Abstract: A baby feeding pack comprises a pouch-like bag for containing a liquid infant food or drink having walls of flexible sheet plastics material and a gusset, also of a flexible plastics sheet material, sealed to the walls and carrying a teat with a removable closure. The gusset defines part of a sealed auxiliary compartment in which the teat is disposed and protected from contamination and which is closed by a top seal between the walls or between the upper margins of a sheet which also forms the gusset. On opening the auxiliary compartment along a severance line, the gusset can be inverted to form a frustoconical projection by which the teat is presented for access for feeding.

Abstract: A process of forming biaxially oriented tubular articles by repeatedly performing a cycle of operations which includes engaging a thermoplastic tube by a first clamping member over a first region at a trailing end of the tube and engaging the tube by a second clamping mechanism over a second region at a spacing from the first region so as to define between the clamping mechanisms a portion of the tube to be longitudinally stretched and radially expanded; moving the clamping mechanisms apart to stretch the tube portion therebetween longitudinally; admitting pressure fluid into the tube portion to expand it radially and form a biaxially oriented bubble adjacent the leading end of the tube, and severing a substantial part, but not all, of the bubble from the tube to form the tube with a radially outwardly flared end as the leading end of the tube for the succeeding cycle of operations.

Abstract: Biaxially oriented tubular articles which are destined to provide bodies for processable food containers are made from an elongate tube of thermoplastics material as it emerges from an extruder.
