Provided is a container whose shape for discharging contents is hardly expandable laterally, the container including a container body holding contents and a lid member for closing an opening of the container body which are sealed with each other by an annular seal portion formed along a flanged face of the opening. At a specified position of the annular seal portion, there is provided a detaching seal portion which is to be detached by an increase of inside pressure inside the container body in association with deformation of the container body based on an external force. An outflow channel for discharging the contents therethrough extends radially outwards from the detaching seal portion. At a position of the container body corresponding to the outflow channel of the flanged face, there is formed an outflow groove which is sunk toward a bottom portion of the container body.

Container

Provided is a container that allows a portion where detachment starts to be fixed at a specified position in a more reliable manner, thus allowing contents to be discharged in a direction expected by a user, allowing eventually reduction in the amount of contents to remain in the container in the end. The container includes a container body holding contents therein and a lid member, the container body and the lid member being sealed by an annular seal portion formed along a flanged face of the opening. There is provided a detaching seal portion which is detached in response to increase of pressure inside the container body associated with deformation of the container body. The detaching seal portion includes a reverse-oriented annular seal portion which occupies a part of a width of the flanged face and which projects toward a radial inner side of the opening.

Provided is a container with which a width and a position of a lid member to be unsealed can be readily made constant, thus making it less likely for contents to be discharged too vigorously and making it easy to predict the discharging direction of the contents. A container body and a lid member of the container body are sealed to each other via an annular seal portion formed along a flanged face of the opening. At a specified position of the annular seal portion, there is provided a detaching seal portion which is to be detached in response to increase of an inside pressure of the container body associated with deformation of the container body based on an external force. At positions facing each other across the detaching seal portion, there are provided non-detaching seal portions comprised of a plurality of annular seal portions extending along a circumferential direction.

Provided is a container with which its body can be deformed with a same external force until most of the contents has been discharged from the container body and to cause the final shape after the deformation to be a constant shape. Also provided is a container with which the contents discharged can be rendered constant, thus making it possible to obtain a diluted product having a constant concentration. The container includes a bottomed container body and a lid member, the container body and the lid member being sealed by an annular seal portion. There is provided a detaching seal portion which is detached in response to increase of pressure inside the container body associated with deformation of the container body. There is also provided a deformation controlling recess whose width is progressively reduced from a back face side of the flange toward the bottom face side.

A container is provided that includes a container body and a lid member, the container body and the lid member being sealed by an annular seal portion. There is provided a detaching seal portion which is detached in response to increase of pressure inside the container body associated with deformation of the container body. The annular seal portion is formed by a pressing operation of pressing the lid member against the flange via a seal bar having at its leading end an annular projection having a shape corresponding to the annular seal portion, a groove-like sunk portion corresponding to the annular projection being formed in the flange by the pressing operation. At least a portion of the sunk portion formed in the detaching seal portion comprises an uneven groove having a cross sectional shape with a smaller curvature radius on its radial inner side than its radial outer side.

Container and seal bar

Provided is a portion container whose detaching seal portion can be easily detached by a stress applied from a radial inner side based on an inside pressure of a container body, but can be hardly detached by a stress applied from the outside during distribution. Provided also are a seal head for sealing such container and a container sealed with using such seal head. The seal head includes pressing end portions for pressing a lid member against a flange of an opening. At least a portion of the pressing end portions is formed as an uneven projecting portion having different curvature radii in its cross sectional contour between a radial inner portion and a radial outer portion of the opening.

Packaging container

To provide a packaging material for boiling treatment or retort treatment that is inexpensive and has excellent low-elution properties and transparency, as well as a pouch comprising the same. A packaging material for boil/retort treatment having at least a transparent gas barrier film layer, an adhesive layer and a sealant film layer in that order, the packaging material for boil/retort treatment being one in which, when it is heated at 121&#xb0; C. for 2 hours by contact with a sufficient amount of 95% ethanol in a one-side elution test, the masses of the unreacted residual &#x3b5;-caprolactam and &#x3c9;-laurolactam eluting into the 95% ethanol are no greater than 0.15 mg and no greater than 0.04 mg, respectively, per square inch of the sealant film layer, and a pouch comprising the material.
