridge 29 extending along the outer periphery thereof.
9 is partially cut off. Reference numeral 31 denotes a ridge-like scale provided on a flat surface of the peripheral wall 17 and is arranged in the height direction. Reference numeral 33 denotes a slit formed in the peripheral wall 17, and the slit 33 is provided at each intermediate position of a portion of the upper end 23 of the peripheral wall 17 that extends in an arc shape facing each other, and the upper end thereof is located at the upper edge of the peripheral wall 17. And the lower end ends at a middle portion of the upper end 23 in the height direction.

A method of using the bagged liquid pot 1 configured as described above will be described (see FIGS. 3 to 5). First, the bagged beverage 3 is put into the bagged liquid pot 1 in such a manner that the cut line 11 is directed upward. At this time, although the bag 5 is substantially in close contact with the inner peripheral surface of the peripheral wall 17, the air in the bag-containing liquid pot 1 is pushed out through the hole 27, so that the bag-containing beverage 3 can be moved as it is or up and down. And fits smoothly into the liquid pot 1 in the bag.

Then, the upper sealing portion 9 of the bagged beverage 3
, That is, the corner 35 including the end opposite to the cut-off line 11 is pushed into one of the slits 33 of the bag-filled liquid pot 1 and clamped. Thereby, the bagged beverage 3 is removably fixed to the bagged liquid pot 1, and the bagged beverage 3 does not fall out of the bagged liquid pot 1 simply by tilting at least the bagged liquid pot 1.
Therefore, in handling, the beverage 7 in the bagged beverage product 3 is in a state substantially similar to the state where the beverage 7 is transferred to the bagged liquid pot 1.

Next, a part of the bag 5 of the beverage 3 in a bag is cut out along the cutting line 11 to form a spout 14.
In this state, the bagged liquid pot 1 is gripped as shown in FIG. 3 and the beverage 7 of the bagged beverage 3 is poured out arbitrarily. At this time, the step 25 acts as a slipper for the hand holding the peripheral wall 25. And when the pouring is finished, the spout 1 of the bag 5
The spout is sealed by pushing the vicinity of the corner 13 with 4 into another slit 33 and pinching it. Drink 7 again
When pouring out, pick around the spout and slit 3
Just remove it from 3. The remaining amount of the beverage 7 can be recognized by reading the scale 31 corresponding to the water level. When the beverage 7 is empty, remove the bag 5.

When there are two or more bagged liquid pots 1, they can be compactly stored by stacking them as shown in FIG. 5, and the space can be saved by combining them in the distribution process.

Although the embodiment of the present invention has been described in detail above, the specific configuration is not limited to this embodiment, and there is a change in design without departing from the gist of the present invention. Are also included in the present invention. For example, in the embodiment, the shape of the peripheral wall is formed in a track shape when viewed from above, but this shape may be an oval shape or any other shape as long as the bagged liquid product can be stored in almost the same form. Such a shape may be used. The outer shape may be any shape as long as it is easy to grasp, and in some cases, a handle may be provided. Further, the position where the hole is provided is not limited to the bottom wall, but may be at the lower end of the peripheral wall,
Further, it may be provided on both the bottom wall and the peripheral wall. Needless to say, the material of the bag of the liquid product in the bag or the material of the liquid pot in the bag does not need to be limited to the above-described types.

[0020]

According to the present invention, by simply holding one corner of the bag of the liquid product in the bag with one slit, the liquid product in the bag can be transferred without transferring the contents to another container. As it is, it can be handled repeatedly as if it were a bottled liquid product, and it is not bulky as garbage because only the bag containing the liquid is disposable. Then, the spout of the bag of the bagged liquid product can be sealed by simply clamping another corner where the bag is formed with another slit.

According to the second aspect of the present invention, since at least the peripheral wall is transparent, the remaining amount of the contents of the stored bagged liquid product can be easily visually recognized from the outside.

According to the third aspect of the present invention, since the hole is formed in the lower end portion or the bottom wall of the peripheral wall, when storing the liquid product in the bag, the bag of the liquid product in the bag is substantially in close contact with the inner peripheral surface of the peripheral wall. Even so, the air inside the bagged liquid pot is pushed out through the hole, so that the bagged liquid product can be smoothly contained in the bagged liquid pot.

According to the fourth aspect of the present invention, since the non-slip means is provided on the outer surface of the peripheral wall, the gripped state is stably maintained.
