Abstract:
A container assembly including a pouch, spout and closure is provided. When the pouch and spout are attached, one or more cavities are formed between the inner surfaces of the sidewall of the pouch and the external surface of a mounting portion of the spout. One or both of the spout and pouch include a vent which provides for fluid communication between the cavity and the ambient environment on the outside of the pouch. The vents are configured to allow for pressure equalization of the cavity relative to the outside of the pouch during sterilization of the container assembly.

Claim (Index 1):
A container comprising:\n a pouch formed from a plastic material to define an interior for containing a substance and an open end into which the substance may be placed from the outside of the pouch; a fitment including a fluid-tight wall defining a flow channel through which the substance may flow with respect to the interior of the pouch;\n a sealing formation which is joined to the fitment and sealed to the material at the open end of the pouch with a fluid-tight seal to form a fluid-tight interface between the open end of the pouch and the fitment; \n a support formation which joins the fitment to the open end and supports the fitment relative to the open end such that the fitment, sealing formation, support formation and pouch material form at least one cavity at the interface; and \n a vent, in one of the support formation and the pouch material which forms the cavity, the vent providing a fluid passage between the cavity and outside of the pouch such that when the pressure of a fluid surrounding the pouch is changed, the vent permits the fluid to flow relative to the cavity to equalize the pressure within the cavity and at the outside of the pouch.
