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 8):
A fitment for 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, the fitment comprising;\n a wall having an exterior surface and an interior surface defining a flow channel extending between a first opening and a second opening; a sealing formation formed on the exterior surface and sealable 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 wall; a support formation formed on the exterior surface and joinable to the open end to form a cavity between the wall, sealing formation, support formation and pouch material; and a vent in the support formation which provides 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.
