It extends to the groove 29. Similarly, a portion of the main seal portion 31 connected to the second protruding seal portion 36 extends beyond the second point 361 to the groove portion 29 along the outer edge 271 of the flange portion 27. The portion of the main seal portion 31 connected to the first protruding seal portion 35 and the portion connected to the second protruding seal portion 36 are on the side opposite to the side where the protruding seal portion 34 is located as viewed from the groove portion 29. ,It is connected. As a result, the groove portion 29 is surrounded by the main seal portion 31 and the protruding seal portion 34 in a plan view.
[0047]
 In FIG. 7, reference numeral 38 indicates an edge portion on the groove 29 side of the closed seal portion 30 including the main seal portion 31 and the protruding seal portion 34, which surrounds the groove portion 29. In the following description, the edge portion indicated by reference numeral 38 is also referred to as a groove side edge portion. The groove side edge portion 38 includes an inner edge side end portion 38a located on the inner edge 272 side in the extending direction D2 of the groove portion 29, an outer edge side end portion 38b located on the outer edge 271 side in the extending direction D2 of the groove portion 29, and the groove portion 29. It has a pair of longitudinal edges 38c that extend along the extending direction D2. In the example shown in FIG. 7, the inner edge side end portion 38a constitutes a part of the edge portion of the protruding seal portion 34. The outer edge side end portion 38b constitutes a part of the edge portion of the main seal portion 31 at a position opposite to the inner edge side end portion 38a in the extending direction D2 of the groove portion 29.
[0048]
 In FIG. 7, reference numeral 39 represents a portion of the closed seal portion 30 located between the outer edge side end portion 38b and the outer edge 271 of the flange portion 27 in the extending direction D2 of the groove portion 29. In the following description, the seal portion represented by reference numeral 39 is also referred to as a groove portion outer edge side seal portion. The groove portion outer edge side seal portion 39 constitutes a part of the main seal portion 31. In FIG. 7, reference numeral W3 represents the width of the groove portion outer edge side seal portion 39 in the extending direction D2 of the groove portion 29. The width W3 is, for example, 2 mm or more and 15 mm or less.
[0049]
 In the example shown in FIG. 7, the width W3 of the groove portion outer edge side seal portion 39 in the extending direction D2 of the groove portion 29 is smaller than the width W2 of the tip portion 37 of the protruding seal portion 34 in the extending direction D2 of the groove portion 29. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and as in the examples shown in FIGS. 11, 13, 18, 21, and 22 described later, the width W3 of the groove outer edge side seal portion 39 is the width W2 of the tip portion 37 of the protruding seal portion 34. May be larger than.
[0050]
 (Details of Recession of Container)
 Subsequently, the recess 24 of the container 20 according to the first embodiment will be described in more detail with reference to FIG.
[0051]
 As described above, the recess 24 includes a pair of base 25 and deepest 26. As shown in FIG. 6, the deepest portion 26 is defined as the portion of the recess 24 that is farthest from the tangent line L1 or the tangent plane when the tangent line L1 or the tangent plane circumscribing the pair of base portions 25 is virtually drawn. To. Since the recess 24 including the pair of base portion 25 and the deepest portion 26 functions as a rib, it is less likely to be deformed than the other portions of the side portion 23. That is, the recess 24 has shape retention. Therefore, as will be described later, when a pressing force is applied to the body portion 21 of the container 20, the deepest portion 26 of the recess 24 is unlikely to be deformed outward.
[0052]
 In FIG. 6, reference numeral T1 represents the thickness of the side portion 23 at the base portion 25, and reference numeral T2 represents the thickness of the side portion 23 at the deepest portion 26. The thickness T2 of the side portion 23 in the deepest portion 26 is, for example, 0.05 mm or more and 0.4 mm or less. The thickness T2 of the side portion 23 in the deepest portion 26 may be smaller than the thickness T1 of the side portion 23 in the base portion 25. For example, the thickness T2 may be one time or less than the thickness T1. It is preferable that the difference between the thickness T2 and the thickness T1 is small in order for the recess 24 to stably have high shape retention as compared with the other portions of the side portion 23.
[0053]
 Further, as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5 described above, both the base portion 25 and the deepest portion 26 of the recess 24 are displaced in the vertical direction D1 so as to be displaced toward the center side of the container 20 from the flange portion 27 toward the bottom portion 22. On the other hand, it is inclined. As shown in FIG. 5, the inclination angle θ2 of the deepest portion 26 is an angle formed by a straight line L2 connecting the upper end 261 of the deepest portion 26 and the lower end 262 of the deepest portion 26 with respect to the vertical direction D1. Although not shown, the inclination angle of the base 25 is also the angle formed by the straight line connecting the upper end 251 of the base 25 and the lower end 252 of the base 25 with respect to the vertical direction D1.
