Description of Related Arts

In the United States, referring to FIG. 16 , there is 292.4 million tons of plastic waste yearly but only around 69 million tons of the plastic waste is recycled per year.
Conventional containers are generally categorized into two types flexible packaging and hard containers. Wherein the internal orifice is accessible with an external tubing that is independent of the structure of the package or container. Therefore, the tubing can get lost, damage, or misplaced. Furthermore, most beverage containers lack the various external adaptations for delivery of the final product. For example, a built-in tubing maybe an attachment to a straw like plastic or paper mount piece, or any dispensing apparatus. Additionally, the same built-in tubing may attach to a pressure cap, or a spray cap or a droplet cap for more precision dispensing.
Accordingly, some external tubing requires independent manufacturing, packaging, and additional material for storing the tubing portion separately. Therefore, the manufacturing cost of most flexible hard containers is relatively high while such flexible hard container do not provide interchangeable external attachments, with the initial purchase. Furthermore, presently when sterilizing or cleaning a flexible or hard container the process is a two-part process one for the container and the other for the dispensing arrangement.

In this step the re-sealable material 16 is permanently attached to the inner surface of the second container wall extension 11. It is important to mention the re-sealable materials 16 can be of any shape and of any chemical or material allow by the FDA approved.
It is important to mention that during steps D, the aluminum surface 43 of the plastic/aluminum film 80 are exposed, when all the plastic surfaces 42 of the plastic/aluminum film 80 beverage container 10 are folded, closed and sealed. For example, Step D illustrated the container 10 outer pouch 44 closed and housing the dispensing apparatus 17 including the zip-lock/zipper apparatus 8. In other words, all the seals of the dispensing apparatus 17 and all the functions of the zip-locker/zipper apparatus 8 are covered and have direct contact with the plastic surface 42 while the aluminum surface 43 is exposed to the environment. Therefore, the aluminum surface 43 is the area that always comes in contact with the user and can have visual designs or instructions, etc. It is important to mention that flap 9 along is sealed at the edge of the transverse cut 90 and positioned for ergonomic opening of the outer pouch 44. The punch holes 6 are positioned at the edges to provide fastener 98 locking support. It is important to mention that step D, illustrates, an air seal beverage container 10 final size and shape with an aluminum surface area exposure, all around the container 10, as all the previously mentioned seals, folds, cuts, and functions are working together.
Once the first container wall 21 and the second container wall 22 are folded along fold 71, The right edge 66 and the left edge 65 are further divided to the right upper edge 66′ and the left upper edge 65′. The right side edge 66 is sealed with the right upper edge 66′ along the vertical edge additionally the left side edge 67 is also sealed with the left upper edge 67′ at long the vertical edge, this allows for the two ziplock/zipper half's 102 and 101 to produce the Ziplock/zipper apparatus 8 and the ziplock/zipper apparatus 8 functions as one unit. During the step C, when the first container wall 21 and the second container wall 22 are folded along the fold 71, the fold 71 will unit the inner surface 42 of the second container wall 22 and the inner surface 42 of the fist container wall 21 and bring the ziplock halves together to create the beverage cavity 35 and will allowed the ziplock/zipper apparatus 8 to be close or open. Furthermore, now ziplock/zipper apparatus 8 separates on top the second container wall extension 11 from the external aluminum surface of the first container wall 21. Now the tubing 31 can be folded as a mouthpiece dispensing apparatus 17 and pre-position for housing within the inner pouch 44. Additionally, the tubing 31 body is illustrated attached to the inner plastic surface of the first container wall 21, wherein the extended portion of the tubing 31 is now folded over the external portion of the first container wall 21 to become the dispensing apparatus 17. It is important to mention the sealing material 16 may be attached to the inner plastic portion of the second container wall extension 11 now or previously at the same time the flap 9 was sealed on to the edge of the plastic/aluminum film 80.
During the step C to the step D, the transitional product of the beverage container 10 wherein the second container wall extension 11 is folded along the fold guide 24 toward the external surface area of the first container wall 21 to produce the inner pouch 44 and to house the ziplock/zipper apparatus 8 and the dispensing apparatus 17 with the re-sealable sealing material 16 in the second container wall extension 11. It is important to mention that the flap 9 is positioned to open the inner pouch 44 and the punch holes 6 are positioned at the edges to provide fastener support. It is important to mention that, during the step D, an air seal beverage container with aluminum surface area exposure that is filled or empty.
