Abstract

The present invention provides a synthetic resin package (2) improved at least partially in the ease of use as compared with conventional packages, and containing at least one pouch (14) which accommodates a dental liquid (21) and which, when pressed, is unsealed at one end edge and allows the dental liquid to be flowed out through the unsealed one end edge.

In the package (2), both side edges (4a, 4b) and a bottom edge (6) are closed throughout; an applicator insertion section (10) and a pouch housing section (12) situated adjacently in a lateral direction are defined; in a top edge (8), a site (8b) corresponding to the pouch housing section (12) is closed at least partially, while a site (8a) corresponding to the applicator insertion section (10) is open; and the pouch (14) is positioned within the pouch housing section (12), with the one end edge to be unsealed facing downward.

Claims

1. A synthetic resin package containing at least one pouch which accommodates a dental liquid and which, when pressed, is unsealed at one end edge and allows the dental liquid to be flowed out through the unsealed one end edge, wherein

both side edges and a bottom edge of the package are closed throughout, an applicator insertion section and a pouch housing section situated adjacently in a lateral direction are defined in the package and, in a top edge of the package, a site corresponding to the pouch housing section is closed at least partially, while a site corresponding to the applicator insertion section is open,

the pouch is positioned within the pouch housing section, with the one end edge facing downward, and when the pouch is pressed via the package, the one end edge of the pouch is unsealed, whereby the dental liquid is flowed out from inside the pouch through the one end edge to a lower part of the pouch housing section, and then flowed to a lower part of the applicator insertion section, and

when an applicator is inserted into the applicator insertion section through the top edge which has been opened, the dental liquid can be stuck to a leading end part of the applicator.

2. The synthetic resin package according to claim 1, wherein

the pouch is introduced into the pouch housing section, with at least a part of another end edge portion of the pouch being interposed between predetermined sites of top edge portions of the package,

the top edge portions are partly joined together, whereby the site of the top edge corresponding to the pouch housing section is closed, and the other end edge portion of the pouch is confined between the top edge portions of the package, while the one end edge of the pouch is located upwardly away from a bottom edge of the pouch housing section.

3. The synthetic resin package according to claim 1, wherein

opposing wall surfaces of the package are joined together along a boundary between the pouch housing section and the applicator insertion section, but except for a lower end part of the package, whereby the pouch is restricted to a required position within the pouch housing section, and the one end edge of the pouch is located upwardly away from a bottom edge of the pouch housing section.

4. The synthetic resin package according to claim 1,

which is formed by shaping a belt-shaped synthetic resin film or sheet into a tubular form, joining both end edge portions of the tubular form over entire lengths thereof, joining bottom edge portions of the tubular form over entire lengths thereof, and joining top edge portions of the tubular form partially,

wherein before the top edge portions are partially joined, the pouch is introduced into the pouch housing section.

5. The synthetic resin package according to claim 1, wherein

at least one of the lower part of the pouch housing section and the lower part of the applicator insertion section is transparent or translucent.

6. The synthetic resin package according to claim 1, wherein

in a top edge portion of the applicator insertion section, a notch extending downward from the top edge is formed in one wall surface of the applicator insertion section.

7. The synthetic resin package according to claim 1, wherein

in a top edge portion of the applicator insertion section, another wall surface of the applicator insertion section is colored in a color different from a color of one wall surface of the applicator insertion section.

8. The synthetic resin package according to claim 1, wherein

at least a part of a top edge of the applicator insertion section is inclined gradually upwardly in a direction away from the pouch housing section.

9. The synthetic resin package according to claim 1, wherein

the bottom edge is closed by joining bottom edge portions of both wall surfaces of the package mutually, and

a part in a mutually joined region of the bottom edge portions, which corresponds to the pouch housing section, is inclined gradually upwardly in a direction away from the applicator insertion section.

10. The synthetic resin package according to claim 1, wherein

the bottom edge is closed by joining bottom edge portions of both wall surfaces of the package mutually, and

a part in a mutually joined region of the bottom edge portions, which corresponds to the applicator insertion section, is inclined gradually upwardly in a direction away from the pouch housing section.

11. The synthetic resin package according to claim 1, wherein

an indication is provided at a predetermined site of pressing on at least one wall surface of the pouch housing section.

12. The synthetic resin package according to claim 1, wherein

at least two of the pouches are located within the pouch housing section, and liquids flowed out of the at least two pouches are mixed.
