Patent number: 11724866Abstract: A package and a method for producing the packages are provided. The packages may comprise an enclosure configured to receive at least one product, the enclosure being sealed from the surrounding environment by two tab areas, one tab area formed at one side of the enclosure and the other tab area formed at the opposite side of the enclosure. The two tab areas are formed by selectively sealing two opposing films, each of the two tab areas comprising at least one breachable bubble configured to be breached upon application of pressure by a user, separating a sealed portion of the two films that form the surrounding tab area, allowing access to the enclosure from either or both sides of the enclosure.Type: GrantFiled: February 14, 2020Date of Patent: August 15, 2023Assignee: PopPack LLCInventor: William S. Perell

Publication number: 20230134697Abstract: A one-piece package or container is disclosed that includes an opening device in conjunction with a self-closing valve for facilitating opening of the package and for dispensing fluids in a controlled manner. In one embodiment, the opening device can include at least one breachable bubble. The at least one breachable bubble can be formed by a seal along a perimeter and/or fluid channel of the package. The package includes a fluid channel with a self-closing valve that can be opened by breaching the breachable bubble. After the package is opened, the self-closing valve prevents fluid from flowing through the fluid channel until pressure is applied to the package, such as pressure through squeezing . Thus, when a user applies pressure to the package, the contents of the package can be dispensed through the fluid channel in a controlled manner.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 10, 2021Publication date: May 4, 2023Inventors: William S. PERELL, Cheryl Elizabeth HARRISON

Publication number: 20220340350Abstract: A package or container is disclosed that includes an opening device in conjunction with a self-sealing valve for facilitating opening of the package and for dispensing fluids in a controlled manner. In one embodiment, the opening device can comprise a breachable bubble. The breachable bubble can be in communication with a fluid channel that operates in conjunction with the self-sealing valve. The package can include a folded portion for sealing the fluid channel and allowing the bubble to be breached when a user applies pressure. Once the bubble is breached, the folded portion can be unfolded for dispensing a fluid.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 7, 2022Publication date: October 27, 2022Inventor: Williams S. Perell

Patent number: 11066221Abstract: A package and method for opening the package are disclosed. The package includes a first film and a second film forming an enclosure and at least one tab area and defining a package periphery, the enclosure defining an interior volume configured to receive a product. The package further includes first and second breachable bubbles formed within first and second tab portions of the at least one tab area. Upon application of pressure by a user, the first and second breachable bubbles breach. The package may be alternated between a first position, wherein the first tab portion and the second tab portion are substantially sealed from each other to facilitate breaching, and a second position, wherein the first tab portion and the second tab portion are in fluid communication with each other.Type: GrantFiled: January 11, 2019Date of Patent: July 20, 2021Assignee: PopPack LLCInventors: William S.

Patent number: 10836518Abstract: A rigid holding container has a flexible cover sheet extending over the holding area for sealing the contents. The container has a wide, flat perimeter lip which provides a firm base for the seal between the cover sheet and the container. A breaching bubble is formed in the seal, under the cover and over the perimeter lip. The consumer breaches the bubble by pressing the bubble against the lip between the thumb and forefinger. The pressure compresses the air in the bubble causing the bubble to expand laterally. The expanding bubble breaches along the perimeter of the lip, producing a peel flap of flexible cover material. The consumer pulls the peel flap while holding the rigid container down, to remove the cover sheet.Type: GrantFiled: January 31, 2019Date of Patent: November 17, 2020Assignee: PopPack, LLCInventors: William S.

Patent number: 9802745Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: September 2, 2008Date of Patent: October 31, 2017Assignee: Poppack LLCInventors: William S.

Publication number: 20140294324Abstract: Apparatus 10 has breachable flow conduit 12 for discharging stored fluid 12F contained in storage chamber 10C out to the ambient. Chamber access region 10R is positioned proximate perimeter 10P of the apparatus. The breachable flow conduit is within the access region, and has an inner end 12C proximate the storage chamber and an outer end 12P proximate the perimeter of the apparatus. The flow conduit has outer pressed seal 14P between the outer end of the flow conduit and the perimeter of the apparatus. The flow conduit also has inner pressed seal 14C between the inner end of the flow conduit and the edge of the storage chamber. The flow conduit expands towards the perimeter of the apparatus under external pressure, typically applied by the consumer. The pressure causes the flow conduit to breach at the perimeter of the apparatus. The flow conduit also expands towards the storage chamber. The pressure causes the flow conduit to breach at the edge of the storage chamber.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 31, 2014Publication date: October 2, 2014Applicant: PopPack LLCInventor: William S.
