<First Embodiment>
The pouch container 10 which is 1st Embodiment is explained in full detail, referring FIGS.

1 and 2 are front views of the pouch container 10. 3 is a cross-sectional view taken along line AA in FIG.
As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the pouch container 10 is a standing pouch including a top sheet 11, a back sheet 12, and a bottom gusset sheet 13. The surface sheet 11 and the back surface sheet 12 (hereinafter, these may be collectively referred to as “front and back surface sheets”) are wall surface sheets that respectively constitute the front surface portion and the back surface portion of the wall surface portion of the container. The bottom gusset sheet 13 is a wall surface sheet that is inserted by being folded between the front surface portion and the back surface portion and constitutes the bottom gusset portion. The bottom gusset sheet 13 is mountain-folded upward, and is developed by filling the powder particles 100. The granular material 100 is filled in the filling part 14 which is a container internal space surrounded by each wall surface sheet.

  The pouch container 10 includes an upward gusset sheet 25 as an interior sheet bonded to at least one inner surface of the front surface portion and the back surface portion. The upward gusset sheet 25 is a gusset sheet that is mountain-folded upward like the bottom gusset sheet 13. As will be described in detail later, the upward gusset sheet 25 is joined to the inner surfaces of the top sheet 11 and the back sheet 12 so as to be deployable, and the cut-off portions 34 and 35 are provided by the gusset sheet. The upward gusset sheet 25 holds the measuring spoon 101 in the opening 31. The handle 103 of the measuring spoon 101 inserted into the opening 31 is sandwiched between a front half part 25a and a back half part 25b described later in a state where the upward gusset sheet 25 is folded.

  The cut-off portion 34 is a first cut-off portion formed in the insertion piece 32 described later. The insertion piece 32 is inserted into the dish portion 102 of the measuring spoon 101 and enables measurement of a small amount of the granular material 100 with respect to the total capacity of the measuring spoon 101. In other words, the measurement using the insertion piece 32 can be said to be a scraping measurement of the granular material 100 in the dish portion 102. Hereinafter, the term “grinding measurement” may also be used for the measurement using the insertion piece 32. The cut-off portion 35 is a second cut-off portion that enables the cut-off measurement of the powder body 100 having the full capacity of the measuring spoon 101.

  In the pouch container 10, the bottom gusset sheet 13 is inserted between the front and back sheets, and in this state, a seal portion that joins the edges of the sheets is formed. In this embodiment, it has the upper edge seal part 15, the lower edge seal part 16, and the side seal part 17 as the said seal part. The front and back sheets have a substantially rectangular shape in front view. The bottom gusset sheet 13 also has a substantially rectangular shape in front view, and is provided, for example, in a range of about 1/3 to 1/5 from the lower end of the front and back sheets.

  The upper edge seal portion 15 (see FIG. 2) is a seal portion formed after the powder 100 is filled, and is formed by joining the upper edges of the front and back sheets. In the present embodiment, a sealing member 18 and a notch 19 are provided in the vicinity of the upper edge seal portion 15. The sealing member 18 is provided above the upward gusset sheet 25, and the notch 19 is provided above the sealing member 18.

  The lower edge seal part 16 is a seal part formed at the edge of the bottom gusset sheet 13 and joins the bottom gusset sheet 13 and the front and back sheets. The lower edge seal portion 16 is formed such that when the powder 100 is filled, the front and back sheets are separated from each other and the bottom gusset sheet 13 is developed. Moreover, it is suitable for the bottom gusset sheet 13 to form notches 20 at both lateral ends. Thereby, the surface sheet 11 and the back surface sheet 12 are directly joined, and the stable self-supporting property is obtained.

  The side seal portion 17 is formed by joining the top sheet 11 and the back sheet 12 at both lateral edges of the container. A part of the side seal portion 17 is formed in a state in which both end portions in the longitudinal direction of the sheet material constituting the sealing member 18 and the upward gusset sheet 25 are sandwiched between the front and back sheets.

