Abstract

The present invention is a self-standing spout-equipped packaging bag (1), including a bag body (10) that stores contents, and a spout (12) that is attached to an upper portion of the bag body (10). The bag body (10) includes a tubular barrel portion (20), and a bottom portion (22) which is attached to block an opening end of a lower part of the barrel portion (20). The spout (12) includes a tubular nozzle portion (14), and a flange portion (16) which projects from an outer surface of the nozzle portion (14). An upper end part (21) of the tubular barrel portion (20) over an entire circumference is liquid-tightly adhered to an upper surface (16e) of the flange portion (16) in a state of following a shape of the flange portion (16) in plan view to be in the same shape.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A self-standing spout-equipped packaging bag, comprising:
a bag body that stores contents; and
a spout that is attached to an upper portion of the bag body,
wherein the bag body includes a tubular barrel portion, and a bottom portion which is attached to block an opening end of a lower part of the barrel portion,
wherein the spout includes a tubular nozzle portion, and a flange portion which projects from an outer surface of the nozzle portion,
wherein a shape of the flange portion in plane view has a polygonal shape formed of a plurality of sides or a shape in which at least one of a plurality of corners in a polygonal shape formed of a plurality of sides has an arc shape,
wherein the flange portion is inserted into an upper portion of the tubular barrel portion,
wherein an upper end part of the tubular barrel portion includes a plurality of parts corresponding to the plurality of sides of the flange portion, each of the plurality of parts of the upper end part is individually bent along each of the plurality of sides of the flange portion and is liquid-tightly adhered to an upper surface of the flange portion such that the upper end part of the tubular barrel portion follows the shape of the flange portion in plane view to be in the same shape,
wherein the barrel portion has a tubular shape with no side seal portion which projects outward in plane view,
wherein two side ends of a barrel member forming the barrel portion are caused to abut each other and an adhesive film overlaps inner surfaces of the two side ends, or an inner surface of one of two side ends of a barrel member forming the barrel portion and an outer surface of the other of the two side ends are adhered to each other,
wherein the barrel portion is configured to be changed into a flat shape including a front surface portion and a rear surface portion,
wherein one of the front and rear surface portions is provided with two first fold lines, the two first fold lines extend from two ends of one side of the flange portion to two side edges of the flat shape of the barrel portion, the one side of the flange portion extends in a width direction of the barrel portion, and each first fold line diagonally extends from one end of the one side of the flange portion to an outside in the width direction and the bottom portion of the bag body,
wherein the one of the front and rear surface portions is provided with a second fold line connecting intersection points between the two first fold lines and the two side edges, and
wherein a distance between each intersection point and the one side of the flange portion in an up-down direction of the barrel portion is half a distance between the one side and another side of the flange portion, and the one side and the other side are opposite to each other and extend in the width direction of the barrel portion.

2. The spout-equipped packaging bag according to claim 1 ,
wherein the upper end part of the barrel portion is folded on the upper surface of the flange portion and is adhered to the upper surface in a state of following the shape of the flange portion in plane view to be in the same shape.

3. The spout-equipped packaging bag according to claim 1 ,
wherein the bottom portion folded in half is positioned inside of the barrel portion while having a fold line thereof on an upper side, each of side ends of the bottom portion is adhered to an inner surface of the barrel portion by means of an adhesive film, and the barrel portion and the bottom portion are adhered to each other throughout the entire circumference of the barrel portion of a lower part of the barrel portion.

4. A spout-equipped packaging bag that contains contents,
wherein the contents are stored inside of the bag body of the spout-equipped packaging bag according to claim 1 .

5. A manufacturing method for a self-standing spout-equipped packaging bag including a bag body that stores contents, and a spout that is attached to an upper portion of the bag body,
the bag body including a tubular barrel portion, and a bottom portion which is attached to block an opening end of a lower part of the barrel portion,
the spout including a tubular nozzle portion, and a flange portion which protrudes from an outer surface of the nozzle portion,
a shape of the flange portion in plane view having a polygonal shape formed of a plurality of sides or a shape in which at least one of a plurality of corners in a polygonal shape formed of a plurality of sides has an arc shape,
the barrel portion having a tubular shape with no side seal portion which projects outward in plane view,
the barrel portion being configured to be changed into a flat shape including a front surface portion and a rear surface portion,
one of the front and rear surface portions being provided with two first fold lines, the two first fold lines extending from two ends of one side of the flange portion to two side edges of the flat shape of the barrel portion, the one side of the flange portion extending in a width direction of the barrel portion, and each first fold line diagonally extending from one end of the one side of the flange portion to an outside in the width direction and the bottom portion of the bag body,
the one of the front and rear surface portions being provided with a second fold line connecting intersection points between the two first fold lines and the two side edges, and
a distance between each intersection point and the one side of the flange portion in an up-down direction of the barrel portion being half a distance between the one side and another side of the flange portion, and the one side and the other side being opposite to each other and extending in the width direction of the barrel portion,
the manufacturing method comprising:
inserting the flange portion into an upper portion of the tubular barrel portion;
individually bending each of a plurality of parts included in an upper end part of the tubular barrel portion, the plurality of parts of the upper end part corresponding to the plurality of sides of the flange portion, along each of the plurality of sides of the flange portion, and liquid-tightly adhering each of the plurality of parts of the upper end part on an upper surface of the flange portion such that the upper end part of the tubular barrel portion follows the shape of the flange portion in plane view to be in the same shape, in a state where the barrel portion is folded along the first and second fold lines and is changed into the flat shape, and
causing two side ends of a barrel member forming the barrel portion to abut each other and causing an adhesive film to overlap inner surfaces of the two side ends, or adhering an inner surface of one of two side ends of a barrel member forming the barrel portion to an outer surface of the other of the two side ends.

6. The manufacturing method for a spout-equipped packaging bag according to claim 5 ,
wherein the shape of the flange portion in plane view is substantially a polygonal shape, and
wherein the entire upper end part of the barrel portion is liquid-tightly adhered to the upper surface of the flange portion by repeating an operation in which a portion of the upper end part of the barrel portion is bent along one side of the flange portion and is adhered to the upper surface of the flange portion.
