CONTAINER WITH DISPENSING SPOUT AND METHOD FOR MAKING SAME

摘要

A container (10) for fluids or liquids such as beverages and the like is formed of flexible material such as plastic and includes a body (12) having an internal reservoir (14) and a tubular spout (30) extending upwardly from the body. The spout has an internal passage (32) in fluid communication with the reservoir. A constriction (34) in the container creates a low pressure zone in the passage downstream of the constriction as liquid flows from the reservoir into the spout. Means are also provided to inflate the spout as fluid flows along the internal passage. A method of forming fluid-filled containers from a tube (58) of flexible material and a method of forming a self-supporting fluidfilled container are also disclosed.