  The sealing member 18 is configured by, for example, opposingly arranging a first sheet material with a ridge portion and a second sheet material with a ridge portion fitted to the ridge portion. For example, the first sheet material is bonded to the inner surface of the top sheet 11, and the second sheet material is bonded to the inner surface of the back sheet 12. The sealing member 18 is preferably provided over the entire lateral length of the pouch container 10.

  The notches 19 are notches that serve as starting points for cutting when the front and back sheets are cut and the pouch container 10 is opened, and can be provided in the left and right side seal portions 17 respectively. When the front and back sheets are cut from the notch 19 along the horizontal direction, the upper edge seal portion 15 is removed, and a takeout port 21 (see FIG. 4), which is an opening for communicating the outside of the container and the filling portion 14, is formed. . The take-out port 21 is formed between the top sheet 11 and the back sheet 12 at the top of the container, and is opened and closed by the sealing member 18 after opening. In FIGS. 1 and 2, a take-out port formation scheduled portion 21 z that is a portion where the front and back sheets are cut to form the take-out port 21 is indicated by a two-dot chain line.

  Each sheet constituting the pouch container 10 is usually made of a resin film. The resin film constituting each sheet is required to have basic performance as a package, such as impact resistance, wear resistance, and heat resistance. Since each of the sealing portions is usually formed by heat sealing, each sheet is also required to have heat sealing properties. As the sheet, a multilayer sheet having a base film layer and a sealant layer imparting heat sealability is suitable. When high gas barrier properties are required, it is preferable to provide a gas barrier layer between the base film layer and the sealant layer. In addition, you may provide barrier property to the base film layer itself. In this case, a multilayer sheet having a barrier layer and a sealant layer is obtained using the barrier layer as a base film layer.

  In the case of imparting heat sealability to both surfaces of the sheet, a single-layer film that forms a sealant layer described later may be used, and in the case of a multilayer sheet, it may have two layers of the same or different sealant layers (this Sometimes, one layer of the sealant layer is formally used as the base film layer), or a sheet having a sealant layer on both sides of the base film layer may be used. In the present embodiment, a double-sided heat-sealable laminated sheet is used as the upward gusset sheet 25. Specifically, a laminated sheet in which two different sealant layers are laminated is used.

  Hereinafter, constituent materials for the base film layer, the sealant layer, and the gas barrier layer will be exemplified. These layers can be laminated by a conventional laminating method, for example, dry lamination using an adhesive, thermal lamination in which a heat-adhesive layer is sandwiched by heat and the like.

  Examples of the film constituting the base film layer include polyester (polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polyethylene naphthalate (PEN), polybutylene terephthalate (PBT), polycarbonate (PC), etc.), polyolefin (polyethylene (PE), polypropylene ( PP)), polyamide (nylon-6, nylon-66, etc.), polyacrylonitrile (PAN), polyimide (PI), polyvinyl chloride (PVC), polyvinylidene chloride (PVDC), polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA), and A stretched or unstretched film of one layer or two or more layers composed of polyethersulfone (PES) or the like can be exemplified.

  The films constituting the sealant layer include low density polyethylene (LDPE), linear low density polyethylene (LLDPE), ethylene-propylene copolymer (EP), unstretched polypropylene (CPP), and biaxially stretched nylon (ON). , Ethylene-olefin copolymer, ethylene-acrylic acid copolymer (EAA), ethylene-methacrylic acid copolymer (EMAA), ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer (EVA), etc. The above stretched or unstretched film can be exemplified.

  The gas barrier layer may be a metal thin film such as aluminum, a resin film such as vinylidene chloride (PVDC) or ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer (EVOH), or any synthetic resin film (for example, a base film layer). ), And a film obtained by vapor-depositing (or sputtering) an inorganic oxide such as aluminum, aluminum oxide or silica.

  Each sheet can be provided with a printing layer (not shown) for displaying the product name of the contents, the product description such as raw materials and usage precautions, and various other designs. For example, the printing layer can be formed on the inner surface of the base film layer by a known method such as gravure printing.