[0054]
 When the container 20 is manufactured by the sheet molding method, the smaller the inclination angle of the base portion 25, the smaller the thickness T1 of the side portion 23 of the base portion 25. This is because the smaller the inclination angle of the base portion 25, the smaller the area of ​​the sheet used for sheet molding to form the side portion 23 of the base portion 25. Similarly, with respect to the deepest portion 26, as the inclination angle of the deepest portion 26 becomes smaller, the thickness T2 of the side portion 23 in the deepest portion 26 becomes smaller. Therefore, in order to increase the thickness T2 and improve the shape retention of the recess 24 in the deepest portion 26, the inclination angle of the deepest portion 26 is preferably large, for example, 3 ° or more. If the inclination angle of the deepest portion 26 becomes too large, the volume of the accommodating portion 16 becomes small, which is not preferable. Therefore, the inclination angle of the deepest portion 26 is preferably 10 ° or less, for example.
[0055]
 Further, in order to improve the shape retention of the recess 24 in the deepest portion 26, it is preferable that the difference between the inclination angle of the base portion 25 and the inclination angle of the deepest portion 26 is small, for example, 7 ° or less. As a result, the shape retention of the recess 24 can be stably increased as compared with the other portions of the side portion 23.
[0056]
 Next, the deformation that occurs in the recess 24 when a pressing force is applied to the body 21 of the container 20 will be described with reference to FIGS. 8 and 9. FIG. 8 is a perspective view showing how a pressing force F is applied to the bottom portion 22 of the empty container 20 to which the lid 50 is not joined. Further, FIG. 9 is a perspective view showing an empty container 20 deformed based on the pressing force. The empty container 20 can be obtained, for example, by peeling the lid 50 of the container with a lid 10 from the container 20 without deforming the container 20 and taking out the contents from the container 20.
[0057]
 In FIG. 8, reference numeral H1 represents the height of the container 20 (also referred to as the height before deformation) before the container 20 is deformed by applying the pressing force F. The height before deformation H1 is the distance in the vertical direction from the lowermost portion of the bottom portion 22 to the upper portion of the side portion 23 (the portion where the side portion 23 and the flange portion 27 are connected). In FIG. 9, reference numeral H2 represents the height of the container 20 after being deformed based on the pressing force (also referred to as the height after deformation). Here, the pressing force F is adjusted so that the height H2 after deformation is 0.9 × H1.
[0058]
 When a pressing force is applied to the bottom portion 22 of the container 20, the container 20 is deformed so that the bottom portion 22 is displaced toward the flange portion 27. Further, the deformation that the side portion 23 is displaced outward also occurs at least partially. For example, the arrow T shown in FIG. 9 indicates that the deepest portion 26 of the recess 24 is displaced outward.
[0059]
 As described above, the pressing force applied to the bottom portion 22 of the container 20 causes the bottom portion 22 to be deformed toward the flange portion 27 and the side portion 23 to be deformed to the outside. The deformation of the bottom portion 22 toward the flange portion 27 side contributes to increasing the pressure of the container 20. On the other hand, the outward deformation of the side portion 23 acts to inhibit the increase in pressure of the container 20. Therefore, in order to efficiently increase the pressure inside the container 20, the side portion 23 is prevented from being deformed outward when the bottom portion 22 of the container 20 is pressed toward the flange portion 27. It is preferable to configure 23. Here, in the first embodiment, the recess 24 is provided in the side portion 23. The deformation of the deepest portion 26 of the recess 24 to the outside acts to further hinder the increase in pressure of the container 20 as compared to the deformation of the other parts of the side portion 23 to the outside.
[0060]
 In consideration of such a problem, it is preferable to configure the recess 24 so that the recess 24 is suppressed from being deformed when the bottom 22 of the container 20 is pressed. Specifically, when the bottom portion 22 of the container 20 is pressed until the height H2 after deformation becomes 0.9 × H1, the shape-retaining height K indicated by reference numeral K in FIG. 9 is 0.5 × height before deformation. It is preferable to configure the recess 24 so that the value is H1 or higher. Here, the shape-retaining height K is the distance in the vertical direction D1 from the flange portion 27 to the boundary portion 263 of the deepest portion 26. The boundary portion 263 is a position corresponding to a pair of base portions 25 when the bottom portion 22 of the container 20 is pressed toward the flange portion 27 in the deepest portion 26 until the height H2 after deformation becomes 0.9 × H1. It is a portion that deforms outward to (the position of the tangent line or the tangent plane circumscribing the pair of bases 25). By configuring the recess 24 in this way, it is possible to prevent the pressing force applied to the bottom 22 of the container 20 from being used for deforming the deepest portion 26 of the recess 24. As a result, the pressure inside the container 20 can be efficiently increased, and the container 10 with a lid can be opened with a smaller pressing force.