Referring to FIG. 7 , an alternative manufacturing process with vertical or horizontal machinery is illustrated, wherein the tubing 31 is first sealed onto the inner plastic surface 40 of the plastic/aluminum film 80 from the plastic/aluminum role 99. It is important to mention the composition of the container 10 can be of any physical material that has similar properties like plastic and aluminum. For example, the container 10 can be produced with only plastic, rubber, latex of any kind, or a combination of plastic and other elements zinc composites, and or metallic alloy, etc. The tubing 31 is mid-vertical, additionally the half of the zip-lock/zipper apparatus 102 is position parallel and perpendicular to the tubing 31 just like previously illustrated, with the exception that the tubing 31 is attached vertically on the inner plastic surface 40 of the second container wall 22 and it extends beyond the folding guide 24 and past the adhesive tape 23, as illustrated on FIG. 7 step B. It is important to mention in this example fold 71 also provides the complete zip-lock/zipper apparatus 8 function, by bringing together the inner plastic surfaces 42 and inner plastic surface 40 superimpose on the first container wall 21 and on the second container wall 22. Space consideration is also given to the placement of the tubing 31 to provide a space between the fold 71 and the orifice of the tubing 31, so that the orifice of the tubing 31 is not obstructed by the fold 71. Additionally, the two halves of the Zip-lock apparatus 8 102 and 101 are also positioned directly over each other, as illustrated in step C of FIG. 7 . It is important to mention the two halves of the zip-lock/zipper apparatus 8 in the first container wall 21 and in the second container wall 22 are pre-position equal distance from the fold 71. During step B FIG. 7 , fold 71 becomes the container bottom 71′, as illustrated in step C. Furthermore, the sealing along the right vertical edge 66′ and sealing along the left vertical edge 65′ are performed after producing fold 71. In other words, the sealing of the lower left edge 65 with the left upper edge 65′ divided by fold 71 and the sealing of the lower right edge 66 with the right upper edge 66′ also divided by fold 71 are require to sealed together along the vertical edge plastic surface 40 with the plastic surface 42 to produce the container cavity 33 within the container 10. The first container wall 21 along with the inner surface of the second container wall extension 11 produce the outer pouch 44 when the inner surface of the second container wall extension 11 is folded along the fold guide 24 onto the exterior first container wall 21 surface.
It is important to mention FIG. 6 and FIG. 7 are not identical but have similarities and share synergy in the teachings of the manufacturing process. Additionally, not all the external surfaces of the plastic/aluminum film 80 role are aluminum cover. In other words, other materials can be combined with plastic and utilized selectively to improve the designed or function of the container 10. The goal is to reduce utilization of unnecessary materials.
It is important to mention that not all the external surface of the plastic/aluminum film 80 role is aluminum cover, for example as illustrated in the step A of FIG. 7 , the non-aluminum portion 85 in the outer surface of the plastic/aluminum film 80 role, therefore the inner surface 42 is uninterrupted in the same production process mention earlier, for the beverage container 10. The external non-aluminum portion 85 area becomes the outer surface of the first container wall 21 and with the second container wall extension 11 also produces the inner pouch 44. The goals are to reduce unnecessary materials. During the step D in FIG. 7 , the final beverage container 10 is aluminum outer surface front and back when closed.
Referring to FIG. 8 , another alternative manufacturing process with vertical or horizontal machinery is illustrated, wherein the tubing 31 is not sealed onto the inner plastic surface 42 or on the first container wall 21 or on the inner plastic surface 40 of the second container wall 22. In this alternative manufacture process, the inner plastic surface 42 and the outer aluminum surface 43 of the first container wall 21 require a wall orifice 33 through both layers the plastic and aluminum in the first wall 21 and not in the second container wall 22. The first container wall 21 has the first container wall orifice 33. It is important to mention the tubing rapper 46 can be a cone shape or flat shape or any shape. As previously mentioned, the fold 71 separates the first container wall 21 and the second container wall 22. In this process the tubing 31 that becomes the dispensing apparatus 17 can be inserted through the first container wall orifice 33 and attached at the plastic surface 42 or the aluminum surface 43 to seal with the pre-selected sealer 69 and the tubing rapper 46, wherein the wall orifices 33 is seal with the dispensing apparatus 17, in any process of the industry stander sealing options or future sealing options approve by the FDA. In other words, the tubing 31, dispensing apparatus 17 or straw like material paper, metal glass or plastic can be sealed into the plastic surface 42 or into the aluminum surface 43 of the first container wall 21 before the beverage container 10 is produced or after the beverage container 10 is produced and permanently secure. Additionally, the tubing rapper 46 seals the tubing 31 surface area at a pre-designated location, with pre-designated sealers 69 that provides the tubing 31 the longest possible distance into the bottom of the beverage container 10, with consideration to fold 71, so that the orifice of the tubing 31 is not obstructed by the fold 71.
