WASTE PACKING THAT CAN BE RE-CLOSED, OUTPUT TRAINING STRUCTURE THAT CAN BE RETURNED TO CLOSE AND METHOD AND APPARATUS TO MAKE THEMSELVES This international application claims priority for the Provisional Patent Application of the United States of America Serial Number: 60 / 010,455, filed on January 23, 1996, and the provisional patent application of the United States of America entitled "EMPAQUE SURTIDOR QUE IT CAN BE RE-CLOSED, OUTPUT FORMATION STRUCTURE THAT CAN BE RE-CLOSED AND METHOD AND APPARATUS TO DO THEMSELVES ", presented on January 3, 1997 by the same inventor of the present non-provisional application, both of which incorporated herein by reference.

FIELD OF THE INVENTION This invention relates to single or multiple use gaskets, easy to use, self-contained, easy to open, capable of economic production, at high speed, manufactured from a wide range of materials, many of which They are recyclable. They may contain products such as syrups, cream, cheeses, salad dressings, shampoo, hand cream, liquid detergents, motor oil, toothpastes, pet food and many other products. Additionally it is related to a package that has the capacity to dose the contained product, for example, mouthwash, cough syrup, sweets, alcoholic beverages, etc., directly in the mouth of the user, and which also includes a cover member which is closed again, formed as an integral part of the package and which is preferably tied to the package by means of a halter also integrally formed with the package. It will also be seen that the property of the lid that opens easily together with the closing lid and the halter can be independently formed and sealed or adhered to the surface of many packages such as sacks, milk containers, bags, cushions ( sachets), etcetera, to make packaging very efficient low cost or compressible sacks. These compressible bags could dose food pastes such as pet food, creams, fat, yogurt, certain types of dough, cake cover and could be made from plastic films, coated cardboard, treated, metal sheets, laminates or coextrusions of these materials. The easy-opening element of this application in its preferred embodiment is comprised of a drum-shaped projection from which a secondary protrusion in the form of a truncated cone extends to form a tip which is surrounded at its base by a fault line. To create the opening this tip is separated by applying a slight lateral pressure of the finger. In order to protect this separation point during shipping or to close the opening again, a lid tied with a halter adjacent to the double projection is also formed. The halter works not only to hold the lid, thereby preventing the lid from being lost, but also to keep the lid [at the tip] in place acting like a spring. In a system for forming the reciprocating aperture, the initial drum-shaped projection has, instead of a truncated cone separation tip, a fault line pattern defined on its upper surface, thus designed to be broken to create an output of Various forms required when a tool / drill plug is pressed in the pattern of the fault line. This tool / cap can be formed instead of a cap and can be tied with halter or the cap can have double end with a cap formation at one end and the tool / cap formation at the other. It can also be seen that a lid containing a protruding member formed within the cover similar to the style of a flower would behave like a central punch when the lid is pressed on the drum-shaped projection. You will also see that in certain cases when a metal sheet liner is required for a fluid product such as an alcoholic beverage the drum-shaped projection may be replaced by a mound-shaped projection with a central fault line pattern. The reason for this form of mound instead of drum shape is to avoid stretching the blade beyond its elastic limit at the intersections of the surface in which case it would break during formation. This pattern is capable of being punctured to be opened by a tool / drilling plug formed, said tool / drill plug can be formed by heat and tied with halter to the unit or can be made independently and the halter can have a ring formed at its free end in which the tool / drill plug can be put. This invention also relates to a method and apparatus for manufacturing the aforesaid training and packing, reliably at high speed, in many cases from a completely recyclable material, to allow these packages to be produced at low cost and, in many cases , recyclable Additionally, the gaskets can use less plastic material than most other previously known portion gaskets leading to source reduction and environmental benefits even when non-recyclable materials are used. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Several attempts have been made to provide a dispensing package in which a product can pack a product in the amount normally required for single or multiple uses, and from which the contained product can be dosed.

One type of these dispensing packages is a cushion or sachet bag, typically made of relatively thin plastics and metal sheets or combinations of plastics and laminated metal sheets. These packages are most often found as containers for ketchup, mustard, other condiments, beauty preparations such as hair conditioners, dyes and creams, and so on. Although this type of packaging is universally used, it also universally dislikes consumers. In order to access the contents, the pouch should be held in one hand while a tearing movement and force is applied with the other hand. Creating the initial tear to break the seal of the packs is often very difficult, often requiring the help of the user's teeth. Moreover, as soon as an initial tear is created, the laminated metal sheet and / or plastic material not only frequently tears in an uncontrolled manner, but the clamping pressure exerted by one of the user's hands frequently forces the contents out of the wrapping not only before the user is ready to apply the content, even before the tear movement is finished. Opening these packages leads to losing patience, breaking your nails, and chipping your teeth, as well as other problems. The user must also use both hands to open the container. In the case of invalids, those suffering from arthritis and other handicapped people, opening these packages is virtually impossible. Also another problem associated with these previous packages is the impossibility of closing them again efficiently, thus preventing the multiple use of the packaging, with the consequent waste of unused content. Other disadvantages include the inability of the sachet to function effectively with products of low viscosity such as coffee cream, mouthwash or alcoholic beverages, due to the inability of the torn opening to control the flow direction of the packaging liquids. These packages are also generally totally non-recyclable, and therefore become environmental contaminants. As mentioned above, however, if the continued use of these sachets is preferred, then the easy-opening feature of this application can be easily and economically adhered to the sachet to achieve a high-barrier, resealable, easy pack. opening. Another dosage pack is the peelable top cup used for butter, margarine, syrups, sauces, salad dressing and other similar products. This type of packaging requires good eyesight and manual dexterity. These packages are often used as coffee makers and have many disadvantages, including the difficulty of peeling the top in order to open them, as well as the difficulty in serving, the accidental spillage, and the inability to close them again so that it prevents using it more than once. Again the inventions described herein can be adhered or integrally formed in these packages to make them easy to open and to close again. Still another type of dispensing package is the unsealed corrugated paper packaging used for salt and / or pepper, which after folding an interrupted line cut through the corrugations forms an opening through which the salt or other material Content in the package can flow. These packages only provide dry, solid flowables with the help of gravity, and can not be used to contain, let alone dose, liquid or "wet" flowable materials. The package of this invention can contain and easily dose both liquid and dry granular products. Small, expensive bottles with a metal lid for alcoholic beverages are used and are either served or consumed directly from the bottle. These bottles can be closed again, but they are frequently calculated for a single drink so they do not need to be closed again. The present packaging can be used for alcoholic beverages at a fraction of the cost of the bottles. Everyone 'is familiar with the milk carton with ubiquitous gable top and everyone is familiar with varying degrees of difficulty in opening them. This range ranges from breaking the nails to being able to open it only with a knife or other tool. They never truly close again and at the end they look dirty and muddy. In the United States there has been a tendency to assemble a bolted lid combination comprising a threaded jet member which is sealed on one of the slanted gables of the carton and the other is a non-bonded bolted lid. This injection molded duo is expensive to do and install it, possibly of the order of 3 to 5 cents and is commonly used in large containers of juice with gable top in the size of 2 liters. These are expensive high-gain items that sell for approximately three dollars each and can carry an extra fee for screwed-out exits. However there are billions of these gablet top units sold annually for milk and cream in varying sizes from half a liter to two liters. However, producers are reluctant to increase carton costs significantly and the public continues to use cartons that are difficult to open. The present invention makes available a sealed and tamper evident outlet with a tied lid, both formed in a single small plastic unit that can be easily sealed or adhesively added to the gable over a small previously made hole. It is ultra low cost and can be made of polypropylene, high density polyethylene, PVC, polyester and so on, using material that costs small fractions of a penny. It will be seen that the lid serves a double purpose. Allows the exit to close again after opening and of equal importance, since the lid is placed on the tip of separation during boarding protects the tip from accidentally hitting or submit to any force that may open the exit. It can be seen that the lower drum-like formation below the separation tip can be lengthened so that when the tip separates, an elongated nozzle remains which would allow the flowable substance to be ingested directly from the container or in the case of oil of engine, was poured directly into the engine oil inlet. Another disadvantage currently experienced with dispensing gaskets is to close the inlet opening. Closing the opening of the tube outlet is currently carried out by means of an injection molded screw cap which normally includes a compressible packing material. The end of the tube requires a mating thread to mate with the cap. Both the cap with separately molded packing and the threaded pipe result in increased manufacturing costs. Additionally, the cap often falls off and / or is lost when it is being screwed or unscrewed. In addition, there has been an increasing tendency to manufacture these tubes at an even higher cost by providing hinged lids with a flat end surface that allows the tube to remain vertical. Thus the cover members currently in use have the disadvantage that they tend to increase the overall manufacturing cost of the dispensing package. OBJECTS OF THE INVENTION It is therefore an object of this invention to provide a new and improved means of creating an aperture in a heat-formable plastic material as well as an integrally formed cap and a halter when necessary.

