The annular ring forms a hermetic seal with the upper annular rim of the opening. A frangible cover (82) is integrally molded with the cap extending across the lower annular rim.
A flexible container forming and filling apparatus comprising a flexible container forming assembly, a flexible container filling assembly and a transfer assembly. The flexible container forming assembly is configured for forming at least two side by side flexible containers which define at least a first output and a second output. The flexible container filling assembly is associated with the flexible container forming assembly and has a receiving region configured for receipt of sequential flexible containers for filling. The transfer assembly is configured for sequentially transferring flexible containers from the first output to the receiving region of the flexible container filling assembly and from the second output to the receiving region of the flexible container filling assembly.
A flexible container forming apparatus which forms a flexible container from at least one film comprising a surface deformation assembly and a flexible container sealing assembly. The surface deformation assembly includes a subassembly which has a heating assembly and a surface deformation station. The heating assembly heats a portion of film, and the deformation station plastically deforms a portion of the film. The heating assembly includes a member for selectively introducing the film to the heated roller. The surface deformation station includes a member for directing the film in opposing directions. A slack accumulation assembly accumulates at least a portion of the film that has been deformed by the surface deformation station. The apparatus may include a filler device and a transfer assembly for transferring formed containers to a filler device.
A collapsible bag for dispensing liquids, including viscous liquids such as syrup and the like, comprising a first wall, a second wall, a spout, a surface variation associated with the first wall. The first wall and second wall are connected together to define a fluid chamber therebetween. The first wall and the second wall each have an inner surface facing the fluid chamber and an opposed outer surface. The spout is attached to one of the first and second walls, and has an opening therethrough having an axis substantially perpendicular to the one of the first and second walls to which it is attached. The surface variation is molded into at least a portion of the first wall. The surface variation limits contact between the inner surfaces of the first wall and the second wall so as to define a minimum unstressed volume therebetween wherein at least a portion of the minimum unstressed volume is maintained substantially throughout evacuation of liquid therefrom by suction.

A filler device for filling flexible bags including a table, a container gripper assembly, a fill valve and a evacuation facilitating assembly. The table has a top surface configured for receipt of a flexible bag. The container gripper assembly is configured for receipt of a spout of a flexible bag positioned on the table. The fill valve is positionable in fluid communication with the flexible bag. The evacuation facilitating assembly comprises a frame, a leg member and displacing assembly. The frame is spaced apart from the table. The leg member is associated with the frame. The displacing assembly displaces the leg member relative to the frame to, in turn, direct the leg member between a first position wherein the leg member is spaced apart from the table to a second position wherein the flexible bag is sandwiched between the leg member and the table.

The outer panel assembly comprises a first panel and a second panel positioned in an overlaying orientation. The cavity sealing assembly includes opposing side seals, a top cavity seal and a bottom cavity seal which cooperate to form a cavity. Two extension regions extend away from the top cavity seal. The spout assembly is attached to the first panel and provides fluid communication with the cavity. The handle area includes atop handle seal spaced apart from the top cavity seal and the first and second extension regions. The first extension region in cooperation with the top handle seal defines a first side opening slot, and, the second extension region in cooperation with the top handle seal defines a second side opening slot. A hanging opening extends through the first panel and the second panel between the top cavity seal and the top handle seal.
A collapsible bag for dispensing liquids, including viscous liquids such as syrup and the like, comprising a first wall, a second wall, a spout, a surface variation associated with the first and second walls. The first wall and second wall are connected together to define a fluid chamber therebetween.
