Description of the Related Art For example, an 18-liter container used to carry various liquids such as commercial detergents, liquid fertilizers, and chemical liquids is a foldable thin wall instead of a conventional tin can or a thick resin container. Flexible containers made of resin have been used in recent years. Since this flexible container is foldable, it is convenient for transportation and storage in an empty state before filling the liquid, and it is not bulky by being folded even after the liquid filled in the container is used, and it is not recovered or re-used. It is extremely useful because it is easy to use.

容器位置決めトレーを提供することを目的とする。However, since the flexible container as described above does not have a sufficient shape-retaining property, the mouth of the container is filled with a liquid at a filling position immediately below the filling means. It is difficult to position them accurately, and thus the filling operation becomes very difficult. Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a container positioning tray that can accurately position the mouth of a flexible container at the filling position.
