Abstract

A liquid container includes: an accommodating portion that accommodates a liquid and has an opening portion at an upper end thereof, a sealing film that seals the opening portion and that is capable of being perforated by being pierced by a perforating tool; and at least one linear pressure indentation that is linear and that is formed on a surface of the sealing film, wherein, a length of at least one pressure indentation is a length equal to or greater than 50% of a length from an end portion to an end portion of the opening portion in a direction in which the pressure indentation extends.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . A liquid container comprising:
an accommodating portion that accommodates a liquid and has an opening portion at an upper end thereof, a sealing film that seals the opening portion and that is capable of being perforated by being pierced by a perforating tool; and at least one pressure indentation that is linear and is formed on a surface of the sealing film, wherein a length of the at least one pressure indentation is a length equal to or greater than 50% of a length from an end portion to an end portion of the opening portion in a direction in which the pressure indentation extends.

2 . The liquid container according to claim 1 ,
wherein the opening portion has, in a plan view, two directions of a first direction in which a distance between inner edges is relatively long and a second direction which is orthogonal to the first direction and in which the distance is relatively short, and the length of the at least one pressure indentation is longer than the distance along the second direction of the opening portion.

3 . The liquid container according to claim 1 ,
wherein a plurality of the pressure indentations are formed and intersect with each other at one intersection.

4 . The liquid container according to claim 3 ,
wherein two of the pressure indentations are formed to intersect with each other at a central point of the pressure indentations.

5 . The liquid container according to claim 4 ,
wherein the pressure indentations intersect with each other at a central point of the opening portion.

6 . The liquid container according to claim 4 ,
wherein the pressure indentations are orthogonal to each other.

7 . The liquid container according to claim 1 ,
wherein a planar shape of the opening portion is an elongated circular shape.

8 . The liquid container according to claim 1 ,
wherein a plurality of the accommodating portions are provided, and the opening portions of the accommodating portions are arranged side by side.

9 . The liquid container according to claim 8 ,
wherein the pressure indentation is provided in each of the opening portions.

10 . The liquid container according to claim 1 ,
wherein the sealing film is made of aluminum.
