## Abstract

The blow-molded container of this invention comprises an outer layer (2) of a synthetic resin, which forms the outer shell of a finite shape; an inner layer (3) of a flexible synthetic resin, which is peelably laminated with the outer layer (2) and forms an inner bag; and a pair of adhered zones (4) of a vertical strip type, which is formed axisymmetrically on the central axis of container (1) to adhere and fix the outer layer (2) and the inner layer (3) over the entire height and is located so as to avoid the positions of air introduction ports (9) that have been provided in the outer layer (2) to introduce air into the void between the outer layer (2) and the inner layer (3). In this configuration, a pair of adhered zones (4) is disposed at positions opposite to each other and is separated by a parting line (5). The lower ends of both adhered zones (4) are disposed at the partly or wholly end-to-end position facing each other on the bottom seal formed when the bottom portion is pressed flat with the pinch-off of a blow mold. Because of this end-to-end facing position of the lower ends, the bottom seal has a full mechanical strength. Thus, there is provided a container of the delaminated type capable of molding by means of an ordinary mold and having high manufacturing efficiency.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A blow-molded container comprising:
an outer layer (2) of a synthetic resin, which forms the outer shell of a finite shape;
an inner layer (3) of a flexible synthetic resin, which is peelably laminated with the outer layer (2) and forms an inner bag; and
a pair of adhered zones (4) of a vertical strip type, which is formed axisymmetrically on the central axis of container (1) to adhere and fix the outer layer (2) and the inner layer (3) over the entire height and is located so as to avoid the positions of air introduction ports (9) that have been provided in the outer layer (2) to introduce air into the void between the outer layer (2) and the inner layer (3);
wherein the pair of adhered zones (4) is provided at positions opposite to each other and is separated by a parting line (5); and
wherein the lower ends of both adhered zones (4) are disposed at the partly or wholly end-to-end position facing each other on the bottom seal (10) formed when the bottom portion of the container is pressed flat with the pinch-off of a blow mold.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The blow-molded container according to claim 1, wherein the lower ends of both adhered zones (4) are dislocated from each other to such a degree that corresponding portions of the inner layer (11) are not flexibly deformed.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The blow-molded container according to claim 1, wherein the lower end of one adhered zone (4) is disposed at the wholly end-to-end position facing the counterpart of the other adhered zone (4).

### Claim 4 (depends on 1, 2)

The blow-molded container according to claim 1, 2, or 3, wherein the adhered zones (4) are disposed axisymmetrically on the central axis of the container (1) at positions dislocated from the parting line (5) by a central angle of roughly 90 degrees.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1, 2, 3, 4)

The blow-molded container according to claim 1, 2, 3 or 4 wherein a pair of air introduction ports (9) are provided, axisymmetrically on the central axis of the container (1), at two points in the outer layer (2) on or near the parting line (5).

### Claim 6 (depends on 1, 2, 3, 4)

The blow-molded container according to claim 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5, wherein the air introduction ports (9) are provided in the neck portions of the outer layer (2).
