  FIG. 1 is a front view showing a pouch container 10. 2 is a cross-sectional view taken along line AA in FIG. The pouch container 10 includes a top sheet 11, a back sheet 12, and a bottom gusset sheet 13. The pouch container 10 is a standing pouch having a filling portion 14 filled with powder 100, and bag-like portions 30A and 30B are used as holding portions used when opening the takeout port 21 (see FIGS. 5 and 6). Prepare. 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 folded and inserted between the front surface portion and the back surface portion to constitute the bottom gusset portion. The bottom gusset sheet 13 is mountain-folded upward and is developed by filling with the powder 100.

  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. Each of the front and back sheets has a substantially rectangular shape extending slightly longer in the vertical direction. The bottom gusset sheet 13 also has a substantially rectangular shape, and is provided, for example, in a range of about ¼ from the lower end of the front and back sheets.

  The upper edge seal portion 15 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 bag-like portions 30A and 30B. 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. The bottom gusset sheet 13 is preferably formed with 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 has the longitudinal ends of the sheet material and the bag-shaped portion forming sheets 31A and 31B (hereinafter simply referred to as “sheets 31A and 31B”) constituting the sealing member 18 of the front and back sheets. It is formed in a state sandwiched between them.

  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.

  Each sheet constituting the pouch container 10 is usually made of a resin film. The resin film constituting the sheet is required to have basic performance as a packaging body such as impact resistance, wear resistance, and heat resistance. Moreover, since each said seal | sticker part is normally formed by a heat seal, the heat seal property is also requested | required of a sheet | seat. As the sheet, a multilayer sheet having a base film layer and a sealant layer that imparts heat sealability is suitable, and when high gas barrier properties are required, a gas barrier is provided between the base film layer and the sealant layer. It is preferred to provide a 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 addition, when providing heat sealability on both sides of the sheet, a single-layer film that forms a sealant layer described later may be used, or in the case of a multilayer sheet, whether two layers of the same or different sealant layers are used. (At this time, 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, as the sheets 31A and 31B, double-sided heat-sealable laminated sheets, specifically, laminated sheets in which two different sealant layers are laminated are used.

  Here, constituent materials of the base film layer, the sealant layer, and the gas barrier layer are exemplified. In addition, lamination | stacking of these each layer can be performed by the conventional lamination method, for example, the dry lamination by an adhesive agent, the heat lamination which adhere | attaches with a heat | fever by pinching | interposing a heat bonding layer.

  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. A 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.

  The 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 configurations of the bag-like portions 30A and 30B and the scraping portion 38 will be described in further detail.

  The pouch container 10 includes bag-like portions 30 </ b> A and 30 </ b> B below the sealing member 18. The sealing member 18 is provided along the lateral direction, and the bag-like portions 30A and 30B are provided substantially parallel to the sealing member 18 (lateral direction). The bag-like portions 30A and 30B overlap each other in the front and back direction, and are disposed to face each other with the take-out port 21 in between. The bag-shaped portions 30A and 30B have a substantially rectangular shape in front view extending longer in the horizontal direction than in the vertical direction, and have the same shape and the same dimensions. Hereinafter, the contents common to the bag-like portions 30A and 30B will be described by taking the bag-like portion 30A as an example.

  The bag-shaped portion 30A is preferably provided over the entire length in the lateral direction of the front and back sheets from the viewpoint of productivity and the like. That is, the lateral length of the front and back sheets is the same as the lateral length of the sheet material 31A. By making the horizontal length of each sheet the same, the pouch container 10 can be easily and inexpensively manufactured by an existing bag making process using a long sheet.

  The bag-like portion 30 </ b> A has an internal space 32 </ b> A that is an independent space that does not communicate with the filling portion 14. The inner space 32 </ b> A is closed at its peripheral edge in the front view state by the edge seal portion 33 </ b> A. The internal space 32A has a size that can accommodate at least one finger, for example, the index finger of the left hand (for example, a thumb is accommodated in the internal space 32B). In order to enable stable holding of the pouch container 10, it is preferable to set the dimension of the internal space 32 </ b> A to such an extent that it can be accommodated from the tip of the finger to the root.