[0061]
 As a specific method for forming the recess 24 so that the shape-retaining height K ≧ 0.5 × the height before deformation H1 is established, various methods can be considered. For example, it is conceivable to adjust the absolute value of the thickness T2 of the side portion 23 in the deepest portion 26, or to adjust the ratio of the thickness T2 to the thickness T1 of the side portion 23 in the base portion 25. It is also conceivable to adjust the inclination angle θ2 of the deepest portion 26 with respect to the vertical direction D1.
[0062]
 (Materials for Container and Lid)
 Hereinafter, an example of the materials constituting the container 20 and the lid 50 will be described.
[0063]
 As a material constituting the container 20, plastics such as polypropylene, polystyrene, and polyethylene terephthalate can be used. For example, when the container 20 is manufactured by the sheet molding method, an unstretched plastic film such as unstretched polypropylene or unstretched nylon can be used as the sheet material. The sheet material may be composed of a single layer or may include a plurality of layers. The container 20 may be manufactured by injection molding.
[0064]
 The material constituting the lid 50 is selected so that the lower surface of the lid 50 can be joined to the upper surface 274 of the flat portion 273 of the flange portion 27 of the container 20. For example, the lid 50 includes a base material layer and a sealant layer constituting the lower surface of the lid 50. The thickness of the lid 50 is, for example, 20 μm or more and 100 μm or less. As a material constituting the base material layer of the lid 50, a polyester resin such as polyethylene terephthalate, a polyamide resin such as nylon, polypropylene and the like can be used. Further, as a material constituting the sealant layer, polypropylene, a mixed resin of polypropylene and polyethylene, or the like can be used. A mixed resin of polypropylene and polyethylene is a material having a relatively small bonding force, which is also called an easy peel sealant. When both the base material layer and the sealant layer contain polypropylene, biaxially stretched polypropylene is used for the base material layer, and unstretched polypropylene is used for the sealant layer.
[0065]
 The lid 50 preferably has a tearability in the direction in which the fragile portion 40 extends, at least in a portion overlapping the fragile portion 40. Since the lid 50 has a tearability in the direction in which the fragile portion 40 extends, when the fragile portion 40 breaks the groove 29 of the container 20, it becomes easy to break the lid 50 together with the groove 29.
[0066]
 The configuration for realizing the tearability is arbitrary. For example, a half-cut line extending in the direction in which the fragile portion 40 extends may be provided in a portion of the lid 50 that overlaps with the fragile portion 40. The half-cut wire may or may not penetrate the base material layer of the lid 50. The half-cut line is formed by, for example, laser machining.
[0067]
 Further, the tearability of the lid 50 may be realized by the characteristics of the film or the laminate itself that constitutes the lid 50. For example, the tensile strength of the film constituting the base material layer of the lid 50 in the direction in which the fragile portion 40 extends may be larger than the tensile strength in the direction orthogonal to the direction in which the fragile portion 40 extends.
[0068]
 (Method for manufacturing a container
 with a lid ) Next, as an example of a method for manufacturing a container with a lid 10, a method for manufacturing the container with a lid 10 shown in FIGS. 1 to 5 will be described.
[0069]
 First, the container 20 is manufactured by using a sheet molding method. For example, although not shown, a male mold is arranged on the inner surface side of the sheet material, and a female mold is arranged on the outer surface side of the sheet material. Subsequently, with the portion of the sheet material constituting the flange portion 27 fixed, the male mold is relatively moved toward the female mold, and the portion of the sheet material constituting the body portion 21 is made into the female mold. Push it in. Thereby, the container 20 having the body portion 21 and the flange portion 27 can be obtained. Next, the groove 29 and the flat portion 273 of the flange portion 27 of the container 20 are brought into contact with a blade having a shape corresponding to the shape of the groove portion 29 and the flat portion 273 of the flange portion 27 from the lower surface side of the container 20. As a result, a half cut as shown in FIG. 5 is formed as the fragile portion 40.
[0070]
 Subsequently, after filling the accommodating portion 16 defined by the body portion 21 with the contents, the lid 50 is placed on the upper surface 274 of the flat portion 273 of the flange portion 27 of the container 20. After that, the portion of the lid 50 on which the closing seal portion 30 should be formed is heated using a hot plate or the like to melt the sealant layer of the lid 50. As a result, the lower surface of the lid 50 can be welded to the upper surface 274 of the flat portion 273 of the flange portion 27 of the container 20 via the closing seal portion 30. Then, if necessary, the container 20 and the lid 50 are cut out into a predetermined shape. In this way, the container with a lid 10 can be obtained.
[0071]
 As a method for producing the container 20, a known method such as an injection molding method can be appropriately used in addition to the above-mentioned sheet molding method.
[0072]
 (
 Action of Container with Lid ) Next, an example of the action of the container with lid 10 will be described. First, an example of the action of the container with a lid 10 when the protruding seal portion 34 is separated from the flange portion 27 at an unintended timing will be described.
