Flexible Container with Three-Dimensional Random Loop Material

Abstract

The present disclosure provides a flexible container (10). In an embodiment, the flexible container comprises a first multilayer film (12) and a second multilayer film (14). Each multilayer film comprises a seal layer. The multilayer films are arranged such that seal layers oppose each other and the second multilayer film is superimposed on the first multilayer film. The films are sealed along a common peripheral edge (16) to form a closed chamber (18). In one embodiment, a free moving sheet of three-dimensional random loop material (3DRLM) is located the closed chamber. In another embodiment, an oversized sheet (128) of 3DRLM is located in the closed chamber.

1 . A flexible container comprising:
 a first multilayer film and a second multilayer film, each multilayer film comprising a seal layer, the multilayer films arranged such that seal layers oppose each other and the second multilayer film is superimposed on the first multilayer film, the films sealed along a common peripheral edge to form a closed chamber; and   a free moving sheet of three-dimensional random loop material (3DRLM) in the closed chamber.   
     
     
         2 . The flexible container of  claim 1  wherein the flexible container comprises a fitment comprising a base; and
 the base is located between the multilayer films and the base is sealed to each multilayer film at a portion of the common peripheral edge. 
 
     
     
         3 . The flexible container of  claim 2  comprising a liquid in the closed chamber, wherein the sheet of 3DRLM contacts the liquid. 
     
     
         4 . The flexible container of  claim 3  wherein a squeezing force on the multilayer films compresses the sheet of 3DRLM and discharges the liquid through the fitment. 
     
     
         5 . A flexible container comprising:
 a first multilayer film and a second multilayer film, each multilayer film comprising a seal layer, the multilayer films arranged such that the seal layers oppose each other and the second multilayer film is superimposed on the first multilayer film, the films sealed along a common peripheral edge to form a closed chamber, the closed chamber having opposing inner surfaces;   an oversized sheet of three-dimensional random loop material (3DRLM) in the closed chamber, the oversized sheet having a first end and an opposing second end;   the first end and the second end of the oversized sheet of 3DRLM compressively engaging opposing surfaces of the closed chamber.   
     
     
         6 . The flexible container of  claim 5  wherein the oversized sheet of 3DRLM is in a compressed state. 
     
     
         7 . The flexible container of  claim 6 , wherein the flexible container comprises a fitment comprising a base, the base is located between the multilayer films; and
 the base is sealed to each multilayer film at a portion of the common peripheral edge.   
     
     
         8 . The flexible container of  claim 7 , comprising a liquid in the closed chamber. 
     
     
         9 . The flexible container of  claim 8  wherein a squeezing force on the multilayer films further compresses the sheet of 3DRLM and discharges the liquid through the fitment.
