Definitions

  • the present invention generally relates to the field of packaging of food and medical products and more specifically to the field of packaging which allows consumption of said products in various conditions.
  • Packaging of certain products is sometimes required to impede or prevent the transmission of oxygen and/or water vapor through the package.
  • the packaging is required to fulfil two basic requirements: One is to allow easy and handy consumption of the products, and the other is to allow preserving the quality and the life duration of these products in various conditions, such as field conditions, outdoors.
  • the products consumer may be outdoor during a long staying without appropriate conditions to consume the product nor to store them. In such cases, the products may deteriorate when they are exposed to the open air, moisture, heat, and the like.
  • the present subject matter discloses a portable, collapsible, package container for storing and dispensing liquid edible materials.
  • Said portable, Impenetrable Package Container hereafter referred to as IPC
  • IPC can also be sealed by a spout which can be open and allow the liquid edible material to release out.
  • the IPC may be housed within a rigid coverage designed to protect the IPC from inclement conditions, and/or bad handling.
  • inclement conditions can be a pressure, sharp objects penetrating the container, or stretching force exerted on the IPC.
  • the IPC may be designed to prevent the permeation of water, or water vapor into the liquid edible material stored within the IPC.
  • the IPC may be impenetrable to oxidation processes.
  • the IPC may be designed to prevent changes in the oxidation state of the liquid edible material stored within the IPC.
  • the IPC may impenetrable to light, or to some specific wavelengths at the electromagnetic spectrum.
  • the material from which the IPC is made can be designed to prevent penetration of ultraviolet waves into the liquid edible material stored within the IPC.

Description

A PORTABLE COLLAPSIBLE PACKAGE CONTAINER FOR STORING AND
DISPENSING LIQUID EDIBLE MATERIAL
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention generally relates to the field of packaging of food and medical products and more specifically to the field of packaging which allows consumption of said products in various conditions.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Packaging of certain products, such as liquid food products or liquid medical products, is sometimes required to impede or prevent the transmission of oxygen and/or water vapor through the package. In addition, in cases when the consumption of such products take place in field conditions, the packaging is required to fulfil two basic requirements: One is to allow easy and handy consumption of the products, and the other is to allow preserving the quality and the life duration of these products in various conditions, such as field conditions, outdoors. There are multiple scenarios, such as in a battle field, camping for a few days or running a marathon, when the packaging of food products or medical products is required to be opened and closed several times. In these scenarios, the products consumer may be outdoor during a long staying without appropriate conditions to consume the product nor to store them. In such cases, the products may deteriorate when they are exposed to the open air, moisture, heat, and the like.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The present subject matter discloses a portable, collapsible, package container for storing and dispensing liquid edible materials. Said portable, Impenetrable Package Container, hereafter referred to as IPC, can also be sealed by a spout which can be open and allow the liquid edible material to release out. In some cases, the IPC may be housed within a rigid coverage designed to protect the IPC from inclement conditions, and/or bad handling. In some cases, such inclement conditions can be a pressure, sharp objects penetrating the container, or stretching force exerted on the IPC.
In some embodiments of the disclosed subject matter, the IPC may be designed to prevent the permeation of water, or water vapor into the liquid edible material stored within the IPC. In some cases, the IPC may be impenetrable to oxidation processes. For example, the IPC may be designed to prevent changes in the oxidation state of the liquid edible material stored within the IPC. In some other cases, the IPC may impenetrable to light, or to some specific wavelengths at the electromagnetic spectrum. For example, the material from which the IPC is made can be designed to prevent penetration of ultraviolet waves into the liquid edible material stored within the IPC. In some embodiments of the present invention, the IPC may comprise laminated films with an average light transmittance of 11 % or less in the wavelength range of 315 NM (Nanometer) to 1,000 NM in cases where the container is compounded of films with thickness of 12 (twelve) micrometers. In some cases, the IPC may comprise laminated films preventing the ingress of other materials, such as gases, flavors or aromas, water vapors, oil, light, and the like. For example, according to a possible aspect of the present invention, the IPC can comprise some laminated films such as: A film made of Biaxially-oriented Polyethylene terephthalate, also known as BOPET, a film made of polyethylene, a film made of Ethylene vinyl alcohol, also known as EVOH, a film made of aluminum, a film made Polyethylene terephthalate coated with a thin layer of metal, a film made of plastic, or any combination thereof. According to one aspect of the present invention, the IPC can comprise some laminated films comprising additional materials such as: Barrier Aluminum Oxide, also known as ALOx, Polyvinylidene chloride, and / or Polychlorotrifluoroethylene (PCTFE). In some cases, the laminated films may also be characterized with an Oxygen transmission rate between 0.5cc/m2/day and 7cc/m2/day. In such cases, the laminated films may also have a water-vapor transition rate of maximum 8g/m2/day. In some embodiments of the discloses subject matter, the laminated films may not block the ingress of Oxygen. In some cases, some of the laminated films may be adhered, one to each-other by a high solids and high performance solvent-based laminating adhesives.
