Abstract
Description
- This application claims priority under 35 U.S.C. §119(e) of U.S. provisional patent application Ser. No. 61/513,001 filed on Jul. 29, 2011, the contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference in their entirety.
- 1. Field of the Disclosure
- The present disclosure relates to a child-resistant bag or a tamper-resistant bag wherein a one-time close-only zipper is provided near the opening of the bag, and one or more additional zippers which can be opened only from the inside of the bag (that is, the user pulls apart the bag walls from the product side of the zipper) are provided in the interior of the bag to define a product compartment.
- 2. Description of the Prior Art
- The need for child-resistant and tamper-resistant bottles for medicine and similar substances is self-evident and well-established. In the prior art, representative examples of child-resistant or tamper-resistant pill or medicine bottles can be found in U.S. Pat. No. 5,938,055 entitled “Safety Cap and Container”, issued on Aug. 17, 1999 to Philips et al. and U.S. Pat. No. 5,449,078 entitled “Combination of a Container and a Safety Cap Therefor”, issued on Sep. 12, 1995 to Akers.
- However, such prior art pill bottles are expensive to produce. Additionally, there is the land fill issue. Billions of prescriptions are filled every year in the United States and throughout the world. These bottles, when discarded, take up a substantial volume in land fills. Likewise, this substantial volume adds to manufacturing and transportation costs. Additionally, many prior art pill bottles, with caps, include more than one material thereby increasing recycling costs.
- It is therefore an object of the present disclosure to provide a tamper-resistant, child-resistant container which provides the advantages of prior art bottles, but which has reduced manufacturing, transportation and recycling costs.
- This and other advantages are attained by providing a flexible polymer bag or package with at least two zippers. The first zipper, placed more closely to the mouth of the bag, is a one-time close-only zipper. The second zipper (which may be replaced by a plurality of similar zippers) is further away from the mouth of the bag than the first zipper, and is designed to be opened only by pulling on the bag walls on the product side of the package rather than on the bag walls on the consumer side of the package. Additionally, a perforated line or other line of weakness may be provided in the bag walls between the two zippers in order to provide initial access to the bag and further to provide tamper evidence.
- Further objects and advantages of the disclosure will become apparent from the following description and from the accompanying drawings, wherein:
-
FIG. 1 is a plan view of the package or bag of the present disclosure. -
FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view along plane 2-2 ofFIG. 1 , illustrating a zipper which can be opened from the product side but not from the consumer side. -
FIGS. 3-6 are cross-sectional views of alternative embodiments of the package or bag of the present disclosure. - Referring now to the drawings in detail wherein like numerals indicate like elements throughout the several views, one sees that
FIG. 1 is a package orbag 10 of the present disclosure. Thebag 10 is typically made from co-extensive front andrear walls bottom seal 16 and first andsecond side seals rear walls walls rear walls seals mouth 22 at the top ofbag 10 is left unsealed to provide for initial product insertion. However, one-time close-only zipper 26 is attached to the interior of front andrear walls mouth 22. This allows thebag 10 to be manufactured empty and subsequently transported to a different location, such as a pharmacy, where the contents are placed into thebag 10 and the one-time close-onlyzipper 26 is closed. The design of a one-time close-only zipper 26 is well known and typically is made from polymeric material and includes female profile elements or other interlocking elements which are so stiff as to not release the engaged male profile elements or corresponding elements without damage to the zipper. - Additionally, inwardly from the one-time close-only
zipper 26 is product-side-only openingzipper 28 thereby defining aproduct area 30 betweenbottom seal 16 andzipper 28, and likewise bounded by first andsecond side seals zipper 28, typically made of polymeric material, can be opened only by grabbing or pinching the front andrear walls product area 30 and pulling thewalls zipper 28. If a child or other person tried to open thezipper 28 by grabbing or pinching thewalls FIGS. 1 and 2 , above the zipper 28), thezipper 28 would not open thereby providing a child-resistant characteristic. Some embodiments may include a plurality of product-side-only openingzippers 28, placed parallel to each other, to provide additional child resistance. This is illustrated byzipper 28′ in phantom inFIG. 1 . - Optionally, first and
