A spout holding device for holding a spout part having a communication hole, includes an elastic part capable of elastically deforming in a direction orthogonal to a first direction when compressive force or tensile force is applied to the elastic part in the first direction, wherein the elastic part applies elastic force to the spout part in three or more different directions orthogonal to the first direction to hold the spout part.

A food arrangement with at least one receptacle which is filled with a liquid, sterile food; a connector, which is introduced into the receptacle and has a pierced membrane arranged in a filler neck; and a tamper-evident seal, which is connected to the connector and closes the filler neck. A sterile food arrangement is thus made available, without the need for final autoclaving of the entire filled receptacle.

A tap assembly for dispensing fluid from a flexible container includes a gland for connecting with the container, the gland having an inlet and an outlet. An actuator is in fluid communication with the outlet of the gland, the actuator including a lever, a removable tamper evident tab and a cap, wherein when the tamper evident tab is in position, the actuator is inoperable and the lever and the cap are fixedly joined and wherein, upon removal of the tamper evident tab, the lever is moveable with respect to the cap to dispense fluid from the tap assembly. A connector is latchable with an outlet of the actuator, the connector including an arm to fixedly engage with the lever in a raised position.

The invention relates to a container, wherein the container comprises a wall and a valve, wherein the wall defines an interior cavity, wherein the cavity has an adjustable volume, wherein the cavity contains a composition, wherein the composition comprises a nanomaterial, and wherein the volume of the composition is less than or equal to about 50 vol % of the maximum volume of the cavity.

To provide a pouch for achieving a reduced storage space with a simple configuration and a method for manufacturing the pouch. A pouch (10) including a gusset portion (22) includes a pouch main body (20) and an inner supporting member (70) disposed inside the pouch main body (20). The pouch main body (20) includes a content containing portion (21), and a first fixture portion (24) and a second fixture portion (25) that face each other across the content containing portion (21). The inner supporting member (70) includes a first fixing portion (71) fixed to the first fixture portion (24) and a second fixing portion (72) fixed to the second fixture portion (25).

A build material container outlet structure, and a build material nozzle structure is described. The build material container outlet structure comprises a connector to releasably connect to a nozzle structure of an external aspiration system. The outlet structure comprises an aspiration channel to aspire build material from a build material container to the nozzle structure of the external aspiration system. The outlet structure comprises a protrusion protruding from an inner wall of the aspiration channel, to extend into an end portion of a tube of the nozzle structure that is inserted into the aspiration channel and retain a valve element of the nozzle structure in an open configuration.

A tap assembly for dispensing fluid from a flexible container includes a gland for connecting with the container, the gland having an inlet and an outlet. A tap is in fluid communication with the outlet of the gland. An incision device is fixed with respect to the tap to rotate with a corresponding rotation of the tap, the incision device located at the inlet of the gland, and positioned fully within the gland in a first rotational position and generally outside of the gland in a second rotational position. An indent and/or rib and/or molded sidewall is positioned on the gland or the tap and a corresponding detent and/or rib and/or tap flange is positioned on an opposite of the tap or the gland such that the tap is rotatable between the first rotational position and the second rotational position and the indent and the detent and/or molded sidewall prevents further rotation.

A container made of a sheet material including a plurality of layered film layers including a first film layer and a second film layer. The sheet material is formed into a bag by attaching at least a part of a periphery of the sheet material to form a containing region for accommodating a content inside the second film layer. The container includes, between the first film layer and the second film layer, a film attached portion where the first film layer and the second film layer are attached to each other, and a filler enclosed portion bulged out to a thickness direction of the sheet material than the film attached portion because the filler is present therein. A printed layer including an ink layer is formed on at least one surface selected from outside and inside surfaces of the first film layer, and outside and inside surfaces of the second film layer, and the printed layer is removable from the surface of the film layer by washing with an aqueous solvent.

To prevent a reduction in a bending strength and a buckling strength of a container bag for fluid in which a spout is mounted on an upper end of a trunk section formed of a sheet material. Cells 9 are formed between two films of the sheet material 2 by bonding the films together along bonding lines 8, and inflated with fluid. The cells 9 positioned within a width of the spout in a width direction of the trunk section 5 extends downwardly from a site at which the spout 6 is clamped by the layers of the sheet material 2. A lower end of the spout 6 is situated lower than upper ends of the cells 9.

To provide a pouch for achieving a reduced storage space with a simple configuration and a method for manufacturing the pouch. A pouch (10) including a gusset portion (22) includes a pouch main body (20) and an inner supporting member (70) disposed inside the pouch main body (20). The pouch main body (20) includes a content containing portion (21) and a first fixture portion (24) and a second fixture portion (25) that face each other across the content containing portion (21). The inner supporting member (70) includes a first fixing portion (71) fixed to the first fixture portion (24) and a second fixing portion (72) fixed to the second fixture portion (25).