  Hereinafter, the configuration of the upward gusset sheet 25 will be described in detail with further reference to FIGS. 4 and 6 are views showing a state in which the extraction port 21 is opened (in FIG. 4, the sealing member 18 is omitted and some seal portions are hatched). FIG. 5 is a view for explaining a developed form of the upward gusset sheet 25. In addition, the relationship between the dimension of the dish part 102 of the measuring spoon 101 and the dimension of the insertion piece 32 is demonstrated using FIG.

  The upward gusset sheet 25 is a gusset sheet in which a mountain fold is formed upward and a crease line 30 along the lateral direction is formed at the upper end of the sheet. The upward gusset sheet 25 is preferably provided close to the sealing member 18 as long as it does not contact the sealing member 18 from the viewpoint of increasing the capacity of the filling portion 14. In the present embodiment, an upward gusset sheet 25 is provided over the entire lateral length of the pouch container 10. The upward gusset sheet 25 has an opening 31 that allows the powder body 100 to be taken out, and is joined to the inner surfaces of the front and back sheets so as to be developed.

  It is preferable that the upward gusset sheet 25 includes two gusset portions 26 and 27 that are folded upward and a band-shaped connecting portion 28 that connects the gusset portions. The gusset portions 26 and 27 are folded when the take-out port 21 is closed, and develop when the take-out port 21 is opened to exhibit a scraping function. That is, when the gusset portions 26 and 27 are unfolded, the scraping portions 34 and 35 that allow the scraping and weighing of the granular material 100 sown with the measuring spoon 101 are formed. Although the gusset portions 26 and 27 that are not connected to each other can be provided separately, each gusset portion is preferably provided by using the elongated body 25z of the upward gusset sheet 25 (see FIG. 7 described later).

  In the upward gusset sheet 25, the lower end portion of the front half portion 25 a is heat sealed to the top sheet 11, and the lower end portion of the back side half portion 25 b is heat sealed to the back sheet 12. As a result, two strip-shaped joint portions 29 are formed. Here, the front half portion 25a means a portion located on the top sheet 11 side with respect to the crease line 30, and the back half portion 25b means a portion located on the back sheet 12 side with respect to the crease line 30. . It is preferable that the vertical lengths of the front half portion 25a and the back half portion 25b are substantially equal. That is, the crease line 30 is preferably formed at the center in the width direction of the gusset portions 26 and 27 (the direction perpendicular to the crease line 30 is the width direction of the gusset).

  The gusset portions 26 and 27 are disposed to face each other with the opening 31 interposed therebetween. The gusset portion 26 is provided with an insertion piece 32 that can measure a smaller amount of the granular material 100 than the entire capacity of the measuring spoon 101 (hereinafter sometimes referred to as “one measuring spoon”). Then, the tip end of the insertion piece 32 becomes a scraping portion 34. The gusset portion 27 is formed with a scraping portion 35 that can scrape and measure the entire capacity of the measuring spoon 101. The scraped portions 34 and 35 are both formed at the opening edge of the opening 31. Hereinafter, in each gusset part, the end located at the opening edge of the opening 31 is defined as a first end.

  The end portions (hereinafter referred to as “second end portions”) of the gusset portions 26 and 27 opposite to the opening portion 31 are preferably joined to the front and back sheets by the side seal portions 17 respectively. is there. Thereby, the bending of the gusset parts 26 and 27 at the time of a scraping operation can be suppressed.

  As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the gusset portions 26, 27 are expanded until the front end half 25 a and the back half 25 b are substantially parallel on the first end side when the take-out port 21 is largely opened. . The gusset portions 26 and 27 that are largely expanded develop so that the upper surfaces thereof have a substantially triangular shape. When the gusset portions 26 and 27 are deployed, the dish portion 102 of the measuring spoon 101 can be pressed against the first end portion, and the first end portions of the gusset portions 26 and 27 are respectively cut into the scraping portions 34 and 35. Become.

