| 20100129008 | Laminate for a bag for flowable material having an oriented polypropylene, and a bag made therefrom - A bag for a flowable material comprising a plurality of walls coupled together by way of a plurality of seals to define a substantially fluid tight cavity. The plurality of walls each comprising a laminate structure comprising a sealant layer of a polyethylene material, a core layer of an oriented polypropylene material, and a cap layer of an EVOH material. | 05-27-2010 |
| 20110011897 | Tap - A tap for use in association with bag in box containers including a body, a plug member and a drip limiting assembly. The body includes a tap nozzle with a dispensing opening. A nozzle opening is placeable in fluid communication the dispensing opening and with a bag of a bag in box container. The plug member has a second end structurally configured to interface with the dispensing opening and with the plug member. The plug member is selectively actuatable between a closed orientation and an open orientation. In the open orientation, the nozzle opening is in fluid communication with the dispensing opening. In the closed orientation, the nozzle opening is precluded from fluid communication with the dispensing opening. The drip limiting assembly is disposed at the dispensing opening. The drip limiting assembly limits the formation of drips after the plug member is returned to a closed orientation. | 01-20-2011 |
| 20110011898 | Tap - A tap for use in association with bag in box containers comprising a body, a plug member, an upper seal assembly and a lower seal assembly. The body includes a tap nozzle in the form of an elongated tube having an inner surface and an outer surface, a handle opening at a first end and a dispensing opening at the second end. A nozzle opening extendsinto the elongated tube between the first and second ends and is placeable in fluid communication with a bag of a bag in box container. The plug member is structurally configured to fit and slidably move within the elongated tube of the body such that the outer surface of the plug member faces the inner surface of the elongated tube. In the open orientation, the nozzle opening is in fluid communication with the dispensing opening. In the closed orientation, the nozzle opening is precluded from fluid communication with the dispensing opening. The upper seal assembly includes an upper seal surface region and an upper seal bead positioned between the nozzle opening and the handle opening of the body. The upper seal assembly maintains continuous sealing engagement between the closed orientation and the open orientation of the tap. | 01-20-2011 |