It is important to mention that the tubing seal 47 is pre-positioned and sealed onto the tubing 31 according to the exposed area during the production of the beverage container 10. For example, if the inner surface 42 on the plastic/aluminum film 80 exposes the first container wall orifice 33 for tubing 31 placement, then the tubing seal 47 is more proximal to the penetrating end on the tubing 31. If the outer surface of the plastic/aluminum film 80 exposes the first container wall orifice 33 then the tubing seal 47 is more distal to the penetrating end of the tubing 31, in relation to proving the tubing 31 the longest suction capacity. The first container wall orifice 33 and with consideration for tubing functionality. Furthermore, if the ziplock/zipper apparatus 8 in the beverage container 10 is completed then the tubing seal 47 is distally from the first end of the tubing 31 that penetrates the first container wall orifice 33, allowing for folding of the tubing 31 as a mouthpiece or straw like dispensing apparatus 17. In other words, the tubing seal 47 can be placed in any front or back plastic/aluminum film 80 exposure of the first container wall orifice 33.
Referring to FIG. 9 , another alternative manufacturing process with vertical or horizontal machinery is illustrated, wherein the tubing 31 is vertically sealed onto the inner plastic surface 42 of the plastic/aluminum film 80 within the area of the first container wall 21. It is important to mention the tubing 31 extends from the first container wall orifice 33 to the most proximal location, not to obstruct the fold 71 and allows for non-obstruction of the tubing 31 orifice, when fold 71 is produced. Furthermore, this type of manufacture allows the tubing 31 various different dispensing apparatus 17 like the straw attachment 17 or the cap attachment dispensing apparatus 17′, as illustrated in FIG. 9 . Furthermore, the dispensing apparatus 17 can also be an attachment with a mechanical spray or a manual dropper, dispensing in any desire unit.
Referring to FIG. 10 , teaches the manufacturing process with vertical or horizontal machinery production for sealing the dispensing arrangement 17 with the first container wall orifice 33 in the container 10, as illustrated. Step A. illustrates the first wall orifice 33. Above the first container wall orifice 33 is the tubing 31 with the pre-selected sealer sealed and the tube rapper 46 that has been sealed with the pre-selected sealer 69 to permanently attach the tube rapper 46 at a pre-selected location along the tubing 31 length. I this example, the tubing 31 penetrates through the first container wall orifice 33, it is important mention it does not matter if it is the plastic surface 42 or the aluminum surface 43. Preferably, it is the plastic surface 42 area. Once the tubing 31 is pushed through along with the pre-selected sealer 69 and along with the attached tube rapper 46 the first wall orifice 33 diameter is predesignated for allowing selected amount of the tube rapper 46. The pre-selected amount of the tubing rapper 46 that did not pass through the first wall orifice 33 diameter is called the unsealed rapper 63, it is used to seal onto the surrounding area on the plastic surface 42 or onto the aluminum surface 43 of the first container wall surface 21 depending on the desire container designed, as illustrated in FIG. 10 B. Furthermore, the manufacture tubing 31 and the tubing rapper 46 with the preselected seal 69 penetrated through the first wall orifice 33 diameter produces the dispensing apparatus 17 and or attachment to a dispensing apparatus 17′. The remaining tubing 31 in the inner plastic surface 42 will have a preselected size up to the fold 71 within the container cavity 35 of the container 10. The tubing 31 extension is from the bottom of the container cavity 35 to the exterior of container 10 and or beyond the first wall orifice 33. In one example, prior to the tubing 31 penetrating the first container wall orifice 33 the tubing 31 is sealed with the preselected sealer 69 and then with the tubing rapper 46. The tubing rapper 46 functions as a patch to connect and seal the container wall orifice 33 with the dispensing apparatus 17. The tubing rapper 46 produces a permanent seal with the tubing 31 and the plastic surface 42 or the aluminum surface 43 of the first container wall surface 21 (that is airtight). The unsealed rapper 63 of the tubing rapper 46 is additional material that attaches to the aluminum surface 43 or to the plastic surface 42 of the first container wall 21 surface to produce a patch like seal 68, as illustrated in FIG. 10 B.