  The bag-shaped portion 30A has an insertion port 34A that allows a finger to be inserted into the internal space 32A from the lateral direction. The insertion port 34A is provided on one end side in the lateral direction of the bag-shaped portion 30A. The insertion port 34B is preferably provided just behind the insertion port 34A. The insertion port 34A is designed such that a finger is inserted from one side in the lateral direction, and the finger inserted from the insertion port 34A is accommodated with the fingertip facing the other side in the lateral direction in the internal space 32A. . The internal space 32A is a space that extends long in the horizontal direction because the fingers are accommodated from the horizontal direction.

  Hereinafter, one end in the horizontal direction of the container close to the insertion port 34A is referred to as a “first end”, and the other end in the horizontal direction is referred to as a “second end”. This term is used not only for the bag-like portions 30A and 30B but also for the downward gusset sheet 41 and the like described later.

  The insertion port 34 </ b> A is preferably provided by forming a cut line 35 </ b> A in the surface sheet 11 that forms the bag-shaped portion 30 </ b> A together with the sheet material 31. The cut line 35 </ b> A has a substantially U shape when viewed from the front, and is formed so that both ends thereof (hereinafter referred to as “cut ends”) face the second end side. Specifically, it is preferable that the substantially linear portion of the cut line 35A is formed along the horizontal direction, and the arc-shaped portion of the cut line 35A is formed so as to protrude toward the first end portion side. is there.

  The cut line 35 </ b> A preferably has a lower straight portion longer than the upper straight portion. That is, it is preferable that the insertion port 34A is opened larger on the lower side than on the upper side. Accordingly, the opening area of the insertion port 34A is increased to facilitate insertion of a finger, and the upper side of the finger, which is heavy on the container, penetrates deeply into the internal space 32A, thereby improving the retainability of the container.

  The pouch container 10 is preferably provided with a tongue piece 36A which is a portion surrounded by a cut line 35A and a line connecting the cut ends (hereinafter referred to as “root line of the tongue piece 36A”). That is, the insertion port 34A and the tongue piece 36A have the same dimensions. The insertion opening 34A is opened by bending the tongue piece 36A at the base line.

  The tongue piece 36A is preferably used by being folded into the internal space 32A. The tongue piece 36A is connected to the edge portion on the second end side of the insertion port 34A, and when this is folded inward, the edge portion floats and the insertion port 34A spreads to facilitate the insertion of a finger. The tongue piece 36A may be folded during use or may be folded during manufacture. Further, the tongue piece 36A may be joined to the top sheet 11 in a state of being folded inward.

  As described above, the cut-off portion 38 is formed when a finger is inserted into the bag-like portions 30A and 30B and the take-out port 21 is opened (see FIGS. 5 and 6). The internal spaces 32A and 32B are expanded by the fingers inserted into the bag-like portions 30A and 30B, and the sheets 31A and 31B are curved and projecting inward. It becomes the sliding part 38 to be cut. That is, a part of the sheets 31A and 31B constituting the bag-like portions 30A and 30B becomes the scraped portion 38. Since the scraped portion 38 is provided below the sealing member 18, the sealed member 18 can be kept hygienic without the scraped powder 100 adhering to the sealing member 18.

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

  FIG. 3 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 | seat 13, and the sealing member 18; In addition, long bodies of sheet materials 31A and 31B (hereinafter referred to as “long bodies 11z, 12z, 13z, 18z, 31Az, and 31Bz”) are prepared and laminated together. The long body 18z is stacked in a state in which the protruding strip portion of the first sheet and the concave strip portion of the second sheet are fitted, and the long bodies 31Az and 31Bz are stacked in a state of being overlapped with each other.

