Application No. 08/859,763
22. A container formed of at least one sheet of material
defining a cavity for housing a fluid product, the container
having a port assembly attached to an edge of the container,
the port assembly comprising:
a thin body having an outer face and an inner face
attached to the container, the thin body being bent around the
edge of the container for defining a pair of substantially
identical flaps, one on either side of the edge; and
a first tubular port projecting from the outer face of
the thin body and having a base end, a distal end and an
access opening extending through it for providing fluid
communication to the cavity, the base end being positioned
between the flaps substantially in alignment with the edge of
the container and spaced from any periphery of the thin body
wherein the dimension of each flap between the edge of the
container and a furthest distal edge of the flap is longer
than the distance between the base end and distal end of the
first tubular port.
