Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a liquid container in the form commonly referred to as drinks pouch and a method for making the container.
  • Drinks such as, for example, water, fruit juice, still and carbonated soft drinks, beer and wine are made available for purchase in a number of different types of container.
  • a particular market segment comprises drinks which are available in volumes typically of between 150ml to 500ml and which provide a suitable volume for one person.
  • Such drinks may be sold in containers such as aluminium cans, bottles, cartons or pouches.
  • cartons and pouches are sold with a straw attached to their outside. In use, the straw is pierced through a membrane which is thinner or made of weaker material than the rest of the carton or pouch, thereby allowing the straw to be inserted into the carton or pouch to allow a person to drink from it.
  • Drinks pouches as distinct from cartons are characterised by having a flexible, soft, pliant, squeezable body which may be made from an aluminium foil and/or a suitable plastic.
  • a drinks pouch may comprise a triplex laminate made from layers of Polyethylene Terrephyhalate (PET), foil and a sealant layer bonded together.
  • PET Polyethylene Terrephyhalate
  • a secondary strip of polyethylene is provided on one side of the pack and heat-sealed around a hole in the triplex laminate to ensure it remains water-tight. When filled and formed these packs then have a straw attached to the back of the pack. The straw is used to puncture the secondary strip to access the contents of the pouch.
  • Pouches with straws are most popular where the drinks have particular appeal for children.
  • One reason for this is that, in comparison with bottles and cans, children find it significantly easier to drink from a straw without spilling the drink.
  • the process of inserting the straw into the drink container may lead to spillages.
  • a person in order to access the drink, a person must remove the straw from the back of the pack, take the protective sleeve from around the straw then pierce the polyethylene strip with the straw. It is very difficult for most people and especially children to accomplish this without squeezing the pouch whilst piercing it thereby causing the contents to spill out from the hole made or through the straw.
  • US 2011/0215107 A1 describes a drinks container with a water outlet vertically cut through the bottom wall of the container from which water may exit the container into a channel which extends to a suction hole at the top of the container. In this case the channel and suction hole are built into the container.
  • US 6,912,825 B2 discloses a liquid pouch formed from sheet material which contains an internal straw restraining passage which retains an axially displaceable straw captive internally in the straw restraining passage. Opening the pouch causes the internal straw to emerge from the pouch due to the buoyancy of the straw.
  • the straw restraining passage 58 is formed, prior to assembly of the pouch by creating a raised portion (56) on each opposed side wall (40) of the sheet material (2), the raised portion having a slightly higher elevation than a substantial portion of a remainder of said sheet material (2).
  • the raised portions are created using an extra layer of sheet material or, for example, by placing a quantity of fast drying adhesive or silicone on the sheet material.
  • the space between the raised portion and the side wall of the pouch forms a straw restraining passage.
  • the embodiments shown in US 6,912,825 B2 show a relatively short straw retaining portion with a straw positioned diagonally across the pouch.
  • the short passage design ensures the correct alignment of the raised portions which is much harder to achieve with longer passages.
  • the addition of material to the pouch for the creation of the restraining passage adds material cost and complexity to the process of creating the pouch and there is a risk of contamination of the pouch contents in particular where silicone or an adhesive is used.
  • WO 00/59802 A1 discloses a drinks pouch according to the preamble of claim 1 and a method according to the preamble of claim 9.
  • a drinks container comprising:
  • the heat seal is linear in shape.
  • the pouch comprises a front wall and a rear wall, the perimeters of which are sealed to form top, bottom and side sealed edges of the pouch,
  • the bottom sealed edges comprises a gusset bottom.
  • the channel is formed between the side edge at which the openable section is formed.
  • the heat seal is a linear heat seal which seals together a linear portion of the front and rear walls and which extends partly down the length of the pouch.
  • the top, bottom and side sealed edges are sealed using a heat seal.
  • the openable section comprises a cap with an airtight seal.
  • the linear heat seal extends from the top sealed edge to more than 50% of the length of the pouch.
  • the linear heat seal extends from below top sealed edge to more than 50% of the length of the pouch.
  • the channel is formed at or near an openable section away from the side edges of the pouch and comprises two linear heat seals which are substantially parallel to one another and which seal together linear portions of the front and rear walls and which extends partly down the length of the pouch.
  • the pliant packaging material is a foil laminate having two or preferably three layers.
  • the pliant packaging material comprises one or more of the following materials, which may be laminated together.
  • Polyethyleneterephthalate (PET) and printed on the reverse but other materials could be used including orientated polypropylene (OPP), cast polypropylene (CPP), orientated polyamide (OPA), polyethylene (PE), paper or aluminium foil.
  • OPP orientated polypropylene
  • CPP cast polypropylene
  • OPA orientated polyamide
  • PE polyethylene
  • paper or aluminium foil aluminium foil
  • the heat seal extends from the top seal a predetermined distance down the length of the pouch at a suitable distance laterally displaced from channel edge seal.
