WEDGE-SHAPED PORT FOR FLEXIBLE CONTAINERS

摘要

A wedge-shaped access port (18) for a flexible container (10) which is formed of at least one or more sheets of material (12) which are sealed together about the edges (14) to form a cavity (16). The wedge-shaped port (18) is sealed to the container (10) so that a base (22) of the wedge is exterior to the cavity (16) and a thin edge of the wedge is located inside the cavity (16). An orifice (20) in the port (18) provides a passageway from the base (22) of the wedge to the cavity (16). The wedge shape of the port (18) allows sealing of the port (18) to container (10) with minimal stress or thinning of material at the seal between the port (18) and the container (10).