[0073]
 As described above, the flange portion 27 of the container with a lid 10 of the first embodiment has a groove portion 29 located between the protruding seal portion 34 and the outer edge 271 of the flange portion 27. Therefore, even if the protruding seal portion 34 is separated due to the force received by the lidded container 10 during transportation of the lidded container 10, the contents leaked from the accommodating portion 16 are accommodated in the groove portion 29. can do. Further, the pressure increased in the accommodating portion 16 can be relaxed in the groove portion 29. Further, the closing seal portion 30 is configured to have a groove portion side edge portion 38 surrounding the groove portion 29. For example, in the extending direction D2 of the groove portion 29, a groove portion outer edge side seal portion 39 of the closed seal portion 30 is provided between the groove portion 29 and the outer edge 271 of the flange portion 27. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the contents contained in the groove 29 from leaking to the outside of the container with a lid 10 after leaking from the container 16.
[0074]
 As described above, in the first embodiment, even when the protruding seal portion 34 is separated from the flange portion 27 due to an unintended impact applied to the container with a lid 10 and the pressure of the accommodating portion 16 increases, the groove portion 29 Can relieve pressure. Further, it is possible to prevent the contents in the groove portion 29 from leaking to the outside of the container with a lid 10 by the groove portion outer edge side sealing portion 39. Therefore, the transportability and portability of the lidded container 10 can be improved.
[0075]
 As shown in the examples shown in FIGS. 11, 13, 18, 21, and 22, the width W3 of the groove outer edge side seal portion 39 of the closed seal portion 30 is larger than the width W2 of the tip portion 37 of the protruding seal portion 34. May be good. As a result, it is possible to prevent the groove portion outer edge side seal portion 39 from separating from the flange portion 27 when the contents leaking from the accommodating portion 16 are accommodated in the groove portion 29. As a result, it is possible to further prevent the contents contained in the groove 29 from leaking to the outside of the container with a lid 10.
[0076]
 Next, an example of the operation of the container with a lid 10 in a normal state will be described. That is, a method of opening the container with a lid 10 in a state where the protruding seal portion 34 is not separated will be described.
[0077]
 When opening the container with a lid 10, the user first breaks the flange portion 27 along the fragile portion 40. For example, a part of the flange portion 27 is torn along the fragile portion 40 so as to intersect the groove portion 29. As a result, as shown in FIG. 10, an opening 29a opened to the outside can be formed in the groove 29. Alternatively, the flange portion 27 including the groove portion 29 may be broken by bending the flange portion 27 along the fragile portion 40 to form an opening 29a in the groove portion 29.
[0078]
 Next, the user applies a pressing force to the bottom 22 of the container 20. For example, the container with a lid 10 is pressed with the thumb of one hand attached to the bottom 22 and the other fingers of one hand attached to the lid 50.
[0079]
 As an example, a case where the bottom portion 22 of the container 20 is pressed will be described. In this case, when the bottom portion 22 is pressed toward the flange portion 27, the container 20 is deformed so that the bottom portion 22 is displaced toward the flange portion 27. As a result, the pressure inside the container 20 increases. Here, in the first embodiment, the closed seal portion 30 has a protruding seal portion 34 including the tip portion 37. Therefore, due to the increase in pressure in the container 20, the tip portion 37 of the protruding seal portion 34 is separated before the main seal portion 31, and the flange portion 27 and the lid 50 of the container 20 are separated from each other at the position of the tip portion 37. A gap can be formed between them. As a result, at the position of the protruding seal portion 34, a gap can be formed between the flange portion 27 of the container 20 and the lid 50, and the groove portion 29 and the accommodating portion 16 can be passed through. Therefore, the contents contained in the accommodating portion 16 can be taken out to the outside through the portion where the protruding seal portion 34 is separated, the groove portion 29, and the opening portion 29a of the groove portion 29. At this time, the groove 29 can function as a flow path for discharging the contents contained in the container 20 to the outside.
[0080]
 It is possible to make various changes to the above-described first embodiment. Hereinafter, a modified example of the first embodiment will be described with reference to the drawings as necessary. In the following description and the drawings used in the following description, the same reference numerals as those used for the corresponding portions in the above-mentioned first embodiment shall be used for the portions that can be configured in the same manner as in the above-described first embodiment. , And the duplicate description will be omitted. Further, when it is clear that the action and effect obtained in the above-described first embodiment can be obtained in the modified example of the first embodiment, the description thereof may be omitted.
[0081]
 (First Deformation Example of Container) In
 the first embodiment described above, an example is shown in which the accommodating portion 16, that is, the inner edge 272 of the flange portion 27 has a substantially circular contour in a plan view. However, the contour of the inner edge 272 of the flange portion 27 in a plan view is not particularly limited as long as the desired contents can be accommodated in the container 20. Hereinafter, an example in which the inner edge 272 of the flange portion 27 has a substantially rectangular contour will be described with reference to FIGS. 11 and 12. Although not shown, the inner edge 272 of the flange portion 27 may have a polygonal contour other than a rectangular shape in a plan view.
