A tamper-evident outer cap for a tube spout fitment with push-pull cap for a flexible pouch is provided. The tube spout fitment is sealed to the pouch body, and includes a base portion having a seal-engaging surface disposed within the pouch body and a centrally located passageway. An internal tubular spout projects upwardly from the base portion and has a centrally located passageway. A push-pull cap is slidably retained on the internal tube spout, and is a generally cylindrical member having an outer wall, an inner wall parallel to the outer wall, and an upper wall having a central opening formed therein interconnecting the outer wall to the inner wall. A tamper-evident outer cap is disposed over the push-pull cap, and includes an openable portion, a collar portion permanently retained on the tube spout fitment, and a first connecting member interconnecting the openable portion and the collar portion.

The invention claimed is: 1. A tube spout fitment mounted within an opening of a container so as to provide access to the contents of the container, the tube spout fitment comprising: a base portion having a base portion passageway and an internal tube spout projecting upwardly from the base portion, the internal tube spout having a centrally located passageway in communication with the base portion passageway, a first portion, a second portion, and a fourth flange interconnecting the first portion to the second portion, wherein the first portion is narrower than the second portion, the internal tube spout further including a uniform outer wall having a generally smooth surface; a first stop disposed on the upper edge of the internal tube spout, the first stop being defined by an annular rib projecting outwardly from the uniform outer surface of the internal tube spout; a push-pull cap slidably retained on the internal tube spout, the push-pull cap movable between a closed and open position, wherein the push-pull cap is a tubular member having an outer wall and an inner wall, wherein the outer wall includes a smooth and uniform inner surface, and a central opening, wherein the inner surface of the outer wall of the push-pull cap is spaced apart from the outer wall of the internal tube spout; a second stop, the second stop having an annular rib extending outwardly from the inner surface of the outer wall, and wherein the second stop is in contact with the outer wall of the internal tube spout and is configured to engage the first stop so as to retain the push-pull cap on the internal tube spout; and a plug disposed within the internal tube spout wherein the plug includes a passage, interconnecting the centrally located passageway to the central opening, the plug further including a disc and a plurality of legs spaced apart from each other, wherein the disc includes an opening, and wherein each of the plurality of legs extends from an outer edge of the disc to the inner surface of the internal tube spout, and wherein each of the plurality of legs further includes a foot, wherein a portion of each of the plurality of legs is disposed within the first portion of the internal tube spout and each foot is disposed within the second portion of the internal tube spout, and wherein each foot is operable to engage the fourth flange so as to maintain the plug within the internal tube spout, and wherein the contents of the container are accessible through the passage when the push-pull cap is slid into the open position. 2. A tube spout fitment as set forth in claim 1, wherein the inner wall of the push-pull cap defines an inner wall passage interconnecting the central opening of the push-pull cap to the centrally located passageway of the internal tube spout. 3. A tube spout fitment as set forth in claim 1, further including a seal disposed between the opening of the disc and the central opening of the push-pull cap so as to retain the contents of the container therein, wherein the seal is broken when the push-pull cap is slid to the open position so as to provide access to the contents of the container. 4. A tube spout fitment as set forth in claim 1, wherein the internal tube spout further includes a gripping portion defined by a first flange spaced apart from a second flange, wherein the gripping portion provides a surface for handling the tube spout fitment. 5. A tube spout fitment as set forth in claim 4, further including a third flange disposed on the internal tube spout, wherein the third flange is spaced apart from the second flange and provides a stop for the push-pull cap. 6. A tube spout fitment as set forth in claim 1 wherein the first stop extends horizontally from the uniform outer surface of the internal tube spout fitment, and wherein the second stop extends horizontally from the inner surface of the outer wall of the push-pull cap.