  In the step of laminating the long bodies, the long bodies 13z, 18z, 31Az, and 31Bz are inserted between the long bodies 11z and 12z that are overlapped with each other. At this time, the long bodies 11z and 12z are laminated so that the respective sealant layers face each other, and the long body 13z is mountain-folded upward so that the sealant layer faces the long bodies 11z and 12z. Further, the sealant layer of the long body 31Az is laminated so as to face the sealant layer of the long body 11z, and the sealant layer of the long body 31Bz is laminated so as to face the sealant layer of the long body 12z. In addition, before laminating each sheet, it is preferable to form holes and cut lines 35A and 35B that become the notches 20.

  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, each sealing portion is formed by heat-sealing the edge of each elongated body, leaving the upper edge. Subsequently, using a die cut roll or the like, for example, the long body is cut along the planned cutting line 22 and 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.

  Although the example using the long bodies 31Az and 31Bz has been described in the above production example, a long gusset sheet may be used instead of the long bodies 31Az and 31Bz. In this case, the long gusset sheet is supplied to the bag making machine, and after heat sealing to the wall surface sheet or after heat sealing, the gusset sheet is cut along the crease line to separate the bag-shaped portions 30A and 30B. May be.

  Next, the effect of the pouch container 10 will be described in detail with reference to FIGS.

  4 and 5 show a state in which the take-out port 21 of the pouch container 10 is opened using the bag-like portions 30A and 30B. When taking out the powder 100 from the pouch container 10, for example, while holding the container with one hand (hereinafter referred to as the left hand), the sealing member 18 is opened and the takeout port 21 is widened. First, an index finger is inserted into the internal space 32A of the bag-shaped portion 30A, and a thumb is inserted into the internal space 32B of the bag-shaped portion 30B to hold the container. At this time, the thumb and index finger are inserted into each internal space from the first end side through the insertion openings 34A and 34B. The insertion openings 34A and 34B are formed by substantially U-shaped cut lines 35A and 35B which are formed close to the first end portion and which are longer on the lower side than on the upper side, and also on the tongue pieces 36A and 36B. Is folded inside and opened. For this reason, a finger can be smoothly inserted from the insertion openings 34A and 34B.

  Subsequently, the sealing member 18 is removed by opening the gap between the thumb and the index finger inserted into the bag-like portions 30A and 30B, and the take-out port 21 is widened. That is, the index finger is moved to the front side and the thumb is moved to the back side. By further widening the distance between the thumb and the index finger, the take-out port 21 can be greatly widened.

  FIG. 6 is a diagram showing how the powder 100 sown with the measuring spoon 101 is scraped off. As described above, when a finger is inserted into the bag-like portions 30A and 30B and the take-out port 21 is widened, the sheets 31A and 31B constituting each bag-like portion are curved and project inward. The overhanging portion is a cut-off portion 38, and the powder 100 squeezed with the measuring spoon 101 can be cut and measured by pressing the plate of the measuring spoon 101 and pulling it upward. Further, since the feeling of the scraping operation is directly transmitted to the index finger, the scraping operation can be performed intuitively, and workability can be improved. Furthermore, since the finger is inserted into the bag-like portions 30A and 30B and the opening operation is performed, almost all of the inserted fingers are covered with the sheet, and even if the powder 100 is spilled by an unexpected operation, Never touch your finger. Therefore, for example, even when the powder 100 is not preferable to be in direct contact with the skin, such as a poisonous and deleterious substance such as a chemical product, the work can be performed safely.

  The cut-off portion 38 is also formed on the bag-like portion 30B side where the thumb is inserted, but it is preferable to use the cut-off portion 38 on the bag-like portion 30A side where the index finger is inserted for the cut-off measurement. Since the index finger is longer than the thumb, it can be inserted deeply into the bag-like portion 30A. Therefore, the cut-out portion 38 on the bag-like portion 30A side extends longer than the cut-out portion 38 on the bag-like portion 30B side. Is done. For this reason, it is easy to press the dish of the measuring spoon 101 against the scraping portion 38 on the bag-shaped portion 30A side, and by using this, a better scraping operation can be performed.

