  • Patent number: 8657163
    Abstract: A draining device and a package with such a draining device for a liquid material. The draining device comprises a housing part and a draining part, which is articulated around an axis in relation to the housing part. The housing part comprises a first channel with an inlet which ends on the inside of the package. The draining part comprises a second channel with an outlet which ends on the out-side of the package. The housing part is arranged to be attached on the outside of the wall of the package. The draining part is arranged with at least one puncturing device in its end being arranged opposite to the outlet. The puncturing device is arranged to puncture the wall of the package so that at least one passage is formed through which liquid material being located in the package may be made to flow out through the draining part to the outside of the package.

  • Publication number: 20100296755
    Abstract: The invention relates to a package for a fluid material, the package (8) comprising a bag of flexible sheet material (2), where the package (8) comprises two opposite side walls (12, 14) and a bottom (22) which bottom (22) before filling of material presents two fields (18, 20) received between the side walls (12, 14), and where further the bottom (22) and the side walls (12, 14) are tightly sealed with each other along the side edges (3, 5) of the package (8), where a creased section (13, 15) is arranged along the transition edges (50, 52) between the bottom (22) of the package (8) and its respective side walls (12, 14) for forming of a series of to each other connected lamellae (54, 56; 58, 60) whereby the side walls (12, 14) are kept substantially vertical and substantially perpendicular to the bottom (22) along the transition edges (50, 52) when the package (8) is filled with the fluid material (9) wherein the package (8) is stabilised against tipping over.

  • Publication number: 20050180665
    Abstract: A package comprising a bag of flexible sheet material which, prior to being filled, is laid flat and comprises two opposing side walls (2) substantially in contact with each other, which side walls are tightly sealed along opposing side edges (5), the bag also comprising a bottom wall (3) which is folded double and has two fields (31) facing each other received between the lower parts of the side walls (2), the parts of the end edges of the bottom wall being sealed together. At least in the vicinity of the fold line (32), the side edges of the bottom wall are joined to the side walls at their side edges and a string of springy, elastic material (4) is connected to a respective side wall (2) at its lower edge (21), along substantially the entire length of the lower edge of the side wall when the package is in its flat state, and the two material strings are separated from each other.

  • Patent number: 6379483
    Abstract: The invention solves in a new manner the known problems of making packages in the form of a continuous tube completely and reliably tight though a method, which is mainly distinguish by the tube being pressed together at the constricting positions into a string and that the string along plural lines are subjected to high and preferably pulsating pressure of such a magnitude that the material becomes adhering. The lines may be traversal with respect to the tube ot crossing each other so as to form a checked pattern. The pulsation in pressure is suitably obtained through ultrasound. The invention concerns a device as well as a sealing method.

  • Patent number: 6360915
    Abstract: Among all the known packages for soft and fluid products, the flexible tube type package is the most uncomplicated and most cost-effective. It, however, suffers from being relatively difficult to open, not to be reclosed and not allowing convenient handling when to being emptied. These problems have found their solution through the invention which mainly is characterized by the flexible tube type package at one of its ends being provided with thin collar (2) of a semi-rigid material such as cardboard or a soft plastic or a more rigid material. The collar is arranged such that the filled package can be placed standing with one of the collar edges resting against the support surface. In a particular embodiment the package is also surrounded by a round jar (3), the inner dimensions of which fitting to the diameter of the collar, and a lid (4) which is provided with a sharp point (7).

  • Patent number: 5785200
    Abstract: A combination of a cylindrical container and a closure for containing products in paste form. The closure device has a bottom (3) and an essentially cylindrical wall (4) that joins and extends out from the bottom. The closure has at least two radially inwardly directed ridges (5), which extend helically essentially from the bottom (3) to the free edge of the wall (4). Scale markings on the closure measure a portion of the product in the closure when the closure is partially opened and the container is vertical and sits on the closure.
