If the funnel-like reinforcing portion occupies almost one half of the surface area of the container proper, closure of the pouring outlet by the container body may be prevented even if the non-reinforced portion of the container body is housed in the support member when the contained liquid is discharged. Therefore, a contained liquid can be smoothly taken out, and the container is especially suitable for containing a liquid having a relatively high viscosity or a liquid sensitive to the contact with air and the like.<img id="" file="00000001.TIF" he="82" wi="110" img-content="drawing" img-format="tif" orientation="portrait" inline="no"/></p></abstract><search-report-data id="srep" lang="en" srep-office="EP" date-produced=""><doc-page id="srep0001" file="90000001.TIF" he="230" wi="154" type="tif"/><doc-page id="srep0002" file="90010001.TIF" he="232" wi="161" type="tif"/></search-report-data></ep-patent-document>
