Squeeze dispenser package for viscous products

A hanger and pouch assembly for use in a squeeze pump package comprising a plastic container having opposed compressible portions, comprising

• a hanger and a pouch, said hanger being made of plastic material, said hanger including means for suspending said hanger in a container,
• said hanger comprising a relatively rigid upper portion having an opening,
• said hanger having a lower portion comprising spaced flexible walls,
• said pouch comprising a plastic film pouch having an opening bonded adjacent the opening to the opening in the hanger and having portions thereof bonded to said flexible portions of said hanger,
• said film pouch comprising a sealed flexible lower portion extending beyond the lower portion of said hanger.

An inner receptacle for containing a viscous product and for use with a squeeze container which is resiliently deformable substantially along its entire longitudinal length and has an outlet opening, said inner receptacle comprising:

• an upper portion and a lower portion for being arranged in succession along the longitudinal length of the squeeze container;
• said upper portion including an upper end having means for suspending the inner receptacle within the squeeze container and a discharge opening for being substantially aligned with said outlet opening;
• said lower portion including a flexible liner for containing said viscous product;
• said flexible liner heaving an open upper part, a sealed lower end, and an original filled shape;
• said upper portion further including a resiliently deformable support means disposed proximate said outlet opening for radially supporting the upper part of said flexible liner, for maintaining the upper part of said flexible liner in substantially its original filled shape between dispensing operations, and for forcing said flexible liner to controlledly invert inside the upper portion during a dispensing operation thus displacing the viscous product within the flexible liner toward the discharge opening and permitting substantially all of the viscous product to be dispensed;
• said support means having an original unstressed shape and being resiliently deformed during a dispensing operation when a squeeze force is applied to said squeeze container;
• and
• said support means having memory to allow it to return to its original unstressed shape after the squeeze force is removed from the container.