The specific objects and prior advantages of the invention are illustrative of those that can be achieved by the present invention and are not intended to be exhaustive or limiting of the possible advantages which can be realized. A) Yes, these and other objects and advantages of the invention will be apparent from the description herein or can be learned by practicing the invention, either as embodied herein or modified in view of any variation that may be apparent to technicians with ordinary experience in the field, making or achieving these variations by means of the parts, constructions and instrumentation, and combinations thereof, as well as in the steps and processes indicated in the appended claims. The present invention resides in the parts, constructions, arrangements, combinations, steps and novel processes, and improvements, shown and described herein. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Briefly described this invention is directed to new means of forming an opening, which is closed again which can be formed with an integrally formed cover member which can be tied with halter to the aperture forming means to create a unit which can be formed independently and adhesively or sealedly attached to a wall or surface of the container over a hole in the wall of the container to create a dispensing package that opens easily and can be reclosed, when necessary . The reclosable aperture forming means incorporates an integral hollow projecting member that preferably comprises two stages, a drum-like base from which a generally conical or truncated cone tip extends, with the tip member a fault line surrounding it at its junction with the flat top surface of the first drum formation that can be easily separated to form an opening through which the contents of the package can be dosed into a directionally controllable stream. After the tip of the protrusion member is separated by applying light lateral pressure with the fingers, the desired amount of the contents can then be expelled through the outlet as an open nozzle by gently compressing the package by hand. In a second embodiment, the entire resealable aperture forming means can be formed integrally in what will become a reclosable dispensing package that is easy to use. In this second embodiment a compressible container or member, generally relatively flexible, is sealingly attached to a cover member forming the top or lid of the package. The cover member includes the new reclosable aperture forming means and cap member tied with halter as described above and used in a similar manner. In another desirable embodiment, the bag or container member has the integral hollow protrusion and the cap member with thermally formed ridge formed on the underside of its relatively rigid clamping ring. The advantage of this version is that the cover member then becomes a relatively thin skin member which is very easy to print and less expensive than the formed top cover member. The above-mentioned cap member which is initially formed with the package as an integral unit, preferably is formed along a peripheral edge of either the cover member forming the top or lid of the package relatively closely adjacent to the cover member. step separation projection or on the underside of the clamping ring. A cutting line can create a haller member which allows the cap member to be mechanically removed by the user from its molded position in production and placed on the aperture forming element as an open nozzle so as to protect the tip of the cap. separation during boarding and handling, while remaining tied to the packing. As is also preferably done, the aforementioned lid member allows the end user of the package to easily open or re-close the package after each use. * * * * In other alternative embodiments of the dispensing package of the present invention: (i) the separation projection member forming the opening in the package can be separated from the surface of the cover member forming the upper part or cover of the container. packing, thereby eliminating the outlet configuration as a nozzle in applications where the contents of the packaging do not require the formation of the nozzle; (ii) the lid member can be formed with miniature protrusions to act as a brush, or it can have another desired shape for performing other desired tool functions for use to handle the dosed contents of the package, such as by brush application or extension; (ii) if it is not required to close the package again, the lid member may have an open end having a previously determined shape so that, after placing the lid member over the mouthpiece-like opening of the package, the contents can be dosed in the stream in that way; (iv) the cap member may be provided with an internal central plug of dimensions that coincide with the opening formed in the dispensing package to thereby serve as a plug to better secure the seal of the opening after removal of the cap member. outgoing separation; and (v) the separating and cap-attached halter members can be formed into a portion of the cover member that extends beyond an end of the understandable bag member at a predetermined angle and communicates with the product contained therein. in the bag by means of a shallow neck or channel, thereby facilitating the application of the contents of the package on a surface, such as, for example, toothpaste on a toothbrush or glue on a line of rupture. Alternatively, the separation projection member may be formed in the cover member directly on the bag portion with the cover formed in a small adjacent flat area. This method produces a somewhat larger bag volume although it uses the same total amount of material. It will be understood that the above preferred embodiments of the dosage pack of the present invention can be formed by heat from a wide variety of plastic materials, including, for example, polypropylene (PP), Barex, high density polyethylene (HDPE), high impact polystyrene (HIPS) and high impact foam polystyrene, as well as several laminations and / or coextrusions of the aforementioned materials and other plastic materials, including, for polypropylene / ethylene vinyl alcohol / polystyrene example; Barex / polypropylene; Barex / ethylene-vinyl alcohol / polypropylene; polyethylene tetrafluoride (PET) / linear low density polyethylene (LLDPE); polyethylene tetrafluoride / ethylene vinyl alcohol / linear low density polyethylene; polyvinyl chloride (PVC) / linear low density polyethylene; nylon (NY) / linear low density polyethylene; and nylon / ethylene vinyl alcohol / linear low density polyethylene. Alternatively, the means for forming the opening and dosing packages of the present invention can be formed by injection molding. It will also be understood that the above preferred embodiments of the dosing packages of the present invention can be manufactured in a wide variety of sizes, as desired, although the preferred size range is from about 2 milliliters of capacity to about a capacity of 120 milliliters. . Similarly, the aforementioned packaging can be manufactured in a wide range of dimensions. A typical size for a package containing 30 milliliters or 1 fluid ounce of material is in the order of approximately 2.54 cm deep by approximately 2.54 centimeters wide by approximately 7.62 centimeters to 10.16 centimeters long, which fits comfortably in the palm hand in hand with the majority of users. In addition, the independent formations of the aperture-forming medium and the lids tied with halter can be applied to a very wide range of packages from single-use sizes to 2 liters. Briefly described, as is preferably done, the apparatus of the present invention that forms the projection member that forms a preferred opening in the dispenser cover cover member includes a two stage punch member that advances to engage and hold a material heat-forming against a hollow anvil member that self-centers and self-aligns. The first piercing member advances to initially form a hollow drum-shaped projection in a specific hot area of the heat-formable material. After that, a second piercing member is preferably located within, and movable relative to, the first piercing member continues to advance forward. The second piercing member includes a first surface in the generally truncated cone shape adapted to form a hollow point member in substantially cylindrical or truncated cone shape extending from the drum-like projection formed by the first punch member. At the moment when the formation of the hollow point member ends, the forward advancement of the second punch leads to a second surface conical surface to cooperative engagement with the peripheral edge or clamping ring defining the hollow portion of the anvil member to compress by it the wall of the hollow tip formed around a peripheral portion thereof to create a weakened fault line in the hollow point projection