Definitions
- Liquid personal care products such as shampoo and liquid body washes (i.e. shower gels), have historically been packaged in upright bottles having flip-top closures. More recently, liquid body washes are being contained in inverted bottles (i.e., "tottle packages”). A tottle package rests on its dispensing cap, thereby allowing gravity to pull the liquid composition towards the opening to facilitate easier dispensing when the package is opened for dispensing.
- the present disclosure provides a system for dispensing a liquid.
- the system includes a pouch for placement into a dock.
- the pouch is loadable into the dock..
- the pouch is also removable from the dock.
- the pouch includes a front flexible film and a rear flexible film.
- the front flexible film and the rear flexible film are sealed around a common peripheral edge to form a flexible body.
- the flexible body has a closed top and an open bottom.
- a flexible base is attached to the open bottom of the body.
- the base and body define a chamber for holding a liquid.
- a hole is present at a lower portion the front film of the body.
- a closure is attached to the hole.
- the closure includes a collar, a housing, and a spout for dispensing liquid from the pouch.
- the present pouch includes a front film and a rear film (hereafter, collectively the "film”).
- Each of the front film and the rear film is a flexible film.
- the front film and the rear film are sealed around a common peripheral edge to form the flexible body.
- the flexible body has a closed top and an open bottom.
- Each film is made from a polymeric material.
- suitable polymeric materials include olefin-based polymer, propylene-based polymer (including plastomer and elastomer, random copolymer polypropylene, homopolymer polypropylene, and propylene impact copolymer) and ethylene-based polymer (including plastomer and elastomer, high density polyethylene ("HDPE”), low density polyethylene (“LDPE”), linear low density polyethylene (“LLDPE”), medium density polyethylene (“MDPE”)), olefin block copolymer, polyethylene terephthalate (“PET”), oriented polyethylene terephthalate (“OPET”), nylon, biaxially oriented polypropylene (BOPP), ethylene vinyl alcohol (EVOH), functionalized ethylene-based polymers such as ethylene-vinyl acetate (“EVA”), maleic anhydride-grafted polyethylene, and ethylene acrylate copolymers, fluorinated ethylene propylene, blends

- the composition of each web may be the same or different.
- the pouch is made from two webs, each web composed of a flexible multilayer film having the same structure and the same composition.
- the flexible multilayer film has an innermost layer that is a seal layer, an outer print layer, and optional intermediate layers sandwiched between the seal layer and the print layer.
- printing is applied to the webs during construction of the pouch, thereby forming a flexible multilayer film having a print layer.
- the printing includes advertisement, branding, instructions for use, instructions for recycle, and any combination thereof.
- the print web is subsequently laminated to a sealant web by applying an adhesive layer to the print web and/or the sealant web.
- the seal layer is a polymeric material selected from LLDPE, single-site LLDPE (substantially linear olefin polymers, including polymers sold under the tradename AFFINITY (The Dow Chemical Company) for example), or propylene-based plastomers or elastomers and their blends, ethylene-vinyl acetate, blends with polyisobutylene (PIB), and blends with ionomers (AMPLIFY), and combinations thereof.

- propylene-based plastomers or elastomers and their blends ethylene-vinyl acetate, blends with polyisobutylene (PIB), and blends with ionomers (AMPLIFY), and combinations thereof.
- the seal layer is an ethylene-based polymer such as LLDPE and the print layer is a PET.
- LLDPE ethylene-based polymer
- the PET allows for printing to be easily placed directly on the flexible multilayer film because it does not stretch during the printing process.
- the LLDPE seal layer allows for the formation of heat seals during formation of the pouch.
- the body has a surface roughness, R a , from 0.2 to 0.8.
- the front film and the rear film each is a flexible multilayer film having an innermost seal layer, an outermost print layer and one or more optional intermediate layers sandwiched between the innermost layer and the outermost layer.

- Each film has a thickness from 90 microns to 110 microns.