Furthermore, when the unsealed rapper 63, is sealed in plastic surface 42 or in the aluminum surface 43 that seal converts to seal 68 and can be produce by applying pre-selected sealer 69, or a heat-sealing process, or a compression sealing processes including any other combination. Therefore, seal 68 can permanently position the tubing 31 and or the dispensing apparatus 17 without leakage from the container wall orifices 33. In other words, a cast tool 64 can be applied to provide direct pressure from the bottom surface or top surface depending on the type of container 10 and or the materials to make the seal 68 with counter pressure, injection of the pre-selected seal 69 that is mechanical, manually or robotic and with multiple process and diameters of the smaller cast tool 61, as illustrated in FIG. 10 A-C.
In other words, the major tool cast 64 and the minor tool cast 61 have a predesignated diameter or size to slide along the surface of the tubing 31, thereby the tubing 31 guides the minor tool cast 61 within the inner rim of the first container wall orifice 33. Preferably, the minor tool cast 61 is slightly smaller in diameter or size of the first container wall orifice 33. Furthermore, the minor tool cast 61 guides the bottom surface 52 of the major cast tool 64 to provide the sealing surface for a larger seal 68 and to produce any of the FDA approved chemicals, electrical, pressure, heating seals or combination that are industry standers for sealing containers 10 that com in contact with food. In other words, the diameter or size of the bottom surface of the major tool cast 64 and minor tool cast 61 produce the corresponding dimensions, size or shape of the seal 68.
As shown in view C of FIG. 10 , the major tool cast 64 and minor tool cast 61 can be removed as they are pulled out. In other words, the major cast tool 64 and the minor tool cast 61 have a predesignated diameter or size for sliding out allowing the tubing 31 to remain in place, once seal 68 has being produced with the inner surface 42 or outer surface 43 of the first container wall 21.
As shown in view B of FIG. 10 , the tubing 31, the tubing seal 69 and a predesignated portion of the tubing film 47 penetrate the first container wall orifice 33 from the inner surface 42 allowing for a residual of the tubing film 47 that is the unsealed end 63 that remain within the inner surface 42, and that is the portion of the tubing film 47 that will produce seal 67 with the inner surface 42 as the major cast 64 applies direct pressure from the bottom surface 52.
The first container wall orifice 33 is anywhere within the inner surface 42 of the first container wall 21 and the tubing 31 was penetrate the first container wall orifice 33. The remaining tubing film 47 is spread by the minor cast 61, as the minor cast 61 encloses onto the rim of the the first container wall orifice 33. It is important to mention the leg of the tubing film 47, the diameter of the first container wall orifice 33, the downward pressure of the tubing with the tubing seal 69 and the diameter or size of the minor cast 61 predetermined the length of the tubing rapper 46. is then sealed with the outer surface 45 or the inner surface 42 of the beverage container 10, the sealed is a physically, mechanically or chemically sealed by any of the industry standers approved for FDA beverage containers 10. It is important to mention in a vertical or horizontal manufacturing processes at the site of the fist container wall orifice 33 the production table or support will also have an orifice that allows for a portion of the tubing 31, tubing seal 69 and the tubing rapper 46 to extend past the first container wall orifice 33 inner surface 42, as illustrated in view B of FIG. 10 , for example.
