Definitions

  • the invention disclosed broadly relates to dispenser packages and more particularl y relates to easy opening, self-containing, easy to use, single or multiple use dispenser
  • dispenser packages in which a product may be packaged in the quantity normally required for single or multiple uses, and from which the contained product may be dispensed.
  • One type of such dispenser packages is a pillow pouch or sachet, typically made of relatively thin plastics and foils or combinations of laminated plastics and foils. These packages are most frequently encountered as containers for catsup, mustard, other condiments, homecare preparations such as hair conditioners, dyes and cremes, etc.
  • the laminated foil and/or plastic material not only often tears in an uncontrolled fashion, but the holding pressure exerted by one of the user's hands often forces the contents out of the envelope not only before the user is ready to apply the contents, but even before the tearing motion is complete. Opening these packages leads to frayed tempers, broken fingernails, and chipped teeth, as well as other problems. The user must also use both hands to open the container. In the case of invalids, arthritis sufferers and other handicapped people, opening these packages is virtually impossible. Yet another problem associated with these prior packages is the impossibility of efficient reclosure, thereby precluding multiple use of the package, with consequent waste of the unused contents.
  • Another dispenser package is the peel-top cup used for butter, margarine, syrup, sauces, salad dressing, and other similar products.
  • This type of package requires good eyesight and manual dexterity.
  • Such packages are often used as coffee creamers and have many disadvantages, including difficulty in peeling off the top in order to open, as well as difficulty in pouring, accidental spilling, and the inability to be reclosed so as to preclude more than a single use.
  • the inventions described herein can be adhered or integrally formed into these packages to make them easy opening and reclosable.
  • Small, very expensive, metal capped bottles are used for alcoholic drinks and are either poured or consumed directly from the bottle.
  • the instant invention makes available a sealed and tamper evident outlet with a hinged cap, in a flap formed in a single, small plastic unit which can be readily sealed or adhesively attached to the gable over a small pre-made hole. It is ultra low cost and may be made of polypropylene, high-density polyethylene, PVC. Polyester etc. utilizing material costing small fractions of a cent. Another disadvantage currently experienced with dispensing packages is the closing of the outlet opening. Closing the outlet opening of tubes is presently accomplished by means of an injection molded screw-on cap, which normally includes a compressible gasketing material. The end of the tube requires a mating thread to match the cap. Both the separately molded gasketed cap and the threaded tube result in increased manufacturing costs.
  • the cap as often as not, is dropped and/or lost while it is being threaded on or off. Furthermore, there has been a growing trend to manufacture such tubes at still greater cost by providing injection molded hinged caps with a flat end surface which permits the tube to stand upright. Thus, the cap members currently in use have the disadvantage that they tend to increase the overall cost of manufacture of the dispensing package.
  • the tubes of this invention without the necessity of assembly inflates molded parts cost 1/3 that of the above mentioned tubes SUMMARY:
  • This invention relates to easy opening, self-contained, easy to use, single or multiple use dispenser packages capable of economical, high-speed production, manufactured from a broad range of materials, many of which are recyclable. They may contain such products as syrups, cream, cheeses, salad dressings, shampoo, hand-cream, liquid detergents, motor oil, toothpaste pates, pet food and many other products. It additionally relates to a package which has the capability of dispensing the contained product, e.g., mouthwash, cough syrup, confections, alcoholic beverages, etc., directly into the mouth of the user, and which also includes a new and unique way of accomplishing the creation of an outlet hole or aperture in a sealed dispenser package wall made of plastic film or other material capable of accepting the system.
  • a sealed dispenser package wall made of plastic film or other material capable of accepting the system.
  • the easy opening feature and creation of the outlet hole or aperture may be formed independently and sealed or adhered to the surface of many packages such as bags, milk containers, pouches, pillow packages (sachets), etc. to make for very efficient low cost dispensing packages or squeeze bags.
  • These squeeze bag type packages could dispense food pastes such as pet food, cremes, grease, yogurt, certain types of dough, cake frosting and could be made of everything from treated, coated paperboard plastic films, foils, laminates or coextrusions of these materials.
  • the easy opening means of this application in its preferred embodiment is comprised of a [In each case of this disclosure a] sheet or wall of material or laminates or other combinations of materials including plastics, foil, paper etc.
  • This entire system, made of thermo-formed plastic was either integrally formed into the wall of a container or sealingly attached to a container over a hole in said container wall.
  • the cap is hinged up and away from the lower formation it encloses revealing the breakaway tip which may be next broken off by sidewise finger pressure to create an aperture. The loose tip of course, must then be disposed of.
  • One preferred embodiment includes an improved similar structure generally made of thermo formed plastic but not excluding plastic or laminates formed by other means or other formed materials.
  • This improved unit does not require the breakaway tip be broken away manually or disposed of but instead embodies a system wherein the breakaway tip, preferably reduced in height, has its uppermost surface sealingly attached to the upper inner surface of the cap member. It may then be seen that the breakaway tip is automatically broken away from the lower formation at the fault line intersection of the tip and the upper surface of the lower formation when the cap is hinged up and away from its seat about said lower formation. It may further be seen that the breakaway tip remains sealed to the inside of the hinged cap and requires no disposal which hinged cap may be used normally to recap or open the aperture for dispensing or pouring out the contained product.
