Abstract
An outlet connector for a container is provided through which a product can be introduced into the container through the outlet connector. The outlet connector preferably includes a sealing mechanism that can burst once a threshold pressure is exceeded, for example, by the flow of products toward the container. A sealing mechanism is described herein having two layers, wherein one layer is perforated to provide a defined tearing of the sealing mechanism. A method of producing an outlet connector is also provided herein.

1-20. (canceled)
An outlet connector for a container, the outlet connector comprising:
- a sealing mechanism constructed and arranged to seal the container;
- the sealing mechanism having a threshold pressure;
- the sealing mechanism further having a first layer and a second layer;
- wherein the first layer comprises a predetermined separation site;
- and
- the sealing mechanism being constructed and arranged to separate proximate the separation site when the threshold pressure is exceeded.
An outlet connector for a container, the outlet connector comprising:
- a sealing mechanism constructed and arranged to provide an aseptic seal, the sealing mechanism having a multiple-layer foil having a threshold pressure, the multiple-layer foil having at least two layers:
- wherein one of the at least two layers comprises a perforation at a predetermined location;
- and
- wherein the sealing mechanism is constructed and arranged to burst open along the perforation when the threshold pressure is exceeded.
A method of producing a sealing mechanism for application on an outlet connector, the method comprising:
- providing a multiple-layer foil having at least two layers, the at least two layers comprising a first layer and a second layer;
- and
- forming a perforation of the first layer at a predetermined position constructed and arranged such that the sealing mechanism bursts open at the perforation when a predetermined pressure is applied thereto.
A sealing mechanism for an outlet connector, the sealing mechanism comprising two layers having different light absorption characteristics.