  As described above, according to the pouch container 10, it is possible to stably hold the container in a state where the take-out port 21 is widened, and it is possible to perform a good scraping operation.

7 to 9 show modified examples of the pouch container 10.
The pouch container 10x shown in FIG. 7 has a recess 23 formed on the first end side where the insertion ports 34A and 34B are formed, and the lateral length of the upper part of the container is shorter than the lateral length of the lower part of the container. It has become. Further, it differs from the pouch container 10 in that it has a finger-hanging seal portion 37A. In the pouch container 10x, the retainability and the like of the container can be improved by cutting the insertion ports 34A and 34B to reduce the width. In addition, the shape of the pouch container can be appropriately changed according to, for example, the design or the like as long as the object of the present invention is not impaired.

  The pouch container 10x is provided with a finger-hanging seal portion 37A that joins the inner surfaces of the bag-like portion 30A (the same applies to the bag-like portion 20B). For example, the tip of the thumb can be hooked on the finger-hanging seal portion 37A. Thereby, the hook of the thumb in the bag-like portion is improved, and the force is easily applied in the direction of expanding the take-out port 21. The finger-hanging seal portion 37A is particularly useful for use by women with small hands.

  The finger-hanging seal portion 37A is provided at an upper portion on the second end side with respect to the insertion port 34A. The finger-hanging seal portion 37A is preferably provided in the vicinity of the upper end of the insertion port 34A and at a position where it does not interfere with the tongue piece 36A when the tongue piece 36A is folded inward. In the example shown in FIG. 7, a part of the edge seal portion 33A formed along the upper end of the bag-like portion 30A protrudes downward to form a finger-hanging seal portion 37A. The finger-hanging seal portion 37A is not particularly limited as long as the thumb inserted from the insertion port 34A is easily caught, and may be a point seal portion formed at a position away from the edge seal portion 33A, for example. .

  FIG. 8 shows a cross-sectional view of the bag-like portion 30Ay. A two-dot chain line in FIG. 8B is a finger inserted into the internal space 32A. The bag-like portion 30Ay differs from the bag-like portion 30A in that it has a rigid sheet 39 that is more rigid than the sheet 31A and hard to bend. For example, the rigid sheet 39 is joined to the inner space 32A side of the sheet 31A over the entire lateral length of the container. The rigid sheet 39 is shorter in the vertical direction than the sheet 31A, and is preferably joined to the central part in the vertical direction of the sheet 31A.

  When a finger is inserted into the bag-shaped portion 30 </ b> A and the take-out port 21 is opened, the sheet 31 </ b> A to which the rigid sheet 39 is joined is greatly curved above and below the rigid sheet 39. For this reason, it becomes easy to form the sharp cutting part 38y in the lower end vicinity of the rigid sheet 39, and favorable cutting operation becomes possible.

  A pouch container 10z shown in FIG. 9 is different from the pouch container 10x in that a holding part 24A is formed by joining a holding part forming sheet 25A to the outer surface of the top sheet 11 instead of the bag-like parts 30A and 30B ( A holding part forming sheet is similarly provided on the back side). The holding part forming sheet 25 </ b> A is joined to the outer surface of the top sheet 11 positioned below the sealing member 18 so that the longitudinal direction thereof is substantially parallel to the sealing member 18. By joining the upper end and the lower end of the holding portion forming sheet 25A to the top sheet 11, a holding portion 24A in which a finger can be inserted from both sides in the lateral direction is formed between the holding portion forming sheet 25A and the top sheet 11.