In some embodiments of the disclosed subject matter, the IPC may comprise an container neck inserted into the container of the IPC and designed to maintain a firm and steady structure to the IPC. The container neck may be adhered to the IPC container via an adhesive such as hot melt adhesive or hot melt adhesive which comprises Polyethylene. In some other cases, the container neck may be adhered to the IPC container via a cold adhesive, for example adhesives comprising Cyanoacrylates.
The IPC may also comprise a spout connected to the container neck residing within the IPC and designed to dispense the liquid edible material stored within the IPC. In some cases, the spout of the IPC may be closed by a cork configured to seal the spout and prevent air, light, oxidation processes, bacteria, fungus or water vapor from contacting the liquid edible material. The cork may also be designed to prevent from the liquid edible material to pour out from the IPC. In some cases, the IPC cork may be a cap-shaped cork which can be screwed onto the spout, or in some other cases, such a cork may be a lockable cork which can be locked by clicking the cork onto the IPC spout. In some embodiments of the disclosed subject matter, the cork may comprise a pump or a valve, which can be used to dispense the liquid edible material stored within the IPC. In some cases, said pump may be designed to release the liquid edible material in a form of aerosol. In some other cases, the pump may be designed to release the liquid edible material in a form of liquid. The cork may also comprise a one-way valve designed to prevent the liquid edible material to flow from the spout back to the IPC.
In some embodiments of the disclosed subject matter, the rigid coverage of the IPC may be designed to be attached to a person's cloths, or garment items, or limb. The rigid coverage may be provided in a handy form allowing a quick and easy utilization of the liquid edible material. Such a quick and easy utilization may be helpful to athletes, sport-extreme people, soldiers and the like, which require a long-lasting edible material which can be consumed in field conditions or during a prolonged physical effort.

In some cases, the IPC may be made of collapsible material allows squeezing the IPC and thereby releasing out the liquid edible material. In some cases, the IPC may be able to remain in a squeezed shape after releasing a portion of the liquid edible material out of the IPC. For example, in case the IPC comprises a pump for dispensing the liquid edible material in a liquid format, a person may pump a portion of the liquid edible material out of the IPC and squeeze the IPC to push the liquid edible material out. Then, after pumping out a portion of the liquid edible material, the IPC may remain in a squeezed posture without any air or gas existing within the IPC.
Fig. 1 shows an IPC and a cap-shaped cork, in accordance with the disclosed subject matter. Fig. 1 shows an IPC 105 comprises a collapsible container 115. The collapsible container 115 may be made of an impenetrable material which prevents the permeation of at least some of the following: water, water-vapor, oil, oxygen, gas, or light. In some cases, the collapsible container 115 may comprise a laminated structure with multiple films. In such cases, different films may be impenetrable to penetration of different matters. In some cases, the collapsible container 115 may have multiple characteristics to prevent ingress in diverse optional penetration methods. Such methods can be, suffusion, permeation, infiltration, and the like. For example, the collapsible container 115 may comprise one film preventing from oxygen, or oxidizer material to penetrate into the IPC, and one layer preventing from liquid or vapors to penetrate into the IPC. In some cases, the material of the collapsible container 115 may be films of polymers, for example, polyester. In some other cases, the material of the collapsible container 115 may comprise metal ingredients or metal foils. In some cases, a material known as high-barrier material may be used. Such high-barrier material may be a material which is capable of preventing the ingress of another material, whether it is gases or flavors or aromas. Thus, the collapsible container 115 can comprise multiple films, for example: A film made of Biaxially-oriented Polyethylene terephthalate (BOPE), a film made of polyethylene, a film made of Ethylene vinyl alcohol (EVOH), a film made of aluminum, a film made Polyethylene terephthalate coated with a thin layer of metal, a film made of Plastic, or any combination thereof. In some cases, the laminated films may also be characterized with an Oxygen transmission rate of between 0.5cc/m2/day and 7cc/m2/day. In such cases, the laminated films may also have a water-vapor transition rate of maximum 8g/m2/day. In some cases, the laminated films may be adhered one to each-other by a high solids and high performance solvent-based laminating adhesives.