  • the cap member is not necessary and the surface that is attached to the tip will simply be the unformed surface of the film extending above the locus of the aperture before the flap is folded over. Should cases arise where a cap is necessary it can readily incorporated in the package.
  • the breakaway tip should require a firm pull to break it away with an audible sound or snap to insure the user that it was not previously tampered with. Break resistance is fully adjustable during manufacture. It can also be seen that the unit may be made of clear plastic so that the tip may be seen before it has been broken away to show any evidence of tampering.
  • At least one additional tacking point may be made between the flap containing the cap and the flat plastic around the lower breakaway tip protrusion to create a tamper evidence. These points can be highlighted by making a partial circular cut or a complete score about it with a tiny uncut tab portion. Thus if the flap is even raised partially it will tear out the sealed tiny tab and leave a hole in the flap.
  • the breakaway tip formed in the upper surface of the lower drum shaped formation is replaced with a preformed outlet hole at the center of the surface drum surrounded by a generally flat rim to which is applied a peelable adhesive preferably heat sealable although cold seal or pressure sensitive or other variety may be used or preferred in certain circumstances.
  • the hinged cap member formerly sealed to the breakaway tip may also be peelably adhered to the rim surrounding the outlet hole to effectively seal off the outlet. When the hinged cap is pulled up, it peels away from the drum formation by rupturing the adhesive and effectively opens the outlet hole.
  • This entire system made of thermo-formed plastic, can be either integrally formed into the wall of the container such as a tube or sealingly attached to a container over a hole in said container wall as in a gable top carton. It may also be seen that the inner surface of the cap, which covers the lower drum, may have said adhesive applied to it rather than the rims around the hole. It may be desirable to have said adhesive applied to the flat upper rim surface of the drum as well as the inner mating surface of the cap. It may be seen that if the adhesive was applied to the walls of the drum it would be very difficult to rupture by hand. It must be realized that since there is no longer a tip protrusion, the inner surface of the cap should be so dimensioned as to bring the adhesive into contact with the upper surface of the drum.
  • a breakaway tip member of thermoformed plastic is made integral with the pouch or similar style package and is made part of a flap member which in its preferred embodiment if folded over after pouch has been filled with product and sealed and the upper surface of the breakaway tip is then sealed to its same surface which opposes it when the flap is folded over.
  • one wall of the sealed, product-containing pouch has an outlet hole in it at the upper corner just inside the comer edge seals of the pouch. This portion of the pouch is then folded over to create a flap and the area surrounding the hole is peelably sealed and attached to the opposing portion of the same surface it faces by means of suitable pre-applied adhesive means of types similar to those used in peel top cups etc. Since the hole is sealed about its periphery to the surface of the pouch wall it opposes it is effectively no longer an outlet. The pouch however may be instantly opened by raising the flap which peels away from the outlet hole permitting the product to be dispensed.
  • the viscosity of products put in these pouches may vary greatly for example cheese spreads etc. have a relatively high viscosity and normally have to be squeezed out of the pouch whereas products like alcoholic beverages soy sauce have very low viscosity and might spill or squirt out uncontrollably.
  • This may be somewhat controlled by reducing the size of the outlet hole or holes but there is another means which has the remarkable ability to valve the rate of flow to where there will actually be no flow even after the flap is lifted and the outlet aperture open and exposed. That is accomplished by creating a narrowed channel for the product to flow through to get to the outlet hole.
  • fault line score patterns which allow for parts of the wall to be torn out by sealing the flap to them may be made to function.
  • Such fault line scores may be created by laser cuts and may be made in increments of less than a thousandth of an inch deep in thin films. It should be realized that these packages are all at least as tamper evident as peel top cups and coffee creamers and in fact with certain combinations of cold seal adhesives, where the seal material about the hole mates with another seal material in a matching position on the wall to which it is to be sealed, the two combine to create adhesion. When opened however one of the sealants is stripped from the surface its on and the flap cannot be resealed even with applied heat.

They may be made of a single sheet (sometimes reinforced in some areas) but pouches are also sometimes made of single sheets of film with a fin seal at both ends and a single longitudinal seal.

Abstract

La présente invention concerne une structure, qui forme un sac distributeur et son orifice verseur, et qui est constituée d'une paroi d'emballage (20) et d'un rabat (30). Le rabat (30), qui se replie en n'importe quel point de l'emballage (10), vient adhérer en n'importe quel point de la paroi de l'emballage (20). Le rabat (30) se replie de façon que sa surface vienne adhérer à la surface de la paroi de l'emballage (20) en une surface continue. Lorsque l'utilisateur exerce une force de traction supérieure à la force d'adhésion entre la paroi de l'emballage (20) et le rabat (30), ce dernier se décroche de la paroi de l'emballage (20), ce qui provoque la rupture d'un lieu géométrique, d'une ligne de faiblesse, ou d'une prédécoupe (40). Cette rupture d'un lieu géométrique, d'une ligne de faiblesse, ou d'une prédécoupe (40) provoque la rupture de l'orifice d'ouverture (50) formant ainsi le verseur en un emplacement défini pour permettre au produit liquide contenu de couler de l'emballage (10).
