Composite container with internal fitment

摘要

A composite container for storing product in a hermetically-sealed volume includes a fitment that forms one end of the container. The fitment has an outer face, an inner face, a perimeter edge with an attachment surface formed therein, and an aperture between the outer face and the inner face with an aperture mount configured to receive and secure a closure for sealing the aperture of the container. The fitment also includes a sealing surface on the inner face that surrounds the aperture, and a products pouch with a pouch opening that is sealed to the sealing surface. The fitment further includes a can having a first end that is coupled to the attachment surface of the fitment and a substantially-rigid tubular body extending away from the fitment to form an interior volume that surrounds the products pouch.

1. A composite container for storing product in a sealed hermetically sealable volume, the container comprising:
a can having a spirally wound substantially-rigid cylindrically shaped can sidewall defining an interior volume, a top end defining an opening and a bottom end on which the can may rest during use, the top end comprising a bead; a substantially cup-shaped fitment comprising a substantially disc-shaped portion covering the opening and defining an aperture and having an inner face, an outer face and a perimeter, a skirt extending upwardly from the perimeter of the covering portion and having an attachment surface formed therein, the attachment surface defining a groove for receiving the bead at the top end of the can, an aperture mount extending upwardly from the covering portion and having a central bore that communicates with the aperture, and a protrusion extending downwardly from the inner face and surrounding the aperture, the protrusion having a sealing surface facing away from the aperture; a products pouch disposed within the interior volume and having an airtight body with a pouch opening, the products pouch being heat sealed directly to the sealing surface with a hermetic seal to form a hermetically sealable inner volume; and a closure mountable to the aperture mount and configured to seal the aperture, the closure having a dispensing end located outside the hermetically sealable volume and an intake end located inside the hermetically sealable volume.
