A self-standing type bag-shaped vacuum container has a self-standing container including a wall formed of a soft sheet, a pouring port, and a check valve mounted in the pouring port. The check valve is opened to allow the migration of a content of the container when subjected to a pressure in the pouring direction, but is closed when subjected to a pressure in a filling direction, so that the inside of the container is evacuated. The self-standing container can be optimized for storing beverages or the like which are negatively effected by contact with air, because the content will be oxidized with the air. The vacuum type container will not lose its self-standing property even if the content is reduced, and can stand stably by itself.

1. A container comprising:a self-standing container body including a wall formed of a soft sheet and a bottom, wherein said bottom is expandable when content is contained within said self-standing container body such that said container stands unaided; a pouring port disposed at an end portion of said self-standing container; and a check valve mounted in said pouring port, said check valve being operable to open when a pressure within said self-standing container in greater than a pressure outside of said self-standing container and close when the pressure outside of said self-standing container is greater than the pressure within the self-standing container, wherein an inside of said container is evacuated by a vacuum that is established by a weight of the content contained within said self-standing container body, and said wall contains a first pair of outward folds and a second pair of outward folds extending from said pouring port towards said bottom, said first and second pairs of outward folds being positioned such that as an amount of the content contained within said self-standing container body is reduced, said first and second pairs of outward folds cause said self-standing container body to form a square shaped content column just below said pouring port so that said self-standing container body does not fold over when said container stands upright. 2. A container as set forth in claim 1, wherein said check valve has a domed head containing a cut, wherein said cut is opened when the pressure from within said self-standing container is greater than the pressure outside of said self-standing container and closed when the pressure outside of said self-standing container is greater than the pressure within said self-standing container.3. A container comprising:a container body including a wall formed of a soft sheet, and a bottom attached to a first end of said wall, said bottom being expandable when content is contained within said container body such that said container stands unaided; a pouring port comprising a cylindrical member attached to a second end of said wall; and a check valve disposed in said pouring port, said check valve being operable to prevent the backflow of air into said container when the content is discharge from said container, wherein an upper portion of said container is evacuated when said container is stood upright after a portion of the content is discharged by downward migration of a remaining portion of the content due to gravity, and said wall contains a first pair of outward folds and a second pair of outward folds extending from said pouring port towards said bottom, said first and second pairs of outward folds being positioned such that as an amount of the content contained within said container body is reduced, said first and second pairs of outward folds cause said container body to form a square shaped content column just below said pouring port so that said container body does not fold over when said container stands upright. 4. A container as set forth in claim 3, wherein said check valve has a domed head containing a cut, wherein said cut is opened when the pressure from within said container is greater than the pressure outside of said container and closed when the pressure outside of said container is greater than the pressure within said container.5. A container comprising:a self-standing container body including a wall formed of a soft sheet and a bottom, wherein said bottom is expandable when content is contained within said self-standing container body such that said container stands unaided; a pouring port disposed at an end portion of said self-standing container; a check valve mounted in said pouring port, said check valve being operable to open when a pressure within said self-standing container in greater than a pressure outside of said self-standing container and close when the pressure outside of said self-standing container is greater than the pressure within the self-standing container; and a flow velocity control mechanism located between said self-standing container body and said pouring port, said flow velocity control mechanism including a flow velocity control unit having a passage communicating between said self-standing container body and said flow velocity control mechanism, said passage eliminating a flow velocity of the content when the content flows into said flow velocity control unit from said self-standing container body, wherein an inside of said container is evacuated by a vacuum that is established by a weight of the content contained within said self-standing container body, and said wall contains folds extending vertically from said pouring port toward said bottom such that as an amount of the content contained within said self-standing container body is reduced, said folds cause said self-standing container body to form a square shaped content column just below said pouring port so that said container is prevented from folding in a thickness direction. 6. A container comprising:a container body including a wall formed of a soft sheet, and a bottom attached to a first end of said wall, said bottom being expandable when content is contained within said container body such that said container stands unaided; a pouring port comprising a cylindrical member attached to a second end of said wall; a check valve disposed in said pouring port, said check valve being operable to prevent the backflow of air into said container when the content is discharged from said container; and a flow velocity control mechanism located between said self-standing container body and said pouring port, said flow velocity control mechanism including a flow velocity control unit having a passage communicating between said self-standing container body and flow velocity control mechanism, said passage eliminating a flow velocity of the content when the content flows into said flow velocity control unit from said self-standing container body; wherein an upper portion of said container is evacuated when said container is stood upright after a portion of the content is discharged by downward migration of a remaining portion of the content due to gravity, and said wall contains folds extending vertically from said pouring port toward said bottom such that as an amount of the content contained within said container body is reduced, said folds cause said container body to form a square shaped content column just below said pouring port so that said container is prevented from folding in a thickness direction.