[0082]
 FIG. 11 is a plan view showing a case where the lidded container 10 according to the first modification of the first embodiment of the container is viewed from the lid 50 side, and FIG. 12 shows the lidded container 10 at the bottom of the container 20. It is a bottom view which shows the case seen from the 22 side. In the examples shown in FIGS. 11 and 12, the inner edge 272 of the flange portion 27 has a rectangular portion 272b extending in a substantially rectangular shape and an inner protruding portion 272x protruding inward from the rectangular portion 272b.

[0083]
 As shown in FIGS. 11 and 12, a groove 29 is provided between the inner protruding portion 272x of the inner edge 272 of the flange portion 27 and the outer protruding portion 271y of the outer edge 271. The groove portion 29 extends from the inner edge 272 of the flange portion 27 toward the outer edge 271 so as not to reach the inner edge 272 and the outer edge 271. Also in this modification, preferably, the groove portion 29 overlaps with a virtual straight line Lc connecting the center point C and the tip of the inwardly protruding portion 272x in a plan view. Further, preferably, the groove portion 29 extends along a virtual straight line Lc connecting the center point C and the tip of the outer protruding portion 271y in a plan view.
[0084]
 As shown in FIGS. 11 and 12, also in this modification, at least the groove 29 of the flange 27 is provided with a fragile portion 40 for breaking the groove 29 in the direction in which the groove 29 intersects in the extending direction. Has been done. Therefore, when the container with a lid 10 is opened, the flange portion 27 including the groove portion 29 can be broken along the fragile portion 40 to form the opening 29a in the groove portion 29.
[0085]
 As shown in FIGS. 11 and 12, the fragile portion 40 may extend in a direction intersecting the extending direction of the groove portion 29 and may include a notch 41 provided in the outer edge 271 of the flange portion 27. In this case, the notch 41 of the fragile portion 40 can function as a starting point for tearing the flange portion 27 including the groove portion 29 along the direction in which the groove portion 29 intersects in the extending direction. Although not shown, the fragile portion 40 may extend in a direction intersecting the extending direction of the groove portion 29 and may include a notch provided in the outer edge 271 of the flange portion 27. Further, a notch or a notch may be formed in the outer edge of the lid 50 at the notch 41 of the flange portion 27 or the portion of the lid 50 that overlaps the notch.
[0086]
 Further, the fragile portion 40 of the above-mentioned container with a lid 10 shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 may include these notches and notches.
[0087]
 (Second Deformation Example of
 Container ) FIG. 13 is a plan view showing a case where the container with a lid 10 according to the second modification of the first embodiment of the container is viewed from the lid 50 side, and FIG. 14 is a plan view. It is a bottom view which shows the case where the container 10 with a lid is seen from the bottom 22 side of a container 20. As shown in FIGS. 13 and 14, the outer edge 271 of the container 20 according to the second modification of the first embodiment of the container has a groove parallel portion 271b extending parallel to the groove 29. In the examples shown in FIGS. 13 and 14, the outer edge 271 has a pair of groove parallel portions 271b that sandwich the groove 29 in a direction orthogonal to the extending direction of the groove 29. The fragile portion 40 extends from one of the pair of groove parallel portions 271b to the other.
[0088]
 FIG. 15 is a vertical cross-sectional view showing a case where the container 10 with a lid of FIG. 13 is cut along the lines XV-XV. As shown in FIG. 15, the bottom portion 22 of the container 20 according to the second modification of the first embodiment of the container has a recessed portion 221 protruding toward the lid 50 side. As shown in FIG. 14, the recessed portion 221 has a circular shape in a plan view.
[0089]
 The method of opening the container with a lid 10 according to the second modification of the first embodiment of the container will be described. As long as there is no contradiction, the description of the method of opening the container with a lid according to the second modification of the first embodiment of the container is with a lid according to the above-mentioned first embodiment and other modifications of the first embodiment. It also applies to container 10. When opening the container with a lid 10, the user first breaks the flange portion 27 along the fragile portion 40. As a result, the opening 29a opened to the outside is formed in the groove 29.
[0090]
 Next, the user holds the container 10 with a lid so that the lid 50 is located below and the bottom 22 of the container 20 is located above, as shown in FIG. In the example shown in FIG. 16, the user holds the lidded container 10 with one hand so that the bottom 22 of the container 20 is touched with a thumb and the lid 50 is touched with another finger. In the example shown in FIG. 16, the user holds the container 10 with a lid by touching the recessed portion 221 of the bottom portion 22 with his / her thumb.
