Abstract
A package for a flowable product and material for making such a package in which the package includes a relatively stiff, but flexible material and a flexible material between which the flowable product to be packaged is contained and around which flowable product the materials are affixed to each other, the relatively stiff, but flexible material being cut through or partially through in an interrupted pattern and, when cut through, at least one side of the relatively stiff, but flexible material, at least in the area of the cut pattern, being covered with a sealant, which sealant preferably is a foil, the package, when bent, opening up along the cut pattern to dispense the flowable product from the package, and the relatively stiff, but flexible material for making such a package.
Claims23
A dispensing package for a flowable substance, said package having a relatively stiff flat side and a flexible arched side secured to one side of said stiff flat side and forming between said stiff flat side and said flexible arched side a pocket for containing a flowable substance, said relatively stiff flat side having a cut pattern so as to form at least one tongue and one opening when said relatively stiff flat side is bent into a V about an axis through the base of said tongue and in a direction about said axis toward said pocket so that said flexible arched side and said flowable substance in said pocket are between the arms of said V, said arms of said V and said flexible side therebetween cooperating, as said arms are forced toward each other, and applying pressure on said flowable substance in said pocket and forcing said flowable substance to flow from said pocket through said opening.
A dispensing package for a flowable substance, said package including a relatively stiff flat sheet and a flexible arched sheet secured to one side of said stiff flat sheet and forming between said stiff flat sheet, and said flexible arched sheet a pocket for containing a flowable substance, said relatively stiff flat sheet having a cut pattern so as to form at least one tongue and one opening when said relatively stiff flat sheet is bent into a V about an axis through the base of said tongue and in a direction about said axis toward said pocket so that said flexible arched sheet and said flowable substance in said pocket are between the arms of said V, said arms of said V and said flexible sheet therebetween cooperating, as said arms are forced toward each other, to apply pressure on said flowable substance in said pocket to force said flowable substance to flow from said pocket through said opening.
