Slide dispensing sealed pouch

Abstract

A double sided or two-chamber pouch having a finger ring and a slider for simultaneously dispensing the same flowable or different liquid product contents through a tear-open top or uncapped nozzle by which the mixed product contents can be sipped or sucked from the pouch or applied as a spread by an alternative user.

1 . A double sided pouch comprising:
 separated first and second chambers, each filled with flowable product content and each having a top end and a bottom end;   means for grasping the bottom end of each chamber;   means encircling the chambers for squeezing their product contents from the respective bottom ends of each chamber toward through the respective top ends of each chamber; and   means for dispensing the flowable product contents simultaneously out through the top end of each chamber;   with each chamber including top, middle and bottom overlying panels, with each panel having a moisture barrier inner layer separating top and bottom flexible plastic layers, and with all plastic layers being heat sealed together along edge surfaces thereof.   
     
     
         2 . The double sided pouch of  claim 1  wherein the flexible plastic layers of each panel are of polyethylene. 
     
     
         3 . The double sided pouch of  claim 1  wherein the moisture barrier layer of the top and bottom panels is of nylon and wherein the moisture barrier layer of the middle panel is of aluminum foil. 
     
     
         4 . The double sided pouch of  claim 1  wherein the flexible plastic layers of each panel are of polyethylene, wherein the moisture barrier layer of the top and bottom panels is of nylon, and wherein the moisture barrier layer of the middle panel is of aluminum foil. 
     
     
         5 . The double sided pouch of  claim 1  wherein said dispensing means includes a tear line extending from a first tear point to a second tear point in each of the top, middle and bottom overlying panels. 
     
     
         6 . The double sided pouch of  claim 1  wherein the separated first and second chambers are filled with different flowable product contents. 
     
     
         7 . The double sided pouch of  claim 6  wherein each chamber is filled with candy or confectionery product contents. 
     
     
         8 . The double sided pouch of  claim 1  wherein each of said overlying panels includes an opening adjacent the bottom end of the respective chamber formed thereof, and wherein said grasping means includes a finger ring inserted through each of said openings. 
     
     
         9 . The double sided pouch of  claim 8  wherein said finger ring includes an inner ring and an outer ring, with a top portion of the inner ring inserted through the opening of the top panel, with a bottom portion of the inner ring inserted through the openings of the middle and bottom panels, and with the outer ring permanently sealed between the top and middle panels. 
     
     
         10 . The double sided pouch of  claim 9  wherein said finger ring is composed of low density polyethylene. 
     
     
         11 . The double sided pouch of  claim 1  wherein said squeezing means includes a slider having a wide opening at a forward end thereof that gradually narrows to a fine opening at a rearward end thereof. 
     
     
         12 . The double sided pouch of  claim 11  wherein each of said overlying panels includes an opening adjacent the bottom end of the respective chamber formed thereof, wherein said grasping means includes a finger ring inserted through each of said openings, wherein said finger ring includes an inner ring and an outer ring, with a top portion of the inner ring inserted through the opening of the top panel, with a bottom portion of the inner ring inserted through the openings of the middle and bottom panels, and with the outer ring permanently sealed between the top and middle panels, wherein the top portion of the inner ring extends above the opening of the top panel and wherein the bottom portion of the inner ring extends below the opening of the bottom panel. 
     
     
         13 . The double sided pouch of  claim 12  wherein the slider is composed of low density polyethylene. 
     
     
         14 . A two-chamber pouch comprising:
 first, second and third overlying panels, with each panel having a moisture barrier middle layer separating pairs of top and bottom flexible plastic film layers;   with each pair of flexible plastic film layers of each panel being heat sealed together in forming a first and second chamber;   with each panel and layer having an opening forwardly of a rear end thereof in aligned relationship with one another;   a finger ring inserted through each of said openings, permanently sealed between said first and second panels or between said second and third panels;   a dry, liquid or flowable product content between said first and second panels, and between said second and third panels;   a slider movable along said first, second and third panels for squeezing both product contents simultaneously forward from the rear ends of said panels toward the front ends thereof; and   means for simultaneously dispensing said first and second product contents from the front ends of each of said first and second chambers.   
     
     
         15 . The two-chamber pouch of  claim 14  wherein the flexible plastic film layers of each panel are of polyethylene. 
     
     
         16 . The two-chamber pouch of  claim 15  wherein the moisture barrier middle layer of the first and third panels is of nylon and wherein the moisture barrier layer of the second panel is of aluminum foil. 
     
     
         17 . The two-chamber pouch of  claim 16  wherein said dispensing means includes a tear line extending from a first tear point to a second tear point in each of the first, second and third overlying panels.
