FLEXIBLE TUBULAR CONTAINER AND METHOD OF MAKING IT

摘要

A flexible tubular container having at least one end gathered and bound by filamentary material (4) which is held in position by adhesive material. The container is advantageously made from a continuous length of flexible tube by gathering and constricting the tube (1) at spaced apart positions, winding filamentary binding material along a portion of the constricted tube, applying adhesive material to the binding material to fix the binding material in position and cutting the bound portion of the tube transversely (7) whereby a container sealed at each end is defined and separated from the adjacent portions of the flexible tube. The preferred adhesive is cyanoacrylate adhesive or hot-melt adhesive.
