Abstract:
A package (1) comprising:a flexible wall (3) defining a chamber for a liquid product (2);an inner coupling device (4) located in said chamber within unopened portions (21) of said flexible wall (3);an outer coupling device (5) connectable to said inner coupling device (4) by moving said inner and outer coupling devices (4, 5) in a connecting direction (K) relative to each other; andsaid outer coupling device (5) penetrating said unopened portions (21) of the flexible wall (3) in a perforating direction (H) for discharging the liquid product (2) from said package (1), said connecting direction (K) being different from said perforating direction (H),said outer coupling device (5) including a coupling means (15) and a perforation means (6), said perforation means (6) being movable relative to said coupling means (15),said coupling means (15) having a connecting position relative to said inner coupling device (4) for locating said flexible wall (3) unbroken between said coupling means (15) and said inner coupling device (4),said perforation means (6) penetrating said flexible wall (3) in said perforating direction (H) when said coupling means (15) is located in said connecting position relative to said inner coupling device (4).
