CONTAINER AND CONTAINER WITH ENCLOSED CONTENTS
A container includes a bag, which has an internal space to accommodate contents and a first opening, and a fastener to open and close the first opening. The bag places contents into the internal space through the first opening. The bag also has a second opening and also places contents into the internal space through the second opening.
1 . A container comprising:
a bag including an internal space to accommodate a content and a first opening; and
a fastener to open and close the first opening,
wherein the bag further includes a second opening and is adapted to place the content in the internal space through the second opening, and
the second opening is adapted to be sealed by thermal welding.
2 . The container according to claim 1 , wherein
the bag includes a bag body forming the internal space, and
the second opening is formed in a protruding portion extending outward of the bag from a lateral portion of the bag body.
3 . The container according to claim 2 , wherein
the container has a form of a free-standing container and includes a bottom gusset, and
the bottom gusset supports the bag body.
4 . The container according to claim 1 , wherein the bag includes a vapor passage portion to remove vapor from the internal space.
5 . The container according to claim 1 , wherein the fastener includes a high engaging-strength portion and a low engaging-strength portion.
6 . The container according to claim 5 , wherein the low engaging-strength portion has an engaging strength in the range of 0% to 90% of an engaging strength of the high engaging-strength portion.
7 . The container according to claim 5 , wherein a length of the low engaging-strength portion in a longitudinal direction of the fastener is in the range of 5% to 70% of a length of the fastener in the longitudinal direction.
8 . The container according to claim 4 , wherein
the bag includes a vapor passage sealing portion to seal the vapor passage portion, and
the vapor passage sealing portion can be separated from the vapor passage portion.
9 . The container according to claim 8 , wherein
the bag further includes a vapor passage guide line, and
the vapor passage sealing portion can be separated from the vapor passage portion along the vapor passage guide line.
10 . The container according to claim 1 , wherein
the bag includes
an opening sealing portion formed at the edge of the first opening to close the first opening,
an opening guide line to separate the opening sealing portion from the first opening,
a vapor passage portion to remove vapor from the internal space,
a vapor passage sealing portion to close the vapor passage portion,
a vapor passage guide line for separate the vapor passage sealing portion from the vapor passage portion, and
a cutting portion to cut at least the fastener,
the opening sealing portion can be separated from the first opening along the opening guide line,
the vapor passage sealing portion can be separated from the vapor passage portion along the vapor passage guide line,
the first opening is formed to be continuous with the vapor passage portion,
the opening sealing portion is formed to be continuous with the vapor passage sealing portion,
the fastener is formed to bridge the first opening and the vapor passage sealing portion and includes an opening fastener portion located on the first opening and a vapor passage fastener portion located on the vapor passage sealing portion, and
the cutting portion is formed at a position corresponding to an end of the vapor passage guide line.
11 . The container according to claim 10 , wherein
the bag includes a bag predetermined portion located closer to the internal space than the fastener, and
the cutting portion includes
an intermediate cutting portion to cut the fastener,
a first predetermined cutting portion that is continuous with the intermediate cutting portion and cuts the bag predetermined portion,
a second predetermined cutting portion located at an end of the first predetermined cutting portion that is closer to the internal space, and
a separating portion to separate the first predetermined cutting portion from the second predetermined cutting portion.
12 . The container according to claim 10 , wherein
the bag includes, on an extension of the cutting portion
a cutting restraining portion, and
a sealing portion having at least the opening sealing portion and the vapor passage sealing portion, and
the cutting restraining portion functions to prevent cutting of the sealing portion along the extension of the cutting portion from reaching the internal space.
13 . The container according to claim 1 , wherein
the bag further includes an easily-openable sealing portion to open and close the first opening, and
the easily-openable sealing portion is formed between the fastener and the internal space in the first opening.
14 . A content sealing container comprising:
the container according to claim 1 , wherein the second opening is sealed; and
a content accommodated in the bag of the container.
