Abstract

A liquid container with a spout is disclosed. A composite sheet for the container body comprises an innermost layer of a low-smelly and low-adsorbent resin and an outermost layer of a polyolefine resin. A sealing film comprising a liquid-contacting layer and a sealing layer both made of the low-smelly and low-adsorbent resin seals a spouting hole in the container body from inside the container body. The container body and the spout sandwich a connecting film and a spout-attached film. The connecting film has a hole in alignment with and adjoining the hole in the container body. The connecting film comprises an innermost layer of a polyolefine resin and an outermost layer of the same resin as the innermost resin of the container body. The connecting film is heatsealed to the outermost layer of the container body. The spout-attached film has a hole in alignment with and adjoining the hole in the container body. The hole in the spout-attached film has a smaller diameter than the hole in the container body. The spout-attached film comprises an outermost layer of a polyolefine resin and an innermost layer of the same resin as the innermost layer of the container body. The spout-attached film is heatsealed to an area between the connecting film and the sealing film so that the edge of the rear hole in the spout-attached film is positioned on a portion of the outermost layer of the sealing film adjoining the hole in the container body.

Dependent claims

A liquid container with a spout attached to an exterior surface of a part defining a spouting hole in the container body of a composite sheet, wherein:

the composite sheet has a layered composition of an innermost layer of a low-smelly and low-absorbent resin/a core of paper/an outermost layer of a polyolefin resin;
a sealing film sealing the hole in the composite sheet from inside the container body, the sealing film having a layered composition of a liquid-contacting layer/a core/a sealing layer, both the liquid-contacting layer and the sealing layer being made of a low-smelly and low-adsorbent resin;
a connecting film and a spout-attached film sandwiched between the container body and the spout of a polyolefin resin sequentially from said container body;
the connecting film having a hole coaxially adjoining the hole in the container body and having a diameter compatible with the hole in the container body, the connecting film having a layered composition of a container body side innermost layer of a polyolefin resin/a core/a spout-attached film side outermost layer of the same resin as the innermost layer of the container body, the innermost layer of the connecting film being heatsealed to the outermost layer of the container body;
the spout-attached film having a hole of smaller diameter than the hole in the container body, the hole in the spout attached film coaxially adjoining the hole in the container body;
the spout-attached film having a layered composition of a spout side outermost layer of a polyolefin resin/a core/a connecting film side innermost layer of the same resin as the innermost layer of the container body;
the spout-attached film being heatsealed to an area between the outermost layer of the connecting film and a portion of the outermost layer of the sealing film adjoining the hole in the container body so that a part of the spout-attached film surrounding the hole in the spout-attached film adjoins said portion of the outermost layer of the sealing film;
and
the spout being heatsealed to the outermost layer of the spout-attached film.

A liquid container with a spout attached to an exterior surface of a part thereof defining a first spouting hole in the container body of a composite sheet, comprising:

the composite sheet having a layered composition of an innermost layer of a low-smelly and low-adsorbent resin/a core of paper/an outermost layer of a polyolefin resin;
a sealing film sealing the hole in the composite sheet from inside and container body, said sealing film having a layered composition of a liquid-contacting layer/a core/a sealing layer, both the liquid-contacting layer and the sealing layer being made of a low-smelly and low-adsorbent resin;
a connecting film having a second hole coaxially adjoining the hole in said container body and having a diameter compatible with the first hole in said container body, said connecting film having a layered composition of a container body side innermost layer of a polyolefin resin/a core/a spout-attached film side outermost layer of the same resin as the innermost layer of said container body, the innermost layer of said connecting film being heatsealed to the outermost layer of said container body;
a spout-attached film having a third hole, the third hole having a smaller diameter than the first hole in said container body, the third hole in said spout-attached film coaxially adjoining the first hole in said container body, said spout-attached film having a layered composition of a spout side outermost layer of a polyolefin resin/a core/a connecting film side innermost layer of the same resin as the innermost layer of said container body, the spout-attached film being heatsealed to an area between the outermost layer of said connecting film and a portion of the outermost layer of said sealing film adjoining the first hole in said container body so that a part of said spout-attached film surrounding the third hole in said spout-attached film adjoins said portion of the outermost layer of said sealing film;
the spout of a polyolefin resin being heatsealed to the outermost layer of said spout-attached film;
and
said container body and said spout sandwiching said connecting and said spout-attached film sequentially arranged from said container body.
