Abstract

Abstract A method for the production of aseptic packings, particularly a single use packing such as an ampoule, etc., comprises a plurality of oppositely directed substantially identical indentations on a foil on each side of a fold line. Thereafter, the foil material is folded along the fold line to align the indentations so that they form half portions of individual containers. The foil sections are welded or otherwise sealed together so that they close the container around the juncture line. Each container indentation includes a neck portion terminating in an outwardly widening funnel opening adjacent the edge of the foil material. The individual containers are then filled through the funnel and the neck portion is thereafter sealed directly below the bottom of the funnel by pressure welding. The area adjacent the closed weld line is provided with tear lines to facilitate easy opening and removal of the contents from the containers. An aseptic packing comprises a strip of two superposed foil sheets, each having aligned recessed portions forming container halves which together form a complete closed container which is closed around the periphery by the foil material. The strip includes tear line portions for both separating individual containers from the strip and for opening the mouth of each container.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim 201 words
A one time use package comprising a container having a body portion, an elongated mouth extending outwardly from said body portion, said container comprising two superposed sheets, each sheet having a container half portion in the indentation forming a half of said body portion, said sheets extending on each side of said body portion and being welded together at their areas external to said body portion and being welded above said mouth to seal the top of said mouth and close it, in a break line defined on said sheets extending on each side of said mouth along substantially straight lines at a spaced location from the top of said mouth and terminating in downwardly extending portions extending in close proximity to each side of the mouth of said body portion at the level of the top of said mouth, said break lines being tearable to effect tearing along a smooth, straight line at a spaced location above the top of said mouth up to each side of said mouth and then downwardly to the plane of the top of said mouth so that any rough tearing across the top of said mouth is recessed from the smooth tear edge lines.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 201 words
A one time use package comprising a container having a body portion, an elongated mouth extending outwardly from said body portion, said container comprising two superposed sheets, each sheet having a container half portion in the indentation forming a half of said body portion, said sheets extending on each side of said body portion and being welded together at their areas external to said body portion and being welded above said mouth to seal the top of said mouth and close it, in a break line defined on said sheets extending on each side of said mouth along substantially straight lines at a spaced location from the top of said mouth and terminating in downwardly extending portions extending in close proximity to each side of the mouth of said body portion at the level of the top of said mouth, said break lines being tearable to effect tearing along a smooth, straight line at a spaced location above the top of said mouth up to each side of said mouth and then downwardly to the plane of the top of said mouth so that any rough tearing across the top of said mouth is recessed from the smooth tear edge lines.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 36 words
An aseptic packing, according to claim 1, including a protection perforation line defined around the periphery of said container on said sheet material to permit removal of the outline of said container from said sheet material.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 19 words
As aseptic packing, according to claim 1, wherein said sheet material is provided with severance lines between adjacent containers.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 85 words
An aseptic packing, according to claim 1, wherein a row of containers are formed along said sheet, each container in said row being separated by a tear line, one end of said sheet having inwardly extending indentations extending into said tear line between said containers, said break line being defined across said sheets adjacent the top of the mouth of said containers and spaced from the opposite edge of said containers, said break line including downwardly curved ends terminating on each side of said mouth.
