A package comprising a cylindrical plastic tube closed at each end by an ultrasonic band seal. The seal at one end has a sealed region which is narrower than any portion of the other seal whereby squeezing of the package produces an immediate one-shot dispensing of liquid contained therein by causing rupture of the narrow region of the seal. Various package forms include perpendicularly arranged bands to provide a tetrahedral shape, a tab extending beyond one seal to provide identification of the contents of the package, notched seals providing a tear open package, and a multiple package construction in which one fluid containing tube is contained within another.

An animal toy includes a plastic drinking straw having a sealed first end, a sealed opposite second end, and an internal cavity. An animal attracting substance is disposed within the internal cavity. At least one hole is punched in the plastic drinking straw so that an aroma from the animal attracting substance seeps through the hole and attracts a small animal.
A package is disclosed herein which may contain a fluid material which is capable of being discharged from the package by the application of manual pressure from a thumb and a forefinger to the package so as to cause the package to burst in a controlled fashion to discharge the fluid material contained within the package. The package may comprise a second chamber which receives the fluid material discharged from the first chamber after the first chamber is burst by manual pressure so as to further control the rate and manner of discharge of the fluid material from the package.
A container having flexible side walls includes a plurality of tubular members mounted within the container in contiguous communication with the side wall, wherein flexure of the side walls in adjacency to selective ones of the tubular members effects rupture of the tubular members to disperse flavoring within the container as desired. Further, the tubular members contain at least one of the tubular members formed with a pump mechanism to circulate fluid from the container through the flavoring of the tubular member.
A pouch package system is fabricated from a compliant plastic film tube that includes a series of separate compartments formed by a plurality of transverse seals spaced along the tube. Contiguous pairs of compartments are mutually separated by means of the seals and are hermetically sealable for storing reactive materials under anaerobic conditions. A flexible narrow flattened conduit communicates each contiguous pair of compartments across the separating seal and comprises an unsealed portion in a common plane wherein the facing surfaces of the tube are joined. During storing of the materials the compartments are isolated by closing the conduit with a kink thereacross formed by a fold in the separating seal. Flattening the fold removes the kink to open the conduit. The separated materials are then combined and mixed by kneading the tube.
A packaged grease composition for lubrication of fifth wheels on tractor-trailers or similar vehicles is disclosed. The packet consists of a grease composition sealed in a thin walled plastic envelope. The grease filled envelope is placed on the base plate of the fifth wheel and the envelope readily ruptures under pressure when the plates forming the fifth wheel come together releasing the grease to lubricate the plates. The plastic subsequently disintegrates as these plates rotate on each other leaving no environmental waste to dispose of. The envelope may come in different shapes or the lubricant or envelope may be color coded to indicate the type of lubricant contained within the envelope.