As shown in view B of FIG. 10 , the major cast 64, and the minor cast 61 enclosing the first container wall orifice 33 after the tubing 31 has penetrated the first container wall orifice 33, as mentioned in FIG. 10 A. In other words, the major cast 64 and the minor cast 61 have a predesignated diameter or size to slide along the surface of the tubing 31, thereby the tubing 31 guides the minor cast 61 within the inner rim of the first container wall orifice 33. Preferably, the minor cast is slightly smaller in diameter or size of the first container wall orifice 33. Furthermore, the minor cast 31 guides the bottom surface 52 of the major cast 64 to provide the sealing surface for seal 67 and to produce any of the FDA approved chemicals, electrical, pressure, heating seals or combination that is or will be industry standers for beverage container 10. In other word, the diameter or size of the bottom surface 52 of the major cast 64 is the same dimensions, size or shape of the seal 67.
A shown in view C of FIG. 10 , the major cast 64 and minor cast 61 being remove as it is pulled out. In other words, the major cast 64 and the minor cast 61 have a predesignated diameter or size for sliding out allowing the tubing 31 to remain in place, once seal 67 has being produced with the inner surface 42 or outer surface 43 of the first container wall 21 or second container wall 22. It is important to mention that the major cast 64 and minor cast 61 are not able to slide cross the seal 67. In other words, the tubing 31 now has two seals one is the tubing seal 69 that is produce with the surface of the tubing 31 and the surface edge of the tubing film 47, the other seal is seal 67 that is produce with the unsealed end 63 of the surface edge of the tubing film 47 and the inner surface 42, or outer surface 43 of the fist container wall 21. Once, the tubing 31, the tubing seal 69 and the tubing film 47, have penetrated through the first container wall orifice 33. The remaining surface portion of the unsealed end 63 makes contact with the adhesive agent 38. The bottom surface of the cast major provides the pressure, electro, heat or surface area to create seal 67. Once the tubing film 47 has a seal 67 within the beverage container 10 and the tubing seal is also sealed, the tubing film becomes the tubing rapper 46. The tubing rapper 46 prevents any leaks within the first container wall orifice 33 and the tubing 31, also prevent any leaks with other dispensing arrangement 17. The tubing rapper 46 allows for rotation of the tubing 31 and anchors the tubing 31 to the fist container wall orifice 33. It is important to mention the minor cast 61, the bottom surface 52 of the major cast 64 and the major cast 64 can be one piece or multiple pieces and can also have a vertical separation 70 to open the minor cast 61, the major cast 64 and the bottom surface 52 to release the tubing 31 into the future inner cavity 35 as the inner tubing 20 in a later process is enclosed from the environment. In contrast the outer tubing 30 may attach to the dispensing arrangement 17 or may become the dispensing arrangement 17′ and that includes external exposure of the tubing rapper 46 with the tubing seal 69.
As shown in view A of FIG. 11 , an alternative process of attaching the tubing 31 onto the beverage container 10 is illustrated. In this process the tubing rapper 46 is also used to attach to the inner surface 42 or the outer surface 43 of the beverage container 10. In this example the tubing seal 69 does not penetrate the first container wall orifice 33.
Furthermore, the tubing seal 69 along with the tubing 31 penetrates the major tool cast 64 built-in orifice. The tubing 31 and the tubing rapper 46 have a predesignated seal location and diameter according to the type of size of the major tool cast 64 to produce seal 68. Preferably, this example are for (plastic surface 42 or aluminum surface 43), as it relates to the outer and inner surface of the container 10. It is important to mention that the aluminum surface 43 is always the outer surface of the container 10. It is important to mention that FIG. 10 and FIG. 11 illustrate the process and components required to create seal 68, in both examples it requires that the inner plastic surface 42 or outer aluminum surface 43 with counter surface apply to the first container wall 21 and the container wall orifice 33. Furthermore, the first container wall orifice 33 may or may not have a predetermined counter surface support.
As shown in view A of FIG. 12 , a counter surface support in relation to the outer surface of the first container wall orifice 33 is illustrated. Therefore, if the unsealed end 63 of the tubing rapper 46 is attaching onto the inner plastic surface 42 of the first container wall 21 or the outer aluminum surface 43 of the first container wall 21 then the counter surface is provided by the top surface 52′ of the major cast 64″ that is position on the outer aluminum surface 43 of the first container wall 21 and vice versa if the unsealed 10 end 63 of the tubing film 47 is attaching onto the outer surface 43 of the first container wall 21, then the counters surface is provided by the top surface 52″ of the major cast 64″ that is position on the inner surface 42′ of the first container wall 21, as the first container wall 21 may also be upside down (inverted). It is an alternative example from that of FIG. 10 .