- Each flexible multilayer film has a secant flexural modulus from 483 MPa, or 503 MPa to 689 MPa, or 696 MPa (70,000 psi, or 73,000 psi to 100,000 psi or 101,000 psi) as measured in accordance with ASTM D 882.
- the sealed flexible multilayer films produce a body (at the seal area) that has a thickness from 180 microns to 220 microns, or 200 microns.
- the present pouch includes a flexible base attached to the open bottom of the body.
- the base is attached to the open bottom of the body to form a gusset.
- the gusset may be formed by way of heat seal, weld (ultrasonic or Rf), adhesive bond, and combinations thereof.
- the body and the base define a closed and hermetically sealed chamber for holding the liquid.
- the hermetically sealed chamber holds the liquid.
- suitable liquids include liquid personal care products such as shampoo, conditioner, liquid soap, lotion, gel, cream, balm, and sunscreen.
- suitable liquids include household care/cleaning products and automotive care products.
- Other liquids include liquid food such as condiments (ketchup, mustard, mayonnaise) and baby food.
- the base is made of a flexible polymeric material.
- the base has the same structure and composition as the front film and the rear film.
- the gusset provides the base with (1) the structural integrity to support the body and the liquid in the chamber without leakage, and (2) the stability to stand upright (i.e., base on a support surface, such as a horizontal surface, or a substantially horizontal surface), without tipping over. In this sense, the pouch is a "stand-up" pouch.
- the gusset structure and the resiliency of the base enable the base to be flexed, shaped, or otherwise bent, to vary the depth of the pouch. From a maximum pouch depth, the base can be flexed to reduce the depth from 1%, or 2%, or 3%, or 5%, or 7% to 8%, or 10%, or 12%, or 15%.
- a hole is located at a lower portion of the front film.
- the hole is located from 1 millimeters (mm), or 2 mm, or 3, mm, or 4 mm, or 5 mm to 6 mm, or 7 mm, or 8 mm, or 9 mm, or 10 mm, or 15 mm, or 20 mm above the base to ensure complete dispensing of the liquid from the chamber.
- the collar has a duct.
- the collar is attached to an outer surface of the front film so as to align the collar duct with the hole, thereby providing fluid communication between the hole and the duct.
- suitable attachment between the collar and the exterior surface of the front film include heat seal, weld (ultrasonic, Rf), adhesive bond, and combinations thereof.
- the housing is attached to the collar.
- the housing and the collar are two distinct components.
- suitable attachment between the collar and housing include friction fit, heat seal, weld (ultrasonic, Rf), adhesive bond, and combinations thereof.
- the collar and the housing may be integral, the housing and the collar each subcomponents of a single component.
- the housing includes a port.
- the port of the housing is in fluid communication with the duct of the collar.
- the housing includes a recess and an upper rim.
- a first well is located on one side of the recess and a second well is located on a second side of the recess opposite the first well.
- the first well and the second well are proximate to the port.
- the spout includes a channel through which the liquid is dispensed.
- the channel extends through the length of the spout.
- the spout is pivotally attached to the housing.
- a pair of opposing pins is located at a proximate end of the spout.
- a first pin is located on a first side of the spout and a second pin is located on a second side of the spout, the second side opposite to the first side.
- the pins are perpendicular to the channel.
- the first pin frictionally engages the first well and the second pin frictionally engages the second well.
- the pins engaged and aligned with the wells define an axis of rotation for the spout.
- the recess receives the spout when the closure is in the closed position.
- the upper rim of the housing surrounds the spout (except the distal flange).
- the spout rests in the recess such that a proximate end of the channel does not fluidly communicate with the port.
- the underside of the spout blocks liquid in the chamber from flowing through the port and into the channel.
- the rim of the housing and the outer surface of the spout are coplanar, or substantially coplanar.
- a distal end of the spout is the dispensing end.
- the proximate end of the spout pivots about the axis of rotation.
