Sealed bag pre-filled with a decorating food product and having a decorating tip removably attached thereto and method for same

Abstract

A sealed bag prefilled with a decorating food product having a decorating tip removably attached thereto and a method of removably attaching a decorating tip to a sealed bag prefilled with a decorating food product, whereby the decorating food product contents of the sealed prefilled bag are decoratively dispensable through said decorating tip by squeezing said prefilled dispensing bag.

1 . A dispensing bag, comprising: 
 a flexible and collapsible sealed bag prefilled with a decorating food product, said sealed prefilled bag having at least one acutely angled corner;    an opening in said acutely angled corner;    a decorating tip coupler disposed over said opening and removably attached to said prefilled bag;    a decorating tip removably received by said decorating tip coupler, said decorating tip in communication with said opening in said prefilled bag;    whereby, in use, upon squeezing said prefilled bag, said decorating food product contents are decoratively dispensable through said decorating tip removable attached to said prefilled bag.    
     
     
         2 . The prefilled dispensing bag of  claim 1  wherein said decorating tip coupler includes an exteriorly threaded tubular member having a central through-bore, said coupler further including a mating threaded nut adapted to threadably receive said exteriorly threaded tubular member, said threaded nut having a through-bore coaxial with said central through-bore of said tubular member.  
     
     
         3 . The prefilled dispensing bag of  claim 2  wherein said decorating tip extends through said through-bore of said nut and wherein said decorating tip is coaxial with said central through-bore of said tubular member.  
     
     
         4 . The prefilled dispensing bag of  claim 3  wherein said opening in said prefilled bag extends from an edge of said acutely angled corner a distance away from said edge thereby creating at least two acutely angled bag ends.  
     
     
         5 . The prefilled dispensing bag of  claim 4  wherein said at least two acutely angled bag ends are disposed through said central through-bore of said tubular member and folded back and disposed between said exteriorly threaded tubular member and said mating threaded nut whereby said decorating tip coupler is removably attached to said prefilled bag.  
     
     
         6 . The prefilled bag of  claim 1  wherein said decorating food product is icing.  
     
     
         7 . The prefilled bag of  claim 6  wherein said icing is butter cream icing.  
     
     
         8 . The prefilled bag of  claim 7  wherein said butter cream icing is pre-colored.  
     
     
         9 . A prefilled dispensing bag, comprising: 
 a flexible and collapsible sealed bag prefilled with a decorating food product, said sealed prefilled bag having at least one acutely angled corner;    an opening extending from an edge of said acutely angled corner a distance away from said edge thereby creating at least two acutely angled bag ends, said opening exposing to atmosphere said decorating food product contents of said prefilled bag;    a decorating tip coupler comprising a tubular member and a mating threaded nut, said tubular member having a central bore therethrough, said at least two acutely angled bag ends disposed through said central bore, said at least two acutely angled bag ends folded back and disposed between said tubular member and said mating threaded nut such that said decorating tip coupler is removably attached to said prefilled bag;    a decorating tip removably received by said decorating tip coupler, said decorating tip having a through opening in communication with said opening in said prefilled bag disposed in said central bore of said tubular member;    whereby, in use, upon squeezing said prefilled bag, said decorating food product contents are decoratively dispensable through said decorating tip removable attached to said prefilled bag.    
     
     
         10 . The prefilled bag of  claim 9  wherein said decorating food product is icing.  
     
     
         11 . The prefilled bag of  claim 10  wherein said icing is butter cream icing.  
     
     
         12 . The prefilled bag of  claim 11  wherein said butter cream icing is pre-colored.  
     
     
         13 . A method of attaching a decorating tip to a sealed dispensing bag, said method comprising: 
 providing a sealed bag prefilled with a decorating food product, said sealed prefilled bag having at least one acutely angled corner;    providing a decorating tip coupler, wherein said decorating tip coupler includes an exteriorly threaded tubular member with a central through-bore, said decorating tip coupler further including and a mating threaded nut adapted to threadably receive said exteriorly threaded tubular member, said threaded nut having a through-bore coaxial with said central through-bore of said tubular member;    inserting a one end of a decorating tip through said through-bore of said threaded nut;    inserting said acutely angled corner of said sealed prefilled bag through said central through-bore of said tubular member;    cutting an opening in the acutely angled corner of the sealed prefilled bag projecting through the central through-bore of said tubular member, said opening extending from an edge of said acutely angled corner a distance away from said edge thereby creating at least two acutely angled bag ends;    folding said at least two acutely angled bag ends back onto said exterior threads of said tubular member;    threading said threaded nut having said decorating tip received therein onto said exterior threads of said exteriorly threaded tubular member and over said at least two acutely angled bag ends;    whereby said decorating tip coupler and said decorating tip received therein are removably attached to said prefilled bag and whereby said decorating food product contents of said prefilled bag are decoratively dispensable through said decorating tip by squeezing said prefilled bag.    
     
     
         14 . The method of  claim 13  wherein said decorating food product is icing.  
     
     
         15 . The method of  claim 14  wherein said icing is butter cream icing.  
     
     
         16 . The method of  claim 15  wherein said butter cream icing is pre-colored.
