Abstract
This invention is directed to an improved collapsible bag (10) having a spout (12) and one or more grooves (14) on the interior surface of a wall of the bag (10). The grooves (14), which are integral to a wall of the bag (10) rather than on a separate evacuation strip, are in liquid communication with the spout (12) and are sized such that the opposing wall of the bag (10) is not completely forced into the grooves (14) under the suction of conventional pumps which are used to withdraw the liquid from the bag (10). Thus, the grooves enable substantially complete withdrawal of the liquid from the bag (10) without the use of an evacuation strip. Additionally, the present invention may be used in any orientation and does not require a slanted rack.
Description
- This application claims priority from U.S. Provisional Application Serial No. 60/196,838 filed on Apr. 13, 2000.
- 1. Field of the Invention
- This invention relates generally to an apparatus for containing and dispensing liquid. More specifically, this invention is directed to a collapsible container for use in a bag-in-box apparatus.
- 2. Description of the Related Art
- In the field of post-mix beverage systems, an apparatus commonly known as a bag-in-box package is used to store and dispense beverages such as soft drinks. Typically, such bag-in-box packages comprise a collapsible bag or bladder disposed within a cardboard box. The bag has a spout for filling the bag with liquid, and the spout protrudes through a wall of the box for dispensing the liquid from the bag, usually by connection to a pump. One of the problems associated with such bag-in-box packages is that the bag collapses upon itself as the liquid is withdrawn, which tends to create pockets of liquid that are isolated from the spout and cannot be withdrawn from the bag. Thus, the residual portion of liquid remaining in the bag is wasted.
- One possible solution to the foregoing problem is to place an evacuation strip inside the bag as shown, for example, in U.S. Pat. No. 5,749,493 to Boone et al. The bag of the '493 patent contains an elongated, narrow, flexible evacuation strip comprising a plurality of upstanding ribs. The evacuation strip is attached to the inner surface of one of the bag walls. A spout is disposed through a wall of the bag, and the evacuation strip is in liquid communication with the spout. As the bag collapses upon withdrawal of the liquid through the spout, the ribs of the evacuation strip prevent the walls of the bag from isolating pockets of liquid from the spout. The evacuation strip thus enables substantially complete withdrawal of the liquid from the bag. However, the evacuation strip adds an extra complication to the bag manufacturing process.
- Another possible attempt to solve the problem of incomplete withdrawal of the liquid from such bag-in-box packages is to place the packages on slanted racks. By orienting the package such that the spout is at the lowest possible point, gravity will assist in forcing the liquid toward the spout. However, the need for a special slanted rack is a disadvantage to such an arrangement. Another disadvantage is the required orientation of the spout in a particular position, namely, at the lowest possible point.
- In light of the foregoing disadvantages, it would be a significant advancement in the art of liquid dispensing to provide a collapsible container for use in a bag-in-box package that would enable substantially complete withdrawal of the liquid from the container without the use of an evacuation strip or slanted rack.
- Accordingly, this invention is directed to an improved collapsible bag having a spout and one or more grooves on the interior surface of a wall of the bag. The grooves, which are integral to a wall of the bag rather than on a separate evacuation strip, are in liquid communication with the spout and are sized such that the opposing wall of the bag is not completely forced into the grooves under the suction of conventional pumps which are used to withdraw the liquid from the bag. Thus, the grooves enable substantially complete withdrawal of the liquid from the bag without the use of an evacuation strip. Additionally, the present invention may be used in any orientation and does not require a slanted rack. Although the primary intended application of the present invention is in bag-in-box packages for containing and dispensing beverages, this invention may also be used to advantage in other liquid dispensing applications.
- This invention may best be understood by reference to the following drawings:
- FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a collapsible bag in accordance with the present invention disposed within a box.
- FIG. 2 is a cut-away top view illustrating the interior of the bottom wall of the collapsible bag of FIG. 1.
- FIG. 3 is a cut-away top view illustrating the interior of the bottom wall of an alternative embodiment of a collapsible bag in accordance with the present invention.
- FIG. 4 is a sectional view taken along line4-4 of FIG. 2 or FIG. 3.
- FIG. 5 is a cut-away top view illustrating the interior of the bottom. wall of another alternative embodiment of a collapsible bag in accordance with the present invention.
- FIG. 6 is a top view of the collapsible bag of FIG. 1.
- FIG. 7 is a top view of the collapsible bag of FIG. 5.
- Referring to FIG. 1, a preferred embodiment of this invention comprises a
collapsible bag 10 having aspout 12 and a plurality ofgrooves 14 on the interior of the bottom wall ofbag 10.Bag 10, which is useful for containing and dispensing a liquid such as a beverage (not shown), is adaptable for insertion into abox 20 to form a bag-in-box apparatus. Spout 12 protrudes through a flap opening 22 ofbox 20. FIG. 2 more clearly illustrates the interior of the bottom wall ofbag 10 withgrooves 14, which are in liquid communication withspout 12. As liquid is dispensed fromspout 12,bag 10 gradually collapses. However,grooves 14 prevent the walls ofbag 10 from sealing off the liquid fromspout 12, which enables substantially complete evacuation of the liquid frombag 10.Collapsible bag 10 may be made of a pair of sheets of flexible material, such as a thermoplastic, polynylon, metallized plastic, or other suitable material, joined at the peripheries by means known in the art, such as heat sealing or a suitable adhesive. The flexible sheets form the walls of thebag 10.Spout 12 may be attached to a wall ofbag 10 by similar means.Grooves 14 may be formed in a bag wall by a variety of manufacturing techniques, such as extrusion, molding, machining, stamping, or pressing. Although FIGS. 1 and 2 show grooves 14 in the bottom bag wall, alternativelygrooves 14 may be formed in the upper bag wall. Additionally, although FIGS. 1 and 2show spout 12 andgrooves 14 disposed on the same bag wall,spout 12 andgrooves 14 may be on opposite bag walls so long asgrooves 14 are in liquid communication withspout 12 asbag 10 collapses. For the sake of clarity, FIG. 1 does not showstiffener 16 as illustrated in FIG. 6 and discussed below. - FIG. 3 illustrates an
alternative bag 110 having a grid-like pattern ofgrooves 114 on the interior of the bottom wall ofbag 110.Grooves 114 are in liquid communication withspout 12 to allow substantially complete withdrawal of the liquid frombag 110. FIG. 4 illustrates the cross-sectional view taken at line 4-4 of either FIG. 2 or FIG. 3.Grooves 114 may be in a variety of different patterns other than the pattern shown in FIG. 3. For example, achevron groove pattern 214 feeding into acollection zone 216 in the vicinity ofspout 12 is shown onbag 210 in FIG. 5. Again, although FIGS. 3 and 5show grooves grooves spout 12 andgrooves grooves spout 12 asbag - As shown in FIG. 6, the top of
bag 10 may be provided with astiffener 16 to help guard against the complete collapse of the bag upon itself and the consequent trapping of residual liquid inside the bag. Asbag 10 collapses upon withdrawal of the liquid,stiffener 16 will overlie at least onegroove 14. The stiffness ofstiffener 16 prevents it from being sucked intogroove 14 and blocking the liquid fromspout 12. FIG. 7 illustrates asimilar stiffener 218 onbag 210. - Although the foregoing specific details describe a preferred embodiment of this invention, persons reasonably skilled in the art of liquid dispensing will recognize that various changes may be made in the details of the apparatus of this invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as defined in the appended claims. Therefore, it should be understood that this invention is not to be limited to the specific details shown and described herein.
