Definitions
- the invention relates to flexible stand-up pouches can more particularly to the fitments for straws and drinking spouts.
- the stand-up pouches may be constructed out of a wide range of food grade materials including plastics, foils and laminations or plastic and foils.
- the fitments and straws re constructed of flexible food grade plastic materials.
- the pouch shapes vary but they are all sealed on three of the four sides. In all cases the fitment /straw is inserted in the opening at the top of the pouch. The fitment and top side are then sealed together to make a liquid tight enclosure.
- the external straw is punctures through the side of the pouch creating messy and sometimes unsafe conditions.
- the pouches containing fitments eliminate the straw problems, however made it necessary to tilt or squeeze the pouch to drink the contents.
- the integral fitment containing the internal straw has the benefits of the drinking straw and the sanitary trouble free benefits of the fitment.
- the top or drinking port of the fitment may be fabricated in many different ways including: re-sealable snap off caps, non resealable snap off caps, twist to open and close caps, screw on and off caps, and clasp-end closures.
- Figure 1 shows an example of a flexible stand-up pouch containing an internal straw and an integral fitment.
- Figure 2 shows a side view of the fitment, cap, straw and the tabs for holding the straw in place.
- FIG. 1 shows an example of a flexible stand-up pouch 20 containing an internal straw 7 and an integral fitment 6.
- the flexible stand-up pouch 20 has vertical walls 2, a base 5, sealed sides 3 and 4, and a top end with a sealing portion 1 , containing a fitment 6.
- the fitment 6 has an internal straw 7 and a screw cap 8.
- the fitment 6 also has seal wall 30 for a sealing engagement with the sealing portion 1 on the top of the pouch.
- Figure 2 shows the details of the fitment 6 with a screw cap 8 which screws unto the fitment 6.
- the screw cap 8 also has a tamper evident ring 9 that disassociates from the screw cap 8 along perforations 19 so that it is evident if the cap 8 has been tampered with.
- the straw 7 is a free moving straw which can be moved up and down in the fitment 6.
- the straw is initially held in place by tabs 10 from the walls of the cap 8 engaging the straw 10.
- the fitment 6 has a base portion 16 with the sealing portion 1 on the side and a neck portion 18 on the top.
- the neck portion 18 may have threads 11 for engagement with threads 12 on a cap 8.
- the cap 8 may be of any design and may have ears 15 for grasping and turning the cap.
- the caps may be resealable snap-off caps, non resealable snap off caps, twist to open caps, screw on and off caps, clasp end caps or any other style.
- the cap 8 has a concave portion for covering the top of straw 7 and is removed from straw 7 to allow the user access to the straw.
- the stand-up pouch 20 with integral fitment and internal straw is made by producing the pouch and then sealing the fitment 6 into the top of the pouch by tack sealing and then fully sealing the fitment into a filled pouch.
- the top seal 1 of the pouch is sealed along the seal wall 30 of fitment 6 with the fitment 6 in place.
- the fitment 6 is preferably elongated to help seal the pouch. A more elongated or tapered fitment results in a less wrinkled material on the pouch, resulting in a better seal and a better looking the seal on the fitment.
- Pouch fitment neck 25 has wall 26 for slidabley engaging straw 7. The straw 7 may therefore be adjusted for position relative the pouch 20.
- a user will twist off the cap 8 by use of ears 15 which separates the tamper evident ring 9 along perforations 19 showing the product has been opened. Removing the cap 8 allows access to the straw 10 which may be adjusted to the desired height relative the pouch by sliding the straw 7 in or out of the pouch fitment 6.
- the threads 12 on the cap 8 may be rethreaded onto the threads 11 on fitment 6 to reseal the stand-up pouch and preserve the contents for later use.
