Abstract

L'invention porte sur un conteneur pliable, approprié pour être utilisé dans un système de dosage sous pression réduite, le conteneur comprenant des première et seconde sections de paroi latérale sensiblement planes (2, 3); au moins deux sections de paroi cintrées disposées en zigzag; une section inférieure cintrée disposée en zigzag (16-19), les première et seconde sections de paroi sensiblement planes (2, 3) étant reliées l'une à l'autre au moyen des au moins deux sections de paroi cintrées disposées en zigzag et de la section inférieure disposée en zigzag de telle sorte que, lorsque l'on fait le vide, les première et seconde parois latérales sensiblement planes (2, 3) se déplacent l'une vers l'autre dans une direction sensiblement perpendiculaire aux première et seconde parois latérales et les sections de paroi cintrées en zigzag et la section de fond disposée en zigzag se replient toutes ensemble.
