Filed:

Oct 11, 1991

Appl. No.:

7/775807

Inventors:

Kenneth A. Johnsen - Piscataway NJ
Frank Freeman - Lawrenceville NJ

Assignee:

E. R. Squibb - Princeton NJ

International Classification:

A61F 544

US Classification:

604332

Abstract:

An annular mounting member is bonded to the pouch wall to define a vent opening. The mounting member is made of material which is compatible with the pouch film and has a smooth exterior surface adapted to facilitate removable mounting of an adhesive coated element in alignment with the opening. The element may be a deodorizing filter assembly including a filter disk surrounded by an annular border member coated with pressure sensitive adhesive or a gas impermeable cover member designed to close the vent.

Appl. No.:

7/017895

Inventors:

Ole R. Jensen - River Vale NJ
Walter F. Leise - Yardley PA
Frank M. Freeman - Lawrenceville NJ

Assignee:

E. R. Squibb & Sons - Princeton NJ

International Classification:

B65D 3000

US Classification:

383127

Abstract:

The container has an elongated port section formed of a flexible cylindrical wall. A first tube member is lodged within the wall at a location spaced from the end thereof. A second tube member is forceably inserted within the first tube member, engaging a section of the wall therebetween. The engaged wall section may include a double wall thickness. One of the tube members is composed of substantially non-elastic material and the other is composed of relatively elastic material. The elastic member will deform so as to tightly seal the wall section. A detent may be present on one of the tube members to cooperate with a detent receiving recess on the other to enhance the strength of the seal. Any conventional drain valve or tubing can be connected to the protruding end of the second tube member.
