Abstract
A bag includes a bag body having first and second sides (11 c , 11 d) to meet each other, and a third side (11 e) extending obliquely to the first and second sides (11 c , 11 d) and defining an opening; a spout unit (13) having an apex (13 a) projecting from the third side and defining a corner, and a zipper (15); and a recessed portion (17A, 17B, 18A, 18B) positioned away from the zipper (15) and formed on at least one of the first and second sides (11 c , 11 d).
Description
- The invention relates to a zippered bag including a zipper openable or closable of a spout portion.
- There are known various packaging bags each having a spout portion fitted with a zipper openable or closable of the spout portion. In them, for facilitating discharge of a content, for example, a packaging bag as shown in Patent Document 1 is disclosed, where the upper corner of the packaging bag functions as a spout portion. The packaging bag as shown in Patent Document 1 has a spout portion formed by obliquely opening the upper corner. This packaging bag includes, inside of the spout outlet to be opened, a zipper which is openable or closable of the spout portion.
- In the packaging bag as shown by Patent Document 1, however, the spout portion includes only a linear zipper. Therefore, when the content is discharged through the spout portion, maintaining the spout portion in open state is difficult. When hand fingers hold the spout portion, the bag can be slipped off from the hand fingers. Thus, the applicant of the subject application has invented a packaging bag with a spout unit as described in Patent Document 2.
- Patent Document 1: Japanese Patent Unexamined Application Publication No. 2002-284195.
- Patent Document 2: Japanese Patent Unexamined Application Publication No. 2005-350104.
- The packaging bag as described in Patent Document 2 has a spout outlet having an opening wider than that of the spout outlet as described in Patent Document 2. However, the spout outlet which has been once wide opened narrows naturally. If the content is a large solid matter, it is occasionally difficult for the content to be discharged. For discharging a large quantity of the content for a shorter time at a time, maintaining the wide open state has been a problem.
- Further, in the packaging bag described in Patent Document 2, fingers tend to slip on the side provided with the spout unit, which can cause the packaging bag to be slipped off from the hand fingers.
- In view of such circumstances, the invention provides a bag where, even if a content is large, an open state is maintained for easily discharging the content, and a packaging bag is not slipped off from hand fingers.
- Hereinafter, the feature of the invention is described, with reference numerals attached thereto.
- The feature of the invention provides a bag including a bag body having first and second sides (11 c, lid) to meet each other, and a third side (11 e) extending obliquely to the first and second sides (11 c, 11 d) and defining an opening; a spout unit (13) having an apex (13 a) projecting from the third side and defining a corner, and a zipper (15); and a recessed portion (17A, 17B, 18A, 18B) positioned away from the zipper (15) and formed on at least one of the first and second sides (11 c, 11 d).
- Preferably, the recessed portion (17A, 17B, 18A, 18B) is adjacent to the spout unit (13).
- Preferably, the recessed portion (18A, 18B) extends perpendicularly to a diagonal line (L2) extending from the apex (13 a) and dividing the spout unit (13) in half.
- According to the invention, applying of fingers on respective first and second recessed portions (17A, 17B, 18A, 18B) allows the bag body (11) to be easily held, which facilitates discharge of the content. The fingers holding the first and second recessed portions (17A, 17B, 18A, 18B) grasp inwardly of the packaging bag, which widens the spout outlet (13 k) of the spout unit (13) and maintains the wide open state.
- Hereinafter, embodiments of the invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

The laminated films employ, for example, those of a base material layer, an intermediate layer and an innermost layer laminated from outside. - The base material layer is desirably a film, which has superior printability, and impact resistance such as lunge strength and tensile strength. The base material layer employs, for example, a single layer or a laminated layer of a biaxially-oriented film or a uniaxially-oriented film of polyethylene terephthalate, polypropylene, polyamide, ethylene-vinylalcohol copolymer or the like. For giving barrier property against oxygen and water vapor to it, the base material layer employs a film which is vapor-deposited with metal of aluminum or the like or inorganic oxide of oxidized silicon or the like or which is coated with polyvinylidene chloride. Paper or cellophane may be used.
- The intermediate layer is desirably a film having functionalities of oxygen barrier property, water vapor barrier property and tear property according to applications of the bag. The intermediate layer employs, for example, a metal foil of aluminum or the like; or the above-described vapor-deposited film or coated film.
- The innermost layer is desirably a film which is capable of thermal adhesive bonding by heat sealing. The innermost layer employs, for example, an unoriented film of high-density polyethylene, low-density polyethylene, linear low-density polyethylene, polypropylene or the like. The innermost layer may employ a resin layer formed by extruding these resins by extrusion laminating. In addition, the innermost layer is desirably the same material as that of the
spout unit 13 for being bonded to spoutunit 13. - These films employ an adhesive, a thermal adhesiveness resin or the like, and are laminated together by known method.
