2. A collapsible container as claimed in claim 1 wherein the shunt comprises a plurality of shunt passageways bridging between the inboard sides of the compartments placing the two compartments in communication through their inboard sides at a plurality of locations from the open end to their closed end.
3. A collapsible container as claimed in claim 1 wherein the shunt places the two compartments in communication continuously from their open ends substantially to their closed ends.
4. A collapsible container as claimed in claim 1 wherein in collapsing the outboard side and inboard side of each compartment are drawn together.
5. A collapsible container as claimed in claim 1 wherein each compartment extends about a longitudinal axis from their open end to their respective closed end with the longitudinal axis of each compartment being parallel.
6. A collapsible container as claimed in claim 1 wherein each compartment extending about a longitudinal axis from their open end to their respective closed end with the longitudinal axis of each compartment being parallel, the shunt comprises a plurality of shunt passageways bridging between the inboard sides of the compartments placing the two compartments in communication through their inboard sides at a plurality of spaced locations from the open ends to the closed ends, the passageways spaced from each other in a direction the longitudinal axes extend.
7. A collapsible container as claimed in claim 1 wherein the shunt provides communication between containers in all conditions of the containers in collapsing from the inflated condition to the collapsed condition.
8. A collapsible container as claimed in claim 7 wherein the shunt is not collapsible.
9. A collapsible container as claimed in claim 2 wherein the passageways provide communication between containers in all conditions of the containers in collapsing from the inflated condition to the collapsed condition.
10. A collapsible container as claimed in claim 2 wherein the passageways are not collapsible.
11. A collapsible container as claimed in claim 5 wherein the container has a generally H-shape in cross-section normal to the longitudinal axes with the shunt forming a cross member of the H-shape.
12. A collapsible container as claimed in claim 1 wherein each compartment extending about a longitudinal axis from its open end to its respective closed end, each compartment having a thickness measured between the outboard side and inboard side normal the longitudinal axis, and a width measured normal to both the thickness and the longitudinal axis, in cross-section normal to its longitudinal axis, each tubular compartment being elongate in its width relative to its thickness.
13. A collapsible container as claimed in claim 12 wherein a maximum width of each container is greater than a maximum depth of each container.
14. A collapsible container as claimed in claim 12 wherein each container has a shape in cross section normal its longitudinal axis selected from a racetrack shape, an elliptical shape, and a diamond shape.
15. A collapsible container as claimed in claim 1 wherein the container is blow molded from plastic material as a unitary element.
16. A collapsible container as claimed in claim 5 wherein the shunt includes a continuous elongate channelway extending parallel to the longitudinal axis of the compartments between the compartments, the channelway open at one end to the outlet opening, the channelway open on a first side of the channelway through the inboard side of one of the compartment into the one compartment and open on a second side of the channelway through the inboard side of a second of the compartments into the second compartment.
17. A collapsible container as claimed in claim 16 wherein the channelway is generally cylindrical about a channelway axis parallel the longitudinal axes of the compartments, a plurality of cylindrical passageways spaced along the channelway, a first set of the passageways extending from a first side of the channelway about an axis transverse to the channelway axis from the channelway through the inboard side of the one compartment into the one compartment, a second set of passageways extending from a second side of the channelway about an axis transverse to the channelway axis from the channelway through the inboard side of the second compartment into the second compartment, the plurality of passageways placing each of the two compartments in communication with the channelway through their inboard sides at a plurality of locations from their open ends substantially to their closed ends.
18. A collapsible container as claimed in claim 17 wherein the channelway being substantially non-collapsible and the passageways being substantially non-collapsible such that in the compartments collapsing from the inflated condition toward the collapsed condition, each compartment remains in communication with the outlet opening via the passageways and channelway at multiple locations spaced along their length where the passageways connect with the compartments.
19. A collapsible container having an outlet opening and two collapsible tubular compartments, each compartment extending beside the other compartment from a respective open end of each compartment opening into the outlet opening away from the outlet opening to a respective closed end of each compartment, each compartment having a outboard side and an opposed inboard side with the inboard side of one compartment facing the inboard side of the other compartment, each compartment being collapsible from an inflated condition in which the container is filled with fluid toward a collapsed condition by the withdrawn of fluid from the outlet opening, wherein in the inflated condition and the inboard side and outboard side of each compartment are spaced, and wherein in collapsing from the inflated condition toward the collapsed condition the outboard side and inboard side of each compartment move relatively towards each other, an elongate shunt located between the inboard sides of the compartments placing the two compartments in communication through their inboard sides along the length of the shunt with an end of the shunt open to the outlet opening, in collapsing of the compartments from the inflated condition toward the collapsed condition the shunt maintaining communication between the two compartments and the outlet opening substantially along length of the compartments.
20. A collapsible container having an outlet opening and at least two collapsible tubular compartments, each compartment extending from a respective open end of each compartment opening into the outlet opening away from the outlet opening to a respective closed end of each compartment, each compartment adapted to collapse laterally with withdrawal of fluid from the outlet opening of the container, a central elongate shunt channelway located between the two compartments extending therebetween with an open end at one end open to the outlet opening, the channelway open laterally at a plurality of locations along its length to the each of the compartments at a plurality of locations along the length of each compartment, the channelway being substantially non-collapsible whereby the channelway maintains the two compartments in communication with the outlet opening along the length of the compartments as the compartments collapse.
21. A collapsible container having an outlet opening and two collapsible tubular compartments, each compartment extending beside the other compartment from a respective open end of each compartment opening into the outlet opening, a shunt channelway between the compartments placing the two compartments in communication laterally at a plurality of locations along the length of the compartments from the open end substantially to the closed end.
