Abstract: This invention relates to a container comprising and outer shell and an inner lining, to a method of construction of such a container and to components used in the construction of such a container. A container comprises an outer shell made from a first material comprising paperboard, and an inner lining made from a second material comprising a polymeric or metallic material, the lining defining an internal volume for holding a liquid, and the lining being adhered to the shell, wherein, the outer shell includes a line of weakness extending around at least part of the periphery of the shell and defining a first portion of the shell on one side of said line and a second portion of the shell on the other side of said line, the line of weakness permitting the first portion of the shell to be separated from the second portion of the shell, and wherein, the lining is adhered to the shell in said first portion and the lining extends into to said second portion of the shell.

Abstract: A container has a paperboard outer shell and an inner lining. The container also has a main body portion, a neck portion providing an opening of the container and a base on which the container may be supported in use. The outer shell has a first side wall element including a part of the neck portion and a part of the main body portion of the container; a second side wall element including a part of the neck portion and a part of the main body portion of the container; and a third base element including the base of the container. The first, second and third elements are separate elements bonded together to form the shell, and are formed from flat sheet material pressed to form the 3-dimensional shape of the shell.

Abstract: This invention relates to containers. In particular this invention relates to bottles having an outer cardboard shell and an inner lining or pouch and to a method of manufacture of such bottles. A container comprising a paperboard outer shell and an inner lining has a main body portion, a neck portion providing an opening of the container extending from a first end of the main body portion and a base on which the container may be supported in use provided at a second end of the main body portion.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a container having a hollow shell defining a body with a dispensing aperture, and a bag within the shell, the open end of the bag extending through the dispensing aperture and being secured with respect to the outside of the shell. The bag is made from a material suitable for containing the intended contents of the container. The shell may be formed from a material that would not be suitable for containing the intended contents of the container alone. The shell may be formed from a biodegradable material, such as wood or paper pulp. The bag may be separated from the main body of the container to allow for separate disposal. The container may be sealed by providing a spout through which the contents of the container are to be dispensed, and by folding the spout over to create a nip which seals the container.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a container (1) having a hollow shell defining a body with a dispensing aperture, and a bag (4) within the shell (2), the open end of the bag extending through the dispensing aperture and being secured with respect to the outside of the shell. The bag (4) is made from a material suitable for containing the intended contents of the container (1). Therefore the shell (2) may be formed from a material that would not be suitable for containing the intended contents of the container alone. The shell (2) may be formed from a biodegradable material, such as wood or paper pulp. The bag (4) may be separated from the main body of the container to allow for separate disposal. The container (1) may be sealed by providing a spout through which the contents of the container are to be dispensed, and by folding the spout over to create a nip which seals the container.

Abstract: Method and apparatus for moulding an article from pulp material, in which the article is moulded on the surface of a mould tool, the article is pressed and the pressed article is dried, using heated gas or superheated steam that is passed through the pressed article or using microwaves, in which the pressed article is retained on a tool during the drying. The tool may be the mould tool or a different tool.

Abstract: Press tool for pressing liquid from an article, for example a pulp article formed by a pulp moulding process. The tool includes a flexible mould surface (170) and a source of fluid arranged such that the source of fluid can be selectively supplied behind the mould surface (170) causing deformation of the flexible mould surface (170) and the consequent application of pressure to the article.

Abstract: Container and method of forming a container comprising an inner liner and an outer shell by providing an open shell that is closeable to provide the outer shell, vacuum forming the liner with a shape conforming generally to at least a portion of the inner volume of the shell from at least one film, positioning the formed liner in the open shell and closing the shell.
