Abstract: Packaging apparatus is described for forming a series of containers from an elongated strip of film and for disposing materials, illustratively a liquid, into each of the containers. The packaging apparatus comprises a supply of the film, a mechanism for withdrawing the film from the supply and for advancing the film along a path, and a mechanism disposed at a first station adjacent the path for shaping the film into the series of containers. A material injection mechanism is disposed at a second station along said path downstream of the first station for injecting a measured quantity of liquid at periodic intervals into a single one of the series of containers as it is brought one at a time to the second station. A mechanism is provided for imparting a relatively stationary relationship between each container of the series and the material injecting mechanism, thereby permitting the injection of materials into each of the containers before they are severed from each other.

Abstract: A pitcher-like vessel formed of flexible plastic has a main cavity separated from a secondary cavity with a rigid body or mass of wood, plastic or the like in the secondary cavity permitting the use of same as a handle.

Abstract: A container made of synthetic material and comprising two compartments, one containing the liquid or other matter the container is to carry, and one, of smaller volume, containing a gas under pressure. The smaller pressurized container rigidifies the structure and may be shaped in such a way as to form a handle or grip for the container. A process and apparatus for manufacturing and filling rows of such containers is also disclosed, said process involving forming a strip of synthetic material into the shape of a letter W in transverse section and performing various welding operations on the strip to form individual containers and to divide off the two compartments.
