Abstract
A container assembly and methods for making and using such an assembly are disclosed herein. In one embodiment, an assembly is configured to hold an amount of catalyst. The assembly includes a first layer forming an inner liner that, when sealed, contains the amount of catalyst. Additionally, the assembly includes a second layer that at least partly surrounds the first layer and that is substantially rigid. Further, the assembly includes a third layer that substantially completely surrounds the second layer and that is at least partly made from a woven material, the third layer including a portion forming a spout structure, and a fourth layer that at least partly surrounds the third layer.
Claims25
An assembly configured to hold an amount of catalyst, the assembly comprising:
- a first layer forming an inner liner that, when sealed, contains the amount of catalyst;
- a second layer that at least partly surrounds the first layer and that is substantially rigid;
- a third layer that substantially completely surrounds the second layer and that is at least partly made from a woven material, the third layer including a portion forming a spout structure;
- and
- a fourth layer that at least partly surrounds the third layer.
A method of forming an assembly capable of containing an amount of catalyst, the method comprising:
- providing first, second, third, and fourth layers, wherein the first layer forms an inner liner that, when sealed, is capable of containing the amount of catalyst, wherein the second layer is substantially rigid, and wherein the third layer is at least partly made from a woven material and includes a portion forming a spout structure;
- and
- inserting the third layer into the fourth layer, the second layer into the third layer, and the first layer into the second layer.
A container assembly configured to hold an amount of material in a sealable manner, the container assembly comprising:
- a first layer forming an inner liner that, when sealed, contains the amount of catalyst;
- a second layer;
- and
- a third layer having a portion forming a spout structure,
- wherein each of the second layer and the third layer substantially surrounds the first layer,
- wherein either the second layer substantially surrounds the third layer or the third layer substantially surrounds the second layer,
- wherein the second layer is rigid or substantially rigid;
- and
- wherein the first layer includes an entry port, an exit port, and an additional access port that allows for access into an interior region of the first layer even when the entry and exit ports are closed.