member. As herein preferentially performed, the aforementioned punch and anvil members create a fault line at the base of the aforementioned hollow point projection member that extends continuously around the periphery thereof. In an alternative embodiment of the apparatus of the present invention, the heated sheet of heat-formable material is clamped against the anvil member and a single-stage punch member having a forward end portion in the generally truncated cone shape is made advancing thereafter to form the aforementioned hollow point member, substantially cylindrical or truncated cone shaped. At the time the formation of the hollow point member is completed, the clamping ring of the anvil member compresses the wall of the hollow tip member around the periphery thereof to create a weakened fault line. It will be seen that the heated heat-formable film (material) can be clamped against a relatively thin plate separated from the anvil containing a hole aligned precisely centered in the opening of the anvil member. In this embodiment, between the punch and the anvil the film will be formed as a conical member as the punch is advanced through the plate and the conical member will then be further formed until it contacts the peripheral edge or clamping ring in the opening of the opening in the anvil. This alternative apparatus creates a fault line that limits or surrounds the cone-shaped tip member formed at the previously determined point between its base and its apex. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that the brief descriptions above and the following detailed description are exemplary and explanatory of the present invention, but are not intended to be restrictive thereof or to limit the advantages that may be achieved by the invention or various combinations of the same. same.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF SEVERAL PREFERRED MODALITIES Referring now more particularly to the Figures 1-4 and 9 of the accompanying drawings, there is illustrated a dispensing package generally indicated as 10 according to the present invention. The package 10 can be used for single or multiple uses and can be reclosed for additional use. As illustrated in Figures 1 and 4, the package 10 includes a cover member 11 formed from a flexible flat sheet metal but generally relatively rigid 12 of a heat-formable plastic material the most convenient for the contained product and the protection required by the contained product. Materials such as high impact polystyrene, high density polyethylene, high density polyethylene / ethylene vinyl alcohol, Barex, polypropylene, etc. can be used. Each of high impact polystyrene, high density polyethylene, and high density polyethylene / ethylene vinyl alcohol are inexpensive and can be recycled. High density polyethylene / ethylene vinyl alcohol creates an upper O2 barrier. As will be understood by those skilled in the art, while plastics of similar material can be heat sealed or glued together, heat sealing different plastics together requires an adhesive layer. Preferably, linear low density polyethylene is used as this layer. Thus, multi-layer plastics formed by co-extrusion can be sealed together to form sheet 12 having seal / barrier 14 of the present invention. Also conveniently glued to one side of the bonded sheet 12, 14 is a flexible sheet 18 forming at least one bag chamber 22 adjacent to a relatively stiff face of the sheet 12 or glued sheet 12, 14 to contain a preferably flowable substance, example, a dry powder or granular material or a liquid material of any convenient viscosity capable of flowing under light to moderate manual pressure.

Advantageously, as is here preferably done, the layer of a seal / vapor impermeable barrier material 14 is integrally suitably glued to the sheet 12 on the inner surface 16 which faces the flexible sheet 18. The flexible sheet 18, advantageously formed by conventional means, such as vacuum forming, pressure forming, mechanical forming or combinations thereof, is probably integrally glued either to the inner surface 16 or to the seal / barrier 14 of the sheet 12, as the case. The joints between the relatively stiff substantially flat sheet 12, the seal / barrier material 14 and the flexible sheet 18 can also be formed by conventional means known to those of ordinary skill in the art of packaging, such as by welding, heat sealing , or adhesive bond or by cohesion. It will be understood that the particular bonding method selected depends on the particular properties of the materials used and the flowable substance to be contained in the package. Advantageously, and as is preferably done, the sheet 12 is preferably made of polypropylene, Barex, high impact polystyrene or high density polyethylene, but when combined with the barrier 14 it can be made of polystyrene, polyester, ethylene vinyl alcohol, polyvinyl chloride, polyethylene or nylon tetrafluoride or a copolymer thereof, and the barrier 14 is made of a vapor impermeable barrier / seal material, preferably comprising saran and sheet metal laminate, or comprising a sheet metal and vinyl laminate, or metallic sheet alone, depending on the nature of the content that is to be contained. A particularly resistant high barrier construction comprises saran laminated on each side with polyethylene (sold by Dow Chemical Co. under the name "Saranex") as barrier sheet 14, in turn laminated on polystyrene or polyester, forming the flexible but relatively rigid sheet 12. The thickness of the sheet 12 varies according to factors, such as the properties of the materials used, the contained flowable substance, and the intended use. A generally used range is 0.10 mm to 0.30 mm. As previously noted, the sheet 12 is preferably somewhat flexible, although stiffer than the material 18 that forms the bag 22, and is preferably made more rigid by the raised portion Ia formed in the cover 11 in the preferred construction of the package 10. Technicians with ordinary experience will understand that the joints formed between the materials 12, 14 and 18 can be obtained by conventional means previously described, again depending on the nature of the flowable substance that is being contained. It will be seen from the above that the structure of Figures 1 and 2 forms a closed bag or chamber 22 between the flexible sheet 18 and the relatively rigid member 12, 14 in which a preferably flowable substance is contained and from which the substance contained is dosed. According to the present invention, as is preferably done, the generally relatively flat planar sheet 12 forming the cover 11 includes a projection structure forming an opening 30 which includes a neck member 32 and a separation tip member 34 so as to that, after removing the tip 34, the neck 32 forms a nozzle-like opening in the package 10 through which the contents can be dosed in a directionally controllable manner. The neck and tip projections 32, 34 are preferably substantially hollow, substantially cylindrical and the tip 34 is preferably substantially cylindrical or truncated cone shaped. In the preferred embodiment as shown in the plan view of Figure 3, the protruding structure forming opening 30 is located on cover 11 directly on bag 22 so that, when opened, nozzle opening 32 communicates directly with the contents of the bag 22. According to the present invention, as preferably performed, the spout 10 includes a cap member 110 formed as an integral part of the cover 11. Advantageously, the cap member 110 is removable of deck 11 along a line. It will be seen that the lid 110 protects the separation tip structure 30 from being inadvertently broken during shipping and handling before use, as well as providing a means for reclosing the package after opening, ie, after the member outgoing point 34 breaks. Thus, the lid 110 protects the remaining contents of the package after each use, allowing multiple uses. The advantage of the halter-tied modality of the invention is that it almost costs nothing, it acts as a lateral pressure spring to maintain the cap on the neck 32 in the opening, it acts as a grasping member to assist in the removal of the lid for each subsequent use, and avoids the loss of the lid before the contents of the package have been completely dosed and the package is ready to be discarded. Other details of the cover are explained later. However, in practically all cases, it is believed that it is preferable to provide the two-step separation tip configuration since the first cylindrical projection 32 acts as a nozzle that produces a directionally controllable dosing of the product., after the tip, that is, the second projection 34, breaks. Low and medium viscosity flowable products tend to run off "sideways" or run off in non-controllable directions as they pass through an opening formed in the plane of the cover member. In addition, raising the separation tip of