[0091]
 Next, the user applies a pressing force to the bottom 22 of the container 20. In the example shown in FIG. 17, the user is pressing the bottom portion 22 with the thumb while supporting the lid 50 with a finger other than the thumb. In the example shown in FIG. 17, the user is pressing the recessed portion 221 of the bottom portion 22 with his / her thumb. By pressing the bottom portion 22, the container 20 is deformed so that the bottom portion 22 is displaced toward the flange portion 27, and the pressure inside the container 20 increases. As a result, the tip portion 37 of the protruding seal portion 34 is separated, a gap is formed between the flange portion 27 of the container 20 and the lid 50 at the position of the tip portion 37, and the groove portion 29 and the accommodating portion 16 are passed through. Can be done. Therefore, the contents contained in the accommodating portion 16 can be taken out to the outside through the portion where the protruding seal portion 34 is separated, the groove portion 29, and the opening portion 29a of the groove portion 29.
[0092]
 (Third Deformation Example of Container) In each of the
 above-mentioned first embodiment and each modification of the first embodiment, an example in which the fragile portion 40 is provided at least in the groove portion 29 is shown. However, the position where the fragile portion 40 is provided is not limited to this. Hereinafter, a third modification of the first embodiment of the container will be described with reference to FIGS. 18, 19, and 20.

Further, the flow path portion 29b has an elongated shape in a plan view. Further, the flow path portion 29b is arranged apart from the accommodating portion 16 and extends from the concave portion 16b along the fourth direction D4. The flow path portion 29b in the second embodiment corresponds to the groove portion 29 in the lidded container 10 of the first embodiment. A half-cut line 42 is formed on the sheet flat portion 71 around the flow path portion 29b by a cutting tool 94 (see FIGS. 28 and 29) as described later. In addition, "half cut" means to cut only a part in the thickness direction from one surface side of the object. The half-cut line 42 in the second embodiment corresponds to the fragile portion 40 in the container with a lid 10 in the first embodiment. In FIG. 23, the planned half-cut line 42a on which the half-cut line 42 is formed is shown by a virtual line (dashed-dotted line). It should be noted that such a flow path portion 29b does not necessarily have to be provided.
[0118]
 Further, around the accommodating portion 16 and the flow path portion 29b, the individual cut scheduled line 13 constituting the outer edge of the container with a lid 10 (see FIGS. 25 and 26) is shown by a virtual line (dashed line).
[0119]
 The bent portion 75 elastically deforms in the third direction D3, thereby enabling each accommodating portion 16 to move in the third direction D3, and enabling the position adjustment of each accommodating portion 16. The bent portion 75 has an elongated shape extending along the fourth direction D4 in a plan view. In this case, the bent portion 75 is provided between the pair of cut lines 76 over the entire fourth direction D4. Further, the bent portion 75 does not reach each first direction side 71a of the sheet flat portion 71, and is terminated inside each first direction side 71a.
[0120]
 As shown in FIG. 24, each of the bent portions 75 protrudes from the sheet flat portion 71 toward the minus side in the fifth direction D5. Further, the bent portion 75 has a substantially V-shape in cross-sectional view. By changing the V-shaped angle, the inner portion 73 of the bent portion 75 located on the side of the third direction D3 can move along the third direction D3. The bent portion 75 projects from the flat sheet portion 71 in the same direction as the accommodating portion 16 (minus side of the fifth direction D5), but is not limited to this, and is not limited to this, and is in the direction opposite to the accommodating portion 16 (fifth direction D5). It may protrude to the plus side of).

 In this case, four bent portions 75 are provided. That is, one bending portion 75 is provided between the accommodating portions 16 and one between the outermost accommodating portions 16 and each second direction side 71b in the third direction D3. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and at least two bent portions 75 may be provided.
[0122]
 A pair of cut lines 76 are provided on the flat sheet portion 71. The pair of cut lines 76 are formed on both sides of the fourth direction D4 with respect to the accommodating portion 16. That is, the cut line 76 extends inside each first direction side 71a along each first direction side 71a. Further, the cut line 76 extends parallel and linearly with respect to the third direction D3. The cut line 76 is formed so as to penetrate the flat sheet portion 71 in the thickness direction.
[0123]
 Each cut line 76 is cut to the bent portion 75. That is, each cut line 76 cuts into all of the plurality (four) bent portions 75. The cut line 76 separates the sheet flat portion 71 into an outer portion 72 and an inner portion 73, so that the inner portion 73 can move relative to the outer portion 72.
[0124]
 Such a sheet molding container 70 is made of a thermoplastic resin such as a single-layer sheet such as polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), polyethylene terephthalate (PET), or polyethylene naphthalate (PEN), or a barrier layer such as EVOH or nylon. It can be produced by molding (sheet molding) a multilayer sheet containing the mixture.

 In the sheet forming container 70, for example, the above-mentioned single-layer sheet or multi-layer sheet is sheet-molded to form a sheet flat portion 71, an accommodating portion 16, a flow path portion 29b and a bent portion 75, and a cut line 76 is further formed by a cutting tool. It is produced by
[0127]
 (Container with Lid)
 Next, a sealed container 10 as a final product produced by using the sheet-molded container 70 according to the second embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 25 and 26. In the following description, the sealed container 10 will also be referred to as a container with a lid 10 as in the case of the first embodiment described above.
