Abstract

A paper inner container for storage of refilling liquid content, which enables a suction port to be easily formed at a center of an upper surface thereof. The paper inner container includes: four body panels, which form a body having a square tubular shape; and a pair of upper-surface forming panels and a pair of side panels, which are continuously provided on upper edges of the body panels to form an upper surface. The pair of upper-surface forming panels face each other and overlap in a vertical direction. The pair of side panels are positioned between the pair of upper-surface forming panels to face each other and are folded up along with overlapping of the upper-surface forming panels. The pair of upper-surface forming panels have holes, which are formed at centers of the upper-surface forming panels to serve as a suction port.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A paper inner container for storage of a refilling liquid content, which has a suction port that is formed in an upper surface thereof and allows insertion of a suction tube of a pump configured to pump up a liquid content and to dispense the liquid content to an outside of the paper inner container,
the paper inner container being made of a paper material having a thermoplastic resin laminated on both of its surfaces, and comprising:
four body panels, which form a body having a square tubular shape by coupling an edge of one of the four body panels to a vertical direction sealing panel; and
a pair of upper-surface forming panels and a pair of side panels, which are continuously provided on upper edges of the four body panels to form the upper surface of the paper inner container,
wherein the pair of upper-surface forming panels face each other and overlap in a vertical direction of the paper inner container,
wherein the pair of side panels are positioned between the pair of upper-surface forming panels to face each other and are folded up outwardly from the pair of upper-surface forming panels while also overlapping the pair of upper-surface forming panels,
wherein the pair of upper-surface forming panels have holes, which are formed at centers of the pair of upper-surface forming panels to serve as the suction port,
wherein one of the holes, which is formed in at least a lower upper-surface forming panel of the pair of upper-surface forming panels, is sealed by a tearable film, and
wherein a periphery of the lower upper-surface forming panel of the pair of upper-surface forming panels, an upper upper-surface forming panel of the pair of upper-surface forming panels, and the pair of side panels are bonded to each other to seal the paper inner container.

2. A paper inner container for storage of a refilling liquid content according to claim 1 ,
wherein a pair of gable roof-shaped bottom surface forming panels face each other, and have outer sealing panels, which have a belt-like shape, at lower portions thereof,
wherein a pair of gable wall-shaped bottom surface forming panels face each other, and have inner sealing panels, which have a belt-like shape and a height smaller than a height of the outer sealing panels,
wherein the pair of gable wall-shaped bottom surface forming panels are folded in between the pair of gable roof-shaped bottom surface forming panels, and facing surfaces of the outer sealing panels, which face each other, are bonded to each other to seal the paper inner container, and
wherein facing surfaces of the outer sealing panels and the inner sealing panels, and facing surfaces of the inner sealing panels are bonded to each other to seal the paper inner container.
