Abstract

A package ( 1 ) of the present invention has a container ( 3 ) containing a packaged material ( 2 ), a covering sheet ( 4 ) fixed to so as to cover a dispensing slot ( 31 ) of the container ( 3 ), and a reseal label ( 5 ) stuck so as to cover a dispensing slot ( 41 ) of the covering sheet ( 4 ). The reseal label ( 5 ) has a fixed portion ( 51 ) and a reseal portion ( 52 ) capable of being peeled and lifted. The container ( 3 ) has a projecting container cutting line ( 32 ) to form the dispensing slot ( 31 ). The covering sheet ( 4 ) has, outside the container cutting line ( 32 ), a projecting covering-sheet cutting line ( 42 ) to form the dispensing slot ( 41 ). When the reseal portion ( 52 ) of the reseal label ( 5 ) is lifted, a root portion ( 52 a ) of the reseal portion ( 52 ) has a three-layered portion composed of the reseal label ( 5 ), a separation piece ( 420 ) separated along the covering-sheet cutting line ( 42 ), and a separation piece ( 320 ) separated along the container cutting line ( 32 ).

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A package provided with a container containing a packaged material, a covering sheet fixed so as to cover a dispensing slot which is to be formed in the container and which is for taking out the packaged material, and a reseal label stuck to an upper face of the covering sheet so as to cover a dispensing slot which is to be formed in the covering sheet and which is for taking out the packaged material, wherein
the package has a first direction corresponding to an opening and closing direction of the reseal label, and a second direction orthogonal to the first direction,
the reseal label has a fixed portion, which is fixed to the covering sheet, at one end portion side in the first direction, and a reseal portion capable of being peeled and lifted from the other end portion side of the reseal label in the first direction toward the fixed portion,
the container has, on an upper face of the container, a container cutting line to form the dispensing slot of the container, and the container cutting line is formed so as to project from the fixed portion side of the reseal label toward the other end portion side of the reseal label,
the covering sheet has, outside the container cutting line, a covering-sheet cutting line to form the dispensing slot of the covering sheet and formed so as to project from the fixed portion side of the reseal label toward the other end portion side of the reseal label,
a strip-like non-sticking portion including the covering-sheet cutting line is formed along the covering-sheet cutting line on a face facing the container of the covering sheet, and
when the reseal portion of the reseal label is lifted in a case of taking out the packaged material, a root portion of the reseal label has a three-layered portion including the reseal label, a separation piece of the covering sheet fixed to the reseal label and separated along the covering-sheet cutting line, and a separation piece of the container fixed to the separation piece of the covering sheet and separated along the container cutting line.

2. The package according to claim 1 , wherein anti-tearing portions are formed at both end portions of the container cutting line, respectively.

3. The package according to claim 1 , wherein anti-tearing portions are formed at both end portions of the covering-sheet cutting line in the covering sheet, respectively.

4. The package according to claim 2 , wherein the anti-tearing portions of the container cutting line or the anti-tearing portions of the covering sheet are formed in an arc shape.

5. The package according to claim 1 , wherein the positions of both the end portions of the container cutting line are coincident with the positions of both the end portions of the covering-sheet cutting line.

6. The package according to claim 1 , wherein the positions of both the end portions of the container cutting line are disposed closer to the one end portion side of the reseal label than the positions of both the end portions of the covering-sheet cutting line.

7. The package according to claim 1 , wherein the positions of both the end portions of the container cutting line are disposed closer to the other end portion side of the reseal label than the positions of both the end portions of the covering-sheet cutting line.

8. The package according to claim 1 , wherein the reseal label has a pair of notched portions at the one end portion side.

9. The package according to claim 1 , wherein the container cutting line has a pair of lateral side edges extending in the first direction, and
the pair of lateral side edges extends in parallel to each other in the first direction, extends so as to gradually increase a distance between the pair of lateral side edges from a front side toward a rear side in the first direction, or extends so as to gradually decrease a distance between the pair of lateral side edges from a front side toward a rear side in the first direction.

10. The package according to claim 1 , wherein the container cutting line has a pair of lateral side edges extending in the first direction,
the pair of lateral side edges of the container cutting line has a pair of first linear portions parallel to each other, and a pair of second linear portions extending toward the one end portion side of the reseal label continuously from the pair of first linear portions, and
the pair of second linear portions is formed such that a distance in the second direction between the pair of second linear portions gradually decreases from the other end portion side of the reseal label toward the one end portion side.

11. The package according to claim 1 , wherein the covering-sheet cutting line has a pair of lateral side edges extending in the first direction, and
the pair of lateral side edges of the covering-sheet cutting line extends in parallel to each other in the first direction, extends so as to gradually increase a distance between the pair of lateral side edges from a front side toward a rear side in the first direction, or extends so as to gradually decrease a distance between the pair of lateral side edges from a front side toward a rear side in the first direction.

12. The package according to claim 1 , wherein the covering-sheet cutting line has a pair of lateral side edges extending in the first direction,
the pair of lateral side edges of the covering-sheet cutting line has a pair of first linear portions parallel to each other, and a pair of second linear portions extending toward the one end portion side of the reseal label continuously from the pair of first linear portions, and
the pair of second linear portions is formed such that a distance in the second direction between the pair of second linear portions gradually decreases from the other end portion side of the reseal label toward the one end portion.

13. The package according to claim 1 , wherein a front end edge of the container cutting line is formed in an arc shape projecting frontward in the first direction, or
the front end edge linearly extends in a widthwise direction.