  The insertion piece 32 is formed at the first end of the gusset portion 26 located at the opening edge of the opening 31. The insertion piece 32 is inserted into the dish portion 102 of the measuring spoon 101, and enables a small amount of the granular material 100 to be weighed in a smaller amount than one measuring spoon as described above. In the present embodiment, of the first end portion of the gusset portion 26, a region having a predetermined width including the center in the width direction of the gusset portion 26 where the crease line 30 is formed is more than a portion located on both sides in the width direction of the region. It projects to the opening 31 side. The convex portion protruding toward the opening 31 is an insertion piece 32.

  The distal end portion of the insertion piece 32 constitutes a part of the first end portion of the gusset portion 26, and the distal end portion becomes the scraping portion 34. On the other hand, the first end portion of the gusset portion 27 is not formed with a convex portion such as the insertion piece 32, and the entire first end portion becomes the scraping portion 35. It is preferable that the scraped portions 34 and 35 both extend in a substantially straight line perpendicular to the crease line 30.

The insertion piece 32 is preferably provided by two notches 33 formed at a predetermined interval at the first end of the gusset portion 26. The predetermined interval corresponds to a width W ₃₂ of the insertion piece 32 described later. Each notch 33 is formed in a substantially U shape from the first end portion of the gusset portion 26, for example, substantially along the crease line 30. A portion sandwiched between the notches 33 becomes the insertion piece 32, and each notch 33 becomes a recess into which the dish portion 102 (side wall) of the measuring spoon 101 fits.

  Each notch 33 is preferably formed at a position where the distance from the crease line 30 is substantially the same, and overlaps in the front and back direction in a state where the gusset portion 26 is folded. That is, the insertion piece 32 is preferably formed symmetrically with respect to the crease line 30 (the center in the width direction of the gusset portion 26).

As shown in FIG. 6, when the gusset portion 26 is deployed, the insertion piece 32 expands to a maximum length W ₃₂ in the width direction (hereinafter simply referred to as width W ₃₂ ). In order to allow the insertion piece 32 to be inserted into the dish portion 102, the width W ₃₂ is made shorter than the inner dimension width W 1 of the dish portion 102. Preferably, a dimension close to the width W ₃₂ of the inside width W1 in a range not to interfere the insertion against pan 102. Moreover, it is preferable that the width direction length W ₃₃ of the notch 33 (hereinafter simply referred to as the width W ₃₃ ) is longer than the thickness of the side wall of the dish portion 102. By making the width W _{33 of the} notch 33 larger than the thickness of the dish part 102, the insertion piece 32 can be smoothly inserted into the dish part 102.

Extension length L ₃₂ of the insertion piece 32 determines the depth of the scraping portion 34 to be inserted into the pan 102. As extending length L ₃₂ of the insertion piece 32 is long, scraping portion 34 which is the distal end portion is inserted deep into the pan 102, becomes large export of been granule 100 filled in the dish 102 . That is, as the extension length L ₃₂ is longer, a smaller amount of the granular material 100 can be scraped and measured.

  Hereinafter, an example of a method for manufacturing the pouch container 10 will be described with reference to FIG.

  FIG. 7 shows a process of laminating long sheets of sheets and forming each seal portion in the manufacturing process of the pouch container 10. In this manufacturing process, the sheet | seat (for example, the 1st sheet | seat with a protruding item | line part and the 2nd sheet | seat with a grooved part) which comprises the surface sheet 11, the back surface sheet 12, the bottom gusset sheet 13, and the sealing member 18; And the elongate body (henceforth "long body 11z, 12z, 13z, 18z, 25z") of the upward gusset sheet 25 is prepared, and it mutually laminates. The long body 18z is laminated in a state in which the ridges of the first sheet and the ridges of the second sheet are fitted. A double-sided heat-sealable laminated sheet is used for the long body 25z.