[0128]
 As shown in FIGS. 25 and 26, the container with a lid 10 is manufactured by using the sheet molding container 70 described above. The container 10 with a lid includes a flange portion 27, an accommodating portion 16 protruding from the flange portion 27, a flow path portion 29b, a content liquid L contained in the accommodating portion 16, and a lid material attached to the flange portion 27. It is equipped with 51. In the lidded container 10 shown in FIGS. 25 and 26, the lid material 51 corresponds to the lid 50 in the lidded container 10 of the first embodiment.
[0129]
 Of these, the flange portion 27 is composed of a part of the sheet flat portion 71 of the sheet molding container 70 described above, and is formed by cutting the sheet flat portion 71 into a predetermined shape (see the two-dot chain line in FIG. 23). Further, the accommodating portion 16 and the flow path portion 29b have the same configuration as the accommodating portion 16 and the flow path portion 29b of the sheet molding container 70, respectively. A half-cut line 42 is formed on the flange portion 27 around the flow path portion 29b from the back surface side (opposite side of the lid member 51).
[0130]
 Further, the lid member 51 is sealed on the flange portion 27 over the entire circumference. Such a lid material 51 is composed of a laminate including at least a base material layer and a sealant layer. In this case, for example, the laminate may include a base material layer, an intermediate layer, and a sealant layer which are sequentially arranged from the outside.
[0131]
 Specifically, as the laminate, for example, a laminate having the following layer structure can be used.
 (1) Stretched polyethylene terephthalate layer (PET) 12 μm / Stretched nylon layer (ONY) 15 μm / Unstretched polypropylene layer (CPP) 50 μm
 (2) Stretched polyethylene terephthalate layer (PET) 12 μm / Stretched nylon layer (ONY) 15 μm / Polypropylene ( Mixed resin layer of PP) and polyethylene (PE) 50 μm
 (3) Stretched polyethylene terephthalate layer (PET) 12 μm / Aluminum (ALM) 7 μm / Unstretched polyethylene layer (PE) 50 μm
[0132]
 Each of the above layers is formed by a dry lamination method, an extrusion lamination method, an extrusion coating method or another coating method according to a conventional method.
[0133]
 Further, the thickness of the lid material 51 can be, for example, 30 μm or more and 100 μm or less.
[0134]
 (Method for manufacturing sheet-molded container and container with lid)
 Next, the method for manufacturing the sheet-molded container 70 and the container with lid 10 will be described with reference to FIGS. 27 to 31.
[0135]
 First, a sheet 70a made of a single-layer sheet or a multi-layer sheet constituting the sheet molding container 70 is prepared (see FIG. 27 (a)).
[0136]
 Next, the plate-shaped sheet 70a is heated, and the heated sheet 70a is placed on the female mold 81. Next, the sheet 70a is pushed into the female mold 81 to a certain extent using the plug 82, and then the inside of the female mold 81 is evacuated to shape the sheet 70a into the shape of the female mold 81 (FIG. 27 (b). )reference).
[0137]
 By forming a sheet using the sheet 70a in this way, a sheet forming intermediate 70b having a predetermined shape can be obtained (see FIG. 27 (c)). In this case, the sheet forming intermediate 70b includes a sheet flat portion 71, and an accommodating portion 16 and a bent portion 75 protruding from the sheet flat portion 71, respectively. Then, the sheet forming intermediate 70b is cooled.
[0138]
 Next, in the sheet flat portion 71, cut lines 76 are formed by the cutting tools 83 at positions on both sides of the fourth direction D4 with respect to the accommodating portion 16 (see FIG. 27 (d)). In this case, a part of the sheet flat portion 71 is separated from each other into an inner portion 73 and an outer portion 72 via a cut line 76. The cut line 76 is also cut into the bent portion 75. In this way, the sheet molding container 70 shown in FIGS. 23 and 24 is obtained.
[0139]
 In this way, the sheet molding container 70 is manufactured through a heating step, a molding step, and a cooling step. Therefore, during the production of the sheet forming container 70, the sheet forming intermediate 70b (sheet forming container 70) contracts, and the degree of the contraction varies, which may cause a deviation in the pitch of the accommodating portion 16.
[0140]
 Subsequently, the half-cut line 42 (see FIG. 25) is formed in the sheet forming container 70 by using the half-cut device 90 shown in FIG. 28.
[0141]
 The half-cut device 90 has a bottom surface portion 91, a top surface portion 92, and four columns 93 connecting the bottom surface portion 91 and the top surface portion 92. A plurality of blades 94 for forming the half-cut wires 42 are attached to the lower surface of the top surface portion 92. Further, a stage 95 that can move in the vertical direction along the support column 93 is provided between the bottom surface portion 91 and the top surface portion 92. A receiving jig 96 having a shape corresponding to the shape of the sheet forming container 70 is fixed on the upper surface of the stage 95.
