  • Patent number: 5307955
    Abstract: A flaccid and lightweight bottom delivery package for dispensing fluid products. The package comprises a tubular container for housing the fluid products. The container has a closed top and an open bottom having a gusset panel attached thereto. The gusset panel and that portion of the container below the gusset panel define a stand-up base that allows the package to stand alone on a flat surface while resting on its bottom end. The gusset panel has a discharge orifice disposed therein and a self-sealing valve sealingly secured to the discharge orifice. The valve has a closed position for storage and an open position for dispensing. The valve opens in response to manual squeezing forces being applied to the container, and closes when said manual forces are removed. The package further includes a hook or the like adjacent its top end for hanging the package from a support.