  In the step of laminating the long bodies, the long bodies 13z, 18z, and 25z are inserted between the long bodies 11z and 12z that are overlapped with each other. At this time, the elongate bodies 11z and 12z are laminated so that the respective sealant layers face each other, and the elongate body 13z is ridged toward the upper portion of the container so that the sealant layer faces the elongate bodies 11z and 12z. It is folded. It is preferable to form a hole 20z to be the notch 20 in the long body 13z. An opening 31 is formed in the long body 25z leaving a connecting portion 28 by a die cut roll or the like. Further, two notches 33 are formed in a portion corresponding to the gusset portion 26 of the long body 25z. Similarly to the long body 13z, the long body 25z is mountain-folded in the direction of the upper portion of the container.

  Each sealing part is formed in each said elongate body which passed through the lamination process at a heat sealing process. In the heat sealing step, for example, the respective sealing portions are formed by heat-sealing the edge of each long body, leaving the upper edge. Subsequently, for example, each long body is cut along a planned cutting line α using a die cut roll or the like, and is divided into individual container sizes. In addition, the said heat seal and the said cut may be performed simultaneously. In this way, the pouch container 10 is obtained.

  Hereinafter, the effect of the pouch container 10 will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. FIGS. 8 and 9 are views showing a state in which the granular material 100 sown with the measuring spoon 101 is scraped off using the scraping portion 34.

  When taking out the granular material 100 from the filling part 14 of the pouch container 10, after forming the taking-out port 21 using the notch 19, the sealing member 18 is opened and the taking-out port 21 is opened. And by opening the taking-out port 21 widely, the top sheet 11 and the back sheet 12 are separated from each other in the upper part of the container, and the gusset portions 26 and 27 of the upward gusset sheet 25 are developed. For example, at the first end portion side, each gusset portion expands so that the front half portion 25a and the back half portion 25b are substantially parallel and the upper surface has a substantially triangular shape.

  As shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, when the gusset portions 26 and 27 are deployed, the plate portion 102 of the measuring spoon 101 with the powder particles 100 placed on the first end portions can be pressed against each other. For example, the excess powder body 100 can be scraped off by pulling the measuring spoon 101 upward while pressing the dish portion 102 against the first end portion. In other words, the first end portions of the expanded gusset portions 26 and 27 become the scraped portions 34 and 35, respectively. When the cut-off portion 35 of the gusset portion 27 is used, the amount of the granular material 100 per one measuring spoon can be made substantially constant, and the cut-off weighing in units of one measuring spoon (total volume unit) is possible. .

  In the pouch container 10, by using the cut-off portion 34 of the gusset portion 26, it is possible to measure the cut-off amount smaller than that of one measuring spoon. The gusset portion 26 is provided with an insertion piece 32 that can be inserted into the dish portion 102 of the measuring spoon 101, and a tip end portion (first end portion) of the insertion piece 32 becomes a scraping portion 34.

Specifically, first, the insertion piece 32 that has expanded to a width W _{32 that is} approximately the same as the inner dimension W 1 of the dish portion 102 due to the development of the gusset portion 26 is inserted into the vicinity of the handle 103 of the dish portion 102. In other words, the side wall of the dish portion 102 is fitted into the notches 33 formed on both sides of the insertion piece 32. Then, with the insertion piece 32 inserted into the dish portion 102 and the scraping portion 34 which is the tip of the insertion piece 32 being inserted to the predetermined depth of the dish portion 102, the measuring spoon 101 is pulled upward to remove excess powder. The granule 100 can be scraped off. Thereby, it is possible to weigh and measure a small amount of the powdery material 100, such as 1/2 cup or 1/3 cup of measuring spoon, than the capacity of the dish part 102. The amount by which the granular material 100 is scraped by the scraping portion 34 can be adjusted by changing the extension length L ₃₂ of the insertion piece 32.

  Note that the upward gusset sheet 25 (the gusset portion 26) has a structure that can withstand the force applied when the measuring spoon 101 is pulled out while sliding the powder body 100 upward from the inside of the container, and the insertion piece 32 is hardly distorted. . Accordingly, it is possible to weigh a desired amount of the granular material 100 relatively accurately.

  10 and 11 show a pouch container 10x which is a modification of the pouch container 10. FIG. 10 is a front view of the pouch container 10x. FIG. 11 is a view showing a state in which the takeout port 21 of the pouch container 10x is opened.
