However, in bag packaging, if the filled fluid (contents) is not to be used after being divided into small portions, the contents easily overflow once opened, which is inconvenient for handling and storage. Therefore, the contents are usually transferred to a rigid container after opening and used. Therefore, it is extremely inconvenient compared to packaging using a rigid container such as a PET bottle. Furthermore, beverages filled in bags, etc.
When transferred to another container or the like, there is a problem such as propagation of various bacteria in the transferred other container, which is not preferable from the viewpoint of hygiene.

[0005] The present invention has been made as a result of various studies to further enhance the advantages of packaging a fluid using a bag made of polyethylene or the like, and an object of the present invention is to simplify the fluid filled in a flexible bag. An object of the present invention is to provide a mantle container which can be handled and which can be sealed even after the bag is opened and which can be sealed securely. Another object of the present invention is to provide an outer container that can be handled hygienically even after opening a bag filled with a beverage or the like.

[0006]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, a bag-packed fluid envelope according to the present invention comprises a bag filled with a fluid filled in a flexible bag having a substantially flat rectangular shape.

And sealing means for sealing an unsealed portion on the upper end side of the bag, wherein the sealing means is provided on one of the lid members.
It is characterized in that the bag is sandwiched and fitted by the groove of the strip and the one projection formed on the other lid member.

That is, in the above-mentioned mantle container, when the easily deformable fluid (package) filled in the flexible bag is loaded from the upper half of the box divided into two parts, the box remains in the bag as the fluid. Is stored according to the box. Further, when the two lid members constituting the upper half of the box are closed, the bag holding structure provided inside the upper ends of these lid members holds the bag so as to hang it, The stop means is fitted with one groove with one projection sandwiching the opened portion on the upper end side of the bag. As a result, the opened portion on the upper end side of the bag is sealed, and overflow of the fluid is prevented.

In the above outer container, if one groove is constituted by two parallel ribs which can be elastically deformed, when the groove and the projection are fitted with the opening portion of the bag interposed therebetween, the sealing is performed. The means exerts a stronger sealing force by the restoring elastic force of the two parallel ribs.

In each of the above aspects, the one groove and the one protrusion constituting the sealing means are provided so as to be gradually inclined downward from the top of the box to the side. Thereby, the opened portion of the bag whose upper end corner is cut off obliquely can be properly sealed along the opening.