In some embodiments of the disclosed subject matter, the collapsible container 115 may also prevent from the liquid edible material contained in the IPC to permeate outside the container 115. In possible embodiments of the disclosed subject matter, the collapsible container 115 may also be designed with impregnability of puncturing or tearing In some cases, the collapsible container 115 may be designed to resist a tension of a person holding the IPC 105 and trying to tear the collapsible container 115 with the hands. The collapsible container 115 may have the necessary resistance which prevents from the collapsible container 115 to become torn or punctured. For example, the collapsible container 115 may be formed of elastic polyester characterized with Tensile stress of at least 215 Mpa (MegaPascals) in case of Machine Direction and at least 245 Mpa in case of Transverse Direction, at outdoor standard temperature. The IPC 105 also comprise reinforcing strips 125 inserted into the collapsible container 115. In some cases, an container neck may be inserted into the collapsible container 115 and glued or welded into the inter interface of the reinforcing strips 125. In such cases, the reinforcing strips 125 can become firm and provide a fulcrum or rigid support point to the hand squeezing the liquid edible material contained in the collapsible container 115. For example, a person opening the IPC 105 can utilize the reinforcing strips 125 to hold the IPC steady with one hand, and open the cap with the other hand. In some cases, in which the IPC 105 comprises a pump, a person can hold the IPC 105 via the reinforcing strips 125, with the palm and use the fingers to press the pump. For example, in case the IPC 105 comprises a pump, a person can close the palm around the reinforcing strips 125 in a fist-shaped gesture and clutch the IPC 105. Then, the person may use the index finger to push the pump and release a portion of a liquid edible material out of the IPC 105. The IPC 105 also comprises a cap-shaped cork 110 designed to close the IPC 105 and prevent the liquid edible material from being released outside. In some cases, the cap-shaped cork 110 can be screwed onto a spout. In some other cases, such a cork may be a lockable cork which can be locked by clicking the cork onto an IPC spout, as the spout may be a protrusive part corresponding to the inner side of the cap-shaped cork 110. In some cases, the cap-shaped cork 110 may be able to seal the IPC spout and prevent from the liquid edible material to pour out of the IPC 105.
Fig. 2 shows an IPC and a cork comprising a pump, in accordance with the disclosed subject matter. IPC 205 comprises a collapsible container 215 attached to reinforcing strips 225. The reinforcing strips 225 are attached to a bottom portion of a cap-shaped cork 235. IPC 205 also comprises pump 210 connected to the top of the cap-shaped cork 235. The pump 210 comprises a telescope shaped mechanism 240 configured to enable the pump 210 to move downwards and upwards, and thereby to draw out the liquid edible material from the collapsible container 215. In some cases, the pump 210 may be designed to draw up the liquid edible material from the collapsible container 215 as a result of pushing the telescope shaped mechanism 240 downwards, and to allow the liquid edible material to escape through orifice 230 as a result of loosening the pressure exerted on telescope shaped mechanism 240. For example, in case a soldier utilizes the IPC 205 with a liquid carbohydrate in a battlefield, the. soldier can bring the orifice 230 close to his mouth, press the pump 210 downwards using a finger, and then loosen the pressure on pump 210 to allow the telescope shaped mechanism 240 to stretch upwards, away from the container 215. Once the telescope shaped mechanism 240 has stretched upwards, the liquid carbohydrate may start to flow out via orifice 230 and thereby the soldier can consume the liquid carbohydrate directly to his mouth. In some cases, the pump 210 may be designed to release the liquid edible material in a form of aerosol. In some other cases, the pump 210 may be designed to release the liquid edible material in a form of liquid.