the surface of the cover member greatly increases its ease of use without practical increase in manufacturing costs. In use, as is preferably done herein, the package 10 is preferably positioned so that the bag or camera 22 rests in the palm of the hand with the thumb resting on the cover 11. The thumb or finger of the hand holding , or the other hand of the user, if desired, can then be used to apply slight pressure of the finger against the side of the nose of the projection 34, ie, the separation tip, thereby causing the tip 34 to break leaving an open neck or opening as a nozzle 32. As soon as the tip 34 is removed and the package is opened by this, the contents of the package 10 can be expelled. This method of use depends on the type of substance contained in the package and where the user would like to put the content. For example, in the package containing toothpaste, the open mouthpiece 32 would preferably be placed on a toothbrush, the open mouthpiece 32 would preferably be placed on a toothbrush, wherein the soft tightness of the package 10 will force the toothpaste on the toothbrush. If the contents of the package are intended to be placed directly in the mouth of the user, or the mouth of a patient, such as for oral medication or mouthwash, the open mouthpiece 32 can then be placed directly in the mouth and a portion or all, of the content can then be directed towards the mouth by squeezing the package. When the desired amount of packaging content has been issued, if any contents remain, the package 10 can then be re-closed for future use by placing the lid 110 on the open nozzle 32. As previously mentioned, as is preferably done here, the package 10 further includes a lid 110. Although the lid 110 can be formed separately from the other elements of the package 10, in the preferred embodiment the lid 110 is integrally formed with and is at least partially peelable from the relatively rigid sheet 12 which form the cover 11, as shown in Figures 1-3, 9-10, 15-18, 22-23d, 29a-c, 32-35, 38-40, and 42-47, for example. As shown in Figures 1-3 and 8-9, the lid 110 is preferably located at a corner in the cover 11 so that the bag 22 hangs. A cut line 114 allows the lid 110 to be easily removed from the cover 11. Advantageously, as best seen in Figure 10, the cut line 114 extends only partially along the edge of the cover 11 so as to provide a halter 130 to hold the lid 110 attached to the package 10 even after The lid 110 is typically unthreaded and has dimensions that fit smoothly, but securely, over the neck projection 32, which preferably is also smooth and without thread, both before and after the removal of the tip 34. The lid 110 has a base 126 that lies flat against the top of the cover 11. The halter 130 has several advantages. First, it has been discovered that the halter 130 acts as a spring which presses the lid against the side wall of the neck-shaped projection 32, thereby helping to hold the lid 110 in place when it is placed on the shaped projection. of collar 32. Additionally, the halter 130 provides the added benefit of preventing the cap 110 from being lost and allowing the user to grasp the halter 130 to assist in removing the cap 130 from the structure forming the opening 30 or from the open mouthpiece 32. The lid 110 of the present invention can be designed in several different embodiments. For example, in the embodiment shown in Figures 10 and 11, the lid can be formed from a hollow piercing member 120 which forces the material in a hollow female member 122 with a central protrusion 124 to form a lid with a central cap 126 An alternative to the embodiment shown in Figures 1-4 is shown in Figures 2a and 3a. As shown, the container 10a generally has the same configuration as the container 10 shown in Figures 1-3 is made of the same materials. Specifically, the bag 22a is formed between a flexible sheet 18a and the skin very thin as the sheet 12a, 14a, in which a fluid substance is contained. Unlike the previous embodiment, the protruding structure forming opening 30a is formed on the underside of the flat sheet 18. Similarly, the cover 110a is formed on the underside of the sheet 18. With this arrangement, no only the neck and tip projections 32a, 34a of the projection structure 30a are protected from accidental breakage, but also the container 10a is provided with a low cost flexible cover. In order for the projecting structure 30a to be in fluid communication with the contents of the bag 22a, the bag 22a is provided with a channel 11b which communicates with the projecting structure. It will be understood that the projecting structure that forms opening 30 may be made of a variety of methods and apparatus. According to the present invention, however, as is preferably done, a membrane of thermoformable material to be converted to the cover 11 is first heated to a sufficient forming temperature. The membrane is then formed as the hollow cylindrical projection 32 with a closed end. The closed end portion of the cylinder 32 is then deformed in its center section to create the tip 34. At the moment the tip 34 is completely formed, the intersection of the base of the tip 34 and the cylinder 32 is compressed, reducing its thickness , to create by this a fault line extending around the periphery of the base of the tip 34. Also according to the present invention, as here preferably performed, the projection forming aperture 30 is formed by an apparatus of punch and matrix that self-centers and self-aligns male and female, indicated generally at 40, as shown in Figures 4-7. The apparatus 40 includes feed rollers 42 or other means for advancing the membrane or film "F" of thermoformable material in a heating station 44 wherein a heater block 46 advances against the film to press the sheet against a stationary heater block 48. , which has the temperature controlled by a thermocouple 50 and is provided with the necessary energy in the connection 51. An air cylinder 52 provides the driving force to move the heater block 46 by means of the arrow 54. The heater block 46 includes two heaters energized by a suitable power source 58. A two-stage punch member 60 includes a first male punch 62 formed as a generally cylindrical hollow punch having a substantially flat end surface 64 at its operative end. When the first piercing member is advanced, the end surface 64 engages and deforms the heated sheet of the thermoformable material F, preferably plastic, compressing the plastic against a generally cylindrical hollow anvil member 66, mounted on the opposite side, generally of the same shape, movable in a perforation 68 of a support 70. The anvil 66 has an end face 71. The first punch 62 has an adjustment space with the perforation 68 so that it can be moved therein to confront the extreme face of the anvil 66. The anvil 66 has an aperture bore 67 formed as part of its hollow portion. Anvil 66 is part of a spring-loaded rocking member 72, preferably supported by a ball-shaped member 74, or other similarly shaped curved rocking device, in a larger base opening 75 so that both are elastic and self-centering and self-aligned with the punch member 60. Although the rocking chair 74 preferably is curved or ball-shaped, a relatively flat surface in the spring-mounted joint with the adjustable mechanism base 89 also serves to self-center the opening 67 of the anvil member 66 with respect to the truncated cone surface 84 and the inclined surface 83 of the second punch 80, described more fully hereinafter. The peripheral edge or adjusting ring of the opening 67 in the anvil 66 is smaller than the perforation of the punch 62 to create an internal shoulder 76 when the substantially opposite end surfaces 64, 71 of the hollow cylindrical punch member 62 and the anvil member 66 They are brought together. The anvil and the first punch are preferably made of hardened steel. In use, at the end of the first stage of the formation of the opening projection 30, shown in Figure 5, the plastic membrane F is formed in a closed projection end, in the shape of a hollow drum, generally cylindrical, with the plastic membrane stretched across the end of the first generally cylindrical hollow punch, and clamped between the opposing facing surfaces 64, 71 of the punch and anvil members. A second punch member 80 is mounted to travel within a hollow hole 81 and beyond the end face 64 of the first punch member 62. The second punch member 80 includes an arrow 82 whose operating end surface includes a shallow tilt 83, advantageously of the order of 45 °, ending in a conical portion 84 with a flat end face 85 forming a truncated cone shaped tip, which is generally indicated at 86. The second punch member and its inclination 83 advances towards the controlled engagement with the inner peripheral edge of the shoulder 76 formed on the opposite end surfaces 64, 71 of the first punch 62 and the anvil 66.

