ROLT~D-UP PACKAGING SYSTEM_AND METHOD
Technical Field This invention relates generally to a packaging system and method and more particularly to an inflatable bag adapted to be rolled-up to assume a spiralled con-figuration for retaining an article therein.
Backqround Art U.S. Patent No. 4,597,244, issued on July 1, 1986 to Daniel A. Pharo for "Method For Forming An Infla-ted Wrapping," discloses a packaging system and method wherein an article is packaged within an inflated, sealed bag. The present invention provides certain improvements and variations over the packaging system and method taught in Applicant's above patent.
Disclosure of Invention The packaging system of this invention compri-ses a rolled-up bag generally assuming a spiralled con-figuration and defining a chamber therein adapted to be at least substantially filled with a filler medium. An open-ended pouch is formed on the bag for retaining an article therein with the pouch being disposed within the confines o~ overlying rolled-up portions of the bag. A
filling means is provided for at least substantially charging the chamber with the filler medium to at least substantially encapsulate and support the pouch and arti-cle within the rolled-up portions of the bag.
13~2~
In carrying forth the method steps of this - invention, a pac~age is first formed to comprise the inflatable bag and open pouch, an article is placed in the pouch, the bag is rolled-up to dispose the pouch and S article within the confines of the bag, and the bag is at least partially filled with the filler medium to retain the article therein. In certain packaging applications, the bag is placed in a box either before or after the article is placed in the pouch.
Brief Description of the Drawinqs Other objects and advantages of this invention will become apparent from the following description and accompanying drawings wherein:
Figure 1 is a perspective view illustrating a rolled-up bag, embodying a packaging system of this invention, being inserted into a box;
Figure 2 is a perspective view illustrating disposition of the bag in the closed box and means for inflating the bag;
Figure 3 is an exploded isometric view illus-trating three panels utilized to form the bag and an article-retaining pouch thereon;
Figure 4 is an isometric view illustrating the formed bag with its panels sealed together to define the pouch and an article adapted to be inserted into the pouch;
~v~

Figure 5 is an isometric view illustxating ini-tial rolling-up of the bag to form its spiralled configu-ration illustrated in Figure l; and Figure 6 is an isometric view, partially illus-trating a modified bag.
Best Mode of Carrying Out the Invention Figures 1 and 2 illustrate a packaging system 10 comprising a rolled-up bag 11 adapted to be placed within a closeable box or carton 12. As described more fully hereinafter, an open-ended pouch or pocket 13 is formed on the bag for retaining an article 14 therein, such as a gift. When the bag assumes its spiralled con-figuration illustrated in Figures 1 and 2, the pouch and article are disposed within the confines of overlying rolled-up portions of the bag.
When the rolled-up bag is positioned in box 12, closure flaps 15 of the box are superimposed and sealed together in a conventional manner. Filling means, shown in the form of a filling stem 16 of the bag, extends through an slot-like opening 17, formed through a side panel of box 12, to facilitate at least partial filling of the bag with a filler medium, such as pressurized air.
In the embodiment illustrated, a filling tube 1~, suit-ably connected to a pressurized air source (not shown), is inserted through a cut line 19 formed in stem 16.
After the bag has been inflated to charge a closed chamber defined within the bag with air to at least substantially encapsulate and support pouch 13 and ~L3~Z9~
5.
article 14 within rolled-up portions of the bag, the stem is sealed by a heat-induced seam 20 formed transversely across the filling stem, as depicted by dash lines 20 in Figure 2. The stem is then inserted into the box, through slot-like opening 17, to ready the formed packag-ing system for consumer consumption. The opening can be closed and sealed by a standard adhesive tape.
As shown in Figure 3, bag 11 is preferably formed from a pair of overlying first and second panels 22 and 23, respectively. The panels are preferably at least generally rectangular and have outer peripheral edges thereof heat-sealed, glued or otherwise suitably secured togethPr to define an inflatable chamber therebetween. The substantially co-extensive panels are sealed together about their peripheries in a conventional manner to define opposite first and second seams 24 and 25 at the ends of the bag and opposite side seams 26 and 27. Alternatively, the panels could be preformed as a tube, i.e., seamless at 25 and 27.
As shown in Figure 4, pouch 13 is formed by a third panel 28 secured on first panel 22 to define an open pocket adapted to retain article 14 therein. Third panel 28 is secured to the bag at first end seam 24 and side seams 26 and 27 to define the pocket so that its open side faces towards second end seam 25. Filling stem 16 extends outwardly from second end seam 26 and comprises overlying stem portions 2~ and 30 of first and second panels 22 and 23, respectively, sealed together at ~L3JJ~
6.
peripheral edge portions thereof to define an inlet pass-age adapted to communicate pressurized air or the like to the inflatable chamber of the bag.