- the pivoting motion moves the spout to an open position where the proximate end of the channel is placed into fluid communication with the port. In the open position, liquid from the chamber flows through the hole, through the duct, through the port, through the channel, and out of the spout.
- the distal end of the spout includes a flange.
- a user placing her fingertip under the flange can readily pivot the spout from the closed position to the open position, and vice versa.
- the closure permits bottom dispensing of the liquid from the pouch.
- the pouch can be operated or otherwise used with a single hand.
- a user holds the base of the pouch in her palm, freeing her thumb.
- the user places her thumb under the flange of the spout and flicks her thumb away from the pouch to open the spout while supporting the base with her palm and the body with her fingers.
- the user can close the open spout by placing the pad of her thumb on the spout and moving the thumb toward the pouch, while supporting the base with her palm and supporting the body with her fingers.
- the closure of the present pouch does not include a silicone valve (no silicone slit valve, for example). Consequently, the present pouch is silicone-free.
- the present pouch is made from 90 wt % to 100 wt % ethylene-based polymer-the body being composed of flexible multiple layer film with layer materials selected from ethylene-based polymer such as LLDPE, LDPE, HDPE, and combinations thereof, and the base, nozzle and closure are composed of rigid HDPE. Weight percent is based on total weight of the pouch without liquid.
- the pouch made from 90 wt % to 100 wt % ethylene-based polymer is advantageous as it is readily recyclable.

- the gap enables the panels to move relative to each other. In other words, the gap enables the front panel and the rear panel to move toward and away from each other.
- the polymeric material from which the panels are made is flexible enough for panels to be moved outward (or away from each other) for installation of the pouch into the dock.
- the polymeric material is also resilient enough for the panels to move back to their original positions once the pouch is placed in the dock (or when the pouch is removed from the dock), or after the panels are squeezed inward to push liquid through the open spout.
- the front panel and the rear panel have a contour shape.
- the rear panel has a shape that is a mirror image of the front panel shape.
- An orifice is located on a front surface of the waist.
- the orifice receives the closure of the pouch when the pouch is placed in the dock.
- suitable shapes for the orifice include square, rectangle, triangle, circle, oval, and ellipse.
- the closure extends radially outward from the dock when the pouch is installed in the dock.
- the shape of the orifice matches the shape of the closure.
- the closure has an oval shape and the orifice has an oval shape.
- the waist has a width that is wider than the width of each individual front/rear panel.
- the dock includes two tapered portions, located at opposing sides of the waist. Each tapered portion is located at a lower end of the gap and between the front panel and the rear panel. At the tapered portion, an upper edge of the waist gradually tapers inward and merges into an outer edge of each panel. In a preferred embodiment, the upper edge is a U-shaped edge. The U-shaped edge provides the dock with a contoured, smooth and uniform appearance. The waist has the appearance of flowing into the front panel and the rear panel at the tapered portions.
- the body of the pouch includes flutes located at opposing sides of the common peripheral edge.
- each flute contacts a respective U-shaped edge of the waist. In this way, the U-shaped edge supports the pouch at the contact point with the flute.
- Pressure on one panel dispenses liquid from the pouch when the closure is in the open position.
- Pressure can be applied as a squeezing motion using two opposing fingers, for example.
- the system (pouch and the dock no liquid) is made from 90 wt % to 100 wt % ethylene-based polymer-such as LLDPE, LDPE, MDPE, and HDPE.
- the system is preferably made from 90 wt % to 100 wt % ethylene-based polymer and is advantageous as it is readily recyclable.
- ranges containing values which are less than one or containing fractional numbers greater than one e.g., 1.1, 1.5, etc.
- one unit is considered to be 0.0001, 0.001, 0.01 or 0.1, as appropriate.
- ranges containing single digit numbers less than ten e.g., 1 to 5
- one unit is typically considered to be 0.1.
- ranges containing explicit values e.g., 1 or 2, or 3 to 5, or 6, or 7
- any subrange between any two explicit values is included (e.g., 1 to 2; 2 to 6; 5 to 7; 3 to 7; 5 to 6; etc.).