  In the example illustrated in FIG. 9, for example, an index finger is inserted into the holding unit 24 </ b> A from the first end side. In this case, the surface sheet 11 constituting the holding portion 24A is curved and projects inward, and this projecting portion becomes a scraped portion.

Second Embodiment
The pouch container 40 which is 2nd Embodiment is demonstrated referring FIGS. 10-18. Hereinafter, differences from the first embodiment will be mainly described, and the same components as those in the first embodiment will be denoted by the same reference numerals, and redundant description will be omitted (the same applies to the third to sixth embodiments). ).

  FIG. 10 shows the pouch container 40 before the powder 100 is filled. 11 is a cross-sectional view taken along line BB in FIG. The pouch container 40 is different from the first embodiment in that bag-like portions 30 </ b> A and 30 </ b> B are provided above the sealing member 18. Furthermore, the pouch container 40 is different from the first embodiment in that the pouch container 40 includes a downward gusset sheet 41 that forms a scraped portion 48.

  In the present embodiment, a part of the sheet 31A, 31B protruding from the inner side by inserting a finger into the bag-like part 30A, 30B can be used as a scraping part, but preferably formed by the downward gusset sheet 41. The scraper 48 is used. Further, when the takeout port 21 is opened without using the bag-like portions 30 </ b> A and 30 </ b> B, the scraped portion 48 is formed, but it is preferable to use the bag-like portions 30 </ b> A and 30 </ b> B for the opening of the takeout port 21. .

  The second ends of the bag-like portions 30A and 30B are preferably joined together. On the other hand, it is preferable that the first ends of the bag-like portions 30A and 30B are not joined to each other. By forming a notch 49 at the second end of the sheets 31A and 31B and directly joining the top sheet 11 and the back sheet 12, the second ends of the bag-like parts 30A and 30B can be joined. . Or you may form the said junction part using what is called a double-sided heat-sealable sheet | seat for sheet 31A, 31B. Thereby, it is possible to open the take-out port 21 with a small force. That is, by fixing the second end portions of the bag-like portions 30A and 30B so that the second end portion does not open to the outside, a force is easily applied in the direction in which the take-out port 21 is widened. The opening property of is improved.

  The downward gusset sheet 41 is provided below the sealing member 18. The downward gusset sheet 41 is joined to the front and back sheets so as to be unfoldable, and is a gusset sheet provided so as to cover a part on the filling portion 14 along the lateral direction, and a crease line 45 is formed at the lower end. It is folded like a mountain. As with the bottom gusset sheet 13, the downward gusset sheet 41 is preferably provided using a long body. A gusset opening is formed in the elongated body so that the powder 100 can be taken out. Therefore, the downward gusset sheet 41 includes a gusset portion 42 that is folded downward and a line-shaped (band-shaped) connection portion 43 that extends from the gusset portion 42.

  In the downward facing gusset sheet 41, the upper end portion of the front half portion 42 a is heat sealed to the top sheet 11, and the upper end portion of the back half portion 42 b is heat sealed to the back sheet 12. Thereby, two line-shaped joint portions 44 are formed. Here, the front half part 42a means a part located on the top sheet 11 side with respect to the crease line 45, and the back half part 42b means a part located on the back sheet 12 side with respect to the crease line 45. . It is preferable that the vertical lengths of the front half 42a and the back half 42b are substantially equal.

  As for the gusset part 42, it is suitable for the 2nd end part to be joined to the front and back sheets by the side seal part 17. Thereby, the bending of the gusset part 42 at the time of scraping operation can be suppressed. The 1st edge part of the gusset part 42 is not joined to the front and back sheet | seat, but when the taking-out port 21 opens, it becomes the scraping part 48 (refer FIGS. 12-14).

