The invention is an integrally blow-moulded bag-in-container and preform and a method for making it. The bag-in-container has an inner layer forming the bag and an outer layer forming the container, and a mouth fluidly connecting the volume defined by the bag to the atmosphere. The container further has at least one interface vent fluidly connecting the interface between inner and outer layers to the atmosphere, wherein the at least one vent runs parallel to the interface between inner and outer layers and opens to the atmosphere at a location adjacent to, and oriented coaxially with the bag-in-container's mouth. Processes for manufacturing a preform and a bag-in-container as defined above are defined too.

Methods, apparatuses and systems are disclosed including a method of filling a container with substantially only a liquid. The method can include the removal of a gas from the container prior to, during or after the filling of the container with the liquid. According to one embodiment, the container includes an inner liner and a lid. The method includes providing a volume defined by at least the inner liner and the lid of the container. In such embodiment, the liquid can initially be contained within a first portion of the volume and a remaining portion of the volume can contain a gas. The method can include removing substantially all the gas from the volume via one or more ports that communicate with the volume while retaining substantially only the liquid within the volume.

A holding receptacle for effectively storing contents in a reduced air environment to retard oxidation, drying, and other issues related to air exposure. The holding receptacle comprises a body with a flexible liner integrated to the body such that the flexible liner sits within an interior portion of the body to define an interior body to act as a conduit for a content of the holding receptacle. The holding receptable also comprises of an air valve which adjusts the air within the interior portion of the body by compressing the flexible liner toward an upper end of the body. This expels excess air from an interior portion before a lid is placed over the upper end of the body to allow the contents within to be stored in an air-free environment and improving the shelf life of the contents.

An apparatus for feeding a person viscous food includes a food container including a food storage portion containing viscous food and a first connector on an open end of the food storage portion. The food storage portion being compressible. A feeding device includes a feeding surface and a second connector removably attachable to the first connector. A method for feeding the person includes removably connecting a food container containing viscous food to a feeding device and expelling an amount of the viscous food from the food container. At least a portion of the amount of expelled viscous food flows onto a feeding surface of the feeding device. The method further includes providing the portion of the viscous food on the feeding surface of the feeding device to the person.

The invention is an integrally blow-moulded bag-in-container obtainable by blow-moulding an injection moulded multi-layer preform. The bag-in-container includes an inner layer forming the bag and an outer layer forming the container, and a single opening, the mouth, fluidly connecting the volume defined by the bag to the atmosphere. The container further includes at least one interface vent fluidly connecting the interface between inner and outer layers to the atmosphere, wherein the bag is anchored to the outer layer at at least one point remote from the single opening and interface vent. The invention also relates to a process and a mould for the production of the blow-moulded bag-in-container.

Disclosed is a content discharging device according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. The content discharging device includes a flexible pouch having an opening at one side thereof, a fixing ring coupled to the opening, and a discharging portion coupled to the fixing ring and capable of conveying content. The flexible pouch is inserted into a rigid container with a shape, and the discharging portion is coupled to the opening of the rigid container. The content discharging device according to the present disclosure provides the effect of allowing consumption of content completely without remainder even when the liquid with high viscosity is filled in the rigid container, and the effects, in which the pouch with the elasticity is deformed in conformity with a shape having the rigid container and the content can be contained therein when the content have been contained in the pouch in the case of providing the pouch with the elasticity capable of being inserted into the rigid container, and that can discharge the content into the outside of the container by a restoring force according to the elasticity.

To provide a container including an inner container that is deformed as content decreases, the container being a dispensing container reusable and excellent in an aroma retaining property. To implement such container, a dispensing container (10) includes a container body (13) including a flexible inner container configured to be filled with content and to deflate as the content decreases, and an outer container encompassing the inner container and having an intake hole through which external air is taken into a space between the inner container and the outer container, a discharge cap (15) including a top surface part having a discharge port through which the content is discharged, the discharge cap (15) being mounted on a mouth portion (13a) of the container body (13), and an external air introduction hole that provides communication between the outside and the intake hole. The inner container and the outer container are made of a polyethylene terephthalate resin.

A break-open single-dose package includes a panel defining one or more frangible regions, one or more sheets coupled to the panel and defining one or more pockets therebetween for storing one or more spreadable consumables, and an applicator. The frangible region(s) are adapted to form one or more openings through which the spreadable consumable(s) can exit in response to folding of the panel. The applicator may include one or more optional features such as a chamber, a backing, a tab, a blade, a grip, etc. to permit a user to spread on a surface any spreadable consumable(s) that exit the pocket(s) using the applicator without requiring the user's hand(s) to contact the spreadable consumable(s).

A liquid container includes a first storage level configured to store the liquid, a second level of pressurization configured to receive a gas in order to keep the first level under pressure. The first and second levels can be stored flat when empty of carbonated liquid and gas. The container further includes an envelope configured to maintain the first and second levels in a maximum volume, the envelope being configured to be stored flat with a thickness of less than 5 cm.

A preform can be made from two different materials that do not bond together by a bi-injection process, using the same mold. First an outer preform can be fashioned first, then an inner preform molded through a center hole in the outer preform, and the preforms connected. Inner/outer preform materials can be different, e.g., PET/polyolefin or polyamide, or the same, e.g., PET/PET. To prevent mutual bonding during molding of the second, a non-stick coating can be sprayed on a surface portion of the first preform prior to molding, the second. Manufacturing order can be either outer/inner, or inner/outer, and the non-stick coating sprayed on the inside/outside of the perform first molded.
