Abstract
Abstract The present invention relates to a pouring plug used for paper containers filled with juice, milk and the like. The present invention further relates to a pouring plug having a flange portion corresponding to a peripheral surface portion of a fitting hole of a container body and being mounted from inside of the container body, in which a plurality of projecting portions are provided, at a height position larger than a thickness dimension of a structural member of the container body form the flange portion, and on the peripheral surface portion corresponding to the inner peripheral edge of the fitting hole. When the pouring plug is inserted and arranged in the fitting hole, the projecting portions are completely withdrawn on the surface side of the container body so that the plug is positively temporarily fixed, and ultrasonic deposition can be carried out without any trouble.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
139 words
A pouring plug for a liquid paper-container or the like comprising: a flange portion corresponding to a peripheral surface portion of a fitting hole of a container body and being fitted from inside of the container body; an ultrasonic vibration absorbing portion formed on a periphery of the pouring plug; and a plurality of projecting portions located at a height position greater than a thickness dimension of a structural member of the container body from said flange portion, said plurality of projecting portions being further located on the pouring plug so as to be adjacent the peripheral surface portion corresponding to an inner peripheral edge of the fitting hole, said projecting portions being formed so that a projecting dimension of said projecting portions is less than a dimension of a spacing between said projecting portions and the fitting hole.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
139 words
A pouring plug for a liquid paper-container or the like comprising: a flange portion corresponding to a peripheral surface portion of a fitting hole of a container body and being fitted from inside of the container body; an ultrasonic vibration absorbing portion formed on a periphery of the pouring plug; and a plurality of projecting portions located at a height position greater than a thickness dimension of a structural member of the container body from said flange portion, said plurality of projecting portions being further located on the pouring plug so as to be adjacent the peripheral surface portion corresponding to an inner peripheral edge of the fitting hole, said projecting portions being formed so that a projecting dimension of said projecting portions is less than a dimension of a spacing between said projecting portions and the fitting hole.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
61 words
A pouring plug for a liquid paper-container or the like according to claim 1, further comprising: a lid integrally provided through a tearable thin-wall portion, wherein the thin-wall portion is formed so as to be rupturable by raising said lid which closes a pouring opening to unseal the pouring opening, said ultrasonic vibration absorbing portion being formed adjacent the thin-wall portion.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
20 words

Claim 5
Dependent Claim
141 words
A pouring plug comprising: a flange portion corresponding to a peripheral surface portion of a fitting hole of a container body and being fitted from inside of the container body; an ultrasonic vibration absorbing portion formed on a periphery of the pouring plug; and a plurality of projecting portions located at a height position greater than a thickness dimension of a structural member of the container body from said flange portion within the range of 0.2 mm to 1.0 mm, said plurality of projecting portions being further located on the pouring plug so as to be adjacent the peripheral surface portion corresponding to an inner peripheral edge of the fitting hole, said projecting portions being formed so that a projecting dimension of said projecting portions is less than a dimension of a spacing between said projecting portions and the fitting hole.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
141 words
A pouring plug comprising: a flange portion corresponding to a peripheral surface portion of a fitting hole of a container body and being fitted from inside of the container body; an ultrasonic vibration absorbing portion formed on a periphery of the pouring plug; and a plurality of projecting portions located at a height position greater than a thickness dimension of a structural member of the container body from said flange portion within the range of 0.2 mm to 1.0 mm, said plurality of projecting portions being further located on the pouring plug so as to be adjacent the peripheral surface portion corresponding to an inner peripheral edge of the fitting hole, said projecting portions being formed so that a projecting dimension of said projecting portions is less than a dimension of a spacing between said projecting portions and the fitting hole.