  The gusset portion 42 has a spoon insertion portion 46 at the lateral center of the gusset portion 42. The spoon insertion part 46 is a through-hole through which the dish of the measuring spoon 101 can be inserted in a state in which the gusset part 42 is expanded, and for example, a top view trapezoidal shape in which the first end side is a long side and the second end side is a short side. Presents a shape (see FIG. 14). In the state where the gusset portion 42 is folded, the measuring spoon 101 inserted into the spoon insertion portion 46 is supported by the front half portion 42a and the back half portion 42b. As a result, the measuring spoon 101 can be held inside the container in a state where the measuring spoon 101 is not buried in the powder 100 and the powder 100 does not adhere to the handle.

  The gusset part 42 preferably has a powder recovery part 47. The powder recovery unit 47 is a through-hole formed in the portion of the gusset portion 42 that extends along the crease line 45, and has a function of returning the powder 100 existing on the gusset portion 42 to the filling unit 14. It is particularly preferable that the powder recovery part 47 is formed on the second end side of the gusset part 42 and in a part in contact with the side seal part 17.

  FIG. 12 is a view showing a state in which the takeout port 21 of the pouch container 40 is opened (the configuration above the downward gusset sheet 41 is omitted). FIG. 13 is a view showing the downward gusset sheet 41 developed by the opening of the take-out port 21. The take-out port 21 can be opened using the bag-like portions 30A and 30B, as in the case of the first embodiment. When the take-out port 21 is opened widely, the gusset portion 42 expands until the front half portion 42a and the back half portion 42b are substantially parallel on the first end side. In other words, the gusset portion 42 that has been largely expanded expands so that its upper surface has a substantially triangular shape.

  FIG. 14 shows a state where the powder 100 is weighed. When the gusset portion 42 is developed, the dish of the measuring spoon 101 with the powder 100 placed on the first end portion can be pressed. The excess powder 100 can be scraped off by pulling the measuring spoon 101 upward while pressing the dish against the first end. That is, in the pouch container 40, the first end portion of the gusset portion 42 becomes the scraping portion 48 due to the opening of the takeout port 21.

15 to 18 show modifications of the second embodiment.
FIG. 15 is a front view of the pouch container 40x and shows a state before the powder 100 is filled.

In other words, the pouch container 40x has a configuration in which the pouch container 10 is provided with the downward gusset sheet 41.

  FIG. 16 is a front view of the pouch container 40y and shows a state before the powder 100 is filled. The pouch container 40y is different from the pouch container 40 in that it includes a downward gusset sheet 41y instead of the downward gusset sheet 41. The downward gusset sheet 41y is a gusset sheet that is folded in a mountain so that a crease line 45y is formed at the upper end. As in the case of the downward gusset sheet 41, when the take-out port 21 is opened, the gusset portion 42y of the downward gusset sheet 41y is developed, and the first end portion of the gusset portion 42y becomes a scraped portion. In addition, a through hole may be formed in the gusset part 42y, and a spoon insertion part and a powder collection | recovery part may be provided.

  FIG. 17 is a front view of the pouch container 40z and shows a state before the powder 100 is filled. 18 is a cross-sectional view taken along line CC of FIG. In the pouch container 40z, a downward gusset sheet 41y is provided at a position overlapping the bag-like portions 30A and 30B in the front and back direction. According to the said structure, there exists an advantage that the capacity | capacitance of the filling part 14 increases. For example, the downward facing gusset sheet 41y is joined to the front and back sheets so as to be unfoldable by providing a joint portion 44y at a position overlapping the lower edge seal portions 33A and 33B. In this case, each sheet is heat-sealed using a double-sided heat-sealable sheet for the sheets 31A and 31B, or a notch is formed in the sheets 31A and 31B to directly bond the downward gusset sheet 41y and the front and back sheets.

The upward gusset sheet 51 has two gusset portions 52 and 52 z connected by a connecting portion 53.

  The gusset portion 52 forms a scraped portion 58 when the take-out port 21 is opened. As for the gusset part 52, it is suitable for the 2nd end part to be joined to the front and back sheets by the side seal part 17. The first end portion of the gusset portion 52 is not joined to the front and back sheets, and becomes a scraped portion 58 (see FIG. 20) when the extraction port 21 is opened and the gusset portion 52 is developed.