[0142]
 When forming the half-cut line 42, first, the sheet forming container 70 is attached to the receiving jig 96 of the half-cut device 90 (see FIG. 29 (a)). At this time, each accommodating portion 16 of the sheet forming container 70 is fitted into the corresponding convex portion 97 of the receiving jig 96. Therefore, if the sheet forming container 70 contracts and the pitch of the accommodating portions 16 is deviated, it may be difficult to receive each accommodating portion 16 and fit it into the convex portion 97 of the jig 96.
[0143]
 In the second embodiment, as described above, the sheet molding container 70 has a bent portion 75 extending along the fourth direction D4. Further, the cut line 76 extends along the third direction D3 and cuts to the bent portion 75, respectively. Therefore, the bent portion 75 is elastically deformed in the third direction D3, so that the inner portion 73 moves relative to the outer portion 72. Along with this, each accommodating portion 16 can move along the third direction D3.
[0144]
 That is, as shown in FIG. 30, each accommodating portion 16 can move along the third direction D3 together with the inner portion 73. Therefore, each accommodating portion 16 moves from the state immediately after molding (virtual line) to the third direction D3, and moves to a position (solid line) that can be fitted to the convex portion 97 of the receiving jig 96. As a result, even if the sheet forming container 70 contracts and the pitch of the accommodating portions 16 is deviated, the positions of the accommodating portions 16 are appropriately adjusted, and the convex portions 97 of the jig 96 that receive the accommodating portions 16 Can be securely fitted to. On the other hand, the outer portion 72 does not elastically deform and substantially maintains the state immediately after molding.
[0145]
 After that, the stage 95 rises, and the receiving jig 96 and the sheet forming container 70 also rise accordingly (see FIG. 29 (b)). At this time, the sheet forming container 70 comes into contact with the cutting tool 94, and the half-cut line 42 is accurately formed at a predetermined position of the sheet flat portion 71.
[0146]
 Next, each accommodating portion 16 of the sheet forming container 70 is filled with the content liquid L (see FIG. 31 (a)).
[0147]
 Next, a lid material 51 wound in a roll shape is prepared, and the lid material 51 is unwound from the roll. After that, the lid member 51 is sealed to the sheet flat portion 71 (flange portion 27) around each accommodating portion 16 of the sheet forming container 70 (see FIG. 31 (b)).
[0148]
 After that, the sheet flat portion 71 is cut along the individual cut scheduled line 13 (see FIG. 23), and the unnecessary portion of the sheet flat portion 71 is removed to obtain the container with lid 10 shown in FIGS. (See FIG. 31 (c)). At this time, each bent portion 75 is also separated from the container with a lid 10.
[0149]
 In this way, also in the step of sealing the lid material 51 (see FIG. 31 (b)) and the step of cutting the sheet flat portion 71 along the individual cut scheduled line 13 (see FIG. 31 (c)), the bent portion is also formed. The 75 is elastically deformed in the third direction D3, and each accommodating portion 16 moves along the third direction D3. Therefore, even if the pitch of the accommodating portion 16 is deviated due to shrinkage, the position of the accommodating portion 16 is adjusted in the step of sealing the lid material 51 and the step of cutting the sheet flat portion 71. It is possible to accurately position the accommodating portion 16.
[0150]
 As described above, according to the second embodiment, the sheet flat portion 71 is provided with a bent portion 75 extending along the fourth direction D4. The sheet flat portion 71 is formed with cut lines 76 on both sides of the fourth direction D4 with respect to the accommodating portion 16, and the cut lines 76 are cut to the bent portions 75, respectively. Therefore, in the post-processing step of the sheet forming container 70 having the multiple accommodating portions 16, the position of the accommodating portion 16 can be moved along the third direction D3. As a result, even if the pitch of the accommodating portion 16 is displaced due to shrinkage, the deviation of the pitch of the accommodating portion 16 can be corrected in the post-processing step, and stable post-processing can be performed. .. As a result, it is possible to prevent the seal position from being displaced in the post-processing process and the position of the cutting tool 94 for inserting the half-cut from being deviated from the predetermined position.
[0151]
 Further, according to the second embodiment, at least one bent portion 75 is arranged between the two accommodating portions 16 in the third direction D3. Thereby, in the post-processing step, the pitch between the accommodating portion 16 and the accommodating portion 16 can be corrected, the accommodating portion 16 can be accurately positioned, and more stable post-processing can be performed.
[0152]
 Further, according to the second embodiment, the bent portion 75 has a substantially V-shape in cross-sectional view. As a result, the V-shaped angle of the bent portion 75 can be changed, and the inner portions 73 located on both sides of the bent portion 75 in the third direction D3 can be moved along the third direction D3.
[0153]