Each panel 22, 23, and 28 is preferably com-posed of a gas-impervious composite laminate, such as the type described in above-referenced U.S. Patent No. 4,597,244. For example, each flexible panel may com-prise an intermediate layer of aluminum, and outer and inner layers of a plastic heat-sealable coating, such as polyethylene, adapted to reactivate (melt) in the range of 300 F. These types of composite laminates (which may be constructed to be highly flexible and inextens-~ble or extensible) are well known in the art and, therefore, further description thereof is deemed unnecessary to con-vey a full understanding of this invention. It should be understood that different types of film materials can be utilized to construct the panels to afford them various qualities, e.g., anti-static, anti-magnetic, vinyl, rubber, etc.
In the preferred embodiment of this invention, the widths of panels 22 and 23, between side seams 26 and 27, are substantially less than the lengths of the panels between end seams 24 and 25. For example, the lengths of these panels are preferably at least approximately three times greater than the widths thereof. The length of third or pouch panel 28, between end seams 24 and 25, is preferably selected from the approximate range of from one-tenth to four-tenths of the lengths of panels Z2 and 23.
It should be understood that various modifi-cations can be made to the packaging system of this invention without departing from the spirit and scope of this invention. For example, Figure 6 partially illus-tra~es a modified bag 11' wherein panels 22 and 23 are heat-sealed together along a plurality of parallel and laterally spaced longitudinal seams 31 extending between the end seams of the bag. Seams 31 secure the panels together to form the chamber of the bag into a plurality of subcham~ers 3z with the seams terminating short of second end seam 25 to communicate the subchambers with each other upon filling thereof with a filler medium, such as pressurized air.
Figure 6 further illustrates the use of an optional filling means, shown in the form of a valve 33 secured to filling stem 16 or a valve 34 secured to one of the panels 22 and 23. One of the valves can be uti-lized in lieu of cut line 19. With the use of valve 33,cut line 19 can be eliminated from stem portion 29. When valve 34 is used, stem portion 16 could be eliminated, if so desired, with end seam 25 extending fully across the end edges of panels 22 and 23. Inflation valves 33 and 34 may be of the type disclosed in U.S. Patent No. 4,586,910.
As briefly described above, when rolled-up bag 11 is inserted into box 12, as illustrated in Figure 2, a ~3V2~
standard inflation apparatus, including filler tube 18, can be utilized to charge and pressurize the inflatable chamber of the bag with air to an inflation pressure exceeding ambient pressure, e.g., exceeding 14.7 psi at sea level. In general, it is desirable that the bag's maximum air volume capacity approximate 150% of the total volume of box 12. When valve 34 is utilized (Figure 6), the bag can be filled when closure flaps 15 of the box are open to expose the valve.
Human lung power could also be utilized to in-flate the chamber of the bag with air. Other types of gases, such as helium, could be utilized as the filler medium, as well as a suitable liquid, such as water.
Alternatively or in addition to the pressurized fluid, the chamber could be at least partially filled with a plastic material (e.g., urethane, polystyrene, etc.~ in solid (injected in liquid form and allowed to solidify) or piece form (e.g., balls or pellets).
Panels 22, 23, and 28 can be suitably cut and sealed together by conventional apparatus and methods, such as those described in U.S. Patent No. 4,545,844.
Bead seal 20 can be suitably formed by sealing apparatus, such as the type described in UOS. Patent No. 4,597,244, i.e., the impulse table top bag sealer Model 210-8 manu-factured by A.I.M. Plastics, Inc. of Mount Vernon, NewYork. The open end of pouch panel 28 could be suitably heat-sealed to panel 22 after article 14 is inserted into pouch 13, and prior to when bag 11 is rolled-up.
;~3(~
It should be understood that bag 11 could be used as a complete packaging system without the use of box 12.
Further, the deflated bag could be loosely placed or secured in box 12 prior to insertion of article 14 into pouch 13. The deflated bag could be glued or otherwise suitably secured to the bottom or sidewalls of the erected box or secured to one of the sidewalls when the box is in its flattened blank form, i.e., prior to gluing of the manufacturer's glue flap, not shown, to an adjacent sidewall of the box blank. The latter arrangement contemplates formation of opening 17 through a sidewall of the box to provide access for stem 16, i.e., the bag would be orientated ninety degrees from its Figure 1 disposition. The article could be placed in pouch 13 when the box blank and pouch are flattened or could be placed in the pouch after the blank has been erected to box form with the bag lift partially on spiralled to provide access to the pouch and then spiralled with the article placed in the pouch.

article 14 within rolled-up portions of the bag, the stem is sealed by a heat-induced seam 20 formed transversely across the filling stem, as depicted by dash lines 20 in Figure 2. The stem is then inserted into the box, through slot-like opening 17, to ready the formed packag-ing system for consumer consumption. The opening can be closed and sealed by a standard adhesive tape.
As shown in Figure 3, bag 11 is preferably formed from a pair of overlying first and second panels 22 and 23, respectively.