In one aspect of the present invention, as is preferable, the second punch member 80 can be constructed of multiple parts. For example, each of the truncated and inclined cone portions 84, 83 can be formed separately and removably attached to the surface of the forward end of the arrow 82, such as by means of threaded connections. Alternatively, arrow 82 and tip portions 83, 84 can be formed as an integral unit. The second punch member is driven by the air cylinder 87. It will be understood from the foregoing that the full length of the truncated cone end 86 of the bore 80 continues to run past the formed internal shoulder 76 and into the anvil opening 67 so far wherein the inclined surface 83 is brought into precisely controlled cooperation engagement with the inner peripheral edge of the inner shoulder 76 formed by the opposite end surfaces 64, 71 of the first punch 62 and the anvil 66. Advancement of the surface of the punch 83 against the shoulder 76 is controlled precisely by the micro-power punch adjustment mechanism 88 and the adjustable stop mechanism of the anvil 89. The still-hot closed end of the initially formed hollow cylinder 32, i.e. the first drum-like projection of the structure which opening form 30 is, in a second stage, further formed into a tip formed substantially cylindrical rich or truncated cone 34, that is, the second projection of the structure forming opening 30, by the second punch member advancing up to the shallow inclined surface 83 of the punch 80 engages the plastic sheet. At that time, the second punch surface 83 controllably compresses, cools and fixes the plastic membrane F against the peripherally extending inner edge formed in the shoulder 76 of the anvil to reduce the thickness, and thereby, weaken the wall of the plastic in the place the peripheral edge to form a narrow, peripherally extending slit 100, known as a break or fault line, at the base of the tip projection 34. It will be seen that the fault line 100 allows the tip projection 34 is easily separated by means of only slight lateral pressure to thereby form an outlet opening as a nozzle in the neck projection 32. It should be noted that the changes in the dimensions of the inclined end 86 and the anvil 66 are within the range of the present invention. For example, it is often desirable to produce a fine stream of the contents of a container, such as motor oil. Accordingly, the opening formed by the base of the tip projection 34 should be relatively small, such as that shown in Figure 8a. To form this protruding structure forming opening 30, end 86 is elongated, and inclined surface 83 is placed closer to distal end 85. In addition, anvil 66 is provided with a relatively narrow opening. Accordingly, as shown in Figure 7a, the fault line 100 and the separation tip 34a are smaller. Alternatively, the entire punch 82 and, therefore, the protrusion structure 30 becomes narrower. In other applications, where the contents of a container are large particles, such as cat food, the opening should be relatively large, such as that shown in Figure 7b. To achieve a larger opening, the entire perforation 82 and therefore the projecting structure 30 become wider. Alternatively, the fault line 100 and the separation tip 34 become larger. In one embodiment illustrated in Figures 12 and 13, a single punch 90 with a truncated end 92 can be used. The single punch 90 includes an inclined surface 94 which joins the film or membrane F of thermoplastic material to form the tip protrusion. hollow generally truncated cone 34. As is done here, the thermoplastic membrane F is first clamped between the shoulder plate 96 and the face 97 of an external punch member similar to the punch 62. After that, the punch 90 advances, whereupon the end 94 forms the membrane F in a truncated cone tip 34, as shown in Figure 13. However, as is done alternately, as best seen in Figure 12, after completing the formation of the tip 34, the peripheral edge 76a of the anvil member 70 engages and compresses the outer surface of the truncated cone wall of the tip 34 to create a peripherally extending fault line 100a throughout of the projecting surface of the tip 34 between its base and its apex. In yet another alternative embodiment illustrated in Figures 12a and 13a, a single punch 91 with a slanted, truncated end 93 can be used to form the hollow tip protrusion generally truncated cone 31. Single punch 91 engages the film or membrane F of the thermoplastic material with the inclined surface 93. As with the embodiment shown in Figures 13 and 14, the thermoplastic membrane F is first clamped between the stop plate 95 and the clamping means 98 of an external piercing member. After that, the punch 91 advances, after which the end 93 forms the membrane F at the truncated cone tip 31. As best shown in Figure 13a, the contact of the peripheral edge 77 of the angle member 71 compresses the outer surface of the truncated cone tip 31 to create a peripherally extending fault line 100b. Contrary to the embodiment shown in Figures 12 and 13, the stop plate 95 is located adjacent the arrow of the punch 91, below the truncated, slanted end 93. Accordingly, the thermoplastic membrane F is formed around the inclined end 93 as well as the straight cylindrical arrow 91a. As best seen in Figure 13a, the resulting truncated cone tip 31 has a separation tip 35, a permanent projection 33, and a straight cylindrical section 33a. The straight cylindrical section 33a is provided so that a lid can be securely connected with a tip 31. In an alternative embodiment illustrated in Figure 12b, a single punch 91B has a spherical tip 93A. The spherical tip 93A engages with the thermoplastic membrane F to form a hollow mound projection. As is done, the thermoplastic membrane F is first clamped below a stop plate 95A. After that, the punch 91B advances, after which the spherical end 93A forms the membrane F in a hollow mound. In addition, the punch 91B is advanced towards the anvil 71A until the outer surface of the membrane F is engaged with the peripheral edge 77A of the anvil member 71A, thereby creating a fault line extending around the tip of the fingers. mound structures. It has been found that the spherical tip 93A allows the self-alignment of the punch 91B as the membrane F engages the peripheral edge 77A of the anvil 71A. Referring now more particularly to Figures 15-18 of the accompanying drawings, an alternative embodiment of the dispenser package of the present invention, generally indicated by the reference numeral 200, is illustrated. As embodied herein, the cover 211 includes a side extension 211a extending beyond one end of the containment bag 222 and both the opening forming structure 230 and the reclosing cover member 240 are formed in the extent of the cover 211a. A shallow channel member 150 communicates the opening-forming structure 230 with the contents of the bag 222. In addition, alternatively, as shown in Figure 17, the lateral extension 211a of the cover 211 is formed at an angle with respect to the cover 11 so that it slopes towards the side of the cover bag 11. It has been found that the embodiments of Figures 14-17 are advantageous because they make it easier to dose the contents of the package on a surface, such as butter or cream cheese on a slice of bread or toothpaste on a toothbrush. Referring more particularly to Figures 18-20, various other alternative embodiments of the cover member of the present invention are shown. Thus, as shown in Figure 18, the upper part of the resilient cap 110 may include bristles or buttons to function as a brush member; as shown in Figure 19, the upper part of the lid 110 can have a flattened surface 270 capable of functioning as an extension tool; as shown in Figures 20a-d, the lid 110 may have the open end and have a shaped edge configuration, such as that shown at 280, 281, 282, 283, respectively, so that the contents of the package are it can expel in a stream with form. With reference to Figures 21a-b and 22a-c, an alternative embodiment of the present invention will now be shown and described. According to this alternative embodiment, a unit formed by independent heat is used to create an outlet opening in a container. The unit formed by independent heat may have the form of an exit formation structure which is closed again 300. The structure which forms re-closing outlet 300 may generally comprise a cover 310, a ringer 320, a base 330, a separating outlet tip 340. The lid 310 can be connected to the base 330 via the halter 320. The spline 325 facilitates the separation of the lid 310 from the structure 300. The structure which forms re-sealable exit 300 a pre-applied adhesive or sealant may be applied in the area surrounding the base 330 to facilitate application of the structure 300 to a container, such as a milk container 302. As such, the structure 300 may be joined in a sealable or adhesive manner any surface of the container that requires the outlet treated here. In particular, the structure 300 may be sealed or adhered to the container in an area surrounding a hole in the container, but not in the area of the lid 310 or the tether 320 which must be free of the surface of the container. It will be understood that the reclosable outlet forming structure 300 may be attached to the containers, such as the milk carton 302, prior to filling. As such, the structure 302 can be applied to the container when it is still a planar preform. With reference to Figures 22a-d, the use of the re-closing output form structure 300 will now be shown and described. With reference to Figure 22a, prior to shipment of the container 302, the lid 310 can be placed on the base of the structure forming outlet 330 > before removing the separation tip 340 so as to ensure that the separation tip 340 is not accidentally broken and the content of the container 302 does not escape while the container 302 is in transit. With reference to Figure 23b, the lid 310 is removed from the base 330 to provide access to the exit tip 340. The container at this point is ready to open. With reference to Figure 23c, the separation tip 340 is removed to create an opening 350. The opening 350 leads to a hole (not shown) in the container 302 to allow the contents of the container 302 to be poured therethrough. With reference to Figure 23a, the reclosable outlet forming structure 300 can be resealed by simply placing the lid 310 on the base 330.

