2. Description of the Related Art Containers for dispensing liquids, such as detergents and shampoos, are widely used. However, disposable containers not only increase the cost burden of consumers, but also increase the volume of trash and waste. Since it goes against the trend of material reduction, the contents have been refilled and reused. Conventionally, the refilling of the contents has been carried out by directly pouring the liquid contained in the refill pack into the empty bottle shell, but this refilling work is troublesome and the liquid is put out of the bottle shell. There was a problem that spills and the surroundings were often soiled. Therefore, for example, as in Japanese Patent Application Nos. 4-321070 and 6-177359, a refillable pack is used as a cartridge bottle and is directly put into a bottle shell, and a part of the pack is connected to a tube connected to the outside of the bottle shell. A liquid dispensing container of the type used by piercing a container has been proposed.

In such a conventional cartridge bottle, a bag manufactured by bonding the edges of a plurality of resin films to each other is used. Therefore, the shape of the cartridge bottle can be adjusted to the shape inside the bottle shell. It is difficult, and there is a problem that a wasteful space is created between the inner surface of the bottle shell and the cartridge bottle accommodated therein, and the bottle shell becomes larger than the volume of the liquid. In addition, the place where the tube of the cartridge bottle is pierced is formed of a laminated film in which an unstretched nylon film and an olefin-based film are laminated in order to prevent the bag from tearing and leaking liquid after the tube is pierced. I have. Since this laminate film is expensive, if the area of the surface where the tube can be pierced is large, the cost is increased if the whole is made of the laminate film.