  • the length of the channel is selected to accommodate most or all of the length of the straw which assists with guiding the straw to the opening in the pouch.
  • the channel length is selected to ensure that the straw is guided up and through the opening.
  • the channel acts to funnel liquid towards the straw.
  • openable section may be created by means of mechanical, heat, electrical or laser method.
  • a method for creating a drink pouch which has a straw containing channel comprising the steps of:
  • the laminate is mounted on a reel prior to folding.
  • the method further comprises inserting a straw into the compartment
  • the method further comprises filling the pouch with a suitable liquid.
  • the anticipated external atmospheric pressure is airline cabin pressure.
  • the step of laminating comprises adding a third layer to the laminate.
  • the step of folding the laminate creates a 3 sided pouch.
  • the step of shaping the laminate comprises folding the laminate.
  • Figure 1 shows a pouch 1 with a top seal 3 and side seals 5.
  • the seals are formed in a heat seal machine.
  • the pouch also has a standard gusset bottom 7 which is shaped to enable the pouch to stand up on its end.
  • the front 10 and rear 13 faces of the pouch are shown in figures 1B and 1C .
  • the pouch is made from a triplex foil laminate. In other embodiments of the invention, other suitable heat bondable materials may be used.
  • a tearable corner 9 is provided by a seam-like indentation which extends from the top seal 3 to the side seal 5 at a top corner of the pouch 1.
  • the liquid level 15 is shown and an air gap is typically present at the top of the pouch 1 when it is in an upright position.
  • Channel 17 is positioned to the side of the pouch 1 and extends below the tearable corner 9 and accommodates a straw 25.
  • the channel 17 is defined by the front 10 and rear faces of the pouch and by sealing edges 19 and 21.
  • Channel sealing edge 19 is created using a heat seal to bond together a linear section of the front 10 and rear 13 faces of the pouch 1.
  • the creation of the channel 17 by sealing together a length of the front 10 and rear 13 of the pouch gives the channel a generally oval shape when in use.
  • the sealing edge 19 extends from the top seal 3 a predetermined distance down the length of the pouch at a suitable distance laterally displaced from channel edge seal 21.
  • the length of the channel 17 may be selected to accommodate most or all of the length of the straw which assists with guiding the straw to the opening in the pouch.
  • channel edge seal 21 comprises the side seal 5 of the pouch 1. It will be appreciated that the length of the channel is defined by the length of channel edge seal 19 which terminates at the open end of the channel 23. The channel length is selected to ensure that the straw 25 may be guided up and through the opening once the tearable corner 9 has been removed. This means that the channel must extend down the length of the straw a sufficient distance so that if the straw is not parallel with the channel it will not make an angle with the side of the channel which would prevent the straw from emerging from the opened pouch 1.
  • the channel serves another purpose in that it acts as a funnel.
  • known types of pouch it may be difficult to get some liquid out of the pouch via the straw when most of the liquid has been consumed.
  • the creation of a channel 17 acts to collect liquid making it easier to drink.
  • the side view of figure 1B shows the position of the channel 17, similarly, the plan view of figure 1C shows the substantially oval shape of the channel caused by the creation of edge seals 19 and 21 which also distorts the shape of the pouch adjacent to the edge seal 19 but less so towards the base of the pouch.
  • Figure 2 shows a second embodiment of the present invention which comprises a pouch 31 with a top seal 33 and side seals 35.
  • the pouch 31 also has a standard gusset bottom 37 which is shaped to enable the pouch to stand up on its end.
  • a tearable corner 39 is provided by a seam-like indentation which extends from the top seal 33 to the side seal 35 at a top corner of the pouch 31.
  • the liquid level 45 is shown and an air gap is present at the top of the pouch 31 when it is in an upright position.
  • Channel 47 is positioned to the side of the pouch 31 and extends below the tearable corner 39 and accommodates a straw 55.
  • the channel 47 is defined by the front 40 and rear faces of the pouch and by sealing edges 49 and 51.
  • Channel sealing edge 49 is created using a heat seal to bond together a linear section of the front 40 and rear 43 of the pouch 30.
  • the channel sealing edge 49 intersects with the tearable corner at 57 and the channel is narrower than that shown in figure 1A . A narrower channel restricts lateral movement of the straw in the pouch.
  • the sealing edge 49 extends from the top seal 33 a predetermined distance down the length of the pouch at a suitable distance laterally displaced from channel edge seal 51.
  • the length of the channel 47 may be selected to accommodate most or all of the length of the straw which assists with guiding the straw to the opening in the pouch 31.
  • Figure 3 shows a third embodiment of the present invention which comprises a pouch 61 with a top seal 63 and side seals 65.
  • the pouch 61 also has a standard gusset bottom 67 which is shaped to enable the pouch to stand up on its end.