In one embodiment of the present invention, the base 330 and the tip 340 are cylindrical or substantially cylindrical, although it will be understood that other shapes may be used. In this embodiment, aperture 350 is made of Polyethylene Tetrafluoride - Polyvinyl Chloride - BAREX. However, it will be understood that other materials may be used in accordance with the present invention. As can be seen in Figure 22d, in the cylindrical outlet 330 and the opening 350 a nozzle directs the flow of the contents of the container 302 into a control stream. With reference to Figures 23-26, a separation tip and low profile separation cap according to another embodiment of the present invention is shown. In general, lowering the height of the separation tip 360 will lower the possibility that the tip 360 can be accidentally opened during transit or handling, by lowering the height of the separation tip it becomes more difficult, however, to grab and remove the separation tip. This difficulty is alleviated by creating undercuts or slits 370 in the side wall of the separation tip 360. These undercuts or slits 370 allow the user's finger to engage and separate the tip 360 in a single movement. Figure 25 is a perspective view of the low profile separation tip with the removed separation tip shown in dotted line. Continuing with reference to Figures 23-25, the undercuts or slits 370 are preferably arranged in opposite positions to facilitate use and manufacture. It will be understood that the number and location of the scour / slits 370 can be varied. As soon as the separation tip 360 of the base 380 is removed, a cover 394 can be used to re-close the opening (not shown) exposed by the removal of the tip 360 on the base 390. To the base grooves 392 of the base 380 is shaped and dimensioned to receive opposite inlet projections 396 from the lid 394. These projections 394 engage in the slits 392, thereby securing the cover 390 to the base 380. A halter (not shown) also it can be used to join the lid 390 to the base 380. As shown in Figures 23a and 24a, the base 390a can generally have a generally triangular cross-sectional area. This type of cross-sectional area can help to dose different materials. In addition, the relatively large bottom of the base 390a helps prevent the accidental rollover of a container. It will also be understood that this embodiment of the present invention can be used in a wide variety of applications, including dispensers for cremes, unit dose medications, salad dressings, cosmetics, dental products, condiments, sweets, syrups, granular products, and so on. It will be understood that this embodiment of the present invention can be fabricated using a male punch member together with a female self-centering anvil system and turned back, as previously shown and described. Although the use of a halter limits the rotation of a depressed cover on a base formation, a turn lock arrangement or rotation thread can also be used to secure the cover to the base. With reference to Figure 28, such an embodiment of the present invention is shown using a turn lock arrangement or turning thread 400 to secure the cover 410 to the base formation 420. In this arrangement, the cover 410 has a internal projection 415 which engages the cam surface 430 of the base 420. After the rotation of the cover 410 with respect to the base 420, the internal projection 415 engages with the cam surface 430 to create a closing arrangement by rotating or screw turning. It will be understood that a halter (not shown) may also be used in an array of these. The base 420 may also have a separation tip 425 attached thereto. As an alternative to the separation tip and lid arrangement tied with halter, the present invention also includes a grooved surface arrangement and a stopper / punch with halter as shown in Figures 28a-c, 29a-d and 30a-d. Figures 28a and 28b are perspective views of this embodiment of the present invention in which a stopper with halter is used to open and close a previously scored surface. In this arrangement 450, a plug 460 is used to open a pre-scored surface 470 of the outlet 480. In this embodiment, the flute is in the form of an interrupted circle, although it will be understood that other types of fluted surfaces can also be used as those shown in Figures 29a-d. Figures 28b and 28c depict a flange 485 that is created when the plug 460 is used to penetrate the knurled surface 470. A halter 490 may also be created through the use of a flute 495 in the array 450. The plug 460, the which can be connected to the arrangement 450 via this halter 490, can also be used as a cork to close the exit hole. As such, plug 460 can be used both as a stopper and as an opening tool to create and / or plug an opening in the previously scored surface. In this embodiment, plug 460 has a conical shape, although it will be understood that other shapes may be used. Similarly, as shown in Figures 28a and 29a-d, the groove may have a partially circular shape, a V shape, an X shape, a star shape, or a square shape, although other patterns will be understood They can also be used. Depending on the shape of the fluted surface, the flange created by the penetration of plug 460 will differ. For example, the penetration of the grooved surface in V shape 490 will create a flange 491; the penetration of the grooved surface in the form of X 492 will create a flange 493; the penetration of a star-shaped grooved surface 494 will create a flange 495; and the penetration of a knurled surface 496 will create a rectangular shaped flange 497. An alternative embodiment of the present invention will now be discussed with reference to Figures 31-36. According to this alternative embodiment, a container 500 is provided with a re-sealable exit structure 510. More specifically, the previous exit structure 510 comprises a curvilinear dome or mound 530 and a dual purpose punch / plug 520. As will be apparent to a technician experienced in the field, the container 500 includes a hole, not shown, on which the mound 530 is secured. Because the punch / cap 520 must be raised and inverted for insertion into the fluted area 532, should not be sealed in container 500. As best seen in Figure 34, the outlet forming structure 510 comprises a layer of metallic foil 534 laminated in the plastic forming the structure forming the outlet 510. of the metal sheet 534 below the mound 530 should be supported only by the adhesive used to secure it to the mound 530. It should also be noted that the metal sheet 534 is container 500, around the hole in the container 500, so that the contents do not spill below the structure that forms outlet 510. The adhesive that laminates the metal sheet should be one that gives adequate adhesion but that dries with minimum tensile strength by itself. In alternative embodiments, the adhesive may be frail. Mound 530 further includes a fault line pattern or fluted pattern 532. Fault lines 532 may take any number of design patterns, such as those shown in Figures 29a-d. As shown in Figures 35 and 36, the sheet 534 is laminated on the entire surface of the mound 530 and preferably, is not scored. In an alternative embodiment, the adhesive of the fault line