  The gusset part 52z functions as a spoon holding part. In the gusset portion 52z, a cut portion 56 is formed at a portion where the fold line 55z is formed from the second end portion to the vicinity of the central portion in the lateral direction of the gusset portion 52z. The cut part 56 may be formed by, for example, one cut line cut along the crease line 55z, or may be formed by cutting the sheet into a substantially U-shape. The handle of the measuring spoon 101 is inserted through the cut portion 56 from the second end. In a state where the take-out port 21 is closed and the gusset portion 52z is folded, the handle of the measuring spoon 101 is sandwiched between the front half and the back half of the gusset portion 52z.

  The powder recovery part 57 can be provided by not forming the joining part 54 at a part of the lower end part of the gusset parts 52 and 52z. In this embodiment, the joining part 54 is formed only in a part of the gusset parts 52 and 52z. In other portions, the front and back sheets and the gusset portions 52 and 52z are not joined, and the powder recovery is a gap that allows the powder 100 to drop into the filling portion 14 between the front and back sheets and each gusset portion. A portion 57 is provided. In addition, the connecting portion 53 is not formed with the joint portion 54, and a gap is also provided between the front and back sheets and the connecting portion 53. The gap functions as a powder collecting unit 57 and can also be used as a holding unit for the measuring spoon 102.

<Fourth embodiment>

The downward gusset sheet 61 is common to the pouch container 50 in that it has two gusset portions 62, but each gusset portion 62 forms a scraped portion 68 when the takeout port 21 is opened.

  The downward gusset sheet 61 is provided so as to cover the entire area on the filling portion 14 in an unopened state. That is, the gusset opening P (see FIG. 22 described later) is not formed in the downward gusset sheet 61 in the unopened state. The downward gusset sheet 61 is characterized in that a gusset opening P is formed along with the opening of the take-out port 21, and has an opening auxiliary portion for forming the gusset opening P. When the take-out port 21 is opened, the gusset opening P is formed by the function of the opening auxiliary portion, and the opening edge portion becomes the scraping portion 68.

  In the present embodiment, the opening assisting portion includes two perforation lines 69a formed so as to intersect with the crease line 65, and a perforation line 69b formed so as to intersect with the perforation line 69a. The perforation line 69 b is a cutting auxiliary line for forming the gusset opening P, and is preferably formed on the crease line 65. The perforation line 69a is a cutting auxiliary line for enlarging the gusset opening P and forming the scraping part 68, and is preferably formed substantially orthogonally at both ends of the perforation line 69b. As the cutting auxiliary line, a half-cut line may be used instead of or along with the perforation line.

  The downward gusset sheet 61 preferably has a seal portion 66 on the lid portion 63 partitioned by each perforation line. The lid 63 is a portion that closes the gusset opening P. The seal portion 66 joins the front half and the back half of the downward gusset sheet 61 and the inner surfaces of the front and back sheets. That is, the lid 63 is fixed to the front and back sheets and is a non-deployed part that does not deploy. The formation pattern of the seal portion 66 is not limited to that illustrated in FIG.

  FIG. 23 is a view showing a state in which the takeout port 21 of the pouch container 60 is opened (a configuration above the downward gusset sheet 61 is omitted). For example, when the takeout port 21 is opened using the bag-like portions 30A and 30B, the downward gusset sheet 61 is cut at each perforation line, and the gusset opening P is formed. That is, by using the force acting on the downward gusset sheet 61 when the take-out port 21 is opened, the downward gusset sheet 61 is cut at each perforation line that separates the lid portion 63 from the other portions, and the gusset opening P is formed. It becomes possible. The unfolded gusset portion 62 becomes a scraped portion 68 in which the opening edge portion of the gusset opening P is used for scraping and weighing the powder 100.
