Abstract
A container for dispensing various compositions includes a pourable spout located within a breachable bubble. In one embodiment, for instance, the container can be made from flexible polymer films. The container can include a sealed perimeter that defines an opening where a pourable spout is located. A locking bubble can be located over the opening for preventing liquids from being dispensed from the container prior to opening the bubble. When it is desired to dispense the container, the bubble can be breached which therefore allows the contents of the container to be dispensed through the opening.
Claims18
A container for holding and dispensing compositions comprising:
- a container housing defining a hollow interior volume and comprising at least one sealed edge;
- a pour channel in communication with the interior volume of the container housing;
- and
- a locking bubble surrounding the pour channel wherein the entire pour channel is contained within the locking bubble, the locking bubble being surrounded by a bubble seal, the bubble seal preventing contents contained in the interior volume of the container housing from exiting the container through the pour channel, the locking bubble being breachable when subjected to sufficient pressure, and wherein, when the bubble is breached, the contents of the container can be dispensed through the pour channel, wherein at least one sealed edge of the container housing is contained within the locking bubble.
