Abstract:
1. A fitment for use on a collapsible bag for dispensing of liquids and semi-solids from the bag, the fitment comprising: (a) a spout comprising a generally hollow cylindrical body having an external surface capable of mating with a cap, the spout having at one end, a base portion for securing the spout to the collapsible bag; (b) a cap having an outer collar and an inner collar with the outer collar and the inner collar each having an inner and outer surface, the inner surface of the outer collar and the outer surface of the inner collar forming a cavity adapted to be removably attachable to the spout, the cap further comprising a hollow cylinder section comprising a proximal end and a distal end with each having an inner and outer surface, the cylinder section being fixedly attached at its distal end to the inner collar, the inner surface of the inner collar and the outer surface of the proximal end of the cylinder forming a cavity for attachment of a cap duckbill, the cap optionally comprising a flange fixedly attached to the outer surface of the outer collar; (c) a slidably removable probe; and (d) a substantially hollow cap duckbill adapted to mate with the cavity formed by the outer surface of the proximal end of the cylinder and the inner surface of the inner collar of the cap and which forms a seal within the fitment that is unsealed by insertion of the probe into the fitment through the hollow cylinder of the cap, the cap duckbill having a tapered end and an ejection end, the tapered end having a reversibly sealable slit capable of preventing fluid flow through the cap upon removal of the probe from the fitment.
