A funnel component, and a packaging container using the funnel component are provided. A funnel component includes: a funnel portion having a diameter that is increased from a narrow opening side toward a wide opening side; a discharge portion that connects with an end portion on the narrow opening side; and a side wall portion that surrounds an opening portion, on the wide opening side, of the funnel portion, connects with the funnel portion, and is fitted into the container body. The funnel component is integrally formed by a sheet member including paper and sealant layer. A folded portion is formed, by the sheet member being folded back and welded over entire circumference, at an opening portion of the discharge portion. The packaging container is formed by the funnel component being fitted into a container body having an open end, a bottom portion, and a side wall.

Funnel component and packaging container using funnel component

A package has an air sealed portion near an outer edge of the package to allow part of the package to float above water.

Package with sealed air portion for floatation

A container is provided that is used as a container permitting easy transfer into another container without spilling of contents at the time of work of refilling. The present invention relates to a container that is fitted in a container body of tubular shape having an open end, a bottom part and a side wall and that transfers contents into a preservation container. This container has: a funnel component () provided with a funnel () whose diameter decreases from a larger opening side toward a smaller opening side and provided with a plurality of ribs () that extend radially from the center of an opening part () on the smaller opening side of the funnel () so as to bridge a part with another part of the inner surface of the opening part () on the smaller opening side; and a container body.

Container and package using the same

The invention aims at providing a container for refill that enables transfer of the contents with one action and successfully secure the self-supporting property of the container for allowing the safe transfer. The opening portion (A) of body () of a cup-shaped container is provided internally with a hopper () tapering toward the opening portion (A). Ribs () are integrally provided between the outside of the hopper () and the inside of a ring (A) and arranged circumferentially at predetermined intervals. Height H from the top surface of the rib () to the opening (C) of hopper () is approximately a quarter or more of diameter &#x3c6; of the opening (C) of hopper (). A lid () tearable by pressing is attached to the opening portion (A) so as to enable the instant coffee P to be directly supplied through the mouth (A) of a refillable container () while being gathered to a central portion by the hopper () by inverting the container body () and pressing the lid () against the mouth (A) of container () to tear the lid ().
