Abstract

An inliner bag having a plastic bag produced by injection blow molding and having a delivery nozzle, and in the shape of a bottle, preferably of a low-density polyethylene (LDPE). The bottle has in the shoulder region of the delivery nozzle or in the lower region thereof, an external radially projecting rim which is intended to act as a disc valve against the inside of the outer container. The one-way valve has a plug fitting into the delivery nozzle and has a delivery channel with a conically widening mouth. A cannula having a tension spring and a cone valve which are integral with it fits into the delivery channel. The cone valve cooperates with the widening mouth. The inliner bottle is squeezed prior to filling and is pushed through the bottle nozzle into the outer bottle and is then filled and the plug with the already inserted one-way valve is then inserted.

5. The container according to claim 4, wherein the inliner bottle (9) has in a shoulder region (12) of the delivery nozzle (13) the external radially projecting rim (14) acting as a disc valve against an inside of an oblique shoulder (6) of the bottle (1).

6. The container according to claim 5, wherein the plug (15) with the delivery channel (19) has on the outside a bead (16) intimately fitting and connecting with an inside of the delivery nozzle (13) having a corresponding groove.

7. The container according to claim 6, wherein the plug (15) has at a top a cover (17) having a central hole from which extends in an upward direction a delivery tube (18) which forms the delivery channel (19) with the mouth (20) widening at an end.

8. The container according to claim 7, wherein in the cover (17) of the plug (15) a radial channel (28) extends inwards from an outer edge and has an end that communicates via an annular groove by one of in the cover and formed by a chamfer of the outer edge of the delivery nozzle (13) of the inliner bottle (9), with a groove (27) which extends downwards on the outside of the plug (15) and opens into a space between the outer bottle (1) and the inliner bottle (9).

9. The container according to claim 8, wherein a groove (32) running in a longitudinal direction of a shaft (31) of the cone valve opens at a bottom into the space of the tension spring (22) and at a top opens into a cone of the cone valve (23), and the cannula (21) inserted into the delivery tube (18) of the plug has on the outside an all-round groove (30) which on insertion into the delivery tube (18) snaps onto a corresponding bead on an inside in which state of the cannula (21) the tension spring (22) connected to the cone valve (23) is under initial tension.

10. The container according to claim 1, wherein the inliner bottle (9) has in a lower region of the delivery nozzle (13) an external radially projecting rim (14) acting as a disc valve against an inside of an oblique shoulder (6) of the bottle (1).

11. The container according to claim 1, wherein the inliner bottle (9) has in a shoulder region (12) of the delivery nozzle (13) an external radially projecting rim (14) acting as a disc valve against an inside of an oblique shoulder (6) of the bottle (1).

12. The container according to claim 1, wherein the plug (15) with the delivery channel (19) has on the outside a bead (16) intimately fitting and connecting with an inside of the delivery nozzle (13) having a corresponding groove.

13. The container according to claim 1, wherein the plug (15) has at a top a cover (17) having a central hole from which extends in an upward direction a delivery tube (18) which forms the delivery channel (19) with the mouth (20) widening at an end.

14. The container according to claim 1, wherein in a cover (17) of the plug (15) a radial channel (28) extends inwards from an outer edge and has an end that communicates via an annular groove by one of in the cover and formed by a chamfer of the outer edge of the delivery nozzle (13) of the inliner bottle (9), with a groove (27) which extends downwards on the outside of the plug (15) and opens into a space between the outer bottle (1) and the inliner bottle (9).

15. The container according to claim 1, wherein a groove (32) running in a longitudinal direction of a shaft (31) of the cone valve opens at a bottom into the space of the tension spring (22) and at a top opens into a cone of the cone valve (23), and the cannula (21) inserted into the delivery tube (18) of the plug has on the outside an all-round groove (30) which on insertion into the delivery tube (18) snaps onto a corresponding bead on an inside in which state of the cannula (21) the tension spring (22) connected to the cone valve (23) is under initial tension.

16. The container according to claim 3, wherein the inliner bottle (9) has in a shoulder region (12) of the delivery nozzle (13) the external radially projecting rim (14) acting as a disc valve against an inside of an oblique shoulder (6) of the bottle (1).