second gussets 19, 21 may be placed on the sides of thebag 10, proximate toside seals bag 10 to stand upright, as may be desired when the consumer places thebag 10 in a medicine chest or similar location. First andsecond gussets 19, 21 are illustrated as extending the entire height ofbag 10, but may likewise be formed only below product-side-only openingzipper 28. - A line of
perforations 29, or other line of weakness (such as, but not limited to, laser scoring), may be provided on one or both of front andrear walls zippers zipper 28 after one-time close-onlyzipper 26 has been closed (typically by, but not limited to, a pharmacist). -
FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view of the product-side-only openingzipper 28, which is typically made from polymeric material. This figure explains the functioning ofzipper 28. Zipper 28 includes amale profile 30 and afemale profile 32. Product-side-onlyopening zipper 28 achieves its product-side-only opening characteristics by the asymmetric characteristics of male andfemale profiles Male profile 30 includes base 36 (illustrated as sealed or otherwise attached tofront wall 12, but thewalls FIG. 2 ) withstem 38 extending therefrom, the distal end ofstem 38 being attached to enlarged rounded arrowhead-shaped element 40. On the product side of thezipper 28, the rounded arrowhead-shaped element 40 includes a relatively flat external area 42 at the transition betweenelement 40 andstem 38. However, on the consumer side of thezipper 28, the rounded arrowhead-shaped element 40 includes a concave arcuate detent indentation 44. Thefemale profile 32 includes base 50 (illustrated as sealed or otherwise attached torear wall 14, but thewalls FIG. 2 ) and first and second extendingarms 52, 54 for extending around and engaging the rounded arrowhead-shaped element 40 on the product side and the consumer side, respectively. First extending arm 52 terminates in a relatively flatinternal area 56. Second extendingarm 54 terminates in an inwardly hookeddetent element 58. In the interlocked position of the male andfemale profiles FIG. 2 , relatively flatinternal area 56 is positioned against relatively flat external area 42 whereas inwardly hookeddetent element 58 detent engages within concave arcuate detent indentation 44. In this configuration, opening forces applied on thewalls FIGS. 1 and 2 , below zipper 28) cause first extending arm 52 to slide easily around and off the rounded arrowhead-shaped element 40 (with inwardly hookeddetent element 58 serving as a fulcrum) thereby disengaging the male andfemale profiles walls FIGS. 1 and 2 , above product-side-only openingzipper 28, as a child would be expected to attempt to open the bag 10), would cause inwardly hookeddetent element 58 to engage more tightly into concave arcuate detent indentation 44 thereby preventing the male andfemale elements zipper 28 in the interlocked configuration. - The
bag 10 is typically manufactured withzippers product area 30 ofbag 10 and, first, closes product-side-only openingzipper 28 and then closes one-time close-only zipper 26. The consumer then receives thebag 10 at the pharmacy or other location, and typically takes thebag 10, including medicine, home or to some other location. The consumer then either opens the line of perforations 29 (or other line of weakness) or cuts the front and/orrear wall zippers rear walls bag 10 above the line ofperforations 29 may be removed. The consumer then grasps the front andrear bag walls zipper 28, withinproduct area 30 and pulls front andrear walls zipper 28 and providing access to the medicine inproduct area 30. The user then takes the appropriate amount of medicine, such as, but not limited to, pills, from theproduct area 30 andrecloses zipper 28 until the next dose is required. -
FIGS. 3-6 illustrate embodiments with bottom gusset 19′.FIG. 3 is an embodiment with bottom gusset 19′, a single product-side-only openingzippers only zipper 26.FIG. 4 is an embodiment with bottom gusset 19′, two product-side-only openingzippers element 26 in other figures).FIG. 5 includes two product-side-only openingzippers only zipper 26.FIG. 6 is similar toFIG. 5 , but reverses the male-female orientation of product-side-only opening zipper 28. - Thus the several aforementioned objects and advantages are most effectively attained. Although preferred embodiments of the invention have been disclosed and described in detail herein, it should be understood that this invention is in no sense limited thereby and its scope is to be determined by that of the appended claims.
