- containers comprising an outer shelf having a neck portion defining a first access opening and a flexible inner bag having a neck finish defining second access opening
- Such containers are generally known as bag- ⁇ n-box containers
- valve assemblies that can be actuated by dispensing means provided in the home appliance systems
- valve assemblies are expensive and consist of several parts of different materials, rendering the valve assembly difficult to recycle
- the home appliance systems are provided with dispensing means comprising valve assemblies, while the containers are provided with a closure
- WO 89/07575 discloses an assembly of a closure and a bag-in-box container comprising two distinct sealing members a first sealing member in the form of a sheet provided on the neck finish of the inner bag and as such sealing the access opening defined by said neck finish A second sealing member in the form of a sheet is applied on the outer surface of the closure and covers both access ports defined therein
- a drawback of this known assembly is that it can not be combined with the use of a closure having an access port that in a fixed position of the closure on the container extends into the access opening of the inner bag as in that case, the concerning sealing member would be broken
- a sealing member according WO 89/07575 has further the inconvenience in that it is difficult to apply on the neck finish of the inner bag once this is applied in the outer shelf Indeed, the access opening of the neck portion of the outer shelf limits freedom to handle This inconvenience is very pertinent when the inner bag and outer shelf are assembled in a preform stage and consecutively blow moulded together
- This method for manufacturing the container includes maintaining the access port of both the inner bag and the outer shelf open at the time of assembling both parts, since the access openings are needed to insert air therein during blow moulding

- the second sealing member 29 preferably has a substantial height H2
- at least the second sealing member 29 and even more preferably both sealing members 28-29 have a given thickness This thickness is especially preferred when the closure 2 is manufactured in a material having a greater axial thermal expansion coefficient than the axiai thermal expansion coefficient of the inner bags neck finish 12
- the closure upon temperature increase, the closure will more closely fit in the neck portion of the container 1 , thereby compressing the second sealing member 29 between the closure and the radial inner surface of the neck finish 12 and ensuring good sealing against fluid leakage out of the inner bag 10
- the thickness of the second sealing member 29 is hereby important to provide compression capability, since otherwise, the thermal expansion of the closure will act directly on the neck finish of the inner bag 10 and the neck portion 5 of the container 1 , and may cause damage
- the thermal expansion coefficient is hereby important to
- the sealing means do not form part of the access ports 22 and 25 and do not need to be pierced to gain access to the space 4 in the outer shelf 3 or to the space 1 1 in the inner bag 10
- the sealing means In the case the closure 2 is positioned as represented in figure 1 , i e in the fixation position the sealing means essentially provide only a sealing function and do not act as access ports
- both sealing members 28 and 29 are fixed to the closure 2, thereby facilitating the assembly of the closure 2 on the container 1 , while assuring that the sealing members 28 and 29 are positioned correctly
- the fixation can be achieved by gluing, overmoulding or any other known fixation technique assuring good contact between the sealing members and the closure
- the assembly of container 1 and closure 2 comprises an overpressure relief system comprising a fixation between the closure 2 and the container 1 , said fixation comprising two positions in between which the closure 2 is movable
- the overpressure relief system comprises both sets of protrusions 8a and 8b of the neck portion 5 as well as the skirt 17 and the corresponding set of protrusions 27
- the first fixation position is the one wherein the set of protrusions 27 located on the skirt 17 are snap fitted ( ⁇ e clamped) behind the set of protrusions 8a located closest to the containers body and wherein the closure 2 seals said opening 6 of the outer shelf 3 and the opening 13 of the inner bag 10

- overpressure relief system that is primarily meant as a safety measure when the pressure in the container increases to a level where burst of the container or the closure or closure blow off may occur
- the design of the closure as described in the preferred embodiment also allows gradual pressure release at lower pressure levels indeed, upon pressure build up, the base of the closure will slightly deform, i e bulge outward The bulging results in an axial displacement of the closure 2 in a direction out of the container 1 and of a distance that is smaller than the height of the second sealing member 29 that remains engaged As a result of the displacement of the closure 2, the head space in the container increases in volume and the pressure inside the container will slightly drop
- FIGS 4 and 5 represent an alternative embodiment of an assembly according the present invention
- the assembly corresponds to the assembly described with reference to figures 1 to 3, apart from the fixation of the closure on to the container being achieved by just one set of outwardly extending protrusions 8a on the containers neck portion, thereby working in conjunction with the inwardly directed protrusions provided on the closure
- the base of the closure can be designed such to provide flexibility resulting into outwards bulging upon sealing a container wherein a given overpressure occurs
- FIG. 29 Another alternative embodiment such as described with reference to figures 1 to 3 resides in the design of the sealing member 29 positioned in between the closure 2 and the neck finish 12 of the inner bag 10
- This sealing member 29 is essentially cylindrical with open ends and is provided with at least one and preferably several intrusions 30 positioned along the outer edge of the sealing These intrusions 30 extend over a part of the height H2 of the sealing member 29 at that side of the sealing member 29 that -upon assembly, between closure and container- is directed towards the inside of the container
- the part or parts of the sealing positioned in the extension of these intrusions have a height H2' which is less than the displacement of the base of the closure during deformation caused by the overpressure in the container
- the above alternative embodiment of the assembly of the invention incorporates an overpressure relief system
- the base 16 of the closure will bulk outward, thereby displacing the second sealing member 29 Due to that displacement the second sealing member 29 will be displaced such that the part or parts of that sealing member 29 situated in the extension of the intrusions 30 is disengaged from the inner bag's neck finish 12
- the intrusions 30 form venting channels between the space 1 1 in the inner bag and the intermediate space 4 which in turn is in communication with the ambient atmosphere via the second access port 25, thereby allowing overpressure relief
- the first sealing member 28 can also be provided with an intrusion corresponding to the intrusion 30 in the second sealing member 29, such that in case of deformation of the closure 2, the first sealing member 28 too disengages
- the fixation of the closure to the container is not limited to a so-called snap-fit fixation, but can also be achieved in numerous other fixation means such as, for example, by means of a thread
- the above described assemblies according the invention are particularly suited for containers designed to contain carbonated beverages, such as for example beer
- the container according to the present invention is a container of the type generally known as bag-in-containers, also referred to as bag-in-bottles or bag- ⁇ n-boxes depending on the geometry of the outer vessel, all terms considered herein as being comprised within the meaning of the term bag-in-container, are a family of liquid dispensing packaging consisting of an outer container comprising an opening to the atmosphere —the mouth— and which contains a collapsible inner bag joined to said container and opening to the atmosphere at the region of said mouth
- the system must comprise at least one vent fluid Iy connecting the atmosphere to the region between the inner bag and the outer container in order to control the pressure in said region to squeeze the inner bag and thus dispense the liquid contained therein
- bag-in-containers were —and still are— produced by independently producing an inner bag provided with a specific neck closure assembly and a structural container (usually in the form of a bottle) The bag is inserted into the fully formed bottle opening and fixed thereto by means of the neck closure assembly, which comprises one opening to the interior of the bag and vents fluidly connecting the space between bag and bottle to the atmosphere, examples of such constructions can be found inter alia in US-A-3484011 , US-A-3450254, US-A-4, 330,066, and US-A-4892230
- the present invention does not address assemblies of containers and closures comprising one or more valve assemblies provided in the access openings 6, 13 shut off by the closure 2