- Figure 2 shows a base 20 attached to the open bottom of the body 18.
- the base 20 is heat sealed to the front film 12 and the rear film 14.
- the body 18 and the base 20 form a closed chamber that is hermetically sealed.
- the closed chamber holds the liquid in a watertight and/or an airtight manner.
- the base 20 is composed of the same flexible multilayer film as the front film 12 and the rear film 14.
- the base 20 includes a gusset rim 22 that defines a footprint for the pouch.
- the gusset rim 22 forms an ellipsoid footprint as shown in Figure 2 .
- flutes 17a, 17b are present on opposing sides of the common peripheral edge 16.
- the flutes 17a and 17b are aligned with the top portion of the closure 26.
- the flutes 17a, 17b are for use with the system as further described below.
- the collar 28 is welded to the hole 24 as shown in Figure 3 .
- the collar 28 includes a duct 29 that extends radially outward from the body 18 as shown in Figure 4A .
- the duct 29 is in fluid communication with the hole 24.
- the housing 30 includes a port 31 that matingly receives the duct 29 as shown in Figures 4B and 4C .
- the duct 29 and the port 31 attach in a male-female engagement.
- the engagement between the duct 29 and the port 31 can be friction fit, adhesive seal, heat seal, weld, or combinations thereof.
- the port 31 is in fluid communication with the duct 29.
- the spout 32 includes a channel 33 through which the liquid (in the chamber) is dispensed. Interior structures are shown with phantom lines in Figure 4C .
- the housing 30 includes a recess 34 and a rim 38.
- a first well 40 aligns with a second well 42 on opposing sides of the recess 34.
- a pair of pins 44a, 44b is located on a proximate end of the spout 32.
- the pins 44 are perpendicular to the channel 33.
- the pin 44a frictionally engages with the first well 40 and the pin 44b frictionally engages with the second well 42 to define an axis of rotation for the spout 32.
- Figure 6 shows the closure 26 in the open position.
- a distal end of the spout 32 includes a flange 46.
- a user places a fingertip (or a fingernail) under the flange 46, and pulls the flange 46 radially outward and away from the housing 30.
- the proximate end of the spout 32 pivots about the axis of rotation and moves the proximate end of the channel 33 into fluid communication with the port 31.
- the proximate end of the channel 33 is in fluid communication with the port 31.
- the user squeezes the body 18 to push liquid from the chamber through the hole 24, through the duct 29, through the port 31, through the channel 33 and out of the spout 32.
- the user pushes the distal end of the spout 32 radially inward and toward the housing 30, placing the spout 32 into the recess 34.
- FIGS 7-13 show a system 50 for dispensing a liquid.
- the system 50 includes the pouch 10 as disclosed above.
- the system 50 also includes a dock 52.
- the dock 52 has a floor 54 with a peripheral edge 56.
- the dock 52 also has a waist 58 surrounding the peripheral edge 56.
- the waist 58 extends upward from the floor 54.
- the waist 58 and the floor 54 define a seat 60 for receiving the base of the pouch 10.
- a front panel 62 and a rear panel 64 extend upward from opposing sides of the waist 58.
- the front panel 62 and the rear panel 64 have a contoured shape.
- the shape of the rear panel 64 is a mirror image of the shape of the front panel 62.
- a gap 66 ( Figures 8C , 8D ) separates the front panel 62 from the rear panel 64.
- An orifice 68 is located on a front surface of the waist 58.
- the orifice 68 is configured to receive the closure 26 of the pouch 10.
- the orifice 68 has an elliptical shape that matches the elliptical shape of the closure 26, as shown in Figures 7-9 .
- the dock 52 includes tapered portions 70a and 70b at the lower end of the gap 66.
- the tapered portions 70a and 70b are located between the front panel 62 and the rear panel 64.
- the waist 58 is wider than the width of the lower portion for each front panel and rear panel 62, 64.
- the dock 52 is a reusable support for the pouch 10.