pattern 532 may be omitted. The punch / cap 520 is secured to the output forming structure 510 via a halter 524. The halter 524 is created by a cut 522 through the laminate sheet metal / plastic. As best seen in Figure 32, the cut 522 preferably takes a curvilinear path, following the periphery of the output forming structure 510. This cut 522 provides an elongated tether 524. In operation, the punch / plug 520 is pushed firmly in the pattern of the fault line 532 to break the ridged mound 530. This operation is best shown in the Figure 35. Having forced the punch / plug 520 through the knurled area 532 of the mound 530, an opening is formed for dosing the contents of the container 500. The punch / plug 520 is removed from the mound 530 so that the contents can be dosed. of the container 500. Because the fluted area 532 has been deformed to the shape of the punch / cap 520, the punch / cap 520 can be reinserted into the fluted area 532, thereby sealing the container 500. In an alternative embodiment, without However, the metal sheet layer 534 can extend the hollow base of the mound 530 by laminating only to the periphery of the mound. Of course, in such a mode, the punch / plug 520 should be long enough to extend past the plane of the metal sheet 534 so that the metal sheet 534 can be punctured. Swinging the punch / plug 520 while inserting in the mound 530, the opening in the metal sheet is enlarged. It should be noted that mound 530 strengthens the structure forming exit 510. In addition, the shape of mound 530 provides a nozzle function, directing the contents of container 500 in an even stream. Depending on the contents of the container 500, the dimensions and shape of the mound 530 can be altered to provide the desired flow. The outlet forming structure 510 of Figures 31-36 is preferably manufactured with a punch similar to that described with reference to Figure 12b. Of course, the tip of the punch does not need to be spherical, but it can also be elliptical, parabolic, or of any curvilinear shape. Furthermore, it is preferred that the metal foil and the plastic be laminated to a single membrane before the mound is formed by the punch. Thus, the dimensions of the mound, as defined by the shape of the punch tip, will be limited only by the physical properties of the materials used. In an alternative embodiment, which will now be described with reference to Figures 37-38, a reclosable exit forming structure 610 according to the present invention is used with a flexible plastic sheet-metal bag 600. In general, the sheet metal bag 600 is formed by folding a generally rectangular piece of the plastic metal sheet combination in half and sealing the three open edges thereof. A reclosable outlet forming structure 610 is mounted on the seamless end 605 of the bag 600. The outlet forming structure 610, which is sealed to the seamless end of the bag 600 by applying an adhesive around a periphery of the base 612, covers a hole, not shown, in the bag 600. The structure forming the outlet 610 can be of any type previously described above, such as that described with reference to Figures 1-3, 8-9, 13 , and 13a. In a preferred embodiment, as shown in Figures 37 and 38, the outlet forming structure 610 includes a projection that forms opening 630. More specifically, the projection forming opening 630 includes a hollow cylindrical base 632 and a separation tip 634 A fault line 636 extends around the periphery of the projecting structure 630, allowing the separation tips 634 to be separated from the base 632 at the point 634. More specifically, the fault line 636 is a narrowed area, of concentration of tension. The outlet forming structure 610 also includes a cover 620. The cover 620 is a hollow conical member, which has an inner base diameter slightly larger than the outer diameter of the base 632 of the projecting structure 630. the cover 620 the structure that forms outlet 610 is secured via a halter 624. The halter 624 is formed by a cut 622 through the lower surface 612 of the structure forming outlet 610. As can best be seen in Figure 39, the curvilinear cut 622 separates the cover 620 from the projecting structure 630 and follows the periphery of the base 612. Having such a pattern, the cut 622 is relatively long and, consequently, produces a relatively long halter 624. Due to the long halter 624 and the fact that the base portion 612 that supports the cover 620 is not attached to the bag 600, the lid 620 can be lifted and placed securely on the exit forming structure 630. In operation, a user applies lateral pressure of the finger to the protrusion tip 634, thereby causing it to break from the protrusion base 632 along a protrusion. fault line 636. Because the projecting structure 630 is substantially hollow, an opening is created, not shown. Further, because the projection member 630 has been attached to the bag 600 over a hole in the bag, not shown, the contents of the bag 600 can be dosed via the now open projection neck 632. The cover 620 is placed on base 632 during shipping, so as to prevent accidental breakage of fault line 636. In addition, cover 620 is placed on base 632 to reseal packing 600 when only a portion of packing content 600 It has been dosed. In an alternative embodiment, shown in Figure 39, the same structure forming outlet 610 is secured to the side of the bag 640. In this embodiment, the bag 640 is formed from two generally rectangular or laminated sheet metal and plastic sheets. They are sealed together around the four sides of each leaf. As with the previous embodiment, the protrusion structure 630 is attached to the pouch 640 over a hole, not shown, so that the protrusion neck 632 is in fluid communication with the contents of the pouch 640. An alternative embodiment of the present invention employing an outlet forming structure 610a disposed in a foil bag 640a will now be described with reference to Figures 37a, 38a, and 39a. Briefly described, the structure forming outlet 610a is substantially the same as the structure forming the outlet described with reference to Figures 37-39. Specifically, the structure forming outlet 610a includes both a cover 620a and a projection member 630a. As best seen in Figure 39a, the sheet metal bag 640a includes an overlap seam on the opposite side of the outlet forming structure 610a. An alternative embodiment of the present invention will now be described with reference to Figure 40. A punch / plug member tied with halter and base with a star-shaped failure pattern manufactured as a unit 700 is shown. A halter 730 connects to the base 710 at a proximal end thereof, a ring structure 740 connected to a distal end thereof, and a conical punch / plug 760. The punch / plug 760 is manufactured separately from the other components. As shown, the ring structure 740 defines an opening 750. The opening 750 is so large that the tip 762 of the punch / cap 760 is still smaller than the base 764 of the punch / cap 760. In addition, the punch / cap 760 includes a circumferential groove 766. The groove 766 is formed on the punch / plug 760 just below a point where the outer diameter of the punch / plug 760 becomes larger than the inside diameter of the opening 750.

Therefore, as soon as the components are manufactured separately, the punch / plug 760 is latched in the opening 750. When it is ignited in the opening 750, the conical punch / plug 760 causes the slightly elastic ring structure 740 to expand until the ring structure 740 reaches the slit 766. After reaching the slit 766, the ring structure 740 is turned on in the slit 766. Accordingly, the punch / plug 760 is connected to the ring structure 740 and the other components. In use, as shown in Figure 40a, the punch / plug 760 is used to pierce the knurled section 722 of the boss structure 720. This operation is described in more detail with reference to Figures 28-30d. Turning now to Figure 41, there is shown an embodiment for manufacturing a reclosable exit structure according to the present invention. Specifically, a pair of structures forming reclosable outlets 870 and 880 is formed from the same piece of thermoplastic membrane F. Each reclosable outlet forming structure 870, 880 comprises a protruding structure 872 , 882 as well as a lid 874, 884, respectively. As in the previously described embodiments, each cover 874, 884 is connected to the corresponding protruding structure 870, 880 via a halter 876, 886. It will be understood that the mating, the horseshoe-shaped arrangement of the structures forming outlet 870, 880 provides several benefits, such as reclining the remaining portions of the membrane F, and that the manufacturing agreement can be repeated along the length of the membrane F. Turning now to Figures 42-44, an alternative embodiment of the membrane is shown. the present invention. Initially, it should be noted that the container 1000 shown is made of materials similar to those described above with reference to Figure 1-3. The container 1000 comprises a first deformable bag 1010 and a second deformable bag 1020. The two deformable bags 1010, 1020 are joined by a shallow duct 1030. The deformable bags 1010, 1020, as well as the shallow duct 1030, are sealed by a generally flat sheet 1040 of thermoformable plastic material. A hollow protrusion 1050 is formed integrally with the thermoformable plastic flat sheet 1040. The hollow protrusion 1050 extends from the flat sheet 1040. The protrusion 1050 is directly above and in fluid communication with the conduit 1030. The container 1000 further includes a punch / lid 1060. As best seen in Figure 43, the hollow projection 1050 has grooves or fault lines 1055 on top of it. In spite of these fault lines 1055, which weaken the projection 1050, the container 1000 follows G S sealed. Furthermore it is shown in Figure 46 that the punch / lid 1060 is partially separated from the rest of the container 1000 by the cut 1062. The cut 1062 running parallel to a peripheral edge of the container 1000 creates a halter 1064. In order to open the container 1000, the punch / lid 1060 is placed on the projection 1050. The punch / lid 1060, and more specifically the pointed end 1066 of the punch / lid 1060 is forced through the grooves or fault lines 1055, thereby opening the hollow projection 1050. When the punch / lid 1060 is removed from the hollow projection 1050, there is an opening, not shown. The opening is formed by the permanent deformation of the portion of the member of the projection 1050 between the fault lines 1055. By inverting the container 1000 and gently squeezing one or both of the bags 1010, 1020 the material contained within the bags is dosed via the opening in the projection 1050. It should be noted that in the preferred embodiment the projection 1050 is placed directly above the conduit 1030. As a result, the contents of the bags 1010, 1020 can be dosed in a controlled manner. Specifically, the shallow conduit 1030 provides resistance to the fluid content so that the contents do not drip from the open projection 1050 uncontrollably, particularly when the projection 1050 is initially drilled. As shown in Figure 44, if less than all the material contained within the bag 1010, 1020 is dosed, the container 1000 can be reclosed. Specifically, the punch / cap 1060 is reversed by twisting the halter 1064. Because the punch / cap 1060 is hollow, having an internal diameter substantially equal to or slightly greater than the outer diameter of the projection 1050, the punch / cap 1060 can be Place securely on the projection 1050. With respect to the embodiment of Figures 42-44, it will be apparent to one skilled in the art that the invention is not limited by the type of output forming structure used. Specifically, any combination of separation tip, fluted projection member, punch, cap, and cap can be used. Furthermore, it should be understood that the particular shape of the bags may vary according to the properties of the content stored therein. An alternative embodiment of the present invention will now be described with reference to Figures 45-47. As shown in Figure 45, an outlet forming structure 1070 comprises a cap member 1072 and a projection forming aperture 1074. As with the embodiments discussed above, the cap member 1072 is connected to the aperture forming structure 1074 by a halter 1076. As can be seen, both the cover member 1072 and the opening forming structure 1074 are formed in a curvilinear base 1078. Because the outlet forming structure 1070 is formed in a curvilinear base 1078, it can be placed in a container 1080 having a similar curvilinear surface. As shown in Figures 46a-c, such a container 1080 is generally spherical and is formed in two halves 1082, 1084. The two halves 1082, 1084 are joined at a point along their circumferences, and therefore are they connect in an articulable way. The half 1084 of the container 1080 includes an opening 1086 formed therein. In operation, as shown in Figure 47, the output forming structure 1070 is fixed to the container 1080 such that the opening forming structure 1074 is in alignment with the opening 1086 in the container 1080. As further depicted in FIG. Figure 47, the lid member 1072, shown in a sectional view, can be placed on the structure forming opening 1074, thereby protecting and sealing the container 1080. It will be understood that the shape of the container 1080 is only representative of those that they can be employed with the present invention, as the structure forming the outlet can be formed on a curvilinear base having virtually any shape. Another alternative embodiment of the present invention will now be described with reference to Figures 48-51. The container 1090 generally comprises a rectangular sheet 1091 of thermoformable material. At the center of the rectangular sheet 1091 is an opening-forming structure 1092, which has a base and a separation tip as described above with reference to the above embodiments. On each side of the opening forming structure 1092 there are bags 1098 formed on the underside of the sheet 1091 to hold any fluid substance. The bags 1098 are in fluid communication with the opening-forming structure 1092. Also formed in the rectangular sheet 1091 of the thermoformable material is a lid member 1094. The lid member 1094 is preferably formed in a corner of the rectangular sheet 1091 and it is attached to the container 1090 via a halter 1096. The halter 1096 is formed by a cut 1097 that extends along the perimeter of the container 1090. The container 1090 can be generally folded in half along the fold slots 2006 arranged on each side of the structure forming aperture 1092. Specifically, the ends of the container 1090 are joined together as represented by the arrows "A" in Figure 49. As soon as the ends are joined together, a female packing tie 2000 and a male packing tie 2002, both integrally formed in the sheet of thermoformable material 1091, they are hooked together. The engagement of the female packing fastener 2000 and the male packing fastening 2002 maintain the container 1090 in the configuration as shown in Figures 50 and 51. In operation, the lateral pressure of the finger at the tip of the structure forming an opening 1092 causes a fault line to break, thereby forming an opening in the structure forming that opening 1092, thereby preventing accidental breakage of the fault line or accidental dosing of the contents after the tip of the structure 1092 aperture form has been removed. Another alternative embodiment of the present invention will now be described with reference to Figures 52-54. As shown in Figure 52, a structure forming aperture 2016 according to the present invention can be placed in a treated carbon pipe 2012, thereby forming a sealed container 2010. The structure forming aperture 2016 comprises a generally hollow portion truncated cone 2018, a hollow cylindrical portion 2019, and a separation tip 2020. Integrally formed with the aperture-forming structure 2016 is a cap member 2022 and an associated halter 2024. As best seen in Figure 54, the halter 2024 is formed by a curvilinear cut which allows the cap member 2022 to partially separate from the aperture-forming structure 2016 so that the cap member 2022 can be placed over the cylindrical portion 2019 and the separation tip 2020. Due Because the cap member 2022 has an inside diameter slightly larger than the outside diameter of the cylindrical portion 2019, the cap member fits perfectly. in the same, sealing by this the container 2010. As with the previously described embodiments, in operation, the lateral pressure of the separation tip 2020 causes it to separate from the rest of the structure forming opening 2016, thereby forming an opening towards the structure that forms a generally hollow opening 2016. Thus, the contents of the container 2010 can be dosed from it. It will be understood by those skilled in the art that the present invention in its broader aspects is not limited to the particular embodiments shown and described herein, and that variations may be made without departing from the principles of the invention and without sacrificing its main features. advantage .
